“THE NEWLYWEDS." It is useless to go Into detail regarding "The Newlyweds," for everybody is more or less familiar with this funny couple, and those who attend the performance will enjoy many big hearty laughs. It 1 is termed by the press and public as one of the funniest I plays on the American stage. The I I story deals with a young newly mar--1 ried couple, who are to spend their 1 honey-moon down tn the country to 1 keep their marriage a secret from i friends and relatives. Mr. Newlywed's father is very much opposed to mat- ‘ rlmony and has warned his son that if he should disobey him and get mar- : ried before he has finished his term In college he will disinherit him of a very comfortable little fortune. Little Cupid begins to be stronger than his I will-power and he plunges into the ' sea of matrimony and marries Kitty ' Conners, the girl of his choice. Think- ■' ing there may still be a chance to ' win his father's fortune he endeavors I to keep his marriage a secret until | his college days are over. Then when ■ his father and friends from the city i i happen to find him and his little bride . living in a romatnic cottage in the ! country, there are a great many explanations necessary. In an effort to conceal the truth he prevaricates to them and finally involves Harry Morton and Nellie Simpson, two very intimate friends, into the entanglement. Their efforts to help the "Newlyweds" conceal the truth from the old gentle tnan, make the situation eVen more complicated and humorous and when everything is finally straightened out, Jack's father not only gives his fortune to him but offers his sincere congratulations and blessings. During the action of the play there are seven up-to-date numbers introduced. They carry special scenery for this production and a company of clever artists. Miss Parrish was the leading woman with “The Gentleman From Mississippi,” last season and is one of the cleverest little actresses on the American stage. The play is clean and moral in every respect and fit for the most refined ladies and children to witness. There is not a suggestive or profane word spoken during the performance.
