ID nnnirini rni!ronRV ''Lightnin'" by Frank Bac on, Said Most' Interest- i ing Play of Years Forrest Taylor Players - iu ' Easily the most eagerly awaited theatrical Uftering of the genera tion, 'Lightnin " will at last comewitnin easy reach of this city's playgoers when it la pre- ttnted at the Heilig theatre on Wednesday, October 14. : An all-siar cast, headed by Sirs. Frank Bacon, Thomas, Jef ferson, son of the. late Joseph Jefferson and . Bessie, Bacon, daughter of the late Prank Bacon, as been assembled by John Uold- to introduce the record tnus'a- jiff to the principal cities on tour, :tVi the' fact that: this city has ' been included in the route is something to be genuinely thank ful for. The production was staged by WInchell Smith. "Lightnin' is described as a play remarkably true In its tones nd fine In its appeal, with an abundance of humor of. the clean . sort. : Touching the heart with many a shaft, of tender feeling, this famous comedy Is woven around a character as gentle and lovable as has graced the Ameri can stage since the days of Jef can stage since the days of Jef ferson's "Rip Van -Winkle." In fact, so human and ingratiating is Lightnin Bill., f the , tippling old soldier and hotel man of the California-Nevada' border, that - it I Is paid that an hour of him makes him the acquaintance of a life time; i - ; Pill Jones has been ' ironically nicknamed "Lightnin " because he is bo slow about everything he sets out to do. A prevaricating and shiftless old relic of the Civil 3Pwar,he has, early In life, to bear him Hell it, crossed the plains; In v. the dead of winter, drivinz be- fore him a swarm of bees, with out losing a single bee. . He has a small pension which usually goes for liquor, and. he lives on the bounty of - hU drudging wife. When necessary for him to work, her performs with- great delibera tion and much postponement the small chores around the hotel, ac cupled'chiefly with " discontented wives awaiting such liberty as the Nevada -divorce laws can bestow upon them. Lightnin; is a winning old chap, though soft of speech, gent ly boastful, professing knowledge of everything and as full of quaint lies as it is possible to Me. He would be a fast friend and never a dangerous enemy.. A pathetic, figure," this poor old man, but ca jiauie-ox; prevoKing laugnter as readily as he starts the tears; and from a - character of this type, there is "no escape in the theater. t -- .
