Madame X a Strong Play.

In Madame X, which will be
presented at the Columbus Thea
tire tonight, Manager Newly has
one of the strongest attractions
that has been offered local play
goers this season. The play deals
with a theme which though old
is ever dear to the hearts of all
mankind, that of the love of a
mother for her boy, and Alex
ander Bisson, the author. has
woven a story which grips all
who see the play and holds their
interest from start to finish.
The play was a recent at
traction at the Tulane Theatre in
New Orleans and the papers of
that city, were lavish in their
praise both of the drama and of
Miss Adelaide French, who es-
says the part of Madame X. The
role affords ample opportunities
for versatility and for strong
dramatic work, and Miss French
takes complete advantage of
these opportunities, depicting the
gay butterfly of the social world
and the well-nigh demented drug
fiend, which she finally becomes,
in equally life-like manner.
The company which appears
here tonight carries the scenery
and properties used in New York,
and the play will be given a
metropolitan production.
