HIS MAJESTY'S.
“WHO’S THE LADY?”
In the amusing comedy “Who’s, the Lady?” the real Madame Tricointe, v'siting the Minister for Justice to seek promotion for her husband, is mistaken by him for a polisher of brass. He certainly would never at that time have believed that she was Madame Tricointe, seeing that he had practically been only just introduced, and by Tricointe in his own house, to one whom he describes to his private secretary as the one woman in the world for him. He has enjoyed the hospitality of the supposed Madame Tricointe, snuffed candles with her in company to such effect that Tricointe is promoted in order that the Minister may have opportunities by her closer vicinity to advance further in his “wife’s” good graces. ’ Nothing much funnier can be imagined than the worthy Tricointe conscientiously visitthe Minister to make a clear breast of the untruthful introduction, and how every time he commences his story he receives further promotion, or his collapse when he discovers his wife in apparently a most compromising position. The play begins and ends in a whirlwind of hilarity. “Who’s the Lady?” will be presented by the popular “Glad Eye” Company, including Ethel Dane, Tom Shelford, Henry J. Ford, Frank Bradley, Alice Hamilton, Sinna St. Clair, Clarice Hardwicke, Elwyn Harvey, and all the other members of the organisation. The box plan will open at Wildman and Arey’s on Thursday. “Who’s the Lady?” will be played for six nights,: and on Monday, the 31st, .the long-promised production of “The Chaperon” will be given.
