CHEVY CHASE LAKE-It does not
seem to make much difference whether the
days are warm or cool. the crowds continue
TO go to Chevy Chase Lake for their even
ing's pleasure. This beautiful suburban resort
is within such easy reaching distance of
the city and every one seems to have such
good time there that it is little wonder
the place is so popular. The thousands of
fairy lights at the lake are arranged with
such artistic taste as to transform an ordi-
nary pleasure resort into scene that re-
sembes fairyland. The electric fountain
in the water and the Illuminated boats on
the lake greatly heighten this effect New
set pieces or some novel arrangement Of
the fairy lights are constantly being con-
structed, and even those who visit the lake
frequently find something unique and pleas
ing to admire during each visit. The illu-
limitations are not the only attractions at
Chevy Chase Lake, however Dancing is

jewish play to be presented the stage
a new departure in many respects Mr.
Zangwills story, series of sketches of
jewish life and character In the Ghetto OF
Lc ndon has been very extensively read
and the book has an extraordinary follow
ing, both among Hebrews and Christians
Curiosity to see the types drawn in the
novel transferred to more realistic presen-
tation on the stage will undoubtedly at
tract a large patronage to the play.
The new production is under the man
agement of Liebler & Co., who presented
Viola Allen in The Christian here last
year. They are more than confident of its
success, and say they have in 1t even a
stronger Offering than in Mr.. Hall Gaines

Lackaye Frank Worthing, William Norris
Claude Brooke Charles Stanley Richard

not so well known here, but who are very
able players are Adolphe Lestina Gus Fran
KEEL. Frank Cornell Fred Lotto and Sadie
Stringham. Mabel Taliaferro, the child ac-
tess, will play one OF the most interesting
characters. In addition to this exception
ally strong company, there will be over
100 people In the market place and syna-
eogue scenes and also eight Hebrew prayer
singers. Nothing will be left undone, it is
said to give the play perfect presentation
