Chn.e,.-Po1ite Vaudeville.

The bill at Chase's this week is excep-
tionally good. and contains a diversity OF
interesting acts that compare favorably
with any seen at this house during the
season. The Empire City Quartet. con-
sidered 10 be The best singing quartet on
the vaudeville stage. are the top liners.
and succeeded IN arousing the audience TO
an ovation pitch by their harmonious
blending OF melody, heightened by topical
comedy.
THE Operator" highly dramatic play

and Miss Clara Knott tells the story OF
an operator. who being on duty almost
three consecutive days, becomes befud-
died and gives a train wrong orders
thereby endangering the lives Of the pas
sengers. The piece Is dramatic in the
extreme, and gives both players an ex-
celent opportunity to display their his
trionlc abilities. Seymour and Hill have
a clever and effective acrobatic novelty
that was well received.
Edward BIondel and company are pre-
senting The Lost Boy" again this sea
son. and IT seems to have grown better
with age.
Altmont and Dumont presented a mu-
steal act that was good and Barry and
Hughes appeared in what they termed a
slang classic, but which turned out to be
one Of the so-called Bowery sidewalk
specialties.
Seedback. the well-known punching bag

hibitlons with numerous punching bags,

AT LOCAL PLAYHOUSES

British aristocracy may not be long"
on morals, but no one ever accused them
Of being short on manners, or not at home
and at their ease in the society OF the fair
Sex. Mr. Robertson hardly once struck the
right note in his Characterization. The
work OF Mr.. Ralph Kellard was a pleas
ant contrast TO that OF the other men In
the company. In looks and in bearing he
conveyed the illusion OF Lord Robert
Wyckham. and his performance was very
satisfying.
The rest Of the cast was fairly ade-
quate. though no one did work that
called for much praise, unless II was.

eccentric servant in the last act, and
did rather well. She might bear in mind
that Grosvenor Square is pronOunceG as
II the first three letters belong to grove"
not TO "groyel" Outside OF this par
dOnable slip, her accent was very good.
On the whole, the performance was a
pleasing one, and Il was evidently en-
joyed. An innovation at the Belasco is
the doing away with the orchestra; the
place OF the musicians Is filed with ever
greens. Between the acts now real con-
versation Is possible.
Miss Walker has no reason to COM
plain OF the warmth Of her welcome last
night. At her first appearance on the
stage the applause was prolonged, and
at the end OF the second act she was
literally showered with flowers.

POINT OF VIEW

think we were much more comfortable
before we knew so much about germs.
We are obliged from the very nature OF
things. 10 live on more or less terms OF
intimacy with them. but the knowledge
Of their presence is scarcely pleasant.

can do. and II the stomach is the least

are rather disturbing.
I have often been told that II I could
see the kitchens Of some Of the eating
places and the manner OF preparing and
cooking the food, I would never be able
to eat another mouthful in any OF them.
Well, I never want to see them. but I
happen to have a lively imagination and
1t works at uncomfortable periods. In
my own home I have the water used
for cooking and drinking purposes care

less care is exercised. I have an eye
to ventilation. also. but travel in cars
which are close and stuffy and my dis
comfort is doubled because I know too
much about germs.
am fast getting to the belief that
since the very air we breathe Is full OF
germs they must have a place in the
scheme OF nature. and beyond ordinary
care we can do little to keep them at bay.
One dentist tells US to scrub our teeth
and gums to keep them hard and healthy.
and another. equally good, tells US that
two weeks use Of a toothbrush makes
1t unfit for health. Obviously We cannot
be too extravagant. even in tooth brushes,
so what can we do? I do not remember
Of hearing about any mishaps Of this
kind so knowledge on the subject serves
no better purpose than to make us mis-
cradle.
Habit makes daily bath a necessity,
yet there are strong men and women who
still believe in the weekly Tubing and
weakly one who have to be held back by
the hand Of a physician. He sometimes
declares that so much bathing robs them
Of much-needed strength. The neat house

and a $3.50 diamond ring from her I'M

When their case came to trial both

based on the sensational allegation by

prior to the day she was found slain
in the Lampblack swamp at Harrison.
