The Cosmos-VaudeviIIe.

From the point OF view OF melody. the
programme provided at the Cosmos this
week could hardly be excelled. There is
music of the highest grade provided, COM
bined with plenty of catchy, lifting airs
of the popular style. The Five OremOrs
are the headIiners, providing a melange
Of musical numbers on the marimbaphone

generally held to be one OF the most
eloquentIy expressive of all instruments.

who hear it.

Washington Symphony Orchestra.

On Tuesday afternoon at 4:45 o'clock
the Washington Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction of Heinrich Hammer,
will offer the second concert OF its tenth
season at the Columbia Theater. The
favorable comments passed upon this or
ganization of f1fty-five instrumentalists

those prominent in social and musical
circles are factors which have tended to

ira upon the firmest foundation among
the musical organizations Of this city.
In the ten years of its history the
Washington Symphony Orchestra has
or one more deserving of the encomiums
which have been uttered regarding its
artistic work than Ernest Hutcheson.
who will appear with the orchestra next
Tuesday. Mr.. Hutcheson represents a
type OF performer who, by his intel
lectual and executive attitude to his
work. provides a standard Of which more
frequent demonstration is needed.
Mr.. Hutcheson has decided to present
the Concerto in d minor by George F.
Boyle, one of the younger generation Of
composers This concerto, which will be
given its initial performance in WASH
ington, has received the highest praise
wherever II has been played.
AS an opening number the orchestra
will be heard in Liszt's symphony poem,
"Ce qu'on entend sur Ia montague" This
composition was inspired by the poem
of the same title by Victor Hugo, which
the poet read from manuscript to a
circle of literary and musical friends
The impression it made upon Liszt lasted
for years, until he freed himself from it
by this composition, which became the
germ Of his series of symphonic poems
The sketch of this number was dated
1S47. the orchestration 1S49, first per-
formed in 1858 at Weimar. revised in 1854
and again in 1856, and finally published
in 1851.

Beauty may be only skin-deep, but
| mighty few OF US would ever make

ned; and it's up to us who have made
the journey to keep the cuticle on
| Thus spoke the Widow in The Real
Thing the comedy that Henrietta
Crosman and her company will present
at the Belasco Theater this week.
THE Real Thing was written by
Catherine Chisholm Cushing, a Wash
ington society woman, and to judge
from the quotations Of the play that
have been heard hereabouts, she has
got this husband, wife. and mother
business about sized up right. She does
not believe in plays with lessons, or If
| they are lessons, they ought to be SO
sugar-coated with laughs and interest
that the dear public will swallow them
without the usual bitter taste
The story of the play is something like
this:
A girl, champion tennis player, singer,
athlete, all around good fellow, marries
Husband, attracted by these very things
fell in love with her or them. Soon as
married wife becomes absorbed in house
hold duties and raising her husbands S
family.
Dutiful mother? Yes: but she forgets
her husband.
Sister comes along. She's been mar
ried, now a widow. Astonished when she
learns her sister is too busy looking
after her family to ever go anywhere
with her husband. More astonished
when she sees her brother-in-law kissing
wife's understudy, but too sensible TO
tell wife. Simply decides TO awaken the
wife to the fact that she has a husband,
and because she is married does not
mean that she can go about in curl pa
pers and dressing sacques all the time.
The remaking of the wife and the
spoiled children and the dear husband
accomplished in time, but the widow
forgets she has her own love affair. and
gets all tangled up in that Eventually
everything turns out right and every
body is happier than they ever were be-
fore.
