Maude Granger at the Grand Tomorro W
Night.

|
With the fair sex especially is the en-
gagement of Maude Granger at the
Grand on Monday and Tuesday of more
than ordinary interest. They have all
heard of this lustrous-eyed actress who
has been so prominent in the drama, not
alone as a star, but as leading lady at
Wallack's, Daly's, the,Union Square and
others of the fashionable theatres of
New York. They know her as an ac-
tress, and her reputation as one of
the most elaborate dressers on the
to their interest, for this always was one
of the failings of femininity Tim again
they are also anxious to see the play
Inherited" which Lucy Hooper has
written, and OF which SO much has been
said. There is not lady in the land
that reads the newspapers of the present
day and does not know Lucy Hooper,
and has not admired her brilliant Paris
ian letters, a happy combination of Cos
sip from the gay capital, touching every
thing of current note from the most i'm
portant political question to the latest
freaks of Dame Fashion. She is credited
with having been as clever with her pen
in dramatic construction as she is in
interesting newspaper correspondence.
In the stage detail of her play, she has
been assisted by Richard Davey, the
well known critic of the London Times,
a playwright and journalist of repute.
Inherited is spoken ofas a play strong
in situation and force, ofpeculiar beauty
and intensity. Miss Granger has made
in it one of her most substantial sue
cesses. THERE'S large demand Tor seats
for her engagement, and by special ar
rangement with her managers, there will
be no advance in prices.
War Views at Los Angeles.
War relics are always interesting, and
particularly so are the Brady war views,
which Colonel l. Holmes Grover will
unfold at the Pavilion on Saturday and
Sunday next. Nearly eight years ago
Colonel Grover was permitted, by Cen
eral Ordway, of the war department, at
Washington, to exhibit these govern
ment scenes, and he did so, first at Phil
adelphia, occupying the Academy of
Music, in thai city, entertaining large
audiences under the immediate direction
of the combined G. A. r. posts of that
city. He has since exhibited through
out the principal cities of more than a
score or more of states and territories ;
also in Europe before the leading
crowned heads and nobility of that part
of the world. All of his exhibitions are
given for the benefit of the G. A. r.
posts and Woman's Relief Corps, and
the attendance should be very large
upon these occasions. The first night
will embrace the principal events from
the fall of Sumter to the battle of Get
tysburg, and the second will commence
at the siege of Vicksburg and end with
Lees surrender at the Appomattox,
The prices are only 25 cents to ali parts
| of the house.
Dixey's Seven Ages.
The company to which Mr.. Henry E.
Dixey gives his name and his graceful
nimbleiegs is now looked on as the repre-
sentative burlesque organization of the
country. From the samples of burlesque
! that have come from the old country
the limit is not apparently confined to
America, for in them there is little that
the English companies have to offer,
while they might borrow some
of Mr.. Dixey's methods to adj
vantage. The genial comedian has
been wise in his generation; he has
thoroughly eradicated all those objec-
.tionable features which have unfortu-
naoeiy m1iftated against the fair tame OF
burlesque as an element of the drama
and has correspondingly elevated it as a
a department of stage art. In the Dixey
burlesques are no less refined than the
Old Homestead, and many of the so
called drawing-room dramas. With all
this he has succeeded in furnishing
bright, musical and laugh provoking at
tachments that have endeared him to all
lovers of high and low comedy. Adonis,
which has been seen here before, will be
given its 306lst performance here next
week, but the 'Seven Ages" a much
more serious and elaborate production,
will be seen for the first time. The lat
ter has earned Mr.. Dixey an enviable
reputation as comedian of the high
est rank.
The entire cast will be utilized in both
productions. which will make a busy
looking stage, considering it comprises
fifty-five people. The company carries
the scenery entire for both plays, the
best work of Americas most famous
scenic artists.
The Greatest Show on Earth.
John Robinson will be here for one
