“The Other Wife. ”
Robert Bevington was a man of politi
cal and social influence in the community 1
of which he lived; he was married and ;
had a daughter whom he worshipped. By
profession he was a lawyer one of the 1
most famous in all the State. Eighteen
years before Robert Bevington had mar
ried an unknown woman, a denizen of
the underworld, whose real character he
did not know and when the woman
showed her true colors he had left her.
Soon after this Bevington had read of the ;
death of a strange woman whom he iden- I
titled as his dead wife. Then followed his !
rise to fame and fortune. But with him
day and night, always the skeleton in [
the closet, was the memory of his youth
ful folly; the thought that some day the
woman may come back, and then she did.
On the eve of his being offered the nom
ination for governor. What happened
then, what this man did to free himself
makes “The Other Wife.” which is to be |
presented by the Rlark Urban Company I
at Colonial theatre Wednesday, Aug. 24. i

“Civilian Clothes.”
In “Civilian Clothes,” the play which
the Klark-Urban Company will present
at Colonial theatre, Monday, Aug. 22nd,
is a bill entirely different from all other
plays in their offerings for the coming
; season, and is particularly appropriate to
; the present times.
In this play the author, Thompson Bu
I chanan, has developed an excellent idea,
i fresh, broad in scope and truly dramatic.
| The three acts are concerned with the
home coming of a soldier of the Ameri
can Expeditionary forces, but a novel
I treatment makes them a much more en
I joyable means of filling in the hours till
bedtime than most plays of that type
which peace has released from the front
of the footlights. Mr. Buchanan must
have heard some elderly gossips discuss
ing the marriage of a girl to a man whom
she had met in the army, and caught the
remark: “But just wait till she sees him
with his military makeup off 1” He has
based his play on that, taking the idea ol
the glamour radiated by a military uni
form and working it backwards.
“Civilian Clothes” has had a most suc
cessful run in New York City and is now
being presented with equal success it
other large theatrical centers.

| THE FAIRY
A favorite story of childhood is that of the fairy who
offers someone to grant him any wish that he may make.
The nearest approach to a fairy in these prosaic times is a
savings account. Do you want to buy books, to get some
new furniture, to build a house, to educate your children,
to get married, to travel, or to satisfy some other com
mendable want? HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT WITH
LS and you will be able to be your own good fairy and
not be compelled to ask favors of another.
