DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
GRAND.


Nance O'Neil returned to the Grand last
night presenting 'Magda' to large and
appreciative audience. When Miss O'Neil
left st. Paul several months ago after a
summer engagement at the Grand, eX-
ter<lir -l-sNr-ce = @-Ras Mael.s -SShc left many
friends behind her among the playgoers
When she leaves this time she will have
bound these old friends closer to her and
will have added many new ones, for she
Is much improved. She has retained all
the characteristics that go to make her
a favorite and give her such a charming
stage presence, but seems to have forgot
ten and left behind all that might have
been criticised.
The story Of "Magda" is we'll known to
theater- -goers, but, briefly, it Is that OF q
young girl spurned by her people, who
goes out into the world to make her own
way and falls. Then came the trials, and
then triumph, as an artist whose name
Is on every lip. And then she comes back
to the home of her girlhood and there
meets the man responsible for her down
fall. She receives an offer Of marriage
from him and, to please her old father.
decides to accept, but spurns him when
it is intimated that their child must be
kept in the background. The supposed
willfulness Of Magda, which is in reality
her strong mother love, so irritates her
father that he attempts to kill her, but
he is stricken with apoplexy, and the
story ends in his death.
Miss O'Neil was seen in 'Magda" when
here before Then fault might have been
found, but in the Magda Of last night
it would be hard to pick a flaw If there
are perfect things, then Miss O'NeiI as
Magda, is perfect. At times her support
was not Of the best, but all the more
credit is due her in that she seemed to
surmount these difficulties In her strong
scenes with her father and with the ia
ther of her child she was superb and the
appreciation of the audience was made
evident with numerous curtain calls
The part of Lieut. Col Schwartze.

Mckee Rankin. 1t Is a character that is
well suited to him, and he is not slow to
grasp the opportunities that 1t offers
