"THE SILVER FOX."

Brilliantly cast in beautiful aettingg, and with just that touch of daring eo characteristic of Cosmo Hamilton, "lW Silver Fox" was given an enthuiiaßtio reception ot tho Grand Opera House last evening. The author haa struck a new note iu that ho hag introduced what proven to be a flve-»ided plot, which abound* in embarrassing (situations and, in humour. Quilter, an easy .going' popu* lar iiovclbt, finds nothing suspicious j n . the friendship of hig wife with his chum. In fact, he welcomes it, for it give* him rapre time to upend on his work. Then the'friend digcovcm what appears to be a questionable incident in which the wife is entangled. In a mistaken »pirit of friendship, he tells Quilter, and divorce proceedings follow. Then the humour )n the play begins to show up. The novelist marries again, this time to a vivacious flapper, who rules him with a rod of iron. The former, wife visits them, and from that time the more or less serious play develops into pure comedy. Lawrence Grossmith fits' .to perfection the part of Quilter, and Miss Diana Wilson h excellent tia liig first wife. The part of Major Stanley, tho bosom chum, is taken very capably by Ashton Jtvrry, and Mil 8 Dorot.hy So:icombiv as the flapper w.ife, and Paul Pliiuke(,t as tho other pe-'son in the incident, which lod to divorce arc exceedingly well placed. ' Tho last performance of. "The Silver. Fox" is announced for Jhis evening.
