CASINO.

The Casino Theater this week is fea-
turing Dorothy De ScheIle and her COM
pany in their noted little comedy of
laughter and pathos. The Get Away,
which tells of the trials that beset a
stranded vaudeville couple, who are
lodging a heartless landlady until they
receive news of a big-tIme engagement
that will enable them TO pay their board
and escape her clutches.
Its scene is laid in a typical theatrical
clearinghouse in New York, and its
situations make a delightful entertain
ment. Mile. JEWELS great French fan
toches. or marionettes, are being ex-
hibited in an elaborate production that
features a tragedy in the depths of the
sea, in which diver in search of treas
ure, A mermaid. and a man-eating shark
are actors: a Spanish dancer, and Cleo
patra's death, among other things. Both
offerings are from the high-price vaude-
vile circuit.
The Greek Stirk does some marvellous
things on the slack wire that seem to
justify his claim OF being the king OF
the bounding wire" The Macaslin Sis
tiers, two dainty little misses, just in
their teens, have a charming Offering OF
songs and graceful dances, and Ryan
and Mason a laughable tumble of black
face songs, jokes, and banter OF the
minstrel type. An elaborate photodrama,
The Elopement," also is shown this
week at every performance.

Northwest, a part of the old Willard es-
tate. were reviewed yesterday by the
Supreme Court in handing down a deci-
sion in the case of Joseph Parker Camp
against Kate Willard Boyd. The trouble
began with a mortgage. dated 1876. A
few years later the land, now worth a
small fortune. was leased for ninety-nine
years, with privilege of renewal for rent
of a few dollars per year.
Camp purchased the claim of the heirs
Of one Blodgett, who made the lease. and
of Kate Willard Boyd and others. who
had claims as heirs of the lease-hold-
ers. A lottery, in which a hotel was
one of the prizes. played a part in the
entangled legal history of the property.
The Supreme Court. in rendering its
decision, decided in favor of Mrs. Boyd
sustaining the action of the lower court
The case went to the high tribunal
from the District Supreme Court and the
Court of Appeals. Camp is enjoined by
the courts decision from ejecting the
three devisees in trust under the will
of Caleb c. Willard from the F Street
premises. Mrs. Boyd is one of the
devisees, the other being H. K. Willard
and Geore Howe.

WOMAN TELLS STORY
OF BEING ROBBED
Mrs. George A. Halsey Describes How
Men Bound and Gagged Her
and Stole Ring.

Although a search is being conducted
for a white man and a negro who are
supposed TO have robbed the grocery
store Of George NJ. HaIsey. at Eighth
and G Streets Northwest, yesterday
morning after attacking Halsey's wife
the police have not verified the story
told by the couple. A diamond ring and
ST.. - was stolen, according to Mrs. Hal
sey.
Halsey, who purchased the business
several months ago from Samuel p
Pierson, who occupies apartments on the
second floor opened the store about {
o'clock. and left an hour later for mar
ket leaving his wife in charge.
A minute after he had gone Mrs.
Halsey said i white man, accompanied
by a dark negro, entered the store. As
she walked around to the side of the
counter both men grabbed her, she
said.
They dragged her to the basement,
according to her story, stopping to
pick up a piece of clothesline from a
shelf, with which they tied her hands
and feet and bound her to a post. The
men wrenched the ring from her finger,
she said, rushed up TO the store. robbed
the cash register, and made their get
away.
Lucy Sales, colored girl, was at-
tracted by a noise. Upon making her
way below she was told by Mrs. Hal
sey to tell Pierson to come and re-
lease her.
When the police arrived it was con-
sidered advisable to summon a physi-
clan to attend Mrs. Halsey. The doc
tor declared that the woman would be
in no condition to be interviewed for
at least an hour. The police say that
Immediately after the doctor left Mrs.
Halsey appeared perfectly normal.

capt. Scott and Animal Life in the
Antarctic"

On account of the wonderful success
at the previous engagement of the mo-
ton pictures and views taken on the
tragic dash for the South Pole by Capt.
Scott, a return engagement Of week.
beginning with last evening. has been
instituted at the Belasco. As there were
some who missed viewing these wonder
full scenes, a great many took advantage
Of this second opportunity, and a ca
pacity house attended.
Along with the views shown during
the last engagement were a num-
Der of new ones, including an exciting
game of football on the ice. Probably
the most interesting of the pictures
are those which showed Capt. Scott in
his daily tasks in preparing for the final
dash for the pole Everything, done in
the course of a days work from sunrise
TO sunset and the manner in which they
prepared their meals and sleeping quar-
tiers, are shown in motion pictures.
Many of the views are of animal life.
The pictures show the party leaving the
motion picture men to fade away into
the distance amid the whirling snow.
Then there were shown the most re-
markable pictures ever taken, those of
Capt. Scott and his party at the pole
on the site of the tent OF Amundsen,
who was there a short time before
Scott's arrival; and a view taken at the
pole established by Capt. Scott. Both
of these photographs were found and
developed after the bodies were discov-
cred.

coaster and then in turn took in every
attraction on the grounds.
Early in the evening they began to ar
rive, and until near the closing hour
there was never a let-up for the ticket
sellers, and most of the time there was
long line waiting in front of the diff
ferent amusements. In the dancing
pavilion the floor was filed for each num-
Der, and the dancers asked and got an
encore for each waltz and two-step.
Sunday nights concerts drew one of
the largest crowds of the season. Yes

COSMOS.

The big audiences that filled the
Cosmos Theater yesterday afternoon
and last evening had forty minutes of
laughter such as they probably had
never enjoyed before in such quick
succession and for such a length of time
in "A Night in an English Music Hail.
which is being presented by the Karno
English Comedy Company Of fourteen
splendid farceurs.
The scene represents an English mu-
sic hall. with boxes lined along the
sides of the stage. AS the various per-
formers character comedian, a ma
gician, a singer, a ballet dancer. and
the terrible Turk"-appear, first a pre-
cocious boy and his old uncle on one
side and an intoxicated English John
ME on the other bring about a sue
cession of ludicrous situations that
fairly make the audience roar with
laughter. 1t is a novel act from the
big vaudeville circuit, and one of the
best ever presented at the Cosmos
Theater. There is also a very en-
joyable and amusing little playlet, act
ed by Jane Rose and company so we'll
and so entertainingly that the players
had to acknowledge several curtain
calls.
Malcolm, a character comedian, whose
methods are very comical, presents a
number of new and difficult feats
of juggling and magic. Jack Atkins
gets very intimate with his audiences
and soon has them laughing and ap-
plauding his new and fetching songs.
and Claire and Jimmie, with one of the
best pianologues of the season, feature
some fine dancing, a thrilling dramatic
recitation. and some enjoyable music,
vocal and instrumental. The Pathe
Weekly is especially interesting this
week. and the comedy motion pictures
are both laughable and enjoyable.

A Remedy That Has Shown
a Most Remarkable
Purifying Effect.

The word medicine is one Of the most
abused in our language There are GER
tain medicinal properties Just as neces-
ssry to health as the food we eat. Take,
for example, the well-known tonic medi-
cine S. S. S. This famous blood purifier
contains medicinal components Just as
vital and essential to healthy blood as
the elements Of wheat, roast beef, the
fats and the sugars that make up our
daily ration.
AS a matter Of fact, there Is one in
gredient in S. S. S. which serves the
active purpose of stimulating each cell
lular part Of the body to the healthy
and judicious selection Of its own essen
fial nutriment. That is why II reeener-
ates the blood supply; why it has such a
tremendous influence in overcoming &C.

NEW NATIONAL.
Donixetti's Lucia df Lammermoor
Presented by Aborn Artists.

The presentation by the Aborn forces
of Donizettfs master work, Lucia di
Lammermoor," at the New National
Theater last night was a success for all
participants. The large audience fairly
revelled in the familiar melodies and
showered applause on principals, chorus.
and orchestra. From the critical as well
as from the popular point of view 1t was
a brilliant performance. While all de-
served credit, there were three who stood
out in bold relief-Edith Helena, Dome
nico Russo, and Louis d'Angelo. Their
individual, as well as concerted. work
was splendid. 1t goes without saying, OF
course, that the great sextet was the
feature which evoked the most pro-
nounced enthusiasm. Salvos of applause
resounded at its close and did not cease
until Conductor Ralph Lyford lifted his
baton for an encore, when 1t broke out
anew.
Edith Helena Is no stranger to WASH
ington. Her fine soprano has been heard
here in former years, and always with
intense enjoyment But ii may well be
doubted IL ever before she sang before
a more delighted audience than that OF
last night, or If ever she sang better.
In the great aria of the mad scene. in
the third act. which has always been
considered the tombstone of a prima
donna's vocal gifts and dramatic talent.
she eXcelled all her former efforts. The
coloratura passages were given with
singular limpidity, especially those with
flute obligato. 1t was a brilliant piece de
resistance, and when the last note had
been sung a storm Of applause broke
forth, and the fair singer was showered
with magnificent bouquets and was
called before the curtain again and
again.
Domencio Russo, also-a Washington ia
vorite, sang and acted the part of Edgar
of Ravenswood superbly. The resonant
quality of his voice asserted itself with
splendid effect. and the great aria
''Tombs of My Fathers" has rarely been
rendered more impressively
Louis D'Angelo grows upon his hearers
with every performance. His barytone
has a most pleasing quality. Last night
he appeared to even greater advantage
than in any of the parts he has sung dur
ing the present engagement. His Henry
Ashton was in all particulars a notable
creation. William Hswksley was heard
as Sir Arthur Bucklaw; Francis J. Tyler
as Bide-the Bent, and Miriam Norris as
Alice.
Tonight Giuseppe Agostini will be cast
as Edgar, and again tomorrow night.
while Mr.. Russo will sing at tomorrow's
matinee. Otherwise. the cast will be the
same.
