CHASE'S
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Week Dec. 16th., 1912.
BOY SCOUT BENEFIT WEEK
EDGAR BERGER
The flexible equilibrist. This is a good little opening act. Some of his feats are out of the ordinary. F.S. Close in one.
MLLE. LA TOSCA AND CO.
Singing and instrumental. Woman and two men. We consider this only a fair act, being hardly strong enough for us. F.S.
DARRELL AND CONWAY
"Behind the Scenes". The open in bare stage where they do some talking and make-up, both blackface. Then they come down in one with a plush drop and sing a couple of coon songs, both of which are good. We are well satisfied with this act and it is making good in this position.
TECHOW'S CATS
A good act of its kind and doing satisfactorily for us. F.S.
INTERMISSION
J.K. MURRAY-CLARA LANE CO.
In this singing comedy entitled "Fixing Dad" these well-known people are giving us a pleasing act and we consider it good value for the money. F.S.
BUD FISHER
Because of this man's reputation based on his "Mutt and Jeff" series, he is doing all right for us. In one.
THE BOY SCOUTS
This is a local act and because of this fact, is creating not a little interest. F.S.
KINEMACOLOR PICTURES
"The Mobilization of the Greek Troops for the Front". There is so much difference between the ordinary motion pictures and the Kinemacolor that it is hard to make a comparison. However, we are convinced that they are amply worth the difference in the cost.
