GREAT PLAY AT EMPRESS
TO BE REPEATED TONIGHT
In “Wives of Men,” as played by
Florence Reed last night at the Em- $
press, we have a great play; a play :•
that is remarkable, and entirely dif- •:
ferent from the usual run. It is a play
that would be impossible without the .j
marvelous art of this great emotional' ••
actress. But there is only one Flor- •;
ence Reed, and her interpretation of
the role of Lucile left nothing to be
desired. Special mention should also
be made of Frank Mills, as well as of
“Jimmy” and “Grace.” This may well
be termed an all-star cast, wherein
each characterization is perfect.
The story is of unusual strength. It
fascinates and charms, and keeps ,us
wondering to the very end. This is
/truly a “big” picture in every sense—
in plot and direction, in the human
ness of its people, and most of all in
the wonderful art of its enactment.
Repeating tonight for the last time.
Tomorrow, a clever little comedy
drama, presents Emily Wehlen in “A
Favor to a Friend,” wherein a double
mix-up in mistaken identity leads to
most amazing and amusing results. *»'
