One of the largest audiences of the
season assembled in the roller skating
rink last night, for. in addition to the
usual roller skating. two other strong
drawing cards had been announced. The
first was Alice Teddy, the great bear that
skates on roller skates, commencing her
second weeks engagement. Her re-
markable exhibition, at 3 o'clock. was
interesting, as she has added
several new numbers to her repertoire.
Closely following came a wrestling bout,
between Joe Turner. the wrestling cham
pion. and Oscar Samson, light heavy
weight champion Of Massachusetts,.
The bout was closely contested, and a
splendid exhibition given OF the art, but
Turner failed to best his man within the
specified time OF fifteen minutes, there
fore forfeiting $25.

"over Night"

f'oNcr NtEnt.
Another week of hilarity began at
the Belasco Theater last night when
"over Night" made its bow to WASH
Hngton.
The advance man." who came here
last week for the sole and simple pur-
pose of making folks believe in the
worth of this sparkling comedy, de-
.lared it was funnier by far than Baby
Nine" and that Marguerite Clark, who
charmed Washington three weeks ago
with her daintiness, prettiness, and
magnetism, simply wasn't in II with
Madge Kennedy" who. with Ernest
Truck. head the cast OF "Over
Night" Knowing the versatility of
press representatives in the use Of ad-
iectives and the matter OF enthusiasm,
the inclination is to accept their ac-
counts of the attractions they repre-
tent with a grain of salt.
This was a needless precaution in the
ease Of over Night" for it quite comes
up to the advance mans" promise.
Since Baby Mine" evoked a laugh
10 every second. IL would be foolish to
say that over Night" is any more alb
surd in its situations, or more clever in
its lines. Neither is it possible to find
q personality more chic and charming
alton of the role of the irrepressible
''fibber'' in Baby Mine so that II was
\ mistake to herald over Night" as
greater success" than Margaret Mayo's
comedy.
1t didn't seem to matter to the Be
iasco audience last night, however. Suf-
fcient unto the hour was the fun
thereof, and there is no mistaking the
fact that Philip H. Bartholomae. the
80 . 20, n r,1u ir,er Tba
Belasco Theater this week. knew the
sort of situations that would touch the
risibility of an audience.
Fun-invoking complications begin with
the rise Of the curtain, when four newly
married folks begin making a ''mess'' of
their honeymoon. Each couple plans a
trip up the Hudson on board the steamer
Hendrix Hudson. Just before the boat
leaves they blunder over the baggage, be-
come sadly mixed, with the result that
the wife in the one case and the hus-
band in the other are left behind on the
wharf, just as the boat pulls out. carry
Ing their respective mates along with 1t.
To avoid complications, the couple on
sbipboard pretend to be man and wife.
thus getting themselves into all sorts
Of uproariously funny situations, dis
Tessing enough to them, but full of
clirth for those who look on.
From the moment the deception begins
predicament followed predicament until
the audience in the Belasco Theater last
eight was limp with laughter by the
time hypnotist came along in the third
act and Strengthened out the absurd
tsngle.
There isn't a dull moment in over
Night" The lines are clean and clever:
the humor continuous, and of the sort
tnat makes one quite forget Dull Care
while they laugh, and laugh, and laugh
again.
Madge Kennedy, as the pretty and
dainty little bride of Percy Darling,
scored heavily, while the companion OF
her woes, Richard Kettle, the little
milk fed lisping bridegroom of a suf-
fragette bride, kept the audience in a
continuous roar of laughter and applause

AT THE GAYETY.
"The Midnight Maiden..-

Having resided in this town for some
time, Il is natural that "BIn' Clark
should come with a show that Is a sure
winner, The Midnight Maidens." at the
Gayety this week. II is one that is full
Of enjoyment from start to finish. and
contains two Of the best comedians so
far presented here this year: also num-
Der of scenes and pretty girls.
Danny simmons and Harry Ward are
bound TO make one laugh. and 1t has
been many a long day since such dancing
has been seen here. Both OF these gen.
tIemen can certainly dance; not the
slam-bang kind. but the light and airy.
Hattie Raymond is with the nimble feet,
and her dance with Ward is one of the
gems Of the show. Margie Hilton Is a
soubrette who wins from the start. Her
songs are all good. and she sings them
in a very clever way. Lillian Franklin
was also good. both in her songs and her
part. The Century Trio gave several
songs and received many encores-
Charles Reed and J. Jones round out
the cast, and Dick McAIlister, the dimin-
utive comedian. is responsible for a num-
Der of laughs.
The show is divided into a number OF
scenes, the most laughable being THE
Funny Village Fire Brigade and the
most novel the interior of a Pullman
train. All of the situations are funny,
the songs catchy. and the jokes side
splitting.

AT THE COSMOS.
Vaudeville.

One OF the big hits of the season at
the Cosmos was scored yesterday by the
remarkable exhibition of Oriental magic
in the line of acrobaties and tightrope
walking by the five Tokyo Japs. In sheer
sensationalism this act is easily the
vaudeville offering par excellence of the
year. One rope is swung clear over the
heads of the audience between stage and
gallery, and down II one of the members
OF the troupe glides and slides both for
ward and backward. the descent being
thrilling. This is followed by a wonderful
balancing feat, in which the tiniest OF
the Japs does flpfiops and other didoes
at the end of a twenty-hve-foot pole.
The entire performance is brilliant.
One OF the breeZiest combinations of
varsity comedians-the Criterion Comedy
Four-are seen in a hodgepodge of fun
and drollery. 1t Is one of the effective
comedy hits of the year. The Carmelo
operate trio scored with their passionate
singing of the seNtet from Lucia" and
the Torreador song from Carmen"
Many other arias were demanded of them
by eager audiences yesterday.
Church and Springer were seen in their
clever sketch. "A Surprise for Mother"
which is a scintillating trayesty on the
mother-in-law joke. and Quinn brothers
uncorked a lot of fun in their singing
and dancing speciality. Pathe's weekly
review of current events heads the list
OF film features.
