CHASE'S THEATRE.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Week Nov. 23rd.
LAWSON AND MAMON.
The man makes up as a tramp and does some very superior trick bicycle riding, better in a way than A. D. Robbins. The woman is handsome and in evening dress does bag punching. All is interspersed with comedy which makes it a very good act, indeed, and worthy of a better position on the bill. Full stage.
PAUL BARNES.
This gentleman does an unusually superior monologue and with good voice and clever parodies he makes a distinct hit. All in one.
FINLAY AND BURKE.
A lady and gentleman presenting an act entitled "Stageland Satire". It consists of clever burlesque work and their finish is novel, replete with comedy, and we must commend their work throughout. Full stage closing in one.
WATSON, HUTCHINGS AND EDWARDS CO.
They present their old act entitled "A Vaudeville Exchange" and while there is nothing new added, it stirred up very considerable applause and enthusiasm. Full stage.
INTERMISSION.
LA BASQUE QUARTETTE.
Three gentlemen and a lady sing selections from grand operas and in such as manner as to receive the highest honors on the bill. The best singing act in vaudeville. All in one.
MR. AND MRS. PERKINS FISHER.
"The Half Way House". Not having appeared here for two seasons, their act, always a good one, was received with as much favor as ever. Full stage.
JAMES J. MORTON
He is so far different from the others that he occupies his field alone, occupies it well, and while his talk and songs are nonsensical in the extreme, he furnishes fifteen minutes of entertainment which brings as much applause and pleasure as any act we play in one. All in one.
THE AMERICAN VITAGRAPH.
Gives views of scenes in the life of an American fireman, which is about the best film we have ever used.

H. Winnifred De Witt.
