venture before he lays his case before
the larger centers, where he will be
an entire stranger in his present eff
fort It is to be doubted whether Mr.. Mil
Ter will add anything to his already
brilliant record as an actor by what
he personally does in his new play,
Her Husbands Wife" The play does
not reveal a character suited to the
temperament of Mr.. Miller, although a
polished and seasoned actor such as
he is could not fail TO impress his per-
sonality no matter the insignificance
or unsuitability of the role assigned
him. That is the situation in Her
Husbands Wife" as far as Mr.. Miller
is individually concerned. If the play
survives, and there is no reason why 1t
should not, Mr.. Miller will have his
chief reward, aside from the material
benefits, in the credit that will come to
him as the producer of an amusing
comedy with a theme departing from
the monotonous. A hypochondrial wo-
man supplies the text for the author.
She is impersonated by Laura Hope
Crews Seven different physicians
and she takes medicines recommended
by her friends. In preparation for the
inevitable, her chief concern is for the
happiness of her husband, a role en-
trusted to Robert Warwick. She
chooses Emily Ladew, part played by
Grace Elliston, as her successor as
wife. The latter at first rebels at the
proposition, but when she learns she
was selected because of her sedate and
old-maidish ways, she sees the posi-
bilities of the situation, and she bios
SONS out as a real heart-breaker. and
Randolph, the husband, instantly grows
fond of her The wife tires of her bar
gain; she grows to hate her successor;
she tells her lies about her husband in
her desperation to turn her against
him, but the results have the opposite
effect from what she expected. In re-
alizing that she has been placed in the
position of a rival for the objections of
her own husband, she forgets her i'm
aginary physical ills, and refuses any
further medicines. OF course, all ends
well, and there is a reunited couple
and two betrothals in the final act.
The novelty of the theme and the in
genious treatment it is given by the
splendid company that Mr.. Miller is
supported by, doubtless will develop
the play into one of the popular cur
rent offerings. The play is beautifully
staged, and was greatly enjoyed by
those who witnessed it last night.

TONIGHT AT ILLINOIS.

A play that is receiving a large
share of public attention Is the dra-
matization of Mrs. Z. D. E. n. South
worth's popular novel, 'Ishmael." The
stage version is from the pen of that
clever dramatist, Grace Hayward,
whose "Grausta-k" and "St Elmo"
have delighted thousands. Much is
suggested by the play of 'Tshmaer'-
the elaboration of the plot, the process
of unTavelment by which a great wrong
is. righted, and vital question of to-
day = international marriage II is put
forth in an entirely new light, and the
fact that Mrs. Southworth's story is
based on the life of one of our most
famous Americans, who, though OF
humble and obscure birth, rose to the
heights of everlasting glory and will
live in the hearts of the American peo-
pie for all time to come, makes the
development of the plot remarkably
adroit, creating anxious suspense and
maintaining unbroken interest, per
meated with the strength and great
ness of the beloved character of "Ish-
mael' To relieve the intensity of
some of the dramatic scenes it has a
quaint comedy charm and many humor-
Gus situations that are most amusing
and clever. The locale of the play af-
fords unusual opportunity for the dis
play OF elaborate scenic mountings.
The cast is composed of players of
note The play will be presented this
evening at the Illinois theatre.

History of Red cros. Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anu-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a. hastily or
ganized campaign Of only three weeks
they realized $1,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $780,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement In 1909 under many
adverse conditions, $250,O0O was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "a Million for
From Red Cross Seals

1900 miles. However, this French achievement
is overshadowed by the Salmon's cruise because

to Bermuda, was not only the first
