Plays in which horses are introduced are
always popular and nearly always success
full. This has been the experience OF Mr..
James H. Wallick, manager and owner Of
THE Bandit King and THE Cattle King
which come to the Academy Of Music next
week. These plays were success on two
continents, he having produced both plays
in Europe as well as in this country. In
presenting the plays this season, Mr.. Wal
lick has made a most elaborate revival Of
both in the way Of scenery and mechanical
and electrical effects, some of which are
said to be really startling. One Of the
great features in both productions Is the
introduction of Mr.. Wallicks eight trained
horses, which are said to be marvels Of in
telligence, and their work on the stage is
said to almost equal that of the human
actor. Mr.. Wallick is undoubtedly the
greatest trainer of horses for stage pur-
poses in the world and he says, with much
pride, that those he has instructed for the
coming production are the cleverest that he
has ever handled in his entire experience.
similar, there is not the slightest resem-
blance In either action or plot one to the
other, and while the titles may also seem
little sensational, there Is nothing in either
production that could possibly CRATE on the
finest feelings OF any one. The company
presenting the plays is said to be remark
ably clever one, and is led by Mr.. John J.
Farrell, one Of the best opponents Of the
romantic hero upon the stage. Mr. Jack

company. THE Bandit King will be given
the first half Of the week and 1.-THE Cattle

Columbia Theater.

Bristling with humor and interpolated
from beginning to end with bright and
novel specialties and musical numbers, 1.-THE
Liberty Bellies" the successful musical
comedy by Harry B. Smith, presented by
Klaw & Erlangers Troubadours, including
Harry Giifoil, the clever comedian and
mimic, comes to the Columbia Thearer next
week.
This very attractive and witty play held
the stage at the Madison Square Theater
In New York for four months, scoring the
greatest financial record in the history of
this house since the days of Hazel Kirke"
Besides that 1t was seen here last year
just before 1t made it's New York debut
and made a hit.
The piece is delightfully."- dainty novelty,
highly commended for Its purity and the
entire absence Of horseplay, buffoonery or
any Objectionable feature Of any character
The company is conspicuous for talent, and
particularly for the large array Of remark
ably pretty girls in the cast. In respect
to personal attractiveness the young women
of this company may be regarded as an ex-
hibition of feminine loneliness such as has
seldom been seen on the New York stage.
They represent the most attractive young
girls who have appeared in Broadway pro-
auctions during the past three years.
The story Of Mr.. Smiths new comedy Is a
COMIC WHICH mas us lOunQdt10n
in sentimental escapade on the part OF
Margery Lee, stage-struck girl engaged
to Phil Fullerton, a Columbia junior, and
Dorothy Grey fellow student, secretly
married to Jack Everleigh an Annapolis
cadet. These parts. are played by Violet
Dale the well-known coincidence and MINI
ic; Katie Rooney. beautiful young in
genue Harry Eintoni and John Gilroy. The
comedy part is, taken by Mr.. Harry Gilfoil,
who is the real feature Of the play, He is
seen as an uncle OF one of the girls an &C.
centric character part.
There are three acts, the scenes of which
show dormitory IN q young women's semi
nary. with thegpupilss engaged in a clandes-
tine midnight supper; the kitchen of the
cooking school OF 1.-THE Liberty Bellies and
the veranda and grounds of a ia shionahle
hotel in Florida. The first act has attracted
very wide attention because Of its novelty.
Twenty young women appear in all sorts of
deshabiIle costumes. and yet not one word
of adverse comment can be uttered against
this feature Of the performance, It is 40
dantily handled.
There Is no chorus in this production Tn
constructing the play Mr.. Smith eliminated
that time-honored feature and replaced it
by characters which have an actual stand
ing and definite purpose In the story. The
midnight supper of the pupils is interrupted
by Jack and Phil entering the dormitory by
means of a window disguised as burglars. A
scene Is created, they are arrested and Mar
gerry and Dorothy are expelled.
In the second act these young women are
running a cooking school for living, and
a comic climax to the second act very nat
urally translates the story and the prilci-
pals to the scene In Florida, where the
