Wife, The (1887), a play by David
Belasco and Henry C.
de Mille. [
Lyceum Theatre, 239 perf.] Helen Truman ( Georgia
Cayvan) loves Robert Gray ( Henry
Miller) but rejects him when she learns he has jilted Lucile Ferrant ( Grace Henderson). On the rebound, she marries John Rutherford ( Herbert
Kelcey), who is in despair when he discovers the truth. However, he resolves to win her love and does. The
Herald called it “a good play of American life, serious in its purpose, yet with its emotional scenes relieved by pleasant comedy . . . well written and quick in action, the interest never being allowed to flag.” Obviously influenced by Bronson
Howard's
The Banker's Daughter, the play was written to order to accommodate Belasco's Lyceum ensemble and marked the first in a series of successful collaborations by Belasco and de Mille.
