Everyone remembers the beauti ful pluy "ilea liur" which was pre sented In Columbia, and "Rebecca of 8unnybrook Farm" will bring her message of cheer and sunshine to the cltisens of Columbia and vicini ty for two nightB, Wednesday mid Thursday, Nov. 8 and 9, with mat inee Thursday, when she will be seen at the Columbia theatre. ? The dramatisation of the book, which had perhaps the greatest sale of . the last decade, for every one loves Rebecca and wants to kuow ail about ^er, was made by Kate Douglas Wlggln, author of the book and Charlotte Thompson, who has several stage successes to her cre-j dit. The play Is In four acts, and its personnel Includes all of the people who were made friends In the reading of the book. The dra matists have not confined them selves to the earlier adventures of Rebecca, but have taken what thoy , listed from the newer "Chronicles ol Rebecca," In whloh further Incidents In the career of that unconvention al young woman are related.* The plot revolves arouud Rebecca's life at the home of the Sawyer aunts, Miranda and Jane, who take the girl because there are so many chil dren at hen home (her mother ls*a sister of the delectable old maids) and who are horrified at the pranks and life of the young girl who has come into their home. But Rebec ca's loving and lovable nature as serts Its poorer even over the hard ened characters of her kinswomen, and when' the last curtain falls she has not only conquered their liking but has made herself the center of the world for them. The Incident of the soap selling, in which Re becca whs aided and abetted by her chum, Emma Jane Perkins, and the objects of which waB to buy a pia no lamp for the destitute Simpson family, when bread and bacon and baked beans would have been infi nitely more appropriate, brings the element of love Into Rebecca's life, and with the close of the play comes the Intimation of wedding bells for 'her and "Mr. Aladdin." The company which will present "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" Is one of the best sent out by Klaw Erlanger, and ' their name is a guarantee for the finest of casts and the most elaborate and beauti ful productions. In the cast are Ursula St. George, Sam Reed, Alf. Hudaon, Jr., Maud R. Stover, Loy ola O'Connor, Fannie D. MacCollln, Virginia Chauvenet, Ruth Flndlay, Claiborne Foster, Oladys Waddell, Lillian Robs, Sidney Blair and Hen ry Carlln. ?. Tickets will be placed on sale Monday morning, November 6th.
