''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.
