CLEVER FARCE OPENS
SEASON AT ACADEMY

Manager Wise Of the Academy Of
Music was made happy last night by
a highly suspicious opening Of the
new theatrical season. The Selwyn

frequent expression Of its approval.
The play might we'll be called.
The Clever Husband" Gordon Ed

band OF the piece. made a convincing
presentation Of q busy gentleman who
suddenly finds that his wife intends
clipping with another man and Is not
thereby thrown into raptures of ex-
plosive rage. He RACES. all right bu:
conceals that emotion with great
cunning while he assists in the elope-
ment and later chaperones the eiop-
ers until--well. you must see the play
itself to get the full flavor Of all that
happened Eldrid's work, and there
was a lot OF IT, was excellent.
Reva Greenwood has the part OF
the neglected and Anticipated wife
and carries through with singular
charm the role which is so written a.
to leavN her very little initiative but
sible emotion. G. Elwood Farber
plays Darrell Mcknight" the phil
andsrer,. and manages very we'll the
rapid changes OF heart which the
part requires. Gertrude Walthers 10

men found twinkle In his kindly
eyes that they recognixed--and liked.
The supporting cast was fully up to
the mark.

turn Of the action. Against all prob
