William Faversham reappears IN The
World and His Wife" at the Belasco
Tbeater next week When seen in the
play last September II was generally ac-
claimed as being one OF the finest acting
drsmas OF modern times. This dictum OF
Washington has been approved OF By re-
viewers. OF Cincinnati. Chicago. and New
York. AS a Christening OF the idle gossip.
The World and His WIFE has no equal
There have been many plays in which
caIumny has been help up 70 scorn. but
usually In a facetious way. Bit Echega-

Nirdinger made his play, The World ana

duces "a powerful spinal culver on re-
viewer was not far from the mark. 1t Is
a drama that gives the wagging tongue
OF the gossip an object lesson that he IS

OF The World and his Wife" Is simple

lentless force TO a startling finish. In

second act. as is often the case IN three
act plays. the climax comes. where IL
rightly belongs. al the end or the play.
The World and His Wife" was lately
presented n England by Martin Harvey,
the English actor-manager. and achieved
a pronounced hit This Is Mr.. Faver-
sham's first season as an acteT-manager.
and he has quickly reached solid footing.
His productions have proved that he is a
master OF the craft. Nothing more artistic
than his production OF The World and
His Wife" has been seen on the stage IN
modern times In another respect Mr..
Faversham has gone beyond expectations.
II Is customary 70 expect that the actor

should II happen that a few good actors
should Be IN their support they would be
given nothing to do that could 81 any way
dim the luster o. the star. Mr. Faver-
shaw not only brought together an IN
usually capable company but he gave
them something 70 do. In The World
and His Wife" which was written for
him. there are al least eight important
characters. and four which could safely
be classed as stellar roles Such seif-re-
preston IN an manager is note
worthy. Mr.. Faversham's presentation OF

need not stop al that point IN his critl-

habit Of babbling-
There can be no quarrel where hot
words are met BY silence Impulse bids
one answer back, but good sense shuts
the lips and forces back words which
should never be spoken Secrets leak
out, usually because women have loose
tongues. and that is the prime reason why
business men seldom take the feminine
members OF the family into their conf
dence- Dire confusion has sometimes re-
suited from the indiscreet utterances OF
wives OF prominent men whose cieverness
tempted the men into seeking advice an
sympathy.
Embarrassment IN neighborhoods wher
there is more OF less intimacy among the
