the Columbia Theater tomorrow night.
Since Mr.. Lorraine interrupted his
American tour to present this brightest
of all George Bernard Shaw's comedies

recognized by London critics as one OF the
most brilliant of England's young come

Louis Mason, Hilton Allen, William Nc

with Renee Kelly to play the role of Ann;

Miss Marlowe are repeating their former
tIfumphs.
1t is unnecessary to present much intro

MYSTERY SOMETIMES PAYS.-Cu-

manager profits through his ability to
play upon the former so far as the play

CHINESE GET IT IN NECK TWICE

The fleet had a great day on the
diamond at Athletic Park yesterday,
the two crack Chinese teams going
down in succession before them.
The All-Chinese went down before
the Colorado, to l, and the Chinese
Athletic Union succumbed to the West
Virginians, 2 to l.
A good-sized crowd was present and
the proceeds went to the travelling
fund of the all-Chinese team which
will shortly visit the mainland, the
fund being enriched some $500 by
yesterdays game.
The good twirling of Henning and
the errorful playing of the Chinese
were responsible for the victory OF
the Colorado nine.
The West Virginia nine won their
game in the second inning. Ayau
muffed Daniels fly and the former got
to first. Lenhoff was hit by pitcher
and Wettengel forced Daniels dt
third. Gingrass died at first. Quin
