a successful run in New York John Hud-
sons Wife" is the work Of Alicia Ramsey
and Rudolph De Cordova, two English
authors 1t is described as drama Of
strong emotional interest and contains the
virile quality of molodrama. Honor Beau

Beauchamp. in order to gain the money
necessary to pay for his extravagances, ar
ranges match between his daughter and
John Hudson, an extremely wealthy man
of humble origin. Through the scheming
of the father, Honor believes that Hudson
marries her merely to advance his social
position, while Hudson gets the impression
that the heroine cares only for his wealth.
Beauchamp and his profigate son commit
forgeries and a theft of valuable political
documents. At this climax the true feelings
of the husband and wife are brought to the
surface. 1t is said that Miss Spong has
