Chase's Theater.

Wild beasts of the jungle, a former star
of comic opera, a family of musicians, a
juggler, a pantommist, vocalist, the por-
trayers of a comic sketch and living pic
lures constitute the bill this week at
Chase's Theater. The "headliner" is Mile
Adgie and her den of performing lions
She has been seen here before. but her act
has lost none of it's thrilling features, and
the daring tanner continues to handle the
huge beasts as though they were kittens,
notwithstanding their ferocious demeanor
The lions are fed Immediately after the
conclusion of the regular performances
and last evening the greater portion of the
audience remained in the theater to witness
the animals devour huge chunks of raw
meat. Digby Bell, the comic opera come
dian, is announced as special feature
AT first he was almost unrecogniZable in
conventional evening attire, when he ap-
neared for a stereotyped talk act Mr.
Bell told of his supposed experiences as
the clerk at an information booth in a
railroad passenger station He sings a
patriotic song that includes a few bars
of Should Aud Acquaintance Be For
got'' and then delivers a novel race horse
recitation. The six musical Cuttings, be-
cause of their numbers and attachments,
more than fulfilled expectations, and they
were compelled to respond to repeated en-
cores of a most determined character.
With the assistance of the orchestra, the
Cuttings gave renditions of some of the
most successful encore numbers in the rep
ertoire of Sousa's Band Eldora is Jug
gler of exceptional ability; Kelly and Ash

tional features; Marion Carson, prima
donna soprano, renders operate selections
effectively, and Fey and Clarke appear,
with entertaining results, in comic skit,
entitled "Old Curiosity Shop" The mo-
ton pictures are of arctic scenes.

George A. Webster Institutes Proceed
ings Against Cereal Company.

Proceedings in equity for injunction, have
been instituted in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia by George A. Webster
against the Washington Steel Cut Cereal
Company, because of the alleged insol-
vency Of the defendant. 1t is explained by
the complainant that he is the owner Of
the company's stock to the amount of $685.
O0O, and is also a creditor in the sum of
SOL 46 He charges that since The begin
ming of operations the company has been
steadily operated at a financial loss, and
that the business, which has not been over
So 000 gross per month, yielding profit on
that amounting to from 10 to u per cent,
the running expenses have been from $500
to $500 per month. The interest money paid
on bonds il is added, has had to be bor-
with suits at law. Being nonresident
corporation, it is pointed out its assets
may be attached before Judgment 1t is
further set forth that besides the ma
chinery and plant owned by the company.
it owns lots 3, 4, 5, 6, Z and 8, block 9,
subdivision of lot 3, Kenilworth, and seven
lots adjoining that tract. The liabilities,
the complainant says, will amount to about
$40 600, without more than $4,000 of as
sets. Mr. Webster insists that unless the
company's affairs are placed In the hands
of receiver, and distribution is made I'M
der orders Of the court, both the creditors
and stockholders will suffer considerable

sent the complainant.

New NatisAaI Theater.

The Duke OF Killierankie," as played by
John Drew at the New National Theater
last night. proved to be Q mild and sun
shiny bit of comedy, ar, asthe program des-
ignates it. .'farcical romance." It is assur-
ediy more farcical than remantic, for the
dukes abduction of . LADY, and her impris-
onment cannot be taken seriously even for
the purposes of the@playvright. It is an
airy and roilick1ng bit Of extravaganza, not
fine enough for satire nor broad enough for
burlesque, but sufficient for the purposes of
an acting company whose principal mem
bers are Mr.. Drew, Ferdinand Gottschalk,
Fanny Brough and Margaret Dale. In spite
OF the English comedian except in the de-
!1neatlon of refined social types who have
besleged these shores Mr. Drew has sue
ceeded in holding his enviable place undis-
turped- he Is no mawkish and languid-
eyed matinee star; and vet his attraction is
greatly due to the Instructive faith which
an aud1ence feels in the correctness of his
attire and department In the title role of
this new play Mr.. Drew displays the same
easy and unassuming qualities which have
heretofore won him applause. His charac-
ter Is hardly an heroic one indeed, none of
the characters is very admirable from an
ethical point Of view. But all are whimsical
ana amusing. Ferdinand Gottschalk has
the part of a fortune hunting member of
parliament, whose courtship of q tyran-
meal widow. splendidly played by Fanny
Brough, is as laughable as 1t is unconven-
aonai Mr.. Gottschalk let's no chance for
comedy escape him, and his scenes with
Miss Brough are highly essential incidents
IN the evenings diversion. Miss Margaret
Dale is an actress of resonant voice and
studlous methods, who played the leading
role with picturesque effect
The Duke of killicrankie' does not as

LAFAYETTE Theater,

ME, Him and ~ Hurtig & Seamons
musical farce in three acts and 5000 laughs,
began a weeks engagement at the Lafay-
cite Theater last night. The plot of the
play-concerning the remarkable adven-
lures of a free-spending western millionaire
who takes an entire opera company to the
Klondike for amusement-isn't worth
bothering about save as 1t serves to carry
along the action, and as background for
the adventures and mishaps and fooleries
of the three comedians, and for the dane
ing specialties of efficient chorus.
George Bickel, Harry Watson, jr., and Ed
ward Lee Worth, as U. Kahn, Dusty Daw
son and Con Coon, kept the audience either
smiling or snickering roaring with
laughter almost every minute of the time
The fun is largely of slap-stick variety
and foolish beyond words, but as a laugh
producer was a success.
Gertrude Hoffman, whose work is we'll
known in Washington. made the hit of the
play in the role of Seattle Sal" Miss
Hoffman's specialtes were novel and her
dancing extremely graceful
Miss Marion Stanley sang well and her
efforts helped to balance some of the
frothier portions of the entertainment The
play is deliberately equipped with scenery
and costumes and some of the chorus eff
fects were exceptionally novel. The chorus
was we'll drilled and efficient.

Columbia Theater.

There are several unique things about
Little Johnny JONES' the new musical
play presented at the Columbia Theater
last evening. One novel feature is
that George M. Cohan not only wrote
the book and lyrics and composed the
music for the piece, but that he is
the star of the production as well as
one of the producers. Another unique fea-
ture, and one which in this day of plotless
musical comedies seems almost remarka-
BILE, Is that the play has real plot; not in
tricate nor burdensome, but a well-defined
story In which the interest of the audience
is not entirely dissipated by the dances and
ditties of the chorus and principals Mr..
Conan has provided play much above the
average of its kind, characterized by some
really clever and funny dialogue and
sparkling repartee, while several of the mu-
steal numbers are genuinely catchy. The
audience, which taxed the seating capacity
Of the playhouse, was enthusiastic in ex-
pressing its approval of the piece, and Mr..
Conan was called before the curtain for a
short speech But 1t is not detracting from
Mr.. Cohan's laurels to say that in alotting
to himself the role of Johnny Jones, the
American jockey he has generously sur
rendered the part that commands the bulk
of attention to Mr.. Tom Lewis, who makes
a distinct hit as the bibulous detective. Mr..
Lewis representation of this character was
a splendid piece of work and by his
unctuouS methodS ne proVokeS round after
round of laughter and applause. Mr.. Sam
j. Ryan, a former partner in vaudeville of
Mr.. Lewis. also had good part as Timothy
MCGEE, a New York politician, and Truly
Shattuck appeared to advantage as a fe-
male reporter. The audience also heartily
approved of the work of Ethel Levy. the
heireSs, who maSqueraded as a French girl
and as the Earl of Bloomsbury, in male at
tire. Helen F. Conan, bent upon reforming
the Chinese, and Jerry j. Conan, an Amer
lean sport. also contributed tolthe enjoy
ment of the performance,
The piece is splendid1y mounted and a
novel effect is produced at the close of the
second act, where across a. darkened stage
brilliantly lighted steamer sending up
rockets is seen at sea- ~ -
