CHASES.
Polite Vaudeville.

II was surely a merry Christmas al
Chase's yesterday, for this popular vaude-
vile house. with one OF the merriest bills
Of the season. had two OF the merriest
audiences. At both performances yesteT-
day the house was sold out long in ad-
vance, and hundreds Of unfortunate who
fingered too long over their dinners had
to be turned away. Ano the bill pro-
vided by Chase's this week justified the
demand for seats, for while it is a bill
without any much-heralded ~headliner, %
it is a programme made up OF clever
artists who give a performance in which
there is not a dull moment
The unique act of the bin is THE
Six Trakhene Horses" beautiful animals
ALL exhibited by the German equestrian,
Herr Herzogg. Seldom. indeed, do you
see finer specimens OF horsefesh than
these, and they are so perfectly trained
that their evolutions are a delight. They
are not ponies or under-sized animals,
but royal-looking beasts. The first part
Of the act Is where Herr HerZOgg rides
one Of them. and this part OF the pro-
gramme was particularly attractive.

and company. two men and a woman.

cult acrobatic feats. Harry Fox and the
Alillership sisters do an artistic novelty

ing Edwards, Van, and Tierney sing
some new and popular songs, one
OF them being an adept pianist. George
B. Reno and company present a funny
burlesque military act the three assist
-.lts being notable for their grotesque
physical appearance. which helped a good
deal with the comedy. Bert Kalmar and
Jessie Brown do a high-class dancing
act, that was most heartily received
The only other act is that Of Charles
F. Semon, '-the narrow feller," who is
as funny as ever. The performance con-
cludes with a most striking motion pic
ture OF the civil war All in all, this is
one Of the very best bills that Chase's
has had this year

THE ACADEMY.
.@The Port of Missing Men,

AS a writer OF entertaining fiction there
is no present-day author who has the
following Of Meredith Nicholson, and
the mere announcement that the Academy
would present a dramatic version OF HIS
widely read novel. 1.-The Port OF Missing
Men, served TO draw a large holiday
audience Of admirers to the theater last
night
The arrangement for the stage has been
made by that tireless worker Edward
E. Rose, and readers Of the book will
be- pleased to find that il embodies the
main incidents OF the story, and retains
that atmosphere of enticing mystery
which is the greatest charm of the origi-
nal work. TO combine the happenings
Of normal American life with the stirring
adventures involving an intrigue about
European throne is indeed a task: bur
it is one at which Mr. Nicholson has
been most happy in blending modern re-
ality with with old-world romance.
From the moment that John Armitage
hears the call of his mother country in
need, the play moves swiftly, and we
breathlessiy follow his night for the Aus
trian throne, and the hand of Shirley
Claiborne, beautiful Virginia girl
through a series of adventures which at
times threaten both the life and love of
the hero. The scene changes rapidly
from Washington to the peaks OF the
Blue Ridge, where a last reckoning is
had, md answer given TO the pudding
question, who is John Armitage?"
Thus the interest is sustained until the
very end, and the audience leaves the
theater with the thorough satisfaction
that a dashing romance, We'll told. must
always give to the rut-oound who are
never so fortunate as to meet adventure
face to face
