''Show Girl" Rice has always been a
discoverer, and in 1.-The Show Girl he
has found an opportunity of which he
was not slow to take advantage. There

chance to introduce specialties, such as
Rice alone can present. After the two
months run in New York new costumes
and scenery were provided for THE

Neither money nor time was stinted in
The matter OF costumes and scenery.
The "Show Girl" ran for two months
at Wallace's Theater in New York, and
was then for two weeks at Manhattan
Beach. The critics united in saying that
Rice had made another find. The

been talked of as another Lillian Rus

such success followed that the contract

Last season the Robson management
secured for him the exclusive rights
to "Riehard Carvel.' the dramatization
of Winston Churchill's novel. which had
been produced at the Empire Theater

John Drew in the title role, and in the
impersonation OF this virile hero of

distinction in every city he visited in
"a tour that consumed more than thirty
weeks, and included nearly eyery State
IN the Union. and part of Canada.
In the role of Richard Carvel, Mr..
Robson has found part that, it is said,
fits his personality and his tempera-
ment, and, under the light weight of
his years, which are still numbered in
the twenties, and with his striking ply
sique, he would seem especially fitted
to portray it Interestingly.

"a Rose O. Plymouth Town"

"A Rose O. Plymouth Town." a new
play by Beulah Marie Dix and Evelyn
Creenleaf Sutherland, will be the at
traction at the Columbia Theater Ibis
week. The play will be presented by
Miss Minnie Dupree. 1t deals with the
toys and tribulations of Standish and
his men in 1922.
Students OF history will remember
that at this period the Pilgrims were
harassed by Weston's men-two boat
loads of adventurers and soldiers of
fortune. One of their number, Gar
ret Foster, was decidedly better than
his fellows. He incurred the Jealousy
of John Margeson, one of the Spanish
soldiers, who was a suitor for Rose de
la Noyes hand. Rose is a young French
girl, who is a member of Standish's S
household. This part is portrayed By
Miss Dupree, and, in striking contrast
to the usual Interpretation of a Puri-
tan maiden's character, Miss Dupree is
q chic, brave, impetuous, but altogether
lovable girl.
Margeson and Foster fight duel for
her favor. The latter is banished from
the settlement for this act but returns
later to warn the colonists Of plot
among the Indians to destroy the set

Fosters return. however, illustrates
their plans. The Indians resort to
flaming arrows and succeed in setting
fire to the house. The fire is put out
with pals of water, but the besieged's
scant supply of powder is dampened and
rendered useless.
1t is then that Rose becomes the real
heroine. She makes a dash through the
forest to the blockhouse for a fresh
supply OF ammunition. and comes back.
unscathed, with enough powder to with
stand the siege until Captain Standish' 8

struggle against the Indians. and Rose,
who never really loved him, transfers
her affection TO Garrett Foster.

"The Little Mother" at Academy.
''The Little Mother" appears at the
Academy tomorrow night.
The story of the play is as follows:
Nan. or. as she is better known, 'The
Little Mother" is left In charge OF her
two brothers. One is speechless but can
hear. The other has all the nerve Of
the average New York urchin. The
boys are nick-named respectively the
Colonel and Major" Nan is scarce
ly old enough to appreciate her respon-
sibility. but her new duties appeal to
he- gradually. She supports the boys
by selling newspapers, and contributes
to the support of a drunken stepfather
and an invalid mother.
Through the vaccinations of a ne'er-
do-weli companion, the stepfather tries
to barter Mans innocence to further his
own ends. Bob Dillon, assisted by q
Weary Willie" succeeds after many
vicissitudes in confronting the Villains
OF the play with proof of former as well
as present viiiainies, and, as usual. the
play ends happily. The scenes of the
play represent the Dewey Arch and
Broadway at the intersection OF Fifth
Avenue; an East River dock with a view
