"The Isle of Spice"


 ''The Isle of spice.' one of the we'll known musical pieces and great success a few seasons ago, was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. The house was small last night, and that fact, coupled with se- we're cold which was troubling one of the comedians, and the general apathy of the house no doubt had much to do with making the performance decidedly slow. The members of the company seemed to be affected with a general depression, which was most noticeable in the come dians. There were three fun-makers and all of them capable, but they didn't seem to feel like exerting themselves. Still, when one considers that tris is a half-pay week with theatrical people and there was only handful to play to last night, it Is no wonder. that the principals failed to warm up.

"Checkers."

A crowded house greeted the return of Checkers" last night at the Bijou, an audience which fully appreciated the ef- forts of good company in giving play that is unusually good. Henry Blossom could hardly wish to see his immensely popular comedy produced in a more tlfor- oughly capable manner.
 Tho production is the original of Kirke LaShelle. Nothing more need be said on that score. The company almost to a man is entirely satisfactory. As Check CTS, James Gleason made an excellent impression. Next in the order of excel lence comes Dave Braham, Jr., who DOT trays the character of Push" Miller, the race-track tout almost ,faultlessly. Bra ham is not new to the part, having been seen before as the tout in Birmingham. Miss Florence Heston makes a satisfac- tory Pert Barlow, and never over-acts. The remaining members of an unusually large company, including notably George E. Merritt, as Uncle Jerry Halter; Rob- ert Craig and John Mundinger in come dy parts, and numerous others, do not fail to rise to requirements
 The story of Checkers" is known to nearly every playgoer. It reyolves about tho life of one Edward Campbell, known as Checkers, who finds trouble in his love affairs because of certain proclivities to- ward a sporting life. In his desire to en- ter into the good graces of his sweet heart. Pert Barlow, he quits the race track and obtains a position in grocery store located in small country town where her home is.

Cornell Musical Clubs.

The Cornell Musical clubs will hold the boards at the Jefferson theater tomorrow night Advance sale of seats indicates a crowded house and the event will be of a social nature The clubs haxe been in constant rehearsal for several months, and have reached a marked stage of per- lection according to the Ithaca critics. With the exception of the Alma Mater and Evening Song, two numbers which have been rendered by Cornell for years and years. every song to be sung on the Christmas tour is new. The old favorites are used alone for encores. The Mandolin and Banjo club, which really is an or ganization of players on stunt" college instruments, has mastered an extended repertoire of both classical and popular numbers.

 A dreary procession of just such out-of- date musical shows. delightful when new but grown passe, journeys through the south year after year. Birmingham the- atregoers are very seldom fooled and one after another the companies play before empty seats and depart into the night, On the other hand, something new and meritorious is nearly always greeted by large crowds.
