Grand-"AIone In London

So few really good actors and actress

some one of indebted ability interpreting
this much-abused line of dramatics. Such
must be the opinion of large number of
theater-goers for the audience at the
Grand last night was only measured by
the capacity of the auditorium.
"Alone in London does not promise
much at first appearances but it must be
remembered that 1t is one of the old time
plays, written before the wild and wierd
had, cucoo like, driven out all good
things that might occupy its ill-gotten
nest. 1t is a rational melodrama, re-
plete with good opportunities for work
and in the hands of the present company.
fewof these possibilities are lost.
Miss Tanner was last seen here in the
title role of THE Sporting Duchess"
Her versatility is proven by her work
in the present piece. In the dual role IF
Annie Medows and Nan, the flower girl,
Miss Tanner does some notable work.
She possesses both beauty and ability,
those merits so rarely discovered in one
person, and in this case. REINFORCED by
a liberal supply of intelligence. The
supporting company is good. especially
in the case of Mr.. Charles Garfield. d
thoroughly villainous villain; Mr.. Louis

presentation was a brilliant success, and
both the actor and the author were as
sured of the success of the dramatization.
Mr. Mansfield was called before the cur
tain and made brief speech.
The work of the star was revelation.
and in it he adds another success TO the
already long list of stage representations.
The comedy calls for the use of more than
a score of speaking parts, and special
scenery and music aid in preserving the
local German color, so charming in the
original story.

Acndemy-"At the French Ball."

Had the management of dainty Fannie
Rice years ago provided her with such
support as she now enjoys she would long
ago have been placed on the pinnacle of
notoriety, if not of fame, as the prettiest,
the wittiest and the funniest woman on
the American stage. Since her appear
ance here some months ago the company
presenting AT the French Bali has
been increased and the performance has
improved proportionately. Miss Rice as
Nancy is the same plump, piquant, pert
and pleasing woman as of yore. No 9TH
er entertainer possesses such contagious
laughter, such epidemic humor and so
decidedly correct ideas of what is really
desired by the people in the way of a
clean, modern comedy. ''At the French
BALI is unique skit by Mr.. Fred
Schrader, of this city. and. in addition to
some clever situations, spiced with terse
and tart dialogue, he succeeds in teaching
moral lesson in such a way that it is
absorbed unconsciously. At the end of
the first act Miss Rice received a perfect
ovation. AS she appeared before the cur
tain the orchestra played a clever ar
rangement of national airs, during the
rendition of which the ushers distributed
to every one present small metal repro
auctions of 'Old Glory a pleasant sur
prise to all.
