The drillers then withdrew and the
three blasts were set off in rapid sue.

quantities of rock.
The drillers say that about 10 min.

"Vivan's Papas.n

once upon time" said a playwright.
there were some dignified family men who
resolved to have night out and INDUCED in
some very fragrant firtations-"
AT this point the audience became 1T
tie rebellious and was about to declare that
1t had heard the story before, when the
playwright introduced few variations.
and convinced his hearers that there is no
tale so old that it cannot be made to seem
novel by clever treatment
'Vivian's Papas." which was presented
at the Columbia last night. seemed on
pressively familiar for the first half hour
or so, but in the second act 1t became an
parent that these old-time domestic deceits
are used merely as a foundation. and that
the superstructure has embellishments dis
tinctively its own The play Is onIv a
trifie. a light and unsubstantial craft
launched with becoming difidence upon the
sea Of public favor, and recurring the
more skniful management because Of its
fragility. Its reception last night leaves
no reason to doubt that it will steer sa feIv
into port, with fine cargo of box office
receipts. The mirth was continuous. the
audience responding with hilarious alacrity
10 every invitation to enjoy a laugh
The piece affords abundant opportunities
for the various members Of the company

Will probably not be produced again this

eminently prosperous career of "Are You

valuable property.

Columbia Theater.

The engagement of Stuart Robson at the
Columbia next week in his elaborate re-
V1Val OF The Comedy Of Errors" prom
1ses to be one of the chief theatrical events
OF the year. The sale of seats, which
opened Thursday morning, has been re-
markably large and the official and social
lie OF the capital has been very consp.cu-
ously represented among the purchasers.
Mr.. Robson stands alone today as the
exponent of Shekespearean comedy in this
country. His portrayal of such charac
tiers as Touchstone, Bottom, the weaver,
ana Aguecheek are all delightfully."- remem-
hered by the playgoers of the past two
generations. But it is not too much to say
that of all the Sffakespearean roles in
which he has appeared he is most affec-
tionately regarded by the public as the
Dromio of Syracuse in THE Comedy Of
ErrOrs.' Physically he is perfectly suited
to this role; nor does he depend on the
cloWnishness which once marked this char
acter in the hands of other players. Mr..
Robson has always maintained that THE
Comedy of Errors is the highest and pur
est type of comedy know to stage litera-
ture, and 1t was he who rescued 1t from the
bufrooneries of nearly two centuries. His
Dromio of Syracuse is an amusing but
lovable and pathetic figure. For this pro-
duction Mr.. Robson has surrounded him.
self with company of unusual excellence,
including such well-knoWn players as Cliff
ford Leigh as the Dromio of Ephesus. Ed
win Holt, Charles Lane. Cecil Kingston,
AdOlph Jackson, Walter Pennington, Frank
Trenor, George Hammond. Edward Nolan
and Miss Eleanor Barry, Miss Frances
Grahame Mayo. Miss Laura Thompson,
Miss Jennie Reifferth and Miss A. Trance.
In every way 1t will be the most elaborate
production of a Shakespearean comedy ever
given in this country. Two carloads of
scenery are carried by Mr.. Robson, and for
this engag cement Mr.. Sol Minister. musical
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-01-24


director of the Columbia Theater, has writ
ten special orchestral numbers in keeping
with the spirit of the play. No little Curl
osity exists in musical circles of the city
to hear these numbers, which are said to
be in Mr.. Minister'S best vein The inter-
est in this engagement is further enhanced
from the fact that it will be the last time
Mr.. Robson will be seen in Shakespearean
role in this city. Next season he Is to APP
pear in play now being written for him
by a well-known dramatist.
Clifford Leigh who plays the Dromio of
Ephesus, is young Engiishman, who, in
his own country, was identical with the
successes of such distinguished actors as
Henry Irving. Sir Charles Wyndham, John
Hare and Beerbohm Tree. His physical
resemblance to Mr. Robson is most strik-
ing and when in makeup it is difficult for
even members of the company to distn-
guish one from the other. Mr.. Leigh has
scored Very heavily In the other cities, as
has Mr.. Edwin Holt, an actor very popular
in Washington, who plays the Antipholus
of Syracuse. Miss Eleanor Barry Is the
Adriana She will be remembered in Wash
ington as the leading woman for Mrs.
Langtry on the occasion of that actress
appearance here some three years ago.
Frances Grahame Mayo also will be read
ily recalled by Washingtonians. She is a
daughter-in-law of the late Frank Mayo,
and a player of conspicuous ability
