II E TIL EAT E R.
/" ~
Columbia,

The successful efforts Of a Hungarian
count and an English lord to win the affec-
tons of two American girls Of distinctly
different characteristics form the ground
work on which is built Clyde Fitch play,
1.-The Stubbornness Of Geraldine as pre-
scented at the Columbia Theater last even
ing by the summer stock company. The
opening scene depicts In a realistic manner
the cabin deck Of an ocean liner bound
for America Among the passengers are
Count Carlos kinsky. a young nobleman
from Budapest, who for certain reasons is
travelling under an assumed name. and Lord
Tnbury, hesitating and rather thick
Englishman. who falls a ready victim to
the refreshing westernisms Of Miss vi
Thompson, a rollicking and unconventional
girl from dear old Butte, Mont"
The sorrowful Count Kinsky, who has fol-
lowed Geraldine Lang, the other American
girl, from London, finds an opportunity on
the romantic moonlight with Geraldine. to
tell her of his affection for her. Like many
of the real foreign counts. he Is financially
embarrassed, but, unlike the real article
money, so he sets out after his arrival in
New York to form stock company to ex-
plot the product Of his vineyards In Hum
gary, and thus gain financial standing
He is afterward charged with fraud and
being an imposter. but Geraldine stubborn
ly refuses to believe the charges that have
Deen mace against MS name ana nOnOr.
In the meantime vi Thompson succeeds in
completely winning Lord Tilbury. who is
fascinated with her breezy western manner,
and the denouement finds Count kinsky
fully exonerated from Inc charges that
were made against him, and the accepted
sutton of Geraldine.
Miss Hilda Spong, as Geraldine Lang, was
better than her part. The play, which was
distinctly Fitch, was of sufficient depth for
Miss Spong's deep emotional acting, which
at three stages of the performance at least
called forth encores to which she res
sponded.
Miss Charlotte Walker also won deserved
ecomiums in her part Of vi Thompson, the
vivacious girl from Butte, Mont. Her act
night play. She captivated the audience
by her portrayal of the brisk and business
like womanhood of the far west, and was
given several hearty encores
The success of 1.-The Stubbornness of Ger
aldne" depends very largely upon the in
depreciation given the several parts by
those in the cast and 1t can be said that
the Columbia stock company interpreted
F,itch's creation in most pleasing manner
giving a sparkling effect to dialogues and
passages that in other hands might have
proven dull. Guy Coombs, who scored
success as Little Billie in ''Trilby," was
acceptable as Count Kinsky, whose lack
caused him much trouble and embarrass-
ment. Herbert Mckenzie presented In a
most amusing manner the eccentricities and
oddities of speech and manner of the hesi-
tating Lord Tilbury. The others in the
cast who deserve favorable mention are
Miss Effie Darling, Miss Frances Younge,
Miss Alice Parks Warren, Miss Dorothy
Hammack, Miss Fanny Hartz, Miss Edith
Luckett, William Lamp, George CASTOR,
Guy Nichols and Robert Wood.

of the building trades present held a heart
to-heart discussion to affiliation, past
and present. Delegates Wolfe of the brick
layers pointed out that the members of his

trades controversy, but it was expressed
last nigh, that the time had come for it to
