Charles Kellogg.

Kellogg, the great American naturalist
and ornithologist, has emerged from NJ
teen years OF life among the ''woodfolk"
and has amazed scientists, the press,
and the public by his wonderful demon
strations. He has learned fifteen animal
languages and can interpret the ideas
conveyed by the sounds made by lions,
tigers, bears, panthers wolves, snakes.
dogs. and other wild or domesticated
animals He can sing with the same
tones and in the same language the birds
do in their night calls and IN their daily
outbursts OF JOY. These gifts make him
one of the most remarkable human beings
of all time
The average human voice runs about
2h octaves. while Mime. Tetrazzinrs scars
through 81, but Kellogs's covers the
almost incredible range of 12A. or nine
octaves more than Tetrazzinfs range,
and his lowest note is the same as the
great prima donna's highest.
Mr.. Kellogg has just returned from
Europe, where he gave demonstrations
OF his unique power before professors Of
the universities of Paris and Berlin.
While awaiting an opportunity to appear
before Harvard Colleges scientists, Mr..
Kellogg is making a limited tour of polite
vaudeville and comes to Chase's next
week.
Though I convinced the savants Of
Europe of the truth of my contentious"
said he, II shall not rest content until
the professors of Harvard University
have likewise acknowledged my powers.
Since Prof. Hugo Munste-berg revealed
to the world the miserable tricks by
which the so-called medium. Mime. Palla-
dini, imposed upon both lay and scien-
tific Europe for twenty years, the intel
ligent public has been inclined to await
the verdict of Harvard before accepting
any conception which wanders far from
the beaten paths"

The Cosmos-vaudeviIIe.

A sensational programme has been ar
ranged for the Cosmos Theater this
week. 1t Is exceptionally notable be-
cause of the fact that the far-famed
headliner, the Cowboy Minstrels. one of
the Iivest and breeziest acts in present.
day vaudeville. will be seen there. There
are few acts which portray the spirit of
the West so well, few that have so much
breezy comedy and song and dance red
olent of the plains. They are splendid
entertainers, and vaudeville lovers are
certain to have a treat.
Young and Phelps will have an excel
lent sketch to present in Shakespeare S
Misfortune" which is full of clever pro-
team work. and Gertrude Black has few
peers as a singing comedienne among her
vaudeville rivals. She has a batch of
new and catchy songs to offer. AS 4

droll patter that is sure to make a hit,
and Prince AMI Deerie have an original
singing and talking act. Pathe's weekly

Chase's-PoIite Vaudeville.

Will be at the helm of fun at Chase's
this week. This famous character come
dian, who has starred in The Peddler, -
"A Business Man. The Land of the
Free" and other musical dramas is in
polite vaudeville pending another pro-
duction in which he will appear later in
the season in the high-priced theaters.
Mr.. Welch has been called the warheld
of vaudeville and neither Mr.. Warfeld
nor he has ever protested. AS a matter
of fact when the former left vaude-
vile for The Music Master" The Auc-
tioneer'' and other character triumphs,
his mantle fell upon the shoulders of
Welch. 1t Is not an exaggeration to
state that there is not another comedian

MaJestic-"The Mouse Girl"

With a prestige of two weeks estab-
lished with the patrons of the Majestic
Theater, that popular little comedienne
Clara Turner will launch ht. third week
of successful stock with Costello Lip
pitts The Mouse Girl" this week. The
mouse girl is a character that is strange
ly fitting to the ability of Miss Turner s
powers, who is seen to great advantage
in this role. Shes a strange little being
and, the strange part of IT, she may be
your sister, your mother, your wife, your
sweetheart
And for that reason Mr.. Lippitt has
woven a play around this quaint and
strange little being" But after unfold
ing you forget all, for you have come
face to face with what is going on in
your own inner life; the play so real,
its characters so real, and the story So
absorbing TO ones self that you wonder
why this style and kind of a play has
never been brought out before.

Lyceum-''The Lady Buccaneer.."

Lyceum-''The Lady Buccaneers"
The Lady Buccaneers" which will be
the attraction at the Lyceum Theater all
Of this week, will probably prove a rev.
elatton TO the patrons of that popular
house. The Lady Buccaneers has held
high place as one Of the very best per-
formances in its particular armament for
number of years past, and the manage
ment claims to have evolved a show this
season that will linger in the memory of
the burlesque devotee as something en-
tirely out Of the ordinary. 1t is a pro-
duction for the like OF which local the
atergoers have frequentl paid $2 per
seat at the high-priced theaters, with no
more than half the satisfaction that may
be enjoyed in witnessing "a Million for
Nose" which is the title OF the comedy
now being exploited by the fair pirates. Z"
The farce deals with the trials and tribu-
lations of an itinerant dermatologist, who
for a stipulated sum, agrees to make
every woman as handsome as the daugh-
ter of King Argos. but his 'beautifying''
experiments usually turn out disastrous
for his patients, and transforms into any
thing but "a thing of beauty or "a joy
forever" The estire comedy Is filled to
the brim with amusing incidents, fun OF
sparkle and sunshine, and is voted to be
the one bright spoke in the burlesque
wheel"

The COIumbia-CharIes Cherry, in
'The Seven Sisters"


The Seven Sisters a sprightly, live
Iy comedy, full of humorous incident and
fun that is thoroughly wholesome. will
be presented at the Columbia next week,
under the direction of Mr.. Daniel Froh-
man, with Charles Cherry as the star,
supported by the New York Lyceum
Theater Company. The play was one
of the big successes of last season in
Washington, and made such a fine I'm
preston that it will surely have a most
cordial greeting Monday night.
The story Is based on the efforts OF a
widowed mother to marry off her daugh-
ters in proper order. it being the Gus
tom of the country to see that the eld-
est is married first. the others in the
meantime being held in the background.
Four of the sisters have reached mar
riaseable age, but the most attractive
one, the fourth, has been sent to a con-
vent. In the first act is shown the home
of the sisters, the eldest being prettily
attired and ready for the matrimonial
market. The others, though equally at
tractive, are compelled to wear short
dresses and their hair in long braids
The fourth sister returns home unex-
pectedly, having been dismissed from
the convent for a madcap pranx. Her
mother learns that Il young man has
paid her fare home, End feeling the DIS
grace of her dismissal and the appre-
hension for her presence at home. COM
pels her to change her dress for that
of more youthful age. Shortly after
ward the young man, a wealthy count,
Lieut. Horkoy, comes to the widows
home, and is amazed at seeing the con-
vent girl whom he had met in such
childish attire. He learns from her the
conditions of the family affairs, and
makes a bargain with her that for
three kisses he will marry off her three
eldest sisters. She agrees on condition
that she will pay her wager on the
morning Of the third girls marriage
From this moment on the complications
begin, and their schemes are developed
with much hilarity through three acts
At the close of the third act certain COM
plications arise by which the Lieutenant
and MiCt come to a grave misunder-
standing. but in the end matters are ad-
justed to the happiness of the entire
family. Besides Charles Cherry, the
cast includes Wilfred Draycott Regi-
nald Mason, CASTOR Bell John B. Hol-
lis, Joseph Attention, Miss Jean Murdoch.
Mrs. Adeline Stanhope-Wheatcr Miss

rus, of which there are twenty, have

their latest, The Deep Purple a drama
of the New York underworld, which
comes to the Belasco Theater this week,

both kinds of crooks in the same play.

wits and not mechanical skill TO rob their
victims. In the gang are Pop" Clarke
and Harry Leland. played respectively by
W. J. Ferguson and Robert Cain. Pop"
though not the central figure, is a sort
of lean Falstaf up to date. He plays
upon the foibles of humanity, being
crooked principally because he lacks the
energy to apply his wits to a better end
