MISS Harmed IS
A MERRY WIDOW
Star Beams Brightly in Role of
RecOnciled ReIict at the
AICazar

For her second week at the Alcazar
theater. beginning tomorrow night,
Virginia Harmed will present eAn
American Widow" a three act comedy
by Kellett Chambers. The play will
have its first presentation in San Fran
cisco and is said to be a splendid We
hicle for the inclusive ability of the
noted actress. In the comedy Miss
Harmed assumes the character OF Mrs.
Elizabeth Killigrew, the youthful relict
OF an aged millionaire-a role as far
removed from the nature of Anna Ka-
renina as the poles. Mrs. KiIligrew is
as charming and gay as Anna was SOM
Der and fascinatingly sad.
All of the characters in the comedy
are native to the United States save
one The scenes are laid in New. York.
The exceptional alien is a British for
tune hunter. the earl of Dexminister,
and he is one of Mrs. Killigrew's nu-
merous admirers. She faVors him. too.
because she wants to shine as an aris-
tocrat and has high social aspira tions.
Among his rivals is Putney KiIligrew,
her nephew by marriage. Still another
suitor is Teddy Bacon. blase society
rounder She refuses Putney's pro-
posal in the first act; then comes Bacon
with Jasper Mallory, an opera composer
who, having failed to get his work a
hearing. is woefully attired, his per-
sonal appearance being apparently the
last thing he has given a thought to.
They all clamor for the hand of the
widow, who, after she has finally got
rid of them, is visited by the family
lawyer, Augustus Tutwiler. He advises
her against the earl Just then she is
presented with an envelope, which has
been found by a servant in a coat which
the late Killigrew wore. 1T contains a
codicil to his will, which provides that
in case she remarries and chooses any
man but an American she loses her for
tune, which win then revert to nephew
Putney. The triumph of the earFs op-
ponents is short lived, however, for she
points out 10 them that she may marry
an American, divorce him and then wed
the nobleman, for the codicil says moth
ing concerning the choice Of a third
husband She promises to produce the
composers opera il he will undertake
legally to loan her his name for short
while. 1t is done and after the mar
riage ceremony the couple separate.
After four months they all meet
again. Mallory's opera has been a great
success and he entertains at his bun
galow in the Catskills. There his wife
falls in love with him and he with her,
and so the earl goes away TO Pittsburg
to seek some other heiress.
Miss Harmed was led to adopt the
bright comedy by the success il. scored
in New York and because of the oppor-
tunities it affords her for the display
of her talents as coincidence Will
liam Courtenay is nicely fitted to the
role of Mallory, the composer, and the
members of the Alcazar company are
well bestowed in congenial roles.

COLLIER Is CURE
FOR THE BLUES
William the First, Comedian,
Reigns at Columbia Over
Laugiiland

If you do not laugh at William Col
lier and his clever comedy. "A Lucky
Star" it's a sign you need a doctors
care. Collier remains as funny as ever
he was, with his inimitable methods
and his original style. His company is
competent and his vehicle is a perfect
fit. This will be the last week of Col
lier's stay in San Francisco, and the
business at the Columbia proves the
stars popularity with play goers.
great deal of the brightness in
William Golfers play, "A Lucky star"
is the result of extenlporaneous bub-
bling of the Collier wit and there is
scarcely a performance in which he
does not get away from the written
lines of the comedy and introduce
something new to convulse the mem
bers of his supporting company as well
as his audience. Among the profession
it is generally known that in order to
play in a Collier farce one must be
nimble witted. There is no cut and
dried method with Collier-he rarely
gives the same cue to his fellow
players.
For this season the farceur tries
to keep the same company with him
year after year. There are at present
nine players on tour in "A Lucky STAR
who have appeared with Collier for
the last 10 seasons
The other night at the Columbia
theater during the quiet love scene

one night at the Hudson theater in
New York the star instructed the actor
playing the waiter to serve merry
box party with a portion of the eggs
used in the breakfast scene. OF course
the eggs were refused, and as the
waiter brought them back to the table
the scintillating shaft was, You have
missed the chance of a lifetime Eggs
seldom come from this side of the
footlights"

Collier<is the only American comedian
who has achieved success in London.
In fact he is so popular on the other
side of the Atlantic that Charles Froh-
man was considering the advisability
of allowing him to play an annual
season in London as he does in New
York. The word Collierism is almost
common enough to have become an es-
tablished noun. Here are a few Col
lierisms:
"A good farce can have several good
finishes. but there is only one finish
to bad one
"A good play can fill any playhouse,
butsit takes lot of bad plays to fill
storehouse."
