Charles Cherry and Miss Laurctte
Taylor in .sThe Seven Sisters

Every ingredient necessary in the prep
aration OF a theatrical entertainment de-
signed merely to entertain-humor, color,
action. spirit, and romance-has been
blended with utmost nicely of proportion
in the farce. The Seven Sisters" which
captivated a large audience at the Co
lumbia Theater last evening-an audience
distinguished by the presence of Presi-
dent Taft and a number of other official
and social dignitaries.
The Seven Sisters is one of the few
foreign comedies surviving the various
processes necessary to their transmission
TO the English stage. Taken from the
original Hungarian OF Ference Herczegh.
translated into English by Ferike Boros,
and adapted for its present exposition
by Miss Edith Ellis, this delightful little
play has been staged with the usual ex-
quiSite taste by Daniel Frohman and
placed in the hands of a company of real
players. The result Is like the Hunga-
rian goulasch served in our restaurants
version. retaining enough of its national
flavor to be different from our blunt. I'M
