"rhe Gamhler of the West.u

A H. Woods elaborate scenic produc- ton, "The Gambler of the West" will open a weeks engagement. with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, at the Bijou theatre tomorrow night.
 It is said that "The Gambler of the Vest is the most sensational of this seasons melodramas While the circus people the past summer have been raising the limit in daring performances in the arena, MT. Woods has devoted himself to raising the limit in the sensationalism of melodramatic productions. Owen Davis, the author of the play, it is claimed, has put to the blush all the authors of thrill ing literature. The time and place se lected for the scenes and situations-the west when 1t was wild and woolly-could not have been improved upon One thrill ing adventure of the heroine and hero follows another in rapid succession and with constant increase in their hair-rais- ing effectiveness, until near the finish of the final act the villain laughs In deaths agony at the throwing of bowie knives at the heroine lashed to tree by an h. dian. Such characters as Tenderfoot Sal. Faro Bill Dusty Kate, Bad Indian, Red Fox. Chief Black Panther, Big Medicine Man Wah Wah, Denver Dick, etc., mix tIiis dramatic decoction in most blood curdtng fashion
 The play has most beautiful scenic set tings and it's story is pretty and carries sympathetic heart interest. lost child who has been brought ID to the age of years among the Indians and is known as Little Great Bear, is a most delightful character to ladies and children. A prai- rie fire and an aurora borealis over a pie trresdue mountaia scene are among the splendid scenic effects. The company is the largest playing melodrama and com prises actors, cowboys and Indians, and a cowboy band, which will lead daily street parade during the engagement.

edy, Fifty Miles From Boston" is the offering at the Jefferson theatre on March g. This Is said to be the most expensive cast of any musical production in the country outside of grand opera, and the long list of high salaried people appear ing in it seems to justify the s6o00 weekly estimate of the cast, for it includes such brilliant players as Joseph NJ Sparks. Susanne Leonard Westford. sister of Miss Lillian Russell; w. Douglas Stevenson. Thomas Emory. Charles Willard, Walter P Richardson, Russell Pincus, Ali Hell ton, Percy Helton, Ella Sothern, Mae Hell ton, Kathryn R. Perry, Lester Temple ton and Stanley G. Fields.
 Clyde Fitch will have to look to his laures Besides Jack Straw in which John Drew is coming shortly, w. Somer- set Vaughan has had four comedies pro duced in London within year-and all successes.
 When Jack Straw was produced in London, Charles Hawtrey. best known here as the star in "A Message From Mars" played the leading part and scored enormous success. John Drew has the same role in this country and the critics say it is one of the best things in his repertory.
  of Charles Frohman in the musical play, Hook of Holland" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre in April. Danielf fine reputation as a star in comic opera always insures a keen interest fin his ap- pearance in anything new, and in this piece he Is said to have one of the best characters in which he has ever ap- peared. and these have been numerous in the last 20 years. Hook of Holland" ran two years in London and a large part of last season in New York.
 Among the songs that are bound to re- peat here the success made in New York are Lazy Loafers," Soldiers of the Netherland," Flying Dutohman." "A Little Bit of Cheese" "Tra-la-la." "A Pink Petty From Peter" and "violon- cello"
 MT. Frohman promises a splendid pro- duction and company of 60 people to support MT. Daniels.
 "The Man of the Hour" by George Broadhurst and produced by William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer, an em- phatic success of last and this season. comes to the Jefferson for three perform ances soon. Few plays of recent date have had so notable a record In respect to long runs in a wide variety of com munities. Thus, the play when first given was put into a Philadelphia playhouse, for what is called a 'try-out'' and re- mained there ten weeks. It was next taken to New York city. where 1t ran for two years, right through the summers of 1907 and 1908. A Chicago cast that had been incidentally organized began a run there that lasted through the same summer for Is weeks. This Chicago run was resumed in November, and continued until March of the last year. The New York city cast at the end of its run there, was transferred to Boston. where T weeks were told off
 The company coming here is the same that appeared in the Savoy theatre, New York city.

Max Rogers the little fellow of the Rogers Brothers, supported by Joe Kane, late star of 'The Belle of New York; and other New York Casino successes, who plays the opposite role, and the orig musical success, Tn Panama will play at the Jefferson theatre Wednesday night. The seat sale opens to morrow.
 Theatre-goers will be amply repaid for their patronage by witnessing this me 1ange of beauteous melody and Imaginable humor. The disabilities of all classes are invariably touched by the infectious fun of Max Rogers and added to this stellar feature of the performance will be a dream of beauty both for eye and ear which has never before been seen in the field of musical comedy. The play itself is so thoroughly consistent and interesting that it could actually be played as a three-act farce
 The musical numbers, many Of which are both novel and startling, are all tune ful and fit into the plot admirably.
 One can easily imagine the wide scope the present popular subject of the day, Panama, gives for scenery, costumlng, lighting effects and characters Of all de- ecriptions There is enough variety or every sort in the production to satisfy the most exacting and still there is always retained that dove-tailing of comedy and sentiment which is, as rule, conspicuous for It's absence.
 MT. Rogers has spared neither time, labor nor expense to please the public and to make this a glorious climax to an already successful career The large and beautiful chorus of show girls and danc- ang girls will be one of the many features of this production.
 The authors made a special trip-to Pan anna and spent much time and research to familiarize themselves with the man ners of the people and the customs of the country. The book is by Sylvester Maguire and Aaron Hoffman, lyrics by Edward Madden, and music by Max Hoff- man, the eminent composer, who is re- eponsible for many of the big successes of the musical world The entire pro- Auction has been staged by that master of stagecraft, MT. Ned Weyburn.
 The inimitable comedian, Max Rogers, will be ably assisted by some of the high est salaried artists in their particular lines of work, among them being Joe Kane, Marion Stanley, Josephine Bar rows, Eileen Sheridan Avita Sanchez, Flo May Sibyl Brennan, George Lydeck- er, Charles E Gallagher, Robinson New bold, William Edmund.

"The Honeymooners."


 .'The Honeymooners," George M. Co.,
 hans newest and brightest musical com
 edy success, which comes to the Jeffer
 son theatre Thursday matinee and night
 for two performances, ran all last sum- mer in New York at the New Amsterdam
 theatre, playing throughout to capacity
 at $2 prices:
 A summer run in New York is the hard
 est test to which theatrical production
 can be subjected and the fact that "The Honeymooners' made the most brilliant record of recent years is sufficient proof
 of its excellence. '"The Honeymooners'
 presents some amusing features of life in the cillage of Tigerville. Vt The cast
 runs the entire gamut of town characters and the satire is keen, but kindly The
 plot centers around a local political cam paign and the confusion arising out of the fact that Widower John Tiger has
 married Widow Wright without informing
 her that he had been married before and
 has a flashing daughter at college. She
 on the other hand has not informed him that she Is a widow, with a sporty son also in college. Both children arrive un- expectedly and the efforts of the parents to suppress the identity of the boy and girl and their prompt love making re- suit in comical confusion and misunder- standings There are a score of typical Conan songs the music is fascinating
 and catchy, the action is of the hurri- cane order and the two dozen girls are the choicest collection of beauties who have left New York this season. George M Cohan is the idol of the younger gen. eration as the result of the energy and electricity he puts into all his produc- tions. '"The Honeymooners" contain m a fnr of la ordinary type of musical comedy, but the
 action is so speedy and so well ordered that the situations are clear throughout and the excitement unfailing to the end. Among the members of the big cast are such well known entertainers as Willie Dunlay, John M. Byrnes, James Bartley,
 Daniel Sullivan, Louis London. Thomas A. Hearn. William Singer Annie Wheat on, Rose Gilden and Minnie Pil1ord. The entire production comes unchanged from
 the Aerial Gardens, the costumes and stage settings being costly and beautiful. The Jeffersons in "The Rivals" Few plays have in any way rivaled The Rivals" as presented by Joseph and William w.

with an effervescent buoyancy that is ir- resistible The Celtic wit and delicious sarcasm arouse the disabilities to marked degree and MT. Jeffersons characteriza- tion is so lovable and Imaginable that the master hand of the artist is apparent in the everyday naturalness of his every speech and action.
 The author Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who wrote ''The Rivals nearly 150 years ago, has fitted the Jefferson boys with parts even as thoroughly as nature has endowed them with ability to portray the characters. So long as the Jeffersons live there is no danger of '"The Rivals dying or even sinking into oblivion. The entire combination possesses an air of refine- ment .woefully absent in the present day plays. After witnessing the performance you feel as if you were a better human being for having done so and the success of more than a eenturys duration amply justifies all extravagant claims which might be made in Its behalf.
 An ultra aristocratic event is assured when the Jeffersons present ''The Rivals" at the Jefferson for two performances Saturday. Seat sale opens Thursday.
