ADJUSTMENTS.
"Checkers."

Checkers"
Love and luck good and evil, ignorance
and wit were so adroltly blended in Henry
NJ. Blossom, Jr.'s character comedy
Checkers" which was presented at the
Jefferson theatre yesterday, matinee and
night as to leave an impression of the
harmony of life that could never be for
gotten
Hans Roberts, in the chief role as
Checkers, plays the part of race track
gambler, a country storekeeper, and an
ardent lover with an expression of soul
that assures his future. OF the score of
supporting characters not one could be
criticised
The curtain rises upon a scene in the
lobby of the Arlington hotel at Hot
Springs. Checkers here meets and falls
in love with Pert Barlow, the daughter
o. the Croesus Of Clarksvile, and prom
Uses to save Arthur Kendall, the one time
beau of her home town, from the dis

full scene in which Pert admits her love.
the young hero is banished from the
bankers home, never to return unless
with $5OoO The thrilling experiences at
the betting ring of the Chicago race
track form the climax of the play, when
Checkers wagers a keepsake of his love
and wins the stake. Then, at the home
of the banker, Checkers masters DIFF
ficult situation, and is fTally rewarded
with the hand of little Pert.
Miss Isabelle Parker as Cynthy,
maid servant in love with Push Miller,
race track tout, furnishes unique little
parallel, and laughter greets her from
start to finish. Urcle jerry Halter, in
a part taken by Charles Willard, was
perhaps the next most difficult, and was
rendered with fine comic art.
