| Coast to Coast Tour ?f the I I and Critics Every WHAT THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE SAID ON SEPT. 25,1919: ("The Naughty Wife," a Selwyn comedy by Fred Ja^Kson, played ta a full house at the Grand last night, and prove' to be one of the most delightful surprises of several seasons, i It had been compared with several of the popular farces of the 1 past few seasons, in the advance notices, but it was far and away I cleverer than any of its predecessors. The lines of the play sparkle from beginning to end, and the situations are not only * ' I mirth-provoking in the extreme, out aengniiuuy suxp using, uic only event of the entire three acts happening as it could have been foreseen, being the happy ending. The play is presented by a cast of eight very clever people: Reeva Greenwood as Eloise, the girl wife who gets lonely and 1 1 1? 1?1 J lnn'-o" v. or- fAn miifh alone, and who fl Dorea DfciCaust? iter Iiusuanu icavco iivi wv 7 I because she has nothing to do, gets entangled with Darrell McI Knight (well called in the program a "philanderer") was delightI ful, and played the part to perfection. r* j?

C. Elwood Farber as "Darry" was more than good, and it was not so -hard to understand after all why the widow said she was a "dam fool" about him. Prrkhnhlv most DeoDle in the audience enjoyed most of all Ger I trade Walthers as Nora, the widow who certainly was "wise" where men are concerned, she had particularly clever lines, and knew how to deliver them with telling effect. The three minor parts in the cast were also well taken, and altoeether the "Naughty Wife" proved to be as fascinating as 1 "Naughty Wives" usually are. * In the opinion of the dramatic critic of the Chronicle this is ^ destined to be the most successful of the many successful farce I comedies associated with the Selwyn name.

Married people seem to be having all the innings at the Atlanta I these days. Last week wives wqre given a recipe for foiling 4he | professional vampire, and then last evening "The Naughty Wife" m showed the correct, formula for saving wives from the wiles of g a nhilanderer. ' ' I ' j The comedy is bright and entertai ling and was well enjoyed by the audience. There are many clever lines and the parts are well taken, though the constant repetition of the heroine's babyish, "Don't we, Hillery?" and "Do you Darry?' palls -a bit at times. The plot is neatly worked out to that happy ending, and the risque situations?for there are some if you haven't already guessed it?are cleverly put across. The managing husband who very skillfully chaperones his eloping wife, ringing m a sopnisticated widow to help in accomplishing his ends, adds much to the play by his suavity and resourcefulness throughout the three acts. , The part is taken by Gordon Eldrid, and that of the foil,' the A charming widow who knows men well enough to coin epigrams on their many foibles, is played by Gertrude Walters. The women of the audience showed plainly they were, listening for her next word, and the men doubtless were, too, but it never pays to give too much credit to a woman who can outwit a seasoned wooer. It is getting to be absolutely necessary in domestic tangles to have |an uncle, a ,dear, kindly bishop not adverse to his little J "f-fVdHv." steo in iust in time to smooth everything over in his- j innocent way. This time, we are inclined to praise this fad of j play-weights, for Henry Keen, who saves the day by his timely l arrival in full vestments, is just one of the best stage bishops who has appeared in some time, although he has very little to do or say. * 1 !
