THE MARGARET
..MY WlfE'S FAMILY" 4 CLEVER uTJLE
MUSICAL COMEDY.

tHss 1000 sss7a -L-HaH4 EEy ~
The clevcrest and most amusing
little musical comedy seen in Anaconda
for some time appeared at the Margaret
theater last evening. 1t was "My
Wife's Family" and it is an exposition
OF the ancient mother.in-law Joke, but
arranged in such a new and entertain.
ing manner that it is a real novelty.
The comedy work OF Ed E. Perry as
Doc Knott was an entertainment all by
itself and he was ably assisted. The
construction of the play is strong and
gives rise to most amusing and natural
situations.
1.-THE majority of people had believed
in the old saying "laugh and grow fat"
the Union theater would have been
crowded to the doors at the perfor.
nance last night of "My Wife's Family"
1t really was the funniest three act
mixup seen in Missoula for many a day,
and all present laughed u%proariously
from the time the curtain went up at
$50 until the conclusion of the perfor-
nance. Quite a number of singing and
dancing stunts were introduced during
the evening and all were very well
received. The company was a verv
capable one, and all concerned carried
out their parts to perfection. At Dick.
