Sioux and Ogalalla Indians, big force of
expert cowboys, VaqueroS, GauchoS, Cos

many other typical representatives of the
various classes of brave and strong men,

have involved the doing of manly and he
roic deeds. There is not anywhere, and
never has been, so remarkable and eXcit-
Ing a performance given by any troupe as

CONGRATULATIONS
Columbia Theater.

Exceptional interest has been aroused
over the production next week by the Col
umbia Stock Company of Dumas famous
masterpiece, Camille" This interest comes
from the impelling qualities of the play it
self and from the desire to see Miss Anda
Cortelyou, who has made such a pro-
nounced impression as the leading woman
of the organization, in a role commensurate
with the character of her ability Miss
Ccrtelyou has awakened much pleasant an
ticipation in those who have followed her
work as a member of the stock company at
the Columbia. She has played but three
parts so far each one, however, being in
vested with a charm of personality and
gracious manner of playing that has stead
lily increased her popularity. The three
roles have been widely varying ones and
have demonstrated her versatility. Miss
Cortelyou seems aptly fitted to play Camille,
and her admirers feel confident that she
will give very interesting account of her
self as the heroine of one of the greatest
romances ever known to the stage. 1t is
no small matter to arrange production or
Camille in the space of time allotted TO a
successful stock company which changes
its bill weekly. The Columbia management,
however. and the players have gone about
their work in Il manner that lnsures a
smooth and impressive performance. Ca
mile is a crucial test because 1t is so well
known by all playgoers and is associated
with so many great actresses. The great
est women players of the time have been
attracted to Candles shrine and have
found in her a study to challenge their best
endeavors. Washington has seen all the
foremost productions of the piece from
Bernhard down. The forthcoming Column
bia production has been planned to vie
with the best stock company offerings
The surrounding cast has been selected
with the greatest care and Stage Director
William Post has given his entire time
this week in making the stage arrange
ments. Eugene Ormonde will play Ar
mand Duyal. Camille's lover. The part
abounds in serious work, which is in LIE
with Mr. Ormonde's most successful ef-
forts. Miss Alice Butler the very clever
character player, will be seen as Madame
Prudence 1t will be her first important
part of the present season and Will give her
the opportunity to display the talent she
possesses in such marked degree. Grace
Atwell. who has made such hit this week
as Polly Eccles in Caste will play Nj
Ghetto. Violet Kimball of this city joins
the company to play Olympic, while Flora
Snyder is cast as Mamie. Mr.. Post Will
play NJ Duval, Armands father; Wallace
