There 10 promise of something un-
usual in theatrical entertainment in
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" the ia
nous New York farce hit which A.
II. Woods will present at the Odeon
theater Wednesday evening, direct
from a years run In Chicago and
New York, where it provided the
most popular comedy Of the season.
Even with Mr.. Woods famous in
stinct for picking farces, the New
York press and public were agreed
that the noted manager had outdone
himself in selecting "Parlor, Bedroom
and Bath It would be an injustice
both to the play and its patrons to
divulge the plot in advance. It IL
said to be amazingly original and
concerns the unexpected "doings" of

who finally decides to live up to his
wife's opinion of him as Don Juan
and gets moro than either he or she
bargained for. Odeon.
