The Romantic Comedy In Which MIhn
CrelKliton Opens the New Theatre.
The Story of "A Colonial Girl,” the
romantie comedy in which Bertha
Creighton will appear at the Star
Theatre on next Thursday evening, is
a singularly picturesque one.
Godfrey Remsen, a young Ameri
can, returns from England to claim
an estate be has inherited. On his
arrival he finds that his sweetheart
has jilted him and married a wealthy
English nobleman. He meets in a
romantic fashion, a young country
Miss Bertha Creighton.
girl, Mollie Hedden, whom he rescues
from the brutality of some British
soldiers at his own door. In despair
at the perfidy of his fiance, and
pleased with the beauty and gratitude
of the winsome Mollie, he suddenly
conceives the idea of marrying her to
spite his false sweetheart. With a
girl’s love of romance and filled with
gratitude, Mollie consents. At this
juncture Lady Judith, Ramseu’s old
love appears, and causes an estrange
ment between Godfrey and Mollie by
telling the young wife of her hus
band's relation to herself. Humilia
ted and heart-broken, Mollie is as
clay in the hands of the designing
Lady Judith, who convinces her that
Godfrey repents of bis hasty marriage
and yearns for his old love. At the
same time she causes Godfrey to be
lieve that his wife has compromised
herself with a Captain Lovelace of
the British army. By a trick she
causes Mollie to place in the hands ot
the commanding general information
proving her husband to be a spy of
Washington. Godfrey overhears his
capture being planned bj the British
and believing that Mollie has betray
ed him, vehi-mentiy reproaches her
for her treachery and makes his es
cape. After weeks of separation he
finally learns of Lady Judith’s dupli
city. Wild for a glimpse of the wife,
be has misjudged, he returns to his
home by a secret passage in time to
hear Captain Lovelace wager that he
will bring Mollie to a roystering offi
cer’s suppt-r that night and com
promise her. Godfrey disguises him

the foppish young Lord Beaufort, and
attends the supper party. When his
wife appears and is insulted by Love

and strikes tiie insolent cap‘uin ir.
return for the affront to his wife. A
duel follows in which Lovelace is
killed. At this juncture a night alarm
is sounded. Washington has attacked
the city with bis ‘ Liberty Boys” who
burst into the room and rescue God
frey. The curtain falls upon the re
conciliation of Godfrey and Mollie, to
the inspiring strains of Yankee
Doodle, and all ends happily.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW.
“The Taming of the Shrew” is the one Shakespearean comedy weighted with
a moral, yet withal the most spontaneous in its humor, the merriest, airiest
and the freest from flaw; the o* e o’ all best aiiuD'cC for modern stage pur
poses. No other Shakespearean play has a more interesting history, and in
none other is the genius of Shakespeare more masterly in contrast with the
work from which he look his story. It wiil be j resented at the new Star
