One hardly needs to say that these
familiar characters are the cast of
East Lynne" which forms the bill for
the coming week at the Grand. Miss
Warren will revel in the double emo
tional roles she will essay-roles which
call for more copious weeping to the
square foot than any others known to
the stage. Edwards should fit the part
of Carlyle admirably and we own we
are curious to see what Mr.. Gngersoll
will do with that prince of all viii
lain's parts, Sir Francis. Old as it is,
we look to see East Lynne" attract
a great deal of interest.
It is sad to think that our friends at
the Grand. who have done so much to
make the past winter pleasant for us,
are only birds of passage after all,
and that the season is almost here
when they must abandon the cosy nests
they have made and fly away. The
season at the Grand comes to an end
the middle of next month, but there will
be a supplemental season which will
keep the house we'll open into May. One
popular player, however, will leave
almost Immediately. That ona
is Hugh Warde, who has just sign
ed d contract for the summer with
Morosco, the successful manager Of the
old Grand opera house in San Francis
CO. Mr. Warde closes here on the
2Sth of the present month, with the re-
luctant permission of Manager Rogers,
who did not wish to stand in the way
Df his making an advantageous summer
enga cement. Mr.. Warde says the terms
are in all ways satisfactory. Mr. Rog-
ers has his eye on this very versatile

probability he will return to us for the
fall opening. Let us hope so.
When the curtain rings down at the
Grand on Saturday night April IL,
Miss Warren. Mr.. Ingersoll. Mr. Eide
son, Miss jerome, Mr.. Tooker and Mr..
Hathaway will say goodbye. When
the curtain goes UP again on the fol-
lowing Monday night it will be on a
new company. with Mr.. Edwards as
leading man, Jennie Remark as lead
w. King, old man on heavies; Brigham
Royce. utility and stage manager;
Madge Carr Cook, anything and every
thing on earth: Helen Henry, SOU
brette, and Julia Dean. a general aid. |
Hence only three of the present com
pany will remain for the supplemental |
season. Miss Warren-how many
goes at once TO her home in New York |
for a long rest. 1t is understood that |
she could have remained had she been |
willing to accept a reduction in sal |
reproductions being the rule for sup |
elemental seasons. Mr.. Ingersoll will !
go to Australia with Nat Goodwin |
next year Mr.. Blossoms plans were
not learned, but certainly so good an
actor and stage manager will not long |
be out in the cold. Miss Jerome re-
turns to her home in New York. !
