There is such an Irresistible charm tn

The play is based upon the simple story
of the lives of four lovable girls. such as

Columbia.

1.-The Royal Family" described in the
program as "a comedy of romance In
three acts" was produced by the Column
bia Players at the Columbia Theater last
night before large and appreciative au-
dience. with George W. Barber as Louis
VII, King of .Arcacia. a part that fitted
him well and of whose opportunities he
took every advantage. The romantic role
Of Victor Constantine. Crown Prince OF
kurland. was taken by MT Van Buren,.
with the easy grace that characteriZes
his work. The third important male i'm
personation, Cardinal Casano. was that of
Everett Butterfield. and he has proba bly,
rarely appeared to better advantage. The
capability Of the company. so far as Its
men are concerned, was well illustrated
by the effective way these three parts, all
of about equal Importance, were taken
last night.
The Royal Family" written by Capt.
R. Marshall. was originally Frohma n
production. with Miss Annie Russell In
the role of Angela. only daughter Of the
king. This part last night was taken by
Miss Helen Holmes in a highly creditable
manner She made a lovable princess.
Miss Holmes seems to have acquired
some tricks of voice infection much like
Julia Marlowe's. Little Miss Helen Hayes
last night played Prince Charles Ferdi-
nand of Arcacia, juvenile role which
she created in the original production.
1t is a light play. whose appeal must
be because of the simple little love story
involved. Cardinal Casano proves him.

which brings about a happy ending and

two mythical European powers, but the
audience forgets all about the high poll

sympathy with the lovers. deeper note
is struck by the love of Father Anselm,
the cardinals secretary. for the princess,
but that only serves to throw the real
love story Of the princess and the prince
into relief.
There is a splendid garden scene among
the settings. and the costumes. especially
in the throne room scene. are most
elaborate. The gorgeous European uni
forms and the royal robes make very
effective picture.
