CHASE'S THEATRE WASHINGTON D.C.
Oct. 28th., 1912.

HOLMES AND BUCHANAN Featuring "The Girl of 1847". We regretted having to open the show with this act, as it could hold a much better position on the bill, but owing to the large amount of singing on the bill, this seemed the only proper arrangement. The act is a pretty one, and well done. F.S. Close in one.

ERGOTTI'S LILLIPUTIANS The two midgets are very clever and work in good form. There is some comedy in the set which enlivens it to a great extent. F.S.

RAYMOND AND HEATH Mr. Heath is the whole act and has an individual style of presenting a song. Miss Raymond has little to do. They held this position satisfactorily and were well appreciated by our audience. Special drop in one depicting the Boardwalk at Atlantic City.

WILLIS FAMILY This act made very little appeal to our audience. It was a bit too quiet and their selections were not up to the standard, in our opinion. The act would do as a drawing room attraction, but hardly comes up to the vaudeville standard. F.S.

INTERMISSION

TOM DINGLE AND ESMEREDLA SISTERS Mr. Dingle is one of the best eccentric dancers we have ever seen and the act did all right in this spot. Can work all in one.

MISS PEINA AND PICKANINNIES This is the best pickaninny act we have ever played. The little darkies have good voices, are full of comedy and can dance extremely well. In one.

LULU GLASER AND CO. "First Love". Although the company is only mediocre, Miss Glaser made an individual hit and we are sure that she will prove a drawing card for us this week. The music is catchy and the comedy of a high order. F.S.

ANIMATED WEEKLY Recent Events of International Interest. Fair film.
