Operations have been suspended for | the winter, but they will be resumed | again in the spring, when an effort | % $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 worth < bullion which is said to be still| at the bottom of the sea. Great difficulties have been en- countered by the salvage crew, for after three years' pounding by the Atlantic swells the liner has been transformed into a heap of twisted, debrfs. Her decks, which settled | down on the sea bottom, cover an area of several hundreds ef feet. The wreck was practically covered with gravel and silt, as it is in a position in which it receives the full force of the Atlantic gales. This obstruction had to be removed, as far as possible, by powerful pumps ! placed in position by the divers, as| the gold was at the bottom of the huge mass of wreckage.

GARRICK—The Wandering Jew.’ “The Wardering Jew,” a two-reel All-Art photoplay, was shown. last night at the Shubert-Garrick, preced. ed by a program of Hebraic music by a special orchestra and two vocal numbers, “Eli! Eli!"" and the national anthem of the Hebrews, “Hatikvah.” ‘The picture portrays the trials and sufferings, the oppressions and ostra- cism which have fallen to the ‘ot of the Jews in many parts of the world. An aged patriarch has a series of vi- sions, and then the story is picked up and centered about the life of u mod- ern Jew, Theodor Herzl, who is con- sidered the founder of ‘he Zionist movement. The picture depicts his awakening to the understanding of the cause and of the great vearning of his race. Rudolph and Joseph Shildkraut di- vide thé stellar honors in the picture, whose appeal evidently is directed to the Jewish heart. The plot finds its motive in the cause which it espouses rather than in an interesting story. Considered from the point of view of its intention, it is successful. The story is that of an oppressed people, yearning for their native land and in- dependence. All through there runs the sad strains of the Hebraic music, written largely in the minor key. A responsive audience showed its ap-| preciation. COSMOS—Merle Tolman Dancers. Merle Tolman and a corps of grace- ful interpretative dancers in terpsich- orean classics, to the vocal accom- paniment of a good baritone, an ex- cellent pianist and the house orches- tra, offer a beautiful and entertaining headline feature at the Cosmos The- ater this week. There is nothing of the sensational or spectacular in the act, but it is a fine exhibition of clas- sic dancing. A laughable companion act is presented by Johnny Jess in his own playlet, “A Family Feud, in which Mr. Jess himself offers a rare and and natural characterization of Irish | character, and his company help him present an amusing story. A novelty, Gardner's Maniac Bull- dogs, opens the bill, whi¢h also con- tains a_blackface monologue, with old songs, by Phil Davis, who works hard to please with them; a bright and amusing diversion by Walsh and Aus- tin, and a laughable team act by Cameron and Meeker, billed as “With- While They Last Xmas Tree 8-Light Sets $1.55 John C.

Even as it is, it made large audiences laugh and applaud. The gem of the bill is the matinee photoplay, featuring Maric Pfevost in “Nobody’s Fool,” a first-rur Universal picture, which is rich in love interest, thrills, comedy and scenic beauty, and has in its cast Harry Mvers, famous as the “Connecticut Yankee in King| Arthur's Court.” It is not what is or-! Qinarily called a man's picture, but will appeal to the feminine fan as one of the best of the Universal produc- tions for some time. The Interna- tional News, Mack Sennett's laugh- maker, “My Goodness,” in which Loy- ise Fazenda is seen, and an amusingi story by Cartoon Comics are added at- tractions at all performances. GAYETY—"“Twinkle Toes.” Last week Washington playgoers | saw the debut in vaudeville of one of Jean Bedini's burlesque organiza- tions and this week the same pro- ducer has another show equally good at the Gayety Theater. The re- Viewers of last week's show were fa- vorably impressed with the dancing ability of Bedini's company. This week’'s show is true to its name “Twinkle Toes." A solo dance given 1ast night by Babe Burnett would g0 well on almost any stage, and the six Stella girls, an aggregation of Rus-| slan dancers, gave two creditable | numbers, one a Dutch dance with ; picturesque Holland scenery, and the other a difficult acrobatic perform- | ance. ! The spotlight is Teserved for no par- | ticular comedian, as in some shows.| but Bert Yorke made quite a hit with original “stunts,” and Frank Byron's singing and talking specialty won rounds of applause. Joe Nelson and Gil Mack also help with comedy i;nd a\ very good singing turn. Betty Weber and Maybelle round out a capable ! cast of entertainers. The chorus, as: with all Bedini shows, contribute large measure to the success of the performance. A novel basket ball: turn by the six Stella girls was well applauded. |GLEE CLUB CARRIES OUT HIGH-CALIBER PROGRAM Eastern High Boys and Girls Share Honors in Delightful En- tertainment. i A varied and interesting dramatic m of an unusually high caliber BIG REDUCT[OI?
