STORY OF MRS. WIGGS"

Richmond play-goers promise to give
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch"
an enthusiastic reception upon her re-
turn to the
Gennett, Saturday, Matinee and Night.
Mrs. Wigs is always a welcome WIS.,
itor. Even since she left the cabbage
patch in Louisville she has made thou
sands of friends, and the droll philoso-
ply of this feminine optimist has car
ried around the world. Book plays are
not as a rule long-lived, but Mrs.
Wigs bids fair to run for a genera
ton. 1t is already an American hum
orous classic, and as the public waited
long for a great woman humorist, so,
too, they will cling long to such
striking conception as that Of Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" and the
satellites Of good humor and innocent
jollity around her. The play itself is
clean, fresh and morally uplifting.
The comedy interest centers In the
mirth- provoking episode of Mr.. Stub
bins and his matrimonial designs upon
! little Mis- Hazy, the meek and shift
less neighbor of Mrs. Wigs. Both
! characters are intensely humorous and
altogether original. The impersona-
ton of Mis- Hazy has proven a per-
fectly fitting vis-a-vis to that Of Hiram
Stubbins, who, in the first act woos
and wins her, then falls from grace
and disappears for a time from the
patch, though not Of his own volition;
but. on his return, thanks to his bril-
liant war record and pension allow
ance. is once more received by his wife
and friends and made the hero Of the
| closing scenes
These two characters are we'll
] springs OF laughter and are secondary
only. of course. to that of Mrs. Wigs
herself. whose homely philosophy and
cheerful temperament, added to her
| genius and practical piety, prove an in
spiration and an object lesson to all.
The play will be presented here I'M
| der the management of the United
Play Co.
