COSMOS.

Arson, famous baseball captain and
leader of the six-times champion white
Stockings of Chicago" in the SOS, received
a rousing welcome at the Cosmos Thea
ter yesterday. The great baseball gen.
eral seemed as young as when he led his
nine years ago. He told stories Of the
game, and said Merlle was not the man
who made the second base famous by
cutting II in his circuit after a hit, for
Nike Kelly cut straight from first TO
third and, II the umpire "called him. :,
would blandly reply that he was O
stranger and did not know where TO
look for the base. He scored a big hit
with buck-and-wing dance. Ed and
Nettie Masse have laughable act, with
eccentric juggling. Copeland and Walsh
have "a little bit of everything" in
Guiding some funny back-talk and songs.

AT THE THEATERS LAST NIGHT

to make q successful burlesque show.
Very little Is seen Of the chorus. which
is unusually large and good looking.
The> Watson Sisters are the whole
show. and when they are not before,
the footlights things drag. They form
an excellent team, but alone cannot
satisfy their audiences. They are far
above the usual headIiners in burlesque
shows. Their gowns are elaborate, and
would cause the star in any Of the pop
ular musical comedies TO frown with
envy. They wear them well and Tar
overshadow the rest of the cast. They
furnish all OF tho music and fun in
the show.
The masculine part Of the cast Is
headed by Ed Smalley, Null Clark, and
Fred C. Collins. They would fit better
in the show II their parts were en-
livened and they were given an oppor-
tunity to pull some real comedy.
The scenic effects are by far the
most elaborate OF any show that has
ever been at the Gayety. No expense
has been spared in producing the show.
and. with little revision, II would be
an excellent performance. The scenery
compares favorably with that of many
Of the high-priced predictions, but
burlesque audiences do not go to see
elaborate scenery. They so for the
amusement furnished by catchy music
and good comedy.

performance at the Academy last night.
The story. which has to do with the
question Of individual rights and pleas

riages seem to render recourse to divorce
absolutely necessary, rather than the
obligation Of such parents to their chill

more talent than was displayed BY the
company which gave it.

Of the so-called up-to-the-minute comedy,
''Our Wives" which was seen here Just
year ago. Their work In this comedy. an

strates even more clearly than most OF
the other plays the ability Of this versa

rather meager elements and opportuni-

bright and CHEEKY fabric as whole.
The story Is Of the adventures Of q
librettist, who styles himself a woman
avoider rather than a woman-hater, but
who is forced to coIlaborate with a ruem-
Der OF the sex he dispises. The girl in
the case has written a haunting melody

COLORS OF NATIONAL FLAGS.

Has it ever struck you which color
ia most often seen in the flags of the
world? Probably it hasn't, because
there are not many people who can
recognize more than a dozen flags
at the outside. Well, the most popu-
lar color is red, which is found in
the stf rdards of no fewer than nine
teen countries out of twenty-five.
Practically every one of the Euro
pean states, together with Mexico,
enezuela, Chile and Cuba, boast the
color red in their national flags.
Blue is found in the emblems of the
United States, Russia, France. Great
Britain, Holland, Ecuador, Sweden,
Chm, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba
Black is not at all popular, being found
cnly in the cases of Germany, Bel
GUM and China. while Germany is no.
ticeable for having black and white
together. Nine countries boast Of
flag partly yellow, viz, Austria, Bel
giunl, Spain, Brazil, Persia, Sweden,
