bill of vaudeville novelties at the Casino
Theater this week is headed by George
Thatcher, the old minstrel king, who,
with a record of fifty years on the
stage, delivered a monologue with the
ease of an old plantation minstrel. The
next big hit on the bill was Miss Geni-
vie Warner. who sang My Dream or
Love" accompanying herself on a harp.
Miss Warner also rendered Mendelssohn's s
Spring Song" on harp. and to show
her versatility, gave a popular medley
including rag-time airs. other popular
acts included the Sombreros, who Of
fered sketch which allowed them to
introduce novel juggling with hats:
Coleman and Frances in "O'Brien's
Christmas Eve" which was excellently
interpreted; Cutler and Heagney, who
made a decided hit, singing and piano
playing of popular rag-time selections:
Tom Bateman, the dancing sailor and
Sperry and Ross, in a comedy rural
sketch, depicting two young people
about to leave Lonesomeville for the
city to put on a vaudeville act. The
usual motion picture plays were ex-
hibited between the acts and proved

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Replete with excellent features which
are seldom seen on one bill, the offering
at Chase's this week brings the popular
vaudeville playhouse to a fitting close
after a season of unprecedented success
Every number Is a winner. but Sam
Mann and his capable company got home
first. keeping their audience in . riot of
giggles from start to finish.
Mr.. Mann has an excellent vehicle, a
musical satire on a Monday morning
burlesque rehearsal, in which he shows
his ability as a German comedian In
the role of a new leader Of the theater
orchestra, and creates a continual roar
Of laughter by his ability to hand out
lozenges to the audience and interrupt
the musicians whenever beer hoves in
sight. He is capably supported by c.
Howard Acker, Harry F. Gilbert, Joseph
Bennett, the Misses Revere and Lyons,
and Miss Lillian Dilworth.
Another excellent act was the one by
Homer Miles and company. in char
acter comedy of New York boarding
house habitues. Josie Heather, whose
proved a clever commedienne with a rare
voice. while Percy Waram and company
presented an English musical hall sketch,
THE Boatswain's Mate which abounds
with the British type Of wit. Western
Fields and Carroll tore of syncopated
songs which received a large amount of
applause.
The Reed Brothers offered high grade
gymnastic novelty, which was worthy of
its place on the programme. Dixon and
Dixon. eccentric musical comedians,
opened the bill, and the daylight motion
pictures, showing Windsor McCay. the
famous cartoonist, drawing his Little
Memo sketches, were highly entertain

nent in events elsewhere in the past year
and the manner in which this car per-
formed yesterday. with !. c. Barber be-
hind the wheel, showed what II could
do. ...l during the day 1t was well with
the crowd. E. A. Clarke. a recent pur-
chaser of a Regal entered the run to
see for himself, as he said IL the car
was as easy riding on country roads as
1t was about the city. When he returned
did everything that he could expect of a
machine. Though a recent motor en-
thusiast, he had no trouble all during
the day and missed none Of the sport at
the noon or night control.
In the Press Car.
Following him out Of Washington was
Harry Williams Maxwell. which had
been donated by its owner as a press
car. The duties of this machine are
of a strenuous sort. 1t must remain at
the start until the majority of the ma
chimes are under way and then get into
the noon control with the leaders. This
car was equal to the demands made of
it. and was but a very few minutes
behind the first machine to report at
Gettysburg after the pacemaker arrived
Charles Miller, who drove the Velie,
never misses a contest OF any kind, and
he has always Deen nlSnly succeSSlul.
Though sick last week, he made 1t a
point when told of the holding of the
sociability to be on hand. He arranged
for his daughter, Miss Lillian, one of
the best young lady auto drivers in the
city, to take his place If he was unable
to go, so that the Velie would be certain
to be in the run. As it turned out, he
was able to drive himself, but said last
night that more than likely his daugh-
ter would be behind the wheel to-day
with him as a passenger.
Had His Wife with Him.
Frank White does not believe in city
riding, and on every possible occasion
he and his wife make it point to take
a trip somewhere in their Apperson. The
sociability run caught his fancy. and
there was no one who had more enjoy
ment on the trip yesterday than this
couple.
Il wish it would last for a month, in
stead of only four days" said Mr.. White
last evening
Clarence Barnard is another who does
not think much of city riding. He and
his Stoddard-D Dayton can be seen most

roads for some point 10 or 100 miles dis

THE MAJESTIC.

"A Moutain Waif'' was presented at
the Majestic last evening before an ap-
preciative audience The piece deals with
the struggles Of little girl born in a
mountain camp, when her mother dies,
and she is left in the charge of a num-
Der Of the miners. Miss Daily, as the
waif; Herbert OConnor, as Hank Jor-
dan, and Chris Humble, as the hero were
all well received. The work of Charles
O'Conner, Hazel Arlington. and Maria
Wilson was also worthy of notice
