HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL DATES.

For those who are interested
in high school baseball, The
Washington Herald announces
the time, when the interhigh
school contests will be played,
although the exact dates have
not been ratified as yet.
Last year the schOolboy games
had to be played at Union League

but this spring the interhigh
school contests can be played
where the American leaguers ca
wort.
The open dates in April are
from the goth to May 3. and in
May from the Sth until the 26th.
SO that unless bad weather inter-
feres the ten interhigh school
battles can easily be pulled on.

ChaSe'S Easter Bill
Offers English Acts

Two acts of decidedly English envir-

week, and share the headline honors,
One is an adaptation of the Charles
Dickens "Scrooge; or a Christmas Car
OIL and the other is a musical skit. en-
titled THE Leading Lady" The for
mer is presented by Tom Terriss and
twelve associate players, and is pro-
duced on an elaborate scale. Mr.. Ter
riss gives an excellent portrayal of the
grasping, misery old Scrooge, whose
reformation is brought about by the
appearance in a dream of his dead
partner, Marley. Bob Cratchit, clerk
to Scrooge. was capably acted by Tim
Ryley, and the Jacob Marley Of Wallis
Clark was commendable. q
Ralph Lynn, as the Earl Of Lancaster.
and Mercedes Lorenz, as Barbara Allen
by, in The Leading Lady,. carry the
honors of the musical sketch. and are
assisted by Ed Coleman, as the Earl s
valet Six show girls assist the soloists
in their various numbers.
Estelle Ward, Marion Lttlefeld and
Francesca Manetta compose the Nea-
politans, and a better trio of singers
has not bee heard at Chase's. THE
Tales of Hoffman" ''Ill Trovatore" and
Lucia numbers won hearty encores.
Another English act Of merit was Ser
seant Brennan, champion diabolist His
manipulation OF the spinning spools was
a marvellous exhibition of skill. Frank
Morrell, the minstrel man. with real
minstrel voice, sings number of new
songs and iu1ects a bit of comedy into
his act. ;,,

OPERA Of samson
AND DEL|LAH" IS
SUNG At BELASC0
One of Best Productions
Company Has Given Dur
ing Engagement.

NJ. Layolle's French Grand Opera
Company has done nothing better dur
ing its season" here than the produc-
ton of Saint-Saens' Samson and De-
lilah," at the Belasco last night. Found
ed on one of the most dramatic of the
Biblical episodes, ana embellished with
a score of transcendent impressiveness,
the opera is OF impelling interest, and
it was well sung.
NJ. Fontaine as Samson gave the most
finished performance of the entire cast.
Physically as we'll as temperamentally
he was we'll suited to the part. He ap-
peared at his best in the last act, in
that wonderful climax where the blind
hero RECEIVERS his lost strength by III
vine assistance. and gains the power to
destroy the enemies Of his people by
pushing asunder the pillars Of the tenn
pie.
Mile. Nady Blancard was the Delilah.
Barring a slight tendency occasionally
to throaty tones she was all that could
be desired. The Mon occur ouvre a ia
Gently sung and acted. The only incon-
gruous feature of this number was the
stage electrician's queer idea of light
ing.
Dramatically, Mons. Moore. as the
priest, was the best of the cast. The
chorus was ragged in spots, but fulfilled
all vocal demands as well as could be
desired. Under the leadership Of Mons.
de la Fuente, the orchestra was magnif-
cent.

East Lynne" Is Here
On Its Annual Visit

East Lynne" made its annual visit to
the Academy last night, and the story
of a wife's unwarranted suspicion and
desertion Of her husband were again un-
folded.
Archibald Carlyle marries the daughter
of an English earl. and brings her to his
home in East Lynne TO live. His half
sister, Cornelia, does all in her power to
make the life of Lady Isabel unhappy.
There is q murder scandal hanging
over the Hare family. Richard, brother
Of Barbara Hare, has been accused OF
murder. and has fed the country His
mother endeavors to clear him, and Sc
cures the services of Carlyle, who is the
village barrister. On account of the
mothers illness Barbara is sent to ne
gotiate with Carlyle, and. of course. in
secret. Levison informs the wife that
her husband is kindling the old fire IN
his breast for Barbara, and having
heard gossiping among the servants.
she believes Levison'S assertions and
fees with him away from her husband
and children. After a year in London
she is deserted by Levison, and returns
as governess to the Carlyle children,
Archibald having married Barbara IN
the interim. Having secured the bless
ing and forgiveness of her husband,
she herself passes away.
As the wife, Gertrude Arden does eX-
ceHenS work and gives a strong por-
travail of the role. The cast as whole
is good, and william De Voey and Mrs
Burton deserve special mention.
