AT THE GRAND TONIGHT.

ga Man of Mystery" is melodrama of
the kind that sets one to thinking long af-
ter Nae curtain has fallen. Hypnotism has
been skillfully used in this play. Richard
GIenwood, nephew of DR.. Leslie, poses as a
highly respectable member of society. of a
religious bent. He Is leading double life,
however. and is at the head of gang of
burglars and thugs. Richard plans the
robbery of his uncle's house, and when he
is nearly caught in his crime he hypnotizes
the doctor and thus accomplishes his pur-
pose. His half-ister. Flossie, comes into
the room and he hypnotizes her also. She
is rescued by the hero, a detective known
as "Lucifer." Naturally, "Lucifer' is re-
warded with her hand, while her rascally
brother dies by poison he had intended fo-
another.
