OVERNIGHT AT THE
BELASCO, DELIGHTS
LARGE AUDIENCE
Farce Comedy Has Many
/ Amusing Situations and
',$r3 ...,% Lines.

There was nothing at the Belasco last
night to indicate that the Capitals Len
ten period had not expired, for an audi
ence of midwinter proportions spent a
thoroughly enjoyable evening laughing
over the predicament of the Newly
IWeds' in William A. Brady's delightful
little farce-comedy, "Over Night"
Two hours of almost continuous laugh
ter might safely be guaranteed with
each ticket sold, for the capital has seen
but few offerings that have proven more
mirth provoking than this. Two hours
only Is required for the production, but
there Is something doing almost every
minute.
Like all proper and we'll regulated
farces, 1T hinges on a very thin thread
of plot, but a sufficient one to give op-
portunity for complication after COM
plication with richly humorous results.
Two bridal couples are starting on their
honeymoons and one husband and one
bride miss the boat. Unfortunately for the
newly weds, but fortunately for the audi
ence, the pair left on the boat is the hus-
band of the bride ashore and the bride
of her companion. All of this happens
right at the first, and all the way
through until the final curtain COM
plications pile up
Ernest Truck deserves first honors for
his excellent work as the meek little
husband of the suffragette wife. Left
on board ship with the bride of his old
college Chum, he takes full advantage
of the laugh-bringtng opportunities and
is ably seconded by clever little Miss
Madge Kennedy, the clinging vine
bride, he finds thrust on his hands.
Florence Huntington, so kindly remem-
bered for her work in stock here, Is a
very charming suffragette bride, and
Robert Kelly handles his role of bluff,
masterful bridegroom, acCeptably. All
OF the cast is in capable hands with no
noticeable weak spots to mar the pro-
duction, necessity in a successful
farce.
One of the bright spots of the per-
formance is the character work of Ar
thur Aylsworth as the clerk in the inn.
Everything possible in the way of stage
setting has been done to make the Of
fering pleasing.

The highest point Of woman's
happiness is reached only through
motherhood, in the clasping Of her
child within her arms. Yet the
mother-to-be is often fearful of ma
ture's ordeal and shrinks from the
suffering incident to it's consumma-
tion. But for natures ills and dis
comforts nature provides remedies,
and in Mothers Friend is to be
found medicine of great value to
every expectant mother. 1t is an
emulsion for external application,
composed of ingredients which act
with beneficial and soothing effect
on those portions of the system in
Volved. 1t is intended to prepare
the system for the crisis, and thus
relieve, in great part, the suffer-
ing through which the mother usu-
ally passes. The regular use Of
Mothers Friend will repay any
mother in the comfort it affords be-
health and strength 1t brings about
