AT THE TKEATERS.
CoIumbia-"A Stranger In strange
Innd

Land.''
The weather bureau WAS not kind yes
terday in its treatment of "A Stranger in
IL Strange Land IL lay in wait for him
until he had got out of Canada and then
it manufactured a snowstorm that block
ed all the railways in Northern Pennsyi-
vania and prevented his arrival in Wash
iuGton until so late that the hour of 3
had struck before the presenting com
pany could begin introducing him To "a
fairly large audience assembled at the
Columbia Theater
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Stranger is an Indian and that Indians
are generally supposed TO be stoical, he
proves To be "a most amusing parsonage.
The lines spoken by himself and his
friends nearly all witty while the sto-
ry in which he is involved differs from
that of the average farce largely in the
truth that the principal character does
not suffer in providing entertainment for
those who have come to watch him. The
complications In which he is mixed and
the episodes that grow out of them are
so iauehable that one cannot find il in his
heart 10 object To the few faults the tale
contains.
ms ilIot is an intresting one. Frederick
Thorndyke. young Engishman who is
bad that in the plays first act he
hints at having once danced the can
cam, has been banished To America by
his guardian in order that he may have
chance to reform. With due anxiety
to impress he writes from the New World
that he has purchased a cattle ranch in
Buffalo-"across the river from Omaha
and his meddling uncle introduces for
the sake Of realism, an Indian who has
supposedly saved the prodigal's life
When Thorndyke comes home without Il
specimen OF the noble red man matters
become so sntanci@d that he is forced To
disguise one the chap who is to mar
ry his sister. Al the same time the uncle
prOcures a genuine savage from a travel
ing ,Iuack and "a detective who has been
sent To search for the vanished lover
makes up a trio by assuming the apparel
Of the tribe. Naturally, everyone takes
each red man for the other. all of the
savages do queer things, the uncle is ar
rested for murder, the nephew falls in
love with young American girl and ev
eryone confesscs to everything as the
curtain goes down.
This amusing story is ceverly enacted
by a number Of hitherto unknown, but
nevertheless able people. George W. Les
lie is the reprobate; Robert Fischer is the
uncle; Thomas kierns is the devoted
! lover; Harrison Armstrong is the quack;
| William Ranous is the Indian: IL Gittus
Lonsdale is the detective: Charles W.
Swain is a butler: Agnes Proctor is the
guardian: Maude White is the sister and
Lulu Klein is the American girl. All-or
nearly all-act cleverly. The prcsenta-
ton is adequately staged and the Indi-
ans wear several picturesque costumes.

the conventional melodramatic order. with
the villain appearing as the only real gen.

creditably acted by cast which includes

Wilson Barretts four-act religious dra-
ma, The Sign OF the Cross drew a

scenery are as sumptuous aud carefully
chosen as they were at the first produc-
ton. and the whole drama is marked by
extreme picturesqueness throughout. As
for the acting it is all so good that thc
critic can hardly commend one above an
other. The company plays We'll together
