engagement at the Duval was for two
performances, each audience was de-
lighted. -,
French farces, as all theater goers
understand, are unique in that they
inveigle their characters into the
most positively impossible situations
and wiggle them out-very much as
| the French would do in real life with
shrug of the shoulders and i
quick, slight movement upwards of
the hands. Sleeping Partners intro
duces the inevitable triangle. The
charming young wife who is fairly
hypnotized into an adventure with a
Western Don Juan temporarily So
journing in Paris, is by most re-
markable accident compelled to spend
the night in his rooms.
The Irritation has been all on one
side up to the time ti1t the young
woman is given sleeping potion
through the bungling of the adorer,
who has undertaken to find some
aromatic spirits of ammonia. The
womanu having succumbed to the
drug and slept peacefully until the
next day the situation seems about
to develop scandal andperhaps di-
vorce. But at the most desperate
moment the husband, whose dinner
engagement had made the opportun
ity for the wife to call on her new
admrer, turns up-not looking for
his wife, however, but anxious to gel
advice. He had arse been out all
night and the third party" has o
chance to square everything; and the
wife is only bit wiser for the es
capade and likely to be more careful
in the future.
Sleeping Partners is a we'll written
story and when told by thoroughly
competent actors it cannot fail tt
amuse Miss Goodrich, as indicated
previously is most attractive in tn,
part of the wife, her conception oil
{; the role being eminently satisfactor,
and the contrasting emotions dc.
manded are most aptly demonstrated
A Partisan type, contrasted with the
American lover the picture is O,
wildly flashing lights and shadows
Another broadly drawn character, the
husband, is also interesting in its
way and was most entertainingly
portrayed by Mr. Webb. AS the
American. Herman Grips is great
For as much as half of the second
act he is the entire show and holds
easily the attention ashe decorates
his apartment, perfumes it and in
mohoiogue and pantomine describes
the coming of his latest darling" to
spend an hour with him at home
And 1t should not be overlooked that
Mr.. Peyton played the admirable
valet to perfection
The three acts of Sleeping Partners
is given in the bachelors fat typical
no doubt of many in comfortable
part of Paris. and minor matters are
well arranged and progote interest
IN time and place, and add to the
general enjoyment of the production
The final performance was last
night.
