COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Stuart Robson will be seen at the
Crawford on Thursday in a grand re-
vival Of ''She Stops TO Conquer" This
is generally admitted to be the strong
est piece in Mr.. RobsOn's repertoire and
his selection Of the play for this city
furnishes an abundant proof Of his de-
sire to please local theater-goers. It is
said no character on the stage today pre-
sents more genuine comedy than that Of
Tony Lumpkin, the central figure Of
she Stops to Conquer" as iTnpersond-
ted by Mr.. Robson. Mr.. Robson's sup
port has been selected with great care
and includes such well known artists as
John r. Henshaw. Brindley Shaw. II. A.

James J. Jeffries. the champion pugil-
fst is now making a bid for stellar hon
ors in the theatrical world. He is now
appearing in a play written for him by
Clay NJ. Greene, entitled "A Man From
the West" In his new occupation the
genial champion has met with an OBJ
stacle in the way OF parental opposition.
Mr.. Jeffries' father is a Baptist clergy
man at Los Angeles, Cal, and when he
heard that the champion was to go on
the stage he sat down and wrote his
son a letter of indignant protest He re-
