WEDNESDAY, Sept. 21st—“DON’T NEGLECT YOUR
WIFE.” Mabel Julienne Scott, who played the leading role in
“Behold My Wife,” also has the leading role in this drama of
domestic life. When the lover becomes the husband, should
his love change? Does marriage give a man the right to treat
his wife like a child? The action of the story takes place in
the aristocratic atmosphere of San Francisco and New York in
the days of ’69 and ’70. The story is just as applicable now aS
then. When the wife is neglected the “other man’s” devotion

While Whitewright isn’t ordinarily
slow to take up something new, being
a progressive town, we haven’t as yet
observed any member of her fair sex
