Show Theatre. "Jeiebel" was repeated last night to a fair audieooe, and was I followed by "LSkcichf-- in India,'! well played, Miad 'Jray Sally Scraggs and Mr. Chaplin as Tom Tape, keeping keep-ing the audience roaring. To-oight .Miss Ada Gray takes her farewell benefit, and presents "Who's Wife," a drama written expressly for her. Goldic, YS3 Gray) loves and is secretly married to Lionel Bryson (Mn Marden). He goes away, first pledging pledg-ing her to continued secrecy, and she becomes a mother. Iler sister Belle (Miss Walters) is engaged to Bryson, suspects tho truth, and behaves so harshly to G oldie that the latter is compelled to leave home. Under an assumed name, and believing her husband hus-band dead, she marries Major Ferrell, (Mr. Thome) who is up in years but is manly and generous. They return to her former home, and here she denies her identity, which her sister again suspects, and cruelly treats her child with a view to force her to a disclosure. The supposedly dead Lionel returns,and Goldie finds herself confronted with two husbands; but her sister Belle poisons the older of the two, who is apparently apparent-ly about to die after learning of his wife's previous rrarriage, to prevent his willing his property to Goldie, and with a view to secure it to herself. There is an interesting underplot, in which Ferrell Bryson (Mr. Graham) and other characters play an important part; while Sardy Capers (Mr. Chaplin) Chap-lin) who is "poor, but honest, with a predcliction for Goldic," figures conspicuously con-spicuously in the piece, and aids the denouement in which Goldic and Lionel Lio-nel are reunited. |
