of Kathryn Purnell out in full force, for
all will welcome the opportunity to see
her portray the fine character of Cigar
ette," the daughter of the regiment, in the
always popular drama Under Two Flags
The play Is one that has attracted marked
attention and is on record as having proved
as valuable money-making piece Of prop
erty as any given to the stage in late
years. The scene of the first act opens In
England. and discloses the fact that two
brothers and sons of noble family are,
through their reckless ways, in need of
money. One. BERTHE Cecil by name, has fol-
lowed the path of honesty, while the other
brother, Berkeley, resorts to forgery and
uses Cecirs name in order to raise "a sum
of money to pay q gambling debt, and
when the note falls due the victim Is ap-
prised Of the fact by the presence of the
money-1ender, who insists upon prompt
payment, and Cecil, who has discovered
that 1t is his own brother who has COM
mitted the forgery. admits the note is
genuine and saves his brother from i'm
pending disgrace. but sacrifices his own
good name and is forced to fee the coun-

Coming Attractions.
Columbia.

Tomorrow evening the Columbia Theater
Company will inaugurate the third week OF
it's supplemental spring season with a big
revival of the delightful comedy, Feather
BRAIN" by James Albery Of 1.-TWO Roses
and "Pink Dominoes' fame. Feather
brain" has never been obtainable for use
by any stock company, but has been held
in reserve by the royalty owners of the
piece for a big revival in New York. The
comedy will be exceptionally well cast.
Wilton Lackaye win be seen for the first
time in eighteen years In the character Of
Don Stephano Ruy Conan, which he ere
ated in the original New York production
Of "Featherbrain'' at the old Madison
Square Theater in the late spring of 1889.
The role is that of fiery but charmingly
droll Portuguese and furnishes abundant
opportunity for the skill and originality Of
Mr.. Lackaye as comedian. The title role
Of "Featherbrain'' will be interpreted by
Miss Hilda Spong. 1t was originally Gre
ated in the Madison Square production by
Mrs. Fiske. then Minnie Maddern and in
the original English production under
Charles Wyndham's auspices at the Lon
don Criterion this part was taken by Marie
Jansen. Miss Charlotte. Walker is also
splendidly cast for the "Featherbrain" re-
ffVdl III Inc part OF EuTyulce mole, an at
tractive young actress around whose per-
sonality certain complications of the plot
revolve.
"Featherbrain' is the result of the COM
bined efforts of four well-known dramatists.
In the original French it was known as
''Tete de Linotte." this being the Freneh
idiom for ''hare-brained girl" Although
of French origin, "Featherbrain" is clean
and wholesome, without anything risque or
suggestive in it's plot. Featherbrain, the
nickname given to the part played by Miss
Spong, is young married woman sup
posed to be SO deficient in memory and
general mental balance as to be scarcely
responsible for her actions. All the fool
ish things she does are excused on account
of these natural defects, but. in spite Of
them, she is supposed to be fascinating
and Irresistible. One of the finer scenes Of
the comedy revolves around realistic
spiral staircase in the second act William
Lamp will be seen as Valentine Day. which
William Faversham created in the Madison
Square production, and George CASTOR will
have Jimmy" Barrows' old role of Samuel
Coney. the husband of Featherhrain. Other
members Of the cast will be Walter Howe
as Ferdinand Pe.tigrew. Guy Nichols as
Upper Cabman, Ernest Briscoe as the
youth Miss Fife Darling rs Mrs. Petit
grew, Miss Fanny HartZ as Nellie Miss
Dorothy Hammack as Gimp and Miss War;
rem as Mary Ann. The usual scale of %.
so and IS cents for evenings and 25 and 30
cents for the Thursday and Saturday matt
nees will obtain.
