SHOW OPEN HERE

"Three Wise Men" by Austin
Strong, produced last night at the
New National Theater by Winchell
Smith and John L. Golden, was given
a thoroughly cordial reception by a
large audience OF first nighters. The
three-act comedy deserved all the
commentator it received, and the Ma
tionaTs patrons went away well
pleased with the evenings entertain
ment.
The story OF the play centers about
a girl whose mother, beloved OF all
the three wise men, committed the
young woman to their chivalrous care
when death robbed her OF her bur
dens. The ward becomes involved in
4 tragic net OF circumstances that
seems to convict her OF fragrant dis
loyalty to her protectors. However,
she energies triumphant from her
tribulations, safe in the arms Of the
nephew of one OF the wise men. The
youngsters steadfact faith in the
girls innocence. in the face OF her
apparent confession of guilt, provides
one OF the striking and appealing
features OF the story.

The lines are witty, the structure Of
the play is workmanlike, and the dra-

career. Mr.. Strong confded to the
