THE SEASONS OUTLOOK.

Vita the openings scheduled for to-
morrow afternoon and evening. the local
theatrical season of 10000 will be in
augura:ed. Perhaps the most important
premier announced is the introduction of
the Messrs. Hashim, of Philadelphia. as
managers of the Academy of Music. for
years given to the production of melo-
drama farce comedy, and the like. Al popu-
lar prices. With the incoming Of the
Hashims another theatre devoted TO vau-
deville will cater to Washingtonlsns who
patronize this very popular form Of stage
entertainment. Alexander Hashim, who
will be the resident manager OF the

that every feature that will be conducive
to their comfort will be found at the
former Rapley downtown theatre.
Manager Chase, OF the Grand, will ar
rive in the city this afternoon from bis
home, Mount Vernon, Ohio, and will at
once commence the necessary preparations
for the opening OF his theatre on the 10th
instant. The Grand has been renovated
and redecorated throughout and Mr.. Chase
can claim, without fear of contradiction,
that the Grand is by all odds the hand
soonest vaudeville theatre in the United
States, with the possible exception of the
Keith Boston house. The same conserva-
tism that has heretofore marked Mr..
Chase's management Of the Grand will be
observed throughout the coming season,
and as he has built up an enyiable ellen
tele. there is every reason to believe that
the season at the Grand-it Will be known
hereafter as Chase's Grand-will be even
more successful than last year.

Kernnn,.-.The High RoIIer..n

The management OF the High Rollers
who will occupy the stage at Kernan's this
week, commencing with the matinee to-
morrow, makes great claims for the COM
pany. The supply of adjectiyes has been
exhausted in describing the scenery, cos
tunes. comedians, and feminine members
of the burlesque Organization. Everything
from the managerial point OF view is su-
perlative.
Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains
that the High Rollers made a very
strong impression while at Kernan's last
year, and if the performances that will be
given this week show the same intelli gent
stage management. as good fun makers
who have passed the Joe Miller period, as
capable singers and costumes that are in
as good taste as those that characterized
the appearance OF the High Rollers a
year ago, Manager kernan's patrons will be
treated to unusually good burlesque enter
tainments. There will be the customary
two burlesques and an olio said to be above
the average.
