AS for Rose Melville and her Wis

be a superfluity. Her annual visit in
this famous characterization is al

variably is greeted with favor for the

which seems never to lose its hold on
the affections of the theater-going
public no matter what other form of
entertainment may come and go.
According to an announcement in
the Columbia Theater program of last
week Miss Melville holds the record
of 1896 performances in sis Hopkins"
in which she has played to 5,4OO. 900
people. statistics which prove the con-
tinued appeal OF the homely country
character on the stage as norhing else

CoIumbia-Rose Melville In isis
Hopkins"

The true dramatic worth Of a play is
perhaps best proven by the length Of its
usefulness. sis Hopkins" which comes
to the Columbia Theater this week, is
beginning its fourteenth year of uninter-
rupted success. Rose Melville, when
asked the question not long ago, how
many times she had played the role OF
Sis" replied that 1t was too difficult to
answer. What is the secret of its sue
cess? There is only one answer. 1t is a
better play than a majority of the 9TH
ers; in fact, there can be no other an
swer. II must not be forgotten that in
the length Of time Miss Melville has been
playing sis Hopkins" the attendance
has been enormous. And the wonder of
this play is that piaygoers never get
tired of seeing Miss Melville as Sis.
It is as popular today as it was yester-
day or on the day Of its premier. The

name had become so closely associated
with the sort Of thing she has been
doing for years that they felt il would
lie q financial mistake to branch out
into a new field. What was the use
Of all the building she had done; all
the advertising she had been given;
all the press -agentinE; all the fame
acquired as the most accomplished
swimmer and diver in the world il
now she was going to be a histrionic
star This the argument she met
everywhere. Managers were sure Of
the favor of the public in the line OF
entertainment in which Miss Keller
mann had established herself through
years of hard work. while the manner
of her reception in an untried field
was an unknown quantity.
So Annette pleaded. and Wheedled,
and argued. until last fall l.. c. Wis
nell announced a contract with her TO
appear in new musical comedy and
the lady of the waters was quite
happy although rumor has II that
some of her own hard earned cash has
been utilized in backing her desire to
spend a little of her professional life
outside of a water tanS.
However this may be, we are this
week to see Miss Kellermann in The

work of Anne Caldwell, with MUSIC

Even taking the assertions of the

portunity of proving her ability along
diversified lines for her role in The
Model Girl" requires a frst-class sing

ments, and histrionic ability for its
success. although ii is asserted that
the diver has not succeeded in en-
tirely eliminating the act which has
made her famous (even in musical
-omedy) and that she will be seen In
some of her most difficult aquatic
stunts as a supplement 10 her dra-
matte performance.
Mr.. Wisnen has engaged a support
ing company for his star which as
sures the artistic Interpretation of
both book and score. First there is
Otis Harlan who has been identified
with some of the most successful mu-

John Park is another prominent
oIayer with the Annette Kellermann
company. We have seen Mr.. Park J
