As this learned individual in “Thé Married Woman,” Chester Batley Fernald's argumentative comedy, Norman Trevor puts in a great deal of time as a lecturer. He is always in deadly earnest, and so gives the note of sincerity to hie performance. But with three couples forever wrangling, this English play suggests nothing so much as a family row, and {t becomes more trying than i!lumi- nating. In the role of a knowing wife, Mar- garet Dale is keen and interesting, and Marsh Allen contributes welcome bits of humor as an easy-going hus- band. For his part, Mr. Trevor is excellent, but in making his bow as an actor-manager he has not been happy in his choice of a play. THis HAPPY HOME IS GONNA BE PCVICWS es (QONSID) .
