"My Lady Friends" crept quietly into town last Wednesday night-and proved to be hlgh- . ly entertaining. The new piece, with its moderately conventional and SaBtwawafj plot, is with- out doubt intended as a warning for old- fashioned wives who do not know that the best and only way to keep a husband Is to keep him broke. ■' The story revolves about one Jlmrnie Smith who baa made a. fortune selling bibles and whose chief occupation In life is to spread' sunshine by throwing his money around. Then there is his wife, one of those earing souls, whose chief enjoyment is extracting a whole dinner from a soup bone. * It la not until she has learned the bit- ter lessons of two acts .and a half that Mrs. Jlmrnie takes the hint and begins squandering. She handles money like a baby would a new toy. buying diamonds and other luxuries and even going so far as to take. a $100,000 place on Long Island. And so on and so on, an amusing piece from beginning to end, made more so by the presence of none other than Clifton Crawford, who, in the role of the spend- thrift husband, injects contagious merri- ment in every scene. He Is ably assisted by .Theresa Maxwell and a chubby per- sonage named June 'Walker. GOVT SUES GENERAL FILM .
