COSMOS.

The Little Lambs" tabloid musical
comedy in two scenes. at the Cosmos
this week, is replete with music
as catchy as anything OF the
kind offered in vaudeville this
season. Six pretty and capable
girls, who are really girls, lend charm
TO the play, and two laughable coined
ians supply the merriment. The little
musical offering won hearty applause
from capacity audiences both last night
and yesterday afternoon
Loro and Payne have unique aero
batic sketch which features difficult
feats by the white-faced member of the
team and lauehable and not overdone
comedy by the black-face member. Du-
rand and Russell, in the gems of many
grand operas, sing well. especially th-
woman, who has a good voice and
knows how to use 1t. Johnnie O'Brien
sings new and laughable song parodies
and tells funny stories, and the Du-
ouesne Comedy Four make an import
ant feature with novel harmonic mel
odies. The motion pictures are enter
tanning and the Pathe Weekly Review,
as usual, is interesting.

The last week of the exhibition Of the
Scott Antarctic pictures at the Belasco

and tragic story of Captain Scott Is
supplemented by the value of the pic
lures as an asset to natural history. for
the scenes of animal life in the regions
Of the frozen south have never been
witnessed before. except by explorers
themselves or in the Biographies.
Although the pictures are self ex-
planatory. q lecture given by Mr.. Con-

played by Carrie Thatcher, and the
young hero of the play, into all corts
of trouble The little farce is full OF
comic types, including maid, Nora,
played by Dorothy Bernard, In ner
usually snsppy and enjoyable fashion.
Miss Jessie Giendinning was sweet ahd
charming in the part of Mrs Bonner
and wore some beautiful gowns George
Rarbier, as DR.. Rumsey. the osteopathic
physician, handled his role with tact
and cleverness. Everett Butterheld was
cast in the difficult role of Richard
