After “Vivian's Papas" {t 1s reassuring to be told by Milton Royle that there is not a suggestion of vulgarity nor an objectionable line in his farce, ‘My Wife's Husbands,"’ which will reopen the Madison Square Theatre on Monday night. Doubtless Mr. Royle feels it incumbent upon him to guarantee his product as pure and harmless, since the lady in the case is the heroine of four husbands, and, whil on her honeymoon with the last of these, meets hig three predecessors. ‘This ts all very enterprising on the part of the dash- ing divorcee, and {t is extremely gratifying to reflect—if Mr. Royle's professional word is to be trusted-that we will not be called upon to blush for her or any of her husbands. Mr, Royle will see that Husband No, 4 Wehaves himself and Gelena Fetter Royle, as the matrimontal expert, will try to keep the other three from disgracing the noble dramatic art.

A week from to-night at the American ‘Theatre will show us “The Evil Men Do." Theodore Kremer has thrown his melodramatic light upon the dark sub- Jest, and there will be incidental music by Gertrude Haynes's Choir Celestial. A ohoir is needed, because the big scene is in a ochuroh, where an embittered ‘Woman tears the oassook from the supposed reotor and reveals to the astonisnéd oungregation a brand of rime which has been burned on his breast by natives of India.” The villain, before this exprae, does a lot ¢ evil to an innocent woman wth @ ° . . ‘The Metropolia Theatre will on Monday night take up the good work along this ine, with the ominous mmexnia, fax cures, acts, “Bowere of Men." It you go to the Weet Hn Theatre to~wight you may see Joo Weber and Lew Fields, wearing glossy silk hats and Giemonds big as hickory nuts, stationed in the lobby, serenely harking to the merry planking of dollars in the box-office and watohing people try to squeeze in front of one another in thelr eager effort to spend money.
