scored last night that will insure another
crowded week at the Columbia. With its
many character sketches. the play is a
test of the individual strength of the en-
tire company, but its several roles fell
into capable hands last night.
Julia Dean after being for two weeks
more or less withdrawn from the lime
light, has a leading part. as Trixie, IN
My Wife. So charmingly did she por-
tray it that II is likely her Trixie will
be longer remembered than any previous
role which has fallen to her lot. Orme
Caldara also found congenial and ef-
fective vehicle for his splendid talents,
and as Gerald Eversleigh, or ''Guardy,
gave better evidence Of his ability as a
leading man than in his previous roles.
Everett Butterfield, who has been doing
excellent work with the company from
the beginning. again added to his laures
in his Interpretation OF the Hon. Gibson
Gore, contributing very materially to the
comedy of the play. Ethel Wright, as
the Baroness Granclos, made an ex-
cellent French flirt. Thomas Chatterton
also gave good evidence OF his ability. as
Rene Falandres. Alexander F. Frank
as M. Dupre; Clara Sidney. as Nine
