to which their manager, Mr.. Gerard,
attributes their popularity along the
Columbia Burlesque circuit last sea-
son.
Watson and Cohen, arectionately
known as the "Siamese Twins" Of
burlesque, are united again this sea-
son. Previous to last season they had
been separated for three years, dur
ing which time each comedian was on
the vaudeville stage. The first thing
they agreed to upon their. reunion was
! abolishing of "slapstick' comedy and
campaign among burlesque enter
tainers to make it q minus quantity
hereafter 1t took a lot of hard work
the comedians agree, to produce what
they claim is the funniest book they
have ever written. 1t Is the vehicle
which serves to exploit the ability of
large cast that Mr.. Gerard has given
his show this season. Wearing no
clown" makeup, the two comedians
are able in this sketch to put over a
brand of comedy that promises to
make a greater hit this year than
last.
Watson and Cohen havo been on the
Stage twelve years. They made their
debut together in amateur theatricsls

"Romco and Jane,"
A New Comedy.

The latest comedy produced by John
Golden will be presented at the Ma
'tional Theater tomorrow night. This
is "Romeo and Jane" by Edward
Childs Carpenter. author of numerous
successes. including The Dragon
Fly" "The Cinderella Man." THE
Pipes Of Pan" etc.
BY giving the premiere of "Romeo
and Jane" in Washington, Mr.. Golden
is adheriny to a precedent which has
led him TO fame and fortune with his
three other record-breaking success
es, Turn to the Right" ''Three Wise
Fools and "Lightnin'."
Perhaps the title OF Romeo and
lane" tells as much about the nature
of the play as any title could. 1t is
Il love story. a comedy, a blend Of
romance and undilutedS American
humor. There will be a number Of
surprises in the development of the
play. For Washingtonians perhaps
the first sensation of novelty will be
to find that the stow is laid in Wash
ington. 1t all happens in DR.. Ken
yon's garden, but it is only fair to
admit that more excitement and ro-
nance bloom In this garden than most
gardens can be expected to provide.
The cast includes Maude Hannaford,
CASTOR Glass. Hilda Spong. A. g. An
drews, Florence Fair, w. H. Post.
Helen Stewart, Bertram Marburgh,
Andrew Frankly, Walter Ducart and
