Chase's theatre.
Washington, D. C.
Week of Dec. 14th.
Mlle. Doherty's Poodles. A very pretty and acceptable opening act. Full stage.
Aurie Dagwell. She copies the act of Maud Courteney, but her work does not please us at all. All in one.
Waterbury Brothers and Tenny. Their work embraces many new features, replete with good music and interspersed with acceptable comedy by the black face comedian. Good act. Full stage closing in one.
Girard and Gardner. Same act as ever, but provoked as much laughter and just the same hit as upon previous occasions. Full stage.
Intermission.
The Haidabura Trio. These people are Russian singers and dancers and on account of their novelty went very well. Full stage.
Charles Kenna, "The fakir' " This is another act which is clever in spots and on account of being out of the ordinary grooves was fairly well received. All in one.
Midgley and Carlisle. They presented their sketch entitled "Taking A Tonic", which created much merriment and evidently pleased equally as well as upon previous occasions. Full stage.
The Vitagraph. Showed some comedy views which were good, and concluded with "The Fate of a Soldier Deserter", which was rather pathetic and for that reason undesirable.
