"A Wife's Secret"

A beautiful stage portraiture of a
woman's fidelity and mans injustice
is said to be charmingly presented in
the successful emotional drama. "a
Wife's Secret" which Spencer ard
Aborn produced three years ago on a
splendid scale, and which has steadily
grown in popularity ever since. in
many cities where it has played three
annual engagements. 1t will be seen at
the Keylor Grand theater, Saturday
Oct L.
Far from losing its prestige by rep
etition. criticisms clipped from news-
papers in other cities show that this
year it is meeting with more enthu-
siasm than ever before. and on account
of its exceptional merit as a dramatic
work. and a mirror held up to human
nature. its popularity is likely to con-
tinue for a long time. 1t involves an
interesting story, told in a simple,
straightforward manner, with engage
ing heart interest, thrilling realism
and original comedy. The cast is re-
in every detail of it's personnel con-
tanning such familiar lanes as Grace
Bayley, Josie Sisson, Ernest P. Evers.
