syIvania Present maid in
Germany" at BeIasco.

Maid in Germany" as played by The
Mask and Wig Club Of the University
of Pennsylvania, was one of the hits
Of the season at the Belasco Theater
last night. In the college club class 1t
leads by a wide margin.
Replete with tuneful songs, and with
a chorus that compared ravorably with
many high class productions, the
comedy found a favor with the audi
ence in the first act which was re-
tained until the final number.
The book Is by Darrell H. Smith. the
scenario by Edwin NJ. Lavino. and the
lyrics by Charles Gilpin, who also fig
ures as the composer or adapter of
many of the songs. Edmund Fl. Rogers
devised and staged the novel ensem-
amusing specialties.
due to the chorus. The members of
that section Of the cast moved with
grace and precision and showed excel
lent training.
Maid in Germany" possesses just
enough plot to hang the music to and
no more. The specalties formed one
Of the laughable features of the show.
A hit at "Kismetr was one Of these.

enemy in the bath tub and then watches
him blow bubbles. A beautiful scene

well worth the seeing.

RANKS OF BELGIAN
STRIKERS INCREASED
Several Thousand More Social
ist Workingmen Join in
Movement in Brussels.

BRUSSELS. April 15.-The suffrage
strikers were Joined toay by several
thousand more Socialist workingmen.
and at the Peoples Palace. Leader VAN
dervelde declared that the movement Is
progressing to schedule. He said it was
the plan Of the Socialists to bring the
strike on SO gradually that Belgisn
industry would not be suddenly para
lyzed.
That only between 100000 and 10000
Workingmen quit yesterday was 20
garded by the Clericals as a victory.
They called the strike ''fasco." but
Camille Huysman. directing the strik-
ers. today maintained that all who were
expected to go out the first day did So.
and predicted that by tomorrow the
first days figures would be doubled.

CHASE,S

A comedy, a scene from Faust" and
a scene from the Shakespearean drama,
Julius Caesar are the subjects of the
three Edison talking-picture shows be-
ing given at Chase's this week. These
pictures, the latest invention of Mr..
Edison. are attracting large crowds at
the Fifteenth-street theater, not only
drawing from the ranks of those who
view them as a novelty, but to those
who have seen them before, and marvel
at the excellent reproduction and use of
the human voice in conjunction with the
clearly delineated scenes.
OF course, there is still much to be
perfected in the reproduction of the
voice to eliminate the artificial or phon-
ographic sound. The pictures are the
last word in reproductive art. Conse-
quently the only thing needed to make
them virile, breathing dramas is a high
er development of the reproduction OF
human voice.
In addition to the talking pictures.
Chase shows the Kinemacolor and other
moving pictures. All in all, the pro-
gram at the Fifteenth street playhouse
makes the theater a good place to while
away the passing moments between the
hours of business and care.

CASINO.

An enjoyable first-part minstrel show
is given at the Casino Theater this
week by the Oliver Comedy Players, all
of whom are talented and up to date
in their entertainment. The end men.
Wilson and Zeitler; the Nelson sisters,
Mura and Lillian, and Laura Chester,
graceful toe dancer. are especially
good.
The waif." presented by the Three
Bittners. is a real dramatic gem and
much above the ordinary playlet offer
ing characteristic of vaudeville. The
players are exceptionally good and un-
derstand the art of blending tears and
smiles. The Ragtime Trio. with narp.
violin, mandolin and guitar. furnishes
an excellent musicai number. the
harpiss being especially pleasing.
Clara Thropp. with Tanguay aspira-
tions. scored a hit with her brain
storm offerings of songs and lmita-
tions, and Price and Price furnish an
adequate number Of thrills with sen-
sational performance on the high tra-
peze. The pretty photoplays are shown
at each performance.

COSMOS

A splendid aquatic exhibition is fur
nished this week at the Cosmos Theater
by "The Water Nymphs" in a diving
carnival, featuring all known dives to
swimmers and many thoroughly sensa-
tional and novel ones in a great tank Of
real water, with a pretty scene setting.
The nymphs are not only expert swim
mers and divers. but highly trained and
graceful athletes as well, and their
show is interesting throughout.
Some hearty laughter followed the
Sam at the Circus sketch. which was
presented by Gruet and Gruet, and had
to do with the hiring of the one in
blackface by a circus man to take the
lion out for a walk. Both men are good
instrumentalists and played some pleas
ing selections on the cornet. trombone,
French horn, and Clarinet.

The story of a Trappist monk, who,
firing of the monotonous monastery life
and whose innermost soul is crying for
freedom. both of life and thoughts of
q woman who, seeking solitude, wends
her way toward the African desert in
search of such a life: of their meeting.
their strange courtship, and their mar
riage; of a second flight into the very
heart of the desert-"The Garden of
Allah" the Mohammedans call it; the
ultimate sorrow of the renegade monk
and his return to his bleak, cold cell
all this told with word and picture, amid
stage settings for gorgeousness and inn
pressiveness probably never before seen
in Washington, constitutes the produc-
ton at the New National this week.
"The Garden of Allah" produced by
the Liebler & Co., on the dramatization
Of Robert Hichens' book by that name,
by Mr.. Hichens and Mary Anderson
Navarro, represents great accomplish
ment in road theatricals. Ben Hur, y
Kismet," Daughter of Heaven" and
other spectacular productions known to
Washingtonians seem to pale in COM
parison with this, the latest spectacle,
just from the Century Theater in New
York.
Stage Small.
True it is that the stage at the -hea-
ter is hardly large enough for the large
quantity of scenery, and the many MEM
bers of the company. together with the
animals, necessary in making the play
so lifelike. On the opening night, the
work of shifting the scenery also. was
inclined to drag at times, but this was
expected. The shifters now have their
bearing, and following performances
should be flawless.
Dorothy Donnelly is the recognized
"'star'" of the production, although the
young Englishman, Lawson Bltt, as
Boris, divides the honors with the for
mer. and plays a role. difficult in the
extreme, to perfection
All that is theatrical about the pro-
duction is reduced to a minimum as
much as possible by the producers. No

Story Familiar.
The story of THE Garden of Allah"
probably is known to nearly all
theatergoers. The book upon which
1t is based has been read by thous-
ands, while the newspapers and mag
azines have discussed and reviewed
the production for months.
