Columbin-"Beverl of Graustark.
The most delightful of romantic dramas,
"Beyerly of Graustark," will receive
gorgeous production at the hands Of the
Columbia Players at the Columbia Thea
ter this week. 1t is a play founded upon
George Barr McCutcheon's fascinating
novel, of the same name. Inc stage
version was made by Robert NJ Baker,
who has received a small fortune Tor mis-
labor.
The star role, Beverly Calhoun, who
halls from Washington. d. C.-not Grau-
stark-wil present Helen Holmes in one
of the most satisfying parts in which sne
has vet been seen. Her adventures Will
take her into the mountain Businesses OF
Graustark where she loses her way after
having become separated from the friends
with whom she was travelling. There
she is rescued by a gallant gentleman
who calls himself Baldos, a mountaineer,
but who before the end Of the play turns
out to be the dethroned ruler of DAVIS
bergen, Prince Dantan.
The love scenes between Beverly ana
Prince Dantan are unusual and fascinat-
ing, and the interest is maintained to the
very end of the play. 1t is needless 10
add that the acquaintance formed amidst
the wild surroundings of the mountains
deyelops into a love between Beverly and
the Prince that results in her sharing
his throne with him when he regains II.
Carl Anthony is to play the prince. and
those who have witnessed his rehearsais
declare that he is destined to make
greater hit in the part than he did In
his opening bill. Prince Otto
Another striking figure will be that
of Airline Pretty, who. as Princess Ca
dance, the sister of Prince Dantan, dis
guises herself as a boy in several
scenes. Jessie Glendinning as Princess
Yetive, Marie Drofnah as Aunt Fanny
Peggy Ford as Countess Dagmar, Bes-
sic Maxwell as Lady Roma, Everett
Butterfield as Ravonne, c. w. Vance
as Franz, Harold Long as Reinmark'
John Ellis as Castro, Arthur Ritchie
as Lieut.. QuinnoX. and Stanley James
as Gen. Marian will complete the cast.
Stage Director Harry Andrews and
Scenic Artist Charles Squires have WED
with one another in making the pro-
duction one long to be remembered
and the costumes will be positive de-

wanted, An Ant Nare.

When Henry W. Savage produces LA
Demoiselle de Masasin'' in this country
he will be confronted by the difficulty
of providing the comedy with an Eng
lish title which has the same meaning
as the original but which has not already
been used. The natural. easy and most
Illuminating translation would be The
Shop Girl" but that as well as ''The
Saleslady" distinguished a prior Ameri.
can production. A literal rendition,
"The Girl Of the Warehouse" Is OBJ
viously unfit while "The Store Girl''
lacks definiteness. All of which does not
in any way affect the play that, 1t is
said, is as effective in English as in
French.

in connection with the visits Of Ameri-

that America already has better plays
than are now seen in England. and. in
stead of getting new plays here. the Lon
