16 4 ' 2 'THE EVEN'IN(; s'rm,; wgsmeion, . 4 ements . — B. F. KEITH'S—Emma Carus. - The vivacious Emma Carus occupies the headline position at Keith's this week. She is one of the biggest favorites in vaudeville and brings with her new songs, & feature of her act always, which she puts over the footlights in an inimitable way. “It's a Great Life if You Don't Weaken scored the biggest hit, as Miss Carus, between verses, did a ludicrous dance that is a scream. She has drifted back to her old weight of about 180. and in_closing her act does a dance with Walter Leopold, in which she demonstrates that she can be graceful as well as funny. The applause that followed was so insistent that Miss Carus had to respond with a speech. Harry Kahne, billed as “The Incom- parable Mentalist,” gives a remark- able exhibition of writing backwards and of doing five different things at one time, reading, writing, spelling, talking and adding & column of ‘fig- ures. It is quite an achievement, and Mr. Kahne was almost exhausted at its conclusion. ‘Wellington Cross, the well known musical comedy star, offers some- thing new in the way of burlesquing a dramatic sketch, and has the stage hands present him with large stands of artificlal flowers at the end. The idea is funny and seems to 'offer possibilities. The El Rey Sisters have a showy skating act, in handsome costumes; Richard Kean is very good in seenes from famous players; Jean Granese, assisted by her brother, in take-off of a vaudeville sensation seen in Washington recently, a young girl apparently sawed in two in full’ view of the audience, is only-one of the teatures. Cliff Bragdon is the chief comedian and he kept last night's au- dience in almost continuous laughter vith his funny giggle and his ability | ‘o take falls and rough treatment at veloping into a clever Hebrew come- dian. Frank Mallahan and Harold Carr round out the male cast and!' make the most of the lines intrusted to them. Helen Tarr is a most ac- ceptable prima donna with a Juno- esque figure and a good voice, and; Loretta Ahearn, the soubrette, is a; clever songstress and dancer. Norma Barry is the same tireless worker of former years and her efforts were well received. The chorus is young and full of ginger and with plenty of singing and dancing ability. e RECALLED FROM JAPAN. Maj. Willlam J. Davis, infantry, as- sistant military attache at the United || States embassy, Tokio, Japan, has been ordered to San Francisco and; await further orders. COL. HUGGINS ASSIGNED. Lieut. Col. John B.

Va. tions, and the Joannys entertain with | a unique shadowgraph act. that causes much laughter. I Fables, Topics of the Day and Pathe Aesop's l - pictures complete the bill. l COSMOS—Great Vaudeville. ' The Cosmos Theater, this week, is offering one of the best and most ar- tistlc as well as_most delich {1 Vills of its career. The headliners—and !} there are at least four that would |} grace any bill—are put to their best to ||} share the honors of applause nnd‘ laughter won by what are considered (| ordinarily the lessar acts. | - The Margy Duo opens with a won- | || derful exhibition of what might be ||} called acrobatic equilibrism, in which the man of the team fairly thrills the audience with his dangerous and dif- || ficult feats. Green and Burnett, open- ing with a traversty of the famous,f| old duet from “Trovatore,” “Ah, I have | Sighed to Rest Me,” except that the words refer to quitting a job today, start the audience with laughter that simply increases to roars as the mem- bers of the team pass on to “a lazy| | old-time breakdown” and an inimi-| table imaginary game of craps. Only || the lowering of the curtain put an end to the laughter and applause. Edith Helena, the famous prima| donna of the old Aborn Opera Com-‘ pany. is a brilliant feature of the bill in a repertoire of selections for which ! she was famous in _bygone days, in- cluding Tosti’'s “Good-bye to Summer.” i “Comin' Thro’ the Rye" and operatic' numbers, all sung as delightfully as ! - she ever sang them and to an ova- tion of applause. Bobby Jarvis and his Cinderella Girls azain start the laughter and keep it going with their ludicrous farce, *“The Bootery. or the Man Hunters,” until the celebrated Texas Comedy Four comes on with its all new songs, including “The Memphis Blues.,” “The Rheumatiz” and “Little Willie's Passed Away,” all Announcing the Appn;intment Mr. A.
