asked that an orcf1estration be
made.
Gene Ingle, local pianist, has
completed the orchestration, and

all probability rests with the ap-
plause it is given by persons who
attend. the ballroom tonight.
Mrs. Tanke says her inspiration
for the number was derived from
Bernie's by-Iine, will You Listen"

"Virtuous Husband" adheres to
the original lines of the stage play
as closely as the censors would per-
nit and bring to the screen what
many critics consider one OF the
most sparkling comedies in years.

ing role here in the Casey produc-
ton Of the play. BY virtue Of the
fact that the part requires her to
change from drab, plainly-dressed
woman in the opening scenes to a
stylish and attractive lady Of fash
ion in the later scenes, Miss Dale is
given abundant opportunities for
skillful Characterization as we'll as
a chance to wea- some beautiful
Partisan gowns.
Donald Woods will have the chief
masculine part in the play, and Dick
Elliott is to appear in the main
comedy role. The favorable part of

to Will Lloyd, himself a Briton.

vivacious young girl friend Of Miss
Dale's. The plays nearest approach

and daughter-will be enacted by
Jane Wheatley and Frances Busby.
Walter Davis will round out the cast

The task of staging and directing
"Nancy's Private Affair" here for
Arthur Casey is being handled by
William Blair. The pair of fash
ionable Westchester and Long Is
land settings for the play have been
designed and executed here in the
theater's own workshop by Milo
Denny.
Briefly, the comedy OF ''Nancy'S
Private Affair" is an outgrowth OF
the amusing campaign waged by
loving wife to win back an Grant
husband whose attentions have
wandered to another woman. She
had allowed herself to grow careless
of her appearance, and the hus-
band seeks his freedom in order to
marry the other girl.
The wife agrees to a divorce on
the condition that she be permitted
to meet face to face with her femi-
nine rival. Their meeting convinces
the wife that the girl is chiefly oc-
cupied with gold digging designs on
the husband. 49,
Immediately. the wife fortifes
herself with a Partisan wardrobe
and with the aid of her woman'S
wits resorts to unusual tactics to
regain her husbands affection.
The customary matinees will be
given Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday.

cause of the necessity of getting out

agreed that the girl, played by Miss
Lombard, will do this and supply
funds for their living expenses
