Much Ado About Nothing was the play
at the Grand Opera House produced by
Mr.. Louis James and Miss Marie Vain
wright. The Avon bard has left few
more interesting creations of his genius
to delight the world for all time than
"Benedick" and Beatrice" In these
roles the stars appeared to brilliant
effect. Press of matter precludes any
attempt at analysis, but the sparkling
comedy with all its pyrotechnic display
of repartee was interpreted to the life.
A most manly ''Benedick" Mr.. James

was Miss Wainwright. Tonight Shakes
