Robson and Crane in 1.-THE Hen
rietta" at the Grand.
Laugh and the world laughs with
you. That's why Robson and Crane
are so popular. They make you laugh
whether you want to or not, and one of
the most enjoyable of all their funny
productions is their presentation of
Bronson Towards comedy The Hen
rietta." 1t was played at the Grand
last night to a large audience, who
thoroughly enjoyed the feast of humor
that was spread by the celebrated
comedians. The Henrietta" deals of
Wall street where fortunes are made
and lost in the great game OF specu-
lation. William II. Crane appears as
Nicholas VanalStyne, the king of the
street, who has amaSsed colossal for
tune. He has two sons, one OF whom,
BERTHE, is ''lamb," totally ignorant of
business; the other, Nicholas, Jr., a
sharp fellow, but thoroughly unscrupu-
lous. THE Henrietta" railway and
mining corporation, in which the
Vanalstynes are deeply interested, is an
object of attack by rival operator, who
blocks the older Nicholas at every turn,
and he is unable to detect his
DON Gt1ul SCCIOb oh4l4ic
absence the grand onslaught is
made on The Henrietta the
ammunition being furnished by the son,
who uses his fathers securities to trans
fer the fortune to his own pocket.
Nicholas, ST., reproaching his son for
his baSeneSS, leaves the brokers' office
believing himself to be bankrupt, but
BERTHE, who has considerable money left
of his fathers gift, hands the broker a
check which a few minutes before 3
o'clock runs 1.-The Henrietta" up again,
and restores the millions TO the father
who had been betrayed by his son.
Nicholas, Jr., seeing he had lost, IS
overcome by the shock and falls dead.
As a matter of course Robson and Crane
are the soul of the play, although they
are supported by an unusually fine
company, each one of whom gives spice
to their respective representations. In
the part of wary, far-Seeing speculat0r
Mr.. Crane is perfectly at home. he
looks the character, and acts 1t natu-
rally. Mr.. Robson seems TO have been
moulded into the part of BERTHE, the
Lamb. and both of them provoke mirth
by every word and look. In addition to
possessing a finely constructed plot and
finished lines, the play is a cutting satire
on the financial methods Of this age.
The Suggesting is magnificent, being
the same that was used in the Eastern
metropolitan theaterS, where 1.-The
Henrietta" had such great run last
season. The same bill tonight and the
remainder of the week.
AT THE PEOPLES.

card last week at the Peoples and so
many expressed desire that the play
be continued another week that the

quest and postponed the production of

ley march, entitled, "G. A. R." con-
