The Unloved wife" Tomorrow

Those who still have faith in the
theatre as a place where real ant
may be made a successful enter
prise, will welcome the forthcom ng
engagement of "The Unloved Wife"
new play in three acts at the
Grand Opera House, Thursday, Oct.
IL and it seems entirely possible
that the rising generation may yet
have the opportunity of becoming
acquainted with the better forms of
semi-class.c dramatic works. 1t is a
field that has been altogether neg
lected in. recent years.
THE Unloved Wife" is an i'm
presSive, forcible story that will
tighten the heart strings and capture
the imagination, yet built upon a
happening IN real life, a miraculc rs
event that changed a woman's des-
tiny. 1t is a play that bares wo-
mans soul, and is a fascinating
story depicting the sterling virtues
and weaknesses of mankind. 1t
abounds in thrills; is daring in its
revelations, startling in its intensity,
and is presented by an excellent cast
Of players, who will give the fullest
favor to the lines and situat ons.

fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson were
not at home at the time and the fire
alarm was sent in by Mrs. SaXvick,
