CHASE'S.
Polite Vaudeville.

Miss Percy Haswell, the American star.
who has appeared for years in the
classics of Shspeskeare, Ibsen. Clyde
Fitch and many other dramatists, lis the
headliner at Chase's this week in a
sketch called Master Wills Players 80
by Allan Fawcett. She is supported by
Mr.. Regain Hughston and Mr.. James
Bevnis.
Following a season in London Miss
Haswell. well known to Washington
theater-goers, was received with open
arms by two large audiences yesterday.
The piece in which she displays her
talents is a comedy. The scene is laid
in an English Inn and concerns the affair
of a young woman of the court who falls
in love with one of the players in Shake
speare's company. How she goes to an
inn, disguised as a boy and how she
rehearses scenes from AS You Like It.
and The Tanning of the Shrew' is the
plot. The piece gives Miss Haswell ex
ceptional opportunities for the display of
her art. One cannot forget the exquisite
voice of this charming actress. 1t seems
to be an adjunct valuable beyond COM
putation. In addition the personal mag
netiSm of the star is unusually pleasing.
Miss Haswell has lost none of her youth
fulness and makes a Rosalind a living,
breathing creature of the stage.
The Ramsdell trio have the other end
of the bill. The act consists of dancing.
1t is just as good of its kind as Miss
Haswell is with her specially.
The bill at Chase's seems to have very
good covers and some good filling. OF
the filling Frank Fogarty is easily the
best There are many who believe he
is the best monologist in the country. His
continued appearance here will demon
strate this fact. He had a lot of new
STUFF yesterday which just struck the
audience as the kind of entertainment to
indulge in on rainy afternoon when
the blues threaten to invade ones life.
AL and Fannie Stedrnan have a singing
and comedy act that gets the laughs,
the humor is of the slap-stick
variety. Mr. Stedman is good come
dian.

class. which will leave pleasant memories
of the vaudeville season of this house
with its patrons. The management has
tried to please every one and the bills
have been noted for their diversity in
the amusement line.
The hit of the evenings performance
was the musical comedy, The Love
Trust" in which a number of pretty
young ladies sported through catchy
songs with the aid OF a very amusing
comedian, in the person OF Andrew
Tombes, who as o, How Poor, kept
the audience in roars of laughter dur
ing the time he held the stage.
Madden and Fitzpatrick in The
Wanderer," contributed several happy
minutes with their serio-comic sketch.
Rich and Lahore had a snappy act in
which their songs and parodies We're
more than appreciated. They received
number encores. The five Martes
had a whirlwind cycling number ana

cult tricks on both the regular bicycle
and the old-fashioned high wheel. Sue
Smith sang several sprightly songs with
a change for each one. Her part or the
program was neat. Jimmie BURNS, on
the high wire. performed several feats.
especially that of performing on the
