The Columbia-"Audrey."

A dramatic version OF Mary Johnston s.
novel. Audrey" was shown locally for
the first time last night at the Columbia
Theatcr. representing to Washington
theatergoers Eleanor Robson. an actress
who. by recognized dramatic talent and
much personal charm, has won host OF
admirers here.

said that nine times out OF ten the act is
justihable and again, saving Miss Rob
sons work. and that Of one Of her as
sistants. Audrey must be counted one
OF the nine.
The play is not the book dramatized
II is a play made from the story only.
Those who have not read the latter may
90 IN peace and cOntentmeut that the
play tells a pretty story in the main. but
those who have spent an hour or so in
reading the novel will have their atteu-
ton completely diverted by the manner
IN which IL has been distorted for dra-
matte purposes. That. however. does not
recommend itself as an Objectionable
feature. for II is not necessary that %
should deteriorate from either the book
OF the stage story.
