more which had not been printed. lnsS
we're met by no objections and We're
therefore agreed to.
One of these raised the salary OF the

beautiful four-act comedy, Mrs. Danes
Defense as the second offering of the
season at the Columbia 'Theater, be-
ginning Monday night the Columbia
Players will have the opportunity of
bringing several of the new members
more prominently to the front. as the
play is to an unusual extent suited to
stock performance, every part in the cast
being good one.
Edward Haas Robins, the new leading
man, will have role commensurate with
his abilities. Doris Woodbridge also will
have an opportunity to display the
qualities upon which her friends place
SO high an estimate. Aline McDermott
will be the real newcomer in the cast,

Frances Nelson will, of course be
