The most enjoyable place in the city
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings
was at st. Patrick's parish festival. The
workers of the parish made an extra Of
fort to make this the most successful OF
the many successful festivals they have
held and they succeeded. Everything
was most tastefully and thoughtfuily

Next weeks attraction at the Grand
will be Carroll johnson in his successful
Irish Drama, 1.-The Gossoon." johnson
is star and ''rhe Gossooa" is play for
the people, possessing every element
necessary to bring out the most beautifN
Irish story ever offered to the public.
Everything is as bright andfresh as a new
ly ninted coin. The scene is laid in the
Emerald Isle. The story is natural, con-

are especially we'll fitted to bring out the
great powers Of johnson, who is unques-
tlouably the first Irish comedian of the
stage today.
