ACADEMY

''The Goose Girl" this weeks offer
ing at the Academy, revives memories
of "Graustark" and plays along that
line. The play is based on Harold Mac
Grath's novel.
The story concerns the love of a
princess in a mythical kingdom for the
handsome young American consul and
that of the Goose Girl for a dashing
prince, when both couples realize that
u royal ban stands between them and
marriage.
The Goose Girl, who. 1t may be ex-
planned, is girl who herds a flock
OF geese, just as shepherd would care
for sheep, has a reputation for beauty.
Furthermore. she is madly In love with
the prince Of the kingdom.
AS 1t turns out in the end, the Goose
Girl is really the princess. having been
stolen by gypsies when very young.
This. of course, paved the way Tor nT,
ing ii so the supposed princess could
marry her American suitor and the
Goose Girl her prince.
AdelIne OConnor, as the Goose GIRL
won well merlted approval from the
audience at the opening performance.
The play Is well mounted.

a hit II was decided to bring them
back. Their act Is greatly changed.
They were given four curtain calls last
night, which shows how well they were
received. Their singing was splendid.
Noodles" Pagan needs no introduction
to Washington. He kept the audiences
in laughter. At both performances there
was a large representation Of news
boys to see him.
There are four other coed pieces Of
vaudeville on the program. The Ballo
Brothers, Mexican serenaders," enter
tanned the crowd with mandolin, banjo
and guitar playing. Anita, Hulius, and
Paul Robin comprise a trio OF musical
performers that give pleasing per-
formance. The playing Of Paul Robin
on the piano is about as good as has
been seen I'm Washington. The singing
of Anita Robin was well received. The
Miles brothers entertained the audiences
with acrobatic stunts that have seldom
been seen here. Sylvester, the comedy
magician performed some mysterious
tricks that amused the crowds.

songs, while Eleanor Cochran and Alice
