"FIne Feathers."

The Poll Players offering this week
is Eugene Walters fOur-act play,
Fine Feathers" the performance OF
which, last night, was attended by the
usual capacity audience. The play
tells the thrice told tale Of an honest
man being driven to the "demnition
bow-wows" by his wife's inordinante
craving for luxuries which he cannot
affor to give her and the denial Of
which causes her to take the step that
leads to their ultimate ruin and her
husbands suicide. Robert Reynolds,
tempted by a former college chum to
slight the test of the cement going
into the construction of a great dam,
refuses the offer of a large sum of
money. His wife, who has overheard
the conversation, enters into negotia-
tions with John Brand. the interested
party with a view to influencing her
husband to sell his integrity. Rey-
nolds, in order to set his wife free
from the questionable position in which
she has placed herself. takes up the
original offer. In the big city he goes
the pace, including stock gambling,
and finally commits felony. At the
last moment comes the news that the
dam has broken and that hundreds
have perished. Reynolds is over
whsImed by the realization that he is
responsible for the catastrophe and
blows his brains out.
On the whole the performance was high
" creditable. Jane Morgan's rendering
Of Jane Reynolds was a consistent and
convincing presentation Of the shallow
minded wife whose perverted ideas of
what constitutes honorable dealing causes
all the trouble Carl Brikert visualized
successfully the husband whose undoing
is caused by the combined efforts Of
supposed friend and a giddy wife. Will
lam H Evarts was admirable as DICK
Meade, Reynolds closest friend, and Her
bert Dobbins as John Brand, the business
man, who stirs up all the mischief, drew
a perfect portrait of the rascal who does
not hesitate to plunge everybody into
misery as long as he can benefit thereby.
Ada Sherman as Mrs. Collins, the neigh
Dor, and Louise Kent as Frieda, the
Swedish servant, were highly successful
in furnishing the comedy element OF ac-
ton. Marie Carroll was very attractive
nurse.

WALTER F. SYKES TELLS
OF BATTLE OF MARINE
Brooklyn Business Man. Eyewitness,
Puts No Stock in Stories of
= Alleged Atrocities.

New York. Oct 12-walter F. Sykes,
Of Brooklyn, who came down the gang
plank of the French liner, Rochambeau,
when she docked today, was an eye wit
ness Of the battle Of the Marne. For three
days Mr. Sykes stood on the hills over
looking the battle.
Mr.. Sykes Is head OF the Walter F.
Sykes Chemical Company. which has
factories in Belgium and Germany. and
It was on business her for his hrm that
he went to Europe five months ago.
Following the battle, Mr.. Sykes spoke
to French and German wounded officers.
The Germans told him that conserva-
tive estimate of their. dead up to Sep
tember Is was $500, which total is be-
Ing added to daily from the battlefield
and from the hospitals. The French loss
in killed has been placed at 5000.
"As for all these stories Of atrocities
that are being told" said Mr.. Sykes
II am positive there is but little founda-
tion for them and that all are greatly
exaggerated. had many opportunities to
converse with the wounded OF all the
armies and not one word did hear Of
cruelty.
Despite their early successes, the Ger
mans will lose this war, but 1t will be
long and bloody one"

novelty in costumes, scenery, dances, and
melody may show the effects OF strain,
but thus far there is no sign that sue
cess grows unattainable. MY Best Girl'
comes from a long New York run, un-
famed for any brilliant innovations or
extraordinary features, but a rousing big
audience last night assured prosperous
week at the Columbia Theater.
The merely snowy and catchy ele-
ments that go to the making OF this
sort of entertainment have been worked
over till the goods are threadbare, but
there remains the factor Of personality.
with depths not so easily sounded. and
that after all is what floats the ship.
Musical comedies are personalities dis
played in a decorative setting.
Victor Morley has the personality to
carry a show to success, IL anything will.
He is a quaint little Englishman with the
mannerisms peculiar to his nation in itS
comic mood. He appears as Richard Van
derfieet, a wealthy mollycoddle whose ef-
forts to escape from the consequences Of
a street fight in a night of joyous ad-
venture leads him TO assume the dis
guise of a deserter from the army, in
which character he is taken to Governors
Island, the scene of the second act. Here
he extracts much amusement from his
adventures in drill, mess, and guard
house.
Miss Cherie Coleman. in the leading
feminine role, strikes a note Of dainty
and plaintive modesty that is most ap-
peaIing, and won warm recognition from
the audience.
Miss Inez Baner. as Daphne Toilette.
of the Moulin Rouge. and Miss Marie
Sabbott as an ingenious German maiden,
are very attractive in dancing speci-
alties. Miss Estelle McNeal imparts grace
and refinement of manner to the role of
Beatrice BoIliver. engaged to Dickey
Vanderfieet, and Miss Rose Watson is
Mrs. Wellington Bolliver.
Several more or less interesting men
occupy the necessary male parts in the
cast, the best being Horace H. Porter
as a particularly fierce private, and
Henry Coote as a captain with a fine
tenor voice. John w. Walker in modern
dances with Miss Sabbott is worthy OF
mention.
OF the musical numbers 'I Do Like
Your Eyes is the well-known favorfte,
which is unforgettably impressed by
repetition. Other likabIe tunes are Mis-
ter Schnoodles,' "A Regular Army
Man." and There's a Cottage in the
Country" The best hit of all was the
delightful Mess Ditties," consisting of
snatches of song by the chorus OF sol
diers deliciously led by Mr.. Morley.

Jardin de Danse." with four clever dane
ing couples and pretty scenery, consti-
tute the leading attraction OF the Cos
mos Theater bill this week. 1t is one Of
the best dancing aggregatiOns offered
here in a long while, and was popular
with all audiences yesterday and last
night Les Keliors open the bill with a
fine exhibition OF acrobatic and balanc-
ing work, introducing feats Of strength;
Henry and Adelaide have a song and
dance Offering that Is both clever and
refined; Owen Wright mimics everything
from the sounds IN New York Harbor to
a cello, and Evans and Vidocq make a
great deal Of laughter with their non
sensicaI sketch called "Do You Want an
Assistant" very clever character
sketch, with a popular moral, is pre-
sented by Rutledge, Pickering and COM
pany in "A Fatted Calf" The Hearst

zone in Europe. A change of bill is an

ton: and the cast is composed Of some
very clever people who sing, dance ,and
chatter engagingiy every moment OF
their time before the footlights; they
could not have avoided success il they
tried. Stella Mayhem is a happy heavy
weight who knows how to put over" a
quip and quibble and land a few parIan-
dos with gayety and gusto. Her songs,
'Dixiana Rise" and Jim" went big
last night. Ada Meade has the best voice
in the company, which she uses to advan-
tage in When Sammy Sang the Marsel-
laise." The vociferous applause allotted
to this number by the audience indicated
that they had not altogether forgotten
that there is a war on hand just now.
Miss Meade acted with great charm and
Yivacity and receiyed q Cordial welcome
on her first entrance from those who re-
membered her pleasant work in this city
several summers ago.
Emma Francis danced particularly we'll
and sang very nicely, too, for a dancer.
Elizabeth Wood has a fresh, well modu-
particularly effective, and she is charm
ing creature. Adele ArdsIey and Dorothy
Wolfe had no difficulty in looking pretty.
Philip Ryley. Eugene O'ROurke, Bernard
Gorcey, Billie Taylor, Paul Porcasi and
Augustus Schultz are the big six
comedians.
None over twenty and all good looking
would be a good motto for the chorus.
1t was all that high-class chorus should
be-numerous, fresh-toned, graceful and
well trained. Everybody went home hum
ming and smiling, which is the test Of a
musical entertainment. II laughter and
merriment by exhilerating and hygienic,
High Jinks" certainly is the goods for
you and me.

Material.

musical extravaganza, is distinctive for a
lack much OF the tiresome horseplay
of ordinary burlesque and is true to Its
title, as 1t is replete with a wealth Of
tuneful music sung by numerous princi-
pals and gorgeously appareled girls.
A number that calls for more encores
than the artists are physically able to re-
spond to is the fox trot" by J-annette
Mohr. the comedienne, and Sarah Hyatt,
the prima donna In this remarkable act
Miss Mohr succeeds in accomplishing a
series Of backward kicks over her head as
she whirls around the stage.
This is the most difficult feat known to
dancing gymnasts. and the truly ex-
traordinary thing about the stunt is that
Jeanette is not slim but plump. She is
known as the India Rubber Dancing
Dolr' and she bounces up to the springy
name.
Marie Hausman, the well-known art
lists model is the only Washington girl
in the company. Miss Hausman is called
the Perfect Gibson Blonde" having
posed for some of the famous Gibson pic
lures. Her many local friends in the au-
dience made their appreciative presence
known in hearty fashion.
This is another week of dance, skillfully
interpreted by Earl and Marie Gates.
The "Tangoetta" from the Barbary coast
is the real dance novelty. but all the
modern dances were brought in for the
many encores.

B. F. KEITH'S.
HIEh-cIass Vaudeville.

Nora Bayes, husbandless, as far as the
stage is concerned, came back to Wash
ington yesterday from war-ridden Eu-
rope and captivated two appreciative au-
diences at B. F. Keith's temple of the
two-a-day.
OF course, Miss Bayes sang some Of the
old favorites which made her famous, but
her latest cycle of songs, sung as only
she can sing them, makes brilliant ad-
dition to her repertoire. Probably her
best number is Sunshine SAL" remind
er of some of her earlier songs.
The rest of the bill is well-balanced,
Joe Jackson, tramp comedy cyclist, TAX
ing second honors. With a clever make
up, in which his tattered clothes cause
all his difficulties, he keeps his audience
in a continual uproar. James and Bonnie
Thornton, "the youngest Of the old

lights for twenty-six years, were given
a hearty welcome. Lucy Gillette and
