COLLEGE WIDOW. Preaented to. London Thaatra Ooera By American Company. LONDON, April 21.-The British public had their first sample of "George Adc comedy'! last night in "The College Widow" which Henry W, Savage presented at the Adelphi Theater. The audience was composed largely of Americana and conspicuous in the boxes were Robert J. Wynne, the American consul general and his daughters and Mr, and Mr, Oscar Lewisohn (Edna May), The verdict on the play was in decisive; the Americans were entbusi asHc but the English spectators were interested and puzzled by turns. The management provided a glossary of Ceo Ade alang with the programs but much of the dialogue particularity the college along was Greek to the English contingent, Many of the best jokes were received in mclan choly silence. The company was almost entirely American and their acting more Am erican than the English were ac customed to, , The fall of the curtain was follow ed by some hooting but applause predominated. The newspaper comment is friend !y, " Aiagnincent, "stupendous" are the adjectives used, to criticize the third act. ascribed it to some yearning. ' From all thla you may guess that Mlaa Dobaon waa pretty, which waa very true, and, moreover, duluty and girlish, which does not alwaya follow, with wide gray eye and a glint of gold In her soft brown hair.

But tbla girl was younger end fresher and-well, different, Jim thought lie waa a chivalrous chnp, and he' lay wake 'nights thinking bow be might but bor audleuco forgot it in the gin niour of the scenes ahe apread before them. She recreated old parts ao freshly that the great manager could only won der how else they might bo played. Ancient and modern, from "8ho Stoops to Conquer" to "AIUe-81tby.tbe-Flre, and the aubtlctlea of "Candida," trag edy and comedy and problem ahe forgot her audience completely tlM an Involuntary "Dully!" from Jim, who could contain himself no longer, brought bar to herself. "Where did ybo learn to do it?" gasped Malcom Sturgla when Mlas Dobaon atood somewhat abashed In ber own personality. "Why, I've alwaya done It," ahe stammered. "Do you thlnk-do you think I will dor "Tea," be ana wared briefly, "I think yon will. Meet me here at 10 tomor row to talk over the contract" "Do yon mean for an engagement?" Iler eyea were wide with astonish ment "For an engagement," be said, and at the look of gratitude ahe gave him he auddenly conceived the possibility of a secondary meaning to the phrase. Aloud be only asked, "You haven't told ma your name yet, Miss" "Dobson," she replied, adding hur riedly, "but I can change It If you think another would be better." "'I have one In mind which might do better, I confess, but we will talk that over another time. Tbla baa been a very lucky trip for me." It seemed to Jim that matters bad gone far enough, and aa though aud denly Inspired he turned bla lever in a way which scut the car quickly to the street floor. Aa they passed out Miss Dobson gave his hand a little squeeze and whispered, "I'll never forget this. Jim," and the manager slipped bill Into the same receptacle. Jim grinned. "Shouldn't wonder If I'd made a match as well aa a star," he thought "Not a bad day'a work that!" DEVELOP .

Malcom Sturgla had given the boy a five dollar bill the previous Christmas and alwaya passed the time of day when be was not thinking about aome- hlng else, but somehow bla 'manner did not invito liberties. ' A second month passed while Jim ' still pondered over the problem, and Miss Dobfton'a neat black suit waa wearing shiny at tbo seams in spite of careful brushlnga. ' Then tbe end came. It was late In November, when tbe daya are very short and dusk falls early. Miss Dobson bad been welting for tbo tlmo when tbe door of the grent mnn's olllce should open and ahe be bidden to enter. , So she bad waited all these weary weeks, watching others pass In and out and reading on their faces what their fortunes had been. In spite of tbo duHpalr which aho ao often bow her own hope never faltered, for aho waa euro of herself and ber powers. , j ' For this reason Bhe was still sitting there, though It was after 6 and every- body had gone except the manager. 1 Suddenly the door opened, and Mai- ; com Sturgls hurried out and crossed the room Into tbe corridor outside, where the elevator was waiting. Tbe girl sprang up and followed, and tbe j door clanged upon them, tbe two of them, and Jim. ' 1 If it hadn't been for Jim-well, fail ure does not make an interesting story, i most peoplo think, for Miss Dobson ' was Just Blithering her wits for n j third appeal to the august man for a i bearing on the morrow when the ear stopped.
