The Columbia.

In setting the stage of the Columbia
Theater for the final week OF the
Columbia Players, beginning with
special holiday matinee tomorrow after
noon, on account of Labor Day, the ex-
hilerating scenes in Saratoga have been
requisitioned in the interest of Her
Husbands Wife" that brilliant comedy
that has proved so delightful a satire on
femininity. 1t was written by a. E
Thomas the dramatic editor of the
New York Sun and author of 1.-The
Rainbow" produced by Klaw & Err
LANCER, and staged by Henry Miller.
who also played the wealthy bachelor
uncle, John Belden, in the original pro-
duction at the Garrick Theater. New
York. This role will be played by STAN
ley James tomorrow night, with Ed
ward H. Robins as the abused husband,
Stuart Randolph; and Frances Nelson
as his hypochondriacal wife.
The story of Her Husbands Wife"
is both novel and entertaining. Further
more it shows grip upon things femi-
nine rarely evidenced in the work OF
the dramatist. A young wife has every
thing for which her heart could wish,
and yet is made unhappy by the de-
fusion that she is soon to die. She de-
cides TO select a second wife for her
husband and, quite naturally. picks out
a plain undesirable young woman. Her
'choice falls upon a former fiancee of her
brother who, accepting the responsible
ty. resents having been chosen on ac-
count Of her plain, "dowdy'' appearance,
then sets about fixing up" to make
herself just as attractive as possible
And she succeeds, too, for the husband
succombs, a Irritation ensues and the
wife's Jealousy is aroused The wife
at once sets about undoing what she has
done.
Among other things she confides to her
successor how she has been beaten
by her husband. The successor" goes
to her husband with this choice morsel
Of scandal and he, all that a kind and
considerate husband should be, proceeds
to drown his horrible sorrow in
drink. A brother learns Of the alleged
beating and undertakes to call out the
offender. How the wife disintangles her
injured feelings from the coil which
she herself started and in the process
becomes cured of hypochondria and is
eager to live, furnishes the pathway of
merriment that is gracefully followed to
the happy ending of the play.
