John f tS. Critchlow will bo seen as Simqn I.c- i grce. E. C. Penrose will be Marks, and ; D. C. Dunbar, Skcggs.

A verv fortunnfo circumstance, cir-cumstance, too, for oilier star players havo experienced similar difficulties in finding dramatic material of sufficient quality of purpose to givo' it serious consideration.

The story of the plav is interesting, in-teresting, the story being well connected con-nected throughout the I luce acts, ami I from a historical standpoint is an educational edu-cational feature of value. The scenes of the plav are laid in Koine during 1 he time ol the Napoleon code of marriage, mar-riage, and Stephanie do Mohrivartc, the title role of "A Wicked Woman." who is the mistress of a notorious gambling hall, has social aspirations, and her many schemes to enter the associations of the social 100 of Koine form the foundation foun-dation for the play. The various situations situa-tions and climaxes are worked out in a i clever manner, and interest in the plav j docs not lag from tho opening act to the fall of the curtain on the last scene : 1 The costumes -worn by .Miss Dcfl'rv 111 the role of Stephanie do Mohrivartc are a feature of the production, the gowns being made in strict accordance to the fashions then in vogue, and more than valuable owing to their historical ass-) -iii turns. The latter half of the week at t lie Grand, Miss Dcfl'rv will present the screamingly funny comedy drama. ' ' A Fool's Paradise." and for the lovers of good, clean comedy there will be a rare treat in store. There is not 11 dull moment mo-ment in the entire plav, and a sure cure for the blues is guaranteed. Some of the best known players associated -with Miss DetTrv in her presentation of these two bills are Knlph ('loniugor, Carroll McFurhiud, Dorinan Kdwnrds, Earnest SpofYar.l, Artie Mav Dlnekl.uni and Dorolny Koyal.
