  MISS IRIS HOEY

  Whose delightful acting in the part of Mrs. Calthorpe, whether as widow or parlour-maid, makes the success of the play

  
  

  BY "JINGLE."

  
  

  This is an entirely pleasant

  play, and as an agreeable

  sedative for war anxieties

  has much to recommend it. It is

  true that on eof the ladies makes

  a brave show of trying to appear as

  an unpleasant person ; but she seems

  to realise from the start that she

  has only been spatchcocked into

  the play by way of making a con-

  trast and she therefore makes her

  upleasantness as mild as possible.

  The story is one that is usually 

  the basis of comic opera or a musi-

  cal play, and, therefore, in the

  form of a three-act comedy it

  requires very deft spacing out.

  But Mr. Douglas Murray is a master

  of this gentle art, and his story

  is pieced together so neatly that

  the seams are never obvious to

  the eye.

  We begin with a young and

  charming  widow ; and after

  that, you will admit, all things are

  possible. An old gentleman from 

  Canada, one of those frightfully

  rich people from the great North-

  West, came back to have a look at

  the old country of his youth, and

  fell desperately in love with Mrs.

  dCalthorpe. Considering that the

  lady in question is represented by

  Miss Iris Hoey, nobody will blame

  him. But Mrs. Calthorpe had no

  ambition to become an old man's

  darling, in spite of the fact that she

  stood a fair chance of becoming a 

  widow for the second time very soon

  with money to burn. There was,

  therefore, nothing doing. But the

  old gentleman did not apparently

  like the idea of a peach like Mrs.

  Calthorpe going out of the family ;

  so he went back home and made

  a will to the effect that his nephew,

  Fergus Wimbush, should inherit

  all this tremendous wealth, pro-

  vided the young man went to 

  England, found Mrs. Calthorpe,

  and married here.
