Chase's Theatre. Washington, D.C.
Yomomoto Brothers. Full stage. Close in one. This is one of the most sensational acts we have ever played. Work on wire good and on perch dangerous and thrilling.
Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie Barry. Full stage, giving their sketch entitled "A Skin Game". Very strong comedy throughout and audience enthusiastic.
Julian Rose. Works in one. His parodies were very well received, but his talk was only fair.
Charles J. Ross and Mabel Fenton. Presenting their travesty "Cleopatra". Full stage, carry their own set. Too much cannot be said for the splendid work of these well known artists. They made a tremendous hit.
Intermission.
Johnson and Dean. Full stage. Their songs and dances made a great hit and the only weak spot was failure to use black drop at the finish. Their act one of the biggest hits of the bill.
Willis P. Sweatnam. All in one. While this man appears to please certain sections of the audience, he does not appear to generally succeed in interesting.
Mason - Keeler Co. Full stage. A kind of sketch somewhat out of the ordinary which was acceptably done, very well received and the hit was made by Mason's piano playing.
Musical Johnsons. Work in one. Among the best xylophone players, but would do well to change their selections occasionally.
H. Winnifred De Witt,
Manager.
