“A Wife's Secret."
“A Wife's Secret,” thlB week's offer-
nc at the Bijou, Is all that was claimed
or It In advance, and It Is proving to
e one of the best dramatic offerings
rf many seasons at the Bijou. Aside
rom the sympathetic tears that It calls
orth, the play contains a wealth of
Jch humor and good comedy, with
musing character sketches which por-
ray the many sides of human nature.
Foremost among the players Is Miss
trace Hopkins, who essays the role of
he wronged wife. Her conscientious
fork and clever conception of the dlt-
Icult role at once stamps her an artist
if merit. The balance of the company
s decidedly up to the mark and the
lerformance In It* entirety Is pleasing.
The scenic equipment Is decidedly
iretentlous and shows that Messrs,
ipencer and Aborn have spared neither
noney nor pains In providing the play
Vtth a rich scenic setting.
"A Wife's Secret should play to the
apaetty of the Bijou for .the entire en-
ragement, as the performance Is one
