CorIINC ATTRACTIONS
Columbia Theater

The opening of the dramatic season at the
Columbia Theater on Monday evening next,
at which time the play written by E. H
Sothern. 1.-The Light That Lies in Woman's
Eyes to be presented by Virginia Harmed
and her company, under the management of
Charles Frohman, promises to be one of the
pretentious openings Of the forthcoming
dramatic period. A play emanating from
a man of Mr.. Sotherns literary and artis-
tic ability cannot help creating no little
eagerness upon the part of the public to see
1t. Those who know Mr.. Sothern. and par
ticularly those who have followed his ar
tistic career, must of necessity be familiar
with his capabilities. As an actor he needs
no introduction to the theatergoing public
1t is not overstating the fact to say that
Mr.. SotheTn is regarded as one OF the
closest students OF the stage that we now
have in the United States. AS playwright
he has chosen Washington as the city
where will be produced his first effort

MUSIC

The theatrical season will be in full swing
next Monday evening, with every promise
of brilliant season.
Chase's Theater was the center of en-
thusiastic interest this week. it's new deco
rations adding to the pleasure of an enter
tainment which, though not surprising the
usual run of polite vaudeville bills, was to
a show hungry public like mama in the
desert. The program was an exeinplifica-
ton of vaudevilles usefulness as a sure
source of income to the legitimate perform
er who has wearied of the eXactions and
often inadequate rewards of high art. Pau
line Hall has been queen of comic opera
for many day, and the welcome she Still
finds is proof positive that the American
playgoers are not open to the charge OF
disloyalty to old favorites. Henry Lee has
provided himself with an act which retains
touches of the ideal drama and at the same
time possesses strong popular appeal. Who
would not travel. long way to hear Shake
speare recite 1.-The Seven Ages?" And even
il Mr. Lees manner of elocution fail to
find critical approval he can fall back on
the tradition that Shakespeare was bad
actor and claim credit for his fidelity to
fact. If Mr.. Lee is the author of the little
monologues which accompany his pictures.
he exhibits undue modesty in failing to
give himself credit on the program. for
they are clever bits of originality or COM
pilation, as the case may be.
The Lafayette's week of musical comedy
was. for the most part, a disappointing
affair, although a large number of people,
schooled by long summer drouth to hope for
the best and be prepared for the worst.
went to see it. The Academy Empire and
Kernans Lyceum Theater had their GUS
tomary lines Of attraction.
The various poems which have been pub
lished from E. H. Sothern's pen seemed to
promise that should he apply himself to
playwriting he would produce a tragedy
rather than a comedy. OF late years he
has developed dignity that is almost SOM
Der in it's intensity, and his literary pro-
auctions have been marked by mournful
mysticism rather than jocose fancy. But
Mr.. Sothern has been a versatile player
and there is every reason to hope he will
prove equally comprehensive in his talents
as a writer, and that THE Light That Lies
In Womans Eyes will possess abundant
wit, despite the titles conspicuous lack OF
brevity. Miss Harmed and her new play
will enjoy the distinction of being the first
to appear in the Columbia Theater as it
now stands, with all its old good features to
commend it and with handsome and taste
full decorations newly added.

Of the fact that Mr.. Cornelius Gardiner,

ers' is calculated to inspire confidence In
the drama amongst a large class of thea

TO JURY, TODAY
Will Go Celebrated Case as to Title te
Sun Pointer.

OLIVER G. HALL, Judge
w. S. CHOATE. Clerk
THOMAS LEIGH, County Attorney.
FRANK j. HAM, Sheriff.
FRED w. LEE, Stenographer
Augusta, April 81.
At $50 o'clock, Tuesday morning,
His Honor Judge Hall viii begin his
charge to the jury in the case of John
0. E. Johnson of Boston, against Les
lie w. Folsom of Augusta, to determine
who is the owner of the legal title to
Sun Pointer, who was sired by the
famous Star Pointer. the case will
reach the Jury sometime in the fore
noon.
At Mondays session, William L.
Buckminister. Esq, of Boston, one OF
the counsel for the plaintiff, moved
that a verdict be directed for the
plaintiff and offered to remit the dam
ages. He contended that on the own
evidence of the defendant, Folsom, that
Johnson was the proper party plaintlit
and had the full right of possession
unless Folsom was entitled to d lien.
Attorney Buckminister also contend-
ed that Eolsom'S lien admitted for the
purpose of argument had been lost as
g matter Of law by d void sale in
Massachusetts and an attempt by Mr..
Folsom to assert the title in his wife
under this sale by maintaining her alb
solute ownership in the suit tiied in the
Cumberland superior court at Portland.
George c. Sheldon, Esq, of Augusta,
one of the counsel for the defendant,
argued in answer that the evidence
raiser certain issues of fact proper for
the consideration of the jury: First
the question of fact as to whether or
not there was any sale either honest
or fraudulent at all from Barrett to
Johnson; second, the question of fact
as to whether the transaction between
Barrett and Johnson was the gift of
the horse. accompanied by such de-
livery as to entitle the plaintiff to main
tain the action; third. the question of
fact as to whether or not there was, a
discharge Of the debt lien on the horse
under the evidence.
Attorney Sheldon further contended
that the real issue was the plaintiffs
ownership of the horse and that was
q question Of fact for the jury. that
the question for the Immediate right
of possession on the part of the plain
tiff was not an issue. but the question
OF ownership either by sale or gift as
the plaintiff had based his claim to
lrccover by ownership and not by the
right of possession.
Judge Hall stated that there was Suf-
/ Gcient issue of fact to allow the case
to go;to the Jug and refused 90 enter
tain the notion of Mr.. Ruckminister
