Queen's Theatre to-day.

Or you are the wife, and friend husband needs an extra push to get him to ask for that raise or to go after that other job, take him by the hand and take him to see how one wife took the bull by the horns and made her husband a "success" much against his will.

It's all in fun, of course, but It nakes one of the most delightful comedies of the season. Good old Charlle. Intent upon minding his own business, and intent upon Jetting glory and power fall to those who want is, is perfectly satisfied with his little job as "birds-and-bees" editor of a news- paper. He likes the birds and the bees and he loves the outdoors.
