Richard Talmadge, the ncw screen ar, in his- first starring ploture, 'he Unknown,” which is shown in Washington for the first time, is & strong rival for the honors at the Cosmos Theater this week, where an excellent bill is being offered. The theme of the picture, “war upon the food profiteers,” is interestingly un- iolded, but it is the remarkable ac- robatic feats performed by Tal- madge, who seems to surpass all predecessors in his wonderful ac- complishments, that make the pic- ture notable and single out the handsome young star for blgger honors later on in the screen world. The vaudeville headliner, ‘*The Mglody Revue,” is a breezy presenta- tion of original songs and unique dancing features, with the aid of the Golden Gate Five, a jazz orchestra that personifies syncopation. Nan Deickert is the prima donna and premier danseuse, and Atkinson and Mack, a team of unusually clever dancers, who furnish the solo work. At least three other acts share honors with the headliner. Rose Seldon and brother, in the finest offering of unique ' hand and head balancing, with hoop juggling, at the Cosmos this season; “On_the Alsle, THE EVENINC AMUSEMENTS (Continued from Fourteenth Page.) pudiated by the man she feels she adores. The third act finds her re- turning with a h wringing ap- peal to be taken back, the man's s9- lution of love as tenderness, and her departure with an aching heart, while on her lips she is trying to warble a song of other days and his head is bowed and his body shaken with sobs, It s a rather sad and unsatisfactory solution of the problem that confronted ® pair. The cast is a long and excellent one, with H. Cooper-Cliffe and Warren Krech, probably, as its outstanding figures. “Alda,” Giuseppe Verdi's ponulurl influence more than any other of his In spite the theater last night. All the prin- by singers who have as individuals and in companies previously proved their excellence in the vocal art to Washington audiences. Marie Rappold gave a splendid dra- matic as well as vocal interpretatio of, the title role. She made an efrec- tive picture of the royal Ethiopian maiden who was humbled constantly into the class of & slave by the prin- cess of the Pharaohs. Her soprano voice showed fine timbre and she enunciated very clearly. Her arla “O Patria Mia,” sung in the third act, inimitablc with 2 new Knighi song singers and dancer; and_attractive repertory, enchanced with handsome costumes. The Co- lumbia Comedy Four, with an amus- ing comedy skit introducing pretty harmonies, and’ Chrisman and Mace, with new chatter and songs, complete the list. The feature picture is supplemented with the Urban Movie Chats, tracing transportation from horseback to the high-powered limousine; a laugh- able farce and the International News. | GAYETY—“Bon Tons.” John Barry, comedian, is featured on the bill “at the Gayety Theater this_week. Jacobs _and_Jermon won her the warmest applause, but her duet, with Manuel Salazar as Rhadame: which _ followed, was equally delightful. Their duet in the last act also was most effective and colorful. r's tenor voice also has a fine tonal quality which carries his softest notes with a pleasing di tinctness. Only in the most dramatic moments of his singing does the cmo- tion which he puts earncstly into his almost pompous interpretation of the | warrler hero slightly overbalance the | musical tones and give a harshness to a few of the note. Stella De Mette, as Amperis, the with many mar- Egyptian princes: velous curis and a jealous disposition, has a mezzo-soprano voice of gres dramatic fervor, which she con: entiously endeavored to combine with dramatic gestures.

They were given a royal reception by a large audience last | night. Both girls retain their youth | and beauty and their nimble toes carry them easily to the high pin- | nacle of success. It was reported that | they brought many trunks, luadcd' with dazzling costumes from Paris, but these failed to appear last night. Possibly they are keeping them as added attractions for the remaining nights of the week. The pony dance, the most elaborate shown last night, has been seen here before. The bes! number possibly is “the torture dance from the slums of Paris, and it went over big, Roszika Dolly showing signs of marked dramatic ability in it. The sisters are assisted by their brothers. Harry Dolly and Edward Dolly and Harry Richman. Another dancing number that shares honors with the topliners is that of Emilie Lea, assisted by Clarence Rock and Sam Kaufman. Miss Lea is a wonderful acrobatic dancer, and in addition Is graceful and good to look at. This act closed the program, and Miss Lea had to respond to at least a dozen curtain calls. Julia Nash and Charley O'Donnell present a sketch. “Almost Single, that carries a line of laughs from start to finish; Mary Gautier and com- pany open the bill with a trained; pony act that was well received; the | Chung Wha Four, “China’s only c: ponents of harmony and fun,” regis- | tered a hit, as did Stella Tracey and | C cBride, -in “Bits of Exclusive- Jimmy - McLaughlin_ and ans are good in a chara n a Little Side Street’ Ernest Ball, the composer. has b come quite 'a comedian, and scor many laughs in addition to singing well new and old song favorites. “Shooting Stars,” culled from The Evening Star, were heartily applaud- ed, as were the animated cartoons and the Pathe and Current Topics.
