IMPERIAL

The electrical act of Macdonald. a
novel playlet given by Katheryn M.
Wayne and Kelcey Conboy. Fennell and
Tyson. and Green and Parker, In sing
Ing and dancing. and Leslie Thurston,
xy!ophone soloist, comprise the vaude-
vile bill at the Imperial Theater for
the week.
"The Claim Agent" is the name of the
new skit that Conboy and Wayne pre-
sent. The attempt of the woman to
put over fax eclaim on the street car
company, and her unmasking by the
clever claim agent give chance for real
satire and humor
The crackle and snap of electricity
and the mysterious flashes of light and
fire that Macdonald, called the "Elec-
trical Wizard" produces is an interest
ing and mystifying act.
Leslie Thurston. in her xylophone
performance gives a range of selections,
from grand opera to the ragtime. She
Is thoroughly skilled and trained play
er.
Green and Parker. and Fennell and
Tyson give two singing and dancing
turns that are clever and catchy.
The five acts and the motion pictures

DISTINCTIVE HONOR
PAID. TO ELT|NGE AS
FASCINATING WIDOW
Four Curtain Calls Given
After Last Act at
Columbia.

To have four curtain calls after the
curtain has been rung down for the
final act Is seldom experienced by visit
ing players In Washington, yet this was
the well merited reception accorded Ju-
lian Eltinge, who, with his company, in
'The Fascinating Widow" delighted
two holiday audiences at the Columbia
yesterday.
"The Fascinating Widow is not new
to Washington, 1t having been here dur
ing Thanksgiving week last year, but
the theatergoers' familiarity with this
energetic and attractive lady did not In
the slightest degree detract from the
enjoyment of the play. Some of the
lines have been changed. and the change
has worked to advantage. The several
spots where the action dragged in the
former performance, have all been elm
mated.
There are no serious moments In tho
career of this widow, and from the time

apparel, 20 create the character. until
the audience Is in a continuous uproar.

excellent one, and with but one inipor-

company that played THE Fascinating
