Cosmos-VaudeyiIIe.

Two acts of the Cosmos bill this
week show real artistry and are well
above the level OF popular vaude-
Vile. One is the charming little musi-
cal sketch, "A Bit o. Barney" pre-
sented by Barry Mack, the Irish
singing comedian. and his company
which embraces three genuine colleens
who dance an Irish Jig with the grace
and skill OF the native, and a genuine
Irish piper with the pipes o. Erin.
The other is an exhibition of grace
full toe and fancy dancing by STAFF
ford and Ivy, with an Indian climax
that Is not only original but beauti-
full and interesting as well. Both are
presented with special music and
scenery. The bill opens with a fine
athletic and balancing act by the AIlo
Troupe. Conners and Foley have an
offering Of songs and clever eccentric
and character dances. Dinkins, Barr
and Everett make laughter and ap-
plause with their two-thirds black
face singing sketch that has some
thing to do with a livery stable. Kute
and Klever, two misses OF tender
years but mature accomplishments
sing and play the piano to much
applause and Monty Fox and Eddie
Gross complete the bill with singing
and a part character sketch.

George V. Hobart's Experience" I"
the modern morality play, which has
been the sensation of the theatrical
world for three seasons, will play a
return engagement at the Belasco
Theater next week. Despite the fact
that this play remained here for two
weeks last season playing to capacity
houses, the advance sale for the COM

business.

entire gamut of human emotions,
from the roseate dreams of youth
down through pleasure, disillusion
and despair. and finally concluding

NatIonaIEasThe Country Cou.in.y

Nationai-"The Country Cousin
The Country Cousin" came to
town and received a hearty reception
at the National Theater last even
ing, ascribable in part to the con-
sistent development of an engaging
character as the heroine of a chain
OF interesting episodes and the ad-
mirable performance of Alexandra
Carlisle in the title role Of the COM
edy.
Plays Of American life must nat
urally more and more prevail and
none is more entertaining than the
play of simple phases-the one that
shows the adventures OF plain,
wholesome and courageous people in
contrast with certain other types
dwellers In the city-afrected, super
fetal, insincere, the wasters of So
ciety.
Alexandra Carlisle's portrayal of
''The Country Cousin" who knows
all that glitters is not gold, Is u fine
piece of playing. the kind of acting
that battles hurried analysis, and her
delightful curtain speech at the close
of the third act last night, after she
had received half a dozen curtain
calls, revealed this English actress in
yet announcer llSnI.
She saved from ruin the small-town
girl enamored OF life in the fast city
set and also a conceited young man
from his misleading environment.
Eugene O'Brien does the best work
of his notable career as this George
Tewksberry Reynolds, Sd, the affect
ed young New Yorker. He conveyed
very clearly, yet subtly. how this at
a.
was bringing out his innate manhood
and causing the foppish veneer Of po-
lite society to drop away from him.
Marion Coakley was the girl seek
ing adventure In the fast set-a part
which at times resembles that of the
daughter in "The Rainbow" and
effective as her country boy lover.
Arthur Forrest and Grace Elliston
gave admirable performances of the
rotten society vampires, who use this
young girls love for her father to Sc
cure her fortune in order that they
may live a life Of ease and pleasure.
Louise Prussing and several other
members of the company assisted in
presenting what was: on the whole
an effective picture OF life among a
certain set of New Yorkers.
The settings of the play, particu-
larly, the interior used for the las,
two acts. are noticeably fine and ar.
tistic. There has been, too. an intel
ligence and attention to detail dis
played in the staging which is evil
dent throughout the action of the
comedy.
Messrs. Booth Harrington and Ju-
lian Street have not fashioned a
great play. of course, but the cor
dial disposition displayed by las:
nights distinguished audience. which
included the President and Mrs. Will
son, would seem to indicate a Ions
run in the great Metropolis, to which
the play goes from here.

Contrary to the ac- cepted version of the episode which describes Ferdisand as insisting that the program be carried out, despite the urgent advice of members of his party in opposition of the plan, the heir to the throne is now quoted as having asked:
 What shall we do now? Shall we continue to permit ourselves to be shot dead?"
 General Potiorek is said to have pro- posed either that the city should be punished by the cancellation of the program or that the streets be cleared aud the ceremonies carried out as ar ranged To the latter proposal. the Archduke, after brief reflection, is said to have replied:
