John Drew, Billie Burke and an arts
tocratic company in the French comedy
My Wife" at the Van Ness theater
last night completely met the expec-
tations of large. fashionable and
distinguished audience Expectations
in the case of John Drew were natur-
ally fulfilled He is the same polished
actor. debonair. chubby" well groomed

man who finds himself temporarily
married TO his ward so that She may
subsequently marry her real affinity
Drew was fauitless at all times, wheth-
er in the farcicaI passages, with which
the ingenious play is full. or in the
more serious scenes where he finds
himself growing fonder of his ward
than a mere make believe husband in
charge OF anothers future wife
should be.

she will grow beyond the stature Of
her present excellence. She Is one
would say. just the sort OF a leading
lady Drew requires. She has distinc-
ton OF manner and rare beauty of the
girlish type. not easily defined. but
easily appreciated; a glory of tinted
brown hair glowing with a Titan
shade; a prettily nodded face. with the
pink cheeks OF youth, and an engaging
accent almost : 1fSn n her

appeal She is graceful and has imagi-

and natural Altogether, Billie Burke
IS a charming Trixie and makes Ger

Trixie has an inheritance from her
dition that she is married when she is
Is years Of age. She has lover TO
whom her father objects: the father
has a sutton TO whom she objects. Drew

aunt's will and Trixie persuades him 70
marry her IN fornality only so that she
will comply with the conditions of the
beauest- After year they agree she
shall divorce him and marry her real
sweetheart.
In the end the real sweetheart is sup
planted in Trixie's affections by Gerald,
her guardian and make believe husband
and the play thus closes Meantime
there have been four acts OF lively
comedy and some intensely amusing
scenes, as when the mother and father
come upon Gerald and Trixie in the
middle OF quarrel, and not under

that the unhappy bride is being abused
