INTEREST IN 'MnKADO.v

IN the Shubert and William A.
Brady revival OF 1.-THE Mikado," at
The Playhouse Monday evening, April
20, among the well-known artists are
De Wolf Hopper, Alice Brady, Arthur
Cunningham, Arthur Aldridge, John
c. Thomas, Sara NJ. Edwards. Herbert
Waterous, Gladys Caldwell and
Maude Mordaunt
The success which attended the
revivals of "The Mikado,' made three
years ago, and "Pinafore," which fol-
lowed, prompted the management to
establish a permanent company and
increase the repertoire. In making
these revivals Il has been the aim
of the producers to adhere strictly 20
all the stage traditions which sur
round the Gilbert and Sullivan man
agement as they were given at the
Savoy Theatre, London, and TO that
end all the business found In the
original prompt books has been faith
fully preserved.
Aside from the high class produc-
tion there is great interest because of
the supper-dance at the Hotel du-
Pont after the play for the benefit
Of the Home for Merciful Rest II
is arranged principally for the
patrons of "The Mikado."

realize the truth of things as they
appear and are, among a people born

hearts on their sleeves. and seem
anxious to have the woman they love

Yesterday Dick and l went over to
Mother Waverly's to hear what dis
posal Dad had made, of the little he
had to leave.
Jack came alone and seemed much
surprised and little suIlzy when the
lawyer asked that Mary be sent for
Your wife is mentioned in the
will" said Mr.. Brown in his precise
tone. Everybody looked surprised at
this. Dick went to the telephone and
called up Mary.
The idea that Mary was mentioned
in Dads will l could see was not very
palatable either to mother or Jack.
Mollie looked curious only and Dicks
face was impressive.
While we waited mother tried to
chat with the lawyer, beginning with
the weather and ending with a discus
sion of his wife's health. Jack
drummed on the window pane and
looked bored. Mollie was called to
the phone twice and came back each
time with a contented, little pucker at

Dick studied the conditions of

shoulders.
When Mary came in she looked like
a flower. She has gotten back much
of her dainty good looks. 1 saw
Jacks eyes brighten. Most any man
will take interest in a pretty woman
even if she is his own wife.
Mr.. Brown, who has been a life
long chum of Dad Waverly. began by
saying: my old friend gave me to
understand that at the present time
Mrs. Jack Waverly knew more about
the business at the book store than
any one else IN the family"

continued Mr.. Brown, the shop,

Consequently, shorn of it's legal

net income therefrom paid to his wife,
Sarah Waverly, as long as she shall
live.
After her death the property is to
be divided between his son Jack (if
at that time he is living with his pres

daughter MoIlie. The home and it's

There was an ugly exclamation
from Jack, who got up so abruptly
that he overturned his chair as he
left the room.
