Bijou-stA Race For Life''

Theatrically speaking, there are two
diametrically different kinds of horse
play; the. one, unfortunately far too
common on the stage, and repugnant to
everyone with the slightest modicum
of good taste and horse sense, and the
other justly appreciated and roundly
applauded, when sl1ilfully presented
with due regard to dramatic require
ments. In the one kind the lowest
type of comedians attempt to CROUCH
house, farce, and make consummate
.jackasses Of themselves by playing
horse with it. In the other the capable
playwright assigns the horse itself a
star part in his cast Of characters, as
Theodore. Kremer is credited with hav-
ing admirably done in his new play,
g. & A Race For Life which opens at
the Bijou this afternoon at 2:30 for a
weeks engagement.
"Our JESSIE has ample opportunity
to do herself proud as the central figure
in a plot, introducing, in thrilling
scenes of the warning Of the passions Of
greed, cruelty, love, chivalry, treachery
and heroism, the various good and evil
characters which go to make up life.
Our Jessie is the sole reliance of
Austin Seymour, a cattle rancher, who
has taken great pains in training he1
for the Derby, the winning Of which
can alone save him from ruin and the
remorseless hatred of John Hunter, who
has bought up the mortgage on Sey

entered. Matters are complicated by
the love of Hunters son for Seymour 1
daughter, Jessie, which causes him tx
