Gayety.

A burlesque show first class in every
respect is the entertainment presented
at the Gayety this week by the Merry
Go-Rounders Company. The brightest
light in the show, Of course, is George
p Murphy, who is on the stage large
part of the time and has ample oppor-
tunity to show his worth as a comedi-
an. Although his name Smacks of the
Emerald Isle Mr.. Murphy is one Of the
cleverest Dutch" comedians on the
burlesque stage, with a funny little
way of talking that keeps the house
in continuous laughter. Another bright
spot is Miss Beattie Evans, who has
a clear, sweet voice and is attractive
and graceful. She has most of the
feminine solo work, yet the audience
never seems to tire, but repeatedly
calls for encores.
Others who assist in making the
show a success are Carmen Levee,
Hdna Reming and Marie Ray. Leo
Hayes is particularly good as q comedy
detective, his eccentric dancing being
especially good. F.. Mathews, Charles
Lipson and +. Evans also have share
in the good work.
The first burletta presents a scene In
doctors Office in New York city and
another in ladies Jail" Both serve
as a background for pleasing electrical
and mechanical effects. A country
scene is shown in the closing burletta.
The chorus is we'll trained and con-
tains good singers, it's work in the
second half of the entertainment be-
ing unusually good.

Casino.

Three big acts appear on the Casino s
bill this week, all of them good enough to
be topliners. Wilson Franklyn and COM
pany in ''My Wife Won't Let Me" have
screamingly funny farce, introducing a
henpecked husband, a militant suffra-
gette, a 'reformer," a music hall artist
caught out in u costume the principal
part of which is a pair of blue silk
tights-and. careless taxi driver. Bel
trah and Beltrah in their novelty act.
'The Musical Dairy make music out of
rakes, shovels, milk cans, brooms and
even squeeze a duet out of a couple of
property cows. Carlos Guitrezz and COM
pany, the former billed as 1.-The Mexican
Hermann have an act of magic and
illusion pretentiously staged which af-
fords considerable amusement and no lit
tie mystifcation. Preston, the acrobatic
clown. with his multitudinous vests, opens
the show with some good tumbling and
laughable comedy acrobatic work. An
drews and Thompson, singing duo, have a
first-class musical turn, in which the
marvelously low contralto voice Of the
feminine half of the team is featured.
Bernard and Scarth in a sidewalk aot
spring a lot Of really new jokes, some
sure-enough funny dialogue and ''busi-
ness good enough for the high-priced
vaudeville houses. New picture plays OF
the Casinos usual high standard complete
an excellent bill.

novel burlesque entertainment. The first
part is called 1.-The Daffydils On Broad

Hoggenheimer, "confidential' valet to a
young spendthrift. He is supported by a
strong cast of principals. including Lew
Seeker, Harry LIE Van, Tom Beeson, jr.
Dave Conroy, George Johnson, Frank
Walsh, Madge Hughes and the Clark sis
ters Billie Hill has the most important
feminine role, and was a hit from her
first appearance on the stage. The Sec
ond burlesque, "Mazuma, Of the Land of
Gelt," is supposed to be an opium fiend's
dream. In this the scenery. the cos
tunes and lighting effects-in fact,
everything but the plot, are very elab-
crate. With few exceptions. the prin-
cipa.s appear as allegorical characters.
a novelty appears in the arrangement
of the performance. The olio introduced
in the middle of the second burlesque,
with minstrel first part" includes the
Clark sisters, Beeson and Hughes, Lew
Seeker, Lew Seeker and Sam Rice in
verse and patter,' in which they intro
duce the wonderful elephant, G. Q. P.,'
and concludes with novel act by the
dainty, dazzling queen of the air." who
does her part suspended by her teeth

Polls.

The Poll Players scored a success last
night in the presentation of George
Broadhurst's political play, 'The Man of
the Hour" and throughout the four acts
the audience attested its appreciation
by frequent and hearty applause.
The plotting financiers and the grating
politicians hoping to obtain their end
by the election Of young and energetic
man who would play into their hands,
and then finding out after the election
that the young man had strong convSc-
tions of his own and was doing every
thing in his power to thwart their crook
ed schemes, seemed to have sympathet-
ic appeal for the audience last night. The
work of every member of the cast was
very good.
Probably one of the best characterize
tions in which Mark Kent has yet been
seen here is that of Richard Horrisan,
the Iron BOSS" Thomas Williams, as
Alderman James Phelan, presented a type
OF political boss quite the opposite. His
Pheian was of the good-natured sort

poor with picnics. chowder parties and
Christmas dinners. His work was COR

Relasco.


"The Merry Countess" at the Belasco
Theater last night was a delightful
companion for big assemblage that
seemed delighted with the effervescent
merriment and vivacity Of the graceful
company of singers and dancers who
permitted no lags; with the richly
meiodic music of Johann Strauss score
and the selections from his other COM
positions, and with the sympathetic.
sweet voices of both principals and
chorus. Demands for encores were in
SlStent, but there was no yielding OF
the smooth running of the piece to in
terruptionS for encores until the third
act. Even with the dearth Of encores,
the audience was surprised at the
length of the entertainment as it noted
the time after the final curtain.
The Merry Countess almost is an
opera. 1t is a good comedy. with a
plot that holds the interest and hearty
laughs in many of the lines and much
of the stage business. Those who saw
that other version of die F'ledermans'
when FRITZ Scheff appeared in Wash
ington in Might Birds did not find the
plot novel. 1t was the lifting music,
with its rich melody. even though not
catchy, that most pleased. And there
was much praise for the Interpretation
of the score by both the big orchestra,
under the direction of Clarence Robert
son. and the singers
Washington had the opportunity last
night, too, to greet new light opera
star, Miss Jose Collins, who charmingiy
portrayed the title role, and whose ro-
bust. sweet voice enhanced the beauty OF
the music. Her singing of the much7
heralded "CZardas" caused the audience
to insist upon the breaking of the APP
parent rule against encores. Local the
atergoers also extended cordial greetings
to F'ritzie Won Busing and Forest Hun,
who were here in Aborn light opera COM
panies. Miss Won Busing has another
opportunity to charm with her vlvaclty
and sweet voice in the role OF llka, ana
Mr.. Huff also continues to win applause.
Unlike the little shops in the native
| land of this music, which put all thelr
| wares in the street show windows, the
novelties and surprises in The Merry
| Countess seem to be held back. 1t Is
not until the second act that the dancing
surprises are offered, not even a sugges-
ton of them being given in the opening
act. Yet the piece is rich In pleasing
dances in which Miss Lysa Graham ano
Martin Brown are the leaders Mr.. Brown
and his three pretty feminine partners
show much grace in novel waltz polkas
and tango dances. The ballet led by Miss
| Graham, presents one Of the most de-
! Eghtful and charming stage pictures
seen here for a long time.
| Nor is it until the third act that the
richest comedy of the piece is discovered
and A. W. Baskcomb is Its generous con-
trbutor. as the new warder in the New
| Age prison. where the numbers for the
cells have been replaced with flowers to
distinguish them. His character por-
trayal is laughing scream
| In the last act. too, Maurice Farkoa' S
voice is very enjoyable. His song, Just
That You Are YOU to the tune of The
| Blue Danube" is one of the gems of the
| evening.
The mounting of the piece is in keeping
with the general excellence of music and

ity with a show girl in the board -ng
house leads the country girl and her
father to form a bad impression of the

and success win back for him his former

The play is well cast. Robert Dudley,

very effective, and Jason Robarts, as
Tom, shows ability with quiet force.
Elaine Dudley, as Jane Belknap, the girl
Tom loves, and Charlotte Langdon, as
Amy Leroy, adequately fill their roles.
while Lizzie Mccall, as the land,ady of
the boarding house, kept the audience in
an uproar of laughter. William Moran,
as Joe Weinstein and Charlotte Downing,

That "The Country Boy" who goes to a

this week. Humor and pathos are cum

but unique interest.
THE Country Boy is shown throughout
the evolution of his disillusionment. En-
tering the metropolis with no experience,
but an abundance of youthful confidence
he is soon without funds The vicissitudes
of boarding house life and his inability
to get a position soon show their effect
upon him. Then, a girl-"the girP'-from

world has had its standards and its

Desdemona, in looks, in manner and in
