cided appreciation at the Burwood Sunday.
And In addition to that, the staging of the
piece. which is satisfying In itself, and the
work of the players. including Edna Mar

oughly enjoyed. Miss Marshall, who comes
from Chicago to assume the parts formerly

Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Gibson, Mr.. Ingrsham,

is both charged with bigamy by his first
