1t is strange, yet true, that the play
of "We, Us & Co." which is to be seen
AT Redmond's this week, meets with
general favor wherever it goes, and
| theater-goers are always anxious TO see
it a second time. The plot is as fiImsy
rs the stories of most contemp0raneou
farcesare, but new and uproarIously
funny business has been introduced.
The fun is of the boisterous kind, and
AS the players enter heartily into the
/
| lngly happy. The play IS built uDon
remarkable partnership existing be-
| tween quack doctor aud a Wes- ern
veterinary surgeon. Their patients
are ouartered at sanitarium known
as Mud Springs, where most OF the
| funny scenes are laid. The piece is
produced by clever company, among
whom is the charming soubrette and
\ Il 4 II r,h
captivated the patrons of Redmond's
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Seymour, the mind reader, will give
one of his mystifying and interesting
entertainments at Powers Grand to-
startling and ineIplIcable, and his per-
formance battles the skeptics every
where.
The box Office at Powers Opera
House will be open oil today. Seats on
sale for Seymour, the mind reader.
In these days of physical research
spultualism, mind-reading and kindred
occultisms, public tests of the same are
largely attended. Seymour, the mind
reader who appears at Powers tonight,
is certainly one of the best of those
so gifted, who have vet come to Grand
Rapids. HIS powers are a verify yet
lnexpncable.

tertainmeut at Powers Opera House
