II did not know what happened for a

foot on the floor. and she looked at my
poor leg. Well. Bobby Jones, l can tell
you those boys were scared when my
little mother began to cry and scream
and dance about; she flew at those
boys and she chased them around with
the very sword they had held me on.
They ran out of the room and down

together novel, surprises to regular
patrons Of the Columbia.
The company was augmented by a
chorus brought to Washington espe-
cially for this production. Then there
were some interpolated musical num-
bers and dances. all tending to imbue
the performance with pleasing air Of
jollity.
Nobody would have guessed that A..
H. Van Buren, whose roles 30 far this
year with the Columbia Players have
been rather serious and dignified. could
sing as he did last night. In the part Of
Johnny Hicke. the gambler. he sur
prised even those who had heard him
sing before. His duet, Don't You
TELL" with Dorothy Bernard. which
was accompanied by a clever little
dance. was one of the hits Of the even
ing. and was encored again and again.
Miss Bernard was heard later In q
number of additional songs, in each of
which she scored heavily. Then there
was Miss Thatcher. who disclosed un-
suspected talent along vocal lines, and
Arthur Ritchie. who also favored"
with a vocal number. as well as Everett
DuttcihCiu, "hOs tiC Choi a. VI oh
Italian organ grinder, did some excel
lent acting. and sang beautifully the
popular song. My Rose of the Ghetto" :"
I do not think I have ever seen any
thing funnier than George BARRIERS 5
whiskcrs or Stanley James celluloid
cuffs, which he wears attached to his
sleeveless shirt by brown strings. 1t
is a question whether John NJ. Kline's s
800 pounds Of avoirdupois are the more
Iaughable when engirthed with red
satin sash. or when shrouded By the
aforementioned canton flannel sleeping
garment. His blonde curls, and his
stick Of candy constituted one of the
hits Of the evening
When he was disclosed in all rhe
glory of his Come to Mamma" suit,
one of the regular patrons of the
Columbia was overheard to remark. IF
there are any more surprises to be
sprung this evening. I'll have to go
home. for there's only two more laughs

there were boys at the party.

boy that visited the playroom.

Bobby leaned back against the edge of
his box and waited for Drusilla to speak
again.

little mother was invited to a party, and
Just as she was going out the door she
saw me sitting in my Carriage and :

I hadn't though now.
"I can't leave poor Drusilla all alone
said my little mother. she wants to go
to the party. too. don't you, Drusilla?'
That nurse tried to get her not to
take me. but my little mother said II
she could not take me she would not
go. so that nurse had to let me go.
There were little girls and boys at the
house where the party was, and for a
while they played games and had a nice
time"

My little mother carried me in her
arms all the time, and l did have a
good time, only when a boy would pull
my arm. or leg to plague my little
mother. But after a while the boys
were tired Of playing games with the
girls. and so they went to a playroom
in the top of the house and the little
girls played games downstairs.
by and by my little mother had to
use both hands playing a game. and
she put me In corner Of the hall be-
hind big palm. 1t was nice and COM
Portable there. and 1 was enjoying my
self when three OF those boys came
down the stairs dressed up like Indians
trying to scare the little girls. They
looked over the baluster and saw me
sitting behind the palm. and one of
them reached over and picked me up on
the end of a sword he carried. l was
so frightened I did not know what to
do. for of all the dreadful things that
happened to me. boys are the worst.
They took me up to the playroom
where the other boys were and held me
by my dress on the end of the horrid
sword. Here's Drusilla' said the boy,
Let's play Indian and scalp her.
