Columbia Company Hits
Right Note in Its Mid
Summer Production.
TRIUMPH SCORED
BY BUTTERFIELD
Missing Members of Company
Find Capable Substitutes Wei
come for Miss Luckett.

"Charley's Aunt" was a happy selec-
ton for presentation by the Columbia
players for the first week after the de-
parture Of Miss Julia Dean and Orme
Caldara- The regret at their absence
was for the time forgotten amid the
funny lines of this English farce
comedy. And in this offering their
presence was not essential
The play comes dangerously near. be-
ing one without a hero or a heroine.
and the nearest approximation to that
requirement is the make believe
Charley's Aunt" the one from
Brazil, where the nuts come from -
Last nights performance was very
clearly a triumph for the actor who
took that role-Everett Butterheld.
Probably not one Of the large audience
that honored the company by its
presence on one of the warmest nights
of the season would deny that Butter
field was funny, and breathed the spirit
OF com sdy. Some might believe that he
would nave been even more effective If
ha had made his wOmanly disguise
more like woman in several situations.
II would be hard to find players TO
take the place OF the missing members
Of the company. but highly capable
substitutes were introduced. An in
PRODUCTION was hardly needed for Miss
Edith Luckett. who is well known to
Nashington's younger set, as well as
10 Washington playgoers. As the or
phan. she had one Of the more serious
roles. and made the most Of slender op-
portunities. Miss Louise Reed comes 10
us as Kitty Vefdun, and upon her and
Miss fChatterton a large part of The ac-
ton Afell. Both deserve praise. and
patrons Of the Columbia We're especial
~ glad TO find Miss Chatterton in a
part where the demands upon her were
IN keeping with the promise she has
shown during the stock season.
Two more new faces We're seen when

ing OF the spurious aunt on many

me play was fitting selection for
late summer production. It appeals
70 many as one of the most uproar-
iOusly funny OF all modern English
farce comedies 1t may not bear
analysis very closely as to the brand
of all its humor, but il is rather un-
usual in that II depends upon a cap
able company of fun-makers rather
than upon the efforts Of one or two
comedians. True. Mr.. Butterfield has
the heaviest end of the burden, but
aside from his work the production
calls for species OF team work" not
always demanded by modern comic
onerinEs. This feature has been ex-
ceiiently worked out under the direc-
ton OF Frederick Thomson.
The performance last night was
marked by unusual smoothness for n
nrst night production.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the West" Is
a Live-Wire Thriller.

THE Gambler Of the Vest Is a thrill
er every minute. Il abounds in gun
play and sensational features, but is
not so overdravn as TO be unreal.
The plot centers around the advsn-
lures of young girl, whose father has
been killed by Indians. Her brother
has also been captured by the same
tribe and the plot hinges on her efforts
10 free her brother. Through the as
sistance of Lucky Jack Gordon she ac-
composites her purpose. Her stem
brother Is the villain Of the play.
Real Indians and careful staging give
genuine Western atmosphere 10 the
piece. The scenery in particular is
carefully done in every detail Though
tire piece has been on the road only a
short time it is performed with marked
smOOthness.
George Kennedy, as the hero, Lucky
Jack, bids fair to be a matinee idol ali

that IT was customary to work seven

Barracks for Spanish Soldiers.

The lot Of the Spanish soldier, even
in times of peace. Is far from envi-
able, for his food. lodging and cloth
ing are Of the poorest. AS regards
barracks the Spanish army is certain
ly the worst equipped in Europe. and
this fact was practically admitted by
Senior Sagasta when he was premier
A deputation waited on him to pro-
test against the unfair manner in
which the law as to obligatory army
service was enforced. SO that any one
with ESQ to spare can evade this duty
The premier admitted that the prin-
ciple Of redemption from military serv-
ice was illegal and that all healthy
male adults should be required to
serve but he added, "the majority of
our barracks are in such bad condt-
ton that we cannot expect the sons Of
respectable parents to live in them"
