' -Daintr. winsome Adelaide Thurston, not a whit -the less pretty an J eve a mora charming, delighted -two audi encea unfortunately small both times , at tha Academy of Music yesterday in her last season's success, "Tha Girl From Out Yonder." Cbarlotte theatre - goers have seen 'Miss Thurston in -gweet Clover." "At Cosyv Corners," ' ana last yea voted her at her beat in this sweet, simple Idyll of the Maine coast. . ' storm-swept Great Reef Island and this quaint story la enacted, afford an opportunity for realism, ao vrell taken advantage or that the aalt breath or the sea aeema to be wafted from the environment that aurrounda the .play-' era. In the character of the hoyden lah daughter of the lighthouse keeper, and the good angel of the community of simple fisher folk the' star bas a vehicle that reflecta her natural graces. In the portrayal of the wildest, happl- est momenta of this waif of the sea, or in the deep pathos of the climaxes. . Minn Thurston was equally at home, " If there la any adverse criticism of the supporting company it la of Ellae Williamson, who essayed the role of Clartre Stapleton. She was amateur ish and betrayed a self-consciousness that Jarred one'a nerves. Kalph "XV. Bell, as Joey, Clarke, a young fisher man in love with Flotsam (MUs Thurston), apparently could not recon die himself to the environment of the rugged folk among whom his lot vii cast, wtnerwiae mo upi)ort ? rood, especially Arthur I.

' Playgoers who delight , In crisp Characterisation lit plays are once more to have an opportunity to satis fy their desire, when "Checkers." by Henry K. Blossom, Jr., comes to the Academy of Music next Wednesday night. This popular play which was on the' board for three years without going west of the Missouri river, un. til last season has been called "Am erica's " greatest character play." "Whether that be an exaggeration, there Is no doubt but that- varied characters -abound In it It may bo Mid that the parts of "Checkers," "Pert." Arthur and i!adle are char, scters. Iut they are ' more atrlctly classed as straight parts. Most con spicuous of the character parts is "Push" Miller the race-track tout. It is played by Dave Braham, tfr., son of the late Dave Braham, who wrote ' and Hart. Young Braham has play , ed "PuHh" since the initial perform ance of "Checkers" in this city five years ago. 'Braham 1 doubted hla ability to play the part when cast for It, and but for his manager's insist ' ance that he could and must play H, would gladly have accepted a minor role. How capitally fitted to inter- pret this rarely excellent drawing of the up-to-date, slangy race track tout, ever ready for an emerg'eney, Braham Is. those who . have ,aeen the play' during;' its former engagements here- well kpow.vOthers . may learn when ha returns next Wednesday.

They will be welcomed by another ..wnen they ap pear at the Academy of Muslo next Saturday, matinee and night., 'The show- this year ia a capital one, tie beat Dockstader has .ever brought here, and anyone who has the slight en liking- for minstrels, or anyone who wants to enjoy a hugh laugh, will be more than delighted by the entertainment offered. The opening; part Is given an exquisite, beautiful nettlnr. radiant with numeroua vari colored electric lights, and Is very aptly called "The Templo of Gems." The songs in this first 'part, both the ' funny ones and those rendered by the vocal soloists, are ao exceptionally good that they are' encored time and again. Dockstader contrlbutea a new! song-, caned "When the Hammer on the Anvil BJnge," which baa a swing ing chorus, and Is certain to be heard on th streets here long after he has gone. The big feature of the enter tainment is Dockatader's extremely humorous make-up es the President in black face, .In his new skit called "A Dull Day in the White House," In which the government of the coun try is turned over for a day to the merry minstrel. He discusses Im portant . national topics In the fine spirit of burlesaue satire, and ' incl- dently gets Into communication byj Hla keen remarks evidently please his hearers Immensely, judging;' by the applause which they excite. .Other numbers which are very en tertaining are "The Land of Nico tine, In which there ia some mighty good dancing; and singing, a clever parade drill called "Reveille' at West Point." and Nell O'Brien's . droll humor In the closing; act of the pro gramme called "Quick Lunch." -.

It la being; recognised that among; the worst characters represented in the play are those of degenerate white men scalawags' and carpet-baggers who . unlike the Ignorant blacks knew the ., good whilst they did the evil. On the other hand. such , deltgkhtful types of negro loyalty and virtue as Uncle Nelse and Mammy Eve make strong er the bond between the ruling whites and the. well-disposed rne ru bers of the inferior race.
