The Grnnd-ynudexiIle.

This weeks offering of polite vaudeville
at the Grand is another OF those excep-
tionally good bills that Manager Chase's
patrons have enjoyed during the past few
weeks. Just at present Washingtonians,
at the Grand, are being furnished with a
better grade of vaudeville than is to be
found at any of the leading New York
houses that are devoted to this type of
entertainment.
Josephine Gassman and her three pick
aniEnies carry off the popular honors this
week, and the audience yesterday after
noon did not seem able to get enough of
this delightful singer of coon songs and
her diminutive Ethiopian assistants. Miss
Gassman has improved her act a good
deal since her last local appearance, and
she can always count on a warm welcome.
Digby Bell puts forward an excellent en-
tertainment of songs and Rotations
and several stories which have the quality
of being funny even If some Of them are
a bit old Mr.. Bell makes his introduce
tio1 by means of the trite mother-in-law
Joke route, but soon settles down to work
and succeeds in making a hit Of large
proportions.
One of the daintiest and most COM
mendable vaudeville features that have
came into its present popularity under the
management of Mr.. Chase is the enter
tainment of Eleanor Falk and her Eight
Jersey Lilies'-eight handsome young
women who sing fairly well and dance
very gracefully. Miss Falk sings "A
Little Gingerbread DOLL most fetchingly
and also renders My Jersey Lily" with
her octette of assistants in the chorus.
The act is provided with a special scenic
setting Of an elaborate nature. and the
young women have several changes of
costumes, pretty and in splendid taste.
Miss Falks effort is a distinct advance
in the direction of better vaudeville, and
she fully merited the approval she receiv-
ed at the hands of the two large au-
diences yesterday.
Ellison and Enrol, vino have been seen
on the Grand stage on several previous
occasions have very funny sketch called
"a House Divided which scores heavily
with that portion of the audience that
relishcs plentiful fun in sketches. II. s.
Godfrey. the assistant, Is capable and
helps create a vast amount of laughter
Lizzie and Winnie DAILY have a first-class
dancing act in which are exhibited many
fancy steps and variety of acrobatic
dancing. Emily Lytton and two compan-
ion players, offer sketch by Will NJ
Cressy called Next which is good
enough to exploit the cleverness of Miss
Lytton ard incidentally provoke a con-
siderable amount of fun. Sheridan and
Flanagan are two black face comedians
who copy the act of Montgomery and
Stone as much as possible and prove to
be unusually good dancers. They work
very hard and receive a large share of
applause Margaret Etoile and Baby Lee
have little sketch termed Christmas
Eve which is decidedly amateurish.

such a character as to make them agree
able to the eye. There is a brightness to
the entire performance that is lacking in
many organizations in the burlesque field.
and from The opening chorus until the
final drop of the curtain the fun is contin-
uous. whether in the burlesque or during
the excellent olio.
The vaudeville portion of the perfor-
nance is furnished by Clark and Corbley.
Down on the Farm sketch artists; Pow
ers and Hyde, rough-house comedians;
Lucy Lane, soubrette who can dance
we'll and sing acceptably; and several 9TH
er capable entertainers. A feature Of the
performance is the appearance of 1.-The
Girl in Blue who is seen in the burlesque
and does decidedly sensational dance.
The burlesques, called "Mirthful Mis-
haps" and king Walla- Walla." are up to
the average and engage the services OF the
entire aggregation of comedians and sing
ers. Matinee daily.

A RUMoR DIscREDITED.
Nothing Known Here of the Court
Martial of Captain McCaIIa.

Navy Department officials do not credit
the report from Manila that Captain Nc
Gala is being tried by court martial. At
the Bureau of Navigation it is said that
Captain McCalla and Lieutenant Com
mander Colwell, his executive officer, had
controversy which led the latter to
make certain statements about his super
ior officer. The trouble extended SO far
and became SO public that Admiral Re-
mey a week ago ordered a court of en-
quiry to investigate the allegations of
Lieutenant Commander Colwell regard
ing Captain McCalla. This was in no
sense a court-martial, and If the court of
enquiry developed anything warranting a
court martial Navy Department officials
say Admiral Remey has not informed the
department.
