CUBA'S vow.

CUBA'S VOW
"Cuba's Now,'a drama in five acts, by
J. j. McCloskey will be the attraction at
Grand Opera House, Saturday afternoon
and night and there Is every reason to ex-
psct that repetition of last years success
will be the result of its revival here and at
this time. 1t is II play which appeals
largely to what is called "the popular
heart 1t affords opportunities TO the
players for effective defamation Of noble
eentimenli, and its dialogue allows of The
expression Of conflicting emotions in u
dramatic manner In short it is II "mov-
Ing play" when presented to audiences
liking their mclodraHn drawn in bold
broad strokes, with intense unlnistakabIe
colors. Contrasts Of chura" are abur-
dant, and until the very tnl ,IIftain, vii
lainy Is pittcd against virtue TO the lat.
ter's almost constant discontinue. Each
act ends with IL laDl>au Of force and effect.
