COSMOS THEATER.

Harry Tate's farce comedy, Motor
ing" the laughing hit OF the royal COM
mand performance at the Palace The
ater. London, last July. repeated its sue
cess at the Cosmos Theater yesterday
afternoon and evening before capacity
audiences at four performances. 1t is
the tale of an automobile that wont 60,
and in the telling all the ridiculous in
cidents possible in connection with the
supposed breakdown crowd one another
in quick succession. keeping the people
in a constant gale of laughter. After
countless suggestions and all sorts of
foolish advice, the cause of the stoppage
IS discovered by the ubiquitous small
boy. who has been regarded as an on
looking pest and repeatedly driven away.
The little sketch is perhaps one OF the
most amusing offerings on the vaude-
Vile stage, and this is its first appear

to be enlarged with another act from
New York. 1t includes new and lively
songs, with comical patter, by Fred
Primrose; an eccentric offering of song
and dances by Laurence and Roberts;
some splendidly played banjo selections
by D'Alma and Mae, and little sketch,
"A Tale of Texas" which has both its
pathos and It's comedy. An interesting

nary interest by very clever acting at
Theater While probably some OF the
scenes enacted are a bit overdrawn, a
great deal Of credit must be given Mr..
Mayne for his different characterizations
of the witnesses apd defendant without
any noticeable delay in his changes. The
act received a great deal of applause.
Smythe and Hartman. a clever duo.
certainly deserve second mention. as
they impressed those in front with their
spontaneous humor and bright songs.
The Four Musical Hodges had an up
tO-date act and they gave a number Of
encores before they were allowed to de-
part. Lovers Of hunting cannot but ap-
preciate the posing of Loretta and Bud
in different hunting scenes. Loretta
made a pretty picture with this we'll
trained specimen of a pointer. The Fly
ing Darts thrilled the audience with a
number OF horizontal bar gymnastics,
along with a lot of slap-stick comedy
which was out of the ordinary. in that
it was combined with a number of skill
full feats. Kenny. Nobody. and Platt
formed a duo of dusky-hued singing
comedians who talked a great deal about
the missing part of the act-Nobody-
and nobody seemed interested until they
sang. Their songs helped to cover up
a few draggy moments. Mcintyre and
Groves. with a lot of nonsense. kept
everybody amused during the time they
were on and retired only after num-

pictures forcefulIy the grim results of
marriages for money, where the lives OF
not only the contracting parties but Of
others are ruined.
| Years before the opening Of the play
there is a marriage. without love, be-
tween the daughter of a wealthy AmerI-
can miner and a dissolute English lord
Lord and Lady Everlowshave three sons.
Alfred, the heir to the title and estate
is the prototype of his father. spending
his time drinking and gambling The
second son, Eitel. is visited in even more
hideouS form with the sins of his father
Deformed and bordering on insanity, he
resorts to morphine But the youngest
son. Arthur, Is unlike the rest of his
race. Clear and wholesome OF body, he
possesses unaccountable brilliancy of in
tellect. manly qualities and strong So
cialistic tendencies.
Mrs. Quackenbush and Vivian Ford the
wife and niece of an American million
aire, come as guests to the Everlow
house. The youth and innocence Of Wv
ian make a strong appeal to Lady Ever
low and she determines to save her from
q fate similar to her own, which is in
evitable. il the plans of her aunt. an
intriguing social climber, are carried out.
Lady Everlow makes a strong fight
to preserve the happiness of Vivian and
is finally forced to reveal the startling
facts in regard to her sons before the
young girl renounces the wealth of her
aunt and the title OF the oldest son in
order to marry the youngest whom she
loves.
The elimination of the interest is TO-
cused in an exciting scene in which the
identity OF the youngest son, Alfred. Is
disclosed. Here is the opportunity for
emotion. and Miss Hamilton seizes it and
holds the interest of the audience with
a real grip.
John Nicholson, in the leading role of
Lord Everlow. has a very trying part
and fills it with surprising ability. His
Characterization of the dissipated Eng
lish lord is very satisfying and through
out extremely humorous. The ridiculous
Mrs. Quackenbush of Milly Stevens is
excellent, producing much laughter when

UP to the standard, as was the rest of
the cast.

THE GAYETY.
"The Queen of Bohemia"

Mollie Williams. in her own company
Is the attraction at the Gayety this week
with what is probably the best show OF
the season. Miss Williams is the star
of the performance, and has able assist
ance from the best balanced corps OF
principals that has showed in the popular
Ninth Street house this season.
The show is constructed along the lines
of musical comedy. and is an instantane-
GUS hit from the rise of the curtain.
Miss Williams injects into her work a
personality seldom seen in burlesque, and
her work is clean-cut and decidedly re-
freshing. She scored a big hit in her
rendition OF "Parisienne." She is a star
of the first water in her present line, and
one likely to be heard from in the big
shows later on.
George F. Hayes as 81 Pintertown,
the town constable, has a brand of com
edy seldom seen IN burlesque, and the
scene between Mr.. Hayes and Miss Will
Jams is one Of the funniest things seen
on any stage. E. A. Turner as "A. G..
Blur is particularly good and possesses
a fine singing voice. Harry Sheppel Is a
German comedian far above the average
and is responsible for many hearty
laughs. Among the other members Of
the company are Cliff Worman. Mabel
Irwin, Madgs Darrell. and Mae Meek.

ter bill this week. That he is an enter

the fact that he comes with a New
York Hammerstein reputation. His bout
With volunteers from the audience is one
Of the laughable features of his enter
tainment.
The remainder of the bill is above the
average in merit, and some of the acts
unusually good. Raeder and Lester have
a novel act upon the flying rings and
trapeze. Selma Corbett, in blackface
sings songs and tells very funny stories
Coleman and Alexander, with a randi
fire number OF songs, jokes, and witty
repartee, are good; Bob Warren, with a
monologue brimfull OF new Jokes and
stories and with an original way of pre-
senting them, is funny, and Taneau and
Claxton are not only enjoyable with
their cornet selections, but laughable
with their comedy. Fine film features
supplement the bill.

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Theatrical entertainment after all, de.
pends upon ones point OF view, and is
interesting in proportion to what humor
interest or sympathy the performance
mirrors back to the audience. At Chase s
this week the entertainment will please
many and will probably amuse as many
more.
Following the high standard Of amuse-
ment set last week, the bill this week
may seem not quite so good because of
the standard of comparison. Following
sweet things one expects just as sweet
or sweeter.
The bill this week leaves the impress
sion that 1t is without a feature which
looms above the other. Every act on
the bill has a distinction. but none stand
out above the other. 1t seems the Gus
tom at Chase's to sandwich the feature
Of the performance in the part following
the intermission. II such is the case, it
seems probable that a sketch. who Is
Brown" is the headliner. The piece is
a farce which has possibilities. There
have been better farces seen and worse.
1t causes many laughs, and, therefore,
fulfills its mission.
One OF the real interesting parts Of the
performance is the illusion handed out
over the footlights by Henry Give, who
has a spirit painting act. Projected
on canvasses are works OF art, done
without the hand of artist. 1t is simply
an illusion, cleverly put on. The act is
enhanced by a line of talk from Mr.
Give, whose sarcasm and wit make the
chatter worth while.
The bill opens with Cunningham and
Marion, who have an "acrobatic talk
fest as they call it. 1t is a good cur
tain-raiser.
Fred Watson and Rena Santos have
dancing and singing act which pleases
most of the audience.
To those who like sidewalk conversa-
ton, Raymond and Caverly have one of
the best acts seen these days in vaude-
Vile They mix the English with the
German language in a way that Is de-
lightfIly refreshing.
Karl Emmy has about a dozen dogs
which perform in an intelligent manner
and which act seems to be built espe-
cially for children, although persons Of a
larger growth will enjoy it.
