AMUSEMENTS BC‘G‘CO—‘ ‘The R;Ve I‘B End“ Loyalty and duty, love snd hatred, murder and opium, the Royal North- west Mountsd and the frozen spaces commingle at the Shubert-Belasco 'Thenar this week to delineate what is billed as a “thrilling drama, in & prologue and three acts, entitled “The River's End.” It is the story of the return of a fugitive in the clothes and character of the mounted policeman who Was chasing him all around the northland for four long years, and who finally died from a frozen lung after the ive had been ministering to him. as. the wish of the dying Private ston that John Keith, fugitive. n in his character. Keith looked very much like Coniston, and he came back as Constable Coniston. Then Coniston's sister arrived and wanted to see her brother. She took Keith for her brother and started keeping house for him. N one €x- cept Shan Tung, a Chinese, and Andy Dugan, who mothered Keith, recog- nized the returned fugitive. With conspicuous gallantry, Keith, as Coniston, prevented the Chinese trom blackmailing Miriam Kirkstone into marrying him, even though he disclosed his real identity in so doing and was forced to be present with a smoking revolver In nand when ‘wo | Chinese—one of them Shan Tung— breathed thetr last. ~ And then he ran away again, And the girl and Andy Dugan followed him to “the river's end” to tell him that the murders were not charged against him—not even the one that made him a fugitive, because the son of Judge Kirkstone, who was dying, fessed to it in iime to clear r.

An exceptionally entertaining bill is offered this week at Keith's, with all that the followers of vaudeville dote on—good singing, good acting, unique dancing and a full share of comedy. Nance O'Neil and company course, head the list with a p entitled “All the World's a Stage,” in which the great actress is given plenty of opportunity to display her rare gifts in the emotional, tragic and | comedy line. The little story tells| of the infernal or rather the eternal triangle, in which a noted critic is so much occupied with his work that he neglects friend wife, with the usual result. Everything turns out all right in the end, but the thrills car- ried toward the close make the play- let worth while. Miss O'Neil's mag- nificent voice is still there with its telling tragic and pathetic notes. Al- fred 1 the never-to-be-for. gotten Billie” of Trilby fame, Miss chief support.

Cosmos—"Clem Bray's Maryland Entertainers™ Fully in touch with the spirit of jazz that prevails in amusement cir- cles this week, the mauagement of the Cosmos Theater is offering Clem Bray’s Maryland Entertainers, one of the high-pepped jazz aggregations of the country as its headliner, in a pro- gram that covers the range of syn- copation and veers into the symphon- ic fleld. The boys sing that they are “Not from Here, Not from There” and maybe forty miles from nowhere, but they are bound for the famous Arcadia at Atlantic City, where they are billed as a star attraction for the coming season. Washington Is getting the best they have to offer in advance. Fun is the keynote of this week's bill, which s a good one. Bronson and Edwards start off with an act which {5 one of the big novelties of the season.

It is the story of a confirmed non- marrying bachelor who fell for a temperamental prima donna to learn the lesson that sent him begging on his knees to the old-fashioned girl to marry him. The picture is finc in all but its name.
