MidWaY-Arcade.

Crowds have thronged the Midway dur
ing the past week. The matinees at the
Midway are very popular with children,
and the afternoons see the Midway as full
of children as the nights see it thronged
with older people.
A feature of the Midway that has grown
popular since the crowds began to have
fun with the roulette wheel is the tier of
boxes just above the wheel. Many people
who do not care to join in with the crowd
which Is trying to master the slippery, re-
volving disc sit in the boxes all the even
ing and have plenty of fun simply watch
ing the antics Of the more energetic.
There is a great mystery about the
cyclone tunnel In the Midway, and there
are a great many persons WHO have never
visited Ii as yet. At the bureau of infor-
nation, right next to the tunnel, it is
possible to find out all about what Is in
the tunnel.

"Penelope."

Washington theatergoers who have seen
Lady Frederick and laughed at Jack
Straw have another Vaughan comedy
to engage their attention the coming
week, for Charles Frohman is to present
Miss Marie Tempest in Penelope, at
the New National Theater for eight per-
formances, beginning next Monday night.
Penelope is, it is stated, the cleverest
of the Vaughan comedies; 1t is light and
frothy, but with brilliancy of dialogue
and cleverness Of aphorism which is found
in al of this playwright's offerings Pene-
lope OFarrell. the wife of rising ply
stefan who is particularly fond OF her
lord and master, makes the very interest
ing discovery that he is particularly at
tracted by the charms of certain grass
widow, and the story of the play concerns
principally how she cures HIM of his IN
fatuation and brings him back to her side
Thoroughly repentant. AS comedenne
Miss Tempest is generally looked upon
as the English Rejane, for her work is
of that quality that is akin to greatness
and her knowledge of getting her COMEDY
over the footlights might said to be the
last word" This dainty lady has not
been in Washington since the days when
she was q comic opera prima donna.
