B. F. KEITHS.
Refined Vaudeville.

TopIined by Joseph Howard and
Mabel McCane. musical comedy stars.
this weeks bill at B. F. Keith's offers
a menu of splendid amusement. As a
comedian Mr.. Howard ranks with the
best in the domain Of drollery; also he
is a clever writer of songs and musical
shows that have made his name popu-
lar with theater-going folk. Miss Nc
Cane, a clever and petite comedienne.
enforces him with an abundance of
charm and grace.
Ball and West appear in a sketch,
Since the Days of '61." With the
former in the role of a typical civil
war veteran and his partner doing a
straight part that is clean and enjoy
able, their act is a skillful combination
of humor and sentiment.
A beautiful aquatic spectacle, "Nep-
tunes Garden of Living Statues" won
merited recognition at yesterday and
last nights performances. Two stellar
solo dancers, Signor Carlo Casetta, and
Signorina Lillian Lestora, have the
principal roles, while the diving feats
are good.
The Boganny troue of acrobats pre-
sent a Iaughable act called Fun in a
Bakeshop." Nonette is a pleasing
young woman whose voice combines
with her skill on the violin in making
her a welcome addition to vaudeville.
Lady Alice's pets, composed of dogs.
cats, and rats, work together in perfect
harmony in the presentation of an un-
usual assortment of stunts Ray Ray
mond and Florence Balm in an amusing
slxit; Educardo and Elisa Cansino,
Spanish dancers. and Hearst-Selig news
pictorial complete the bill
The Washington herald., 1915-01-05

begins with 'The Tango Factory" The
Carnes Sisters-and Burns, and Mauce
Heath and Harry Ford do the terpsi-
chorean festures to complete satisfaction
and exemplify all that is new in the
dance world.
The second act is THE Country Club "
featuring as gay a cabaret as ever ex-
listed, and II is in this scene that the
hilarious aggregation Of pretty girls are
very active.
The chorus is a bunch Of young and
pretty girls of requisite nImblensss and
sprightliness. Lew Hilton keeps the au-
Gience in continuous laughter. He is ar
old favorite and is big bright spot in
any burlesque company which he leads.
BilIV Evans, Lloyd Perrick and Harry
Fond are good comedians and contribute
gccdly portion of merriment. Fhs long
list OF song numbers are all so tunaful
anG lively that it would be unfair to
SIMPLE out any Of them for special men,
ton
The show is a pleasing agglomeration
of the essential elements OF successful
burlesque offerings, snappy music, swift
moving fun and stunning chorus, which
directs the pronouncement, "A Big
Show"

WOMEN SUFFER
FROM THE WAR
Thousands of Women of Europe Are
Left Destitute, Unprotected,
and in Misery.

The hearts of the women of America go
out to their sisters in Europe who are left
in misery and want. American women
often suffer from arrangements that are
purely feminine.
At the first symptoms of any derange-
ment Of the feminine organism at any
period Of life the one safe, really helpful
remedy is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion.
1t is a wOman's medicine and as such
its mighty and marvellous restorative
power is acknowledged the country over.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
true friend to women in times of trial
and at times Of pain when the organs are
not performing their functions. For
headache, backache, hot flashes, catarrh-
al condition, bearing down sensation,
mental depression, dizziness, fainting
spells, lassitude and exhaustion women
should never fail to take this tried and
true women's medicine
It's not g secret remedy. for all the
ingredients are printed on the wrapper.
Sold in either tablet or liquid form.

COSMOS.

The Passenger Wreck" is the big
surprise of the Cosmos Theater bill this
week. presenting a thrilling melodra-
matte playlet that is abruptly brought
to a climax with a Iaughable comedy
ending. The Riva Larsen Troupe pre-
sent a splendid exhibition of acrobatic
fcats. all of them new and each invOlv-
ing great strength, skill and agility, as
well as nerve. Carson and Willard are
the big laughmakers with a funny COL
loquy preceding a number of new topi-
cal songs. each of which makes a hit.
The Bulgarian Duo opens the bill with
songs and the interesting dances OF the
woman OF the troupe. Bennington. a
clever singer. also proves himself some
what of an eccentric dancer as well as
a high kicker of consequence, while
Peggy Dougherty sings ballads nicely
with a clear and expressive soprano
voice. The Hearst -Selig war pictures
and views of other big happenings in
the world lead the phOtoplay exhibit.

which he captures the audience, and
there are many other pretty numbers.
The scene at Robinson Crusoe Inn,
outside Paris, with its little nests up in
the trees for spooning couples, was an
artistic delight, and the costumes of
the ladies also deserve a word of ad-
miring comment Although The Girl
of Girls" is not in any sense epoch
making, the tuneful music is tastefully
sung, the comedy is funny and come
dians good. and the production is en-
tertaining.

RUSSIANS ESCAPED GERMANS
Action of Von Hindenburg'S Cavalry
 Likened to Famous COups.

London, Eng. Sept 22-The latest report from the fighting around Wilma indicates the Russian army has es- capped the clutches of the German. who have pressed the Muscovities tc the limit of speed and endurance.
 During the past week von Hinden- burg's cavalry raids have been likened to the famous coups of Jeb Stuart and Phil Sheridan in the American Civi. War. By this complete screen c' horsemen, soldiers have been sent out to harrass the Russians on all sides, but it now appears that this cordcn of cavalry is too weak to impede the re- treat of General Ruszek's veterans.
 If the Russians have escaped, crit ics here say that Russia has just cause to feel a great relief for the recent de- parture of Grand Duke Nicholas who deprived the army of it's cautious tai tiOs, which the worlds military ex- perts declare to be second to none,

BREAK IN PIPE LINE
Break in Prairie Pipe Line Causes
 Big Oil Loss.

Texarkana, Sept. 20-A break in the piping in Prairie Pipe Line com pahy, three miles south of Genoa, and ten miles southeast of here, yes terday afternoon, caused a less of about three thousand barrels of oil before the line could be repaired and the leak stopped. The oil formed all most river and ran down on In cline for nearly half mile. A man thoughtlessly touched a match to it, whereupon there wos a terrific ex- plosion, followed by road which could be heard for miles, causing great alt rm to farmers in that sec tion until they learned the cause.
