starts out to earn her living, she sur
mounts every obstacle with her re
finement and innate dignity which
in itself is the most wholesome, clean
cut comedy possible to imagine.
Miss Robson is fairly revelling in
the part of "Freedom" as it la simi
lar to "Aunt ilary." her first love
and with the quaint costumes and
the old fashioned side curls she la
the personification of Boston 4U0
of the old regime.
In her travels over Europe, she
gets into all kinds of mixups but with
her keen intuition she brings every
thing around all right.
. The play is clean, wholesome, rua
of witticisms of the highest sort,
deals with real human beinss of the
interesting types.
The trtree acts take place in Bos
ton and1 California, all excelling in
perfection and naturalness.
Augustus Pitou, Inc.. under whose
management Miss Robson has been
so successfully handled the last few
seasons, has won the reputation all
over the country for having nothing
but the best in everything and any
attraction sailing under the banner

and he scored a brilliant success in
the achievement. It has been said by
the literary and dramatic critics that
in this work Pinero actually out
satirizes Bernard Shaw. Again, the
story is a very vital one, a discussion
in the broadest kind of treatment a
question that confronts every wife.
There are no issues evadpd, it is a
fiatfooted presentation of the case of
husband versus responsibility before
and after marriage.
It Is based on three salient facts.
First the assumption that man is not
born to marriage, but that he achieves
it as a condition in life, a sort of
graduation from earlier false ideals

theater last season and only recently
sumption is made that every male
animal learns the lesson of life before
marriage, and that somebody has to
pay for the experience. Third, that
after marriage many a man faces the
problem f protecting his wife from
a menace he himself created in the
days of bachelorhood. There is- no
double btandard with Arthur Wing
Pinero. He holds the husband as ac
countable as the wife. He dares to
discuss truths which every wife fears,
but often dismisses with the assump
tion that it is the "nature of the
animal."
Many pictures have been made,
with themes, blaming the wife, here is
one which lays the responsibility
squarely at the door of the husband.
and then sets about and in the most
pointed way proves that the respon
sibility rests exactly where it be
longs. He takes his characters from
the average walk of life. He draws
his .people with the strokes of ac
tuality, there is no theory In "The
Truth About Husbands." in short, it
is Sir Arthur Wing Pinero at his
best.
' The Rlalto is screening the produc
tion without advance in prices, and is
urging attendance during the matinee
showings. The announcement Is
made that a complete line of added
attractions. Including the News and a
comedy, will complete the program.

figure, which, of course, is the main
attraction, the artistic beauty of the
piece la worth going far to see.

"KINGFISHER ROOST"
TUESDAY AT
COLUMBIA THEATER
"Kingfisher's Roost," featuring
JCeal Hart, at Mauk's Columbia the
ater next Tuesday and Wednesday,
was filmed in old Mexico in the little
town of Tecate. Tecate was busily
engaged in a revolution when the pic
ture company arrived, but as soon at
the machines were set ip the inhab
itants became so interested that they
stopped fighting and both sides gath
ered round to watch proceedings. The
company spent some time there to
taking Interesting shots and the com
batants were on hand bright and early
each day to see everything therewas
to be seen. As soon aa the film was
completed and the company had tak
en its departure, the fighters took up
their positions again and the war
went merrily on.
The story of "Kingfisher's Roost"
centers around the efforts of an ad
venturous cowboy to clean out "King
fisher's Roost," a hangout for a band
of outlaws who are preying on tha
community.
The ingenuous way In which tha
cowboy effects the capture of the out
laws and finds love in the heart of a
girl will please all who see it.
A Snub Pollard comedy and a Lit
erary Digest Topics are the aug
menting features.
The Columbia orchestra haa been
attracting a grest deu of favorable
attention lately by the completeness
of the settings they offer. The un
usual abilly of the musicians Is re
flected In the harmonious programs
they produce. x
Leslie Brown, pupil of Fran Dar
vas, played a MacDowell composition,
on the program given by the Junior
Musical clubs at the Woman's club,
Monday afternoon. Appearing on the
same program was a talented young
violin pupil of Robert Saunders, Ros
lyn Turner, who played two numbers
and was accomoanied by Ruth Por
ter, pupil of William Orth.
