the Columbia

Of all American actresses Lillian
Russell may be said to be the most
popular. Others may rank higher IN

has Lillian. She has won affection and
admiration from a nation OF playgoers.
She appears tomorrow night at the Co
lumbia in a new comedy by Charlotte
Thompson, 'In Search of Sinner" The
author of the comedy was for several
years associated with San Francisco
newspapers and magazines and the
vehicle which she has supplied the
charming Lillian has been big sue

that the idiocy that was rife is giving

MATINEE idol
WEAVES A spell

The second and last week of the
splendid production of "A Matinee
Idol' at the Savoy begins tonight. De
Wolf Hopper and Miss Louise Dresser
have made thousands of new friends
this week and have retained all the
old. Their Offering, provided for an
appreciative public by Daniel V.
Arthur, has caught on" and is prov
ing a record breaker at the Cort the
ater in McAllister street
The supporting cast is excellent
unusually fine. Georgie Mack in the
role of Jimmie Grant is a perfect like
ness, Edward Earle in the juvenile
role Of Dick Allen is one of the best
light comedians seen on the local stage
and Dorothy Webb as little Lucy is A
marvel of grace and charm. The
chorus is large, well gowned and indi-
vidually graceful. De Wolf Hopper has
never had a better role and Louise
Dresser has made the hit of her career
in the role of Mrs. Burton. The entire
company and production are quite
fiawless.
