"Checkers" at HeUig Tonight.
"Checkers' ta the offering at the
Helllg theatre. Fourteenth and Wash
ington streets, tonight at 8:16 o'clock,
continuing tomorrow and Tuesdax
nights.
The presentation on the stage of the
HeUlg will le with subHtantially the
complete cast and scenic investiture
een In New rk. 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. Hans Robert and Dave
Brahatn and all the old favorites are
still in the rant. Heats are selling at

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. Fourteenth and w ashlngtpn
etreeta, for four nights, beginning next
Sunday, October zt.

Baker "The Hoaeymooners.'
All ever the nation I ha numberless
admirers of George H- Cohan are de
lighted to bear that his brightest and
breeziest and tuneful) est song show,
"The Honeymoonera" has left the New
Amsterdam theatre and taken to the
road Just as It delighted Broadway all
last summer Cohan wrote The Hon-
rmimwrr as a piece In which to pre-
t himself snd to retrain during the
entire heated season In New Tork He
worked so well for hfmoelf that th
pteie could remain indefinitely In tl
metropolis If the booktrr" ef the the
atrical syndicate permitted.

and then given It a plot that would
make the reputation of an out-and-out
drama at any time. 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.

"Glittering Gloria."
'puttering Gloria," which the Baker
Stock company will present for the
week following "Brown of Harvard" at
the Bungalow, has been seen here but
once before. It Is the comedy in which
Isadora Rush, one of the most popular
comediennes on the American stage, as
well as the most beautiful, was appear
ing in, when she met with the fatal ac
cident while bathing at Coronado Beach,
Cal.
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. October 25.

theatre week beginning Sunday matinee
October 25. under the title of "The

might naturally be expected, a blood and
thunder production, abounding In gun
shots and other hair-raising episodes,
unpleasant to the audience, but Is a
faithful picture- of life on the frontier
and In one of the famous government
posts. It tells a beautiful love story, te
replete with thrilling scenes, and Its
characters are all taken from living

tame.
