In Cousin Lucy" which is presented
at the New National Theater this week,
Julian Eltinge makes his appearance in
the garb Of a brisk young woman at
the very start. In his previous comedies
MIR. Eltinge has made his appearance
first as tailormade man, and then, to
the delight and amazement of all, skip
ped on the stage rouged, corseted and
gowned to the very height of fashion
a man in woman's clothes initiating
woman, but occasionally causing roars
of laughter by saying damn or by
smoking pipe. or by having an unsus-
pecting maid lift a safety razor from
the pseudo-lady's travelling kit.
The burst of originality which led
Charles Klein to build cousin Lucy"
with Mr.. Eltinge in feminine attire
right from the start. stopped at that
achievement. except that the caste in
cludes Dallas Wexford. a seasoned
comedian. whose impersonation of Bis
ter. the butler, is entirely refreshing.
Cousin Lucy" Is comedy with mu-
sic. .necessitating a company of young
women whose chief work is wearing a
series OF gowns in the second act, con-
veniently staged rs fashionable dress

gives Mr.. Eltinge a chance to appear

Mr.. Eltinge shows that despite his en-
bonpoint he is still able to lead the rest
of the company in high kicking.
True to type, Cousin Lucy is not
dependent on strong plot. 1t is the
story of Jerry Jackson, who for some
unknown reason suddenly appears in
the guise of Cousin Lucy. The change.
the reason for which is an unsolved
mystery yet. causes complications of
serious nature. An insurance COM
pany pays a policy on the supposed
death of Jerry Jackson: a tough girl
who lays claim to the estate as Jerrys
wife turs up and does not confess un-
til she becomes maud1in in the last
act; gold-plated California millionaire
falls in love with Jerry. believing him
to be Cousin Lucy. and at the same time
Jerry falls in love with pale blond,
who never cracks a smile from start
to finish. There are few mild situa-
lions, in which a crooked lawyer, klay-
burgh, well played by Austin Davis,
adds to the situation by conscientious
effort at entertaining. Queeny, the lady
who drank herself into a confession in
the last act, is a well drawn char
acter. and well presented by Harriet
Burt.
The cast includes Nina Melville, once
a popular member of a Washington
stock company: Mable Acker, as Mrs.
Hillary Bronson; Mark Smith as Hill
larry Bronson, and Mrs. Stuart Robson,
as Mrs. Walling ford.

Polls.

Barney Cook, boy "detectuf." is back
in town again, this time at Polls. in
the person of Ralph Remley. THE
Dummy sterling detective comedy,
has been seen in Washington many
times and is no less welcome in stock
than as presented by touring organ
ization. The character of Barney is
played by Mr.. Remley, who takes full
advantage as the Irish boy with am
billions to become detective. He
brings out the comedy in the role and
at the same time does not overseep the
bounds of the legitimate.
The story of 1.-The Dummy" has to do
with the machi. Itions of a precious
gang of gentlemanly crooks to kidnap
little girl, daughter of rich parents,
and hold her for ransom. Walter Bah
bing,i the great detective, comes to the
rescue and palms off his new recruit,
Barney, as a deaf and dumb son of
millionaire parents. The crooks fall
for Barney, and kidnap him, too, which
gives Barney his opportunity, of
course. To say that Barney misses
mary chance" is to put it mildly.
The story of how Barney reseues the
little girl from the hands of her cap
tors how he gives himself away to the
gang by talking in his sleep. how he
rights this nearly disastrous mishap,
and finally wins the reward Of $4,000
takes four pleasant acts to unfold.
Nice Crooks III every Se1iSe VI lHc
word are Piggy and Pat, and Sinker
and Rose. They treat little Beryl as
little Beryl ought to be treated. and
are not really bad crooks. If the
gang" seems too good to be true, at
! times, it is fault easily forgiven the
playwrights. because things too good
/; to be true are better than things too
| bad to be true-in plays, anyway.
Little Helen Hayes Brown. as Beryl,
the kidnapped child. gives an essentially
sweet. true characterization, and, with
Mr. Remley, is largely responsible for
the entertainment afforded. Especially
charming is her work in acts two and
three.
Howard Lang, as Babbing, the great
detective. is ideally cast. From re-
marks made last night by feminine
spectators, Mr.. Lang evidently is in
danger of becoming matinee idol"
Florence Rittenhouse, Beryrs
mother, has little to do this week, ex-
cept look beautiful and harassed, both
of which she does charmingly. Howard
Schoppe, as Beryrs father. has even
less to do, but does it well. Ben Tag
CART makes gentlemanly crook. in
deed. and J. Hammond Daley becomes
not entirely Crooked Irish crook
with marked effect. Marguerite Starr
l. rounds out the group of crooks with
an effective portrayal of the essential
goodness which survives in woman
hood.

r. F. Keith's.

AS a child of vaudeville, Little Elsie"
was "topliner" some years back. Win
ming friends and admirers by excep-
der of fame and became star in mu-
steal comedy as the years sped by.
Last night. at Keiths, as Miss Elsie
janis" this same little girl made her
return to vaudeville. and her success
amounted almost to an ovation. Patrons
of the two-a-day never forget their
been forgotten.
Miss Janis went through almost her
entire repertoire to satisfy the per-
sistent applause OF the audience. and
finally rounded out her turn with an
original dance of her own creation.
Many stage people of reputation were
brought to life by Miss Janis, but none
more effectively than Eddie Foy and
George Conan. Placing them together
in one song is something new, and has
to be seen and heard to be fully ap-
preciated. Her speech of thanks in the
Irish dialect of Laurette Taylor also
was a gem.
Ralph Dunbar's Maryland Singers
were a delight to many past middle
age seated in the boxes and in the
audience. who led the applause after
every old familiar song, and coaxed
after at least a dozen curtain calls for
another.
Other entertaining numbers included
Ralph Lohse and Mana Sterling, in ath-
letic feats on the swinging rings; Cor
coran and Dingle. in songs and dances:
Raymond and Caverly, in their well
known German turn; Claud and Fan
ME Usher, in pathetic sketch; Will
Morrisey and Dolly Hackett. in bur-
lesque on the movies; Herberts won-
derful dog circus, and the Pathe pic
lures.

Cosmos,

No bill of the season has excited more
laughter and more general applause at
the Cosmos Theater than that which is
being presented this week. Outside the
big art water spectacle, 1.-The Nymphs
OF the Fountain which comprises a
series of artistic tableaus by three white
clad, graceful women on disappearing
pedestal, followed by an exhibition of
plain and fancy diving, many features of
which are new, the bill is laughmaker
from start to finish. Laughter begins
even in the unique Risley exhibition of
difficult acrobatic feats by the famous
Carroll-Gillette Trio, the opening num-
Der. and continues in the graceful song
and dance offering, with interpolated
patriotic and comedy features, of Dixie
Crane and Wilbur johnson; develops
more broadly in the comedy song offering
of Seymour and Seymour. cabaret

and North's famous sketch, 1.-The Bashful
Boob and the Maid" that was applauded
with such vigor that the players had to
beg to be excused. The added attrac-
tons are headed by the new Selig
Tribune picture news service and the big

audience. Louis Ancker, as John storm,
the heir of nobility, who renounces
title and everything that goes with it

of his little Glory and save her from
the temptations of London life. merits
much in making the performance OF

Some of the visiting ministers have
told some good stories about one an
other during the Laymen's Missionary
Movement convention here, says the
San Diego Union. This is one that
was handed" to Rev. Hugh l.. Burle-
son:
A young couple came into his rooms
just as he was going to begin service
in the church and asked him to marry
them. He said if they would wait until
after the service he would give them a
public wedding.
After the benediction he announced:
Nov, will those persons wishing to
be married please come forward 1t
is recorded in the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
call.
An offset to that story is one told by
DR.. Alonzzo r. Petty OF woman who
was before judge asking for di-
vorce. The judge leaned over the desk
and said to the woman:
Madam, how long did you know
this man before you were married."
