H. Winnifred De Witt, Mgr.

CHASE'S WASHINGTON

-:Week Nov. 29th, 1909.:-

HARRY DE COE Most wonderful and sensational feats of balancing.
Full stage.

JOHN NEFF & CARRIE STARR "The Brain Star Comedian and The Telephone Girl". Quite a few novel comedy features in this offering and held the place acceptably. Special drops, opening and closing in one

HARRY B. LESTER By special arrangement with Mr. Lester he very considerably modified and shortened his monologue, following it with the best character imitations of Richard Carle, Victor Moore, Sam Bernard, James Thornton, James McIntyre, Billy Clifford, and Edwin Stevens ever given here. In this line of work he is a capable artist and makes a decided hit. In one.

AUGUSTE VAN BIENE and Co. "THE MASTER MUSICIAN". A beautiful play, splendidly acted, excellent support, and with his cello playing, gave most eminent satisfaction. Full stage.

-:INTERMISSION:-

REDFORD and WINCHESTER The juggling is good, comedy good, and our people seemed to like them. Full stage.

"CHALK" SAUNDERS A clever crayon artist who always fills positions two or three very nicely but this place is a little too stiff for him.
In one.

OTIS HARLAN and Co. "AN ACCOMODATING STRANGER". His support consists of two men and two women who take their parts well. There are two old chaps who are brothers, the wife of one a suffragette, and a young lady going to a masked ball. The wife detects the two two old fellows trying to escape her and go to the ball. They explain that they are looking for a nobleman, a guest about to arrive and in their desperation pick up Harlan who agrees to impersonate the latter. Plenty of fun and good songs go to make up an act that fits Harland nicely. Full stage.

THE AMERICAN VITAGRAPH "Life Aboard a French Battleship". Good.

Saving...
