“WIFE IN NAME ONLY”

Is Name of Next. Drama to Be Presented by Gordon Co., at Ellis’ Theater Saturday Night. The performance of Goethe's “Faust” which was given here last Saturday night by the Gordon Stock Company , was something of a revelation to local theatre-goers as the play is in every way distinctive and iq a class of its own —it is considered one of the most difficult of plays to give an- adequate production of—and Mr. Gordon and his associates deserve especial credit for giving such a rounded and well balanced performance. ' The scenery and light effects were very good and the general opinion of the auditors was that it was one of the best that the stock company has given. The play for this week will be “Wife in Name Only,” a four act comedy drama—which, under a different name, ran in the city of New York for over a year. Although the story of this drama is a beautiful one there are no less than five comedy characters Introduced in the course of Its action. As a special inducement to lady patrons, all ladies attending the Saturday night performance will be presented with a silver souvenir teaspoon. Prices will remain 25c, 35c and 50 c.
