"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch. -

Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch
comes to the Columbia for New Year
week. The dramatization of Mrs. Rice's
stories, Mrs. Wigs and Lovely Mary"
met with popular favor In Mrs. Wigs
herself. Miss HaZy, Lovely Mary and Mr..
Stubbins the play presents four types,
each one of which remains firmly fixed in
the most pleasant recollections of the
playgoer. The character of Mrs. Wigs,
the optimst and philosopher of the Cab
bage Patch takes rank with many of the
prominent comedy creations heretofore
presented upon the American stage. A
close second for popularity is the char
acter of Mis- Hazy. the forlorn and lugu-
brious spinster, in which the dramatist
has evolved something new and ikable
in the psychology of the unmarried. The
juvenile element in the stories of Mrs
Rice is decidedly happy in it's humorous
appeal, and plays an equally delightful
part in the play. Asia, European and
Australia and Billy Wigs; Chris. Hazy,
with his wooden leg; Pete and the other
sons and daughters of the Patch make
the scenes bright and merry with the
play and sunshine of childhood.
