s'THE LAND OF THE LIVING"

The attraction at the Grand the
last half of this week will be Frank
Harveys picturesque melodrama, "The
Land of the Living" which will be Ella
borately produced. 1t is play which
contains story full of human interest
and abounds in situations of startling
nature. There is a strong vein of COM
edy interviewer throughout the action,
also the introduction Of several bright
specialties which relieve the sombre
positions of the drama. In the great
explosion scene which wrecks the whole
stage setting, an extremely sensational
episode takes place. Meg" the wife
of the heartless villain, makes daring
rescue of the helpless hero, who has
become a victim of her husbands vii
lainy. The principal role is assumed
by Lillian Washburn, formerly of the
famous Washburn sisters. For her
picturesque Interpretation of the char
acter she has been receiving the en-
comiums of the press throughout the
