Thorns to Roses" At the piano she sang
several popular songs, among them being
THE Last Rose of Summer" Annie
Laurie" and Coming Thro' the Rye"
Her best number at the piano was
Little Alabama Coon" She closed her
act with Harry Won Tilzer's Il Want
Girl" She injects an abundance OF come
dy in this number and was obliged to
make a little talk to each audience. AL
together her act is one of class, and 1t
is not too much to say that nothing like
it has ever appeared in a popular-price
theater in Washington before.
Another conspicuous hit on the bill is
-Four Hundred Miles From Broadway"
in which Catherine Chaloner and her
company appear to excellent advantage.
Miss Chaloner demonstrated that she is
a versatile artist, one who can go from
comedy to the heart-interest and back
again at will. Mr.. O'Dowd and Miss
Rose have a clever singing and dancing
number, in which they do some fast
work and Introduce some good travesty
work. Guy Hunter, the blind enter
tainer. sang several good songs, and
Cowboy Williams was all there as a can
non ball and heavyweight juggler. He
has a good act, and closes the show IN
fine style. New photo plays open and
close each performance.

Americans Barred Out of Russia.

The largely attended meeting held in
New York last Sunday to protest
against Russia's action in prohibiting a
certain class OF American citizens from
entering that country demonstrates that
a serious question is to be kept promi-
nently before the American people
In violation OF the treaty of 1882, Rus
sia refuses entry t. American citizens of
Jewish birth, even though they be duly
identified by passports issued by this
government. For some reason or other
the numerous instances wherein Russia
has mistreated these citizens have been
passively regarded by the United States.
Various Secretaries of State have con-
tented themselves with merely inviting
the attention Of the Russian govern
ment in a formal manner to the unfair
discrimination.
Either the treaty ought to be sacredly
observed by Russia or it ought to be
abrogated. An American citizen armed
with passport should not be denied
admittance to the territory of any na-
ton with which we are on terms of
good will

THE GAYETY.

"The Girls from HappyIand."
Well, they were the girls from Happy
land. all right. and from the reception
they received from the front they deliv-
cred the goods with great effect. The
show is one in which there is a laugh
minute, and all the girls and principals
work with a will that is catching.
OF course, Billy W. Watson needed no
introduction, and his first appearance on
the stage last night was the signal for
loud applause, and after that he kept
them going strong for the rest of the
show. His running mate. Joe Buckley,
is a good one, and cornered a great many
laughs. June Adair, has a mezzo-soprano
voice Of excellent quality; her songs were
well rendered and she received generous
applause. The bright spot of the show
was Ida Dayton; she took the house from
pit to gallery. This show to be a little
different had two soubrettes, Margie Aus
tin and Nellie Watson, who handled their
parts in good style.
The oliO is far above the average. and
at least three Of the four acts were cork
ers. Ernest and Adele Yerxa in a balanc-
ing novelty act took the house. The Four
HarmOnists sang several songs, and the
audience was lOath to let them go. George
Garden well merits his title of worlds
best xylophonist, and Margie Austin and
Mabel Blake were good in their song and
dancing act

The United States and China.

With the spreading rebellion in China
threatening the existence OF the in-
perial government, a situation may soon
be presented which will require the ex-
ercise of wisest craftsmanship.
This government has, in the past,
taken a decided stand in favor Of pre-
serving the integrity Of China. 1t has
been a position somewhat sentimental,
inasmuch as we certainly cannot prevent
by force the dismemberment of the en-
pire, if such action be undertaken by
foreign powers We must limit our
selves to serious protest. Russia and
Japan, on the other hand. need only to
ignore or perfunctorily acknowledge our
objections Should Manchuria be an
nexed by either country, there is no pos
sibility OF American interference.
But we must, on the other hand pro-
tect to the extent of our ability the lives
and property of American citizens in
China if the Chinese government proves
incapable of fulfilling its duty in that
particular 1t is the glory of the Brit
ish subject that he is always under the
aegis of his country's flag, We cannot
afford to be less regardful Of Our own
people, wherever they may be, provided
that they are obeying the law and pur-
suing peaceful avocations. We can and
should do this without becoming in
volved in the greedy Vaccinations of
foreign powers.
Abdul Hamid must feel like a man who
had been compelled to occupy the Cy-
clone cellar just before the hurricane.

THE COSMOS.
Vaudeville.

If any question regarding the drawing
powers of the present bill at the Cosmos
remained in the minds Of any theater-
goer, It was quickly dispelled by the
capacity audiences which gathered at
both the matinee and evening perform
ances yesterday. Greater enthusiasm has
never been evoked at the theater than
that which greeted the Five AIvords in
their clever musical sketch, THE Fresh
Air Fund" which involves popular songs,
light fantastic dancing, comedy that is
sparkling and effervescent, and which
was sure fire. from its very start
Nor was this neIodious and sparkling
playlet without rivals for headline hon.
ors. Summerlin and McMullen presented
a sketch showing some phases. of life on
"the road" as the actors ca1l,, ii, aud
some excellent emotional work was
shown. Tom Kerr, thu street violinist,"
is extremely clever, particularly in his
imitation Of a prayer meeting on the in
strument that looks like a blend Gf q
talking machine and a cello. Winnie
Stewart, who Is rightly denominated "the
girl with the barytone voice." sang many
popular song hits and ballads in a man
ner which won instant approval from her
audience The La Bellies have juggling
and hoop-rolling act which is as skillful
and funny as any act OF its type seen on
the local vaudeville stage for months.
The films include the Pathe review of
current events which are now one Of

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville,

Intensely absorbing, with every line n
moral and interpreted by a symbolical
cast of twenty-one players, is George
V. Hobart's "Everywife," drama in
four scenes depicting twentieth century
marital conditions along old-time ideas
as presented at Chase's yesterday.
1t is a playlet of touching interest.
which merits the highest success in
vaudeville. Everyhusband, after a
month Of welded bliss, is led astray by
Jealousy; Rhyme helps him on his way,
but Reason sticks close beside him.
points out his erring ways, makes him
realize his love for his wife, and returns
him to her.
The playlet is elaborateIy staged in
four scenes-the home, the stage door.
Everyhusband's club. and the home
again. Margaret Greene is a charming
Everywife. Albert Parker a remarkably
clever symbol of Everyhusbend. The
other parts are interpreted by adequate
players. Gertrude Dunlop, as Squabin
enacts the role of a typical chorus girl
who, hearing Reasons arguments that
Everyhusband should not take her to a
wine supper, passes him up" rather
than be a hOme-wrecker.
Rhyme and Reason are excellentIy
portrayed by Fred Montague and ]. NJ
Colville, while Matt Wheeler, as Nobody,
whose prologues open each scene, was
happily received.
The return of Toot's Paka's Hawaiians
met instantaneous favor at the popular
Avenue playhouse after a seasons alb
sence. Their fascinating folk songs, in
strumental music, and Miss Pakas
dances were enthusiastically applauded.
Barry and Wolford scored with a con-
glomeration of jingles, jokes, and songs.
Kate Watson, "a breeze from the
West" Captivated her audiences with
her eccentric topics and songs Of a rural
community. The Three Saytons, con-
tortionists, present a novelty in the
form of the crocodiles' transformation,
their back-splitting feats being Of a
stellar order. The daylight motion pic
lures this week are Of special interest,
as they show the recent parade and in
cidents of the Yelled Prophets conven-
ton in this city.

Our Parole System.

According to the Attorney General
the working of the Federal parole law
has been a success, as not one Of its
benehcIaries has proved a disappoint-
ment This modern theory is gaining
ground in our penal system In Euro
pean countries, especially in Germany
under the federal criminal law of the
empire, more emphasis is placed upon
reformative than punitive purposes.
While a case like that of Mr. Walsh
is given wide publicity, and may even
suggest the thought that position or in
fiuence are operative in setting aside the
verdict OF the law, the same leniency is
extended to scores of others of whom
the public hears nothing.
One year, however, is hardly sufi-
cient time to test the parole practice,
and the people seem to demand stern
er enforcement of the punitive side as
a deterrent of crime, and will hesitate
to accept Mr.. Understands sugges-
ton to extend the parole to life-termers,
or those imprisoned for capital crime.
At the convention of the American
Prison Association, before which Mr..
Wickersham spoke, Judge De Courcey,
of the Supreme bench of Massachusetts,,
presented statistics of homicide in the
United States, which argued directly to
the contrary of the Attorney Generals
idea. There were in this country last
year 8o75 murders. In New York City
alone there were IIo-exactly 100 more
than in London-while according to
available international compilations the
homicide rate in the United States was
II8 per million inhabitants, as compared
with IS in Italy and only 9 in England
The increase in lesser crime is cor
respondingly large. While the law
should be mereiful, and give every Of

THE VIRGINIA.
Motion Pictures.

Nothing could exceed in forcefulness OF
action or beauty Of setting the motion
picture of Hamlet, to be seen at the Vir-
ginia, beginning to-day and costinuing the
rest Of the week. The prologue, showing
King Hamlet's murder. precedes the
ghost-walking scene. Hamlet learns of
his fathers cruel murder ard realizes that
vice and villiany flourish on the throne
OF Denmark. Reader and student that he
is, he knows that he alone must take
arms against this sea Of troubles, and by
opposing end them.
He renounces Ophelia and her right to
love and happiness, and assumes the role
OF Insanity to cloak his purpose The
action opens with the stabbing of Polo
MUS, and moves through the madness
and death of Ophelia to the final catIs-
trophe.

Justice Harlan on Public Opinion

OD1n1On.
From the Chicago Tribune
Speaking in New York shortly before
his death, AIr. Justice Harlan made the
following emphatic statement of his
confidence in public opinion:
The people mean what is right, and
the most certain thing in all the public
affairs Of this country is that if you
give the people time to think and dis
cuss all the public questions fully and
fairly before them. their final Judgment
is better than the judgment of any polit-
iCal convention"
These are words Of man whose ex-
perience Of the American public and
whose powers of judgment were not
ordinary. They were not careless words.
They have American history to back
them, and it would be well for men who
are so savagely attacking the various
proposals for direct action by the people
to ponder them: The most certain thing
in ali the public affairs of this country"
He who does not believe with Justice
Harlan is not Ii believer in democracy.
