1t is the impression around the Grand that
the stock company's performance Of
Moths tonight and all this week is going
to be one of the treats of the season at that
house. Moths is no ordinary play. It's
elements Of strength are far reaching, and
it's dramatic worth has long been recognized
and makes it peculiarly well adapted to a
company like that at the Grand The four
characters of Vera Herbert, Lord Jura,
Prince Zuroff and Correze form a partcu-
Iarly strong quartet. The stage settings and
the costuming of this play will be a feature
worthy of admiration. Mr.. Bellows has ex-
pended much time and thought on the
production and the various people in the cast
have had their parts longer than usual, so
that their study has been more careful than
ever. Mr.. Congers picture Will form the
souvenir for tonight.
There are three acts in Grant Stewards
comedy Mistakes Will Happen" which
Jacob Lifts company will present at En-
glish's tonight for the first half of the week,
and 1t is said that they are three as anus
ing acts as have been seen in an American
farce this season. The first shows the
dainty apartment of an actress with all OF
those little knick-knacks dear to the pro-
fessonal woman's heart. The second act is
novel, and shows a coachhOuSe so divided
that both the loft and the ground floor are
seen and both are practical. The third act
shows the interior of a fashionable boarding
house. An excellent company headed by
Charles Dickson and Henrietta Cr0Sman,
will be seen in the farce.
Seats may be obtained at Englishs to-day
both for Alice Nielsen, in 1.-The Fortune
Teller" which will be sung Thursday and
gives a matinee and night performance at
English's next Saturday.
Bob FItzsimmons and his vaudeville COM
pany arrived last evening for their opening
performance at the Park this afternoon and
tonight They will remain three days Civ
ing speciality bill Fitzsimmons will spar
three round at each performance with
'Yank" Kenney and also give his bag
punching exhibition.
There is an actor in Mistakes Will Hap
PEN who is most gallant. and in his
younger days. when his gallantry was large
ly in excess of his pecuniary means, it once
got him into rather awkward predicament.
There was a young lady, of whom he was
very fond, and to whom he liked to send
great punches of flowers. and he had made
an arrangement with a gardener to let him
have, from time to time, a bouquet in return
for his cast-off clothes One day excep-
tionally handsome bunch of roses came
from the florist and he at once sent it to
the lady in question. Certain of a friendly
welcome that evening he called at the house
and was very much surprised with the
frosty reception.
lady remarked in the most frfgid tones.
Ia note?' the actor inquired in aston
ishment
Certainly. along with the roses"
ITO be sure / sent you some roses"
And there was q note inside. Do you still
mean to deny ito" And with these words
she handed the astonished actor scrap f
paper upon which was written the following
words:
Don't forget the old trousers you prom
ised me the other day"
