"The Gamblers

Charles Klein's play "The Gamblers" which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night. exploits a certain phase of the modern business worid popularly known as high finance" While the play itself does not represent Mr. Klein at his best it is neverthe, less extremely interesting and it was ably presented last night.
 Two of the principal characters are types which cannot fail to inlist the sympathies of an audience, although one of them Is a man who is guilty of a crime against the national bank ing laws and the other Is a woman who turns against her husband and leaves him for the sake of the banker who overborrowed on his collateral The play has, therefore, rather in siduous quality although it appeals tc very human and natural emotions. Ii was quite evident from the spontan- eous outbursts of applause that the sympathy was not with the ambitious young attorney who hoped to make political capital a militant reformer by sending some bankers to jail. but with that young attorneys wife, who had not forgotten her early love fer another man, and the man himself in the person of the young financier who took a long chance and lost
 Still, both the woman in the case, Catherine Darwin, and Emerson, the banker make amends for certain mis- takes to the best of their perceptions and ability, while Emerson's manli- ness in taking punishment for his wrongdoing and his successful efforts to shield his aged and innocent father from the clutches of the law, commend him warmly. Therefore the satisfac- tion seems to be general and much in evidence when Catherine tells Emer- son that she will get divorce and wait for him until his prison term is ended There is, in fact, hope eX- pressed by many, while passing out from the theatre, that Emerson will be given some light clerical work to do while in prison and will soon receive his parole so he can wed the woman he loves.
 It is all very modern and up to date. The characters belong to the present time and as such afford interesting subjects for study. There is also a great deal of promiscuous profanity which doesn't make the strong scenes any stronger, by reason of its being overdone. My God! ejaculated at a critical moment is sometimes rath- CT effective, but not when the Deity is a constant subject of remark
 As for the principal players, they merit the heartiest praise Miss Iil' lian Kemble, besides being a woman of striking beauty, is an artist of much ability and she presented Catherine in a way that brought out all the pos abilities of the part. Charles Mackay played Wilbur Emerson in vigorous style. Joseph Adelman was a realistic embodiment of militant reform, as q lawyer with an ambition that warped his soul and alienated his wife. His hard, rasping voice was particularly well suited to the character of James Darwin, revengeful and relentless rep- resentative of the district attorney, on the trail of "malefactors of great wealth"

Mutt and Jeff"

Gus Hills production of Bud Fish CTS cartoon play Mutt and Jeff, is said to be an up to the minute com edy with catchy music, especially writ ten to exploit the eccentricities of the characters of Fishers imagination.
 The story is of love and politics in a South American republic, intermin- gled with which is a touch of pathos and "slews" of laughter, and tasty dressing of catchy music, not forget ting large contingent of pretty girls and, of course. Fishers komikal kar- acter Kreation," Nut and Jeff.
