lage Postmaster" with Archie Boyd in
the leading role and the patrons of the

storm Of real water and ends in the
third act with threshing machine at

enc, and composes the original cast,
including that versatile and excellent
actor, Archie Boyd, who puts as fine
personality into the part of postmas-
ter as he did Uncle Nat and Josh Whit

The Grand.
Through the Breakers was present
ed last night at the Grand opera house
to a good sized audience. This is the
piece which was presented at the Hy-.
peripn last season and scored such q
great success. The management of the
Grand has secured this fine production
for this season at this house. The me-
chanical effects are some Of the best
seen at the Grand this season. This
production has a very realistic sea
scene with the waves rolling almost to
the footlights and finally storm in all
its fury, all to be plainly seen by the
audience. The journey of the heroine
through the breakers to the ship, sus-
pended on tossing lifeline, forms the
climax of the third act, but is by no
means the only sensational effect pro-
duced in this comedy drama. The tele-
graph scene in the second act and the
fight on the cliff in the last act are de-
clared every bit as thrilling. The COM
pany that is presenting this drama this
year includes a number of those in the
original company. Among those who
should be mentioned are Sol Aiken and
Miss Josie Bacon. Others deserving of
special mention are Joseph p. Keefe, j.
Hay Conan, w. d. Hone, r. d. White,
Miss Mcintyre, Miss Walker and Miss
Evelett. All lovers of a first-class dra-
ma should not fail to attend Through
the Breakers" which will be repeated
this and tomorrow nights and to-mor-
row afternoon.
