CRAND OpERIA HOUSE

Americas biggest brightest and best
comedy and vaudeville company, the
SpOOnersg headed iby Edna and Cecil
and supported by twenty dramatic and
vaudeville stars, will open weeks's en-
gagement at the Grand Opera House
next Monday evening The opening
oil will be The Judges Wife" a COM
edy in four acts. There will be an en-
ire change of program at each per-
iormance Commencing Tuesday there
will be DIME matinees daily, except
Christmas, when the prices will be 10,
20 and 30 cents. The Scranton (Pa)
Republican of November % says: "The
SpOoners closed their weeks engage
ment on Saturday evening with a
crowded house. On Saturday afternoon
the matinee was the largest in the his
tory CT the town, there being 800 paid
admissions. In fact the week was a
record-breaker. Every performance
drew a big audience, and several times
during the week standing room was at
a premium. No repertoire company
ever played to such phenomenal busi-
ness as did the SpOoners last week, and
it is only truth to tell that these ble
houses were well earned. II is without
doubt the finest repertoire company on
the road. The dramatic features are
not only superior to all others, but the
specialties are on an order that would
command full houses it. they were pro-
duced alone"

Miss Lillian Kennedy, the star Of all

rOmpy. eifervescent kitten of the stage,
full of smiles, dimples and graces,
dancing and singing her way into our
affections. Who of us has not a warm
corner of his heart for her; who will
ever forget the names of Lotta and
Maggie Mitchell, or come closer to the
present generation, our own Lillian
Kennedy? Graceful and petite in figure
handsome and piquant in feature and
winsOme in voice and smile, she fits
ike a ray of sushine through the per-
iormance, and leaves a never-to-be beef
