Miss Charlotte Walker will be seen at
the Belasco Theater tomorrow night and
all the week in Hubert Henry Davies elev-
er comedy. Cousin Kate" The continue
tion OF Miss Walkers season at the Be
lasco is made possible only through the
courtesy of David Belasco, who has con-
sented to let her stay in Washington un-
Ill the last moment before being actually
needed for the rehearsals Of the new play
in which he will star her early in the
coming season. Miss Walkers original
contract for her starring season at the
Belasco Theater expired last week, but the
message from Mr.. Belasco made it possi-
bic for her to renew it, though with the
distinct understanding that her season
here might be terminated almost any
day by telegram from her new manager.
Cousin Kate" is a delightful romantic
comedy in which two worldly people
with a fondness for romance tell each
other fairy stories in a great deserted
house. fall in love, and then find they are
separated because the man in the case is
already engaged TO marry the girls cou-
sin. Miss Walker appears as Kate Curtis,
a novelist who has written books about
the absurdity of love and marriage.
While she is en- route 20 attend the mar
rtage Of her cousin, Amy Spencer, she
encounters an attractive young man on
the train and shares her lunch with
him. Later, in a great deserted house,
this same man looks through the win
dow, and follows her inside the house
In very pretty love scene, where they
make tea together and he tells her the
story of the three little bears, Kate
learns that her ideas of love and mar
riage are all wrong. She has fallen in
love with this attractive stranger. whose
name she does not know. and he has fall
en- love with her. Then. when they con-
fess the truth, she learns that the man
IS Heath Desmond, engaged to marry
her Cousin Amy. How the tangle is un-
Taveled without breaking any hearts
Is prettily told. Amy has already come
under the influence of a clergyman who
has taught her some Of the serious re-
sponsibllities of life. and the match with
Heath is broken off in a very humorous
scene. The whole play is pitched in a
key of romantic seriousness and semi
foOlishness that is charmingly original
and attractive. No one can blame Heath
Desmond for falling in love with Kate.
even If he is already engaged, and the
manly way in which he gets out of his
first engagement in order to enter upon
the second shows him in a favorable
light. Miss Walker viii have the best
comedy role Of her entire summer sea-

An Editors Appeal.


The following appeal Of a Western edi-
tor is still going the rounds, although it
is TO be hoped that by this time the
writer's only trouble is in having his vest
made large enough:
we see by an esteemed contemporary
that a young lady in Chicago is so par
ticular that she kneads bread with her
gloves on. What OF that? The editor Of
this paper needs bread with his coat on;
he needs bread with his trousers on, in
fact, he needs bread with all of his
clothes on. And if some of his creditors
don't pay up pretty quick he'll need bread
without anything at all on. and this
Western climate Is no Garden of Eden"
