This wonderful successful play tells the story of the Bumpstead family. For thirty years Mrs. Bumpstead has nagged her husband. hus-band. In and out of season she barks at him her disapointment that she married a weakling and a failure instead of the grand young man named Chester whom she loved but who went away to the big city and became rich. Cyrus is' the name of the long suffering hus- j band and he becomes a character1 with whom we can sympathize as j readily as laugh at. He is an exam-1 pie of monumental good nature and j patience. In the midst of the continual con-tinual bickering of his wife and elder eld-er daughters, his temper remains unruffled. He is one of those men whose desire for peace and willingness willing-ness to be good to others has been mistaken for weakness by all but his loving daughter, Elaine. . Cyrus decides to help this youngest young-est daughter to get married to a grocer's boy whom she loves, that she may escape the barrage of sour sniffs Mrs. Bumpstead steadily stead-ily lays down. He cheerfully undertakes under-takes to wash the supper dishes when the mother and two elder daughters depart for the movies. First he goes to lodge meeting, however, how-ever, and comes home beaming with the spirit of the occasion, and but if the rest of the story is told the fun of seeing the play will be spoiled. j Go to the Cameo next Monday , evening and enjoy one of the best J evenings you have spent among ; tears and laughter.
