There is a quaintness and pastoral
charm about Polly of the Circus"
with its horse hair furniture. vii,
lage, church, simple dresses, and
rural Gial lect. that makes 1T pecu-
liarly fitting spring evenings enter
tainment. Most suggestive of all is
the passing circus parade. the init
mate terms of the sawdust ring. and
a peep at, the circus lot itself.
Into this picture and into Mar
garet Mayo 8 naive story the Poll
Players adjusted themselves last
evening with a precision unusual for
an opening night OF a stock company.
True, Helen Tracy and Louis Haines
were disguised, but not unrecogniz-
able behind coats Of burnt cork. and
Russell Fillmore appeared in the un-
usuaJ makeup of deacon. and the
nnale or two scenes found Albert
ltoscoc reading passages from the
book Of Puth. But the company
round little difficulty, APPARENTLY. IN
incursions into modern problem plays
and farces to this more homely type
or stage entertainmcnt.
Naude Gilbert early established
intimacy that her appearance in a
robe de mutt suggested. and Harry
Andrews had one of the most ef-
fective passages of the play when
clown, whose affection for "Polly"
was the one deep. real. and serious
thing OF his life.
Hose Macdonald and Teresa Dale
proved themselves fully equipped
for character parts of excellent op-
portunity as village gossips and
prudes. Gavin Harris. as the boss
canvasman. adequately suggested the
tenderness a man OF rough exterior
felt for the one refining influence Of
dusty ro1ds and blatant excitement
Always adequate to any role, Helen
Tracy infected an added degree Of
Inerrinent into the role Of a colored
housekeerer. Louis Haines was ade
quately lazy as her "worser half"
Easily one OF the best characterize
tions was that Of Mr. Fillmore. who
restrained admirably the tendency

THE N. q. ID. c. POSITION

There is a pressing need for the
immediate appointment of COM
mander of the National Guard of the
District of Columbia. Since the res
;gnation of Gen. George H. Harries
the organization has been without
IN administrative head. A number
Of, issues have come up which de-
mand settlement and which can only
ne adjusted by the commanding Of
fcer.
A site for the national encamp-
-nent has not been decided upon.
Usually this matter has been ar
~anged long before this stage of the
~eason. The guard faces the posi-
Iility of having to evacuate it's quar-
srs in the Center Market. The
'ental for the armory there has
,een raised and the Congressional
appropriation does not cover the in
crease.
Any of the names considered by
the War Department would be
agreeable to members of the organi-
zation. Among those who have per-
formed the most notable service are
Major Boyd Taylor, former pay
master and disbursing officer; Capt.
d. V. Chisholm, and Major C. Fred
Cook.
With the signature of General
Harries' commission as major gen.
eral on the retired list should come
the naming of his successor, who
will find series of problems to be
solved that will require prompt at
tention.

Sister Susle's sibilant sewing circle Is
being enlarged this week to admit each
person In the audience at keitns.
the entrance fee being a ticket
Of admission to the theater and an In
clination to assist Alice Lloyd. who
heads the vaudeville bill. earn her sal
arv as a headliner.
The chief feature of n music hall per-
sonality. such as Miss Lloyd possesses
in abundance. seems to be the ability of
the person possessing It to make the au-
dience furnish most of the amusement.
And when an audience fOrgets its dig
nifty and attempts to fit out its vocal
cords in the short. soft shirts that Sis
ter susie sews," plenty OF amusement
is provided
Alice Lloyd does other things besides
eXtol the virtues of the sewing sister.
She sets at naught all existing ideas
Of color schemes in the makeup of the
five or six frocks she wears to dazzle
beholders and sings as many songs as
there are frocks with a blonde noncha-
rhyming pair to be heard all over the
house while she deftly conceals the sec
ond line somewhere in her pretty throat.
With the assistance of a blase snake
and few yards OF gauzy drapery Prin-
cess Radjah provides the second fea-
ture of the weeks bill with "Cleopa-
tra's Dance" which Is most artistcally
executed. She also shows in the Ara
b!an chair dance. Just what woman
can do when she has properly trained
and developed jaws-the dance requir-
ing the dancer to set her pearly, teeth
firmly into the. back Of a chair ana
wave the chair around In the atmos-
phere to the accompaniment Of welro
Arabian music.
Aside from the two numbers the pro-
gram features. the bill offers a third
IN the form of a satirtc sketch on the
dance craze presented by George How
ell and company. which seemed to
please the audience and introduced a
real dancer in the person of Peter
Paige. The remainder of the enter
tainment included the Herbert Ger
maine trio of horizontal bar experts.

is now so avidly buying, but she will
be without the money even to buy
those she formerly took. Depending
too far upon the huge but momen-
tary increase of European business,
and failing to develop other lines
that would have the special value of
being permanent, this country might
easily make a grave commercial
mistake.
Government-owned ships of COM
merce have not been viewed with
favor by more than very small
minority in Congress. 1t is an open
secret that only the Presidents per-
sonal and political influence carried
the measure through the House, or
lined up the almost solid Democratic
support in the Senate. But the ext
gency will be far more apparent if
by next December the war is still
going full tilt, and yet private enter
prise shall not have moved to af-
ford shipping.
Before the Pan-American confer
ence the suggestion has been ad-
vanced that an international project
be devised, through which private
capital of the American countries
may be enlisted to develop this ship
ping business. 1t would seem to be
an ideal plan, for it would represent
at once an escape from the dangers
of governmental involvement in
such an enterprise, and also it would
represent a very real and tangible
cooperation, insuring definite
mutual concern for the success of
the scheme. 1t ought to be possible
for this Government to extend sub
stantial aid, concessions, and encour-
agement to such a plan, in co-opera-
tion perhaps with other govern
ments, certainly with the varied pri-
vate interests that would control the
investments. If there is substan-
tial chance of realizing this pro-
gram, it should by all means be
given every possible encouragement
by this country in preference to the
Government ownership project.

BEHIND THE WAR VEIL

This should prove to be week of
vast and violent assault upon the
Austro- German forces from all
sides, sea as we'll as land. There
can be no doubt that the entrance of
Italy into the war was timed to fit
to nicely into concerted and
general movement of the allies.
England, France, Russia, Belgium,
and even Serbia must have known
the exact moment when Italy would
strike, and where. At the same
moment it must have been pre-
arranged that all the anti German
powers of Europe should hurl
themselves in force upon the strain
ing German and Austrian lines, now
literally "ringed around with the
steel" of their enemies.
Probably for that very reason
complete news Of the actual develop
ments will be slow to come past the
rigid censorship to the outside
world. The gigantic program has
been too carefully planned out and
will be too thoroughly executed in
all details to permit an immediate
revelation of the most stupendous
military campaign of all history.
And yet we already know that
Russia, the inexhaustible, after a
series of reverses and retreats--it
may be partly feigned-has resumed
the offensive; that the invincible
Serbians, after a long duiescence are
again driving at Austria; that Brit
ish troops are now known to be
moving up two million strong-that,
furthermore, Roumania is about to
hurl her torch, if she has not already
done so, into the Balkan flames.
Meanwhile the eyes of all nations
not in the strife are intent upon
Italy along her northern frontier.
But it will be strange if the Italian
attack does not reveal itself in it's
earlier and more sensational results
at the head Of the Adriatic. 1t is
there that the weakest side of the
falling Hapsburg empire is most
open to breach from the outside.
1t is there that the Austrian resist
ance is most dangerously under
mined from the inside, where "Italy
unredeemed," within the borders of
Austria herself, quivers and rocks.
Watch the Adriatic, Trieste-and
the western outposts of all the
Balkans!

COSMOS.

Except tor the opening number, Per
maine, with an artistic musical offering

laughter and it succeeds excellently.
The laughter begins with "A Husband

sented by Dorothy Richmond. Pell
Tenant and company.
The Review Comedy Four. featuring
John Healy, the blackface comedian of
Al G. Fields minstrels Is one of the
best that ever offered at the Cosmos.
The Van Wards have a novel cabaret
act, with limitations and songs Brind

remarkable escape tricks that move
swiftly, and Willard and Bond, with
"Detectivism." a minstrel sketch, make
good their claims to amuse. Both plot
and dialogue are new. new Bray

news pictures, with the baseball score
board are the added features. A change
of bill is announced for Thursday.

move toward the outf1anking of the
central federation is not afoot, then
what is to be done with the great
British army? Most of it is still in
Great Britain, and report is that
general sentiment in France and
Russia considers that Britain is not
doing her share. Perhaps if all the
truth were known, Britain is doing
exactly what the allies directing au-
thorities want her to do: holding
back until the way shall be diplo-
matically opened for far more eff
fective use of her great reserve in
some new field of action.
1t is, of course, impossible that so
startling a strategic plan would be
communicated to the public; like
wise impossible that it would not be
suspected by the Teutonic fedora
tion. The British government can
not be expected to denude the tight
little islands of all their soldiery so
long as there is great German war
fleet in being; and therefore the is
sue may be expected to remain in
allegiance pending the naval clash
that some time must come. The
British have corked up the German
ocean at both ends and, apparently,
turned it over to the Germans to
play in as much as they like, in the
hope that Won Tirpitz will one day
undertake too ambitious venture
away from his base, and make it
possible to cut off his return and
force the great battle. The decisive
defeat of the German navy would
be followed by prompt thrusting
of the whole British army into some
promising part of the war zone, and
all evidence now points to the like
lihood that this will be a region
whence the great flank movement
can be launched against Germany.
Every frontier of the Kaiser's iron
ringed realm must be guarded
against this possibility.
