THE COLUMBIA.
"GIrIs."


The Columbia Players opened the sec
ond week OF the summer stock season
with Clyde Fitch's clever comedy. Girls. ."
which was very successfully used during
the last regular season. As IS usual upon
opening night. or. indeed. upon any other
night an overhowing audience was in
evidence.
The play easily takes rank with the
best of modern comedies, and In all re-
spects is fully up 20 the usual caliber Of
the noted playwright. especially In the
comedy sense. 1t IS clever in dialogue.
consistent in action. with plenty Of
character and humorous incidents Per-
haps no play Of its class would be better
suited 10 the capabilities Of a summer
stock comedy. and certainly none would
be more prolific Of entertainment for the
audience. Last night it was we'll pre-
sented and greatly enjoyed. Il is all
about a group Of girls who start out by
protesting themselves man-haters. but
who wind up by each taking unto her
self a husband.
The company worked the comedy UP IN
fine eshape. the effectiveness increasing
as the action progressed. Miss Emelie
Melville especially distinguished herself
as Lucille Purcelle, the impressionable
elOcutionist of doubtful age. The girls
were portrayed by Bessie Toner. as Pa
mela, Phyllis Sherwood. as Violet, and
Edna Hale Smith, as Kate. while the
men concerned were impersonated by
Paul McAllister, as Edgar Holt. CASTOR
Bell, as Frank Loot. and Walter Wilson.
as George Sprasue. while others appear
/ ing were Grace Sherwood. Arthur Richie.
Stanley James. Mahlor Hamilton. James
! II. Morrison. and Frank shannon.
