CHASE'S WASHINGTON
Week Jan. 23rd, 1911
THE PEERLESS MACKS
A young fellow and girl in songs and dances which is about the usual of this run of acts. In one.
THE FOUR ONETTI SISTERS
Very pretty girls in a good trapeze work. F. S.
KELLER MACK & FRANK ORTH
"The Wrong Hero". This is one of the hits of the bill, the act being built upon lines somewhat out of the ordinary, pretty good dialogue and songs that brought it up to a good finish. In one.
E. J. HAWLEY and Co.
"The Bandit". Very melodramatic and since we play but few of this type it seemed to hold the interest well. F. S.
INTERMISSION
THE HICKEY TRIO
Acrobats, one a comedian, and of quite a superior order, interspersed with quite a bit of fun. F. S.
JACK WILSON and Co.
We were a little afraid that the comedy and parodies might be a little broad for Washington, so had a conference with Wilson with the result that he gave us good, clean material, full of laughs and clever burlesquing. Best thing on the bill. In one.
ELITA PROCTOR OTIS and Co.
"Mrs. Bunner's BUN". We substituted the word DECEPTION for BUN. Miss Otis is of course a competent woman and is well supported by Mr. Morrell. The act is well written and well played although Miss Otis is no longer an ingenue. This one act play evolves about a wife who becomes intoxicated, by mistake, while undertaking to cure her husband of the habit. Nothing really objectionable in the portrayal but doubt it our audience approves. F. S.
DAYLIGHT MOTION PICTURES
"Gratitude". A pretty story told among picturesque surroundings.

H. Winnifred De Witt, Manager.
