"THE LITTLE GREY LADY"
Attraction to Be Seen at the Column
bia Next Week.

bia Next week.
''The Little Grey Lady," Claiming
Pollock's delightful comedy OF Washing
ton life, viii be the offering OF the Co
lumbia Players next week. and from
the demands that have already been
made upon the box office of the Column
bia Theater, there is every indication
that local interest will be no less on this
occasion than It was in 1900 when the
cIamor of popular demand was such that
1t became necessary to cancel an engage
ment elsewhere and keep the company
at the Columbia Theater for a second
week In order to accommodate the
crowds that wished TO see this little play.
Mr.. Pollock. before attaining his pres
ent position in the dramatic field, was
q local newspaper man, and here he so
thoroughly familiarized himself with the
scenes that he makes use of in The
Little Grey Lady" that local color fairly
exudes from every scene OF the comedy.
These conditions will be thoroughly am
plifed in the exceptional surroundings
that will be provided for the players
Monday night, as George Rex Wilson has
for some time been making a study OF
the several localities depicted and
scenically. the offering will be more COM
plete than was the original Julia Dean.
the leading lady of the Columbia forces.
who created the role Of Anna Grey in
the original production, will again be
seen In the part next week, and several
OF the popular members OF the company
will be seen in better parts than they
have had for some weeks.

law also is lower than under that OF any
of its predecessors.

thus far is l.1s per cent. that under
