slavery question enters into it some
what. Then there are two babies who
are interchalged at the christening,
one white child and the other the
child of Roxy" a negro servant,
whose child is only thirty-second
part negro BY this interchange the
white child grows up a slave and the
negro boy the master The white boy,
who is supposed to be a slave and
grows up as such, is all good, while
the negro boy is diabolically devilish
and all bad. Then there is an at
tempted murder. All of these things
are at the last cleared up by Dave
Wilson, with his despised theory of
thumbmarks, which has been part of
the cause of his being called

1.-THE Planters Wife" of which this
is the cast, is to be done at the Grand
during the coming week. The play is
a strong drama of the war period and
has two specially strong parts. Harry
Lacy used to star in the male role. and
then Maude Granger, thinking the fe-
male part offered the stronger posi-
bilities. made it her starring features.
Those two characters are portrayed by
Mr.. Edwards and Miss Remark.
This week was to have ended the
supplemental season at the Grand, but
as winter still continues to linger in
the lap of spring, Mr.. Rogers has de-
cided to go at least another month.
Unfortunately, he only booked Mr.
Edwards up to next Saturday night,
and that excellent actor then leaves
and goes for the summer to the Man
haitian Beach at Denver, where they
put in every night in the week and
Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday
matinees-only nine performances a
week. Mr.. Rogers expects to replace
Mr.. Edwards with an imported man.
and rumor last night said he was
negotiating with Mr.. Brinker at the
Lyceum.
The Lyceum company will present
this week the play of Divorced" with
the cast as given below. The Russells
still continue to give vaudeville turns,
and between the second and third acts
will present several new specialties.
