ADJUSTMENTS.

Florence Bindley, in her realistic
comedy drama "The Pay TRAM" will
appear at tho Grand for one week, be-
ginning Sunday, October 8. The play
needs no introduction to our theater
goers as it was produced here last sea-
son and scored an instantaneous sue
cess. This season the proprietors have
not spared either time or money in
making it still greater, and today it
stands in the front as q mechanical
play. Notable among the scenic
effects may be mentioned the great
railroad scene, the terrific boiler ex-
plOsion and wreck Of the incline plane
truck. The company has been greatly
strengthened and in addition to Miss
Florence Blndley may be mentioned
Miss Maggie Fielding, the celebrated
exponent of Irish characters; the emil
nent comedian, w. j. Sully; Fin Rey-
noIds, late OF Hoyt's "Brass Monkey"
company; Max Won Mitzel, late of T.
w. KeeDe and Robert Downing's COM
pany, and Drew A. Morton OF the Ly.
ceum Theater company in New York.
Incidental to the play Miss Bindley
will be seen in her new and original
song and dance entitled "KIss and
Make Up Again." also her solos on the
xylophone, autoharp and goblets, the
last named being an invention OF her
own. Seats for this engagement 60 on
sale this morning.

band OF solo artists and Sig. Antonio
