Monroe Berdine who formerly resided here and who married the daughter of M. Wolfson, of the Star Clothing company, appeared as an actor in New Brunswick last night. He took the part of the undertaker in the production of "The Mayor of Laughland" at the local opera house. He is as big as ever, and has changed little. It was said among his friends that his wife was in the chorus, but this is untrue, as the marital affairs of the young couple did not turn out happily, and they have separated.
