"CHECKERS" HAS PROMISE,
AND SOME BAD POINTS, TOO.

Checkers" Mr.. Blossoms well-known
story. dramatized by himself. made its
initial metropolitan appearance last night
before a thoroughly appreciative Century
audience which at the end of the third act
called the author before the curtain. Judged
by the pieces welcome, 1t should go"
Taken strictly on its merits however,
without reference to the goodwill of an
audience more than predsposed toward a
st. Louis author and dramatist. Checkers"
is not an unqualified success.
It Is good. more than good in spots; 1t is
bad at times; it is Indifferent now and
then.
1t gives evidence of newsness but with
this. 1t should be said, 1t also gives prom
Use. Two long acts lead up to the pith OF
the story. These suffer with too much by
play and wordiness. Those lines which
tell the story are apt. crisp. and convincing.
Therein lies the promise. Eliminating the
redundancy, it seems, would involve no
sacrifice of the meat of the piece.
The action goes we'll; the motives are
adroitly manipulated: the climaces come
naturally with dramatic quality and force,
especially that one browning the second act
where Checkers takes up Judge Barlow's
defy and goes forth into the world to
make the 5000, upon which his love and
happiness must depend. So good is this eli
max-with the exception of Push Miller's
little bit of rowdy heroics-that 1t crystal
Lies and clears up the somewhat confused
impressions CLEANED from the hitermixture
of too much characterization and funny
business" preceding 1t.
The good Of the play appears to demand
a general toning down of the character parts
at all points save in the principal situations.
Excessive individuality, particularly IN the
comedy parts, robs the Checkers part of
some nice shading and steals from the gen.
eral effect. Coordination and unity will be
greatly assisted by such subduing.
The race-track scene in the third act is
a good bit OF realism, superior to similar
features in any Of tie melodramas.
Here the story provides good amusement
and several genuine thrills. Safe to say, it

Topeka, Kan, June 23.-The report of
the wreck which was received at tha
general Offices of the Santa Fe today
states that an east bound freight train
and a west bound work train met in
head-on collision at a point about three
miles east of Los Cerrillos. Fireman
Englehart was killed and Fireman Red
ding was severely injured The only in
jured among the members Of the crews
