“MA'S NEW HUSBAND.” A virile and arascible and amusing comedy character in “Ma's New Husband” is Colonel Culpepper, a wealthy old bachelor, who is in love at an age on the shady side of fifty. The object of his affections is a first cousin whom he loved in the days gone by and whom he lost by his slow tactics. He had never forgiven her for throwing him overboard in favor of another man, but now that that man is dead, he seeks to have his old age lightened by her love and care. Unfortunately for him, his own cousin is secretly affianced to a young man who is dead broke. When Culpepper invites the lady to assume the duties of housekeeper in his home, she brings along her impecunious lover, who cleverly takes the role of her son. a mere school boy. The scenes between this boy and Culpepper are explosive in their merriment and the old sport is so blinded by love that he fails to distinguish between a mother’s devotion and the tender passion of a woman who loves. Other guests in the house are placed in extremely funny predicaments by coming in contact with the designing mother and son, with the result that the entire action of the piece forces hearty laughter and applause. One performance only will be given at the Bosse opera house, Thursday, March 5. Seat sale commences Wednesday morning.
