NEW LEADING WOMAN
FOR WALKER COMPANY.
Beatrice Maude, who has been with the
Stuart Walker Company at the Murat In
previous seasons, will make her first ap
pearance this season Monday night in
Somerset Maugham's comedy, “Too
Many Husbands.”
In “Too Many Husbands,” Mr. Maug
ham has taken as the ground work for
his play the not unusual situation of a
soldier who has been reported killed
in action, returning home to find that
his wife has married his beat friend.
It seems that Bill was held prisoner
in an enemy camp and naturally when
Victoria had mourned the conventional
length of time for her lost spouse, she
was easily persuaded to marry Freddie,
the sympathetic friend.
The consternation of Freddie and Vic
toria at the news of the return of Bill
is pitiable.
Never were two such innocents caught
in such a guilty plight.
Victoria tells Freddie that he must
break the news genTly to Bill, but Fred
die balks at the idea.
After putting "him off for th better
part of two acts the truth finally dawns
upon Bill. Instead of raising thunder
Bill takes the news very calmly. *
Secretly he seems rather glad that he
la free.
Victoria, of course, will be played by
Beatrice Maude, McKay Morris wlil ap
pear as Bill, the first husband, who re
turns to find that he is the second.
Stuart Walker plays the laughable role
of the stupid Freddie.
Others of the Stuart Walker company
in "Too Many Husbands” include Eli*
abeth Patterscn, John Wray, Julia Da
vis McMahon, Lael Davis, George Som
nes. Judith Lawry and Grace Kieehle.
