AT THE COSMOS.
Vaudeville.


One OF the real vaudevillistic novelties
Of the year was the presentation OF an
'all-womsn's bill'' at the Cosmos Theater
yesterday before audiences which were
among the largest and most enthusiastic
OF the season, despite the unreasonable
weather. The event was the first of its
kind in Washington. although the expert
ment has been notably successful in other
cities. In all numbers the feminine not
only predominates, but entirely monopo-
izes attention.
Amelia Summerville, who is one of the
best-known acquisitions of vaudeville
from the realm of comic opera, is seen
in a delightful melange OF song and wit
these elements blending in an intimate
seen In vaudeville. Her work as the
head line attraction is fully I'D to all
expectations. Miss Summerville's vocal
ism is as clear and precise as her fun is
abundant, and her act at the cozy Avenue
playhouse has scored the biggest kind Of
hit. Priscilla" is second on the bill
and scores In her work as the beautiful
singing model" which shows her at her
best. Those comedy girls" Burton and
Primrose were seen In a clever little blend
Of nonsense which was Infectious.
Gay and catchy melody was dispensed
by Anita, the dainty, chic. and radiant
violnist and pianist. The La Nette sis
ters. notable among aerial gymnasts, ap-
pear in thrilling act. which is equal TO
any achievements of the masculine in
the same line Of work. The pink pajama
girls" the three Perry sisters, are seen
in some excellent variety novelties. all
of them pleasing and effective. Pathe's
weekly review completes the bill.

Polite vaudeville.

Fortune only comes 10 everybody
through work and honesty. That is the
keynote of the up-to-date morality

Washington premier at Chase's yester-
day, and was accorded the approval of
the most fckle theater-goers-the vaude-
vile lovers In Everybody" like its
predecessor. ''Everywife." which scored a
distinct hit here last year. there are
many impressive situations. relieved now
and then by laughabIe lines which form
unique plot-and the moral OF II all.
The title role Is in the capable hands
Of Harry B. s. Stafford, whose change

debut In Washington yesterday when
Laura Guerite and George F. Moore put
IL across amid laughter and applause
from all corners Of the playhouse They
present a musical offering, Rhyme and
Reason" under the management of
Jesse L. Lasky. Miss Guerite is a pretty
comedienne with a pleasing personality.
excellent voice, a command Of the terp-
sichorean art. and an array of dazzling
Paris creations that combine TO make
her a charming entertainer.
''On a Side Street" a sketch OF New
fork's little incidents, Is here again this
season, but II has lost none OF its power
TO win sincere applause. Homer Miles is
cast in the principal part, that OF an
apartment house janitor, whose jovial
disposition during dramatic situations
makes the little love story OF a Lynch
burg lad and lass in old New York a
touching sketch of genuine human inter-
est Helan Ray. as the girl: Frederick
Calvin, as her affianced, and Ted F. Grif-
fin, as the plain clothes man, are well
cast.
The Nettie Carroll Trio IN slack-wire
feats are clever: the Dexos troupe in a
variety of balancing turns got the ap-
plause; the Carbrey brothers, buck and
wing dancers, open the bill. and Marie

amusement departments of the Arcade,
Fourteenth street and Park road, was

AT THE BELAsco.
.The Bohemian Giri.r

The energetic press agent who herald
ed the coming Of the Aborn Opera COM
pany's presentation OF The Bohemian
Girl as "stupendous and spectacular
production"-those ali-embracing and In
consequence much used adJectives-didn't
so as far wide OF the mark as some Of
his brothers IN the same cause. While
the production at the Belesco last night
would hardly warrant the use Of the ad-
jective ''stupendous," there was no ques-
tion in the minds OF the audience as TO
its being spectacular"
As a matter Of fact. II would seem that
the Messrs. Aborn-and IL may or may
not be bit OF managerial acumen on
their part-have rather slighted expense
In the matter Of securing unusual good
voices TO interpret the wonderful melo-
dies of this ever delightful opera. and
put quite bit Of their money in building
up the aforementioned ''spectacular" side
Of the production. Certain It Is that the
performance OF the really remarkable
troupe of acrobats billed as Hasan's
Arabs and appearing as an interpolated
number in the fair scene in the second
act called forth more applause than did
the rendition of many OF the numbers Of
the score.
However, the appeal Of The Bohemian
and those in the audience who In years
gone by have probably heard the opera
many times, enjoyed the three great
numbers with which it's name is linked as
much as ever. And for the younger gen.
Grafton, 'T Dreamt / Dwelt in Marble
Halls" THE Heart Bowed Down" and
Then You'll Remember Me-" were q
welcome and delightful change from the
ragtime jingies so prevalent in the mu-
sical productions OF this day and genera
tion.
Vera Aliens Airline leaves little to be
desired. She has an exceptionally sweet,
though not particularly strong. soprano,
and her rendition of II Dreamt Dwelt In
Marble Halls was excellent. Harold
Blake, who is well known here through
his connection with the Aborn summer
companies about three seasons ago. Is
the Thaddeus. Mr.. Blake was appar-
emily somewhat handicapped by a cold.
but scored in Then You'll Remember
Me-" Herbert Waterous Is the Count
Arnheim. and was compelled to respond
to several encores IN THE Heart Bowned
Down" Jane Herbert made a statuesque
Queen of the Gypsies, and Joseph Florian
was the Devilshoof. Maurice Levigne
did not seem at home as Florestein.
In addition to the acrobRts mentioned
above. the Messrs. Aborn have added
other features to their Bohemian
Girl" There Is a thrilling dash by
soldiers on horseback up the side OF
what appears TO be a perfectly good
mountain at the back of the stage In
the first act, and in the second act in
the fair scene, they have even gone so
far in their quest for local color" as
TO procure a monkey who nonchalantly
twists himself around an unoffending
pole and furnishes amusement for those
on the stage, as we'll as the occupants
of the chairs In front.
