EOX'S THEIATER.

Douglas Fairbanks, as "Old Doc Cheerful,' in his latest production, "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo," and four acts of vaudeville are the attrac- lions at FoN's tonight.
 The moral Of the story of "The Knickerbocker Buckaroo' is that do- ing something for somebody is wor- thy and laudable ambition, but that unseifishneSs can sometimes be car ried too far, and unless guided by calm judgment may bring the unselfish one results he doesn't expect, and second lN, that the proper place 10 start any reconstruction in character is at home. Douglas plays the part of Teddy Drake, wealthy New Yorker, who de- cides that life is all wrong because of his selfish qualities, and starts out 10 do unselfish things in the world, which gets him into a series of amusingly complicated situations laid in the west
 "Fhe knickerbocker Buckaroo" is filled to he muzzle with Fairbanks stunts one of the exciting episodes is that of the star clim bing out of the window of a speeding Pullman, con tinuing up 10 the roof of the car and running along the top of the train, then jumping to the swinging arm of water feeder from which he leaps onto the back of a horse. This is the start of a thrilling chase in which two hundred cowboys pursue Fair banks for miles tip into the hills.

come 1aVOflIe on the LyCeum stage, Erville Alderson, takes the part of w. r. Yates, a shySter lawyer, has another part that is indispensable to the suc- cess of the play as it provides the nec- essary element of comedy. As the third rate lawyer, MT. Alderson takes a trying part in finished way and has added another to his already growing string of character impersonation successes in this city. Among the fe- male characters Mrs. Nina Gleason has one of the most difficult roles While she appears in but one act, Mrs Gleason, as the supposed mother and then as the proved guardian of Ellen Neal, IS given a great opportunity for character work and she takes the role of the simple, God-fearing woman of Inc working class in a most excellent manner. Particularly touching is her acting while on the witness stand, tes- t1fyng to the Chara cter of the girl. and in the final expose when she tells the story which shows Judge Filson to be the father of the girl, she handles a delicate part in a most genuine manner. Other parts are taken by w. B. Short, butler; Henry Freeze, as Judge Atkins; Irving Wise, a court clerk; Virginia Zollman, as Mrs. Full lerton; Josephine Sake, as Ann, her daughter. and Howard Wesehe, a clerk.
 Although touched upon last, the work of Miss Ethel Van Wadron, as Ellen Neal, should rank first among the leading members of the cast. This week Miss Van Waldron has her most difficult part thus far but she handles 1t in real fashion and never once does .9 n1 a habits of the usual stock company player. As the simple girl, as the skeptical woman who wants to live and be happy, as the mother, fighting for her son, as the exhausted and half crazed accusor in the police court and finally, as the weary young mother, who finally learns her real identity and finds father and protector in the person of the great judge she gives a demonstration of acting that cannot be bettcred. The applause that greeted her efforts show that the usual crti- cal audience was pleased with her work.
 "Common CIay'' is the best that the Cormican Players have yet produced and will doubtless be patronized by capacity houses during the remainder of the week. Concerning this play the dullOI, tlGVeS NluhCdu, IIctS LllS IOl- lowing to say:
 The theme of Common Clay came to me when I was about five years old,' said Gloves Knl1ead, the author. 'I used to lie in my bed on cold winter mornings when the maid servant came in to build the fires and wondered why she didn't seem to mind the cold, or if she did why it was that she had to build the fire and I could lie under a warm cover and pity her."
 The better to understand this it may be mentioned that MT. Kinkead's theme is the social inequalities of the world. The lesson in this play is that given the same chance there is little difference between us-that under the skin we all are the same Common Clay"
 "Common Clay" is MT. Kinkead'3 | first contribution to the stage and it is 1 interesting to note that his second 1 play, The Mood of the Moon," will
 be produced very shortly on Broad 1 way by A. H. Woods
 Next week the Cormican Players
 will appear in "Very Good Eddie"
