Chase's New Grand.

Robert Hilliard and capable company in
a new playlet, entitled Number 973,'' are
the chief attraction in this weeks bill at
Chase'S New Grand. 1t is far and away
the most pretentious sketch that has been
put Unto vaudeville for several years. its
chief charm being in the fact that all the
people connected with the piece are actors
In the real sense of the word Mr.. Hilliard
needs little mention, as his work last night
was fully up to his standard The sketch
tells of an ex-convict who has tried and
failed to get work, and who takes to rob-
berry to gain food. The day before the
playlet opens the eX-cOnvict has rescued
the little daughter of the house he is about
to burglarize from the hoofs of a runaway
horse. The father has tried in vain to gain
information of the rescuer. The ex-cOnvict
is caught as he is about to rob the desk
and in a thrilling scene the owner of the
house sits down to telephone and calls the
police. With pistol cooked and ready at
hand. the story of the convict's life is then
Wormed from the convict, and the owner
goes out to let in the police. While he is
gone the little daughter comes down the
stairway and seeing mo. 973' recognizes
him as her rescuer of the day before. The
father returns noiselessly and overhears
the conversation. The police then come in,
but are turned back with the information
that the man wanted has escaped. and
happy curtain follows. Mr.. Edwin Hol-

Lafayette.

1.-The Girl and the Judge" was performed
at the Lafayette last night, the presenting
company being headed by Eleanor Montell.
Miss Montcll is a daughter of Eugenia
Blair. and her performance last night gives
every reason to believe that the histrionic
gifts of her family have descended to her
Harry Keenan, gave a smooth performance
of the judge and was easy, as was Beatrice
Thorne, who enacted the role of his mother
Louise Dempsey had no trouble in making
her character of the landlady stand out in
humorous style. The play is one of the
most popular and effective of the Clyde
Fitch creations. and it was received last
night in a manner which indicates that
there is still a field open to 1t in which to
win favor.

Academy Of Music.

The comedy DRAMA only Shop Girl"
which scored a hit in this city last season,
CIened a weeks engagement at the Acad-
emy last evening before a large audience.
The attraction has lost none of it's inter-
esting features since it's last appearance.
The scenes are well staged and elaborate,
the one showing large department store,
full of busy shoppers, being quite realistic.
There is strong vein of comedy inter-
woven throughout the performance. The
story of the play, which is an interesting
one deals with a saleslady who is persa-
cuted by an INSCRIPTIONS f1oorwalker. Miss
Lottie Williams, the street waif who made
a favorable impression here last year, and
who is the star of the performance, re-
ceived an ovation on her appearance last

offering at the Empire this week. 1t is
apparent that there lack of funds
when the play was staged scenery and
other spectacular effects bear the name of
the best-known scenic artists of the the
atrical world. The costumes, like the
scenery, were gotten up to please the fan
tastic eye and are worthy of special notice.
The majority of the members of the COM
pany are known to the clientele of the
Empire and received an enthusiastic well
come from the capacity audience which
witnessed the play yesterday afternoon and
last evening.
The play is laid in Honolulu, and tells of
the trials and tribulatons of one G. WASH
ington Bullion. ansAmerican millionaire, in
search of his lost ward. His obligation as
a member of the Independent Order of
Royal BOOSTERS provokes hearty laughter.
The play is replete with the latest songs

sold Arkansaw."

Arkansaw as a state has become
far-famed in many and various
ways, partly from her many and
valuable products, and greatly
from the picturesque characters
tics of the natives of the "Ozarks". +.
These folk have figured in song
and story to such an extent that
every intelligent citizen is more or
less acquainted with their eccen-
tricities, and most popular sense
of humor. Fred Raymond, author
of that famous comedy, "The
Missouri Girl" spent several
months among the backwoods peo-
pie, and succeeded in reproducing
the most interesting of them In his
new melU-dramatic comedy cold
Arkansaw. Many finely drawn
character study, and a truly o.
ark atmosphere makes the play
doubly delightful. A special ar
tist accompanied Mr.. Raymond,
and the scenery in the big produc-
ton is reproduced from actual
sketches and photographs. The
story of the play is an interesting
one founded on facts, and told in
a most charming and clever man

by capable company will appear
