Columbia.

Mrs. Fiske is to appear In her latest
success. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh." at the
Columbia this week, with a matinee Sat
urday only. The play Is an American
comedy by Harry James Smith. Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh' was found by its first
night audience in New. York to be light
in texture, original and amusing. 1t dis
closed distinct elements of novelty in
plot and construction, and freshness
in dialogue that kept the wits of the
auditor constantly on the qui vive.
Mrs. Fiske's role is unique in the au-
thors drawing, as it certainly is in Mrs
Fiske's visuaiization. 1t is unlike any
other to which her gifts have ever been
addressed. The part. like the play, is
full of surprises, the majority of them
in comedy. some of them in an almost
farcical vein. 1t would dun the edge of
anticipation to tell the eplay's story, so
suffice it to say that it is the recital of
social climb conceived and engineered
by woman of remarkable resourceful-
ness and cleverness. This woman. Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh. nee Della Sayles.
seemingly the ne plus ultra of feminine
English swelldon, in reality the daughter
of a departed" patent medicine manu-
facturer in Indiana, triumphs over all
manner of obstacles, oftentiWes by sheer
audacity. but is finally overwhelmed by q
cataclysm that is one of the principal
and at the same time most richly humor-
our incidents of the play.
The title role is one of extraordinary
variety and one which presents new
Mrs. Fiske. The. supporting company.

the French tailors they were far from

once the actors were clad in the enor-
NOUS headpieces and the protecting breasts
and tails. II was found that even the
slightest movement appeared conspicuous,
and that when the stage became crowded

around without colisions. For instance
