The week just gone by har been one
of fair profit for the theatre, and one
of the record breaking character for
the Grand. Coghlan & Storkwell did
not play TO much money, but the
chances are they lost nothing; the
Schilling MINISTRIES had poor business,
but that sort of attraction has to pay
handsomely to get into the theatre,
and Mr.. Burton is not behind as
consequence of their visit. Downfng's
elaborate advertising may be relied on
sssiraw well during the coming week.
Grand celebrates one of the best
weeks in its history; the holiday NATL
nee made a total of eight performances
of "A Scrap of Paper" and the receipts
could not have been far below $4,000.
Figures like these yield a handsome
profit to Mr.. Rogers, whose expense
account is kept lower than it ever was
before; the only trouble is that weeks
like that are the exception instead of
the rule and that they are offset by
suAh occasional frosts as BLOW for
Blow"
Speaking of "A Scrap of Paper" the
gentleman at the Grand who presides
over the literary department of the
house, should know better than to give
j. Palgrave Simpson the credit for the
authorship of the play. If Mr. Simp-
Son had ever produced anything like
that, we should not have people n the
audience wondering who Mr.. Simpson
was. So admirable comedy could
only have come from the hands of the
master-Sardou; there are several
adaptations from the French. and Mt.
Simpsons is one of them. If we mis-
take not. Mark Wilton, the old time
actor of this city, translated another
good many years ago, and he used to
endeavor to persuade the Home club
p produce it, It is not to the credit
Of that organizations discernment,
that it once called a rehearsal of the
play and then abandoned it, fearing
the piece would prove too ''talky.
