THE GRILL" IS GREAT
AT COSMOS THIS WEEK

Two big headliners, two striking
novelties and a supplementary bill OF
fine musical and comic features make
Il merry entertainment at the cosmos
for Christmas week. The most I'M
portant act, perhaps is THE GRILL a
melodramatic playlet by DIR. George
Woodruff Johnston OF this city who
has eliminated the original murder
in the dark. without destroying the
thrill suspense and interest in the
clever effort OF a district attorney to
secure the last link in the chain or
evidence needed TO convict dishonest
city grafters.
"The Luck of the Totem" the other
headliner, is a romance or Alaska
melodramatiC in character. pretliy
staged and accurately costumed, with
the real dramatic thrill for climax.
The two novelties are knights
Boosters, an amusing and interesting
exhibition of a large flock Of trained
roosters, and Harry and Sophie, as
the funniest representatives of Adam
and Eve known to theatricals. Null
cahey and Buckley, a fine singer and
an excellent pianist, furnish a high
class musical interiude. and Francis,
Clark and Brown. in "Waiters
Wanted" very amusing sketch, full
OF new slang, and the famous Camille
trio, one of the funniest horizontal
bar acts seen in vaudeville, complete
the bill.
The extraordinary matinee feature,
which, by the way, will not be shown
at the Saturday matinee, is Marion
Davies magnificent picture. The
Restless Sex" one OF the best pic
lures Of the year. "Mr. Fatima,"
Christie commedy: the international
News picture and a laughable cartoon
comedy, shown at all performances,
completp the bill
