COLUMBIA THEATRE. - Charles Frohman's company with that famously funny comedian, James T. Powers, as the central figure of such well-known names as Frederic Robinson, R. F. Cotton, George Backus, Helen Kinnaird, Rachel Booth, W. R. Shirley, Charles Greene, Ella Gardiner and James Cody, will commence an engagement at the Columbia tonight, presenting here for the first time this pronounced comedy success, "The New Boy." "The New Boy" is a comedy in three acts by Arthur Law of London, and the author has reached the very climax of farcical effect. It was first produced in London nearly two years ago and is still being presented at the Vaudeville, Theatre, where it was originally done. It is entirely dissimilar in construction and locality to any of the humorous plays lately presented in this country and as a study of laughter it is said to be the most perfect, not that kind of laughter that succumbs to buffoonery, but that which yields to pure, jovial fun evolved by legitimate methods from the supremely humorous complications originating from a well-told, consistent story.
