May Irwin, the comedienne whom the
public ever favors with enthusiastic
greeting, made her first appearance In
vaudeville in Washington at B. F. Keith's
Theater yesterday, bringing with her the
variety of amusing songs. stories and
drollery by which she has become en-
deared to the hearts OF the amusement
loving public. Miss Irwin received loud
applause from the crowded house.
Joseph Bennett and Edward Richards,
in Dark Clouds" followed Miss Irwin
with a new vaudeville feature which at
first rnisleads the audience with its dra-
matte title, but which turns out to be a
black-face comedy of q highly amusing
character.

held the audience in suspense as difficult
feats were performed in midair with
gracefulness and agility. "Fagan's De-
cision," a comedy which contains a touch
of life's pathos toward the end, played
by CIaud and Fannie Usher and Spare

forgotten, came in for a big share of the
plaudits.

There are q number of men, too, with

The story Is Of Princess Mania Derni-

and sanity, not knowing that she has
had a shining stage career as the
adored Flora Bella. The Princess re-
turns for a nights lark to the Petrograd
cafe, which had been the scene of her
success, and the Prince, seeking out his

all over again.

NEWEST BATTLER
LAUNCHED SOON

Washington, D. c., March 24.-At
this time when the public mind is
fixed on the question of the national
defense, battleship construction pos
sesses more than ordinary interest.
The forty second battleship built
for the American navy since 1892 will
take the water next month, when the
superdreadnaught New Mexico slips
from the ways at the New York navy
yard Compared to the first modern
battleship of the American navy, the
Indiana, launched in 1898, the New
Mexico will be nearly twice as long,
half again as wide and of three times
as great displacement. Against the
Indiana's four 13-inch guns and
eight 8-inch, the New Mexico will
carry twelve 14-inch and twenty two
5-inch rifles.
In addition to the great size of the
new ships main battery, the guns are
of forty-five caliber as against the
thirty-five caliber of the Indiana
Bach guns, identical with those
aboard the famous old Oregon, which
played then part in the battle Of
Santiago. With the fourteen guns Of
the New Mexico in her tur-ets, the
Oregon could have halted any one of
the fleeing Spanish ships almost
without leaving her station. The
New Mexico's guns will have range
even at the low elevation of Ameri-
can navy mountings of fifteen miles
or more against eight or nine miles
for the old thirteens.
The New Mexico will be the sixth
battleship built by the United States
in its own navy yard at New York
The others were the Connecticut, tn
dreadnaught Florida, and the super
dreadnaughts New York and Arizona

The Red Cross Benefit Will Offer
Enid Bennett in princess of
the Dark"

Enid Bennett, engaged by Thomas
H. Ince during a visit he made to New
York and proclaimed by him as a
wonderful "find," makes her first ap-
pearance as an Ince star on the Tri-
angle program in princess of the
Dark" which will be seen at the Isis
theater tomorrow as the attraction
for the Red Cross benefit.
The play tells the story of blind
girl whose wonderful imagination
makes of her forlorn surroundings a
fairyland of beauty. The eventual res
torafion of her sight means happiness
for her, though it brings tragedy to
a crippled boy whom she had believed
in her blindness to be her fairy
prince.
The play is said to be remindful in
its fairyland pictures of the noted
Ince production. Peggy" which fea-
tured Billie Burke.
