cousin Kate >

The patrons of the Columbia Theater,
al the earnest solicitation of Julia Dean,
whose taste but few if any will care to
question, will have the opportunity next
week of witnessing Cousin Kate in
which Ethel Barrymore has charmed
thousands. The play is a delightful COM
cdy in three acts. and many believe it the
best one ever produced by Herbert Henry
Davis. a dramatist with many attractive
offerings to his credit. 1t was first pro-
duced in New York about five years ago
at the Hudson Theater, and met with
instant success. II held the boards at
the Hudson for many months before ii
taken upon the road. 1t combines
beauty of thought with an interesting
theme and an unfailing supply of high
comedy situations. 1t IS replete with
humorous repartee. Every role in the
comedy is a good one, so that each of
the Columbia Players will have his or her
opportunity. Julia Dean will appear in
Ethel .Barrymores original part of the
title role, while Orme Caldara will be
cast in part that will show his talents
to good advantage. Predictions are made
by players as we'll as the management
that Cousin Kate will be found one
of the pleasantest offerings of the season.
Frederick A. Thompson will personally
supervise the mounting and stage direc-
ton, and the result of his efforts in pre-
vious. productions warrants the belief that
nothing will be wanting in that line.

AUTOIST SPEEDS AWAY FROM
INJURED WOMAN.
Inspector Boardman Urges Law to
Punish Drivers Who Run Away
After Accidents

An automobile knocked down and in

feur hurried away and his number was
not obtained. Miss Morgan was not se-
riously injured. but was removed to the

Inspector Boardman has taken a deep
interest in the affair and instructed the
police of the ninth precinct to do their
best to ascertain the identity of the per-
son who was operating the automobile
The police official says ne is anxious &c
have the person responsible for the acct
dent apprehended and prosecuted. I,
may be. he says. that the operator OF the
machine could not have prevented the
accident.
But added the inspector. "he could
have stopped his machine and assisted
the injured woman. 1t is too bad that
such persons are able to get away
Inspector Boardman says he thinks a
law should be enacted 10 punish automo-
an accident. He will have the members
of the police force do all they can in the
matter Of experimenting the person who
was operating the machine which struck
Miss Morgan. 1t may be that a reward
will be offered for information leading
to his identity.
