COMING ATTRACTIONS.

LAST WEEK OF MUSICAL COMEDY
Next week the closing presentation of
Chase's Musical Comedy Stock Company
will be made at Chase's Theater. The sea-
son which will thus be brought to an end
has been successful beyond the anticipation
of the management and has marked the
beginning of what may each year be de-
lightful period of bright and refreshing
amusement in the early summer. The pa
irons of Chase's are almost unanimous in
expressing the wish that musical comedy
stock company similar to the cue which
has afforded such delightful entertainment
during the past month shall be q feature
of the house every year for a given Pc
riod. The present company has become ex-
ceptionally popular with the playssoers, and
the audiences which have witnessed it's
performances establish precedent in
Washington summer theatricals. Next
week the playgoers will say good bye to
their favorites of the cast and chorus and
the series of performances which will be
inaugurated Monday afternoon and will
continue up to and including Saturday
night should be marked by many ovations.
The week will mark the close of the theat-
rical year Of 19OO-19O1 in Washington and
there Will be no more amusements IN the
playhouses until the next regular season
opens. Chase's will be closed until Sep
tember 16.
The comedy which has been selected for
closing week Is one of the cleverest, Play
wright Hoyt ever penned 1t is "A Day
and Night which was written with a
special character in it to fit Otis Harlan
who will be seen next week In his original
role. The selection of "a Day and Night
is regarded as being especially happy
one and should bring the season of Hoyt's
enjoyable comedies to a fitting close The
piece is replete with novelties and speciaI-
ties. The lines sparkle with wit and the
characters are an altogether interesting
lot. The company will be cast to it's best
advantage and the production should prove
one of the best vet seen. John w Dunne

be the wife. Otis Harlan will have his
original and successful role of Marble
