C0LUMBIA-"KATE BARTON'S TEMP
TATION."

To many patrons of the popular
priced theatres who have grown weary
OF the excuses of many latter-day
'thrillers," the presentation of such a
play as Kate Barton's Temptation"
will always be welcome. In this play
the crudity and exaggeration habitual
to melodramas of its class were largely
and r~efreshingly lacking.
The play, which was written by
Thomas H. Sewell, was greatly APP
plauded by the large audiences at both
performances. The locale of the story
is the Bowery section of New York.

Mr.. Holzhauer and his partner were
persistent in seeing nothing but evil in
the bill. 1t would. hey declared, pro-
hibit the sale of paregoric. They were
informed that their objections were cor
rect so far as the original bill was con-

nothing of the sort. They refused to
see 1t, however.

The method in which the enemies of
the bill attacked it was somewhat cir
cuitous. The bill was not complete,
they said. There were drugs that were

on third reading before making their
objections they said that they had not
known of the public hearing given by
the judiciary committee of the House.
The hearing was advertised in the

DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

There is just one disappointing fea-
ture about the current engagement OF
Louis James and his splendid com
psny in the Detroit opera house, and
-that is It's brevity. Discriminating
playgoers would gladly see more OF
such able opponents of the dramatic
art In its subtle forms, and 1t is. there
fore, to be regretted that Mr.. James
schedule of dates permits him TO re-
main with us for but three nights. So
we must be content with half loaf.
The engagement opened Thursday
evening with the presentation of one
OF the jolliest of Shakespeare's come
dies, THE Merry Wives of Windsor,
and In passing 1t may be noted that
this is the first time in many seasons
that this particular comedy has been
produced locally. The Sir John Fail
staff Of Mr.. James was most artistic
protrayal. There is nothing about the
character itself to elicit ones admira-
ton, but one cannot refrain from ap.
rlauding the skill manifested In its
delineation by master.
Mr.. James Falstaff is probably an
