CHASE'S WASHINGTON
WEEK MCH. 27TH, 1911
THE STROLLING PLAYERS
Instrumentalists, one a vocalist, and did nicely in this position. In one.
MARIE and BILLY HART
"The Circus Girl". Clever, novel, good act. Open F. S. Close in one.
CADETS DE GASCOGNE
Quartette of operatic singers. Good. In one.
RYAN and RICHFIELD
"Mag Haggerty's Visit". Went better than when first presented here and went well then. F. S.
INTERMISSION
International Polo Teams
This is a real novelty, an exciting contest and created much interest and enthusiasm.
BERNARD and DOROTHY GRANVILLE.
Made as big a hit as any act we have played this season. Better sign them up quick for next season as they are about to go with Eddie Foy. In one.
HUGH HERBERT and Co.
"The Son of Solomon". Splendid special set, fine cast, good star and one of the real good plays of the season. F. S.
'HUBBY'S TROUBLES"
Fairly good comedy film.



REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR WEEK MCH. 27, 1911.
W. W. Prosser.
GREAT RICHARDS; This young man presents a series of dances impersonating a woman and does it very well. The act is classy all the way through and made a very good impression, finishing strong. His special drop and light effects add greatly to its value. Special in 3, 10 minutes.
THE NEAPOLITANS: 2 women, 1 man. Same excellent classy singing offering as before. Made a very favorable impression throughout and finished strong. Special in 1, 17 minutes.
BARRY & WOLFORD: In "At the Song Booth". A very good line of singing and talking, some of it old and considerable new. Scored heavily throughout and finished strong. Special in 1 1/2, close in 1; 16 minutes.
BARNES & CRAWFORD: Man and woman presenting "The Fakir and the Lady". This is a variety sketch with the introduction of all sorts of comedy and all of which went big. Barnes is an unusual style of comedian and gained many a laugh by his unique method. Sort of a Jim Morton in a sketch. Miss Crawford is a nice looking girl and sings well. There is neither rhyme nor reason to the act but it at all times holds interest and made excellent entertainment throughout. C. D. F., close olio in 1; 24 minutes.
BOUNDING GORDONS: Three young men in a very fine offering which is a combination of bounding table and ground acrobatics. They are very finished performers and all make an excellent appearance. They present a really remarkable routine of feats each of which gained heavy applause. The act is classy and was a big hit. Garden in 5, 11 minutes.
GUS EDWARDS' "SONG REVUE": This now famous act went very big from beginning to end. Each of the various scored heavily, Mr. Edwards himself achieving a distinct personal success. The act held the attention throughout and took several curtains at the finish. Specials in 1 and [5?] alternating. 39 minutes.
MOVING PICTURE:  O.K.
