His Better Half" viii be seen at the
Grand the last half of this week. 1t is
said to be one of the funniest farce
comedies that has ever been played in
this city for years. The company is
composed of exceptionally bright and
prepossessing people. everyone an artist
in his way. The play has just thread
enough of plot to remind one of what
was going on after some Interpolation
had been finished. The brightest.
cleanest specialties, catchiest music,
richest witticisms and most ridiculous
eccentricities go TO make up the night
mare of fun bound up in His Better
Half" 1t would be difficult to individ-
ualize because no one sustains
straight role. but assumes various
characters in specialties introduced, as
well as in the piece. This is the return
engagement Of His Better Half which
made such pronounced hit earlier in
the season.

The Boston Globe, in a review of Mr..
Wolfe's work, says: THAT excellent
and thoroughly well-trained young ac-
tor, Mr.. Harrison ]. Wolfe, made a
strong impression with his graceful
and powerful voice His athletic figure
and fine face enable him to look the
part to perfection, and few modern ac-
tors have such command as he of the
carriage and gesture proper to clas-
sic heroic role. His splendid voice and
excellent evolutionary method gave
their fullest effect to all his lines. He
made manly, noble, convincing, and
lin spite of the difficulties the play
right has thrown in the actors way)
sympathetic figure. Few of the younger
men now on the stage are so well fitted
with natural gifts and training for the
great romantic and tragic roles as is
Mr.. Wolfe" Mr.. Wolfe will present
''Corsicsn Brothers" at the Opera
House tonight: David Garrick" at the
Wednesday matinee, and Hamlet at

The FRS, Christmas Card.

The first Christmas card was born in
London in 1916. 1t was designed by j..
c. Horsley. r. A.. and was of simple.
homely character. II was printed by
TYPOGRAPHY. and afterward colored by
hand. This first card sold for a shilling,
and was Enthusiastically Christmassy.
Its size was that of lady's visiting card,
and in this small area were contrived
three pictures. In the centre is family
gathering; three generations are seen
feasting at a table covered with good
things, and they are washing down this
solid meal with alcoholic liquors. At
either side OF this picture appeared anoth-
er, representing seasonable charity the
whole forming striking contrast with
the cards of recent years, which, as a
rule are anything but Christmas.like in
character.
