The complications OF the story turn
upon an interesting problem. Daniel
Slade has risen from humble life to the
governors chair and grows ashamed of
the plain little wife of his youth and
casts her OF. He becomes infatuated
with Katharine Strickland, tfG ambi-
tious daughter of a Senator, who aims
to marry him when he is divorced. but
changes her mind. Slade then seeks a
reconciliation with his wife, but 1t Is
not until two years later, on q wintry
night with Jack Frost decorating the
windows and the wind blowing a gale
that a chance meeting in the popular
quick-lunch restaurant causes the wom-

joint authorship of Frank Wyatt and
william Morris, and which has been
touching the risibiiities of audiences
since It's original production By
Walter Lawrence at the Madison
Square Theater. New York.
From the moment Jack Temple be-
gins to spell his yarn to his pretty
wife about having spent the night
with one John Brown. and the little
lady sends a telegram to the some

but IL not prepared for the succession,
of ludicrous situations which tollow
in rapid succession until the last cur
tain finds all parties involved happy
once again, with suspicious and
jealousies all allayed.
While this satisfactory conclusion OF
the thoroughly original farce is being
accomplished the audience Ia kept In
hilarious mood. for the matter Of follow
ing Mrs. Temples unfortunate telegram
through many unintended hands Is a
delightful occupation for a summers
evening, exacting nothing Of an auditor

role Of the temperamentai Mrs. Temple
whom she impersonates with a serious
charm that Is quite captivating. Her
delicate beauty was accumulated last
evening by a succession Of smart frocks
which bid fair to be the envy of the
matinee devotee throughout the present
week.
Miss Heming is capably supported by
Earle Brown as Frank Fuller. the loyal
friend, who involves himself In mess in
his effort to help his friend: John NJ. Kline.

Mr.. Barber deserves high praise for
his unerring faithfulness to type last
