DANGER IN SODA.

Grand -"Tennessee's Pardner..

The attraction at the Grand next week
will be the comedy drama. "Tennessee's ;
Pardner." The story primarily concerns
the family of an old miner left at home
on Smoky Mountains Tennessee, while
the husband and father was making his
fortune in Nevada. He dies, but has
pledged his partners and companions to
keep his death a secret, and made them
promise to send letters regularly to his
wife and only child, Tennessee.
In the opening of the play Tennessee
arrives at Sand Hill, Nevada in search
Of her father Her mother is dead. and
she, failing TO receive the customary let
ters. has hurried on to find and surprise
her other parent. The miners. rough
though they are have not the heart to
tell the orphan the sad news. and the
duty devolves upon Caleb Swan, gam
bier. At this time Caleb's partner Bicc
has concluded to bring home Il bride
who is recognized on her arrival by Caleb
as a confidence woman, formerly from
San Francisco. She brings her brother
Romain, with her, both intent upon rob
bing the newly made husband. This
scheme fails through the Intervention Of
Tennessee and the story aIternates be-
tween the love Of Caleb and the orphan
on the one side, and the scheming brother
and the adventures on the other
one of the most picturesque hits in the
play is the attempt of the rough miners
to fix up the home of the pardners for
the reception Of the new wife. The coin
edy element Is said to be quite abundant
and pronounced. The piece will be found
interesting. wholesome and pleasing from
beginning to end.
