Last night at Luna Park an innovation
was added to the twoscore or more of
outdoor amusements reveled in by the
crowds that nightly visit the big and
merry resort by the Potomac. The big
vaudeville show opened its seasons en-

the cloudy skies and threatening wealth

grounds swarmed with a large attend

undoubtedly will prove a magnet that
will attract the crowds during the sum-

The recent inclement weather did not
serve to deprive the park OF a goodly at
tendance each night, while on fair,
warm evenings the very capacity, great
as 1t is, Of the resort has been taxed
to handle those bent on an evening s

a matter Of considerable interest. The
Mysterious Mrs. Hopkins opened the

charming performance of Peter Pan

most fortunate that she has so far recov-

as Violet Vivian, who had appeared with

Vagabonds' offering at the Belasco The
ater next week. The large number Of
very important parts has prevented many
stock organizations from giving the play,
but wherever produced in stock 1t has
been most successful, and sothern kept
it in his repertoire for several years.
The vagabonds will have a splendid
chance to show the strength Of their COM

ton. Francois villon, the vagabond poet

legend, is the hero. Of McCarthy's play,
which tells how Louis XI came upon the

yides him with an opportunity to prove
his assertions, and Villon rises splendidly
to the occasion, leading the Kings
troops to victory and winning high

of the tensest and most effective theatre
cal situations, and while written in prose,
the beauty of its lines almost entities It
to rank as poetic drama

season and one that has never been
seen in this city, despite the success 1t
attained elsewhere, is in preparation by
the Columbia Players for production

reason it has never before been brought
to this city. 1t is a society comedy. and
will be embellished with some OF the
handsomest gowns that have yet been
seen upon the Columbia stage.

The air washing and refrigerating plant
recently installed at the Cosmos began

penditure. The Cosmos is the only thea

the new plant doubtless will add greatly
to the attractiveness Of the theater The
hot weather has been robbed Of its ter
rors, and the Cosmos will run continu-
ously throughout the summer. ~.
