THEATRICAL.
THE GAMBLERS.

9Th Gamblers" will be the attrac
tion at the Paris Grand on next Tues
day, January %. This excellently con-
structed land magnifcently produced
drama by Charles Klein recorded the
longest run of any serious play pro-
duced in New York last season. re-
naming at Maxine Elliott's Theatre
for over two hundred consecutive per-
formances.
The story of the play has to do with
Wilbur Emerson. young and am
bilious speculator. who has been made
manager of the Emerson chain of
banks. He is guilty of misusing the
funds in his effort for expansion and is
trapped by the Federal authorities.
One of the directors turns States evil
dence and delivers certain incriminat-
ing notes to the Federal Attorney s
house. But at this point another big
theft to regain possession of these
notes, especially to shield his father,
the banks pres ident, who has been
wolves the young man with the law
yer's wife and stirs his jealous suspic-
ions of her.
IL is Ill tHlS SiludllcH Wn0T0 CdIner-
inc Darwin finds herself forced to de-
eide whether her duty is in giving the
notes to her husband or in attempting
to shield the man whom it is the law
yer's legal duty to prosecute. She re-
fuses finally to assist her husband, but
under provocation which makes her
conduct reasonable. The evidence
eventually reaches the lawyers hands
and the final curtain falls with the
certainty of prison sentence for the
wild cat fnancier, but the steps by
which the deneoument is reached is
full of surprises and dramatic sus-
pense.

FRANCIS WILSON.

Any one who can make US laugh
these days is always welcome in our
midst, therefore, the announcement
that the popular comedian, Francis
Wilson, is to be seen at Lexington in
his own comedy farce, THE Bachelor s
Baby, lis one that will please all class
es of playgoers for the play has the
qualities to amumse the old and young
alike. There is laughter in -'The Bach
elor's Baby" some teals, bright dia-
lOg1es, very amusing scenes and there
is well told straightforward story.
The Bachelors Baby tells a story
of a bachelor who hates children. His
brother and the latter's wife are lost
at sea and the bachelor falls heir to
their little daughter, whose heart she
wins long before he is himself aware
of it. Incidentally there is love story
woven into the comedy which has be-
come very entangled on account of the
her0's pronounced ideas in regard to
children. This, too, is Strengthened
out by the little girl and so the comedy
ends to the satisfaction of everyone.
