Chase's-POiitc Vaudeville.

Mr.. Chase has prepared an attractive
bill to succeed the one that is proving
30 popular this week. Mile. Adgie and
her group of Ieaping liens Will form the
leading feature. She has never been seen
here before, and her act comes with all
the eclat of great success won in other
cities. Prince. Victoria, and Trilby are
the names of the three beasts among
which Adgie thrusts herself and pin 0uettes
and sings as il unconscious of any dan
ger. The most striking part is where she
puts her head in a lions mouth.
The Misses Delmore Company will pre-
sent The Bridegroom's Reyerie." de-
scribed as one OF the quaintest and most
delightful ideas exploited in vaudeville
jess" Dandy will be seen for the first
time at Chasc's. and will offer some new
PAROLES. Jessie Couthoui, who sings
dances. and recites, is another newcomer.
The four Collins, with their eccentric
tCurbiilon dance and dance a la biograuh
are fresh from Europe, and are said to be
somewhat extraordinary. Crawford and
Stanley will be seen in strong comedy
specially. and Brannan and Martini viii
contribute an act satirizing modern ma
gicians. Clayton Kennedy and Matte
Rooney, the latter a daughter of the IA
nous Pat" Rooney, will present comic
farce. in which they will exhibit some
original dancing and plano pyrotechnics.
Academy-'.On the Suyynnce River"
There is no place so far north in the
United States that audiences do not cheer
when bands strike up Dixie nor where
they do not express hearty'approval when
old aunties and colored mammies are
faithfully portrayed before them. At the
Academy OF Music next week, with the
regular matinees. will be given W. E.
Sterlirs's On the Suwanee River" now
in its fifth year.
"On the Suwanee River" is devoid of
everything that is not true TO the people
of Dixieland. There are no locomotives
running about nor mechanical effects to
interrupt what otherwise is local lore. A
blind girl is left an orphan, scheming rel
atives seek to have her married to
wretched old miser. telling the girl the
while that he is youthful, rich, and the
son of neignboring planter Aunt Indy,
a colored nanny, has much to do with
thwarting the design.
