MANA'S PAPA SEEN
At The COLUMBIA
Joseph Hart and Carrie De
Mar Present a New Farce.

Mama's Papa. presented at the CO.
lunbia by w. A. Brady, last night,
serves as vehicle for Joseph Hart and
Carrie De Mar to display their peculiar
talents as farceurs, and the attitude of
the fairly large audience might be re-
garded as but a lukewarm approval of
the play. however graciously the prin-
cfpais and their supporting players were
received
The piece IS a conglomeration of abb
surdities strung together evidently with
no other intention than to let each scene
and incident stand or fall on its in
trlnsic merits, and thus 1t naturally hap
pened that while some Of these scenes
and incidents evoked a moderate amount
of laughter, the majority of them fell
nat. Mr.. Hart is the adapter of the
product of German author (nane I'M
KNOWN and to his credit II may be as
sumed that he has done the best he
could with rather poor material. He is
also the author of the 1originaI lyrics"
some Of which, such as Two Sides of
a story, Four O'Clock on Broadway"
with an incidental representa- ton of the
Fiat1ron building on windy day, and
Puff, Puff, Puff" will pass muster as
fairly amusing.
Hart as DR.. Medium Foote and Miss
De Mar as Daisy Blossom have the
center OF the stage most of the time.
lhe chorus also IS above the average.
scenery and costumes are as rich as Mr..
Brady is in the habit of providing for
his productions.

BEN-HlJR" REPEATS
FORMER SUCCESS
Large Audience at National
Charmed With the Play.

''Ben-Hur'' was presented at the Ma
tional Theater last night with great sue
cess before large and select audi
ence. From the rise of the curtain to
the end of the last scene, the great
drama of the East held the attention OF
those who saw its thrilling scenes and
heard its lofty ideas. The death of the
Roman, the galley, the rescue at sea,
the chariot race and the faithful por-
trayals OF I'll the Eastern life were sue
cesses in every sense of the word.
orrin Johnson played the title role
His physique and his voice are peculiar
ly adapted to the part, and he played
1t with well sustained merit, poetic
where occasion allowed, fierce and
stormy where the events called for much
feeling. He Is on the stage through
nearly all the play and has much work
to do in the six acts.
James j. Ryan, as Messiah, also made
a good impression. His stage appear
anee is much like that of Mr.. Johnson,
and the two in the chariot race present.
ed exactly the types of the chariot driy-
erS of old.
Robert McWade, jr., as simonides. and
Henry Weaver, as Ildefinl, were, as all
the others of the company, fitting sup
Mortimer, as Esther, and Mae Burgess,
as lras. also did finished work and con-
tributed in no small part to the success
of the whole
The play is rather long, as is necessary
in staging drama of such large pro-
portions, but it is one of the few long
ones that do not tire the audience. The
scenes were shifted with such expedition
and the audience shown varying and
succeeding scenes with such rapidity
that the interest was in no case allow
ed TO flag.
AS a scenic display the play is among
the best. The rescue at sea, the grove
of Daphne and palace of Apollo, the
chariot race. and the scene on Nit
oliyet had ali the beauty and impress
siveness that could be secured from per-
feet stage management and arrange
ment: Ben-2ur" Is one Of the highly
emotional plays which is kept In the
realm. OF art Iby the very means of its
appeals TO the strong emotions and sym
pathies. One blunder would be enough
10 put 1t in the class of Objectionable
melodrama, but such does not occur.

SAMUEL GREASON
GETS NEW TRIAL
Mrs. Edwards Alleged Ac-
complete May Escape.
WOMAN ALONE MAY HANG
Another Sensational Climax in Penn
sylvania's Complicated Murder
Case.

READING. Pa. May Samuel Grea-
son has been granted a new trial by
Judge Ermentrout, on the charge of
numbering John Edwards, at Stouchs-
burg, on July 3, 1901, in completely with
Edwards wife
The opinion brings to another SEN
sationai climax one OF the most remark
able murder cases IN the history of the
State. 1t is generally expected that the
colored man will now be acquitted, and
that Mrs. Edwards will be hanged, she
having confessed and exonerated Grea-
son from any share in the murder.
Sixth Appeal Allowed.
On February Is of this year. day
before the date set for the ex-
ecution Of Greason and Mrs. Edwards,
the board of pardons continued both
cases to allow sixth appeal to
the supreme court, Mrs. Edwards

Zancig's Remarkable Exhibition O.
Telepathy-Other Vaudeville Acts.

Two minds with but a single thought
was more literal than figurative at
Chase's Theater last night while the
Zancigs held the boards. Their astoGnd-

offered, although the remainder OF the
bill was far above the ordinary acts seen
In vaudeville. The male member of the
Zancigs passes through the audience
taking letters, lockets, watches. and
ether things from the audience and re-
quests Madame Zancig to read the
name, address, anc also tell when the
III the lockets and the time recorded by
the watch, in addition 10 the letters en-
grayed on it. All this is done while she
