"Checkers" at Heilig Tonight .
Tonight, tomorrow and Tuesday night
the playgoers of this city are to have
another chance to see "Checkers," the
play which by Henry M. Blossom Jr., 1s
a breezy dramatisation of the breezy
book of the same name, and Is breezily
: Acted. ' Since Its Initial appearance
"Checkers" has been dividing ti time
between New York, Chicago, Boston
and, Philadelphia, and a few smaller
towns, and not only did the New York
critics speak as If in one voice (for the
first time, lo! in many moons) and in
emphatic praise of the play, company
' and production, but self-reliant and
?oung Chicago and conservative Bos
on and ' Philadelphia indorsed their
opinion. It played its fifteenth engage
ment lnf New York last season, and will
play another later this season.
There Is Jn the play the old, old story,
which all the world seems never to tire
of hearing, and It is told in such a new
and pretty way as to make even old
bachelors admit that pasaibly they have
'overlooked a thing or two in shaping
their lives. There Is a laugh in "Check
ers'' every 80 seconds. Seats are selK
ing at the theatre for the three per
formances. :

The Baker atock company will give
an excellent revival of the famous Sar
dou play, "Diplomacy," for the week
starting' with todays matinee, "Diplo
macy" is a masterpiece of stage craft,
and calls for actors and actresses of the
very highest mark, both as to tempera
ment and technical ability and training.
It Is a play, framed round a plot of ex

at least four characters whose possibili
ties have seldom, If ever, been equaled
on the stage. These are Henri and Ju
lian Beauclerc, .Baron Stein and the
Countess Zlcka, central figures around
which the events of the drama move.

An Interesting event In. store for Ba
ker patrons is the coming of Hoyt's
screaming farce comedy, "A Hole In the

the events take place In a measly out of
the world railroad station, and many

The Empire will have an Ideal attrac
tion all the coming week, starting with
todays matinee and the critics have
said that there are more ' tears '''and
laughter In tha four acts of Bertha M.
Clay's powerful story. "Thorns and
Orange Blossoms" than any play on the
roaa mis season.
And such Is the general verdict of
those who witness the production. It
has a soothing effect: the story. wMle
working on to . the hla-hest emotional
pitches Is restful because it Is natural;
mere is noining rorcea, notning over
drawn. The players like their different
roles because they offer a wide scope
for the display of his tr Ion lo talent and in
eacn tneme is a sptenaia opportunity for
individual work. The production Is as
sumptuous, as elaborate, as scenlcally
beautiful as money, time, labor and ex
perience could devise and in offering
''Thorns and Orange Blossoms" In thia
city the Rowland and Clifford Amuse
ment company reel satisfied that a cor
dial appreciation f their efforts will be
extenaea.
