COLUMBIA

1t is rather difficult thing to re-
member that The Butterflies" was
written by Henry Guy Carleton for
John Drew and not to suit the individ-
ual accomplishments Of the members OF
the Columbia Players, so well balanced
is the production Of the play by that
organization this week. This was the
thought that was uppermost In the
minds of the audience who saw Its first
presentation at the Columbia last eve
ming. The play is a fine hot weather
production with just enough OF serl-
GUS purpose to keep the audience AT
slight tension and yet filled with the
kind OF comedy that brings wholesome
laughs. The story Of a son, whose De-
lief that he is rich has been fostered
by a doting mother and Is exploded by
a hard headed business man, Is the
principal theme. And in the develop
ment of this. the young man Is made
yond spending money, but with a SUD
stantial character which proves u
self well under the acid test Of necessity.
A. II. Van Buren,. in the old John
Drew part. was given one of the pest
opportunities Of the present season, and
high regard in which he is held by
Columbia patrons. Miss Dorothy Ber-
naro was all that could be desired In
the part of Marian. George Barber had
a character IN Ine peTsOu VI All hiii
Green which he developed to Its full
possibility. and Julia Blanc, In another
of her distinctly original character
creations, gave renewed evidence OF her
ability and versatility. Jessie Glenden-
ming was unusually we'll cast, her
Suzanne being a natural, lovable young
daughter of a very indulgent father
who manages her own affairs as well IS
the affairs of most of the other people
with whom she Is thrown in contact.
Carrie Thatcher played the mother
with the sweet simplicity and tender
feeling the dramatist must have had
in mind when he wrote the part. Ev-
erett Butterfield scored another char
acter triumph in the part of the gtlded
youth who was rather ashamed of his
fathers lack of social training. John
Kline was more happily cast than usual
in the part of the Englishman, Strong.
and George Darrell and David Chase
We're both highly satisfactory as the
dunning tailor, who doesn't like to dun.
ana the very proper butler. respective
ly. The only marring feature Of the
production was the slowness OF the first
part Of the first act, which will doubt
less be corrected during the remainder
of the week. G. NJ.

POLLS

Just as the late Clyde Fitch COM
pressed the raw material in the char
acters of all the women in the world
into two types upon which he built his
play, The Woman in the Case" so Miss
Jewel and Miss Kent provide In one act
Of the play as produced by the Poll
Players most of the technique and
nnesse in the art of dramatic expression
of these types. There has probably
been no play written within the last
generation that was so deliberate an
attempt TO present one big thought in
one big scene. Most of the plays in the
world deal with a good woman or a bad
woman. Most of them try to show the
one character or the other in the best
possible light or the worst possible light.
1t is seldom that a dramatist has had
the daring to oppose the two types that
have dominated the literature of the
world since its beginning. raw and I'M
adorned, as Mr.. Fitch has done in this
play. His title is a general title-it
covers both characters. There is really
but one act to The Woman in the
Case" There are four on the program.
but the first two are simply for the
purpose of making the audience ready
to receive and understand the one big
scene in which the two central figures
are absolutely alone. The fourth act Is
really not needed at all.
So, while Carl Brickert, William Cor
bett. Stanley James. Russell Fillmore.
Hardie Meakin. Marie Carroll. Marie
Drofnah, and three or four others were
necessary figures to fill out the story,
Miss Jewel and Miss Kent are the only
people who are really remembered as
being in the play, because, they were
the play. Miss Jewel, as the wife
whose abiding faith in a husband &C
cused of murder. brings out all the
ideal qualities Of womanhood, is before
the eye most of the time during the en-
tire four acts, but Miss Kent, in the
part of the vile creature who CEN
tralizes all the baser passions. though
appearing briefly in one other scene
than the one big act, has equal domi-
nance in the action.
Miss Jewel realizes in a much greater
degree the character she assumed than
did Blanche Walsh, who made a great
triumph in the original production OF
the play. An accomplished artist, the
leading lady of the Poll Players over
looked no single opportunity to deli
cately emphasize every important de-
tail in her careful construction OF the
character. She looked the part to per-
lection, and acted as nearly that as
made so many important contributions
of well conceived character studies to
the stage, however, that 1t Is prob
able her really unusual work In this
part will not be so notable to the aver
age spectator. 4
Miss Kents presentation Of her part
in the drama is a matter OF intense
satisfaction to her many friends While
the dramatist, undoubtedly, wrote the
part of Claire Forster with the idea
that II would be of equal Importance
&c that of the wife-it requires the work
of a finished actress of Miss Kent's
ability to make Il so. While the SYM
rathies of the audience naturally go
wholly to the good woman, there was

h|L|T|ANEN HOME,
BRONzED BY CAMP
Caught on Steamer Without
Shelter From Storm That
Sweeps Over Bay.

Bronzed by sun and wind during
their two weeks in camp near Virginia
Beach. Va. 175o officers and men of
the National Guard of the District
reached home at daylight today. every
one of them enthusiastic over the sue
cess OF the 1914 encampment.
All but thirty OF the citizen soldiers
made the trip from Norfolk to Chesa-
cursion boat Dreamland. When the
craft left Norfolk her decks were crowd
ed with the uniformed men and when
q half hour later a rainstorm swept
over the lower bay there was a great
scramble to get out ponchos and tent
covers. The Dreamland has no state
rooms and there was not shelter enough
for all.
Chesapeake Beach was reached ct
$50 a. m. and the troops boarded a
waiting train which brought them to
the District line. In the absence Of
Brigadier General Harries, who went
to New York from Norfolk, the men
on the boat were under the command
of Col. c. H. Ourand. Ten men from
the signal corps, under command Of
Lieutenant MacLennan, and ell Of the
hospital corps came home on the South
land, the steamboat inspector refusing
to allow them to board the crowded
Dreamland.
Before leaving for New York. General
Harries said that he would at once
begin TO look about for a suitable camp
site for next year. He does not favor
Colonial Beach on account OF the
crowds that would be attracted there
interfering with the maneuvers. Two
sites in West Virginia have been sug-
Sested and they will be looked over
before a final choice is made. The Vir-
Einia Beach site was satisfactory this
year. but the deep sand interferes with
extensive maneuvers, such as the men

ton, THE MICHIGAN HOTEL is the ideal place for
a weekend automobile party. The roads leading
to New London from all points are excellent
But most important is the fact that this hotel,
within little more than two hours distance of New
York, can furnish an attractive home at prices
which many people of refined tastes can afford to
pay, but who cannot afford similar luxuries in the
city of New York. or any other large city. One not
only gets these uxurieS and comforts in New Lon
don and gets them at from one-half to one-third the
price but gets measure of health in the simple life
of that town and its fresh invgorating sea breezes
that New York and Boston cannot furnish.
Moreover the prices at which you can secure
good home at THE MICHIGAN HOTEL are much
less than it would cost you to produce equal COM

in an individual home of your own.
