This very delightful comedy created a big furore in New | York a few seasons ago, making | Broadway ring with the roa of lavghter by its bright lines and ex- crutiatingly funny complications. The story of “The Girl in the Taxi Is that of several sets of gayv men, young and old, who like a frivol in the vicinity of the all-night restau ants of Broadway and have dash escapades with fascinating actresses. The character of “Mignon’—wife of a prominent military man. affords fine opportunity for Miss Callawa “Mignon” takes occasion once a yeur when her husband, to whom she is really much attached. leaves her for the annual stite militia encampment ! and funs off to New York seekine harmless diversion. On the eventfil occasion of which the play tells she i urexpectedly discovered and there atises a series of complications which involve her in most laughable pte- dicaments. As “Mignon” attempts to squeeze through her tight place she succeeds in provoking gore laugh- able situations. As she is“known by three names other than her real one and she tries to steer a safe ccurse out of her difficulties the audi- ence looks on and enjoys 1t. The big blow-out comes and finally when the «ngled mess is straightened out the ence appreciates “*Mignon's’ cleverne: “The Three Twins” will be pre- sentted this evening and the final} matinee of the week will be played on | Faturday afternoon. The bright comedy in which this abounds thoroughly enjoyed and the players are more fully appreciated as a re- sult of this production. See one of the three remaining performances. “OUR NEW MINISTER” ‘ NEW ENGLAND PLAY | al | It would be a difficult proposition to name a play that would cause more discussion than “The Divorce Ques- tion” has in Hartford this week, for following the first presentation of William Anthony McGuire’s play of domestic relations at Poli's Hartford lhcatcr on Monday, Hartford began discussing the play that treated such an important question in such a broad | and opcn way. The attendance at each performance since has practically been capacity and the production has been most enthusiastically received. The tensity of the story and thc very ex- | cellent manner in which it has been presented by the Players have com- | bined in making it, in many respects, one if the most talked about plays of the days. Monday afternoon the Players will optn a week's engagement in ur New Minister,” the New England com- edy by Denman Thompson which has proven a very sful play with road companie: now presented for the first time in stock. *“Our New Minister,” is intended to advance a broader view of religion and the than _the average thorough churchgoer of the New Ingland smah town would tolerate a quarter of a century or less ago. It is clean, not an objectionable line; and it is amus- ing and this last is what the theuater- loving public desires Although' yesterday was the seml- monthly payday for the policemen no cheeks were forthcoming the till is empty.
