Show THE CITIZEN 20 WHISPERING WIRES. Love and mystery go hand in hand in the unusual Whispering Wires, presentation of Ilalph Cloninger and his players for next week at the Wilkes Theatre, starting tomorrow night. Aside from the perplexing problem of how a man can be shot down while in a locked room with the windows barred and no one near him, Whispering Wires owes much of its phenomenal success to the fact that it is one of the greatest love stories ever told. The romance of the dashing captain, Barry McGill, and the beautiful heiress, Doris Stockbridge, the roles to be played by Ralph Cloninger and Miss Mary Newton, his already popular new leading lady, is really the revolving point of this amazing mystery success. Doris father has a violent quarrel with the young army officer and shortly afterward is slain in cold blood in a manner unprecedented. The crime involves the entire household and several outsiders in a surprising series of complications which hold playgoers in suspense until the very last curtain. Whispering Wires drew packed houses and standing room was at a premium for more than a year when the play was presented in New York at the Schuberts 49th St. Theatre. The tired and jaded critics of the metropolis were shaken fiom their unusual boredom. They were frankly astonished and from their typewriters there clicked voluminous praise. The Telegram announced that the play excelled its predecessor, The Cat and the Canary. From the pen of Kate L. McLaurin, the play was taken from the novel of the name, of Henry Leverage which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. It is a thrilling story of action, adventure and thrilling climaxes. Into this play the author has injected the first trouble hunter ever staged as such and he plays an important part at that. reveal the entire story or Whispering Wires would spoil the play. Mystery plays are the kind that patrons are urged not to tell to their friends to avoid spoiling the thrills foi them. Whispering Wires will be played every night next week with matinees Thursday and Saturday.
