Columbia Theater.

The management OF the Columbia has
been particularly happy in selecting r. e.
Cartons clever comedy. Wheels Within
Wheels" as tha attraction for the closing
week Of the summer season. As enacted
last night by Mr.. Guy Standing. supported
by John Mason and the Columbia Theater
Company, the piece was probably the most
delightful that has been presented during
the engagement and the audiences that Wit
ness the farewell performances this week
will certainly entertain the pieasantest
recollections OF the capable company and
Its work here curing the supplementary
season. There is not dull moment In the
action of the piece. 1t abounds In spark
ling dialogue and amusing situations. ana
in some OF the roles the author displays
his facility In character deiineat1on. Tho
story OF the play is interesting Lady Cur
toys, a woman of shallow character. be-
comes involved in an affair with Egerton
Vartrey, who endeavors to compel her to
elope with him. Vartrey possesses letter
which Lady Curtoys wrote to him IN an
indiscreet moment. Mrs. Buimer. sister-in-
law OF Lady Curtoys, learns OF the anafr
and secretly visits vartreys apartments,
letting herself in with Key she had pur-
Joined from Lady Curtoys. Mrs Buimer
forces the lock on Vartrey's desk and re-
moves the compromising letter, being de-
tected in the burglary by Lord Eric Chan
trell. who happens to be occupying var
trey's rooms during the latter s. absence.
which Mrs. Bulmer is placed, Lord Eric
falls in love with her. and without any
explanation believes in her. This loyalty to
Mrs. Bulmer remains steadfast even after
she hes represented herself as clipping with
Vartrey, which she does in order to extri-
cate Lady Curtoys from the embarrassing
situation in which her frivolity has placed
her. In the end Lady Curtoys returns to
her husband without his suspecting the
truth and Lord Eric Is rewarded for his
loyalty by the resourceful Mrs. Bulmer.
John Mason gave delightful perform
ance Of the role Of Lord Eric, the part no
created when the piece was originally pro-
dueed. Guy Standing appeared as Jim
Blagden, loud voiced, boorish fellow,
lacking refined instincts. Mr.. Standings
characterization was one of the best he has
done this season. The principal feminine
role. that OF Mrs. Buimer, was played by
Miss Dorothy Hammond, who met its every
demand In the most satisfying manner
Hall McAllister AZ Hir Philip Curtoys, Mai
colin Duncan as Egerton vartrey, Miss
Jeffrys Lewis as Sir Philips aunt, and Miss
Dorothy Hammock as Lady Curtoys, each
had important roles and gave performances
that were thoroughly capable and enjoy
able. George Gastons popularity with the
audience was attested by the applause he
received in the part of waiter at 1.-The
Horn OF Plenty"
