 Comes to Jefferson

The new theatrical producing firm of A. L. Erlanger, Dillingham; & Ziegfeld, makes its first offering here at the lief ferson Monday and Tuesday next in the ''Hitchy- -Koo" edition of 1918, with Ray mond Hitchcock as the big personal feature.
 The show is an elastic scheme of en- tertainment, staged by Ned Wayburn, and seemed in 20 different spots of New York; including Brooklyn, with an Arabian Night flight to add color. Hitchcock has more to do than usual. and domi- mates the shifting scenes in the usual Hitchcock way. The music is new and the stage decorations and costumes daz- zling. Ray Dooley, Gene Tyne, June Roberts, Eleanor Sinclair Ruth Mitchell, Florence Denishawn, Charles Howard, Earl Benham and Jack Donahue are the principal aids to the inimitable Raymond Hitchcock.
 The chorus of forty under twenty" plays an effective part in the general proceedings, and dancing specialties are more numerous than ever in Hitch cock show. "Htchy" as the popular comedian is familiarly known, has been called a national necessity" by his ad- hiring friends, and his big show, with himself as the central figure. is among the best sellers on the American stage.
