to the fielding.

As in hitting, the National has the
shade, but ii is - small as to be neg
ligible. The record Includes 29,1l2
put-outs, 1881 assists and 1928 er-

American League shows 2S793 put

4 casual consideration Of the fig
ures would favor the American
League, in spite of the margin on the
side Of the Nationals. An assist com
monty is fraught with more exertion
and liability TO error than a put
out: and the American League has
more assists on fewer put-outs, with
fewer errors all around.

AYETY.
"vanity Fair"

Entirely different from any OF the
buriesque shows that have visited Wash.
ington this season, Vanity Fair" with
Billie Ritchie as the headliner, opened
Its weeks engagement at the Gayety
yesterday The show serves to break
the monotony Of bills at the popular
Ninth street playhouse 50 far this year
All semblance Of the cut and dried bur-
lesque performances have been elininat-
ed in the new Vanity Fair" and II Is by
far the most refined attraction seen in
this city this year.
Billie Ritchie, a comedian of the
cyclonic order. never permits his audience
to wear a straight face. The entire per-
formance is a riot OF fun, and music
from beginning TO end. Ritchie Is ably
supported by the diminutive Rich Nc
AIlister, Frank Base, George Gould, and
William Gross.
Ruby Lusby furnished most Of the
music Of the feminine portion of the cast.
Anna Clark, as an artists model, proved
a good understudy for Venus de Milo.
Lena La Couvier and Winifred Francis
performed their parts In a manner that
met with the approval of the audience
A good vaudeville bill is presented
during the second act in scene en-
titled "a Night in an English Music
Hall" All OF the principals and chorus
which is elaborately costumed and un-
usually attractive have opportunities to
appear to best advantage.

.eThe shepherd King"

"The Shepherd King is a grand spec
tacle and a good play. Thanks to Rich
ard Buhler, as David, and Theodore Rob-
errs, as Saul, and a handsome scenic and
sartorial production, this Biblical drama
is the event of the season at the popular
Avenue playhouse.
The play calls for the full strength o.
the Poll COMPANY. and a large number
Of additional players, all OF whom
worked hard. and they achieved a very
cfeditable average.
Miss Jewel played the Princess Michal
with her usual rhetorical charm. Mr..
Buhier and Mr.. Roberts strengthened
their fine impressions OF last week. Mr..
Buhler makes good appearance, has
fine resonant voice, and his acting mani
tests great deal OF nervous force.
Miss Bondhili was charming. Dudley
Hawley is excellent as the noble Jona-
than. Miss Kent is a regal Princess
Merab. Miss Tracy and Mr.. Corbett do
fine bit Of acting. A word is due Mr..
Curtis for his successful EFFORTS in stag
ing this play. which is a most ambitious
undertaking for a stock company. Every
thing moved with precision and proper
effect

COSMOS.

The press agent who had not the cour.
age to pin his faith to the advance notices
concerning Dolly and Mack at the Cos
mos Theater this week might have
changed his opinion could he have wit
messed the ovation received by this pair
at the performances yesterday. Miss
Dolly, violiniste. is one of the brightest
charms of the program at the Cosmos.
Her companion plays the banjo and harp
guitar. The Doria Grand Opera Trio is
another high-cIass musical aggregation.
They sang in ensemble, 20, Sole Mo,
Non E Yer" and the prison scene from
Faust. while the prima donna sang as a
solo, I'm the Garden of My Heart" The
Four Masons, substituted for the Kuma
Japs, created a riot of laughter. Joe
Herbert has a cycling act in which ne
performs many difficult and amusing
feats with the bicycle Mae Francis sings
a galaxy of pleasing songs. and Boyd
and Hi have number of new selec-
tions. The bill is an excellent vaudeville
entertainment, supplemented with the
Pathe motion pictures of current i'm

vaudeville here. Mr.. Churchill has won
fame for his portrayal of Richelieu, and
his work in presenting scenes, supposed

Richelieu and julius Caesar was excel
lent Mr.. Churchill is ably supported.
Florenz Tempest, late of Tempest and
Sunshine, upheld her reputation as a
clever masculine impersonatress. She
has several good songs, and dances
well. William H. Murphy, Blanche
Nicholas and company, presented a bur-
lesque of stageland which left the audi
ence laughing heartily.
A really good dog act is presented by
Al Rayno, who has a troupe of naturally
clever bulls. George w. Barry and
Maude Wolford, in songs Of their, own
composition, made a hit. Jack Gardner,
of Chocolate Soldier fame, presented
a clever dancing and singing number,
and retained his old-time popularity. The
Parshleys, English novelty artists in the
musical branch, opened the bill. James

NEW NATIONAL.
"1he Sunshine GIRL"

"The Sunshine Girl" sparkled agair
at the New National Theater last night
and was as gladly Nelcomed as when she
first visited Washington last season. Ths
many tuneful airs OF the Rubens-
Raleigh Wimpers musical play caught
the fancy of the audience as they did last
year, and the equally numerous and at
tractive dances charmed the eye A
company OF headliners for the lesdine
parts, splendid chorus, the female con-
tingent comely and shapely, and the men
also vocaIly well endowed; an excellent
orchestra, ably conducted; elaborate
Scenery and magnificent gowns, with
obligato delicate lingerie liberally dis
piayed-what more could any one desire
Certainly the audience was more than
satisfied. for every song, every chorus,
every dance was applauded to the echo,
and had to be encored, frequently two
"Tte Sunshine Girls and Julia Sander
son, of course, are synonymous terms.
The dainty little prima donna was as
sweet OF voice and as nimble of foot
as when she first sang and twinkled
herself into the favor OF the Wash
ington public. Tiny Touch" and
Honeymoon Lane" are among the
most effective Of the airs that fall to
Dora's share, and the tango danced by
her and Alan Nude (Vernon -Blundell)
is a most seductive terpsichorean ex-
hibition. Flossie Hope, as Marie, and
Basil S. Foster, as Lord Bicester, are
able competitors in the dancing fea-
lures. Miss Hopes number, "A Bit OF
Silk" scoring a decided success. No
less appealing was Yra Jeane as Lady
RosabelIe Merrydew, who made quite
a hit with the song. Here's to Love"
Joseph Cawthorn was the funmaker
par excellence. Joe" as he is called
by his admirers, fairly bubbled over with
all sorts of comicalities and witticIsms.
none of which failed to move the audi
ence to shouts of laughter, and his song,
You Can't Play Every Instrument in
the Band" was the comedy event of the
evening. Nor was his performance on
the concertina anything short of artis-
tic. Florence Morrison as Mrs. Blacker,
and William Sellery as Steve Daily, add
ed a considerable share to the sum of
merriment, and QuSenie Vassar's take
of of a militant suffragette was a most
amusing variation. All the minor parts
wtre capably presented.

DR.. Watson-not Sherlock Holmes

ACADEMY.
"Mutt and JeR in Panama. :.


Little JEFF at the Academy last night
kept the packed house shouting every
moment he was on the stage, and as
for Mutt, he was every inch as ridicu-
lous as Bud Fisher, the cartoonist, made
him.
A more exact pattern for the figure Of
JEFF than Jerry Sullivan could not be
found in lifetime's search, and to find
so capable and comical an actor in the
same mite seems an extraordinary piece
of good fortune. Earl Redding looks
Mutt to the dot, and plays the part with
skill and Judgment.
AS a musical show the performance
was well up to the mark. both principals
and chorus rendering the catchy num-
bers with excellent effect Honors for
singing go to Miss May Bouton in Pearls
Of Panama" and a moonshine song.
The Iudicrous adventures of the famous
pair and the musical delights are inter-
woven with plot of stolen papers and
foreign spies, which the company would
do well to render as buriesque, instead
of attempting an effect OF sober melo-
drama.
The scenery and costumes are elabo-
rate, and the picture Of the Gatun lock,
with battleship about to drop through,
was received with applause.

"hat threatened 10 De fatal accident
to Miss Leah Baird. leading woman of
the Imp Company, occurred recently dur
ing the taking OF one Of the last scenes
in a big three-reeler. As II was, Miss
Baird lost about half her hair and was
severely blistered about the face before
the flames were smothered.
The story, which they were producing,
is laid in little Italy, and concerns a wild
young italian girl. who induces her lover
TO steal the jewels from the sacred
Madonna. The accident occurred when
Miss Baird, as the girl, prayed before
the Madonna, fearing for her life. Her
hair. hanging down her back, brushed
against one OF the lighted candles adorn-
ing the foot OF the statue. There was a
cry of warning from fellow member
OF the company as the flames licked up
the loose strands. a scream from Miss
Baird and several hands snatched at her
TO prevent disaster. It was a painful
and fearful experience for the young
woman, but she managed TO finish the
picture with the aid of a, wig. The pic
ture has wonderfully intense dramatic
situations with cuiminative action. In
many Of the scenes over 500 people have
been used.
In order to secure the proper types Mr..
Brenon, producer Of the picture, sent his
assistant down into the slums of New
York for his extras. When these showed
up at the studio. the director was almost
hoored. There was a sad mixture of
Italians, Poles, Germans, and French. Mr..
Brenon, who speaks French fiuently, had
no trouble In taking care OF the latter,
but he was forced to obtain two interpre-
ters to attend to the Italians and Poles

perience wholly, these aspiring actors

COLUMBIA.
1.-The Old Homestead"

The enthusiastic greeting given THE
Old Homestead" at the Columbia
Theater last night left no doubt of the
pleasure felt at the return Of an old
friend. Unique among plays, It is vel
Endorsement, since it represents the good
taste of a public that made and main
tains its success.
There is a refreshing homeliness about
this play. One meets. simple folk with
plain, unvarnished speech; the scenes are
such as. are seen every day in the New
Hampshire hills; no daring sex problems
vex the mind; there isn't even a william.
The only lesson it pretends to teach is
that which good old Joshua Whitcomb
