THE GRAND

The latest All-Sear Feature Corpora
ton production. Checkers" will be
shown at the Grand theater tonight.
Thomas w Ross, foremost of Ameri-
can comedians, appears i'm the title
role. the role in which for several
years he toured the country in the
stage production. As novel by Henry
BLOSSOM. Jr., Checkers" first came
into popularity some ten years ago.
From the play the film production has
been made, and staged under the per-
sonal supervision OF Auaustus Thomas
the well known playwright and author
Of Arizona, and who is director gen.
eral of production for the All-Star
Feature Corporation. The photo play is
i'm six parts and two hundred and fifty
scenes. The race track scenes were
staged at Havre- deGraCe and Laurel
Maryland, during the race meetings
there and i'm the great betting ring
scene were employed hundreds Of
actors.

character. His mothers death is the
signal for the downfall lie begins to
gamble, at the suggestion of a leath-
cry and humorous young tough named
PUSH" and is helped 10 freedom by
the same resourceful young pug when
the joint is raided. Push" is made of
enduring material. He is untroubled
by ethics of any known kind, a hard
piece of driftwood tossed about on the
waves OF circumstance, firm be-
lever that chance rules the world. He
persuades Checkers to leave town in
a freight car when a crime committed
during the rail is wrongly attributed
to Checkers" and the two beat their
way to GAINESVILLE, Ark, brother adj
venturers far more forlorn than the
knights Grant of Dumas and Scott.
The horses at the Clarksville race
track completely fasten the attention
of Checkers" and Push" to the eX-
tent that the former obtains honest
work in humble capacity at the sta
bles and the latter finds an easy mark
when he touts the winner of race.
