When the curtain is rung down
on the current attraction at the
Gayety next Saturday, II will not
only signify the close of the show
but also the final performance OF
the season at the Ninth street bur-
lesque .theater. However, 'The
Sporting Widows" will leave a
favorable impression OF burlesque
as IL should be, for the opening per-
formance revealed one of the best
types of the popular two-a-day that
has been on view in Washington.
The widows jumped into favor i'm
mediately after the rise of the cur
tain yesterday afternoon. and with
the aid of Al X. Hall in the comedy
end of the affair scored a big hit.
AL X. Hall-true to his name-in-
toxicates the auditors with laugh

Simon. jr., he scored as big a hit
as any other comedian that has
played at the Ninth street theater.
He sings and dances and in fact
does everything that amuses a good
burlesque audience. He is ably as
sisted by Bob Startman.
The supporting cast is very well
balanced. George Weist has pep,
ability and personality enough to
share in the first honors. George
sang several songs and read his
lines effectively. His Hits of Long

the best of his song numbers. June
