AT the Columbia Theatre last
night the isle of Spice, described
as musical mixture, was present
ed for the first time in Washington.
Its music is pleasing and the COM
edy effective. The costumes and
the stage investiture, the chorous
ensembles and scenec effects, the
groupings and color schemes, the
unique and charming mechanical
effects are all of high order of ex-
cellence. The chorous is large,
and individually and collectively
