more played before an audience which
filed the National Theater yesterday
afternoon when it presented its merry
hodge-podge of song and dance, Many
Happy Returns" for the benefit of the
,'hrist Child Society Clever vaudeville
numbers. well sung songs and snappy
dances that would have done credit TO
Pavlowa herself. not to mention the Cas-
ties and other exponents of the modern
dances, made up a performance that was
trst-class in every detail. The audience

BurTesque Comedy First.
The first part of the show consisted
of a burIesaue comedy. "A Daughter of
Eve" in which Charles Andrew Mccain.
in the feminine role of a suffragette, car
ried off the honors. 1t was followed by
a dance revue. Some of the Baltimore
boys made the best looking girls seen
on a local stage in long time, and
danced as gracefully as any real girls
could. Notably \. Dana Hodgson, as
Pavlowa, and j. Hyland kuhns, as M
Berge, were clever exponents of the
dance step. The Harlequins and Column
bines were also pleasing.
A cabaret entertainment was the fea-
ture of the second part of the after
moons performance, and in this offering
of impromptu stunts it is hard to pick
the winner. Arthur Pierce gave clever
impersonation of Bert Williams. MIR. Nc
Cam scored again as Caruso, in one
man opera burlesque of a typical comic
opera AS She Is Sung, Joseph W.
Swikert, jr., as Hazel Mutt" won ap-
plause, and Nell Hughes and J. Hyland
kuhns danced the maxixe to perfection.
If the prize went to any couple to the
exclusion of others, probably Ridgeiy
Fisher and Francis s. Beacham carried
it off with their graceful and charming
dance number, which was good enough
to make the real girls in the audience
cnvious-
