ROYAL SHOWS “THE WISE WIFE”
A desperate wife in the disguise of a flapper is many times more dangerous as a social factor than an ultramodern advocate of short skirts and rolled stockings. Phyllis Haver, playing the title role in “The Wise- Wife,” proves this conclusively. The wife, in “The Wise Wife,” which is now at the Royal Theatre, Kingsland, faces the perplexing problem of holding her husband’s love against the bewitching and tantalising wiles of a modern flapper. As the neglected wife, Phyllis changes her tactics drastically. Shortening her skirts and bobbing her hair, she goes the flapper two better every time. In this way she shows her husband, played by Tom Moore, just what a fool he is, and their marital life becomes once more harmonious. Jacqueline Logan portrays the paf-t of the flapper. “The Cossacks,” a powerful drama of life among the hard-fighting Cossack People, is the second feature. John Gilbert and Renee Adoree are the stars.
