Columbia Players Revive Famous Melodrama. LONG toward midnight last evening at the Wilson audi- torfum there was great re- lef among sympathetic friends when it became ap- parent that the heroine of “Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model” was safe at last. Some of these friends had laughed at Neéllie's misforiunes. but < that probably | was due to hys- terics. Pentwup emotion often takes such forms, and_the audience that turned out to see the Colum- bia Players was strong on sym- vathy. It was not to be denied that the heroine was & clinging vine, but like many others who have that disposition, she offered no strong_obstacles to militant action. A healthy looking cast was provided, and in the course of 13 scenes the members were lined up for and against Nellie, with plenty of time between curtains to recover their composure and resume hostili- tles with increased vigor. For, like most of the earlier products of Owen Davis, master mind of the primitive melodrama, the cloak model's story has & plentiful supply of climaxes, increasing in force. Unconsciously, she was heir to a fortune, and money ofien inspires wicked plots, even when the heiress is grossly ignorant of her own im- portance. So it was that Nellie was fired from her modest job. pursued, led into resorts where they openly drank strong liquor, slandered, locked up, tied to a railroad track and near- ly destroyed by a bomb. In an ex- hausted condition, also, she was subjected to a driving snowslorm, skillfully thrown from the wings. Amid all the perils, the crippled brother and faithful lover seemed to be guided by fate, and always ar- rived in time to turn- the tide. The need was obvious, for villains are always ingertious, and whatever other things they lack. there is no scarcity of ma‘erial for thrills. They seem to know all the tricks that bring sorrow to good people. So it was with Nel- Jie.” She was Just surrounded by vil- lains, and at times it seemed exas- perating that noble characters were so slow in arriving. There was one lation, how the _compan; THAYER Ew) PRODUCER OF THE BAST PRINTING il Work Exclusively " Disr. 1816 909 12 STameT HOWARD 8. FISK, MANAGER Helen A. Ryan. had provided for the sale of peanuts petween the acts, and these missiles, showered upon the bad people in the play, contributed to their complete rout. That result must have been suspected already. The Columbia Players have here- tofore demonstrated their skill in the depiction of character and be- cause of the all-round work in duplicating the euphuistic diction of the old 10-20-30 output they cov- ered themselves with glory. The role of Nellie was played with commendable attention to detail by Miss Helen A. Ryan, and the equally well trained members of the cast had these assignments in the old play: Jack Carroll, a young electrical engincer, A. E. Dubber, jr.; Mrs. Horton, a wealthy widow, sie Mills; Walter Hinton, her profligate nephew, Robert D. Chase; Hortense Drake, 5 saleslady, Aurora Poston; William Roland _Bedford, Nellie's foster uncle, H. R. Bauk- hage; ‘Tom, his crippled son, Robert Miller; Polly, a cash girl, Maxine Alverscn; Otto, an errand boy, Cecil Lovewell; Mrs. McTish, a boarding-house keeper, Iva Davis; Mrs. Jones, & boarder, Dorothy White; Sally, & salesgirl, Margaret Graham; girls at the haymarket, anet Jackson, Helen Burton and Brunhilde O. Cross; Adolph, a waiter, W. W. Harrison; & policeman, Phillip Cole; Hobbs, Stanley Rayfield; dan- cers, the Rice Sisters. The last- mentioned pair made one of the hits of the evening. Between the acts, and during the famous Hay- market scene, popular songs were given by the Columbia Quartet, com- posed of Messrs. Harold Snyder, Dr. Clifton P, Clark, Miner Ellis and D, Lee Batton, with Stanley Rayfield at the pilano; accordionist, Francis Trappe Orchestra music was furnished by the Institute of Musical Art, C.

D. C.C. Robert ' Downing Talks for the Arts Club. OBERT DOWNING, noted Shakespearean actor, in aking before a small gathering at the Arts Club last night, relat:d many inter- esting tales of long forgotten actors with whom he had played. Many of the audience no doubt remembered all the personages, and Mr. Downing seemed to strik- chord in the | hearts of those who had seen good | acting and appreciated it. 1 Mr. Downing opened his address | | | with a discourse on authors and playwrights who lived and wrote about 1800, whose plays were listed in his repertoire, and of the life of an actor behind the scenes, which, Mr. wning says, “is no bed of roses.” He spoke interestingly of David Garrick, his life and his work on the stage. He also told of his days of acting ‘ on the stage with Edwin Booth, who | in his estimation was the greatst | | actor the world has ever known. He told of how he. swelled with e when Booth asked him into his dressing room to coach him in a role, and of how he tried to live that MARCH 18, iJ31/ pat on the stags afterward. An teresting tale was told of the time Booth and _Barrett (whose real name, Downing said, was Brannigan) were playing in Texas, charging $3 a seat. Upon being held up by rob- bers who later learncd who they were the chief thief commanded his rascals to return all they had taken, saying, “Give it back to them boys. ‘They are in the same business we are. Mr. Downing had the audience laughing heartily the entire evening by interspersing humorous and witty remarks with the mor: serious. Mr, Clifford Berryman, of The Evening Star, acted as official host for the evening, also introducing, or rather presenting, Mr. Downing. who needs no introduction to a Wash- ington audience. J. N. H.
