offered at the Academy in Officer 66S -
AuGustin MacHugh's meIodrama, with the
Introduction of humor by George NJ
COhan. which makes it a farce filed with
refreshing fun and excitement
The play is presented by Conan and
Harris and this is its first appearance in
Washington. The rapid succession of
exceedingly clever situations, bubbling
over with Cohanesque humor, keeps the
auditors in continuous uproar and there
was a crowded house, which seemed to en-
joy every moment of this farce. which
is as amusing and ranks with ''WaIling-

The story OF "oficer sss' is fun OF
delightful surprises and deals with a
young millionaire who returns from
abroad Unexpectedly tohis home to find
that A burgdas has userped his name
and is about to depart with some of
his valuable paintings and a girl whose
trust he has won. There is woven an
interesting story Of love. and the activi-
ties of the uniform of "OffiCer 6s6'
furnish real surprises and rare fun.
Sydney Southland is the shrewd picture
thief and his performance as Alfred Will
son is so clever as to completely win
the audience in his handlin Of the en-
tanglements of the plot. Ernest Evers
is pleasing and effective in the char
aCter OF Travers Gladwin. The comic
role OF Whitney Barnes is thoroughly
brought out by Harola Howard who al
ways is in evidence with his fun. John
Morris has the titular role and he looks
the part. Julia Nagi and Blanche Aimes
are attractive, and the rest of the cast
are happily chosen.

age has drawn heavier the lines in his

The Ghost Breaker" which last night
began a weeks engagepent at the New
National Theater with. H. B. Warner In
the title role, is a unique entertainment
a haunted melodrama, made to scintillate
by Mr. Warmers brilliance in the pre-
sentation of the title role.
To begin with, the widely advertised
thrills are all there. Nor does one have
to wait long for their beginning after the
rise of the first curtain, which reveals
a darkened bedchamber in the Hotel Man
haitian in New York City. From some
where in the darkness a clock chimes

depths of the hotel. and the Princess

~ into her room, dangling gun IN

While awaiting the police the Young
feudist wins the sympathies of her high
ness, who consents to help him out Of
his difficulties provided he will repay
her in kind by Kidding her ancestral
castle in Spain of its bloOdthirsty ghost.
Laughing at the sweet seriousness OF
the Princess, Jarvis enters into the pro-
fession Of Ghost Breaker" is hidden IN

Now the castle OF the charming Prin-

hero is quick to guess that the alleged
ghost is i'm the very human form OF

the castle Of its spook. and wins the

and Charles W. Goddard. Mr.. Warner is

REAL TRAINING HAS MADE FRANK KLAUS
TOPN0TCHER IN MIDDlE lEWEIGHT CLASS

Pittsburg, May 17.-Hard, conscien-
tious training has made Frank Klaus,
Pittsburg middleweight, the most dam
gerous man in his class. Today he
is regarded in the sport world as the
rightful claimant to the throne of the
late Stanley Ketchel 1t wouldn't be
So if klaus were not fond of hard work
From the time that match is ar
ranged by his manager, George Engel,
Klaus starts his campaign. Though
light drinker and smoker under ordi-
nary conditions, the moment he crosses
the training camp door he lives like
monk. 1t may be said that Klaus is
in training a good share of the time.
Klaus reputation in American rings
was established three or four years
ago, but it remained for his recent
campaign in France to give him the
prestige which he now enjoys.
1t was in 1909 that Klaus won his
first notauIe Victory-that over Harry
Lewis, who was then regarded as one
of the very best heavy welterweights
in the country. The battle was fought
in Philadelphia and won by Klaus in
six rounds.
Klaus managed to keep in the lime
light until 1912, when he won consid-
erable fame in the sport world by de-
feating both Sailor Petroskey and Jack
Dillon, en- the Pacific coast, in 20 round
contests.
linen came MS european INVASION.
The Pittsburger's first fight on for
eign soil was at Dieppe, France. His
antagonist was Georges Carpenter,
champion of France, and supposedly
invincible. Klaus won in 10 rounds.
Marcel Moreau, another Frenchman,
was next encountered. He was easier
for the American and went down in
four rounds.
Then fell before the victorious Klaus
NJ. Bione, who on September u, at Ly-
ons, France, took the count in three
rounds.
Then came the big fight of Klaus
career-that with Billy Papke in Paris
