ChaSe's,

choice bit of Shakespeare sandwiched
between modern farce and an Irish mon
ologue might offend those delicate natured
disciples of the bard who see everywhere
evidences of the decadence of the drama
but it furnishes at Chase's this week an
excellent illustration of the spirit of this
age where the man who pays his money has
an infinite variety to choose from. 1t was
a far cry from Bradshaw and Company in
Fix in a Fix to Odette Tyler and Com
pany In king John, but the two audiences
that witnessed the fight yesterday after
noon and evening did net seem disturbed.
Indeed the introduction of Shakespeare to
vaudeville audience in the form of a
specially selected act from one of the
greatest plays was well received and it's in
depreciation by Miss Tyler and her assist
ants was heartily applauded. The success
of the scheme of presenting twenty minutes
of classic drama to the crowd surfeited
with monologues. songs and dances, seems
assured The bit selected for the first per-
Torrance here was the scene between HUI
bert and young Prince Arthur. The action
that takes place before the scene presented
in full, is very prettily explained in a
prologue written by Cecil livingstone and
spoken by Jessie Shirley. Miss Tyler as
Prince Arthur was all that could be ex-
pected Her experience in the field of
Shakespearian drama has been extensive
and her work gave evidence of careful
preparation. George ID. NcQuarrie was cast
as Hubert, and William Cole and Samuel
Turner also appeared in the piece. Chase's
menu this week contains such variety
that the most eXacting ought to find some
thing 10 please. The bill includes Charmon,
whose disrobing act on the trapeze has be-
come so familiar and is so deftly done
that II seems almost wholesome; Walter
c. Kelly. an Irish comedian. who creates
laughs by his darby court room stories:
Charles H.. Bradshaw and Company. who

Released From Custody.

Minnie Sagel, a young Bohemian girl. who
was sentenced to pay fine of $50 spend
sixty days In jail for larceny by Judge
KimbaI in the Police Court recently was
released from custody yesterday through
the aid of several charitable persons who
took an interest in her case. She was en-
ployed by Louis Hofenmaier as a domes-
TIC and it was alleged she took clothing
belonging to his wife.
Minnie stated that the clothing was given
her, but she also had some knives and
forks from a North German Lloyd steamer
which the prosecution claimed We're stolen
but which were Ia ter found had been given
her.
The bureau of immi2ra ton was called
upon to deport her but after investigating
the case reported it could do nothing Her
release followed further investigations

Columbia Theater.

10 the personality of Chauncey Olcott
ana his singing of Irish songs, the audience
mat witnessed the performance of Ter
ence, at the Columbia Theater last even
ing owed their principal enjoyment. This
actors name is linked with numerous past
successes in romantic plays that have
drawn upon Ireland for their scenes and in
c1dents. The audience at the Columbia last
night seemed satisfied to see Mr. Olcott In
play that affords him opportunity to dis
play his pleasing brogue and sweet tenor
voice, and also permits him to pet the chill
dren, make love to a pretty girl and, Incl
dentally, to administer physical punishment
to the villain. Mr.. Olcott composes his own
sorgs The play is dramatiZation from a
novel by Mrs. B. NJ. Croker, made by Mrs.
Edmund n. Morgan, and in some portions
II has tendency to the melodramatic
while the dialogue frequently relapses into
the commonplace. 1t would take at least
all OF one mans time and most careful at
teht1on to live up to the reputation spoken
for Terence by his associate players at the
very outset of the piece. Terence has set
the whole countryside ringing with his
praises. He is the last of an old Irish fam
lily, and has been cheated out of his vast
hereditary estates by the Vaccinations of
a shrewd lawyer. In the guise and occupa-
ton OF coachman he returns from his
Wanderings to his native county and sets
himself to win back his lands. The secret,
1t appears, is too good to keep, for from
the first act practically everybody concern
ed, with the exception of the shrewd law
yer and the young lady deeply interested in
Terence, knows that the coachman is 1.-THE
last of the Desmonds,'' and there is no
doubt in the mind of the auditors as to the
final happy outcome.
Mr.. OlcottS performance was character
istic. and he made all of his part that was
possible. Miss Marguerite Hayden was an
attractive heroine, and Mat b. Snyder did
some good work as the old bodyguard of
Terence. An interesting feature of the per-
Torrance was the work of John Cough and
Blanche Alexander. the little sweet
hearts,, who proved to be clever little
folks.

F1REMEN's COFFEE FUND.
Contribution Of $40 Received by Com
missioner Mcfarland.

Commissioner Mcfarland received today
a contribution Of $50 from Mrs Mamie e.
Norment to the firemen's coffee fund which
he established three years ago. This is the
largest contribution received this season.
In this wintry weather the hot coffee and
sandwiches provided for the firemen when
ever considerable fire occurs and the men
are much exposed means not only comfort
for them, but efficiency for the depart
ment.
As this promises to be a severe winter
Commissioner Macfarland hopes that con-
siderable additions will be made to the
coffee fund. In addition to everything else
1t is considered a safeguard to the firemen
chilled by the cold and perhaps drenched
with water. at fires, especially at night.
The fund is carefully husbanded. being
used only when there is evident necessity
for IL. 1t Is not public fund. and depends
entirely upon the contributions of various
philosophical citizens.

Court Couldn't Hold Him.

Detective Peck was hurrying along D

stopped by a stranger and asked If he want
ed to buy gold ring.
This is a fine gold ring said the stran-
ger, exhibiting ring he was wearing. I'll
let you have it for So, and a pawnbroker
will let you have $3.50 on it
The detective saw that the ring was worth
about 5 cents and arrested the stranger.
The latter gave his name Charles p.
Lavender and admitted that he had been
arrested more than a score of times in con-
nection with the sales of the rings He was
tried in the Police Court this morning an
alleged vagrant
Judge O'Neal said he could not hold him
on the charge of vagrancy, but thought
there ought to be some way to stop the sale
of cheap jewelry in this way. Lavender

stationery. He was released

From the Ashes.

The visitor to Baltimore today scarcely
realizes that less than a year ago the city
was almost destroyed by memorable
fire. A similar comparison might be made
by George w. Nally, one of the leading
citizens Of Baltimore, as to the change in
his own looks.
A short time ago Mr.. Nally, writing
from his home address, 2213 Barclay St,
says: Il have been troubled for years with
catarrh and had resorted to all remedies
that could be thought of. My wife was
also afflicted with this terrible disease,
but all the treatments We used were an
absolute failure until we tried Hyomei.
1t worked like charm and has made a
complete cure in both of our cases.
Henry Evans, the local agent for Hyo-
mel. has so much faith in the treatment
that he gives his personal guarantee to
refund the money in case it does not
benefit. A complete outfit costs one dol
lar, the extra bottles are but fifty cents.
Ask to see the strong guarantee under
which Hyomei is sold.
