This merry and bright burlesTve,
presented under the title Of the
'tMasqueraders.' Is built solely to
amuse the public, and from the
laughs that greeted the company last
night the audience was well satisfied.
The entire company showed to great
advantage, the leading characters and
comedians ranking well up with any
top notchers that Washington bur-
lesque patrons have witnessed. y
well drilled chorus gave plenty OF
pep TO the musical numbers. These
sood-looking chorus damsels hold the
limelight throughout most OF the en-
tertainment, and all credit Is due
their dancing and music.
The costumes were all new and up
to-date, with Just enough changes to
dazzle the eye with a riot OF colors,
combined with electrical effects.
Miss Kohler, as the prima donna,
has a pleasing voice Of good range,
which she uses to advantage. Miss
Kohler was compelled to work over
time in her various songs, and when
she rendered Baby Prayers at Twr-

Miss Florence Pointer, the SOU
brette, has a pleasant poise. and her
musical numbers and dances met with
prompt approval. As the Red Cross
nurse, she made one of the hits of
the evening. Ethel Shepard. termed
as "just from Heaven" danced her
self into favor.
Scotty Fridell and Jim Pearl were
funny in the first part of the bur-

Harry Harvey furnished the COM

duced many laughs with his slap

while Harvey as the Hebrew In a
