Chase's.

With a program teeming with good things
and an auditorium that was spick and span
after the summer house cleaning and reno
walton. Chase's popular playhouse was
opened yesterday for the season of 1918
The audiences at both the matinee and
evening performances taxed the theater to
it's capacity, and the hearty applause that
greeted the several vaudeville numbers gave
evidence that the management was cater
ing successfully to the public taste Myriad
electric fans whizzed merrily and sent cur
rents Of cooling air through the house,
while the asbestos outer curtain in nile
highly colored painting, was both pleasing
and restful to the eyes. The other effects
throughout the theater in maroon, oak
gold and gray, under an illumination
picturesque and tasteful. An addition to
the picture were the bustling ushers in
their semi-naval officers uniforms Of snowy
white.
The headliners OF the program were clearly
Grgolatis aerial ballet and the clever and
wonderful work of Clara Ballerini in her
aerial act. The ballet presents a number
Of pretty air pictures with the apparently
winged women making picturesque flights
and striking pretty poses in midair, to
which was added the whrring flight Of
the white doves as the birds of peace fut-
tered down from the dome of the theater
and perched upon the shoulders and heads
of the fair dancers. The act is similar in
some respects to that which was brought
from Germany by Klaw and Erlanger and
presented IN their spectacular productions.
The work of Clara Ballerini, danseuse.
on the flying trapeze. where she exhibited
wonderful powers of balancing on the
swinging and twisting bar while she sang
and played on the mandolin, was that Of a
graceful artist, and she was the recipient
| of deserved applause at frequent intervals.
Walter Daniels. in his impersonations of
noted actors in scenes from famous plays,
making the changes in the presence Of the
audience, was also in the headliner class.
| Other numbers the varied program,

g. p. o. CORRESPONDENCE
Corps Of Men to Handle Letters and
Similar Work.

A new photograph" or telephone system
Is being installed at the government print
ing office to handle the official correspond
ence and typewrting for the entire plant
The new scheme includes stations through
out the building where letters or memo
randa can be dictated to the correspondence
room over the telephone. The receiver re-
sembles a small instrument case with a
dial in the center. It is claimed that every
sound Is plainly carried over the wire to
the correspondence room from distance Of
fifteen feet from the receiver.
In the correspondence room the typist
will be provided with head-piece similar
to that worn by telephone operators, and
when a call is sent in the chief stenog-
rapher will switch the dictator onto the
wire Of an unemployed operator. who will
make the shorthand notes and then tran
scribe them as If in the presence Of the
party debating the letter. 1t is hoped to
not only create a uniform correspondence,
but relieve some of the stenographers who
are at present crowded at certain hours of
the day.

THE THEAT E R.
Belasco.

For the concluding week Of the most sue
cessful summer season Washington has
ever known the Belasco Stock Company Of
fers The Marriage Of Kitty" a delightful
comedy of simple and amusing plot es-
pecially adapted to the taste Of a summer
audience. The play is from the French by
Cosmo Gordon Lennox, and Is the one pro-
duced with great success by Marie Tenn
pest both in this country and in England.
In the play the rich uncle Of Sir Reginald
Belsize has died, leaving him a vast for
tune by will of such peculiar terms that
Sir Reginald must be married upon a GER
tain date. But it is stipulated that the lady
OF his choice must be neither Peruvian
nor a widow. AS it happens, his lordsbip Is
In love with Madame De Semaniano who
possesses both of these undesirable quail
fications. and SO, in order to obtain the
fortune, John Travers, solicitor, arranges
temporary marriage for Sir Reginald
which shall be annulled a year or SO after
ward.
Miss Charlotte Walker plays the part OF
htty' the temporary wife, who, in order
that she may not arouse the jealousy Of the
PERUVIAN widow. attempts to make herself
unattractive by twisting her skirts, disar-
ranging her hair and DOMINIC pair of
spectacies. While the change is sufficiently
oisnSur1ng for the purpose Of the play, 1t
would be useless for Miss Walker to try to
MAKE herseif unattractive to Washington
Tor not seeing through the disguise. OF
course, as the play progresses, his lords...p
sees the true Kitty and falls in love with
ner, so that Madame De Seminiam Is forced
to give up Belsize and return to q previ-
ousiy Tilted and scarcely less wealthy lover
for consolation.
As Sir Reginald Belsize. Alfred Hudson,
r., presents delightful comedy role John
dravers, the solicitor, Is portrayed by Guy
Soombs to excellent advantage, and Alice
Butler as the designing Peruvian widow
gives the part her usual artistic touch,
II H OF course. Unnecessary to say that
Miss walker as the temporary wife fulflls
every requirement Of the role. and again
concentrated that she has a decided forte
ior hght comedy. AS Katherine Silverton
her 1ngenue work was charmingly por-
trayed. and she will say "au revoir'' to her
legion OF admirers in Washington on Satur-
day evening, leaving a most delightful i'm
preston of her cleverness as an artistic
Aside from few crudities always present
IN first productions the play Is very accepta-
Die and amusing in every particular.
At the conclusion Of this weeks engage
ment, which Is the fifteenth week of the
season. Miss Walker will go Immediately to
New York, where she will begin rehearstng
under David Belasco for the new play writ
ten especially for her, in which she is to
star next year.

HAS SECRET OF GOLD
WOMAN CLAIMS TO HAVE CHART
POINTING WAY TO $4,000,O00.
Money Belonged to Dom Paul Kruger
and Was Hidden by Friend IN
the Transvaal.

NEW YORK, May 20. The woman
who can keep a secret has been found.
The secret is one of milions-S4, 100000,
to be precise. 1t concerns the present
whereabouts of Kruger's gold.
She is Nine. Marie Won Neltheim, wife
or maybe the widow-of Ludwig Won
Weltheim, the man who buried crafty old
Dom Paufs millions when he fled from
the Transvaal just before Lord Roberts
occupied Pretoria.
Nine. Won Nelthcim had duplicate
chart on which were marked the spots
where the gold was buried. 1t was not
sunk at sea in the wreck OF the Lulu-
land, as some would nave 1t. Nor was
1t taken TO Europe as others insisted.
Neither was it let down beneath the Wa
ters OF the ocean in iron chests.
1t was carefully buried in the dead OF
night i'll the mountains of the Trans
vaal, just before Kruger escaped TO hu'
rope. 1t was not put III one spot-hru-
ger didn't want to leave all MS eggs III
one basket. The gold was rs carefully d.
vided into four parts On all there was
about 5000. 900. 50 each part was from
S1,0OOUOO to S1,5UU.OOO. OF this one
part has been found by John Kemp.
The woman, If she hnds her husband
is dead, will begin search for the treas
IRE spot. She does not know whether ne
Is still living in the Iransvaal or has dled
since leaving her.
