j ing as well as singing Carl Haydn inter-?>o1ated "The Little Gray Home in the
; West" with marked success. "The Girlof My Dreams," the song which suppliesthe title of the show, is another numberwhich adds to the general attractivenessof the musical portion of the entertain¬ment.However, like many another musical
mixture, the name has little to do withthe entertainment. No one has achance to dream in the story of thiscomedy, which is one of those farceswhere three or four persons are. al¬ways being: shoved into the wrong: roomto escape being: seen by the irate hus¬band or wife. The principal work ofDorothy Walker in the "Girl of MyDreams' is to be shoved violentlythrough a door. She plays the part ofthe coquettish wife of a Venezuelangeneral, ami does it charmingly, mak-ing it quite possible to wish she hadbeen more in evidence.Two dancers. Leonore Novasio and
Philip Sheffield, take the stage to them-selves for an entertaining novelty Inwhich a new song is presented. Thename of the song is immaterial; it issimply there to allow the t a*o artists?<> show what they can do in a cleverlittle dance concoction.The German count, a part honored by
long association with musical comedy,is played, strange to say, by W. .J Mc¬Carthy. His name is a surprise, as itwould not seem possible for a person
j w ith a name so far from Teutonic ori-gin to speak stage German so well amiwith such laughable results. DavidAndrada as tlie bellicose Venezuelanadds another touch of humor to the
j performance.B. F. Keith's.
An extensive wardrobe, that cavenew ideas for the blending of brilliantcolors, aided Alice Lloyd, the Englishcomedienne, to win the enthusiasticplaudits of the capacity audience atli. F. Keith's Theater last night. MissLloyd's songs have the merit of beingnew and are sung with a dainty vi¬vacity. Miss Lloyd, as the climax for
I her' act. taught the audience a song'about "sister Susie sewing saucy softshort shirts for suffering soldiers.'
j While Miss Lloyd was the nominalheadliner. there were rivals for thepremier favors of the audience, and thebill was enjoyable throughout. As fun- Imakers Jack Donahue and Alice MarionStewart furnished fifteen minutes of Jsheer nonsense that kept the audience
j in a roar; and to the patter Mr. Dona-|hue added some eccentric dancing thathas* rarely been equaled before \\ ash-ington theatergoers. The applause wasalmost incessant and many recalls weredemanded.The principal novelty of the evening
was furnished by the Princess Radjah,who presented her original creations,the Cleopatra dance and the Arabianchair dance. For the first, an elaborateKcrvptian stage se.tting was provided,]w ith a live snake abput five feet in'length, as one of the properties Thespirit of the Egyptian dance, in all itswierdness. was maintained with graceand charm. The finale came with theuse of the snake for ati apparent fatalsnake bite and a daring backward falldown a stairway. The little sketch,"The Red Fox Trot," presented byGeorse Howell arid associate players.is rendered in a manner unusually clev-nr. carrying a theme that is very time- jly and at the same time entertainingand amusing. Mr. Howell is an actorof ability and his support is very good.Other god turns which have been seen
here before are Cardo and Nail, a pairwho can sing; the Ward Brothers ineccentric dancing and laughable pat-ter. the Gaudsmidts, tumblers withclever Spanish poodles; the Herbert jGermalne trio, comedy bar experts, andthe unusually interesting Pathe week-;ly news picttires. j
Cosmos.Not in a long while has the Cosmos
Theater presented a more laughablebill of original numbers than that ofthis week. Each act stands on its ownmerit and some of them are unusuallygood. Permaine opens the programwith a high-class musical offering withhis concertina, that is in no sense
hackneyed or uninteresting.and thencomes the laughter. Dorothy Rich¬mond, Pell Tenant and Company givea fine presentation of Edgar AlanWoolf's amusing comedietta, "A Hus¬band Pro Tem," in which a gay youngblade turns the tables on a rich youngwoman, who has married him to meetthe conditions of her father's will.Williard and Bond, old minstrel men.have "tl\*t scream'? in h "negroid travesty«.f the Bertillon system" entitled "Dfctec-tivtsm," which is not only the great'rarity, a new minstrel sketch, but onethat keeps an audience in roars oflaughter with its original and funnydialogue. The Review Comedy Fouralso has an excellent number, featur¬ing the laughable blackface JohnHealy. formerly of A1 G. Fields min¬strel troupe, two fine soloists and a
clever rube comedian. Their harmonysongs are good and their surprise cli¬max a big hit. Brindamour, "the hand¬cuff king," performs some clever feats,among them that of putting on andtaking off coats while his hands areshackled and in a remarkably brieftime. The amusement of his act is pro¬vided bv an "audience volunteer," whodoes his part well. The Van Wardshave a trio of entertainers, including a
good imitationist, a strenuous girl anda "nut" auxiliary, and the three, makeamusing entertainment The added at¬tractions include a freak motion pic¬ture cartoon, "Col. Heez A. Liar, Na¬turalist," which is laughable; theHearst-Selig motion pictures of theNew York naval review by the Presi¬dent and the detailed score of the Na¬tionals-Detroit ball game on the elec¬trical scoreboard. A new bill is an¬nounced for Thursday.

SHIPPING CONFERENCESDO NOTCOMMIT THEU.S.
British Government, Through. Am¬bassador Here, Makes Formal
Statement.
Formal statement for the Britishgovernment made to the State Depart¬ment by the British ambassador. SirCecil Spring-Rice, makes it speqlficall>clear that the participation of theState Department's foreign trade ad¬visers in unofficial conferences regard¬ing cotton cargoes "in no way Involvesthe United States government."A memorandum issued by the British
foreign office several days ago was
construed here as intimating that un¬official participation by the State De¬partment s foreign trade advisers inarrangements for concession# to Ameri¬can cotton shippers committed theUnited States government to acquiescein the course pursued by the allies to¬
ward neutral commerce. As a result,conferences between the trade advisersand officials of the British embassywere abruptly halted.
Cause of Misconstruction.In official quarters here it is under¬
stood that the misconstruction of theAmerican position was due to some of¬ficials in London, and the ambassa¬dors statement from the British for¬eign office fully clears up the matter.Whether the trade advisers now will
resume their conferences is not known.It is understood, however, that somemachinery for the certification ofproofs of ownership of American goodswill be provided.
Ambassador's Statement.
Following is the text of the ambassa¬dor's statement:"The arrangement with regard to
shipments of cotton and other articlesof commerce were agreed on betweenrepresentatives of the British govern¬ment and the representatives of theAmerican interests concerned. Thegovernment of the United States were
in no ^ense a party in these agree¬ments and took no part in the confer¬ences.
"The British government quite real¬ize that these unofficial arrangementsin no way involved the United Statesgovernment, and that they do not andcannot commit either government toany departure from the views whichthey have already expressed in their |official notes with regard to the declar¬ation of March 1. and the blockade pol¬icy adopted to give effect to It."

Barge No. IT. of the ConsolidationCoastwise Company fleet will be thenext big vessel to load coal at theGeorgetown piers for New Englandports. No. 15 passed in the capes ofthe Chesapeake yesterday, from Bos¬ton, and at Point Lookout was droppedby the tug that had her in tow, and a
tug from this city will pick her up tobring her to Georgetown. This bargeloaded the second cargo of the springseason at Georgetown.iiarge No. VI. which has been lyinj?
at the coal piers for the past severaldays, will probably complete her cargopo that the fug that brings No. 15 tothis city can take No. 12 away. It isstated that shipments of coal fromGeorgetown to New England pointswill be exceptionally heavy this season.
Two Wills Filed for Probate.The will of Achsah Ashley L,oomis,
dated June 16, 1914, has been filed forprobate. He names the American Se¬curity and Trust Company as executorand directs that a gold watch be givento a niece, Karen Amethyst Bagg, andthat the remaining estate be distrib¬uted among his prandchildren.By the terms of the will of Edwin S.
