lures of this terrible disaster and as

"Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh," Mrs.
Fiske's present medium, in which she
will appear Thursday night at the
Robinson Grand, is distinctly unlike
any other in which Mrs. Fiske has
ever been seen, being an out-and-out
comedy, almost farce. 1t treats Of
the social battles waged by the daugh-
ter of an Indian manufacturer of
"painkillers" and stomach elixirs."
Putting the pelf gained by her father,
the sufferers friend" to such good
use that she marries into the English
aristocracy, she returns to America
to still further advance the family So
cial fortunes, meet with obstacles
which make up the incidents of the
play. During the former tour the au-
thor's work was found to be hilar-
tously funny, and Mrs. Fiske's char
acterlzation Of the resourceful climber,
with its sudden and complete transit
tions from the veneered English lady
to the natural Indiana product, one
Of the most striking contributions ever
given to our stage.
