The Seven Sisters" that charming
comedy of Hungarian domestic life from
the pen OF Ference Herezeg. adapted for
the English stage by Edith Ellis, and
admirably presented by Charles Cherry
and Daniel Frohmans Lyceum Theater
Company, returned to the Columbia last
night, to receive the same hearty greet
ing that welcomed 1t as a delightful en-
tertainment when seen here last spring.
Bubblng over with the infectious spirit
of youth, teeming with wholesome fun
and situations that never lag, this comedy
we'll deserves the success 1t has attained.
The story deals with the efforts OF a
widow to marry off her seven daughters
in the proper sequence of their ages, such
being the custom of the country. Katin-
ka, the oldest, is all ready for matrlmony,
the only thing lacking being a husband,
when Mici, the fourth and most attract
i've sister, returns home in grown up
clothes after having been expelled from
a convent. The Mortified mother imme-
diately puts her in girls clothes and re-
duces her years to fourteen. Mici has
been aided on her journey by a young
officer. Count Horkoy, with whom she
promptly falls in love. Horkoy comes to
the widows house, and finding Mici in
short skirts, enters into a compact with
her to marry of her three sisters in their
proper order. He succeeds in marrying
Katinka to a colonel of Hussars, a Baron

tells her that her place is with him,
in which statement she finally agrees.
Mr.. Cherry, finished actor as ne is,
gives a capital performance as Horkoy,
investing the role with the true spirit Of
comedy and making a most attractive
figure of the gallant count. Playing op-
posite him. as Mici, is Jean Murdoch, "a
new and most welcome addition to the
ranks of leading women. Miss Muir
doch's Mici is charming creature, and
a success in every sense OF the word.
The supporting company Is uniformly
excellent and includes Mrs Stanbope
Wheatcroft, the widow. as Mrs Gyur-
kovics; Wilfred Draycott. as the Colonel;
Reginald Mason, as Sandorffy, and Gas

programme. Although the age of the
bicycle has passed, acts of this char
acter are always pleasing, and the Five

AS a sort OF diversion from the comedy,
song, and dance on the bin, J. Warren

His ability to manipulate cards and

THE Lady, Buccaneers" playing to a
capacity house last night, won favor
through the inability Of John C. Han
son to find a nose. The plot OF the bur
lesaue-which was in reality a two-act
burfetta-concerns the sufferings of Fritz

men, OF an obnoxious nasal. organ. His
various difficulties gave Eva Thatcher,
Barry Melton, Madeline Rowe, and Grace

OF Welsser and Hunter, brought down
the house with their own peculiar IN
depreciation of the Mysterious Rag"
which was carried to a successful con-
clusion by means OF green lights and
weird whistling. The Lansings, a muscu-
lar couple, furnished an athletic novelty
that was beyond reproach.
VThe final act introduced a department
store scene, wherein Madeline Rowe
scored an unquestioned triumph. Miss
Rowe. with a clear. sweet-toned con-
traltoss won the audience by her singing
and materially assisted Mr.. Hanson in

CRUISER ORDERED -
TO GET WAR NEWS
TurcO-Italian Advices Con-
fuse State Department.

The scout cruiser Chester. of the United
States navy, has sailed from Malta for
TripoIi to gather first-hand information
regarding the Turco-Italian conflict. Dur
ing the last few days the officers OF the
State Department have received a mass
of contradictory information !from the
scene of the war. Dispatches from Turk
ish sources charge that the italian
troops have massacred defenseless won-
en- and children. The Italian govern
ment officially denies these statements.
Since the Turkish government has laid
before the State Department a formal re-
quest for Intervention by the United
States on humanitarian grounds, the
necessity for accurate first-hand infor-
nation as to the rea conditions existing
in Tripoli is more acute. 1t is expected
that a report from Commander Benton
c. Decker, commanding officer of the
Chester, will be received in a few days.
Secretary of State Knox, who is ab-
sent from the city, will take no action
upon Turkeys request for Intervention
for several weeks. 1t is supposed here
that similar requests have been made by
the Ottoman government to the European
powers, who have a more, vital interest,
both commercially and politically in the
Turco-ItaHan conflict than has the Unit
cd States. Mr.. Knox, it is expected, will
follow the traditional policy of the Unit
ed States, which has been to avoid en-
tanglement in the political 'quarrels Of
Europe
officers Of the Italian Embassy emphat-
icaIly deny the reports of alleged massa-
Cres and unhuman treatment of women
and children. They also deny that the
Turkish troops have retaken TripoIi. The
embassy received a dispatch yesterday
from the Italian foreign office. saying
that the Turkish troops had made no
serious resistance to the occupation of
Tripoli, and that cholera is raging among
