Alaska II, Down the Yukon to the klon-
dixie and Cape Nome" Cape Nome marks
the extreme limit IN Mr.. Holmes travels

The Klondike for many years has been
universal topic of discussion, and few com

ANY person living in New York, or who

length of time, cannot fail to be impressed
with the sharp contrasts of life and archi-
tectural features that are seen in no other

cleaning light, looks down upon the vilest
novels in the slums, and the famous Harlem
bridge, marvel of beauty and engineering
skill, spans rckety docks and waterfront
debris, with here and there rottng old
canal boat moored to the piles.

shown in the production of New York

Columbia Theater.

Miss Alice Fischer, who won her way into
immediate popularity on the occasion OF her
visit to Washington last season in the COM
edy Mrs. Jack" has been secured as the
attraction at the Columbia Theater for one
week, beginning Monday evening, Decem-
Der IA. Mr.. Henry B. Harris, under whose
management she has risen to the rank of
Americas favorite coincidence, will pre-
sent her on this occasion in Leo Ditrich
STEMS comedy, whats the Matter With
Susan?" The comedy is in three acts and
Mr.. Ditrichstein has employed unusual and
mirth-compelling devices. hilariously mirth-
provoking situations and logical climaxes
that have the ring of sincerity, for although
he has selected his characters from a little
town on the Hudson his comedy is not rural
as 1t is usually understood in reference to
plays depicting country life. Miss F'ischer's
role is that of Susan Powers, the dominant
personality in this village and naturally the
leading parsonage In the comedy. Its quaint
types of humanity have been utilized by Mr..
Ditrichstein for the development of his plot.
Susan Power has suffered early in life
disappointment in love. Naturally this has
emblttered her and possessed her with
supreme contempt for men. She Is called to
a little town on the Hudson by the serious
illness or her sister. at whose death she finds
herself in charge of household that con-
slsts or her brother-fn-law, good natured
Weakllng, nephew and niece, two care
less, easy-going young people and a dis
tant relative, lazy youth with aspirations
to become an actor. When the play opens
Susan seems in fair way to end her like
soured spinster, feared by all in7the COM
munity and loved by none, as it has been
necessary for her to stifle any natural ten
dency OF feeling or generosity of impulse
In order to rule this household with an iron
hand. Into her life comes for the first time
a man of strong principles and integrity
UnWlillngly she falls in love with him-a
condition that at first brings great unhappt-
ness to Susan. for ishe thinks him in love
with another woman The manner in which
this tangle is Strengthened and Susan's true
nature revealed forms the thread from
which Mr.. Ditrfchstein has embroidered hui
morous episodes. laugh-compelling situations
and effectively divertng cimaxes Mr.
Harr1S has done much to add to his stars
second season of success by surrounding
her with an unusually we'll chosen st

splendid interpretation of this most laugh
able OF comedies. The cast includes Mr.
