Columbia.

Kellar. the magician, gave the opening
performance of his farewell appearance last
evening at the Columbia Theater, where
with strange tricks of magic and sleight Of
hand he defied detection on the part Of the
audience. at the same time explaining that
all was done by trickery. He had wealth of
novelties in store for his audience, and
after each, when they seemed puzzled he
fairly beamed with pleasure. Paul Vala-
don, from England's home Of mystery, the
Egyptian Hall of London, conducted the
second part of the performance and did
many clever things. The line of sleight of
hand, pulling coins out of the hair and alb
stracting half a dozen eggs from the mouth
of an assistant: Kellar's work in causing
the Princess Karmac," a young maid, to
float in the air at his command after he
had placed her in an alleged hypnotic state
delighted the audience. This he explained
had been picked up in India after long and
careful study Of the methods employed by
the high-caste Hindus.
In the third part Kellar gave his latest
production one-act sketch of the days in
Merrie England, when superstition and
witchcraft were rampant. THE Witch, the
Sailor and the Enchanted Monkey is the
title. and the sketch tells in detail the
story of the Incarceration Of a jolly tar in
the village lookup. After his sweetheart
had vainly begged for his release an old
witch prOnounces an Incarnation, and when
the doors are opened a moment later the
sailor has disappeared, monkey on mis-
chief intent makes his appearance and
causes the magistrate all kinds of trouble.

: Chase's,

Comedy on large scale is offered at
Chases this week, the opening perform.
ances yesterday meeting with much ap-
prevail from two large audiences. 1.-THE Jay
Circus" a nonsensical imitation of a coun-
try circus audience, the Zingari operate
troupe, in a sketch Of gypsy life" and the
Mullen and Corelli team in a very clever
and entertaining tumbling act, are strong
opponents for the honors of being termed
the feature acts. The former sketch is
ridiculously funny. Very little is seen Of
any circus performing, except for the ap-
pearance of a clown, whose lines are quite
short but nevertheless comic. Most of the
amusement is furnished by two twin broth
er .'Rubens," who are in attendance at the
circus. Just before the act is concluded the
audience is vastly amused by the fall of
the benches. which are constructed for the
mimic crowd, on which are about twenty
Washington boys characterized as country
folks. Other acts which shared consider
ably in winning approval are Melville Ellis,
the popular composer. with his piano
logue;" Ford and spohr, singing comedians,
Dora Martini, aerial gymnast, and Tredo
and Dare.

Belasco.

Elm The Love Route" Guy Standing and
Odette Tyler as joint stars have their work
cut out for them at the start. The Love
Route proves to be a road whose difficulties
and dangers might well daunt the courage
of the stoutest hearts did they not know
that a kindly author would bring things to
a felicitous finale 1.-The Love Route is a
railroad play. The railroad is the T. NJ &
N. and the trouble it occasions all parties
concerned in its construction makes it a
worthy second to the course of true love-
according to the adage.
The locale of the play in general is Texas
The first scene, however, is in the New York
offices of the T. M. & N. The real action
does not begin there, although the fact Of a
young woman swapping her fingers saucily
beneath the very nose of railroad presi-
dent In his own office and before a quar-
tet Of his own directors is promising. This
she does because the railroad president
dares affront her by Offering to buy for
$50, 600 the right of way through one end of
Blacksnake ranch, Of which property the
young woman is sole owner and boss. Some
years before the T. NJ. & N. had secured
the privilege, but with the provision that
the road was to be completed within speci-
fed time. Through some oversight this was
not done, and barely two months remain
when the play opens. Opposition on the
part of Miss Houston, the boss of the
ranch, and determination on the part of the
railroad constructors headed by John Ashby,
the engineer in charge, provides the theme
of the production and offers ample oppor-
tunity for some striking and imposing
scenic effects and many superthrilling cpl
sodes. The construction gang working at
night by the flare Of torches is bit of real
ism seldom equaled. There are times when
interest in the development of the story is
permitted to languish while matters of small
or no Importance mainly In the line of trite
comedy are allowed to intrude in a manner
quite inexcusable. The play is of the six
shooter order and it requires the efforts of a
capable company to prevent it's being melo-
drama of the deepest dye.
The stars were greeted with much ap-
plause and were the recipients Of many cur
tain calls. The play is not quite what might
be expected at the hands OF Mr.. Peple the
author of THE Prince Chap"

she was no longer able to check her tears

dreadful. 1 used many kinds Of patent medicines
