Chase's Theater.

In the bill at Chases next week will be
found the Eight Vassar Girls, the Toozoo-
min Arabs, Georgia Gardner, Joseph Mad
dern and company, and Raymond and Cav
erly; while in less distinguished places
will be Howard Brothers, Poulton and Do
ley, Carlos and the motion pictures The
Eight Vassar Girls present an act which
contains a little of everything lively, lumi-
nous and melodious. The girls are describ-
ed as exceptionally attractive types of their
class, and their presentation is said to be
marked by all the vim and variety that the
show girl gives to the musical comedy
The act includes a series of diverting special
ties of the instrumental, vocal and terpsi-
chorean kind, closing with a grand finale
entitled, THE Garden of the Fairies" a
spectacular electric ballet. The Toozoonin
Arabs are genuine swarthy sons of Sahara
They were brought here recently from
Africa, as it is believed that they are the
finest physical specimens and the most ex-
pert athletes to be found among the wan
dering tribes. Wonderful pyramidal tab
leauX occur, and the whole feature is re-
garded possessing those picturesque and
novel elements that will cause it to be
classed with the memorable vaudeville at
fractions. Georgia Gardner Joseph Mad
dern and company will present brand-new
farcette, "a Rise in Rye" by VIII NJ.

Chicago widow, Joseph Madden. a New

CRANES NEW CHARACTER-Whe a

at least, very good reasons. Why william
III. Crane gave up the depicting of comedy
types of character this season for serious
work, after having for forty years earned
laurels and applause as a deineator or
comic roles has seemed to some OF his fol-
lowers very peculiar. Many people VINO
have seen and applauded the actors inn

mitted both the strength of the play ana
the merit of it's unfolding, have still won

time forsaken comedy. one reason assign
ed for the actors change of base was that
II was impossible to secure satisfactory
comedies for his use that contained a little
sense and dash of humor. This is true
only in a measure. Mr. Crane planted the
seed that led to his securing business Is
Business little over a year ago 1t was
during conversation with Charles Froh-
man that hinged on the value of certain
plays then under discussion.

THE critics simply consider me as an I'M
personator of American types. Suppose we
produce this comedy. They will say the

mains a Crane type. Another thing that
am constantly hearing is that the play Is
weak, but Crane saves IT. Good heavens,
what wouldn't / give to get a play so
strong I'm itself that II would be head and
shoulders over any work of mine that l
could put into it."
There was a little pause after this, and
as actor and manager were about to part
Mr.. Frohman remarked that he had just
received a strong, serious play that had
had production abroad. and that he felt II
was in tho province of any really good
actor TO make a sensation In IT.. "Wouldn't
you like to read it7' he asked. Crane said
that he would. When he started home nc

A week later the actor called on the man

MUSIC

The week before Christmas Is not regard
ed with confidence by theatrical managers
but the engagement of the Savage opera
Company at the Columbia Theater has been
one Of exceptional brilliancy. A judiciously
selected repertory was presented by singers
OF genuine attainments, proved an attrac-
ton of rare interest for the music lovers OF
this city, and the operas were presented
with n completeness of detail which pre-
served the dramatic interest which is so
frequently sacrificed when foreign singers
are placed on tour. As a distinctly Amer
lean enterprise this opera company Is one TO
be regarded with the highest gratificatlon1
for it attests not only sincere and capable
managerial effort, but public appreciation
as well. The engagement of last season
was a revelation of the possibilities of En-
glish grand opera, and the patronage of the
current week has been guarantee that the
promises of that occasion are regarded as
fulfilled.

Indiana are still populists; and be-

party the moment the Gorman-Cleve-
