EMPIRE THEATRE, SALEM 
“Seven Days,’ one of the greatest 
comedy successes of the decade has 
been selected by the Empire Stock 
Co. for presentation at the Empire 
Theatre, Salem, all next week. ‘T'he 
play is based on Mary Roberts Rhine- 
hart’s “best seller,” “When a Man

can hardly be told without a chuckle. 
It is the story of Jimmie, known as

divorce from him on the ground of 
“psychic cruelty,” because he is grow- 
ing fat. To lighten his lonliness he 
invites a house party to come and 
play bridge. His aunt Selina, who 
does not know of his divorce wires 
that she is about to visit him. The 
Japanese valet falls ill with a rash 
that looks like smallpox and when he 
is taken away in the ambulance, Jim- 
my’s divorced wife rushes in to find 
if anything has happened to him. A 
burglar has entered the place and is 
hiding in the chimney and a police- 
man has chased him into the house. 
Aunt Selina arrives just as the one 
unmarried girl has been persuaded to 
act as Jimmie’s wife. 
When the situation is thus suffi- 
ciently mixed, quarantine is announc- 
ed as the climax of the first act. The 
next two acts follow the develop- 
ments of the week in isolation with 
the house party stranded on the 
desert’ island of a cookless kitchen 
and a telephoneless roof. Patent 
medicine, scriptualism, women — suf- 
frage and a number of other things 
are included in the satire of the mer- 
ry lines, and the action does not lag 
a moment from the first minute to 
the final curtain.
