ReAned Vaudeville.

A splendid bill opened Monday at
B. F. Keith's, and large audiences at
both matinee and evening performances
showed their appreciation Of the clever
and entertaining numbers President

ance.
Henry E. Dixey, described on the pro-
gram as a .'mono-drama-vaud-ol -ologist.
deserves the title. for he ran the gamut
of the whole realm Of vaudeville enter
tainment in amusing mimicry and Incl
dentally displayed flashes OF his great
talent as an artist.
Every one seemed glad to again hear
LYONS and Yosco. and after hearing
Yosco play his wonderful harp and hear
ing again their romantic dialect songs,
positively refused to let them leave the
stage until they had sung all their new
compositions and many of the old ones.
Maud Lambert and Ernest-Ball charmed
their auditors with delightfully."- catchy
songs. and Miss Lambert sang probably
their best liked piece. Mother Machree.
The Lelands did some clever lightning
stroke landscape painting, their efforts
producing really surprisingly complete ef-
fects The Cadets de Gascogne sang pic
turesaue martial music. and are a quar-
tet of stirring and animated singers
BERTHE Heron and Bonnie Gaylord had
the maximum of laugh-producing power
in their sketch. which WAS a miniature

Pullman car and accessories
Gormley and Caffrey variated the usual
acrobatic stunts with some good comedy
that was genuinely novel. Twisto twisted
himself until every one held their breath

ANAc0STlA TO START

Federation for Social Sevics Win
Try to Induce Picture Shows to
Close on Sabbath.

The Anacostia Federation for Social
Service within few days will begin q
vigorous campaign against Sunday per-
formances at motion picture shows in the
suburb. with the view Of inducing the
managers to close their theaters on Sun
days. Several of the pastors Of the Ana
costa. churches protested against open
Sunday" from their pulpits last Sunday
and urged that steps be taken to have all
amusement places closed on that day.
The fact that the question of Sunday
amusements in the District is being 80
strongly agitated has lead some to be-
lieve that the matter will have to be set
tied finally by Congressional action. and
they desire to await this action before
doing anything further in the matter.

plans were made for the supper to be

NATIONAL.
"I.a Bob eme."

Continuing its commendable efforts to
give the public grand opera in English
on an artistic and pretentious scale, the
Aborn Company gave an admirable per-
formance Of Giacomo Puccinrs la
Boheme" at the National Theater last
evening.
This delightful opera relates the love
story of Rudolph. a poet. and Mimi.
habitants Of the Latin Quarter OF Paris.
1t is happily fitted to summer presenta-
ton. being light in character and full of
pretty melodies of superior quality that
make little more demand on the atten-
ton than a good modern musical
comedy.
The performance was marked by
happy abandon of spirits on the part
Of the entire company. Elena Kirmes
and Albert Amadi. in the principal roles
last night. We're most agreeable. Miss
Kirmes sang Mimi with a warmth of
tone and an artistry that was unusually
attractive. Her rendition of They Call
Me Mimi" was quite satisfying. She
evinced a complete and sympathetic I'M
derstanding of Murger's heroine.
Mr.. Amadi is q conscientious and ca
pable Italian tenor. and sings Rudolph
Win IuuCu purity OF tone. Inc painter
friend. Marcel. of James Stevens was
prominent because of his splendid barry
tone voice and pleasing personality
Gladys Chambers Musetta was properly
vivacious and vixenish. She made As
Through the Streets" particularly effec-
tive. The four singers mentioned gave a
particularly happy rendering of Fare
well. Sweet Love- the great finale of
the third act.
Alfred Kaufman. as Colline. a philoso-
pher, scored IN the song of the coat. and
Paul Galazzfs Schaunard. the musician
was also very good. The beautiful voices
Of these singers added very much to the
success of the evening. The chorus also
was quite effective in the gay Latin
Quarter scene of the second act.
The opera Is well staged. Nothing
could be more appreciated these warm
nights than the very realistic snow scene,
which. in its effect on the imagination,
was most refreshing. La Boheme" will
be repeated by the Aborn Company to-
night and tomorrow afternoon and night.
Johanna Kristoffy and Walter wheatley

Amadi. and on Thursday evening and for
the remainder OF the week, Flotow's

sung.
