THE COLUMBIA.
Asalomy Jane,

The Columbia Players appeared last
night IN paul Armstrong; dramatization
OF Bret Harte's famous story, ''salomy
Jane"
So far as the play is concerned. and
while proper credit should be given Mr..
Armstrong for his finely actable version,
it must be admitted that the art Of Bret
Harte is really the foundation of the
thing. The characters are his, the incl
dents his, and the atmosphere his. No
American writer has excelled him in the
depletion Of life in early California, and
many are the playwrights indebted TO
him. some frankly acknowledging the
fact. as IN the present instance, and some
otherwise.
OF course, judging entirely from the
conditions surrounding life in the East.
and perhaps in the present West. these
stories and plays seem melodramatic, but
they are not really so, for we have the
evidence Of not only conscientious his
torians, but also that OF actual partiei-
pants in and eyewitnesses TO these stir
ring scenes.
This week Mr. Walter Wilson comes to
the fore with a fine character sketch. i'm

Playing opposite him was Violet Vivian

she added only another well conceived

HEART AND HOME TALKS.
Being Too Amiable.

In discussing very prominent states
man who has failed TO come up TO the
expectations of his friends the criticism
was made. "Amiability was his undoing. -
He is extremely good-natured kind,
obliging. Consequently he is popular
and has hosts of friends. These were ex-
peeting great things of him. But when
the test Of public life came he failed TO
make good, His very good nature was
his undoing.
Most OF US Ike the good-natured per-
son, and good nature is held up as a trait
to be cultivated. But there are two kinds
OF good nature, flabby amiability that is
good nature because it is the easiest
thing. the good nature that has under
meath its genial exterior nrmness and

In order of precedence, first mention

the Greet Players have been so unlucky
in their choice of one-act plays for cur

they have tried here had any merit-and
that one appealed more through its NOR

merit OF the piece.
