Prominent on the bill are the Kitamura
Japs. that well-known troupe OF Oriental
athletes, who always furnish an interest

THE ACADEMY.
"Three Weeks"

Whether or not the capacity audience
that assembled at the Academy last night
to witness the first appearance In this
city of Elinor Glyn's Three Weeks was
entirely satisfied with what they saw is
not absolutely certain, for it Is rather a
question as 20 what the many readers Of
this sensational story really expected.
However. the verdict of many Of those
present was A favorable one. and while
there seems to be little excuse for the
presentation of play Of such proelivities
there is no doubt that the acting company
was an exceptionally we'll qualified one
for a playhouse of the second order.
Every one is familiar with the plot OF
Three Weeks" and the less said Of
this phase the better Suffice it. that the
scene is laid first in an imaginary king
dom Of the Balkan region OF Europe.
and later in Switzerland and Venice;
that the son OF a king appears in an
unsatisfactory light to his subjects by
reason Of the nonexistence Of an heir
apparent. and that HIS suggestion look
ing toward a future ruler for the realm
is followed out by the good queen, how
ever, more on account of love Of coun-
try than in pursuance Of the wish Of her
master. to a successful but tragic end
ing in which po.!teness and delicaey are
cast to the winds
The scenic arrangement Of the third
act. which is in Venice, is very pleasing.

esque gondolas.

The Very Midway.

The Midway, at Fourteenth street and
Park road northwest, has jumped TO the
forefront of Washington amusement
places during the one week that It has
been open TO the public. The innumer-
able amusements housed under one roof
constitute the most powerful enemy OF
the blues the Capital has ever had all its
own. There are sixty laughs minute
the instant the main entrance is passed.
1t is hard to pick a favorite among the
various attractions. They keep the crowds
constantly laughing. Each separate de-
vice has its staneh adherents and the
ensemble has disarmed the most exacting
pleasure seekers.
The crowds at the Midway-and they
have been record breaking caught
the carnival spirit. and that means I'M
alloyed fun. To-day the doors will be
open from 10 g. m. on for the benefit of
the holiday crowd.
