At tf.e Bijou

Counsel for the Defense," at the Bijou last night, is full of human interest, is a slam at modern politics, a knock at vel low journalism, an up-to-date theme and well-acted play. The performance was Shea, an actor who is well known in the north and east and who is now winning much favor through the southern states He plays the leading role The Counsel for the Defense in a murde trial in criminal court in which he defends the husband of the woman he loves and a man who is accused of murder which he, himself, has committed.
 The time of the play is few weeks be- fore state election. The first act is at a fashionable saloon where politics is the main subject under discussion and where enmity is expressed by Henry Desmond and John Leslie for a man by the name of Richard Mathews. Mathews Is intoxi- cated and follows Desmond from the place. He finds Desmond and In an at- tempt to shoot him, the gun Is turned aside and Mathews is killed instead
 Circumstantial evidence points to the
 
 and tried for the crime. How a political machine becomes interested in the con- viction of Leslie, their attempt to tNy Desmond off from defending him. the threats they make and the different forces brought to play on Desmond by the po- litical machines through the newspapers and how Desmond defied them, acquitted his client and kept himself from being in- volved in the crime forms a human in terest story that reaches all classes of people.
 A peculiarity of the cast of characters is the absence of women. The larger part of the action of the play is done by men and the contrast between the good in the lawyer Desmond and the bad in Political Boss Strong is an accurate portrayal of what Is accepted nowadays to be too frequently the condition of politics. Spen- scer Charters does good work In the role of the political boss and gives excellent support to the leading actor, MT. Shea. For the rest of this week the pro- gramme will be as follows: Tuesday matinee, "Counsel for the Defense;' Tuesday Tn ursday and Saturday nights, "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde;" Wednesday Innd Friday nights, "The Bells;" Thurs day and Saturday matinees, "Tempta- tion." Each production will be com plete and a finished performance is promised.

"King Dodo"

Seats for King Dodo" will go on sale at the Jefferson theatre box office at o'clock this morning. The engage ment is for Thursday matinee and night and 1t may be said that no work in the comedy opera line in recent years has surpassed this attraction. The reasons for King Dodos' popular ity are easily explained. In the first place 1t differs widely from the usual comedy opera in that there is not a line from the beginning until the end which can be misconstrued.
