freshing.
Homer Dickson and Oracle Dickson,
the girl with the lisp. provide quaint
humor, and their songs and chatter
called for added verses.
The Volunteers, a quartet which
introduces itself with plenty OF COM
edy, sang their numbers with deep
resonancy.
The Hearst-Pathe news pictorial

so controlled that It will be almost an
impossibility for any OF them to get

Much information which Is with

the President before the proclamation
was issued. Neutral nations have
been asserting that they were keep

States from getting to Germany. The
contrary was true. Complete and
positive proof to this effect was
placed in the Presidents hands. The
result was last nights supplementary

none to Germany.
The export licensing board has
taken care that neutral nations have
been fully informed that all exports
are to be watched to their destination.
Amy lack OF precaution to keep such
goods from the hands of the Germans
will have an evil effect on application
by such neutrSls for further licenses.
In this manner the United States has
a "big stick" which must add to the
troubles OF the central powers and in
this way contribute to the earlier end

En- route for New York for what
promises to be an extended stay, THE
Country Cousin" stopped over in the
Capital for q weeks visit and last
night was given an enthusiastic well
come by. a large audience at the Ma
tional Theater.
During It's travels THE Country
Cousin" probably will meet some per-
sons who will not thoroughly approve,
but IL there were any OF that sort in
the National audience they formed so
small a minority they were over
looked. In fact. the reception accord
ed this new play by Booth Harrington
and Julian Street was so cordial that
It amounted almost to a demonstra-
ton and after the third curtain the
applause was so insistent that Miss
Carlisle had to make q little speech of
acknowledgement.
THE Country Cousin" was heralded
as an American play OF the present In
which the authors attempt to contrast
certain types Of middle West and New
York life.
Alexandra Carlisle, q distinguished
English actress, who is no stranger
in Washington, is seen in the title
character. Her portrayal OF the
charming, keen-witted, unspoiled girl
OF the middle West is sharply con-
trasted by the rather disagreeable
character Of a certain smart set Of
the effete East as pictured by the au-
thors.
The story opens in an Ohio home. A
young girl who has livedwith her moth

father for the first time. The mother,
fearing she will want to go East with
him, sends for cousin Kate" to ad-
wise her. Unble to resist the lure of
broader" life in the city the girl
goes with her father and his second
wife, who lose no time in beginning
to squander the fortune left her by
her uncle.
Seeming danger and true to her
promise, cousin Kate" goes to save
the girl from the unwholesome envir-
onment OF the fast set in which she is
thrown. How this Is accomplished
and how at the same time she makes
a real man out OF q conceited young

an impelling interest
In her role of "CousIn Kate" Miss

dialect, OF the part were there and
the audience showed its appreciation

where the william Fox photo-spee-
tacle, Jack and the Beanstalk," Is
being shown this week, and be con
WINGED. There they are all faithfully
portrayed by the camera. and the
nursery story, amplihed by the
touches of the scenario writer, lives
again In all its original charm and
fascination.
The fairy story itself Is preceded by
q prologue which serves to intro
duce a modern Jack and his little
neiEhbor, Virginia who for the hrst
time hear the wonderful story Of the
little boy who sold his mothers COW
for a handful of beautiful beans. Un-
noticed, they slip away to md for
themselves the Enchanted Forest, and
hours later, weary with searching
fall asleep in each others arms. Then,
according to the program, the Dream
God waves his magic, wand and one
becomes the Jack of Beanstalk fame
and the other the Princess Regina.
Then begin the marvellous adVen-
lures of Jack and his search for the
giant, true to the original story, save
only for the aforementioned amplifi-
cation which, were IL not treason to
utter such sentiments, really adds
more interest to the story. These
latter include the introduction of the
LiIliputian city OF Cornwall, whose
tiny inhabitants are in constant fear
OF their lives from the depredations
OF the ruthless giant, Blunderbore.
Jack arrives, and, charmed by the
melting glances OF the beautiful
Princess Regina, promises to 90 forth
and slay their oppressor. And he
does, but not before the giant, him
self, has almost destroyed the little
city, whose inhabitants, headed by the
brave Jack, in turn attack him.in his
castle and rescue the Princess, who
has become his captive.
The work of Francis Carpenter and
Virginia Lee Corbin In the principal
parts Is really marvellous. for they
appear but little more than babies.
Yet they manage to express all the
emotions, with a slight degree OF eX-
aggeration that frequently adds q
delicious vein OF humor to the picture,
in a most remarkable fashion. With
the exception OF the Giant Blunder-
bore, q "sure-enough giant" from all
appearances, and one or two others,
the cast is entirely q Juvenile one.
Clever subtitles, introduced at appro-
PIRATE intervals, do much to preserve
the charm of the original narrative.
Jack and the Beanstalk" IL by no
means picture to be shown only to
children. It is the sort OF picture that
will make an equal appeal to grown
ups" who have not forgotten child
hood and its harmless fancies.
