Chase's.

One Of the most attractive bills offered
to the patrons of Chase's in a number of
weeks has as it's main attraction Mr..
Denman Thompson. the dean of all Amer
fcan actors. who for years appeared in
that most popular play, 1.-The Old Home
stead" Vaudeville is now presenting Mr.
Thompson's original sketch, Joshua.
Whitcomb," In two scenes. on which his
dramatic success was founded. When he
appeared last night as the kindly, simple
old man he was greeted with an outburst
of applause that lasted some minutes, and
again at the conclusion he was forced to
acknowledge his welcome. Miss Molly
King as '"rot," the little newsgirl. and
Arthur O'Keefe as Roundy, the bootblack,
gave some clever character acting. A
clever sketch Is THE Lady Across the
Hail." presented by James Neill and
Edythe Chapman, which involves chance
meeting of a lady who. thinking she had
forgotten her key to her apartment, seeks
the assistance of her gentleman neighbor
in the adjoining suite. Dale and Doyle in
songs and dancing were good, and the
female impersonator completely deceived
the audience untl he took off his wig.
The three McGradeS, presenting q series
of balancing and archery exploits of un-
usual novelty, gave an entertaining ex-
hibition. while Wilbur Mack and Nella
Walker gave a skit, '"The Girl and the
Pearl" Hermany's airship cats and Gogs
were seen in some very interesting feats.
Julia Frary, formerly with Frank Daniels
company, rendered trio of vocal selec-
lions which were well received. The
American vitagraph shows the series,

sion of the testimony and a brief address

There is much of human interest in the

when Madge swings across the chasm on

sues Joe Lorey in an effort to lynch him
because of the false allegation that he
attempted to burn Bess, a noted race
