1T was the proud privilege Of the
Poll Stock Company alone to sup
ply the demand for the legitimate
IL drama the past week, both the
leading theaters having given
themselves over unreservedly TO mo-
steal productions. AS THE House OF
Thousand Candles had already sea-
soned stock history in Washington, the
supply was scarcely adequate II the
demand was of normal proportions. Yet
withal theater-goers seemed to make
the most of the situation and strove
nv a plunge into the revelries of the
Winter Garden and the more merito-
rious if less pretentious comic opera
to still their yearning for the legiti-
mate at least for the time being.
II was the excellent contribution OF
Carl woess, a new composer. that put
..rbe Masked Model" upon a plane be-
yond the ordinary, with dreamy
waltzes. graceful solo numbers and
stirring ensembles, which, with de-
ugbtful orchestration, left but little
desire to enter into the merits OF the
rlots and counterplots of the mex
raustible Smith brothers and others
who may have contributed.
"a World of Pleasure" was what 1t
r.sirorted to be, Winter Garden rev.

ed weight of the costumes furnished
pictures for the eye while the come

There were any mourners for the miss

of their grief.
Six years of successful management
will be celebrated at the Cosmos Thea
ter this week with feature bill and
other fractions in the way of popu-
lar vaudeville. The little theater in its
brief career has established a reputa-
ton for clean and wholesome enter
tainment and numbers among its many
patrons hundreds who can well afford
a costlier recreation. This of itself is
a tribute both to its bills and to the
careful supervision of the house and
