GRAND-"Wife for Wife," John A.
Stevens powerful melodrama of the
south, will be the offering of the
Girton stock company for one week
starting with the regular matinee on
Sunday.
This play tells the story of the days
when slavery was at it's height in the
south, and deals partly with the ques-
tion of slavery, although a feud be-
tween two prominent southern faml-
lies, which was so common in those
days, also plays an important part in
it's plot. Genuine human interest is the
one dominating feature of "Wlfe Tor
Wife"
There is plenty of good comedy
throughout the play and the love in
terest is by no means forgotten, for 1t
contains one of the prettieSt love
stories to be found in any melodrama.
1t is replete with exciting dramatic
situations. One of the particularly
thrilling scenes is the fight in the third
| act
| Iva Shepard,-who made her first ap-
! pearance as leading woman last week
| and whose success in the role of Belle
Diamond was almost instant, will this
week have an even better opportunity
to display her ability as an emotional
actress. She will be seen in the part
of Edith Walton, while George Wepp
should find splendid chances for good
work In the role of Edward Walton, a
southern gentleman the ante-pelluIl
days.

tertainers, will be heard. A manly chap

his friends by the familiar cognomen
