AMUSEMENTS THE PRESIDEN-—'¥t's a Boy.” The week's play by the President Plawers. “It's a Boy." proves to be especially well adupted to the capa- Dilities of the members of the stock orgamtzation, and. the opening per- formance last evening revealed in most effective way the amusing fea- tures of that excelient comedy. There ‘were countless laughs throughout the three acts and prologue written by Willlam Anthony McGuire, and no meniter of the company failed to come through with sonfe contribyt tea to the general hilarity, while tnere is also a real story with gen- ulne dramatic interest. It is the old game—the young man engaged in a prosperous business, which he has bullt up through his own energy and capacity; the big company that desires to control his &rowing system of chain stores, and the offer, which he accepts, of a large he established organiza- condition that he sell out his . only to find at the end of a year that his services are not wante: lost h stitute job as well to the old home tow: by friends and neighbo Hne of activi return of pros John Litel, as but the s hen it is back the assistance into a new , and the prospective hester Blake. the and Edith King, unfortunate in- in the big city, combine the amusing experiences of the birth of a first child and the more serious ph i n , the ing moments in- which marked by strength of characterization.

Paul Decker and company have a new playlet, entitled “Doubt,” and it was preseiited so cleverly as to cause numerous laughs and hearty applause. Baggert and Sheidon opened the pro- gram with a clever juggling act; Moore and Freed proved to be a,g00d musical |team: Roye and Maye were seen in an | exceptionally fine _dancing act that scored an emphatic hit; the Arnaut Brothers were entertaining as bird jmi- tators, and the usual house atractlons fill out the progra: e COSMOS—The Carnival of Venice.’ The vaudeville and photoplay head- Iiners this week of the Cosmos Theater bill, alone probably offer finer entertainment for the money |charged for admission than Wash- {ington has had before. “The Car- nival of Venice” greatly improved in setting and costuming and also by the addition of two fine dancing num- bers, returns with Mlle. Donatella, | the ‘wonderful tambourinist, heading ¥ | the galaxy of artists that compose | the company. While their selections still_include the attractive Itallan classic numbers, there is a cohoession to the modern spirit of jazz which, with Mlle. Donatella’s tambourine, makes an applause-winning combina- tion. The number runs longer than formerly and is well worth seeing and hearing.
