The CoIumbia-'.A Runaway GirI.u

If the enthusiasm and size of the audi
ence at the Columbia Theatre last even
ing when the supplementary season of
musical comedy was inaugurated are TO
be taken as a criterion of what future
gatherings viii be. the success Of the ven
ture is assured. The theatre was packed
and the applause was hearty. as well as
plentiful. Each of the popular songs of
"A Runaway Girr' was encOred, and
the performance was delayed over half
hour on account of the insistence on the
part of the audience that the delightful
numbers be repeated. 1t was a most sue
cessful commencement of the period of
musical productions and few regular or
ganizations have succeeded in creating
such favorable impression as did the
Columbia company last night.
1t was a rather daring effort to pre-
sent for the initial offering such a ia
miliar piece as "A Runaway Girl 1t
was last seen here a few months ago,
when it displayed a drawing power that
was considered little short Of marvellous
when it was recalled that the piece had
been seen here on at Least two previous
occasions. And when Manager Luckett
decided to open his season with the form
er Daily success, the wise ones shook
their heads in doubt, but last nights
splendid audience showed the wisdom of
the choice. A better production of the
musical comedy has never been given in
this city, and it's success is all the more
remarkable when the low prices Of ad-
mission are considered. one dollar for
the best orchestra chair is small charge
for such an excellent production and 1t
will doubtless result in keeping the
Street playhouse crowded during the sea-
son. This condition of affairs will most
assuredly prevail If the theatregoers of
the Capital respond TO the Inducements
held out By the management of the Co
iumbia as they should.
The company that was last night seen
in "A Runaway Girl was the same, with
one execution as regards the principals
as was seen at the same theatre a few
months ago The exception is Paula Ed

Academy-1.From Scotland Yard.u

There was surfeit of enthusiasm at the
Academy of Music last night. and If fu-
ture audiences assembled to see the new
melodrama, From Scotland Yard are as
well pleased as that which crowded the
upper portion of Manager Janette's play
house, there will be money in plenty for
the promoters of the offering.
The play has situatiOns-several of them,
In fact-and one has enough novelty and
force to carry the entire four acts to a
successful termination. There IS little
need to tell the story of the play 1t is
a typical detective story. filled with SEN
sationaT events and heroic speeches. The
customary faithful wife and loving child
are present and are rescued invariably
in the nick of time, while the detective
himself is-like the proyerbial JOhnny-aI-
ways on the spot at the needful moment.
The one great situation in the play in
cludes three scenes with continued action,
a rescue from strangulation by shooting
out the light of a candle, a battle on a
roof, ending in a fall through a skylight
and a final round in the loft below. where
a convenient pitchfork comes In opposi-
tiOn 10 an equally ready barrel stave. The
final scene is not we'll done, but was en-
Enthusiastically received last night.
The company is generally good Albert
HOsmer, who has the role OF the leading
detective suits the average gallery crowd
quite well. Gus Mortimer is really excel
lent singing well and reading with intel
Lgence and Henry Hanscombe, who es-
says the role of the very wicked and cruel
villain, is far above the average. The
Granger child is quite good also, while
Nellie Granger is a pretty ingenue with
a good idea of humOr. The remainder Of
the rather large cast is quite even in
ability.
The scenery is well painted and as a
whole the performance is pleasing to those
who care for detectives in their meIo-
dramas There will be the customary matt
nees today, Thursday. and Saturday.
