THE STAGE
LYCEUM.

About the best German comedian
i'm the business Is holding forth IN
the Lyceum this week. as one or the
chief fun-makers In The Newlyweds
and Their Baby" ana his name -
Murphy, George u. Murphy IL seems
rather odd, at first, TO hear man
with a name like that rolling ms
RS" and singing typical Deutscher
songs. but Murphy gets away with IL
in great shape and he's the big hit
OF the piece this year as he was last.
All the honors not monopolized Dy
Herr Murphy are appropriated py
James r.. Rosen, who 10 seen In the
dual role OF Maj. Knott Much ana
"Snookums." the Newlyweds' BABY,
about whom the action centers. MIR.
Rosen has keen sense OF humor
and has plenty OF opportunity TO dis.
play IT, His makeup as "Snookums
is simply immense, and he lives up
10 the part in every way.
The current production is practical
k a replica OF last years, but II Is
well-worth seeing again. Even the
same songs are retained and some OF
them are catchy. Perhaps the big
gest scream OF the show, Sunday,
was Murphys songs with piano ac-
compartment. table serving as the
piano" Olga Van Hatzfeldt is again
seen as Mrs Newlywed. She dis
plays some charming gowns and a
pleasing voice. The Papa Newlywed
OF Leo Hayes conformes 10 the popu'
lar conception CT that worthy.
The situations in the "Newlyweds
are in themselves sufficient to excite
the risibilities, but OF course the
pleasure is greatly enhanced With
two such clever mirth-makers as
Murphy and Rosen in the cast. These
two could keep an audience amused
through two or three acts without
any assistance.
The chorus comprises few good
looking girls, who are we'll drilled
and well-gowned for the most part.

GAYETY.

One OF the brightest and most anus
in shows burlesque lovers have seen
for several weeks was presented in
the Gayety Sunday, by Gallager e
Sheans Big Banner Show There Is
snap and go about the whole produc-
ton from first to last that was heart
lily enjoyed by bumper house, and
big weeks business should result.
The company presented a two-act bur
lesque on Mamie Gilroy's great hit
The Girl From Paris" with Edna
Davenport taking the leading part
She had the able assistance OF Mabel
Leslie, Annette Goldie, Ed Gallager,
AL Shean. Will Beam and Thomas De
Vassy
The chorus includes bunch OF
bright, lively girls, who entered into
their work as though they really en-
joyed IL. and they were given several
hearty encores.
The olio numbers were excellent
Annette Goidie contributed several
southern songs in her usual vigorous
manner, roaring out the melodies
in voice that was somewhat
louder than a steam calliope. The
Les Jundts, ALI and Iva, do a clever
turn at head balancing; and Gallager
and Shean appear in laughable
naval travesty, The Battle OF Bay
Rum, In which they work off some
really new and clever jokes.

and his sweetheart united after siren
uous experience. have a hilarious
time In the Lafayette this week, where
Billy the Kid" holds forth
Billy the Kid" is first introduced as
William ;. right, child Of happy
home with his parents. Then the
mcin evil-doer comes along in the
shape OF Boyd Denver, his real father,

and Billy does not know OF the cir
cumstance until three acts later Den.
yer sees q big fortune II he can get
the woman To elope with him. but she
repulses him, and he kills her and her
husband Billy unerringly suspects
Denver. and declares dramatically that
he will follow him 10 the end OF the
world. This brings the first curtain.
In the second act, Billy has become
an outlaw, and a quarter-sheet poster
in the barroom of the Broken Heart
saloon offers reward for his cap
ture, dead or alive Billy and a sher
iff's posse appear simultaneously. the
lights go out and there is revolver
battle. When the lights are switched
on again. Billy stands twirling his re-
volver on his thumb with windrow
of dead around him. Then comes the
curtain. In the third act. there Is a
lively scrimmage in the dining room
! of Col Bradley. friend of Billy's child
! hood and father of Nellie, who be
lieves in Billy though others turn
against him. The last act disposes
% Boyd Denver and reunites Billy and
the young lady

a few days ago went to the Cooley home
to kill the dogs. as required by law in
all cases where the tax is not paid by a
certain date.
Mr.. Cooley. however. was not willing
to have his dogs killed, and told Hesse
so. The officer decided he had better not
attempt to destroy the dogs just then.
Yesterday Hesse came to Rockville and
swore out warrant before Justice Read

OBJECT TO STREET GRADE.
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens Make
REQUEST of Commissioners,

At a meeting OF the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association last even
ing by unanimous vote the associa-
ton directed its secretary to request the
engineer department of the District to
make 3 per cent grade on Rhode Island
avenue between Lincoln road and 4th
street. At the last session Of Congress
$4,000 was appropriated for that pur-
pose. The engineer department made
surveys and established a grade for that
part OF Rhode Island avenue at 3 per
cent. Because of objections by property
owners in the immediate vicinity the
engineer department consented to do the
work on basis of per cent grade.
this grade, II Is declared, being out OF
proportion to the established grade on
with a proposed cut between Mills ave-
nue. and 18th street. 1t was the sense Of
the association that unless the grade
was made at per cent the main thor
oughfare for that section of the city TO
reach the business part of Washington
would be practically useless.
Among the subjects discussed was the
grading OF Montana avenue at 18th street
northeast in front of the newly built
clubhouse. A special committee was d.
rected to invite the attention Of the Com
missioners to the recent grade in front
of the clubhouse and request that Irving
street east Of the Episcopal Church be
graded by the chain gang.
