The Star of "Nancy Brown" is Approved by All. Miss Marie Cahill. who opens a week's engagement at the Columbia Theater next Monday night in the musical comedy suc cess, "Nancy Brown," is meeting with re markable success wherever she appears. In view of the fact that Miss Cahill is making her debut as a star in the cities outside New York, her popularity is mar velous. New stars, as a rule, are not greeted with open arms. Quite frequently their work does not warrant such hearty welcome. Miss Cahill Is an exception. She is cred ited with having proved an artist to her graceful finger tips. Her work has met with unanimous approval. Judging from the heavy advance sale of Beats at the Columbia, Miss Cahill's en gagement seems likely to make a record for the popular playhouse.

The contractors have been delayed by strikes and the difficulty of securing and keeping men. The inclosures of the ele vators in the main stair hall are in a very backward condition though the contractors have almost completed the elevator in closures elsewhere. Two sets of vault doors are still due, and no satisfactory word Can be obtained from the contractors. They are being pushed, however, by every means within reach. The extra fireproof partitions are progressing satisfactorily in the shop, but cannot well be finished In place before the latter part of November. "The contract for pneumatic tube3 is well advanced. Work on frames and doors for freight elevator openings is nearly finished, and the operating mechanism for elevator doors is as far along as the state of the inclosure work will permit. A small amount of day labor work remains, and it will necessitate the use of five or six rrechanics and laborers during October.
