Attractions at Caphars P1ayhouses This Week

Like an old friend THE Country
Cousin came back to the scene Of its
premiere last night and was well
coined by an audience that filled the
National to overlooking.
The theatersoer is fortunate to
have in his service such an author as
Booth Harrington and such splendid
delineators of his character as Miss
Carlisle. Mr.. GalIaher. and Mr.. Lunt.
They together made Centerville. Ohio.
Cor was it Iowa) and the New York
shore resort places as real as though
Rand & McNaIly had put them on the
map.
The basic theme OF the play is not
a clash of the rural type of character
against the city type as some would
have il. but it is a clash OF one ideal
of life against another. The purer
and more wholesome OF the ideals
has for its protagonist The Lady
From Ohio" who goes East to make
sure that no harm falls to her little
friend, who has been induced to live
with her weak and more or less
profiigate father. who was divorced
before she reached her teens.
Under Miss Alexandra Carlisle's treat
ment this character is made to repre-
sent the highest type of American
womanhood as found in city and coun-
try alike. Miss Carlisle gives the
character no geographical limitations
she makes Nancy alarmingly frank
clever, simple. and firm in her adher-
ence to the highest ideals OF gentility
and social conduct. Against her by
way OF contrast is set the fast set"
which dominates the father OF the
utrl Nrhnny gha ia self Cd
guardian.
Nancy makes no effort to use force
to induce the girl to return to her
mother. She let's the problem work
itself outlets the life of her father
and his friends have its natural ef-
feet on a child brought up as Eleanor
Hewitt was. Nancy simply stands
aside and sees that each issue as it
arises is made clear. and il necessary
vivified for the benefit of Eleanor.
There are many elements of the
most potent appeal in the play. The
sight of a clean-cut young woman
from the country, frankly without
sOphistication. taking a rise" out
OF a metropolitan cad" the beautl-
full domestic scenes 1.-THE first act,
are episodes of universal appeal.
Miss Carlisle was continuously
charming in the title role, and her
recalls were limited solely by the
physical endurance of her auditors.
The boy character which Harrington
draws so skillfully was played by
Mr.. Gallaher with a truthfullness and
sincerity that led one to believe it
was a real boy that was speaking.
and Mr.. Lunt, who was introduced as
a cad but was converted into a real
man, was convinctingly truthfulin his
picture. The rest OF the cast served
each their part to complete a most
entertaining evening.

4 new figure was placed upon
the screen at Moore's Sunday and
yesterday, when the feature OF the
photoplay bill was 1.-THE Gun Won
an" with Texas Guinan starred. The
gun woman" conducts a dance hall
gambling house.
In the end she shoots the man she
loved because he hadn't played
square, but she also refused to marry
the man who loved her because "heT
heart was back there" There was
anguish in the "Tigress' soul, and
Texas Guinan registered the poignant
emotion OF a bitterly disappointed
woman. There are many picturesque
scenes of pastiming in the dance hall
and THE Gun Woman" must be set
down as a remarkably fine photoplay
OF its kind.
The program was completed by a
Butler Bust-Cp." comedy. On We'd
nesday and Thursday the chief at
traction will be THE Blind Adven-
ture." in which Edward Earle and
BETTY Howe are screened in the lead

TO repeat wherever It goes.
Ed Wynne bears the burden OF
comedy in his usual clever manner.
Wynne's humor is refreshing. His
jokes are new, his mannerisms are
free from conventional stage tricks.
He improves with each year.
The song hit of the show IS rem
dered by Craig Campbell. the Scotch
tenor. "Galatea" is a beautiful melody
and serves to show Campbell's voice
at its best. The only regret of the
performance is that there is no other
song commensurate with Craig Camp
BELLS artistry.
Justine Johnstone Is not merely
beautiful. The production serves to
give her an opportunity TO show her
ability as an actress with rich
speaking voice not unlike that OF FL
sic FergusoN. Her singing voice
serves well in the few musical num-
bers she appears in. Her dancing is
perfection. And Justine Johnstone's
gowns defy description.
The closing scene in the first act is
effective, and gives the show It's
name. The air attack by Uncle

trenches, which eliminates in
charge OF the "army" which surEeS

Brief Illustration Of the Success Of San
FTaneiseo's Street Railway

This is written for those gentlemen "sot IN their
ways that they dispose of municipal ownership of the street
railways of the District of Columbia by waving their hands
and saying: at can't be done"
Just why you can't street railway and pay divi
dends in SERVICE is not clear to me.
For instance just at the time the United States Govern
ment took the control of the railways of the country San
Francisco completed its 81 100000 Twin Peaks tunnel 1900
feet long, the biggest city tunnel earth. 1t
panson of its municipal street railway system pledge o.
faith by the people of the city in the system Of municipality
owned railways.
San Francisco did not say municipal ownership is
DREAM Instead that city threw out privately owned street
railways and here of the results:
The forty-fve miles of municipal railway have
cost aggregate of about 100000 including
purchase and extensions
Gross revenues from January 81 1912, to the
present time have amounted to 81 So, 340
Total disbursements, including interest on out
standing bonds, during that period were $5685112
During the fiscal year of 1867 the municipal
lines carried Sc 243,723 passengers.
Net income from operation in the past year,
after deducting depreciation, taxes, and charter
charges was $104,336.
And the total passenger revenue for the year
was 81 ,470193
And likely that San Francisco will not have to Taa until
railway president forced to get enough to carry ta
passengers.
