It comes to the Lyric October Oc-tober 2nd, exactly as shown there. Three acts, the first of which contains con-tains two scenes, are required to tell tho story of the vailous angles to tho domestic triangle evolved by tho author. Tho plot Is developed in a delightfully humorous vein, nnd Is extremely ex-tremely original and unconventional In treatment.
