Columbia.

Frederic Thompson's skill as a scenic
creator was shown in the third act of
'Brewster's Millions" at the Columbia
Theater last night. when the audience saw
the whole stage transformed into section
of yachts deck. with bridge, ventilator,
smokestack-with real smoke-deckhouse
sails. ratlines. masts-everything ship
shape and Bristol fashion. with the ex-
ceprion of a. green side light set to port
and the ringing the ships bell aft instead
of forward. The whole deck rocked In
the swell. broadside on to the audience.
and the actors had to use their sea legs
to Keep their feet. wild storm arose
as the act neared its end What looked
like real clouds scudded across the sky
back Of the yacht, thunder rolled, light
ming flashed. and the wind not only
whistled. but actually blew a gale. which
tore the heroine's hair adrift from its
mornings and streamed it out behind her.
The story of the play Is substantially
that made familiar by Mr.. McCutcheon' 8
novel-how a poor young man suddenly
heir to million is forced by the terms
of another will to spend his first Inherit
ance in a year to gain one seven times
larger at the end Of that term: how his

alarm his friends. who try in every way
to protect him from himself. and how he
wins in the end. by minute. The play
itself, written by Winchell Smith and
Byron Ongley. is frankly extravagant In
its treatment. as 1t had to be If 1t followed

topsy-turvey millionaire. who rejoices at
expenditures and grieves at gains, is well
represented by Edward Abeles. whose
Monty Brewster Is as perplexed fortu-
nate unfortunate as the hero of the novel
must have been. Mary Ryan played OPP

while Grace Arnold interpreted charming

into life.
The play was enjoyed by large audi
ence.

Belasco.

That 1.-The Girl Of the Golden West"
still has power to charm was evidenced
by the manner in which Blanche Bates,
as the heroine Of Belasco's western dra-
ma, was received by the audience which
filed the Belasco last night. The pro-
duction is practically the same as upon
it's first production three years ago-at
least, in regard to scenic equipment and
mechanical detail: and Miss Bates has
sacrificed nothing Of her original natural
ness and vivacity. The play is one OF
melodramatic intensity and is only pre-
vented from overstepping the bounds of
legitimate dramatic propriety by the skill
of its construction. 1t is rugged play,
but the vivifying spirit Of the girl is all
permeating and renders the sordid CRIME
and dinginess of a frontier saloon and
dancehouse a place wherein may be born
and nurtured spirit which aspires to
higher things.
Cuyler Hastings as Jack Rance, the
gambler sheriff, acquits himself with
credit, although his methods are not those
Of Frank keenan,. who played the part
originally. Charles Millward as the road
agent was in the main acceptable, but
compared to Miss Bates unconstrained
and direct methods his work seemed at
times artificial. :,

Another attractive bill is the offering at

ciplined and best all around appearing en-
CINE company in the local fire department.
Commissioner Mcfarland has received
the report Of the committee on inspec-
ton of the department upon whose show
ing Is awarded EACH year this much-cov-
eted trophy. The committee consisted OF
Messrs. John l.. Weaver, Harry W. Reed
and s. Duncan Bradley, the inspections
having been made last week.

Other Companies CompIimented.
The committee was very liberal in

whose members executed a crcditable
drill. was entitled to second honors.
Engine company No. IS was given third
place. Truck company No. of Con-
gress Heights was named for first place

ton. 1t took only one minute and fifty
two seconds for this boat to get into

tee considers that the discipline Of the
men Is not open to criticism, and 1t
pays compliment to their intelligence
energy, sobriety, healthfulneSs, enthu-
siasm and pride in their work.
THE committee takes occasion to say
that the fire station houses, especially
the older Ones. need much more ex-
tensive repairs than they have had
and it strongly recommends improve
ments, particularly in the roofs and
plumbing. In speaking of this recon-
mendation Commissioner Mcfarland
said it would be very useful in REIN
forcing the estimates Of the Commits
sioners for enlarged appropriations for
repairs"
Arrangements will be made for the
presentation of the trophy flag In few
days.

New Academy.

"At Yale a play of college life, by
Jules Murry. had hearty reception from
a fair-sized audience at the Academy last
night The play. which is In three acts
and five scenes. is laid at Yale before and
during the great race between the Yale
and Harvard crews, with college scenes.
songs and "yells." A pretty love story is
woven into the drama. Dorothy Randall
has many admirers, one among them,
Jack Burly, using many means to gain
her favor. But in the long run Dick
Seeley, the hero and popular student OF
the university, wins out and gets the
prize. The cast is large. and includes
students. foot ball players. oarsmep and
trainers. Ernest H. Baxter, as Dick See
ley, the hero, takes the part well. and
Charles Brabion, as Dave Burly, the vii.
lain, acts the role cleverly. The rest OF
the company Is good. and the play proved
a big treat, though heavy drama roles
and gun play were lacking.
