With Charles Wyngate, Tom Maguire and Halbert Brown, giving the first presentation of a one act play, called “The Woman Intervenes” by J. Hartley Manners. The story tells of the infatuation of a young bachelor for the wife of an army officer and his visits to her home on the plea of consoling her for the apparent neglect of her husband. “The Woman,” a one-time charmer of the bachelor, learns of his visits, interferes at the critical moment and offers a made-to-order explanation. The play is very interesting, with situations cleverly introduced can carried out to a nicety. The action is rapid and complete. There is a little drawing power to the name here and, if the price is not too high, will be good in all the big cities. A splendid feature is the manner in which Miss Roberts presents the sketch. She is a very clever actress and is given admirable support. Twenty-two minutes, full stage.
