Mr.. Norman Hackett in Kirk AIexan-

Rive's novel, Satan Sanderson," scored
triumphant success at the Academy

The story of the play is as follows:

college chum OF his and an exact counter
part has returned after a long absence
Stires' home is in the town of Aniston,
and he has returned to marry his fathers

Stires and Sanderson had belonged to a
society known as the Saints" and San

tiles and riotous living. Sanderson, how
ever, had reformed and was an honored
minister in the town where the first scene

and determination of Sanderson, had fol-

college, and had lost all self-respect Just

his resolve to give his life to save the
honor of Jessica, whom he loves. and
the salvation of Hugh's soul through

Mr.. HaCkett every opportunity to dis
play his talented and finished acting.
AS the Rev. Henry SandersOn he
gives everything that is to be desired
by the most exacting audience. and the
manner of his reception last night
proves his ability. Every shade OF the
emotions from the humorous to the
tense and tragic Is most naturally and
realistically portrayed. and stamps Mr..
Hackett as an actor Of extraordinary"
ability. He is a member of the Theta

CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

By far the best bin that has been pre-
scented at Chase's new theater Is the one
this week. 1t probably will please more
persons, and please them better, than
any entertainment OF a similar kind seen
in the city this fall The management Of
the house could have picked no acts
more entertaining.
Almost every act is a star one. Tenn

ten assistants, will please most every
one. 1t shows the dlminutive comedi-

Miss Tempest is the only woman. The
star was formerly Of the team OF Tempest

Walker. Their musical filtration is as
clean and wholesome as anything could
