COMING TO THE THEATRES.
Chase's-PoIite Vaudeville.

A double bill of vaudeville and min
strelsy is announced for next week at
Chases. George Wilson's minstrels will
be the important attraction, and will oc-
cupy the entire second half of the pro-
gramme. In addition, Mr. Chase has
booked a number of vaudeville acts to
make up the first half. Thus two popu-
lar styles of amusement will be brought
together in one bill and the week sho-d
be one of the most prosperous and thor
oughly enjoyable the playhouse has
known for some time. George Wilson,
he of the shirtwast and Waltz Me Again"
renown, will be at the head Of the black
faced organization and occupy his popu-
lar position as one of the end men. He
will be heard in some of his wittiest say
ings and viii also be heard in monologue
and topical songs. Opposite to Wilson will
sit another star of the minstrel world.
Carol Johnson. The iuterlocutOr. J. NJ.
NorcrosS, is famous as an occupant of
the central chair. The second end men
will be Lou Spencer and Billy Barlow.
These comedians reflect the high charac-
ter of George Wilson'S company, which
Is said to be one of the best of its kind.
herbert and Willing, the Bachelor Club
Quartette, and other novelties, are in
cluded in the minstrel portion of the en-
tertainment.
On the vaudeville side of the programme
will be Louis Simon. Grace Gardner and
company, presenting one of VIII NJ.
CresSy S little comedies, The New Coach
man; the Carl Dammann troupe of seven
European acrobats and tumblers: the
Helen Reed trio of vocalsts, harpists and

Secret Service" the great war play by
William Gillette. 1t seems rather odd
that another Gillette play should follow
this weeks delightful Offering, Because
She Loved Him So The two plays,
however, are widely different. vet there is
in each the element of perfect naturalness
so characteristic of all of GiIlett's works.
Although Secret Service" is a war play
there is no display of the horrors of the
battlefield or the noise of conflict with
the exception of two pistol shots fired on
the stage there is nothing of the stress
and strife except suggestions of what is
happening in the distance. These sug-
gestions, however. are skillfully handled
and realistically produced. The story
deals with the venture of a Northern spy
into Richmond to obtain secret informa-
ton for use in a sOrtie by the Federal
troops. This information. and the power
to transmit it over the telegraph lines, he
obtains through the love and confidence
he wins from a beautiful Southern girl.
The time comes, in the great scene in the
telegraph office, where he must either
send this despatch over the wires, losing
her love and respect, or else decide that
it is not honorable to take advantage of
a woman's honor. His manly instincts
prevail and he does not send the despatch.
Luckily for his personal safety, this re-
fusal saves him his life, since he is about
to die when it Is discovered that he who
might have turned Richmond over to the
Federal forces. had nOt utilized his op-
portunity. At the same time he regains
his liberty and his love. The role of Cap
tain Thorne should be a good one for the
display of Edwin Arden's talents while
Minnie Radcliffe will be seen in the role
of Miss Varney. Special scenery is being
prepared, according TO the press agent.
