AIRS THREE PRoRLTMs.

1.-THE Climax" will be the offering at
the Illinois Thursday evening. This
will be the first appearance in this
city of this remarkable play, which
only recently closed a run of almost a
year at Weber's theatre, New York.
Leona Watson, bingham Pinto, How
ard Lange, Thomas Fallon and the en-
tire original New York production will
be seen here.
The Climax" is a drama in three
acts by Edward Locke, with a musical
setting by Joseph Carl Breil. In THE
Climax" three problems are utilized
in constructing the foundation of the
play. any one of which would provide
sufficient material upon which to base
the average play.
Primarily, we have that much dis
cussed question as to whether Bohem-
ian atmosphere and a stage career I'LL
timately disqualify a woman for asso-
citation with the more exclusive of her
sex In fact, the eternal question as
to the morality of the actress and op-
era singer.
Secondly, we have the idea. so much
exploited of late, that of mental sug-
gestion, whereby the will of one per
son, in some particular instance, be-
comes so subservient to that of an
other that a whole line of action may
be indicated and carried out.
The third problem is that unanswer-
able question as to whether a woman
with a wonderful voice is better engag-
ed in singing lullabies than in electri-
flying an audience. These ideas are
interviewer in THE Climax" forming
the most unusual and thoroughly de-
lightful play of the period. Critics and
public have been unanimous in hailing
THE Climax" as the best play since

EVANS AT HIS BEST.

Our old friend, Charlie Evans. who,
with his late partner. "Old Hoss'' Bill
Hoey,. put more real laughter over the
home plate than regiments of those
who have come along noisily since, is
booked here as the bright particular
feature in the rollicking farce. They
Loved a Lassie.' which is the offering
next Saturday. matinee and night, al
the Illinois. This play is a bounder of
fun. which has whipped life into a
thing of joy for months and months at
the Whitney opera house. Chicago
The farce was written by the English
actor, George Arliss, and the principal
role is exactly suited to Evans. The
fun crackles and blazes from the mo-
ment the first curtain goes up, and the
tingle and flame never falters for a
until the drop sets on the clos
ing situation. Aside from Mr.. Evans,
there is Alice Yorke and Forest Huff,
