"THE CIRCUS GIRL
An Excellent Performance of the
Musical Piece at the Columbia.


The Duff Musical Comedy Company en-
tered upon its last presentation at the
Columbia Theatre last night when THE
Circus Girl was given before an audience
that was not at all commensurate with
the merits Of the performance, which was
the best the organization has offered dur
ing its local engagement. The company
was eXcellently cast, especially Grace Bel
mont, who as La Favorita the circus
girl. evidenced an ability as an actress
and vocalist that was surprisingly good.
The performance also served to intro
duce Hans Roberts. a local player, whose
appearances in this city heretofore have
principally been confined to straight com
edy. In The Circus Girl Mr.. Roberts
iuterprets the role of the American bar
tender, Biggs, and extracts great deal
of humor from the lines. His song, The
Barman, Is well rendered and last night
came in for number Of encores.
The Circus Girl is a more popular
sort of an offering, perhaps. than any Of
the previous productions given by the
Duff company in this city. 1t has not the
dGlntinesS of The GeiSha' nor the
bright, lingering melodies of The Run
away Girl but in its comedy features II
is stronger than any Of its predecessors,
and for this reason should prove an eN-
ceptiOnally good entertainment for the
closing days of the engagement. The

the performance was as smooth and as
finished in every respect as If 1t had been
in rehearsal for many weeks instead OF
but ten days. The comedy element was
brought forward prominently and the ap-
probation Of the gathering was showed
by it's frequent and sincere applause.
John Park was a capital Dick Capel,
while Henry Norman found many rich
comedy opportunities in the character of
Drevilli, the proprietor of the circus. Jo-
seph Fay was a good Sir Titus Wemyss,
while Clayton Greene as Reginald Cover
was better than in any of his earlier
work Paula Edwardes had in Lucille,
the slack wire walker. part TO engage
her peculiar comedy talents and she was
excellent throughout the performance. AS

estimate OF her right to interpret princi-
pal roles by her splendid handling OF the

Of the most enjoyable bits or the enter
tainment and was literally encored Ihe
other numerous parts were most satls-
factorily looked after.
