“OUR LITTLE WIFE.” .
Sclwyn & Co. will give the first
stage breaeatation of Avery Hop-
wood'a newest taroe comedy “Our Lit-V
tie Wife" at the Regent theatre on Sat-
urday, September 30th, with Miss Mar-V
garet lllington playing the principal
role. This will be the first time that
this famous dramatic star has enacted
a light comedy role since her delight-
ful interpretation of the heroine of
“Mrs. befingwell's Boots"‘a number
of season’s ago. HoweverkMiss iliing-
ton’s many characterizations of hero-
ines ill such plays as "The Lie" “Kind-
ling” and “The Thief" have certainly
earned for her the right to make the
leap from motion to comedy, especial-
ly since she is one of the most deltcr
ous comedy interpreter: of all our
present day stars. The role of "Dodo‘
in "Our Little Wife" which will be
play-ed by Miss lllington is one that
will give her every opportunity to ex-
. ercise her talenls. Dodo is a pretty
nd frivolous little married woman
who loves to carry on flirtatious with

the men admirers who trailed round
\ after her before her marriage. Her
husband hing very jealous ohje cts to
l ' - these little affairs and finally decides
on the Triangle programme, that ought that he must find. out just how harm-
fairly to lif‘. spectators from their less they are.’ So he induces Bobo

turns out as planned up 0 the minute
that Dodo and Echo sit down to Mid-

night Supper, but at that instant the
famous Hopwood complications and
tangles begin to pile on each other and
as a result the playwright has con?
structed a funplay which is undoubted-

ly destined to be even a bigger hit than
his famous "Fair and Warner" oi lut-

scene. Selwyn A 00., have surround-

cast including C. Aubrey Smith, Walt-i

acts and the staging has been done

will go direct from this city to a
