The Columbia.

The cast OF The Mysterious Miss
Apache" the new musical comedy to be
given here in the Columbia Theater on
Tuesday afternoon Of this week at a
AIS matinee. Is entirely made up OF the
students OF the Columbia University.
The play was received enthusiastically
by its New York audience. when it was
given there early in March in the Hotel
Astor.
THE Mysterious Miss Apache" is a
two-act comedy. with a plot that is run
ming over with fun and mystery. and
centers around a colonial varsity show
that travels abroad and gets stranded.
in a little town in the Balkan noun
tains. Here the trouble begins, when
one Doyle. a detective. on the trail of
a lot of counterfeiters. suspects the
leading lady of the troupe. whom he
thinks is Miss Apache
However. everything turns out all
right. The leading man, The Modern
Romeo" captivates the heart of an
American heiress. and, of course. she
supplies the stranded company with its
passage money for home and Broad
way.
Many original songs and dance spe-
ciaities are introduced. prominent among
which are a turkey-trot wedding. rag
dances. Russian dances. and a ladder
waltz"
The comedians Of the show, Blaber, as
the detective Doyle; Isbell. as the Count
Tobaseo. and Spalthon. who. by the
way, is a Washingtonian, are remark
ably clever.
The score also contains many catchy
songs and funny dialogues, and these.
with their extravagant scenery and the
elaborate gowns, the Columbia students
have made this last production un-
usually attractive.
