EVERYBODY'S

“THE WIFE'S RELATIONS" The Everybody's Theatre will present this evening- another winner in “The Wife’s Relations/' a hilarious comedy of the complications of married life. The plot revolves around a young inventor and his marriage to a beautiful heiress, who has run away from home and becomes a lift operator in order to avoid a union with a man who is distasteful to her. In the action are introduced a crosseyed cook, a penniless actor, an unknown author, and an artist of uncertain merit. They all struggle along together on the estate of the heroine’s former sweetheart. The wife’s parents visit their son-in-law and are received in great style by the versatile quartet, who play chauffeur, lady’s maid, footman, butler and cook. They are making a strong impression when the former lover returns and then the fun begins. Shirley Mason gives an excellent nnrtra.val of a wav-

portrayal oi a wayward girl, who al- & ways gets her own I way. Gaston Glass B makes an ideal B husband and strugP gling inventor. Ben r Turpin holds the P centre of the stage with his antics and A r t h u r Rankin |s keeps the audience i|: in good humour p with his imperson- » ations as a maid. mr* I-»«=>n ii t i f nl
