YOU SEE THEM EVERYWHERE
100000 In a Year

Only recently, we completed our
first year of exclusive taxicab service
at the Union Station. If we may in
dulge in word of self-praise-it was
the most successful service ever rem
dered at this great terminal.
In all, we served in the neighborhood
of 40O,0O0 calls>f taxis. Say it quick
ly, and perhaps that figure won't mean
much for years business-but pom
der over it a minute and think of dis
patching four hundred thousand Black
and White Taxicabs from the Union
Station alone, which is only one Of the
fifty stands we have about the city.
It's record to be proud of-but as
we have said before-we are not rest
ing on our laurels, and we hope to
serve double the number at the Union
Station in our second year.

"Scandal.'' y

Scandal" the Cosmo Hamilton
play, in which indiscretion Is culti-
waited to the nth degree, is entertain
ing goodly audiences at the Presi-
dent Theater this week.
The play is described as farce
comedy at its best" The author evil
IDENTIFY did his level best to sire a
naughty production. The farce, how
ever, fails of it's purpose. though no
doubt providing the maximum In
thrills to that portion OF the audience
whose ideas are still, let us say, In
the frivolous, uncultured state.
The play deals with the entangle-
caught by her family in the act of
visiting Il bachelor studio occupied
by a bohemian painter Of note, calm
ly, though falsely, announces that she
is there for the purpose,of visiting her
secretly married husband. who, incl
dentally, is the choice of the entire
family. The husband" when ap-
prised of the situation, starts on his
mission of revenge, which ultimately
leads to a declaration of undyinE af-
fection on the part of each for the
other, and subsequent marriage, fol-
lowing a mock honeymoon.
The splendid efforts and vivacity OF
Peggy Coudray, the wife" ably aid
ed by Wilfred Lytell. who gives a
rather remark able portrayal of q
chagrined husband" give to the pro-
duction the success it scores. Lack OF
preparation, no doubt caused by the
brevity of time in which to rehearse
the production, was evident at times.

scribed by an enthusiastic press
agent as ''sheik OF the spirits, chalif
of necromancy, wizard of illusion and
headmaster of the crosscut saw" Is
in reality q whole show in himself.
OF course, his main bid for fame is
the stunt wherein he apparently sew
ers a young woman into two parts
and then makes both ends meet, all
this being done in full view OF a
mystified audience and closely in
spected by two men from the or
chestra seats. In addition to this
clever act Goldin does good work as
el feature in what he describes "ra-
dio film m-telepathy.''
George Niblo and Helen Spencer,
who have been together for a num-
ber of years, head the cast of "Step
On It" Helen Spencer is still the
graceful dancer of yore and can give
many soubrette lessons In spirit and

comedy of the show and Is assisted by
Marty Semon, who appears in the
funniest get-up of his career Others
in the cast are Adele Ferguson, prima
! donna; Juanita Mitchell, ingenue,
the California trio, composed of Harry
Bart, Ben Josh and Jim Hall.
The chorus Is large and comely,
full of life and numbers among its
members two who with little en-
couragement and training could cas-
lily step down stage and do solo turns.

Jane Cowl in Antony and
Cleopatra"

Had Shakespeare seen his Antony
and Cleopatra" as played by Jane
Cowl and the talented group of actors
supporting her at the Shubert Belasco
Theater last night he might have
been rs enthralled as the huge au-
dience which welcomed this remark
able production to Washington. The
acting, the reading of the lines, the
costuming, the scenic effect, all COM
bined to make it a picture such as
has rarely been presented on the
legitimate stage. In its gorgeousness,
the completeness of every detail, it is
wonderful, but all this is enhanced
by the sound of human voices, pas
sionate, loving, scheming, playful,
running whole gamut of express
sion.
Egypt's radiant queen, and Mark An
tony, who, with Caesar, divided the
power of the world, offers n power
ful theme. As Shakespeare told it
I and as it was pictured last night, the
story is as vivid as it might have
been 1000 years ago, when the Cleo
patra and Antony, Octavia, Caesar
and Pompey themselves played the
parts in life.
Great stories as they are, so wide
ly known, the plays of Shakespeare
100 often today are heard with the
mitld and not the heart. But the An
tony and Cleopa ira" of Jane Cowl and
her company thrills as well as inter
ests In a measure it may be called
forerunner of the greater problem
plays of latter days, in which the hui
man triangle, love, jealousy and am
bition, honor and forgetfulness o1
honor have been dramatized. No sucf
problem has yet been worked to &
conclusion other than dishonor, dis
trust and death. And SO with AN
tony and Cleopatra"
Miss CowfS Cleopatra, compelling
and alluring as it is, finds in the
Antony of Rollo Peters fitting coun-
terpart, and Vernon Kelso as Caesar
Louis Hector as EnobarbuS, George
Carter as SeXtus Ponfpeius. and many
Aothers go far to make the produc-
tion what it is, a magnificent gem
Miss Cowl's voice, low and rich, low
ing, passionate, raging, teasing il
turn, has it's strong appeal. Her love
her rage, her pride are living, glow
ing things. Mr.. Peters reading o1
his lines is no less successful thar

Jazzmania can be rough and II
also can be refined. II Will please
or not. according TO the taste. Ihe
Cosmos Theater this week. with Ray
mond's Bohemians and the Gordon
Sisters. a clever team Of dainty girls,
is presenting an act that will find
many admirers. The girls dance
pleaslngly and the Bohemians pre-
sent a quartet of jazz instrumen-
, talists who run rather to the refined
,, sort of jazz. They are also a ver-
sati1e vocal quartet The large au-
dience yesterday seemed to enjoy
: the act, which is prettily staged, and
it was generously applauded.
Lawton, the, juggler, is one Of the
cleverest workers in his line that
has come to Washington. His new
and difficult feats are accomplish ed
with light comedy talk which gets
into the high comedy stage and
sometimes gets over the heads Of the
general audience, but his act was
heartily applauded at yesterdays
performances.
+ Florence Hobson. a girl of person
ality, showmanship and unusually
clever. presents under the title
"Mirth and Melody" some clever new
songs. takingfy sung and accom-
panied by herself at times. Carl
Shaw and company are notable for
Carl himself principally. He Is a
delicate type of whiFlwind eccentric
batic eccentricity. The company
wins applause for it's mouth organ
playing.
Joe Wilton, with Ross and COM
pany, has new and amusing sketch,
in 'rMr. and Mrs. Anyone" with a
climax that brings a roar of laugh
! ter Keller Mack and Anna Earl
, with "A Letter of Introduction,", en-
tertain with songs and amusing
comedy.
The photoplay Is Lenore Uric, s
melodramatic romance of the Cana
dian woods, Tiger Rose a most in
teresting and attractive photopIay
executed by the Warner brothers
under the supervision of David
, Belasco. 1t is supplemented with
