tendance was presented at Hashfm's Acad-
envy of Music last,nisht. While there were
no stars OF dazzling brilliancy. the lumina-
ries were OF sufficient magnitude to glow
with grateful fulgency that continued
throughout the evening. The applause was
frequent and hearty and those present
seemed seen as a rule highly pleased with what
enjoyable feature Of the bill was the music
performed by the Willards, who exhibited
various curious instruments and displayed
great skill thereupon. The music of seven
nations was performed upon aluminium
Chimes on bamboo caliope. mammoth
octaphone and other odd affairs. The
Misses Cooke and Clinton presented more
or less familiar turn in their fancy rife
and pistol shooting, but their experiences

of rather tfme-worn act. The Delaur-
Debrimont trio sang selection from

CHASES NEW GRAND-An odd COM
mentary on fleeting times impress on stage
land Is afforded by John Albaugh, Jr.'s ap-
pearance here in vaudeville. 1t was under
the guidance of this young actors worthy
sire that the Grand first opened its portals
and prospered for decade, as the home of
the legitimate. And it is a retrospect of
but few years to the Albaugh regime, when
trlumphs OF famous thespians-of Lotta
Norris. Bernhardt. Anderson, Lawrence
Barrett, Keene, Irving and others-carved
inches In the theater's history. The transit
of the handsome playhouse to it's present
successful entertainment standard there
fore fore. is accentuated through occupancy Of
Its stage by an Albaugh in the role of
vaudeville star. Mr.. Albaugh's presentation
of Trenton" a play from his own pen, is
an ambitious undertaking when compared
with Its lighter-vened surroundings "Tren-
ton is romantic bit Of scene of colonial
strife, in which love and patriotism are
pleasingly blended and carried along to a
most effective finale. The play was we'll
received last evening, and Mr.. Albaugh. as
Lieut.. Truax scored signal triumph. Miss
Beth FRANKLIN and Messrs. Clark and Sla-
ter proved good support, and scenic equip
ment and costumes were admirable. The
seven other nuHabers on the bill are of al
most uniform excellence in diversified lines.
LIE Roy and Clayton scored the laughing hit
In Hogan of the Hanson" one Of George
Cohan's brightest connections. Walter Lee
roy's mpersonHtion of the cabman was
irresistibly funny. Messrs Pollard, Morri-
SON, Gunson and RFentge composing the
Bachelor Club, proved great favorites when
once they reached the singing part of their
turn: 1t is doubtful II there is a better quar-
tet in vaudeville Hfida Thomas had new
| sketch In The Lone STAR and a new part
ner IN Lon Han. Both served to good adj
vantage in showing off the principals
| sprghtliness as comedienne. Marzella's
flock Of trained birds performed difficult
feats. amid a most elaborate and artistic
stage setting, and Frank Whitman's novel
performance as the dancing violinist fully
merited his recalls. Hacker and Lester in
an original co1nsdyabicyele act. and Violet
Dale, hin the role of mimic. completed the
bill. For tonight the Grand promises a
sufficiently augmented program to allow of
frequent readings of special election returns
until 2 am, if a decision of the ballots is
not reached before then.

heading Miner & Vans Bohemian Bur-
lesquers at Kernan's Lyceum which is a

is strong one. Fred Wyckoff told sto-
ries cleverly; the three Lane Sisters did a
bright song and dance turn that was loud

a well-dressed act and sang well; the

siho Comedy Four closed the olio with an

hearers likewise. The costumes of the
girls were rich. while the scenery was elab-
crate and intricate. During the action of

! were introduced, while the dancing was
a big feature.
