THE PASSING SHOW OF 191s.'

One of the most entertaining or
Eanlzatlons ever put out by the New
York Winter Garden is The Passing
Show of 1919" and, after witnessing
the smooth and peppery offering last
evening at Polls, the excuse for its
long stay in Chicago and other west
ern cities is understood. The strength
of the company lies in the entertaining
capabilities of the principals, the sing
ing of the entire organizatio and the
average beauty of the chorus. The
costumes shown signs of wear, which
can be expected in company that has
been away from home so long. but
this can easily be forgiven for the
continuous entertainment offered.
The buriesque of THE Jest" sensa-
tional drama that played so long in
New York. deserves particular praise
John and Lionel Barrymore are clever
~ initiated and the dialogue furnished
by Harold Atteridge is laugh provok-
Ing. James Barton and frankie Heath
are the principals in this twenty-min-
ute offering. and both displayed unu-
suai ability in broadening the little
mannerisms of the Barrymore brothers.

and many gorgeous stage effects are
shown. The music is catchy, several
of Jean SchwartZ's best efforts being
heard. Tumble In," the theme run
unusually appealing.
James Barton heads the funmake ers.
He is one of the best dancing comedi-
ans on the stage, possessing original
1ty- His appearance was the signal
Tor hilarious laughter, and at the con-
clusfon Of his dance number the enter
ta1nment was halted for several min
utes while he acknowledged a half
dozen curtain calls. Next in line as
funmakers is the Avon Comedy -Four,
singers with Joe Smith and Charles
Dale as the comedians. Lon Hascall
a character comedian, deserves spe-
cial commendation for his good work.
The women of the company are en-
titled to praise, frankie Heath,
Hazell Cox and the Four Haley Sis
ters being the leaders. Kara, con-
tortion dancer, displayed exceptional
ability in her line, and was not handi-
capped by excess of costume. Oscar
Raa1in, directing the augmented or
ckestra, contributed in no small way
to the success Of the show"

AMUSEM ENTS
THE H0TTENT0T.

"The Hottentot," starring William
Collier. who is always a prime WASH
ington favorite. appears to have lost
none of its early hold on the public
in the year and a half in which it
has been making audiences laugh.
Mr.. Golfers performance last even
ing at the New National Theater was
at it's best. so far as the limitations
of the part allowed, and no one ex-
perienced regrets at having ventu-ed
forth into the snow.
The program credits Victor Mapes
and MIR. Collier with being jointly re-
sponsible for the lines of THE Hot
tentot," which is in every sense a
farce with but one aim-to create
spontaneous laughter - something
that is done about every minute dur
ing the performance.
AS Sam Harrington. who abhors
horses and approaches them timidly.
Mr. Collier takes the center of the
stage. Sam becomes confused with
another Harrington, famous gentle
man steeplechase rider. and in order
to save himself from falling from
grace in the eyes of one Peggy Fair
fax, horse-loving sweetheart, he
undertakes to ride {ottentot in the
steeplechase, wearing her colorS. OF
course. he wins the cup and Peggy,
though it nearly finishes him.
Sharing honors with the star. Don
aid Meek, as Swift. a butler. de-
serves praise for his very creditable
piece of character acting. Indeed he
is rival of Mr.. Collier for honors
throughout the three acts of farce.
Georgia Lee Hall as Peggy gives
a performance that is altogether
pleasing, while other members of the
company comprise a capable sup
porting cast.
The climax in the last act. when
Mr.. Collier makes his entrance as the
winner of the steeplechase. affords
one of those rare bits of jollity that
make The Hottentot" a performance
that is sure guarantee against the

Thursday morning, as employees of
one of the departments were proceed

uncertainty tapping with his cane as
he haltingly felt his unseeing way

eyes upon him without any apparent
thought of helping him out of his pre-

CONGRESS HEIGHTS
GETSFAST GAME
Yankees and MayfIowers to
Stage Battle Tomorrow
Across Eastern Branch.

Two fast teams meet Sunday at
Congress Heights when the Yankees
and Mayflower mines play. The game
will be of more than usual interest
to followers of both teams, due to
the fact that wynkoop, who twirled
for the Sailors last season. will
work on the mound for Congress
Heights.
The gobs have to their credit a
SO victory over the Dreadnaughts
and expect to repeat against the
Yanks. The good record OF the
Navy team Is due to the excellent
pitching of Rice, who has five shut
out games to his credit this season.
Congress Heights has not been
defeated this season, having won
the last three starts. Goetz has re-
turned from Hagerstown. and ToIson
and Luber have left the AIl-star..
and this trio has been giving re-
markable support in the field and
at bat.

Hopping has developed into re-
markable stroke for his short time at
the rowing game, while De Wolf. at
No. 2. and Dahlgren. at No. 7. have
the marks of very high grade oars

giant OF the boat, and OF the whole
Navy rowing squad Weighing 200
pounds. and standing fve inches over
six feet in height, no other member
of the rowing contingent approaches
him in either particular. Storhecker
is not yet as powerful as his size
would indicate. but he has the frame
and the stamina and with another
year OF work should develop immense
power.

defeated the University of Penn

Steve O'Neill singled to right with
two gone in the final half. Joe Judge
backed up for Uhle's foul fly and
muffed it, giving the fans hope, but
1t was a vain hope. Uhle raised an
easy one for Brewer and the Griffs
had taken three out OF four from the
champions OF the world.
