The production of the dainty English
comedy ''lmprudence, said to be one
of Henry V. Esmond's masterpieces.
marked the change of management at the
Columbia Theater last evening. Guy
Standing came over from the Belasco,
bringing with him his pleasing forth
witness. which is declared to be one
OF his most charming characteristics. The
title Of the play might have been i'm
proved upon had it been designated as
Scandal instead of "ImprudAnce' for
throughout its action the seeds of scandal
are energetically sown by feminine hands.
But with the reaping of the harvest came
a most happy denouement. AS an after
thought the comedy was given the second
title of "BillyS Little Love Affair" 1t

illustrates how the more mature master
minds in the modern schools of scandal
may so manipulate matters about the

his efforts to rescue her from the social
vortex. AS in several other plays of
the character of the same sort. the morals
of the aristocracy of Great Britain are
made to suffer in the depictions given in
'Imprudence." The audience was A fair
