my WIFE'S 5FAMlLY Y COMING.
Groups of Laughs For Comedy
Lovers.
Pleasant Evenings Entertainment
Promised.
Comedy All Evening Sunday at
Turner Theatre.

At the Turner Theatre next Sunday
evening, January 7th, ourtheatre goers
will have chance to see that merry
concoction of fun, music and amusing
frivolity, "My Wife's Family" a
musical farce comedy that as a con-
stant creator Of laughter is simply ir-
resistible. Clever comedians, pretty
girls, refined wit, jlngling airs, good
costumes and correct electrical effects
all go to make it popular success
and the patrons of the theatre may rest
assured of most delightful evenings
entertainment.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
has the following criticism on the per-
formance:
There is good laugh in "My Wife's
Family" 1t begins a few minutes af-
ter the curtain is rung up on the in
itial act, and continues until the finale.
Last nights audience demonstrated it's
favor early in the action of the farce
and grew clamorous toward the close.
The success of this clever skit demon
strated something beyond all question
Of doubt. It doesn't make any differ
ence who is responsible for the comedy
and it matters less whether the comedy
has plot Or not. It is a group of
laughs. Each is naturally produced
and each is enjoyed by the audience.
There is brand Of bright stuff car
donated on the stage and the eferve-
scence animates the audience as a
spirited water does a highball. Each
member of the company does some
thing. There are no loafers. The
comedy is as bright as it can be and
the stuff in it is good, but beyond and
above this the people who are present.
ing "My Wife's Family" are clever
and competent and know the value of a
good comedy. In days of dismal doubt,
when the world seems turned against
you, laugh is as welcome as va
grant breeze on a sudoriferous night.
There was so much of this sort of
thing last night that the audience never
paused to measure the artistic quality
OF the production. "My Wife's Fami-
ls' is a concoction fashioned upon IL
beral lines and is produced by two
comedians eminently qualified to sus-
tain the situations and enliven every
scene. AS said at the outset there is a
good laugh in "My Wife's Family -
and the man Or woman or child who
wishes to pass a very pleasant even
ing find it at the Turner Theatre. It is
~ much better than pepsin for indigestion.
