Statistics on Free Ice Cream.

Chase's ice cream department is au-
thority for the following figures. which
tend to prove that the manager has hit
upon a particularly happy idea in serv-
ing ice cream and ices free to his pa
trcGs:
During the first day the free ice cream
plan was tried more than 100 cups were
served. BY the middle Of the week
5.2l7 glasses of cream were provided
to lovers OF vaudeville. and there was
at that time every reason to believe
that the service would reach total Of

1t was a bit difficult at first to con-

cream was first class. and that it was

Comic 0rerd at Chase S.

Manager Chase has arranged for n
very attractive season of four or FIVE
weeks Of comic opera at his thcater.
The musical season will be innuguratci
next Monday with revival of "Ermi-
ME-" in which number of undeniably
clever performers will participate.
Pauline Hall will be seen in her origi-
raj role of Erminie and Will sing the
Good Night" song and the Lullaby

and Fred Daboll made their initial ap-
pearances as Caddy and Ravy, respec-
lively. Miss Halls recent successes in
vaudeville would seem to bear out the
claim that she retains much of her good
looks and pleasing voice, notwithstand-
ing the fact that sixteen years have
elapsed since she made her first success
in the Paulton piece.
Other feminine members of the Chase
company will be Miss Della Stacey. who
is said to be Washingtonian, and who
was earlier this theatrical season
member of the MAN 'selle 'Awkins"
part; Miss Mabel Van Vie, who comes
from st. Paul. and is described as n
society recruit who possesses an excel
lent soprano and wealth of good looks:
Jessie Bradbury. a contralto. who will
play the Captain; Fred Frear, a come
dian. who enjoys 4 flrst class reputation
in the comic opera world; William Brod

Claiming Follock's New Plays.

Mr.. Claiming Pollock, a former local
dramatic writer OF decidedly brilliant
attainments. iS the author Of two new
plays that are expected TO reach the
footlights some time next season.
One effort is a play with Napoleon
Bonaparte as the central figure, to be
called The Great Adventurer"-an cx-
cellent title by the way. a drama by
james W. Harkin. jr.. dealing with the
same subject has been contracted for by
Thomas z. Shea. and II ii does not meet
with the actors requirements, he will
utilize Mr. Pollock's work.
Another play by MIR. Pollock is just
receiving the finishing touches. II is
called THE Breath OF Suspicion" and
will be produced in the fall by promi-
Ient manager.
Mr.. Pollock has. during the past two
years. been connected with the business
stan OF William 4. Brady's amusement
ventures and has been uncommonly sue

Viola Allen as Julia.

Miss Viola Allen impersonates Julia
In James Sheridan Knowles famous old
comedy, The Hunchback." at the Ma
tional Theater tomorrow night only.
1t has been many years since this
famous play was given an adequate pre-
sentation on the American stage. In
the original production at Covent Gar
den Theater, in 1882, the character of
Master Walter, the Hunchback. was i'm
personated by the author. Charles Kem-
BILE was the Sir Thomas Clifford. and his
daughter Fanny was the Julia.
When the play was given its first pre-
sentation at the Chestnut Street The
ater. Philadelphia, in 1888. Charles
Kemble was again the Sir Thomas Cliff
ford, and his daughter. Fanny Kemble,
was again the Julia. Some years later
James Sheridan Knowles came to this
country and starred in his own play.
Other actresses who achieved distinc-
tion in the famous role o, Julia were
Miss Vincent, Miss Wheatley, Miss Phil
ipps and Mis- Jarman. Mrs. Anna Cora
Mowatt. Mrs. Coleman Pope and Adel-
aide Nelson. In later years Clara Nor
ris, Jul1 Marlowe and Ada Rchan have
been seen as Julia in THE Hunchback."
The character Of Julia throughout this
play p -ants lone of the most con-
summf feminine portraits ever de-
picted any dramatist Miss Aliens
support ting company is one Of particular
excellence. Mr.. Eben Plynpton will I'm
personatc Master Walter, father of the
wayward Julia; Jameson Lee Finney will
be the Cousin Modus; Aubrey Bouci-
cault will be the Sir Thomas Clifford.
Julia's sweetheart; c. Leslie Allen will
play Fathom. and Adelaide Prince will
appear as Helen.

An Unusually Clever Child Actress.

Alma Morrison. who appeared as Lit
tie William. one of the children in East
Ly1ne." at the Academy of Music last
week, is one Of the cleverest child ac-
trcsses seen on local stage for some
time.
The role intrusted 10 little Miss Nor
risen was a small one. but her interpre-
;ation proved that she Is capable OF far
better things. When a player has the
ability to make small part prominent,
then orc may lock for something out of
the ordinary when the same player is
given more pret.ntious part.
Little Miss Morrison has been en-
gagged for The Fatal Wedding next
season. and will then have an opportu-
nifty to display her talents more fully.
