Columbia Theater.

Captain Marshalls comedy romance, The
Duke of Killikrankie," seen here some
time ago with John Drew in the title role,
received very creditable presentation last
night by the stock company at the Column
bia Theater. The play, which had long
runs In London and New York, is clever
and amusing, replete with witty dialogue
and with excellent situations. Last nights
presentation lost nothing by comparison
with the production by the original cast.
Guy Standing as the rather eccentric, but
wholly delightful Duke of Killikrankie,"
did his usual excellent work, and the other
members of the company are most congen-
tally cast. Lady Henrietta, the idealistic
and obstinate, who by constantly urging
the duke to do something" to show his
manliness. makes him decide to abduct her.
was especially well played by Dorothy
Hammond. Lady Henrietta femininity as
portrayed by Miss Hammond was in itself
enough to excuse almost any folly on the
dukes part. George CASTOR was delight
full as Mr.. Henry Pitt-Welby, an impecun-
ious member of parliament who is in love
with the wealthy widow of a glue manu-
facturer, and Jeffreys Lewis, as the
Mrs. Mulholland, the widow, admirable
The other four roles in the small cast were
acceptably acted by Malcolm Duncan,
Catharne Loughran, Hall McAllister and
Edna Brown.
The performance last night was a benefit
for the Royal Arcanum and the house was
crowded to the doors.

Belasco Theater.

The performance of Dion Boucicault' s
celebrated comedy, The Jilt," at the Be-
lasco Theater last evening deepened the
favorable impression made last week as to
the efficiency of Odette Tyler and her COM
pany of players. The comedy itself pro-
vides situations in a sufficiently serious vein
to prove stable support for the exhila-
rating flow of dialectic humor which is sup
piled by types of all classes.
1t is the usual English turf story with the
complete gallery of beings-good, bad high
and low, which racing season brings into
associa ton, and eliminates in a happy eX-
posture of all the evil of it's villains. and a
providential assortment of its trio of loving
couples.
Miss Tyler, as Kitty Woodstock, an heir
ess, discovers in the part of the impulsive,
kind-hearted English girl abundant ma
terial for action agreeable to her tempera-
ment The conflict of inclination, of love,
Of the necessity of promoting her love affair
with convention and English tradition
makes state of mind to which Miss Tyler
gives a convincing and charming picture.
Myles O'Hara, the rollicking Irish, impe-
cunious sportsman to whom Kitty loses her
heart, presented by George d. Parker
with delightful brogue, is a magnetic be-
ing. The charm of an Irish gentleman is
enhanced by the interest in any man in
love and the sallies of his wit and the
pathos of his position makes a prejudice
in his favor The most emphatic character
portrayal is given by Fuller Mellish as
James Daisy, a racing sharp, who fishes
successfully for minnows. His makeup,
gesture and dialect are true cockney. Mrs.
West as Mrs. Walter and Miss 1neZ Plum
mer as her daughter, Phyllis, also present
convincing dialect. Others in the cast are
Wilson Melrose, who made hearty Sir
Rudleigh Woodstock, w. H. Tooker. Robert
s. Taher, Miss Blanche Stoddard and Guy
Coombs.

The grading OF the last section of the
Great Falls and Old Dominion railway Is
nearly finished and Manager Boteler states
that it will be ready for the laying of track
inten days. He also states that the work
of equipping that partr of the road will
require about month of labor, and cars
will be in operation, through to the falls,
about the first of July next At present the
road is in operation to point a short dis
lance above Difficult run, where buses are
for hire to accommodate passengers wishing
to ride to the falls.
The road is at present of single-track
equipment. with side tracks and switches at
given points along the route. 1t is stated
that after the road has been completed to
the falls, bids will be solicited for the lay
ing of q parallel track the entire distance
from Rosslyn to the end of the route.
The regular travel over the road has far
exceeded the expectations of its owners and
promoters il is said. and their equipment
has proved to be inadequate for Sunday
patrons. In addition to the double tracking
of the road, the company promises to have
in the near future an equipment sufficient
to accommodate every passenger comfort

pense will be spared to make this road up

GOOD FISHING REPORTED.
Numerous Catches of White Perch
Above Aqueduct Bridge.

White perch shing in the river above the
Aqueduct bridge Is at the height of the
season Many large strings of choice
specimens have been hooked by anglers
in the past few days. The fish are SO plen-
tiful In these waters at present that the
usual drift does not furnish sufficient
quantity of food for them, and they are
readily lured by almost any of the common
bait. though the successful anglers are
employing soft crabs and angle worms.
In addition to white perch many large
Mississippi catfish, or bull-heads, are be-
ing caught. Herring are still plentiful in
the vicinity of the Chain bridge and are
readily snagged. AS the law does not per-
