When 1.-THE Great Diamond Robbery"
is presented at the Grand opera house
on April 9, 10 and II theatergoers CT
this city will have a great opportunity
of witnessing the much discussed effort
of MIN Crinkle and e. NJ Alfriend. 1T
is said to be a masterpiece, in that it
enbodies a series Of events collected
from real life and put together in very
tangled form. The solution of nys-
terious robbery and murder give thrill
ing interest to every act and scene. The
portrayal of heartless adventures
by Lillian Lawrence, the exquisite
pathos of lovely young woman in the
hands of Maud Banks, the intense agony
Of Nine. Janauschek and Frau Rosen-
baum, the old fence" and the great
detective work Of Frederic Bond who
solves the problem of the play, all go to
make up what is called the greatest
melo- drama of the century. 1t was
doubted that 1.-THE Great Diamond
Robbery would be success when it
opened it's career in New York, but
when it ran at one theatre for three
months and played to the most phe-
nomenal success, then it was deemed a
wise venture.
1.-THE Great Diamond Robbery will
no doubt be well patronized at the
Grand opera house as the public will
have an opportunity to see a si.50 per-
formance at the regular popular prices
There will be Saturday matinee only,
at which evening prices will be
charged.
poLr's WONDERLAND THEATER.
Harry La More's sensational per-
Torrance on the slack wire is drawing
great audiences. 1t is the most extra
ordinary and exciting exhibition of
wire gymnastics seen in this city. One
of his great feats is making a change
from dress suit to a ballet dancers
costume and then dancing skirt
dance, the wire all the time being kept
swinging at high rate of speed. An
other is when he bounds from the stage
to the wire while the latter is at full
swing and easily gets his equilibrium,
all the time smoking cigarette. Other
attractive specialties make the show
an interesting and attractive one those
contributing being Mr.. Lima and Miss
Vani, the Whitney brothers, Mr.. Daley
and Miss Hilton, Miss Carrie Ezier,
Mr.. Browne and Miss Deity, John e.
Brennan and LITTLE Winnie" Ed.
Casey, and Mr.. Rae and Miss Brosche.
1t is capital laughing show, the COM
edy and sensational happily blending,
