CoIu mhia-"His Little Dodge" /"

| At the Columbia last night was presented
| for the first time on dn American stage
| the three-act comedy, His Little Dodge
| from the French of Feydedu and ii ennequin.
| by Justin Hunriey Mccarthy. 1t has been
running for some time at the Royalty
Theater, London, and after last nights
presentation 1t is easy to prophesy CON
finued prosperity in England and long
run for IL in this country. when E. Z. Rice,
who owns the piece, places it for per-
mauency ON the American stage next
season. The enterprisiBg management Of
the Columbia places its patrons under es-
pecial Obligations by thus giving thea
FIRST opportunity to see the cosmopolitan
successes.
The dodge is decidedly clever, ard
even II credit were not given its source
Oh the program, the FreEchiness OF ii
would have beamed through every line
and situation. The piece would better
have remained in its French atmosphere,
for only those who breathe its ozone be-
come ainorous Hobbs and Pollaby Petlows
However, no depreciation in the face of
30 much fun. .Ihe audience roared all
the way through.
The story is simple A oonfiding wife

in which he recorded his actual engage
n.eutS " hen lie told his wife he had others.
Her confidence i'll her first husband shaken,
she Is entirely suspicious of the second
And not unjustifiably so, though nothing
suggests it but her humorous suspicion.
He keeps the secret or MS absences from
her successfully by hypnotizing her. But
lie does this once too often She aw akens
and overhedrs her husband trying to pacify
an offended husband. But her husband
puts her under the spell once more and
when she is reused tells her it was Il
dream and he is on velvet again, when
the outraged husband turns up. Thus
complications crowd upon each others
heels and before the end pile iii u merry
confusion on the heads OF the six people
who act the farce.
Katherine Grey was uncOnmonly excel
lent as the shrewish, suspicious wife She
acted with naturaluess and conviction. A
s. LIpinan did well with the husband, who
feb a victim To his own dodge Godfrey
Stein did his best work OF the summer as
a gardener Will Boag was entertainingly
volcanic as the outrag ged husband and Miss
Berg played a maid well. The hit OF the
piece was, however, the fearful old rome,
Hobbs, played by Mr.. Barrows. His fun
was constant, as natural as its farcical
character permitted, and welcome to the
audience as could be His Sobs that ended
in blowing his nose were a great hit.

stomach ?' it would be safe on general
principles to answer Eyes" But, il you
are sure OF it that is, II you ever feel any
distress after eating or any pains of what
ever description in the reg ION OF the stom-
ach, you have got something more than
an ordinary stomach; in other words, you
have got diseased stomach. The stom-
ach is powerful muscle, and the proper
remedy for tired muscle is rest. Try the
