The weather last night was not par
ticularly good for the opening Of sum
mer resort. yet Notwithstanding this fact
there was a good-sfzed audience at the
Glen Echo amphitheatre when Manager
Thomas gave his initial programme of
vaudeville. The bill included some very
clever performers, and their efforts were
rewarded by much well-deserved applause
The bill included the Major sisters, in
several popular songs; Eldora and Norine
in novel feats of jugglery and head bal
ancing; Fetching brothers, clever mu-
sical team; HIN and Ostrade. Harry and
Eva La Roane, assisted by a talented
child, billed as Baby Fedora In an ak

gician, who performs number or new
tricks very creditably and completely
mystifies his audience. owing TO the IN
clemency of the weather, the grounds at
Glen Echo were not thronged last night
as they doubtless will be later on IN the
season. A noticeable feature In connec-

the excellent character of the attendance.

formity with section 26 of the act of Con-
gress approved February 2, 1901. The con-
templated details will be made from Off
GERS who shall have passed an examina-
tion satisfactory to the board and upon
its recommendation.
Eligible officers serving in the Depart

Camp Mckinley, Honolulu. Hawaiian Isl
ands) and the Department of the Column
bia who may desire these details should

respective department commanders. and

tant General of the Army.

Chnse's-vnudeviIIe.

The Keith living pictures demonstrated
their popularity at Chase's yesterday
when they ATTRACTED two of the largest
houses of the year and received many. ex-
pressions of approval. There are many
new poses displayed this week, while
some of the most attractive ones of last
week notably Spring Dawn " Evan
geline," and Yankee Doodle" are once
more shown with a great deal of success
( The pictures are undoubtedly one of the
most popular features Manager Chase has
ever offered his patrons, and there is
every chance that they will keep his place
of amusement well filed during the re-
mainder of their engagement. The new
poses include a number of nudes which
do not seem to share the same degree Of
popularity that do the ones that engage
the services of children. especially AT
the Well, Summer" and Soldiers, At
tention!'
Another feature of yesterdays bill was
| George Leslie and Louise Willis, who is
better known to local theatregoers as
Louise Willis Hepner. They are assisted
by company" which is vastly superb
or to most support of the kind. The sketch
is prize" one. and is entitled "Chums. "
1t is built on the mistaken identity idea
and while it is very clever in dialogue. it
is better than many others with the
same idea as the basis. Miss Willis does
some very good work, while Mr.. Leslie
displays his staginess in many little ways
and the real honcTs of the presentation
go TO an assistant, Richard Pitman, who
does some exceedingly capable comedy
work. Miss Neville Francis is also seen in
the little affair and is entirely satisfac
tory. As a vaudeville entertainment it is
decidedly good and creates many laughs.
James Richard Glenroy scores the big
popular hit of the bill with a nonsensical
mOnologue which is about the best specl
men of killing time to the great delight
OF an audience that has ever been seen
on the Chase stage. Glenroy's idea of
humor Is frightfully exaggerated, but
none the less enjoyable. while his work
is right up to the moment, and clean cut
and novel. Welby, Pearl, Nellis, and Fell
present a clog dancing act of the kind
that was popular during the early Bar
low, Wilson. Primrose. and West period.
There are few similar acts on the stage
today. which doubtless accounts for the
success of this one. Another minstrel act
of long time ago is given by the Nom
descripts, who programme themselves as
fin de steele eXponents of refined negro
comedy. The turn is a good filler in,
although it presents nothing rema ably
interesting. Matt and Carrie Woodward
and the bioGraph round out the bill There
will be the usual daily matinee during the
week.
