GRAND.
Jacob Lifts Sporting Life" by the
author of Cecil Raleigh" and Seymour
H1cks," opened to the capacity OF the
Grand last night. While the cast can
hardly be said to compare with that of
last year, it is good. The scenic eanbel-
1shments are fine. The plot is that of
Lord Woodstock, sportsman and true,
honest gentleman, in love with Nora
CaVanaugh, of whom both MaIct De
Caftefet~ and wife are trying to ruin; the
former being truly in love with Miss
CaYanaugh and the latter playing Lord
Woodstock for his wealth and title. Lord
Woodstock having lost heavily lit differ
ent adventures, depends entirely upon his
race horse, Lady Lowe to win for. him a
large stake, which will enable him to
carry out his marriage plans. The
character of Olive De Carteret by Miss
Aida Blair, woman of the world, whose
only object is that of money and a
titled love, was we'll presented. In the
third act, where she is foiled by her
supposed lover, the choking scene COM
mended great applause.
Lorlmer Johnston, as Lord Woodstock,

Andreade, money lender was fair The
character of Phillip Cavanaugh, the VIC

be said that Sporting Life" is above
the average drama, and with the scenic
effects, must be considered an extraord-
mary production at popular prices.
Sporting Life will continue through
the week with the usual matinees.
The attraction at the Grand opera
house next week will be "a Young

STAR.
w. B. Watson's Oriental Bur:esquers held
forth at the Star theater last night, and
if the saying. laugh and grow fat"
means anything, many people in ST. Paul
will have the opportunity of gaining a
few pounds the coming week.
There is nothing in the production of
last night to warrant PAL ticularly the
name of Oriental Burlesquers;" i'll fact,
some fea lures were anything but Orient
al, for instance, the Indian dance. Some
of the music did have, of course a
worlds fair Oriental flavor but it has
been heard before.
The fist half of the evenings perform

Hop Such songs as POLICY Sam,
MA Black Tulip" "Just One Kiss" t'My
Money Never Gives Out were not the
least important part of the programme
and they were made more Interesting by
the many and varied costumes and the
dancing of the singers.

one of the chief funny. men, and he had a
faculty of getting his words tangled up,

for an occasion supposed to precede> 4
wedding, and vice versa for a funeral.
Make and Annie Yale the duettists,
came in for considerable attention from
the listeners, and they were eneored time
and again.
The dancing OF William O'Rourke and
Alice Burnette also received It's due
