CHASE'S
WASHINGTON D.C.
Week Jan. 20th., 1913.
THE REXOS
Man and woman in a roller skating act. They do some good work so far as skating goes, but we doubt the value of this kind of an act for our house. F.S.
EARL AND CURTIS
"The Girl and the Drummer". Assisted by a young man as bellboy. A little talking, some singing and dancing. Rather a meaningless little act and one which we do not care very much about. Spec. drop in 1 1/2. Open and close in one.
ELSA RUEGGER
Miss Ruegger is a thorough artiste on the cello and her classical program is made up of selections above the ordinary. Assisted by Edmund Lichtenstein, who conducts the orchestra. A splendid number immensely appreciated by our people. In one.
DAVIS, MACCAULEY AND CO.
"The Girl from Childs" A very good sketch, well written and cleverly acted. A credit to any bill. Three in company. F.S.
INTERMISSION
MORTON AND GLASS
In a dainty little musical comedy entitled "My Lady of the Bungalow". We can recommend this act highly. It is unusual, artistic and very well done. In it there is some clever repartee, some very good singing and of course, some good dancing. Spec. drop in one.
TAYLOR GRANVILLE, LAURA PIERPONT and Co.
In the startling play in three scenes, "The System". This act is well-staged, well-produced and well-acted. It is full of thrills and rife with action and held the attention of the people to the end. 15 in cast and a lot of "supers". The tension of the whole thing is cleverly relieved by the surprise finish, which furnishes quite a bit of comedy. F. S. (1) F.S.
KINEMACOLOR PHOTOPLAY
Comedy drama, "The Merry Monarch". Not so good as the tense dramatic subjects and did not hold the people as well.
