IN MASK AND WIG SHOW
"The Bridal Not,' Thirtieth An
nual Play, Possess "Zip"
and "Go"
NED BROWNING, JR., KNITS
Harrison Weds Hcilbron, the "Maid,"
But All Ends
Well
Never was there a moro p..tlent bridegroom
than the hero In "The Bridal Not," the open.
Ing performance of tho thirtieth annual pro
ductlon of the Mask and Wig Club, last night
at thc Forrest Theatre.
Never was a man moro t-orely tried. After
getting all "set" for Mt wedding, and having
been Instructed carefully by his best man
"aboe all things don't arguo with the minis
tcr, just agree to everything," to have a
half-witted maid passed oft as a bride Instead
of his lovd and beautiful blushing Mary
well. It Is a hard ordeal for any one ; but K.
C Harrison, tho bridegroom, went through
his paces In the part cheerfully and even
with h touch of amusement.
The bride eloped with a soldier and then.
Reelng her deserted husband at the railroad
station, deserted tho soldier and tried to re
turn to tho Jilted huRband. only to nnd. to
her horror, that he had unknowingly married
her mnld. Ned Browning, Jr., however. In
the person of a policeman with the adorable
name of Clarence, put all that aright by np
rearing on the scene nnd Insisting that his
wife behave herself. There was general Joy
when It was found that the maid was the
policeman's wife, and, save for a few more
changes of mind on the part of the bride at
me critical moment, the wedding to tho right
man finally took placo before a Justice ot the
peace and everything ended happily.
It was an excellent performance, excel
lently well given. S. M. Hellbron, who took
the part of the maid, fve a splendid Imita
tion of May Vokes, and S, M. Hlmch, as the
Janitor In the first act, was Billy Kent over
again. As tho head waiter. In the Becond act
he was quite equal to any first-class come
dian. His acting and Hellbron's were de
cidedly above tho average. Ned Browning,
Jr., made a very good Impression as the
mother of the bride In the first act. He was
forever knitting nnd trylnp the specimens
of his work on the inrlous long-suffering
ushers, fiances past and present, of his beau
tiful daughter Mary, and continually dropping
stitches.
The dancing was splendid. It always Is In
the Mask and Wig; Charlie Morgan takes
care of that. Tho muslo hart mnM, ,. ,.
It, for 'Charlie Gilpin was responsible for
that, as he haB been for most of the produc
tions slnco he Joined the club In his college
days.
The chorus that met with most applause
was that led by I.' L. Houley, who stalked
gracefully out, dressed as a member of the
emergency Aid and supported by a chorus
Including three base hospital nurses, three
Red Cross workers, three Liberty Loan girls
and three motor messengers. These did a
pony ballet. Then, the lights being lowered
effectively, each one turned her back, reveal
ing a small square kit box on which a Red
Cross was shown In electric lights, Tho
second time the backs were turned the au
dience was surprised to see, Instead ot the
red crosses, brilliantly lighted letters; "we
will get them." The dancing of the witches
and Jack-o'lanterns was particularly fine,
and the "old songs" Interpreted by various
couples In typical costumes were very
pretty.
As to tho bride, she was certainly a. dim
pled darling, and It's more than likely that
many a maiden present envied her lovely
pink chiffon negligee, and, as to her figure
In that laender sports suit, there was Just
the proper sllmness. She was decidedly coy
when she patted her lover's hand and held
her hands under her chin while she sang.
There was little It any of the amateur about
It all.
One of the most interesting sights of the
opening night, however, Is the audience.
There on tho front row sat Mrs, Ned Brown
Ing watching young Ned as he had his hys
terics, dropped his stitches and tried to pre
vent his darllnc child from being married
against her will. In the second row was
Charlie Gilpin listening and watching with
great Interest. In the third row, far to the
right, sat Frederick Meigs and his sister,
Mrs. Robert Coleman Drayton. Fred Melrs
waa one of the prettiest "girls" the Mask and
Wig ever had on the stage,
Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Miss Mary
Brown Warburton and Mr. Egerton Warbur
ton were together In the orchestra, and there
were McMlchaels. Hendricks, Wetherllls,
Brooks, Dories, Merrlcks, Mohrs, Fraxlers
and any number of others ot the old founders
ot the Mask and Wig Club, which gave Its
Initial performance in this city In a song-and-dance
comedy entitled "Lurllne" back Jn
1889.
Mrs. R. Ingersoll Sturgls was In one of
the boxes wearing a wonder frock of car.
dlnal red; Mrs. Warburton was in blue and
gold brocade; Mrs. Browing had a frock
of Alice blue velvet and tulle, and Miss War
burton was frocked In gray chiffon. Mrs.
George Lorlmer wore a gown of soft black
satin and tulle and Mrs. Drayton's dress was
black georgette crepe.

Hunting a Husband
By MARY DOUGLAS
(CopVTtoM)
CHAPTER XXVII
Through Another's Eyes
' THINK I have settled my problem. I love
I believe I can help him. I know I am strong.
I know that he depends on me. Perhaps our
marriage can right all that, If I am with him
when he needs mc If I can be strong enough
for two. And If I give him up? It may ruin
him. He will never havo the same reliance
again.
I told It all to mother this morning.
"I knew It. Sara," she said. "I was only
waiting for the time when you would know
James Merle drank." So that accounts for
mother's anxious looks.
At leant I am glad that the ecstatic happi
ness of those first days was not destroyed.
Those shall always be like starlight In the
darkness to me.
But before I told Jim of my decision I '
going to see Martha Dunstnn. Martha Is
older than I thirty. And she, against the
warnings of her family and friends, had
married a drinker. A splendid, hopeful fel
low, but a man whose Inheritance was too
strong for his will. A man who drank.
Gradually Martha had slipped away from
her old circle of friends, Wo only met
casually and seldom.
I was not going In the eplrlt of prying Into
her secrets, but to a woman who knew.
These last few weeks have made me realize
that I am no longer a girl, but a woman.
This problem has taken mo out of myself.
Sara Lane Is no longer the center of her
own universe. For she has learned that
thero are finer things than caring for one's
own happiness.
Martha Uunston lived at the Bouth end of
town. Her house had that feeble pretense of
gentility. Yet the ribs of poverty peered
through. I climbed the steps of the porch,
which was sorely In need of paint, and almost
fell Into the baby In her go-cart. Such a
wan, old-faced baby, with pale blue eyes and
a wizened expression.
Martha met me at the door. Her look had
something of the baby's In It. Old before her
time, but still putting a bold front on her
trouble.
Somehow I found myself telling this woman
everything. For I knew she had been through
It ail. She had loved, too. She was to be
strong enough for two t
"Sara," she said, when I was through, "I
am going to speak to you as I have not
spoken to any one In all these years. I want
to spare you. I want you to see exactly Into
what you are going."
She told mo of her hope for her husband
when they were married How at first she
could hold him. Then habit, stronger than
her love, caught him araln
"It was not that, Sara, I could have stood
that ! But the children. My little sickly chil
dren who were not ready to face life with
their weak bodies. Sara." she ended, "for
your children's sake, do not do It !"
I left Martha. Stumbling down the steps
I came to little Martha, five. Martha, whose
baby face and tiny body held none of the Jov
of childhood. She did not answer when I
spoke to her She looked at me out of sad,
world-weary eyes. And she Is fio!
I have more than myself to think of. Moro
than Jim.
The problem Is not settled. It looms larger
than ever. But I seem to know what I
should do.
