The most attractive feature OF the vau-
deville show al Chase's this week. is the
spectacular musical comedy skit. Joy
land" with Clara Belle Jerome as the
principal participant. assisted by Will
lam Seymour and a bevy OF dancers. The
little comedy IS fun OF color. with eiabo-
rate and novel settings. plenteous changes
OF costuming, and lively songs and dane
ing, the best numbers being Won't You
Be Ny TOOdles All the Time" and ''The
Dove and the Frogs" while the introduc-
ton Of Billiken. the grinning good-Iuck
fetish. created lots OF merrinent.
Walter Kelly. always a popular enter
tainer in this city. furnished great alnuse-
ment as usual. Notwithstanding the fact
that considerable Of his material has

off a fine series OF representations. en-
bracing the characters which usually ap-
pear before police magistrates II the Vir-
ginia tidewater district He combines an
easily recognizable exposition OF the
types with some funny extravagancss of
language.
Two good comedy sketches figure in the
bill. ''The Trial Marriage" by Henry
Keane and Olive Briscoe, and Cupid at
Home" by Miss Angela Dolores and
company. Both Of them deal with the
matrimonial question. involving some Of
the troubles and infelicities. treated. how

happily a. they should.
The musical feature was contributed by
the Hughes Musical Trio. rendering with
artistic skill a programme Of instrumen-
tai selections. ranging from violin to
saxOphOne all pleasing, and with 3 vio-
lin solo. Gypsy Airs by Sarssate, elic-
iting more than ordinary appreciation by
reason Of the expressive and technical
rendition. Londe and Tilly displayed some
clever feats Of equilibrium, notably some
ladder manipulation, and Johnston and
Harty entertained with some frst-class
walking comedy IN the shape Of songs.

THE BELASC0.
Lew Fields.

Musical comedy. extravaganza. and
burlesque rolled into one is The Cir
Behind the Counter" the latest exploita-
ton OF Lew Fields, which packed the
Belasco Theater with a fashionable audi
ence last night and held it in a state
Of uproarious merriment for three hours
To attempt 10 describe the entertainment
by rote OF 70 tx its character between
and definite bounds would be superfiuous,
1t Is simply a melange Of spectacular
effect, broad comedy, and lively music
Everything is constantly on the move
and there is hardly a moment Of ap-
proximate duIIness throughout the per
formance- There is something there 70
attract some OF the senses all the tine,
even though Il must be admitted that The
senses appealed 70 are the elemental
ones. It must be confessed that the
change from the social, sexual, and other
discussions OF the past few weeks is
somewhat agreeable, and any one wishing
20 md a suitable atmosphere in which
to repine IN morbid depression had best
stay away from the Belasco this week.
A large percentage OF the acute comedy
interest centers, OF course, in Lew Fields,
who. in the guise Of Henry Schnif
a sudden but penurious millionaire, runs
the usual gamUt OF characters asso-
cIated with his peculiar qualities as a
comedian. He is q mixed-language Dutch
man, a fake detective, and a make-be-
Ieve head waiter, and through the whole
thing ne is Lew Fields, that being about
all there Is about Il. He makes you
laugh, and you do not know quite why,
but accept the situation with consider
able satisfaction. Notwithstanding.
He is assisted 70 a notable degree by
Miss Connie Ediss as Mrs. Henry Schnif
a sort Of Mrs. Malaprop. who is always
distorting the meanings and butchering
the pronunciations OF trite foreign and
society phrases, and whose effort 10
break into high society IS not responsible
for the shadowy plot, but Is likewise the
axle arond which the swift-movinG
wheel OF broad comedy reyoives. She
kept the rislbilities Of the audience IN &
continual state Of effsTvescence, and par
ticularly made q great hit with her song.
Now Have Married Millionaire. OF
which the lines are not remarkable or
the tune unfamiliar. but the success
comes entirely from the way she does il.
Others contributing TO the gayety TO
no uncertain measure are Martin Brown,
as Dudley Cheatem; Deaham Maley, as
Lord Gushington; Charles Judels. as
Henri Duvall: Daisy Dumont, as Mile,
and Lotta Faust, as Minette.
The really serious musical efforts Of the
piece are successfully made by Miss Pearl
Lund. as Winnie WiIloughby, her singing
being a distinct feature. she s a dainty
and dimiRutfve artistic, with a good So
prano voice. and afforded distinct enjoy
ment by her rendition OF Wont You
Buy2" IN conjunction with Mr. Rattlin.
and ''The Glow Worm" Many novelty
features are introduced, including a lot
OF freak waters. which was response
bic for great hiiarity, and a clever pony
ballet, which dispensed attractive dance
and song The spectacular accessories
are brilliant. and the whole production
is. in>Ssct. full Of color.
