You never will know Just how much Invigorating comedy it is possible to crowd Into one evening until y,ou have seen Henry Miller and his company com-pany of clever associates In "Her Husband's Wife. A few hundred Ogden people experienced the pleasing pleas-ing demonstration at the Orpheum theater last night, but the audience vas proioitionato iu enthusiasm only and certainly not In numbers. Henry Miller was a success In tho drama. And if his work last evnln? In A E. Thomas' vehicle can be taken o a criterion there can be none who will not adjudge blm as equally successful suc-cessful In the lighter vein. His ability abil-ity to change Irom one mood to another an-other makes It possible for blm to aKSiime tho most difficult role, that of trustworthy friend of all concerned, with the grace and ability that could possibly bo desired. Joseph Beldeu, or "Uncle John.'' rs he Is called by all. is the confidential confiden-tial fiietid. trusted accomplice and even spiritual adviser of a devoted nnd jealous wife, ber unthoughtlul husband, an Infatuated nephew and a coquettish female who causes a lot of trouble. These live people, together togeth-er with the maid, form the entire company com-pany which presents this highly amusing amus-ing three-act comedy. The scene throughout the entire three acts is at the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Randolph. It if during the summer racing season at Saratoga. The stage setting, which is not changed during the play. Is a beautliul one, representing the draw-lug draw-lug room at tbe Randolph home. Mr. Thomas bas made the basis of bis clever comedy the eccentricities of a wife. who. Imagining that she Is ill and only briefly for this world, becomes be-comes magnanimous and selects her husband's second wife. This highly Interesting information Is conveyed to "Uncle Johu" and Miss Kmlly Ladew, the wife's choice, but unfortunately I'ot to Stuart Randolph, the husband. H Is easy to Imagine the highly ludicrous ludi-crous situations developing from this j uuusual procedure. "Uncle John," being of a nice, confiding con-fiding temperament, does his part toward to-ward complicating the difficulties and tben, In the end, usslst In adjusting evor thing to the complete satisfaction satisfac-tion of all concerned. Of course tho wife, realizing her mistake, decides not lo die and tho husband, being unable un-able to boIvo the queer complication. nds It all by contracting a Ufe-Blzed ''bun.'' it nbo develops that Bmllv l adew, tbo "husband's wife," Is the Boulmato of "Uncle John's" nephew. And "Uncle John" well, he just laughs. The Orpheum patrons should fee Grateful to Messrs. Klaw & Erlanger |
