HERALD SUN AUGUST Uv 1910 i WASHINGTO1 7 f 1 f 0 THE = THEATRICAL OUTLOOK The hum of expectation In the local theatrical world te goWn more eager week by week and already wo can see that the season Is to be one full of good things in New York attractions are already crowding the theaters and as they make godd they will have regret- fully to say goodby to Broadway and get out into the larger cities Not in many seasons have the preparations been more elaborate or more promising All ot the theaters are furbishing up read for business Chasos is again being made resplendent on the outside with gold leaf ready for the opening of its seat sale which takaSx place Monday Much of the decoration is the work of the clover stage manager of Chases who IB a genius in his way and who not only directs the stage during the season but paints and designs scgnery builds properties and even now Is decorating the lobby THis of lijyalty to the thea- ters interests characteristic of Jlr Chases employee and traditional with that theaters management While enjoying supremacy in tje Washington field of polite vaudeville Chases is now Miss De Witt states oven more mindful than ever of its obligation to provide for its faithful clientele as good bills as if there were a dozen deserving competitors- of Chases and she submits in proof this partial list of Chases bookings for only the starting weeks of the approaching season The Alonzo Bracco Spanish Troupe Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth of the Ziegfeld Follies revues Dr Carl Her man the famous European electrical wizard illusionist and comedian Eliza- beth Rice and Charles King formerly- of The Jolly Bachelors and recently with The Yankee Prince the world renowned Namba Troupe Jesse L Lasky new delight On Housetop Joseph Harts production of Little Stranger Frank Tinney Laskys The Photo Shop Vllmos Wwtony the Eight Geisha Girls Nell OBrien and company Alice Lloyd the of Engliah comediennes Annabele Whitford Gems Herbert Clifton Taylor Kranz man and White Clifford and Walker the Melody Monarchs Thaleros Novelty Cir cus Don Pasquel the Lorsch Family Jarrow the Planophlend Minstrels the Royal Collbrls Colteg Days Node weld Kalmar and Brown and the Three Kuhns Others will be announced later It will be immediately observed es- pecially by the polite vaudeville astron- omers that practically all these offerings are wholly new to Washington and that they insure the formation of bills which for novelty and distinction will set a standard which Chases has never before attained and which no other polite vaudeville theater less happily propor- tioned managed and affiliated can pos- sibly approach The Academy which opened with a boom last Monday and which promi es to be more popular than ever this sea- son for it played to capacity bttftnew many times during the week has tastefully decorated during the closed season and it is now one of the hand- somest popularpriced theaters in the country The is in a most condition for with the rapid growth in highciaae productions year by year has grown the nt nber Of highclass plays priced house This year the Academy will have stronger list of attractions than ever before and among thorn are to be Wildfire The Thief In Pan ama Old Homestead Tho Wolf Way Down East Mrs Wlggj of the Cabbage Patch Checkers Clansman Graustark The Squaw Man Hanlons Superb The Lion and The Mouse St Elmo Thomas- E Shea in a repertoire of standard plays Cecil Spooner in of William H Turner in a new play and Ward and Yokes in their old sue cue A Run on the Bank Nothing has as yet been given out as to the attractions listed for tha National Theater but it is safe to predict that this theaters soason will surely eclipse in brilliancy its fine records of the past It will not be long now before the very best of the Klaw Erlanger attractions will be moving this way and it is not at all unlikely that some of the more important productions of this firm will have their first performances at the National The management of the Columbia Theater says that playhouse has never bran so solidly booked so early in the season before Manager Fred Berger says that no second companies will be sent out this year by the Theatrical Syn dicate and only firstclass productions and companies will be seen It has never been the policy of the Columbia manage- ment to make elaborate announcements- at the beginning of the season but in view of the conditions now existing and the remarkable strength of the present bookings it is not improbable that the rule will bo broken within the next week or two and a detailed list be given to the public A significant rule laid down by Marc Kluw several years ago was repeated to Mr Berger on the occasion of his recent visit to the Klaw Er langer ofiicee recently It is unwise to announce n July that which oan as well be told In September Just what the September announcements will be may- be awaited with the Belasco Theater a brilliant pro gramme has feeen

THE OPENING OF CHASES When Chases opens its box office to morrow Washington will be really Wash- ington again to the lovers of polite vaudeville Polite vaudeville has become such a permanent such a popular and such a paramount feature of tbg lives of so many to whom it represents their amusementall that they can hardly ac custom themselves to the months in thu summer when Chases closes Therefore they rejoice exceedingly when they read in The Washington Herald that the prep arations have bOon completed the inau gural programme provided and all the pomp and paraphernalia of polite vaude vllle has been set in motion for the of another season This sum- mer the loyal legions loneliness has been greater than usual judging from the let- ters sent Manager De Witt requesting an earlier opening than the date sot asking for more seasonal seat reservations than usual Treasurer Costar returned to town a week earlier than customary and has kept himself from ennui by devising new conveniences for his box oflle and by pre- paring his miniature city directory con- taining the names and locations of the patrons who secure the same seats every week in the season and their name is legion Relief and pleasure will there- fore shine in ovary countenance within the radius of Chases tomorrow when at 830 In the morning Treasurer Costar throws open the window In the wall and from that point of vantage surveys the throng in line for the best that at Chases invariably goes to the first Every day this week from 896 till 9 p m the box ofllce will be open and applications in per- son or by phone will be received Chases popular scale of prices and permanent policy will be maintained The dRib matinee seats will be only S cents those for the evening performance will mnge from 25 to A cents all being reserved at each performance Holidays and special attractions will not furnish Chases an excuse to raise prices an Innovation in custom first Inaugurated br Chases ana later adopted lay other theaters nIt over the country Manager Do Witt announce that persona who nave bean disappointed in securing deshuble seats for aigfet per formancn Wednesdays Thursdays Frida and Saturdays on account of the crowded condition of the theater should attend earlier in the week as they can almost invariably obtain choice locations on Monday and Tuesday nights The fair and capable director and execu- trix of Clfeses destinies also emphatically adds that there will be not a single change In the policy of Chases of never pander- ing to morbidity of never admitting O- bjectionable patronage among circle of patrons cad of never conducting the performances with less politeness and pro- priety titan prevails in the homo of a gentleman acting as host to friends It Is for those principles Chases ha undevfa
