The CoIumbia-''The Price"

The much-heralded metropolitan sue

will be presented at the Columbia Thea

Of one week, with the usual matinees on

to reveal in her latest character study

Theater, which has just terminated.
marked the zenith Of popularity TO which
this brilliant star has yet attained.
The Price" by George Broadhurst. de-
rlves its name from the old adage that
every one who dances must pay tho
piper. II has in the primary plot four
people-an artist, his wife, his secretary,
and a doctor friend. The artist and his
wife are badly mated. They quarrel con-
tinually. Into this household comes the
attractive young secretary, who quickly
! wins the love OF the artist. She believes
she has a like attachment for him until
the advent of the doctor reveals to her
that her feelings for the artist are not
those Of genuine love. but rather OF
gratitude for his kindness and admira-
tion for his genius. The plot moves rap
idly along until the revelation by the sec
retary of her love for the doctor kills the
artist by its shock.
After this tragic event the doctor mar
ries the secretary. They are very happy.
A year later the widow of the artist is
taken into their home as housekeeper in
spite Of the protest Of the wife, who
fears her. She Immediately poisons the
mind of the wife against the husband
and convinces her that he Is holding
clandestine trysts with a young girl who
is his ward and is making her home
with them. When the doctor learns of
the trouble the widow has been causing,
he determines to discharge her. This Is
doctor that his wife had been the mis-
tress of her late husband. and seemingly
she proves the accusation by reading
from the diary the artist had kept. The
Puritan training of the doctor is shocked
by this revelation. He is prevented from
casting of his wife only through fear
of the scandal Il would create. Suddenly
1t dawns on him that the shock caused
the death OF the artist. He filings his
wife from him and leaves the house
This scene leads to the unexpected de-
nouement of the day. but before the

BeIascO-Sam BERNARD, in 'THe
Came from Milwaukee,

Sam Bernard, admittedly one OF the
really funny men OF the American stage,
will make his first appearance In this
city at the Belasco Theater this week.
He will be seen in the Messrs. Shuberts
production of He Came From MIIwau-
kee." the book of whIcn comes from
Mark Swan and Edgar Smith, the lyrics
from Edward Madden. with music COM
posed by Melville Ellis, Ben NJ. jerome,
and Louis A. Hirsch.
Mr.. Bernard's new play. which Is said
to be as delightfully."- funny as any Of
its predecessors, comes TO US with the
Endorsement of two engagements on
Broadway. both of which were played
at the Casino TheateT. Mr.. Bernard $
nImble tongue is said to have lost none
Of its cunning in his new play, and he
has made no truce with the English Ian
guage, for in He Came from MiIwau-
kee," he is said to attack II with that
same daring Teutonic intrepidity which
has helped TO make his name famous
as a dialect comedian OF the first quality.
In He Came from Milwaukee," Mr..
Bernard assumes the role OF a brewer
from that city travelling in France.
where he strikes up a friendship with the
Duke OF Zurach, a personabIe young
monarch, who is pestered on the one
hand by revolutionists and on the other
by a matchmaking American mother.
To avoid certain embarrassments he in
dUces the brewer to impersonate roy
atty, the duke for the time being assum-
ing the identity of his travelling com
psnIon. Thus II will be seen that up
to this point the plot reveals a coher-
ent shory which promises well in the
working out OF the ludicrous situations,
which are bound to follow.
Mr.. Bernard's supporting company in
cludes Nella Bergen, Alice Gordon,
Anna Wheaton, Louise Mink. John J..
Cain, George Baldwin, Billy CASTOR, Henry
Norman. Charles G. Burrows, as well
as the famous New York Casino beauty
chorus. The usual Wednesday and Sat-
urday matinees will be given during this
