John Gilbert at the Museum in Wives as They Were and Maids as They Are
John Gilbert performed at the World's Museum Friday in Mrs Inchbald's five act comedy for the first time in years. He drew praise for dignity and warmth as Sir William Doriston but was less convincing in the harsher role of Doriston. Miss Clarke shone as Dorilion, supported by Miss Blanche Thompson, while other cast members were noted as lacking. The piece runs two performances today with Gilbert later starring in The Road to Ruin and other works next week. The World’s Museum reports 47,000 visitors this week with new animal arrivals and ongoing stage entertainments drawing crowds.
