Audience in First Production

His House In Order" Pinero play.
attracted brilliant audience last night
at the Columbia Theater. Comedy is
the official title of the production, but
its last act verges on tragedy.
The story is Of an old man with q
young girl for a second wife. Relatives
Of the first spouse bother her. Letters
showing the infidelity Of wife No. !

learns Of this fact. the relatives and
their annoyances disappear.

That light filtration leads but to di-

and to those wives who love adulation

that moral is brought home as II It

no mistaking the meaning.
The Poll Players fit into the play as
II 1t were written for them. Not a raw

because of his or. her fitness for it,
rather than merely because they be-

II Is permissible to laugh-laugh loud

titled "All For the Ladies'" And an
audience which filed the theater last
night paid a tribute to the Teutonic
comedian and a first-class company in
no unwavering manner. for the latest

the cleverest musical shows. from two
or three standpoints, seen in Washing

is true. but does not go far enough.
There are two or more types of each
style Of feminine beauty. which is say

"All for the Ladies' is a cleverly
written and produced show. True it is
that certain Persian tinge permeates
the entire performance. The somewhat
suggestive situations. 50 well known
to the student of the French light
opera, appear now and then in this
Bernard show. But all these are so
smoothed over and handled in such
delicate manner as to cause. but little
uuessiness, even from the most moral

and 1t brought many good laughs last
night. The second shows ''The Poll

was to be a decisive one. His speech
was strongly Republican instead Of
Democratic, and this came near to
being fatal. After this blunder. events
