Coming Attractions.
Columbia.

The Colupbia Players at the Columbia
Theater this week will present "Zira.'' a
drama in a prologue and three acts, by
J. Hartley Manners and Henry Miller.
1t was originally produced by the Henry
Miller Stock Company at the Princess
Theater. New York, with Margaret
AngIin In the leading role. The inspira-
ton Of the authors Is said to have been
derived from Wilkie Collins novel 1.-The
New Magdalen.''
The story Of the play concerns a young
woman whose good impulses are mega
lived by her ambition. In the prologue
she is seen as a nurse at the headquar-
tiers of the general commanding the Eng
lish forces in South Africa at the close
of the Boer war. From a dying gentle
woman she appropriates Identification
papers which enable her, on her return
to England, to pass herself off as the
woman described in them. She is well
coined into the English home and be-
comes a beloved inmate by reason of her
many excellent qualities. 1t is at the
time when life seems brightest to her
that the supposed dead woman returns
and confronts her in a scene of intense
dramatic power and interest. The love
interest OF the play IS not the least of its
attractions.
Frances Nelson will be seen in the role
created by Margaret Anglin. The cast
will also include Edward H. Robins, Cod
frey Matthews. george w. Barber, Stan
ley James, Violet Heming, Carrie Thatch-
er. Aline McDermott and others.

are made almost entirely Of laces. en-

inner side Of the brim is trimmed with
velvet bands The large hat may be
wreathed with flowers or with feathers
