HAS CHECKERS"
ON BOARDS FOR TODAY

The seem Is a-race track, the
horses are at the post, and after three
false starts get under way. In the
home stretch two of them fight for
the lead, nose and nose, and in one
of the greatest racing Genes ever
witnessed an unknown horse, ridden
by a girl jockey, dashes under the
wire as O winner.
That Is but one of the many thrill
ing scenes in Checkers" the well
known racing play which has been
made into a big special moving picture
by William Fox and which opened
yesterday for q run at the Crescent
Theatre. It Is q masterful production,
rich in romance and prodigal in
wholesome sensation. 1t carries a
strong heart interest throughout and
Is ably presented by an all-star cast,
which includes Thomas j. Carrigan,
Jean Acker, Ellen Classify. Robert Ell
lott, Tammany Young, Bertram Mar
burgh, and Ed Sedg'wick. 1t was di-
rected by Richard Stanton.
Thousands have seen the great
photoplay. made from the famous rae
ing play. and praise of the production
has been general M enthusiastic.
The picture Is played by an all-star
cast and is one Of the most ~spectacu-
lar dramas seen here in a long time.
It's stirring scenes and delightful ro-
nance must inevitably live long in
memory.

"ROSELAND GIRLS" COMING
TO MAJESTIC ON MONDAY

James E. Cooper's b~urlesque clas-
sic Roseland Girls company an
nounced as the next attraction at the
Majestic theatre next Monday, Feb
ruary 10th, matinee n night. 1t
is sufficient to say that Harry Cole
mar and Bert Lair. the well known
comedians, who have been provided
hicle, entitled, Before, After and
After That" a comedy in two acts
inc eight scenes, are even greater
fun makers than before. To a
nothing of the beautiful chorus Of
20 of the handsomest girls that eve
trodded a DOT on the stage. An ag-
gregation of beauties gathered from
tho -four quarters of the earth.
The book which was written by
William K. Wells, Is full Of witty lines
and intensely funny situations worked
into play by Coleman and Lain who
have the happy faculty of knowing
how to produce laughs. A score of
enchanting ensembles Offering a pot
pourri of cleverly arranged dances
and quite an abundance of dainty
song numbers.
The plot of the play has to do with
nothing In particular but to furnish
good material for producing laughs
for which Harry Coleman and Lair
are equal to calling forth. To say
nothing pf the superbly beautiful
gowns and costumes and scenic fur
nishtng would be doing the producer
an injustice. The Roseland Girls is
a show that may always be relied upon
to furnish the sort of entertainment
that the patrons of the Majestic thea
ire like and will be enjoyed by all
the classes of theatregoers. 1t will be
helpful to the Columbia Amusement
Company whose shows play the Ma
jestic theatre.

Interest in today's bond trading
centered naturally in the movement
of the railway group. AS was to be

But the principal gains occurred in

Among the convertibles, Chesapeake
