OPENS AT
COSMOS
Vaudeville Numbers Forced to
Share Interest With
Fine Film.

The Cosmos bill this week is
one round of laughter after an
other, the fun feature being the
Hippodrome act, presenting Bud

The outstanding feature of the
bill, however, as stressed by the
management, is 1.-THE Tents of

and interesting story of Morocco.
1t is peopled with a fine cast and

Monte Blue outrivals- the famous
Valentino as hero of the desert.
The Bud Snyder feature in the
vaudeville program is very anus

concerned is new. 1t introduces
some familiar bicycle feats but
has a real thriller for a climax.
The Lytell Sisters and Saul have
an exquisite dancing number, with
Saul lat the piano and large
accordion filling in between the
dances. Andy and Louise Barlow
also have a very funny Bowery
character number with some fine
dancing and very laughable dia-
logue and comedy. The Follis
Sisters, dancers, have a hand
somely staged and costumed act
with comedy turn, which wins
laughter and applause. and Ed
Blandell and company furnish
more reasons for laughter with

entertaining bill all through is.
Nate Leipsig, whose wonderful
card tricks, most of them abso-

The supplemental features also
are above the ordinary and in

It's Alice Brady, though
you'd never guess it from her
modest demeanor in "Zander

receiving $4,000 a week, out
of which she must feed,
clothe and board herself and
furnish her own blank car
tridges in the comedy. But
wait a moment, after you
hear this, before you clap on
your hat impulsively and
start for the Empire Dra-

That salary is a oy-

cided to present her on the

which would not only take up
the slack in her work but
