An unusually excellent bill marked the
opening Of Chase's second week Of the
season yesterday. With but two acts
that verge upon the mediocre-in COM
parison to the rest OF the program-both
performances were enthusiastically ap-
preciated by large audiences.
Elizabeth Brice and Charles King. OF
musical fame. proved themselves the real
headliners of the program with clever
specialties In the song and dance line.
Mr.. Cross and Miss Josephine, though
handicapped by an utterly impossible
skit. labeled Dying to Act" managed to
forget 1t and won real applause in their
songs and dances.
The Howard Brothers. billed as banjo
wizards. present a real novelty In the
musical line, playing upon their favorite
instruments while juggling them high In
the air. They conclude with a medley
Of selections from grand opera that, to
many, proved even more enjoyable than
their spectacular speciality.
Eldridge takes handfuls Of sand and
scatters them around over several framed
boards. and-presto-you have pictures or
ships at sea, the old homestead with the
snow falling softly upon IT and the city
of San Francisco burning to the ground.
His work is really fascinating. though
his ''line of side-talk" while at work is
woefully mournful. especially an uncalled
for and thoroughly out-of-place allusion
Herbert Warren & Co. present a one-act
broad-farce comedy. THE Sultan's Fa-
vorite." that for rough and ready humor
wins applause. Maude George as Nor
giana, the pride of the harem," gives a
by no means inartistic delineation of what
q favorite wife of the Sultan of Turkey
might do and say when she finds herself
exiled to New York.
DIR. Carl herman. who styles himself
'the man who has tanned electricity" pre-
sents q rather tame Offering, with a
lengthy and blatant talk about WON
derful transformer he invented, from the
viewpoint of the audience. until he in
duces a number of young assistants to
step up on the stage and dance jigs at
the ends OF several OF his live wires. They
furnish impromptu hop-skip-and-jump
gymnastics that compel applause.
Christy and Willis appear in a Juggling
and dance act, the former presenting old
tricks with a skill that makes them al
most new. THE Little Old Men OF the
Woods Is a delightful depletion of that
classic fairy tale on the moving picture
screen.

music, witty dialogues and attractive

Every one of the nine scenes in 1.-The
Chinatown Trunk Mystery" which thrill
ed the Academy last night. has its own
particular melodramatic charm. This
sensational stage story deals with the
snaky power of a Chinese Tong leader,
and the murder Of an American girl who
worked among the Cinnamon Of Pell and
Mott streets Although there is but one
revolver shot throughout. there Is an art
displayed far beyond the ordinary thriller.
for In place Of the vulgar blank cartridge
there is the terrible poisoned needles
which kills at scratch. There Is also
the weird hypnotic power which lures
Chinatown May to the side OF Chong Song
the villain. She answers his telepathic
call just in time to appear in the fourth
story window Of a Chinese tenement as
Chong is about to pack Miss Siegers''
remains into trunk.
The third degree scene in the third
act approaches the climax of melodra-
matte effect. Half dozen burly police
rack, and nearly succeed. 1t Is heart
reaching moment, especially when every
light in the house goes out and. with a
seconds interval. the light appears again
but 1t Is a single light upon the stage,
glazing full in the face of the corpse of
the murdered girl.
Chong Song is never brought to justice,
for he is shot through thhe body by
Chinatown May on the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
can dock in the last act. just as he Is
about to give her the slip. She herself
is stabbed by Chong before he dies. and
as far as Detective Vincent, the hero of
the play. is concerned, the secret Of who
murdered the pretty missionary died
with him and May.
The scenery is realistic. The palatial
Chinese palace Of Chong Song is modelled
carefully after the actual conditions in
Mott street, New York. Oven the in
