From the boys in the gallery, who
offered many suggestions, to the bald
headed man in the front row of the
orchestra, Thurston's magic at Polls
Theater this week is just as mystify-
ing and just as entertaining as ever.
An audience which literally packed the
theater last night greeted the great
magician and applauded his old tricks
together with numerous new ones.
The performance opens with playing
card manipulation, and the old ia
miliar sleight Of hand maneuvers of
picking cards out of the air, from the
mouth Of an assistant and from the
pockets, sleeves and back Of a volun-
teer from the audience. Large glass
bowls of water and with .goldnsh
silently swimming about are brought
to view from beneath a shroud, with
the mystirying transformation of a
ROSTERS head to that of a duck and
the ducks head to the body of the
rooster
The deviation Of Princess kar-
mac" and the invisible flight OF
young girl from an hon cage into a
glass tank of water are others OF the
numerous entertaining features pro-
vided to amuse and keep you guess
ing.
Juvenile Washington at least thor
oughIy enjoyed the show, and mani
tested a strong desire to get into 1t
in one way or another.

Burton Holmes entertained an over

last night with an illustrated descrip-
ton of 1.-THE Yanks in France" An
opening thrill told the marvellous
slory of an old French windmill by
means of forerunning soldiers of Eu-
ropean nations, who materiaized and
vanished to make room for the Amer
lean Army. And, still in the whirring
sound of the ancient mill, the work
they constructed, were shown in the
city of colossal warehouses created
Tor the American service of supplies.
The graphic detail of the engineering
marvels included in it's panoramic eff
fects colored Yanlls at work, together
with many agile and inscrutably
bland Chinese.
Glimpses of a cathedral town some-
where in France. the British Waacs
at work for Uncle Sam and women
sewing in the biggest repair shop N
the world were a few of the realistic
conceptionS given of the mighty share
taken by the United States in the
winning of the war.
FIGURING Touraine showed scenic
beauties Of the Loire chateaux. and.
after many other views. picturing the
Yanks at work and play in France,

applause "a panorama of the most ex-

the first of series of programs by
the Washington Fine Arts Enter
prises, at the Belasco Theater yester-
day afternoon, gave promise of a well
come addition to capital musical en-
tertainment.
The Isadora Duncan Dancers and
George Copeland, pianist, were the at
fractions. Five youthful, graceful and
pretty dancers interpreted musical
Chopin to the tuneful waltzes OF
Schubert. Mr.. Copeland was heard in
several brilliant renditions which
elicted marked enthusiasm.
After Mr.. Copeland had played the
first movement from MacDowellS $50
in numbers from Gluck's "Iphigenie
in Aulis." Then followed one of the
most enjoyable portions of the pro-
gram. a series of solo dances, all to
Chopin music, among which the
"Mazurka, No. "a" by Theresa Ono

gram) and the "Etude. No. 81" by

Mr.. Copeland's playing shows mas
terry of technique and keen appre-
citation for the poetic and dramatic
passages of his selections. Among
them were Bach's "Bouree." Scarlattfs
"Pastorale," Mendelsshon's 'Scherzo."
Debussy's Reflects Dams rEau" and

of modern warfare that lend them

scenes in which he combats the per-
picking problems confronted by the
awkward squad and those in the dug
out on the firing line. not to mention
the consummation Of an inspired
scheme for the capture of the Ger
man high command, are gems Of en-
joyable comedy.

1t was nearly 10 o'clock before the
curtain went up ~on the first scene
and after midnight when the nnai
curtain fell. This, it was explained.
was due to another entertainment
which occupied the stage up to 6
o'clock. and much time was required
to prepare the heavy settings for
sons, apparently, why the opening
performance of the latter should have
been deferred until tonight.
After the curtain " ent up. however,
there we're no further delays and the
audience seemed to enjoy the pay.
Mr.. Post appears in the in -errreta-
ton of the dual role of Sir John
Chi.cote. member of parliament, and
John Loder, a penny-a-liner. Added
interest Is given the play by bringing
it up to date, the revised text re-
ferring to the European war.

masterful in their way, and Miss

trayal of the wife of Sir John. Abused

tains throughout a dignity and pa
thence which wins the love of the
masquerader. 1t is his love for the
woman that prompts Loder to con-
tinue in the shoes of Sir John after
the latter's death from drugs.
Adele Richie, the evil spirit of Sir
John; Lionel Belmore, as Brock, his
faithful servant; Clarence Handyside,
as parliamentary leader. and Regi-
nald Darlington, as publisher, also
adequately play important parts.
