rCHIN CHIN" EXTRAVAGANZA.
COMES TO ACADEMY MONDAY

George Meredith declared that
Shakespeare was wel-spring of
characters saturated with the comic
spirit; with more of what might De
called blood life than is to be found
anywhere out of Shakespeare.
Such entertainments as are present
ed to us by artists like Walter wills
and Roy Binder have more OF the
spirit of the early Italian pantomime
with the addition of music and the
modern ballet. Sometimes they re-
Bembfe the origin OF Spanish COMEDY
which was generally in sharp OUT
lines. as of skeletons: in quick move
ment. as of marionettes. Though the
comic spirit pervades every part oil
such works of which Chin Chin.
coming to the Academy tomorrow
night, Is a notable example. tney can
not he said to be strictly comedy
'rhfn chin is billed as fantasy, but
a more strict definition might be ap-
piled by using the word extravaganZa.
which in a combination of comic In
cidents leavened by dancing and nau-
sic with a rough and ready element or
satire pervading the whole.
Satire Is an essential part OF the
comic muse. and II cannot be denied
that one recognizes here and there IN
the So called fantasies at least some
measure of attempt at elementary sa-
tire, although the word humor might
be more reasonably applied.
The difference between the jokes
that constitute the humor OF enter
tainments like Chin Chin" and the
comic. is that the latter addresses the
wits for laughter and. in order that
the comic may make its proper APP
peal. the sluggish wits need some
training to respond to it.
Roaring farces have less claim 10
association with tho comic rrstse than
pantorniine or extravaganza, AS they
are entirely dependent upon extrava-
giant Situation. while comedy depends
upon rtdicule.

THE Brat" Oliver Morosco's bril-

Academy Thursday. Friday and Sat-

delightful comedy success comes to
this city direct from "A years run at

II has also scored successfully to the
extent OF four months in Chicago.

months in Philadelphia. this city
being one of t,.r rev stops The Brat"
Is making on it's tour of the south.
The Brat was written by Maude
Fulton, and viii be seen here with
Miss Spooner. one of the most charm
ing of our younger stars. in the title
role, that OF the brat. Miss Fulton
has written story of II street waif,
and while the plot of the play has to
do with this character. 1t Is a clean,
wholesome comedy, with many oppor-
tunities for laughter and tear or two.
1t tells the story OF street walt who
has landed in the woman's night court
for the first time, but who has com
mitted no offense. Here she is found
by narrow minded. cynical novelist,
who takes her 10 his home as n type
10 study. His interest in her purely rs
a type leads the waif. known as the
Brat, into the mistaken belief that he
is genuinely in love with her. With
all her lack OF education and peculiar
manners, however, the young girl
proves TO be an angel of mercy sets
the disrupted household Alright and
finally gees ppe&tlthe action OF the
play being New York; with the young

has reformed, TO begin life anew as

Miss Spooner gives her audience an
opportunity to see her dance once

of the real sensations of the season
