novelty at Chase's this week. 1t is claimed

the girl with the baton is a novel figure In
the leaders chair during the presentation.
The octet plays the martial airs OF the
English Russians and Americans. Wilfred
Clarke will signal!ze his return to Chase's
with another adaptation from the French.
1t is said to be the funniest farce that
Mr.. Clarke has yet found The Five
Mowatts will be the third principal attrac-

trio of acrobatic contortionists, Ziska and
King, comic magic and mystery, and mo-
ton pictures make up a varied list of fea-
lures.
