CoIumbin-.'The Wrong Mr.. Wright"
.'The Wrong Mr.. Wright was seen for
the second time during a year at the CO.
lumbia last evening. with Roland Reed in
the title role Although Mr.. Reed labored
under the disadvantage of playing against
strong attractions at other houses, and
that in Christmas week. there was good
audience present and much applause. The
vehicle offered is a clever light comedy
and warranted to Danish the most con-
firmed case of the blues. 1t is bright.
witty and entertaining from beginning to
end, and the acting of the producing COM
pany is excellent.
In the disguised millionaire Mr. Reed
has one of the best roles of his life, and
is fully equal to 1t. Isadore Rush. as the
charming female detective has an oppor-
tunty to do some very clever work and
to wear several captivating and artistic
gowns Her coon" songs in the second
act were received with great favor. The
dancing of Alethea Luce. who also ap-
peared as Tillie Bird, made another decid-
ed hit, while her acting is even more clev-
er than her speciality. Mabel Florence. as
Julia Bonds, the heiress disguised as 4
maid. looks demure and pretty. and fur
nishes some unusually bright bits, while
Mrs. Mary Myers plays the conventional
old maid with considerable originality.
Charles Able. as Fred Bonds. and Charles
Lothian, as Lieut.. Crosby, are attractive
youthful heroes. and Sheridan Tupper, as
the old bachelor. does some amusing low
comedy work. Charles Wyngate is very
entertaining in the part OF degenerate
member of the English nobility. and the
few lines given the detective are well
spoken by l.. p Hicks. The entire produc-
tion is too well known for its worth TO
require more extended mention. A better
/ farce better acted by a better company
has never been seen in this city The great
