American Girl Proves a Pleaser.

American Girl Proves Pleaser.
The Ellefords were greeted with an
other good house last evening at the
Orpneum TO witness the comedy drama
American Girl = The piece, which
was well mounted, proved to be most
interesting play and one that was filed
with lots of good comedy and strong
and natural situations. The plot of
the play has been told in the advance
notices, but to be appreciated must be
seen.
The stars of the evening were the
little Osborn children, who appeared
in the roles of Prince Roy and Vir-
ginia They carried themselves like
old time performers and read their
lines in natural and clear manner.
Their specialties were also well re-
ceived and they were compelled to re-
spond to numerous encores. Miss
Auda Due had the trying role of JAS
mine and filled the character with
credit, and we shall expect some great
work from this lady during the en-
gagement. She is a clever, painstak
ing little actress that works hard to
please. OF course George Hernandez
was sthere with the goods as Ross
Bolter and was ably seconded by Miss
Matte Lloyd Luce as "Twister,' and
her song in the first act made hit.
These two work together in all their
comedy scenes and always bring down
the house. Pietro Sosso gave manly
performance of Phillip Devon, and
Clarence Ferguson gave a pretty stage
picture of an English nobleman,
while Lawrence Underwood handled
the disagreeable role of Sampson Craft
in painstaking manner. The balance
of the cast was up to the usual Ellie
ford excellence.
The same bill will be repeated to-
night, giving way tomorrow evening
to the drama HBeacon Lights By
request "Pals' will be given at the
Saturday matinee.
Checkers Out for Hit Tonight.
Tonight the Pollards will undertake
"Checkers. y This is one. of the most
successful American comedies ever pro-
duced and the name part is just exact
1y suited to Alfred Goulding. He
plays the part of naturally smart
American youth who is up against the
real thing until he meets the one girl
and finally makes a big winning at the
race track in Chicago.
The piece is full of humor and of
clever situations. Eva Moore as the
girl IS more charming than ever and
her dainty stage manner has never
shown to better advantage than in this
piece. The whole play is so carefully
worked out that the interest of the
audience is held from the moment the
curtain rises till the end of the last
act. There is a laugh every minute
and some very exciting situations, es-
pecially when Checkers is standing in
the betting ring at the race track and
urging the horse he has bet on to win.
Of course the horse does win but the
situation is so clever1y exploited that
the people who are watching from the
front of the house are worked up to a
great state of excitement and, when
the word comes that Remorse' has
won, sigh of relief goes up.
Checkers is admirably suited to
the personnel of the Pollard company
Each one has part that suits him
perfectly. Teddie Mcnamara, as
race track tout, will surely make a
great hit. He wears a checkerboard
suit and has line of talk that would
make cat laugh The play is funny
and clever and will certainly make a
hit.
