given in compliment to Mrs. Price
before she leaves the city for her
new home in Chicago is the luncheon
over which Mrs. Richard Meserve
presided this afternoon. The guests
are only the old-time friends of the
guest OF honor and were given
this opportunity of talking over old
times and expressing their regret at
the departure of Mrs. Price. Twenty
ladies were seated at most beauti-
fully decorated table, lavender lilacs
and sweet peas being used in profrl-
sion. Large showers of lilacs hung
from the chandeliers and graceful
festoons of ribbon were draped to the
table. Dainty candles shed their ray
under lacey lavender shades and cast
a charming glow over the lavender
cover Delightful Victrola music was
enjoyed later in the afternoon and
several vocal solos by Priscilla Price
and Gladys Currie. The hostess was
assisted in serving this elegant lunch
con by the Misses Ruby and Gladys
Currie and Priscilla Price. Dainty
place cards of hand-tinted flowers
marked each guesst place and the
color scheme of lavender and white

''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
When a popular novelist. a popular
playwright, and a popular actress COM
bine to make a play, the result is rea-
| sonably certain to be a popular sue
cess. True enough, II is the certainties
that often prove the most complete fail
ures; but John Fox had already charmed
| a public with his romance OF THE Trail
of the Lonesome Pine" and Eugene Wal

his credit when he undertook to make
the Fox novel into a play. while Miss
Charlotte Walker had a host of sd-
mirers, gained chiefly by a charming
personality, perhaps, but none the less
loyal for that So it was not espe-
cially surprising when. two years ago at
the Columbia Theater Miss Walker
played all week to standing room only
Nor is IL surprising that this should be
one of the few theatrical productions that
have endured into their third season
Last night The Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" reached another audience at the
Columbia Theater with all its old appeal
II is story full of romance, adventure
and sentiment, three ingredients sure of
response from the thousands of people who

upon to do more work than is usual, but
this proves one of the assets Of the pro-
duction, for II Is exceptionally well drill

Miss Doris Keane's brilliant charac-
terization of La Cavallini.
In the first act the auditor is be-
witched by a strange. exotic creature
of caprices-a vivid expression of the
operate temperament, which Miss
Keane visualizes with n technique as
sure as il is whimsical. And in this
armorous, voluptuous singer of humble
origin the soul of the real woman
grows into being before ones very
eyes, rising in the end TO the grandeur
of supreme denunCiatiOn. Through the
growth the actress gives an impersona-
ton of exquisite variety, rich in col
orinE and authoritative in its con-
trasts. rising to emotional heights
which make the dominant character

stage pictures we have seen in many

can be made truly brilliant by a graceful
