Thé reason for all the joy? Jack Norworth! A clever play, with the clever Jack to put it across is an unmatchable combination, and _the full house that greeted this offering last night attested the fact. Johnny Wiggins, substitute “stunt” man for a motion picture company in Los Angeles, is suddenly confront- ed with a problem seriously involv- ing his friend, Bill Burnbam, and Bill's sister, Janet. Johnny is per- suaded by Bert Whitney, rejected uitor of “Janet, to go east in the ssumed person of the unfortunate ill and claim guardianship of Janet nd the fortune left by her father, thus spiking the gun of the Duke of No Moor, who plans to marry the girl to obtain the fortune. arrive the country home of the Burnham's on Long Island. and things begin to happen—and they happen thick and fast until the final ring-down of the curtain. Jack Norworth is, of course, cast as Johnny Wiggins, with pretty and popular little Frances Loughton as Bill's sister Janet. _Eliza Burham, scheming aunt of Bill and Jane! whose sole ambition s to marry her niece to a title and thereby rise to the top of the social ladder, is admirably done by FElizabeth Ross. Scarcely less funny than the cowpuncher Johnny is the effort of this dear auntie to appear “born to the pur- ple” ~ Culture? Should a Frenc man happen in on some of the con- versation and hear auntie handle his language the poor fellow would die of shock in the first Lout. Gordon Bl¥th and Jessie Arnold play oppos the Duke of No Moor and Tupper, conspirators for the $50,000 left by the father of Janet and BilL Mitchell Harris plays Bert Whitney, sweetheart of the petite Janet. Jor- dan, the housemaid, is well done by Rena Cruthers. while Adrian Morgan as Pollitt and Burke Clarke as Jevne shared honors as head butler and valet. Others in the cast are Wil- liam Johnson, John Hoffman and Do othy" Adelphi. " In the second act op- portunity is made for some of the popular Norworth songs, and it is Miss Summers who “smacks out” the tunes for him on the beautiful grand piano in the Burnham home. In the prologue an entirely different cast is presented, with the excep- tion of Norworth, Harris and Burke Clarke, the latter appearing as Rob- ert Charlton. Others in the prologue are Ldgar Northbrook as Steve, Al- merin Gowing, Edwin Trusheim, Ar- thur Plinge, Jean Melville, Laura Johnson and Jack Weisberg. Orchestra numbers include many pretty solections from popular musi- cal comedies and opera. B. F. KEITH'S—Frank Tinney.

The audience gave them a big hand and many curtain calls at the end of the turn. Another act, not quite so preten- tions, but carrying a big punch with its originality and novelty, is put forward by Harry Holmes and Flor- both adepts in quick changes of dress and scenes. They sing fairly and dance exceptionally well. Their patter, in a theater box on the stage, is extremely funny.

Mrs. Rogers, who has never before been heard at these concerts, won her audience even before she began her charming story of “How the Fairies Came to Irelan: “Cuttin’ Rushes” perhaps showed her skill best, but all the selections in her first group were received with great applause. With her original sketches, “Mrs. Doolittle turer on the Amalgamation of Wom- en’s Clubs in Acorn City,” she fairly brought down the house. 3 Both Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were re- called several times and held a re- ception on th, 5 o obdlon e stage after the con “Blossom Time,” Sunday Night. .

He had earnestly be- sought the New York office to extend the engagement a full week, but he Wwas informed that it was _impossible, for other citics besides Washington were demanding it and previous booking prevented a change. Conse- quently he was compelled to buy off from the following attraction the Sunday night time. Ticketa for the performance will be placed on sale tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. COSMOS—“The Capps Family. _There is quite as much interest this week at the Cosmos Theater in the famous Capps Family, the headline attraction, as in the rémarkable spe cialties offered by this unusual & gregation, which includes the mother and Tather and seven boys and girls, from the grownup stage to the tiny tot, who is a real comedlan in his or her own right. Kach member of the troupe has a spe: alty in which he or she is very proficient. Their numbers Include songs, dances, comedy and se- lections on the plano, the xylophone, the saxophone, the cornet and banjo and all are really meritorious. They were greeted with much ap. plause at both the matinee and even- ing performances. A surprise offering leads the pro- gram with Samaroff and Sonia, east- ern dancers in costumed offerings of their native land, which, however, is quickly turned into an acrobatic num- Der, with some very rare and pretty dogs taking part. Ross and Edwards, singers and dancers, imitate Pat Rooney, Al Jolson, George White and Jimmy "Hussey, and Lew Pistel and company, in “Two Dark Knight furnisha very laughable interlnde in blackface much like an incident from “The #lamtree” of Meclntyre and Heath. It won much applause and lots of laughter. Morgan and Binder are two girls, a long and a short one, each with an excellent voice and a sense of comedy values. Both are rather clever in their comedy and dances. The tall girl has a voice you will remember. Especially good are the photoplay offerings, ‘The feature is “The Cub Reporter,” with Richard Talmadge, the young acrobatic star, as its hero, a reporter who furnishes some excit- ing battles with a mob of Chinese and leads them a merry race over the rooftops, all on account of the sa- cred jewel of Buddha which has been olen from a Chinese temple. Buddy Messenger in Smarty”; the Movie Chats and International News complete an en- tertaining bill. GAYETY—“Mollie Williams.” Mollie Willlams, one of the most popular woman performers in bur- Wweek, ‘after an absence of about two years. Last night's capacity audience was ample evidence that she has lost none of her drawing power. Mollie is at the head of her own show, but she is not the whole performance, having surrounded herself with a ca pable cast of entertainers who have the stage the greater part of the time. The chorus evidently has been selected with care, for it is the “zip- plest” and youngest seen here in many a week, its dances, particularly the Indian dance, are put on with a speed that only the youthful can main- taln. Emil Casper in blackface is as funny as ever. his eccentric dances and comedy making a hit last night He also sings several songs of the type used by the late Bert Williams. In a little sketch, “On an Indian Reservation.” he was assisted by Myrtle Franks and Jack Honevwell. of the show. Will Ward and Billy Welp have a Yarge share in the com edy turns. The former is a comedian of many yvears' experience and al- though apparently ready for the Osler treatment shows a surprising amount of pep in his work. q Mildred Campbell made a decided hit with her offerings in song and comedy and the audience recalled her many times. Irene Cassini is a lively young_soubrette with a future, and Mae Woods and Lew Leonder are & clever dancing team. A Mollie Willlams show without & playlet would be incomplete.
