Mr.. sheldon to Return.

telegram received last evening by the
management of the Grand Stock Company
contained the welcome announcement that
Herman Sheldon, one OF the favorite men,
bers OF last years stock company. will re-
join the present organization within the
next two weeks. In fact it IS quite likely
that Mr.. Sheldon will be here the latts
part of this week. Ever. since early last
month efforts to secure Mr.. Sheidon's re-
turn have been made. He was under con-
tract to Mr.. Bellows and IL seemed as If
4 would be impossible TO secure him this
season. Manager Hunt persisted, however
and finally managed TO get an affirmative
answer from him yesterday. 1t Is only by
the payment of large salary and by ar
ranging matters with Mr.. Bellows that Mr..
Sheldon's services were secured. He was one
of the prime favorites of last season and
will be given an ovation upon his first ap-
pearancs with the stock company two weeks
from tomorrow night. AS a character ac-
tor Mr.. Sheldon is brilliant. He came here
from the Greenwall Stock Company, New
Orleans last year and at once jumped into
popularity with the audiences at the Grand.
His Baron Stein in Diplomacy" Hart
field in Jim the Penman.' Tomasso in Mr..
Barnes of New York" and other impersona-
tions will be remembered as among the
gems Of the season.
