Man Who Married a Dumb Wife 
A Comedy in Two Acts

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The comedy of The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife was written, or at least begun, merely to entertain the members of the So ciety of Rabelaisian Studies at one of their meetings. But it succeeded so Well that it was at once taken up by a regular theatre, the porte-saint-martin, in the spring of 1912, and again at the Theatre de la Renaissance in the autumn.
