CHASE'S THEATRE WASHINGTON, D.C.
Week Nov. 4th, 1912.

MC MAHON, DIAMOMD & CLEMENCE Featuring "The Scarecrow Dance". Two girls and a young man in a neat little singing and dancing act. The man is am exceptionally clever dancer, and the young girl, as the "scarecrow" is very good. Could hold a better position on the bill. Open in one. Close in two.

MARTINI AND MAXIMILLIAN Travesty magic. This act did not seem to go as well as formerly, probably due to the fact that they do not work fast enough. There is too much time wasted. About all there is to the act is some laughable comedy. F.S. Close in one.

OLIVE BRISCOE Did better than we expected. Her songs and patter were new and she pleased our audience immensely. In one.

FELIX AND CAIRE "In Search of a Past". 7 scenes with quite a bit of special scenery. These two young people work very hard, but are hardly good enough for a No. 4 position on our bill. They could go better No. 3. Some of their songs are good, and so is their dancing. We must admit, however, that they were working under difficulties, because of some confusion in their settings.

INTERMISSION

THE FOUR REGALS "The Armorers". Special set showing interior of a medieval blacksmith shop. This is a spending strong man act and every one of their feats were was received. F.S.

LYONS AND YOSCO "The Harpist and the Singer". Hit of the show, as they almost always are. In one.

CHIP AND MARBLE "The Land of Dykes". This is a pretty little act, with a handsome set showing a scene in Holland. It gives both of the principals a chance to sing and dance, both of which they do well. Their supporting company is adequate. A good act to close the show with. F.S.

THE ANIMATED WEEKLY Weekly Events of International Interest. Good film.
