A Splendid Show Coming.

Charles Klein. who has given us
The Music Master, Z THE Lion and
the Mouse Z 1.-THE Third Degree, and
other successful plays, has written a
powerful message into his late great
success, ''The Gamblers which comes
to the Gondran Theatre Sunday, Nov.
). We now look to this American
author for pulsating dramatic demon
STATIONS of vital American problems
of the day In his latest work he
has taken for a psychological theme
the gambling instinct, which he To-
calizes in Wall Street and develops
with dramatic intensity. Mr.. Klein's
skill Is by no means least in the hui
man interest he gives to his plays,
and this finer sentiment is not ne
elected in this play. Mr.. Klein has
ound out that good casts alone do
not make good performances. In "The
Gamblers he has given the players
q play, regular theatre play in
which they may reyel their heads off.

representative from st. James par
ish in the lower house of the gen

the lists as a senatorial aspirant,
but nothing has yet developed TO con.
