Offering at Academy

Happy Hooligan" is in, town in a
farce comedy, primarily based upon the
comic illustrations in the newspapers.

most sluggish mortal, and last nights
audience showed its hearty appreciation.
The first act is in the Rapid Transit

a tea garden Besides the beautiful
scenery and costumes, the company con-
sists OF good comedians and specially

HIGH CLASS BILL
CHASE'S OFFERING
The Son Of Solomon" Is
Headliner, With The
Granvilles Scoring.

The Chase offering this week for pat
rons of polite, vaudeville Is a bill that
will become popular from every stand
point. 1t is we'll balanced and contains
several new features. The headliner Is
a pretentious number, excellently act
ed and artistically staged. 1t is 1.-The
Son of Solomon" and features the ec-
centric character comedian, Hugh Her
bert, assisted by Thomas A. Everett
and Miss Margot Williams. The sketch
contains a plenty of rich comedy and
heart interest, although inclined to be
a little too talky at times. The most
dramatic scene is broken into. by the
sudden extinguishing Of the lights and
the appearance Of moving pictures which
portray the movements of a wayward
son, who is later reclaimed by his
father and sister. Mr.. Herbert gives a
good impersonation of the aged Hebrew.
The most popular number on the pro-
gram is Bernard and Dorothy Gran
Vile as the Eton Boy and the Girton
Girl, in a singing and dancing sketch,
Lovers Lane This pair far out
rank any team that has appeared at
Chase's In a long time, the dancing of
Mr.. Granville being marvellous and
graceful. The yodle songs ana curtain
speeches demanded several encores.
Thomas ]. Ryan and Nary Richfield
offer a new sketch in the Mag Hag-
gerty" series, and, as usual, kept the
audience in continued good humor. Mr..
Ryan as the old hodcarrier, who will
not endure anything OF orange hue
around him on st. Patricks Day, Is
funny in the extreme.
The quartet of French operatic stars
Les Cadets de Gascogne, appear In
a new repertoire and carried off second
honor in the applause. They were COM
PEELED to repeat their final number sew

make the heroine of the play. There
is sufficient heart interest TO hold the

In the final analysis II may be termed
a nice, cheerful, dainty play. fresh In

Perhans the most convincing test OF
the nersonalitv of an actress is the
wav in which her friends flock to the
box office. Billie Burke is one illus
tration, 1t is a fine thing to have so
strong a hold on the affection OF the
public. but better still this charming.
rivacious actress has not allowed her
popularity, that has withstood the test
of several years, to suffer through any
overplus of vanity
Billie Burke counts her admirers by
the thousand, a fact due in the past, it
is admired. to her peculiarly winning
and fetching personality; but Billie
Burke has taken a step forward, and
through conscientious fidelity to her art
she has become more than merely a
winning personality-a delightful and fin
ished actress.
To some of the passages in Suzanne,
in which she was seen at the National
last night, she arose to emotional
-,rchts that approached the artistic
efforts of actresses who lay far greater
claim to this art of acting than does
Billie Burke.
As a comedian her wit Is spontaneous,
and she has lost great deal~of the
gaucherie that characterized her work
in her earlier career.
1t is difficult to be sure whether the
author or the actress deserves the
greater credit for the success that Is
sure to come in great measure TO this
lively little play. 1t is an adaptation
from the French of Franz Fonson and
Fernand Wicheler, by c. Haddon Cham

of a middle class Belgian family, the
head of which is a brewer with ambi-
