Show MI BELLS' A DELIGHTFUL COMEDY i With the reputation of being the best comedy produced in New York this season, "Wedding Bells," a Sel-wyn Sel-wyn production, comes to the Or-pheum Or-pheum theatre Wednesday evening, June 2, for one performance. The comedy is the work of Salisbury Field, a well known author who has several stage successes to his credit. For this new prouuetion from the distinguished management that-gave the public "Within the Law," "Fair and Warmer" and "The Crowded Hour" is chiefly concerned with the adventures of a divorced couple of a man who, deserted during his honeymoon, honey-moon, found consolation in the company com-pany of a second charmer, and arranged arrang-ed to marry her; of a vivacious, elusive, elu-sive, alluring creature who ran away from her husband only to fall in love with him all the more desperately when she happened to meet him again on the evo of the day when wedding bells were due to ring for him again. " Here is a new twist to the "eternal triangle," and a very amusing one into tho bargain, for Rosalie, the flightly first wife,- has a pretty wit and a pretty woman's faculty for promoting entangling alliances. But, bright and amusing as the play is, the author has to share the honors of the production with the brilliant cast provided by the Selwyns and which is headed by Wallace Eddinger and Margaret Lawrence. Mr. Edding-er's Edding-er's prominence as a comedian long ago won acknowledgement from American playgoers. In "Wedding Bells" he is as happily cast as he was in "The Boomerang. |
