Karch 23, 1928 WILMETTE LIFE . At the North Shore Theaters · Karl Way Is Given L· Opportunity to Act IDe· 0 · N ews ···n 'The Other w.·,e~ . . .___________ Because it gives Karl Way a chance to do some real acting in addition to his customary excellent directing, "The Other Wife," the current bill at the New Evanston, should be appreciated by North Shore drama fans. The plot is almost wholly fortuitous and the only character of outstanding importance is the attorney, Robert Bevington, who is depicted by Way. Bevington got mixed up in his youth with an adventuress and married her. She deserted him and he left the scenes he had known to start a new life, thinking that she was dead. · He married and lived happily ever aft~-_,;until}, on his eighteenth wedding anniversary, she turns up to demaitd her part of the riches he has acquired. She is killed-Bevington believes by the shot he fires-and her son-by hilt\.' Bevington· believes-appears as the sweetheart of the · attorney's daughter. A poor w·r etch of the underworld is eta ttteetaoi etaio etaoi etao e taoeotab suspeced of the murder and the police weave a web around him that is almost sure to send him to the chair. Bevington almost a wreck from the mental str~in he has been under, determines to fight for the wretch's life. The matter is satisfactorily cleared up before the final curtain as it could not have been cleared up in real life-life just "ain't that way." Margaret Fuller, cast in a part much too old for her, does some very good acfiug, despite the handi~p. as the attorney's wife. Rita Zane, the ~augh ter. is much better than she has ever been. Robert Lowes, who has replaced Charles George as the company's leading man (for which thanks .are hereby offered), does a fine job in the part of Richard Bender, the son of the murdered adventuress. George Pembroke, the 'stage mal}ager who always does good work tn anv 'part he takes, does justice to the part of the suspect. The minor characters are played by Robert Ward, who is worthy of leading parts and should have them; Ann Dere, one of the most talented members of the company Bert S~r~ a ~~omu w~ ts . a worthy addition to the players ; Lew Welsh, the inimitable charact.er rna~ : Beatrice Leiblee, whose work ts ~rrauc but sometimes rather good, as m the present play ; Robert White, who plays well the parts he is suited to at all, and Marie Fischer, another newcomer. run of "The Silver Cord" at the Studebaker and the opening of four weeks of opera in English, to be presented ...l by the American Opera Co.

Milton Sills is going to convince us pr~tty soon that he's a· "he-man." This makes how many of the "he-man" type? And all good. (You note that I dare mention "The Big City" without further comment). "Four Sons" not made its appearance in the Chicago district. But if you were moved by the intensitv of Marv Carr's "Over the Hill" or have held a royal place in your memory for Belle Bennett's "Sella Dallas," ~·ou will-with me-be among those in the front row when Margaret Mann arri\res in town as Grandma Beanie in this film.
