CHAsE's NEW GRAND-Mr Chase aE<
nounced that his bill for the current week
was the best he could devise. His judg-
ment has been approved by the amuse-
ment lovers of Washington to the extent
of standing room only houses each day,
and enthusiastic words of praise from all
present FOR the coming week, the event
full election period, he promises with con-
fidence to present array of talent in
every way as great as those who have
played at his New Grand since Monday
last. In many ways 1t may be said the
forthcoming bill will be yet more attracz
tive in its wealth of novel and noteworthy
features A production requiring a COM
pany of four competent players, a COM
plete' colonial setting, scenic and musical
effects, and elaborate and correct costumes
is indeed rarity in the vaudeville thea
tiers, yet that is what Mr.. Chase will pre-
sent in J. w. Albaugh, jr., and his COM
pany in the play Trenton" Wherever it
has been seen this season Trenton has
been pronounced the most ambitious Of
fering vaudeville has known. Mr. Al
baugh's success has been Instantaneous
and he has been accorded an ovation from
his audiences. The presentation of this
drama demonstrates most forcibly the
higher possibilities of the vaudeville Stage.
Trenton is a story of love and war, of
patriotism, devotion and duty. and the
time is the period of the revolution. The
crossing of the Delaware by Washington
is an incident of the play. Mr.. AL
baugh plays the part of John TruaX, a
young lieutenant in Washingtons army.
Another striking feature of the bill will be-
Walter Leroy and Florence Clayton who
stand pre-eminent in their line of comedy
work Marzella, the queen of the
feathered world presents her beautiful
and artistic bird act. The Bachelor Club
is heraIded as the finest combination of
singers anu cOHleuldllS III NduutNlllt-
Thomas, the former comic opera star, is
already a strong favorite in Washington,
and her comedietta this season, "A Lone
Star" will add new laurels to those she
has heretofore won. She is assisted by
Lou Hall. Hacker and Lester give some
thing decidedly new in acrobatic cycling
