PLAYING about her on the lawn. Inside
servants were passing from room 10

Grand Opera House.

"A Baggage Check" was presented again last evening to a large audi ence and 1t will be repeated this after noon and evening. Farce comedies as a rule carry about ten people and a few trunks, depending entirely upon the resources of the theaters for seen cry and effects; but MT. Giles Renolds, the manager of the "A Baggage Check" realizing that one-half the suc- cess of play Is its surroundings and details, conceived the novel idea of carrying everything required, thus leaving no loophole whereby his pat rons could class "A Baggage Check" with the ordinary travelling show.
 The Great Interna tional Vaudevilles, composed of the picked artists of the world, brought from all quarters of the globe, each one being a stellar attraction in their several roles, will be at the Grand Opera house to- morrow evening for one night only. Although this is one of the most eX- pensive organizations on the road, this season, the management after mature deliberation have decided to let the prices remain as usual.
 Wonderful Montanas" will be the special feature of this fine company, Their act is described by an exchange, as follows: When the applause had subsided the curtain was rung up and disclosed a sugar loaf looking appara- tus in oak and brass. This formed part of the plant of the Montanas, who gave a startling illusion called "Elec- tromania." A gentleman is introduced into the above mentioned box, is locked in by committee invited on the stage, wicker basket is then placed over all, pistol is fired, five seconds are count ed and To and behold the gentleman who was so snugly locked up in the box is not there, but is in the dress circle in view of the whole house. Nor is this all. Upon the box being unlock. ed and the lid raised there appears to view, rising from inside, handsome young lady attired in g. lovely evening costume. This act is a great surprise to every beholder. MT. Bunnell could only secure the services of this com. pany for one night only. It is a re. markable attraction and no doubt the house. will be packed.
 A charming play will be presented at the Grand the last two days of the present week, with matinee on Sat. urday. "The Two Sisters" is a series of living pictures representing life in a great city on the same simple home. like principles as "The Old Homestead pictures life in the country. Denman Thompson and George w. Ryer are re- sponsible for both, and it would in- deed be difficult to decide which of the two is the most realistic.
 Miss Ella Morris, the only woman ventriloquist, delighted the visitors to the lecture hall annex at the Grand Opera house last night. Miss Morris will be seen at every performance. The mechanical shoe still remains and is source of great amusement espe. cially to the women and children.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

One of the best programs ever .pre- sented at Wonderland is that of this week. Every act on the long program is excellent. The principal attraction is the Baroni Brothers, and nothing so wonderful in the way of contortion has ever been seen here before. Sam and Kittie Morton are another team that elicit great applause. Their dancing is great and there is novelty about their act that is particularly pleasing. All of the other acts on the program are good, and it is no wonder that the house is crowded at every performance.
