Columbia Theater.

The Columbia Theater resounded with al
most continuous shouts of mirth last even
ing, the hilarity being occasioned by the
performance of The Ham Tree" with Nc
Intyre and Heath officiating as chiefs of the
department of fun and frolic. The piece is
described as a musical vaudeville, book by
George V. Hobart and lyrics and music by
VIM. Jerome and Jean Schwartz. There are
numerous specIalties, permitting opportunity
for individual performers, and a gratifying
number of ensembles, In which an immense
chorus signs and dances with great vlvacity
and sprightliness. Mcintyre and Heath are
seen in their old-time roles of black-face
comedians, their familiar vaudeville sketch,
Georgia Minstrels," being elaborated upon
new Jokes, and while they were In the lime
light there was a continuous roar of mer-
riment from the large audience. Through
out the entire performance there was not a
dull moment, and the performers on the
stage appeared to enjoy making the fun as
much as the auditors enjoyed witnessing it.
A decidedly interesting feature of the per-
Torrance was the work Of w. c. Fields in
the role of Sherlock Battles, whose display
of dexterity and comedy Juggling furnished
much amusement. Frederick v. Bowers
also came in for a large share Of applause
for his singing of two spirited songs, one
of them topical ditty containing local hits
tributed to the fun-making in an exagger-
ated characterization of an English lord
and his valet. Forrest Huff, Jobyna How
land and Belle Gold gave capable perform
ances of their roles. Several of the musical
numbers are OF the catchy variety that APP
peal to the popular fancy, and the scenic
environment and costumes are most elabo-
rate.

FUNDS ARE LIMITED
REPLY OF PUBLIC LIBRARY OF
FICIAL TO A COMPLAINT.

Complaint that "it is impossible ever to
get new book from the Public Library
has been answered by Librarian George B.
Bowerman. as follows:
This library's book funds are exceed
ingly limited. However in the case OF
some popular books We buy anywhere from
ten to fifty or more copies. portion OF
these copies are Immediately thrown into
free circulation. In the case of fiction these
free copies are never reserved. so that bor-
rowers always have to take their chances
to secure them.
"a portion of such books are put into our
duplicate pay collection, from which any
borrower may secure them on payment of
cents. week. Just as soon as these books
pay lof sianscsSes-ahd new novel pays
free. All such books may be reserved, and
notice will be sent to the borrower.
Pay Collection Plan.
Our limited funds, as 1 have said, would
not permit of our buying this increased
number of new books, but by resorting to
the duplicate pay collection plan We can
buy this large number and thus accommo-
date a greater portion of the applications.
This scheme is a benefit to all borrowers.
for IL makes 1t possible for the library 10
buy books which it could not otherwise
purchase.
You are not justified in referring to this
plan of reservation as "a new form OF
graft We have advertised this plan
again and again; 1t has the full approval
of the trustees and has never been criti-
cised by the public after 1t has been prop
erly explained.
II assure you that there is every desire
to give you every courtesy, including the
privilege of reserving books in the way
before mentioned. The library also re-
serves books other than fiction on the pur-
chase of a postal for the purpose Books
other than fiction are rarely included IN
the duplicate pay collection"
In concluding his statement Mr.. Bower
man said he trusts that his explanation
will show that the library is being run for
the benefit of the whole public, and that
any accusations tending to show that 1t Is
run discreditably are without foundation.
