In a long review of "The two Mr Wefcherbys " to bo produced by the abova Oomniny nexi Thursday, the London Daily News says: —For this is t';o id«al of main' happiness, to bring the ladies submissively to hee!, and it-' is the essence of air Hankin's comedy to show how, evon with the most rob si- 1 lious wive-', it inevitably happens —the j economic dependence of womin, thej stronger sax and the rest of it.
