This is to be a week Of fun and farce

Woman" the David Belasco play which
will tenant the Columbia Theater this
week.
The appearance Of Hattie Williams and
Richard Carle as co-stars in THE Girl
From Montmartre'' at the New National
this week is in itself a novelty, for until
the present sea son, neither of these far
ceurs has starred other than individu-
ally.
For years Miss Williams has entertained
exclusively under the management OF
Charles Frohman, and in 'Fluny Ruf-
fes'' and other musical merriments she
has twinkled blithely along the Slittering
way of stardom.
Richard Carle-or Dick as he is re-
ferred to be called by at least nine-tenths
of his admirers-is the hero of most
adventurous stage career From the time
that he was only a theatrical promise tor
a threat as he was more often designateD
until the present he has run the Samut

than twenty years since he first faced the
footlights as a would-be Lyceum favorite.

from the precedents of the past was made
in his distinctively vital creation of Kin

support of Frances Starr.
Again does Mr.. Cope's remarkable YER
satility serve him in the role of the Hon.
Jim Blake, in which the public will have
the opportunity of seeing him this week.
for this again is a radical departure from
its predecessors. The Hon. Jim is a polit-
lean of national importance-the boss of
his party-a character of such dominant
force and compelling charm that his
presence breathes through every line of
the play.
If you were under the impression that
Messrs. Metzerott and Berger were going
