Chairman" with the original cast. will
be the attraction at the Columbia
Theater next week The play found
great favor here last year No play pro-
duced in recent years has as many ele-
ments to attract lovers Of comedy, and
the pungent wit. clever satire, and
happily drawn characters easily ac-
count for its long run in New York and
other cities Aside from the dramatic
incidents of the play and the many
comic episodes which eliminate in the
third act there are salient features
which delight the eye. Arbuckle, as
the central figure Of the play, invests the
part with an JUNCTION and flavor that is
constant source of delight. The same
compliment may be paid TO the drolleries
OF Willis p. Sweatnam as an impecunious
negro Especially forceful are the i'm
presentations of the housewife by Martha
Conway, W. j. Gross as the Oldest in
habitant, Cecile Calhoun as the heroine.
Lucy Rigby; Grace Fisher as the SIM
rering milliner, and Z. r. Phillips as

SONGS AND DANCES
OF LONG. LONG AGO
By GEORGE PRIMROSE.

The generation of today. whose ideas
of negro songs and dances is of the rag
time and wishey-washey style. have no
idea OF the beauty, pathos and quaint
ness Of the old time ballads and dances
OF a generation ago. 1t was Thackeray
who once wrote:
Il heard a humorous balladist not long
since. a minstrel with wool on his head
and an ultra Ethiopian complexion. who
performed a negro ballad that L con-
TESS moistered these spectacles in a
most unexpected manner. | have gazed
at thousands of tragedy queens dying
on the stage and expiring in appropriate
blank verse. and l never wanted to wipe
my eyes. They have looked up be it
said. at many scores of clersymen with
out being dimmed: ard behold. a vaga-
bond with a corked face and banjo
sings a little song. strikes n wild note,
which sets the heart throbbing with
happy pity"
1t would be impossible to attain any
such effect upon the heart strings with
the songs of today. therefore. / have re-
viyed several of the oId-time folk songs
and ballads written by the late Stephen
c. Foster. which are dear to the hearts
OF all

and most pathetic melody. unfortunately
is not heard as often as the public de-
sires. The one great quality in all of
Fosters music is that IL never grows

to the ear and appreciated as when il
was first heard. The pathos in --OId
Black joe has become more tender with

others have mellowed with age There
is a strain of sadness in ..Massa's in de

the eyes of today as when it was first
