JOY DISPENSER,
IS THIS PLAY
Fair and Warmer Has a
Good Plot, Clever Lines,
Good Performers.

FL Pasoans who attended the open
ing performance Of Fair and Warm
err" at the Texas Grand Thursday
night, had the pleasure OF Witnessing
one OF the funniest farces Of the sea-
son. 1t was a laugh almost every
second, and it was good clean fun,
based upon a family tangle-two
family tangles, to be exact-that
brought about all sorts of ridiculous
situations and resulted in curing
case Of Jealousy and a couple OF cases
Of indifference.
The fun revolves around a wife who
loves pleasures and grows weary Of
her husband because he is too good
for any self respecting woman" on
the one hand, and a husband who
loves a night out, but has a wife as
supremely Jealous as she is confident
in his fidelity, on the other hand.
The Jealous, confident wife and the
Husband who is too good" are acct
den lly left at home the same eve
nins, while the husband Of the former
pays a visit to The Mystic Shrine"
and the wife Of the latter makes the
rounds OF the cabarets with a young
sport who was her sweetheart before
she married.
The stay at homes decide to see If
they can't regain the love Of their
helpmeets by compromising them
selves, and they succeed far beyond
their most sanguine expectations,
with the result that two divorces are
imminent and the two innOcents be-
come the black sheep" OF the two
families until a servant girl with a
penchant for damning bells that ring
at midnight explains what she can,
and circumstances and the two Of
tenders explain the rest.
The manner Of unfolding the plot
is as clever as the denouement- The
members Of the cast are all equal to
the parts, even to the old man who
plays the small part Of the furniture
mover Miss Lillian Foster, as the
innocent wife, is girlish and dainty.
and Miss Grace Benham, as the wife
with fondness for cabarets and night
life, is striking and almost vampish.
Philip Evans alexander J. Herbert)
can hardly be blamed for falling in
love with her, even when he knows
she is another mans wife. Henry
Stockbridge, as the contented hus-
band, acts a difficult part most ac-
ceptably and Jack Hayden, as Jack
Wheeler, the Mystic Shriner," is
dashing and flirty enough to please
the most romantic matinee maiden.
The lines OF the show are as clever
as the plot and the acting is such
that it brings out the best in the play.
1t is a real gloom killer and joy dis
penser. G. 4. n.
