Coming Attractions.
Columbia,

Arthur Wing Pinero's fantastic three-act
comedy, "The Amazons," will be elaborate
ly revived tomorrow evening and presented
throughout the coming week by the Column
bia Theater Company, including both Miss
Hilda Spong and Miss Charlotte Walker.
The world seems topsyturvy in this whim-
steal comedy and that's one reason why it
was SO thoroughly enjoyed when originally
produced about thirteen years ago at the
London Court Theater and under the au-
spices of Daniel Frohman in this country
by his famous Lyceum Theater Company:
All the girls in the piece are mannlsn
until they fall in love. 1t is an idea as ola
as the classic fables, but worked In happy
fashion into a comedy with modern SET
tings by Pineros master hand it is an
irresistibly funny story, told win an
abundance of good situations and bright,
sparkling dialogue. The plot is based on
the desire OF the Marchioness OF CASTE
jordan, an English lady, to outwit the real
condition of her life and famll y. Ihat eN-
celent. but eccentric, lady is so uisap-
pointed at having no sons that she prHhss
up her three charming daughters as !ouns
gentlemen, clothing them in shooting
Jackets and knckerboclers and teaching
them boys sports instead of the accom-
plishments of the drawing room:

means that the daughters take their pet
ticoats and settle down into the demurest
and loveliest of engaged girls, I'm the doing
of which they insure the happiness OF the
three young men who have been quite
successful entertainers as the girls. 1t Is
pure old comedy throughout. with not q
trace of the farcical element, and the
separate characters stand out like canoes.
Miss Hilda Spong. Miss Charlotte Walker

this week as the three daughters-Noeline,

originally created In the London production
by Miss Lily Hanbury, Miss Ellaine Ter

THE Amazons" is regarded as one OF
Pineros cleverest comedies. Although It
was presented to the public several months
earlier than Pinero's Second Mrs Tan
queray" he may be said to have written
this merry little play by way OF relaxation
after the more serious mental effort in
volved in the composition of the famous
drama which tells the tragic story OF
Paula. 1t may be regarded as an evidence
of the authors versatility. In The Anna
IONS he attempts no criticism of life, and
seeks to solve no problem of morality,
sociology or psychology. In it he merely
permitted himself to daily with the man
nsh woman" idea in the lightest, gentlest
spirit of satire and the most whimsical mood
of romance. In the Tangle of Overcote
Park, where the scene is first laid, we seem
to hear the distant laughing echoes of
Acadia and recognize the descendants of
Rosalind and Orlando. The events CT the
play occur during a single day in fine Sep
TENDER. Although THE Amazons' was
produced by Daniel F'rohman tie unosten-
tacously at his New York Lyceum Theater
it's triumph was immediate. The freshness,
delicate humor and unconventionaiity OF the
piece and the quaint prettlness of the girls
masculine attire captivated New York play
goers and The Amazons' became the talk

Arden must regretfully say adieu will no

best.
In Captain Swift" Mr.. Arden appears as
an Australian highwayman and hold-up
man. who, after a sensational career In the
antipodes seeks to start life anew by re-
turning to England. the home of his boy

seems to be very important matter, oc-

complish this object have been registered
with the patent office. Some of them are
rather complicated and elaborate pieces of

for the purpose either because CT the eX
