BLANCHE YURKA RETURNS TO
THE WALKER COMPANY MONDAY.
! Next week at the Murat the Stuart
Walker company will be seen in "A Pair
of Silk Stockings" one Of the most thor
oughly entertaining and highly amusing
comedies that England ever gave AmerS =
/ lea. This play, which was the reigning
success Of both London and New YORK
few seasons ago, is by Cyril Harcourt,
who is master at writing high
comedy. With diabolical cleverness does
! Mr.. Harcourt delve into the foibles of
/ his characters in the play. He diyulges
/ the merest trifes in the lives Of a group
Of Britishers, faToring his work with
bit Of the unusual in incident and char
acterization, the whole being set forth
as delightful and mannerly entertainment,
/ it is assured
"A Pair Of Silk Stockings" has as its
theme a philosophy akin to the famous
adage which asserts that ITS a great
life if you don't weekend" 1t tells the
innocent If somewhat sophisticated story
Of an English week end party whittier
husband. his divorced wife, and former
sutton together with the latter's finance
meet again after a lapse of years. The
attempt of the husband vho-was to recon
Gle himself to his wife who-was, coupled
with the unexpected return of that per
sonage's former sutton to the room he had
occupied but which she now inhabits, pro-
vide framework for the complications
which follow. A tramp wanders on the
scene adding TO the excitement. He is
mistaken for the master of the house, and
affairs reach a higher pitch Of interest
when the husband who is caught caves
Id~.7ping in his wife's room is tied hand
and foot with a pair of his wife's six
( stockings.
