Aside from the sympathetic tears that It call* forth, the play contains a wealth of rich humor and good comedy, with amusing character sketches which por tray the many sides of human nature. Foremost among the players Is Miss Grace Hopkins, who essays the role of the wronged wife. Her conscientious work and clever conception of the dif ficult role at once stamps her an nrtlst of merit. The balance of the company Is decidedly up to the mark and the performance tn Its entirety Is pleasing. The scenic equipment la decidedly pretentious and shows that Messrs. Spencer and Aborn have spared neither money nor pains tn providing the play with a rich scenic setting. “A Wife’s Secret” should play to the capacity of the Btjou for the entire en gagement, as the performance Is one that will interest and please all classes of theatergoers.
