Thurston, the Magician
One of the brightest philosophers of
the world, Dr. Paul t'arus, has said
that iu his opinion modern magic should
have a place in the educational pro
gram. " \Y« shall all," he says, "know
something of the general methods of
magic, and some time in our lives wit
ness the extraordinary feats, bordering
on miracles, with which prestidigitateur
can itarxle our eyes and misguide our
judgment. The boy who has studied
magic will not be so apt iu later %-ears
to take up with every uew fad of my
sticism and will not be so easily
duped."
Tliurstou, the magician, will appear
at the Majestic three days, commencing
to night, with matinee* to-morrow and
Wednesdav, presenting a new program
of mysteries, which like last season,
was the talk of the city for weeks.
His big surprises for this season are
"The New Woman," "Noah's Vis
ion," "The Evolution of the Negro,"
"Aifimated Sketches," "Balaam and
His IVuikey," "Aerial Pishing," "The
Chocolate Soldier" and "Creation." '
Mr. Thurston will present to every
lady attending tho Tuesday and Wed
nesday matinee performances a com
plete horoscope of her life free. —

"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
Through Eugene Waiter's dramatiza

Pine" sweeps the joy, the zest, the en
thusiasm of youth in action, while'
June's primitive character is wonder
fully developed by the deft skill of the
clever dramatist in transferring Mr.
Fox's book-girl to the stage.
The scenic conception of the lonely
pine, the cabin, the conquest of the Gap!
form a moving background, full of color'
and naturalness, enhancing the portray
al of the primitive life of the Cumber-'
land hills which John Fox, Jr., has so
cteverelv conceived in book form with!
deep understanding and sympathy.

"Damaged Goods"
i "Damaged Goods," Eugene Brieux's
j startling sociological play which Kieh
ard Bennett's New York Company of
co-workers, will present here at the Ma
jestic Saturday afternoon and evening,
has the distinction of being the only
theatrical entertainment ever presented
in the National Capital on the Sabbath
Day. This event took place last April
when, under the auspices of the Society
, for Social Hygiene, Kichard Bennett 1
brought his company to Washington i
I from New York City in order that mem- i
bers of Congress and other officials in
national life, might see the play and I
pass upon its fitness for presentation be- 1
fore the general public. President Wil-!
son's Cabinet was represented by Post-,
master General Burelson and Secretary j
of Labor Wilson, and his daughter. The'
play created such a profound impression !
that the Washington Board of Trade \
passed a form of resolution instruct-!
ing its secretary to see what arrange- ■
rnents could be made for a second pre
sentation of the remarkable play in
the city.—Adv. *
At the Orpheum
Girls, this is our week at the Orphe
um. The latest predictions of what
we are going to wear this spring will
be donned by living models in a catchy
musical comedy called "The Fashion
Shop," the new week's headliner. The
playlet consists of an interesting story,
sprinkled with good eoinedv and tuueful
lyrics, the whole written around a very
elassv arrangement of the season's ui-!
tra Parisian creations. Miss Blanch 1
Latell, late star of "Naughy Mariet
ta," will be the bright light of the
beauty show, while the comedy role will
be taken care of by Erl Corr, Broad
way's favorite "rube" comedian.
Hugo Jansen, Europe's famous fash
ion designer, is responsible for the mar
velous creations worn by the girls. He
will also have a port in the act. An
other splendid variety act that belongs j
in the headline class, is a comedy clas-!
sic entitled "Twenty Odd Years" to
be presented by Harry Beresford and
company. The sketch is artistic, even
though it is a comedy, and is looked
upon by vaudeville managers as one of !
the very best comedy sketches, the I
vaudeville market holds. McMahon
and Chapelle are slated to present their
very clever and breezy comedy with
songs entitled "Between Trains" and
other fine hits will be offered by the
Dancing L&vars, in modern ball room
dances; Pietro, piano accordionist; Kra
mer and Morton, blackface comedians,
and the Cavanna Duo, in songs, patter
and comedy.—Adv. *
At the Colonial
Betty, the famous monkey, adopted
daughter of the world famous Consul,
