SATIRE STRIKES
TI-MATRIMONY'
Miss Henrietta Crosman Brings
Witty Play by Percy Mac
Kaye to Columbia

What there is that is laughable about
matrimony may be freely laughed at
at the Columbia theater during the
coming fortnight, and Miss Henrietta
Crosman is there to laugh with you
and to stimulate your laughter. Miss
Crosman brings with her Anti -Matri-
mony, Percy MacKaye's latest comedy
Miss Crosman takes the part of Mil
dred, the merry hearted wife of a min
lister in small and Puritanica1 New
England town. Into this austere COM
munity there comes from Europe a
young couple and their infant daugh
ter. The man is related to the minis
ter. The young people were filed with
the free love" philosophy of European
writer's and dramatists. and proclaim
that they are not married. and are
sturdy propagandists of "anti-matri-
mony."
The community is about to have the
scandal of its history, and the precise
clergyman, Mildred's husband, will
surely come in for odium.
But Mildred is there TO prevent any
great scandal. Her daring method is to
fight fire with fire. She announces her
self as convert to the new thought
and apparently is an eager follower of
the cult. From that exciting premise
she can shoot her delightful shafts of
humor at the European propagandists,
and with satire and wit she teaches the
young folks wholesome lesson in
matrimony.
Miss Crosman, with her charming
prettiness and comedy talent, is the
center of the play
Her gowns are said to be wonderful
creations, and add to the attraetiveness
of the production.
The comedy is presented by a cap
able company, including such talented
people as Herbert Fortier. Gordon
JohnStone, Grace Carlyle and Eliza
beth Baker, whom Maurice Campbell
has selected as best fitted to present
MacKaye's charming play most
adroitly.
Percy MacKaye is. of all the younger
American dramatists, gifted with the
most delicate humor and that delight
full quality is shown to it's best advan-
tage in -Matrimony," it Is said
MacKaye is the author OF several dra-
mas, including Joan of Arc" "Sappho
and Phaon," Mater and The Canter-
bury Pilgrims"
In "Anti-Matrimony'' he has jeveI-
oped rollicking comedy idea into an
effective satire on the liberal morals of
certain European writers. and of
course ends the trouble in an American
way.
The play will run at the Columbia
for two weeks. The only matinees will
be on Saturdays.

.HACKETT AT EASE
in 18TH CENTURY
Romantic Actor and Alcazar
Company Promise Fine Pro-
ductiOn of Mons. Beancaire

James Is. Hackett, after success
dustry, will leap back lightly into the
eighteenth century at the AlcaZar the
ater this week and appear as Monsieur
Beaucaire in the dramatization or
Booth Tarkingtons story by that name.
for which his romantic talent is undis-
putably fitted The play is favorite
with Hackett and it's charm has made
it ever popular with play goers. 1t was
adapted by Harrington and Evelyn
Greenleaf Sutherland from a French
story The late Richard Mansfield
found it one of his most successful
plays. 1t is the Mansfield version that
Hackett has adopted. and his perform
ance of the dashing part has ever won
him friends
The story is decidedly romantic.
Beaucaire is the duke dOrleans trav-
cling in England incognito, and when
the play opens he is sojourning in the
circles of the court of George ii. He
enjoys adventure more than the formal
dignity of court and passes his time
during the five acts of the play mas
querading as hair dresser in the serv-
ice of the French ambassador, as a
spurious French nobleman, and then,
only at the end, coming forth in his
true character. In the first act he ap-
pears at Bath and is driven out of
polite society with the brand of a
barber upon him. In the second act
there is a card scene in which Beau
caire detects the duke of Winterset
cheating at the game and compels the
duke, as price of secrecy, to intro
duce him to Lady Mary Carlisle. the
toast of the town In the third act
there is a duel in which Hackett's skill
in swordsmanship is demonstrated.
Beaucaire has a duel with Captain
Badger, a hireling of Wintersets, wins
the bout and is rewarded with red
rose by the lady. In the fourth act
there is lots of excitement. Beaucaire
wins the lady's hand gallantly, is be-
trayed to he's by Winterset, is wounded
in a fight and is again exposed as
Beaucaire, the hair dresser. Affairs
could not be worse when the curtain
falls But, of course, it all clears up
in the final act, when at reception
in honor of the French ambassador
Beaucaire has an interview with his
fair lady love, in which she casts aside
her pride and vows her love for him.,
whomsoever he might be, and then 1T
all ends happily, for before the curtain
falls his true identity is established.
In the cast will be Miss Beatrice
Beckley as Lady Mary, Arthur Hoops
as the duke of Winterset, Will r. Wall
ing as Major Molyneaux, Catherine Cal
houn as Lucy, and others of the efficient
Alcazar stock company in appropriate
roles.
The costuming will do full Justice to
which period the lines of the drama

By Hon. Edward F. Poorman,
On the battlefield of Gettysburg almost half century
ago. Abraham Lincoln delivered short address of ten
fences The OCCASION Lincoln himself said, not
merely the dedication of part of that battle-ground
national cemetery That had already been accomplished
when soldiers baptized the field with their fes blood
and rendered it hallowed ground forever.
Then, why all that crowd gathered there? For
element? Why did President Lincoln leave the White
House and go all the way to Gettysburg? Just to make
a speech?
Nay nay! Lincoln had some great object in vew-some
greater purpose, even, than the dedication of national
cemetery. What it? What could it be?
Listen to the golden words that fell that day from the
lips of the immortal Lincoln:
cit is for the living rather to be dedicated here
the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus
far noby advanced It rather for be here ded
Gated to the great task remaining before that

Wouldn't this be great land to live in if nobody but
