BUSINESS BEFORE
 MISREPRESENTATION

At the Jefferson theatre on Friday anu Saturday with a special Saturday mati- nee, will be seen the greatest comedy hit of the decade. Business Before Pleas ure" will be the play, and it is safe to say that no comedy that has played thus town in years will register the success it will achieve. "Busin ess Before Pleas ure'' is an A. H. Woods production and A. H. Woods name is analogous with success in every case in which he has at tached his name to rlay. Abe Potash and Maurice Perlmutter, the two prin- cipal characters in the comedy. are clas- sic in their delineation of the parts. The other members of the cast are of metro- politan standard and have achieved sue cesses in many Broadway productions. Critics have been unanimous in proclaim ing the production of Business Before Pleasure.' one of the lest they have seen.

A CORkING GOOD BILL
 AT LOEW'S BIJOU

An exceptionally pleasing bill is the offering at Loew Bijou for the first of the week, which was given unqualified approval by the capacity audiences last night. The vaudeville numbers are all to the good, while the photoplay is one or the best seen at the popular playhouse and that is saying great deal
 Topline honors go to William Sisto. an exceptional clever character comedian, who kept the house in an uproar with an original monologue, put over in great shape Ssto got big hand and he well deserved it.
 "The Honeymoon Inn," another big fea- ture, is above the average miniature mu-
 sical comedies seen on the vaudeville stage. There are some novel features in
 troduced and songs and dances and pretty costumes are much in evidence. A couple of clever comedians furnish the comedy.
 Restricted and popular songs as pre- sented by Joe Ryan anc Josie Moore proved an attractive part of the pro- gramme The songs were well rendered and the act frightened by some clean comedy.
 The dances presented ty Spencer and
 Rose were the outstanding feature of their amusing little skit, 'See Me Sarah. :
 while the opening number, comedy tum- bling, pantomine and knockout acrobatics by the Randow Trio is very clever A story that deviates far from the beaten track is Gladys Rrockwelrs new est photodrama, .'The Devils Riddle, "
 the picture feature. and forms the fas- cinatinE background for this idyll of the American stage, and love acts as the prompter
 This feature is one that is bound to at tract attention because Of the popularity of the star, Gladys Brockwell who ranks among the greatest of the dramatic actresses of today, and also because Of the intrinsic value of it's story, which is adapted to the screen from the serial by Edwina Levin.

Post Does Best Work Of His
 Career in "The Masquerader'

The dual roles required of Guy Bates
 Post. in ''The Masauerader," are reve-
 lation of this finely equipped actors art.
 Mir. Post, has of course. played many
 parts in his distinguished career on the
 stage, but it is doubtful if he has ever
 had material better suited to his talents
 or more exacting than. he has found in
 this play, based on popular book. Many
 theatregoers who saw him last night at
 the Jefferson theatre were convinced that
 he Is now doing the best work he has ever,
 done. and while that is q sweeping state
 ment to make after one has followed
 him through the intensely absorbing incl
 dents of "The Masquerader," he is im
 pressed by the fact that here is one of
 the foremost contemporary actors on the American stage
 From the prologue in a London fog admirably simulated by ingenius lighting and stage devices, until the final scene, there was not a moment when the inter est Jagged, not word or gesture in which Mir Post struck a false note.

President Jerry Gwin
 Resumes His Duties

Jerry Gwin. president of the Jefferson County Board of Revenue, after several weeks of confinement at his home with influenza, was again lon the job at the county courthouse yesterday and presided over the regular board meeting.
 only matters of a routine nature were taken up by the board at yesterday s meeting. It is understood that several IT alters, including the proposal of the city authorities to lease white city pris- oners to the county for work, were talked over, but nothing definite was done

found to be fairly numerous. At any rate that is the basic idea of The Masque- rader," although in the play-and the book as well-the two men whose lives are interchanged, spring from the same family stock and are cousins, which les- sens the improbability. Whether such an exchange of identities could be made and successfully carried through. as in The Masquersder,' may be open to argument. Nevertheless, it makes a most fascinating play. It may suggest ''Dr. Jekyll and MT Hyde,S but with this difference: pr. Jekyllrand Mir. Hyde" are the same per son, while John Lother Snd John Chil- cothe are not only two different charac- ters, but their souls and minds are dtt- ferent. Only in outward appearances are they alike
 It is seldom that an audience such as that which crowded the Jefferson theatre last night gives such rapt at tention to an artist. truly gratifying evidence of an actors power to ere ate an illusion by his art. Only when MT. Post. after prolonged applause, stepped before the curtain and ex- pressed his thanks in a few appropri- ate words did the audience get a glimpse of MT. Post himself rather than the unfortunate drug addict. Chill cote, or the brilliant newspaper man, Lother. When the <wo meet in 8 dense fog. Chilcote realizes the pos sibility of calling on his double to play his role in parliament while he re- covers from a debauch in Loder's hum- tle lodgings. Loder assumes Chilcotes responsibilities so ably that kind destiny at last forces him to continue the good work so we'll begun and gives him the reward of womans 5 love. He falls heir to the name and the station in life of John Chilcote. and his wife as well, when Chsicote perishes miserably from an overdose of morphia.
 MT. Posts engagement in Birming ham, though heralded as extraordinary has not been exaggerated as a dra- matic event. Coming after so many more or less tawdry and insipid girl shows" it is refreshing to see real acting again. In all respects the com Iany is not as competent as the star deserves. but only one or two parts are really exacting and the others are adequately portrayed, Next to that of MT Post. the most important role is that of the rugged old servant, Brock acted in a forcefuls yet sympathetic manner by Elwyn Eaton. Alice John played Eve Chilcote, the woman who finds happiness through a queer twist of fate. Miss John made the character appealing by her womanly charm and histrionic gifts. Clarence Handyside as Fraide. and Ruby Gordon, as Rob- bins. were two other members of the company who portrayed characters above the commonplace.
 There will be three more perform ances of The Masquerader," tonight. tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. Stagecraft. which includes the utilization of revolving stage and other ingenius ways for creating sus- pense and heightening realism, adds no little to the effectiveness of the play.
