The stage will present Fanchon and ercol idea, “Columns”—new and, seems, decidedly different in con- cepuon ‘The scenic angle is magnificent | and the cast of principals, including Rome and Guat of vaudeville and mu- sical comedy fame and the Sunkist| Beauties, said to be all excellent enter- tainers.
