There has neve twn sjiy other company playing "Checkers" and it will be seen here un der the same manager who has con trolled Its destiny fcince the opening Bight. "Checkers" Is generally referred to M a. racing plav. That doubtless is recaus It contains a racing scene of fiuch strength as to have induced the Jat Hon. WUIiam C. Whitney to utter Ms since widely quoted remark: , "Checkers Is the finest racing play I have ever seen." But there is more to - t'hecfcers" than the attributes of racing play. Varioas classifications have been annliert to It. Rut that of character comedy would sewi the best. For the benefit of those who may poeslhly not have heard the story, It may be briefly described as that of a manly, sporty younr American with nimble wit and a clean record unblem- ifftiea or even the slighteot streak of ihe. yellow.

Joseph Jefferson's Sons Coming. A woman ' of taste and refinement after witnessing a performance of "The Rivals" aa presented by Joseph and Wil liam W. Jefferson was overheard to say: "This has been a profitable even ing," and then she asked half resent fully, "Why don't we have more of them?" Her remark, it Is believed, voiced the sentiments of nearly every person in the large audience that had just wit nessed Richard Brlnsley Sheridan's com edy with every evidence of delighted enjoyment. The language of the play may seem to us antiquated in expres sion and certain of the characters may Impress us as old fashioned, but the wit. because it is genuine. Is keen, and the humor of the situations, by reason of the skillful ease with whK-h they are created, has lost none of its power to amuse and gladden. If the theatre-going public of this citv desire to spend a "profitable even- Ina" they should not fall to see "The Rivals" when It is presented by Joseph snd William Jefferson at the Hellig theatre.

He has staged the production personally and made It the fastest thing yet seen on the stage. "The Honeymooners" moves like a racing auto all the time and never lets the spectator draw breath until the whirlwind finish. This is the Cohan manner, and In "The Honeymoonera" the Cohan brand of stage entertainment is at Its height. The production to be seen at the Baker all week, starting to night, comes direct from the New Am sterdam theatre, New Tork. and rep resents a tremendous outlay In cos tumes and scenery. The company does not arrive in iime ror a matinee today but there will be regular matinees TUesdsy, Thursday and Saturday. w w Orphenm Vauide llle.

Walter Arlngtor. has in Hal Reld's "At Cripple Creek" in every sense an Idyl of the Rocky mountains. It Is a simple story of the western life told In the author's best style, and is a dra matic gem of great power and beauty. Its pathos moves the heart, and there re a number of amusing comedy scenes Interspersed throughout the play, that serve to brighten the Intense situations which develop In the unfolding of the drama.

A few weeks before she played It here, and it was considered one of the best and cleanest comediea of the sea son. Manager Baker tried all last sea son to get the right to play It, but was unsuccessful until now. It admits of musical interpolations which will be liberally used by the Baker company, with Miss Seymour as Gloria. It will open next Sunday rastlnee.
