GREATEST FARCE THAT EVER
STRUCK CITY cONvUlsEs
LARGE AUDIENCE
Play VIII Be Repeated Twice To-day
and Large Audiences Are
Anticipated.

The best company of fareeurs that
has been seen In Wheeling in many
a long day came TO the Court Theater
last night In an uproariously funny
farce called "A Pair OF Skies" Ralph
Herr heads the cast-he OF the mobile
face and the funny mannerisms-and
his aides are such well known players
as Eethel Jackson. the original Merry
Widow In the Lehar operetta OF that
name; Mark Smith. whose forbears
have held honored places on the
American stage for Ave generations:
Richie Ling. who made himself known
a. an operate tenor. Is the fourth
member OF o practically all-star cast
You begin 10 enjoy this exceedingly
funny farce from the minute the cur
tain rises. You litter at first and
then. when you see that your neigh
bors are doing likewise. you laugh
louder and louder as the play pro-
ceeds. Every line in the play conveys
laughter to someone in tho audience.
This farce differs from other farces
that have been seen In Wheeling be-
cause It's laugh-provoking qualities are
cumulative and the situations increase
in mirth as the play proceeds. An
other unusual feature about this farce
is that II is clean and proper in con-
text and does not contain a single
situation that could offend the most
prudish. II is one long riot of laugh
ter. and the Wheeling playgoer who
misses this opportunity of seeing the
best farce of decade will be sorry.
Story Of the Play.

TO do with two business men who
