At the Cosmo.-vaudeviIIe.

The bookings for the Cosmos this week
display all the requisite qualities of a
well-balanced vaudeville bill, especially
in its comedy range. No top-Ine attrac-
ton seen in Washington vaudeville this
season can far outrank the clever play

by Thomas Brady, Ella Wilson and COM

Sea Islands, with the Sultan of the archi-
pelago finding an American sailor strand

other Sketch Of high value is "O'Brien

Bartlett. Its chief characteristic is the
fact that 1t does not burIesque or Carl

presents a true picture of them. The
fun is uproarious from start to finish
Col. Ned Seymour, who is a true
king of the cornet," will provide eccen-

Crowded houses being the rule last
week at the Majestic Theater, the man
agement has decided to retain this great
attraction for another week, starting to-
day at o'clock, and a continuous per-
formance Thanksgiving Day afternoon
from l till 5 o'clock. The vividness of
the illusions produced by the picture on
the minds of the audience has been the
cause of much discussion. Especially
vivid were the scenes in which rain of
fire was disclosed, and the living spirits
frozen in lakes of ice brought forth
shudders Of horror. In direct contrast,
however are those in which the beauti-
full Beatrice pleads with Virgil.

The Weeks Play Bills.
The CoIumbia-'"TheF First Lady in
the Land"

Ine CoIumD1a-'Tne Ftrst Lady IN
the Land"
Aside from the refreshing and whole
some comedy, elements in 1.-The First
Lady in the Land" in which Miss Elsie
Ferguson is to appear this week at the
Columbia Theater, there is an absorbing
interest of wonderful dramatic strength
in the newest Charles F. Nordlinger COM
edy.
1t will be recalled that Dolly Todd was
Philadelphia widowed Quakeress, forced
by circumstances to conduct an exclusive
boarding house and afterward ruling in
the White House for sixteen years. and
at her boarding house the action of the
play begins and also the rivalry between
Burr and Madison. There is a little ro-
mantle incident in the play involving a
high French heel, OF which history is
silent, but by means Of which Burr finds
he has not the field for Dolly's heart all
to himself. And this same incident
leads Madison to defend Burr in the halls
of Congress and incidentally results in
Burr introducing his rival to the sprightly
young woman Of their mutual choice.
Not only is the dignity Of history blend
ed into comedy, but the heroes of our
school days are made living, breathing
personages with human instincts that will
make them dearer than ever in our
memory.
Then there is a picture Of that memoir
able first state dinner at the newly erect
ed Presidents mansion in Washington,
when Jefferson in his traditional desire
for simplicity, precipitated one Of the
most famous social melees Of all times
by declining to fix any order Of prece-
dence for the guests to assemble at the
table. This incident was taken as
personal affront by the British Ambassa-
dor, and is held by some students to be,
the indirect cause OF the war OF 1872 with
Great Britain. But this state dinner is
only the bas-relief for the more inter
esting story of Dolly Todd's life being
worked out in the piece.
