Several PlayhOuses.
Rosina Vokes will play a weeks en-
gagement at the Grand, commencing
Monday evening. This will be Miss
VokeS' second appearance here. and
the engagement promises to be a most
noteworthy comedy event. Last year
her performances brought out the
wealth and refinement OF the city, and
the demand for seats this season shows
the same class of purchasers. The COM
pany this year is about the same as be-
fore, land perfect performances are prom
iSed the auditor. Of Miss Vokes' talent
enough cannot be said. Born almost on
the stage, she has brought vivacious
temperament into the atmosphere of
the theater that gives peculiar charm
to the various roles she portrayS. Indeed,
there is no one like her. L here are those
who perhaps can make one laugh more
but none who. like her, can act til,
merry romp and still retain the dignity
and elegaucy of refined womanhood.
And more. there is a pathos in her act
Ing which might bring the sob very
close to the laugh. This year the com
pany includes Felix Morris. Courteney
Thorpe, Morton Seiten. Ferdinand
-Gotlschalk, }, Rolfe, Helena Dacre,
Beverly Sitgreayes, Francis Pollard and
Bessie R0lte. Tue repertory for the
week is as follows: Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. "a Game of Cards.
"A Circus Rider" THE Rough Dia-
mond;;"'. Thursday and Friday, ''In
Honor Bound," My Uncle's VII, {" "a
i'ant0miine Rehearsal;' Saturday and
matinee, Tears, "''My Milliner's Bill"
"a Double Lesson"
