Columbia.

If there was any one in the large audi
ence crowded into the Columbia Theater
last evening to see the Columbia Play
ers present George Cameron's laughable
play Billy who had cares or worries
when he came, it seems safe to say they
speedily disappeared before the perform
ance was long under way. From the time
Billy was interrupted in his lovemaking
by an accidental shove in the back that
sent his artificial teeth flying, he knew
not where until the time when he again
clasped his sweetheart in his arms and
was able to say without fear or falter-
ing, "Beatrice!" the audience laughed and
laughed and laughed. Just how much
can be afforded by the loss Of
a set of artificial teeth can scarcely be
imagined until one has seen poor Billy
with his sweater drawn over his mouth,
hunting throughout the livelong night on
the deck of an ocean liner for his lost
treasures
Those who saw the play when it was
originally presented in Washington will
doubtless try to see it again before the
week closes, for it is one of those rare
trouble-chasers one never let's escape.
They will find. too, that the Columbia
Players are adequately equipped to meet
all the demands of the playwright and

more stately and dramatic productions.

has a chorus of pretty girls who dance

scenery are worthy of mention.

farce entitled ION Their Honeymoon"

farce entitled "On Their Honeymoon"
The program is merry mixture of
musical comedy, vaudeville and bur-
leQue clever at every turn. The COM
pany is an even one, with several good
comedians and lots of pretty girls in
attractive costumes. Harry Ward, as an
inventor, and Danny Simmons. "a
crank on Mormonism." are the chief
fun producers The action Of the piece
occurs largely upon a supposed Pull
man palace car, which is speeding
across the country, having aboard
three bridal couples on their honey
moon, each wishing to keep their mar
riage a secret from the others. This
causes no end of complications. Margie
Hilton, who has an attractive person
atty. is the leading feminine charac-
ter and pleased the audience with her
up-to-date musical numbers Hattie
Raymond gave a clever exhibition of
clog dancing assisted by Harry Ward.

is devoted to a cOmical travesty en-
titled 1.-THE Funny Village Fire Bri-
gade."

Imperial.

The decision of Lewis J. Morton and 8.
Galeski. who have taken over and re-
modelled the Imperial Theater on 9th
street near d street northwest to give
Washington stock season of musical
comedies was happy inspiration judg
ing by the crowded house that greeted
FIorodora last evening. Before the
orchestra sounded its first note every seat
in the theater was filled with apparently
the same music lovers who attend higher
priced performances at the larger the
aters and as the evening advanced and
the merits of the new company were dis
closed there was real enthusiasm and
confident predictions of the success of
the new venture.
He, Helen 1,, Bryon. the priwa donna. and
Dolores. are well known in the musical
comedy world. And they are reinforced
with Edna Reming, a vivacious little
actress, who seems to get we'll over the
footlights with what she undertakes;
Anna Stapleton. another comely and eff
fective musical comedy coincidence, and
a galaxy of principals that promise much
for the future. No small part of the
new company is the attractive chorus
that is not only come.y in looks, SO far
as the feminine contingent goes. but
exceedingly effective in voice and action.
The comedy role of Tweedlepunch last
evening was intrusted to James NOEL
hern. and with Dan Moyles. Franker
WOODS Bert Young and John Merrill,
leaders in the male contingent, helped
to make a strong aggregation that was
quite effective.
Some parts of the old ''Florodora" SEEM
ed to be missing, but their place was sup
piled with new material that was quite
as good and added to the attractiveness
of the ever-pOpular musical comedy.
In Alexander Henderson the company
has a musical director who seems able to
get the best out of every singer and song.
Especially popular last evening was the
Rum Tum fiddle" song innovation, by
Franker Woods and chorus, and the novel
manner in which it was presented. Edna
Remins was a real hit as Angela Gilfain
and shared the honors with Miss Byron
and Miss Williams.
The one or two uneven places that
cropped out here and there as the per-
formance progressed were simply those
unavoidable defects that seem bound to
attend a first night and which can readi-
ly be smoothed out as the week pro-
crosses. The theater was prettily deco
rated with flowers and several floral
tributes went over the footlights TO the
principals.

Academy.

'The Penalty a new play in four
acts by Henry c. Colwell, interested a
large audience at the Academy Theater
last night, but, beyond being merely in
teresting, it probably fell below the mark
The audience had been led to believe
that strong men would moan. women
faint, and children cry" when 1.-The Pen
atty was produced, but very fortunately
none of these unfortunate things hap
pened.
The play deals with great deal that
is pitiful and revolving in life.
1t tells Of Mrs. Rutherford, a promi-
nent social climber, who divorces her
husband, morally weak and dissipated
man. He learns his wife is living on the
blackmail her, and while in q drunken
stupor he spreads a scandal about her.
His son Jack. fresh from college, has
become engaged to Gladys Dexter, daugh-
ter Of a social leader. James Carpenter,
the man who has wronged Mrs. Ruther-
ford, Is also sutton for the girls hand.
Mrs. Dexter learns of Mrs. Rutherford's
disgrace and tells Jack he cannot marry
her daughter. Inadvertently Jack hears
the scandal about his mother. In a
dramatic scene he confronts the guilty
man, who tells him the whole pitiful
and kills the man. Then the best thing
in the show happens, she commits suicide.
Miss Grace Hale. as Mrs. Rutherford.
appears at her best in the final crisis of
the performance. Allan Mathes. as Jack
shares honors with her, and Marcus f.
Hoefs was quite good as the dissipated
husband. Frank II. La Rue. as 1.-The man
in the case and George Cole as Samuel
Smythe, a man from Pittsburgh We're
worthy of mention.

Belasco.

| "Over Night" furnished a large even
ing at the Belasco Theater last night.
| Viewed from the standpoint OF the
laughter produced William A. Brady
| Ltd) was unusually modest for dra-
matte producer. in designating the play
comedy" He should have dubbed it
farce, for it furnished laugh that
began before the curtain had been up
more than minute. and ended only when
the big audience saw the wet pavementS
outside the theater and feared it was still
raining.
There was, indeed. sufficient for a farce
in plot that separated two couples on
their honeymoons, and left Richard
Kettle. whose trip marked his first sep
aratlon from mammals apron strings, and
who was Poor Richard in both pocket
and mind, dependent upon the bride of

his name. or course. when the rice that
leaked out Of their pockets labeled each
mismated couple, it became necessary to
pass off Kettles bride as Mrs. Darling
and Darling's bride as Mrs. Kettle.

gossipy women heard that Kettle had
married a suffragette, and insisted on

Kettle and Mrs. Darling tried to allay
the suspicious of the two gossips by pre-
tended honeymoonng that aroused grave
suspicious in the minds of the other bride
and groom who were silent and unknown
witnesses.
| One complication followed another so
| naturally and without apparent effort to
| be funny that the laughter was spon-
| taneous. And be it said to the credit of
author and producer the opportunities to
make the fun other than clean were quite
| ignored.

Many laugh would have been missed

are features in bill at the Majestic
Theater this week that seems incredibly
good for the prices charged. Manager
Moore's policy of giving an ample bill
of clean family vaudeville, no act of
which is a makeshift, but all entertain
ing and mertorious, seems to be meeting
with complete success judged by the
capacity houses at the four performances
yesterday and last night. Vans Minstrels,
eight men and a woman interlocutor. in
blackface. offer new and laughable jokes
and some fine ballad singing. Abdul. the

main. The Keith Comedy Four make a
pleasing musical quartet that was quite
popular at all performances. while Ed
wards Circus, especially the unreliable
mule. furnished worlds of amusement to
the children. Other attractive numbers
were Rheinhardt and Temple, in char
acter duet and patter Offering. and Grace
Trebor, daughter of a local theatrical
manager, who sang songs very sweetly
and gave an interesting. pianologue.
