Columbia Theater.

The Virginian,'' by Mr.. Owen Wistcr
and the late Kirke La Shelle. will be
presented at the Columbia Theater to-
morrow night. In the development of the
theme Mr.. Wister has produced a play
which deserves to be called the ideal west
ern comedy drama of America. The COM
ical incidents and the dry humor Of the
cowboys are all in gay dialogue. The
character of the Virginian is familiar to
many. The tall, deliberate cowpuncher.
with his dark complexion, his belt and
gun. his superficial slowness and his SUBJ
stantial good sense. wins his audience.
Molly Wood. the dainty little school mis-
tress from Vermont, is self-wiled. ener-
getic. capriciouS, a little prone to play
with the heart of the Virginian. Tram
pas, who is so thoroughly detestable a
character in the novel, is even more so
In the dramatization, and though his
manner is by no means bloodthirsty or
his style melodramatic. his presence lends
to the production the necessary excite
ment and interest. The loyal but mis-
guided Steve is sure to win the sympa-
thy of the audience. The kirke La Shelle
Company has spared no expense to give
the theater-g going public first-class pro-
duction with a company of well known
New York players. among whom is W.
S. Hart. who has achieved many New
York successes and who is remembered
for his recent work in THE SQuaw Man"

Henschel, the first conductor of the or
