THE GRAND's ATTRACTIONS

With the exception of Thursday
night the Grand Opera House was dark
all week, but the one attraction amply
repaid Greenville's theater-going pub
lie for the long wait between vttrac-
tions.
! Thursday night the curtain was rung
up on "A Poor Relation" the play
| which Sol Smith Russell made famous,
and which has been the greatest sue
| cess of that famous actors career. A
fair-sized audience greeted the compa-
nv, and each individual member seemed
| to put forth his or her strongest efforts.
Mr.. Frank Keenan, who assumes the
title role, could not possibly enact the
part of the poor relation ina more real
| istic manner had he been born and
reared in the slums of the city. He is
comedian of high reputation, and his
Greenville audience takes pleasure in
attesting that his reputation is
we'll merited. He took Mr. kussell's
! place last winter when the star was i'll,
and starred in this play, scoring sue
cess which surprised his friends every
where. MIR. Keenan, $ portrayal OF the
half-pathetic and whole artistic role OF
Noah Vale, the seedy and genius phil
osopher, is wonderfully. like Mr.. Rus
/ sells performance of the part.
Each member of the company de-
serves the highest praise, more par
ticularly Miss Maude Abbott, as Dolly
Faye. the step-daughter in the play.
Her portrayal of a sympathetic and |
kind-hearted rich girl is so realistic
that one readily sees that her role cor
responds admirably with her nature.
The children, as city waits, We're, as
some lady expressed it, just too cute
for anything.
The next attraction will be Sherlock
! Holmes, one of Charles Froman's sue
cesses. This new drama is as crafty
composition as has ever been on the
southern stage. The popularity of its
success lies in its triumph over the au-
dience. A burglar cracking safe Is
a rather rough start for high class
drama. If the bold experiment had
failed Mr.. Gillette would have been
called foolhardy. Now that it has sue
| ceeded he is duly praised for his
! bravery. Mr., Gillette spent a year or
| two on the piece and when it was
| written, but not yet acted, he felt sure
of the result; he was unreasonable.
| Doyle's tales of crime and detection
| had enjoyed intelligent readers. But
he should have feared that Sherlock
Holmes, an impossible person in print,
would be an outright absnrdity on the
stare. Could police detective officer
be made palatable to refined audience
such as he had always catered to? Yes
seems an easy answer now that he has
done it. 1t is clear too that he was
shrewd in doing with all his might
what he had determined upon doing at
lau. Instead of toning and tempering
the incredibility of Holmes abilities he
emphasized it.

Shipping Subsidies the Theme
Georgctov7 Men.

A large audience assembled at the
Georgetown Law s.sool last night TO listen
to a debate giv>.4 by the debating society
OF the school.
The debate was opened by the announce
ment of the chairman, John J. Brosnas, OF
the District of Columbia, who read the sub
feet, which was:
.Resolyed. That the United States
should establish a system OF shipping SUD
sides"
After a few remarks he introduced Tor

was once q time when the United States
had every opportunity In the world TO
favorabIy compete with foreign nations.
We had immense forests of fine timber. and
the wooden vessel was constructed at most
reasonable rates. We always had abund-
ant ships TO carry our trade, and subsidies
were unknown. However, the wooden ves-
sci went into decadence. and the iron
hulled ship replaced the wood. No longer
could the United States take place In
competition with Great Britain. and the

The watch case manufacturers held a meeting in
New York and combined TO combat the union

sides" From this the speaker drew con-
illusions. claiming that the establishment
Of shipping subsidies was Of no value to the
United States.
The next speaker introduced was
Dionysius F. o'Brien. OF Rhode Island,
for the affirmative. On his introduction,
, he spoke of the great interior growth and
INCONSISTENCIES OF the United States caus-
ing the negligence OF commerce. He con-
tinued by citing statistics showing great
declines in merchant marine since the year
1880. and argued contrary 20 many OF the
assertions OF the negative. He spoke OF
the supremacy of American vessels today.
and talked of the advisability of the pro-
lection of these ships by the American
flag. He denounced the assertion OF the
negative that the mercantile trade was
purely q private business and had little
bearing on national interests. He said:
1T IL folly TO state that what is public
in England. France. and Germany is pri-
waite in the United States" Later he
summed up his argument in the following
sentence: ''If we wish TO extend our power
over sea we must sail that sea with our
ships" He claimed the merchant marine
a na,al power in case OF war. and said that
the lack of the merchant marine in the lats
/ spanish American war was painfully evil
! dent.
| After Mr.. 0'Brien lad concluded his
address the last speaker for the evening.
| otto Bosshard. of Wisconsin, for the mega
/ tive was introduced.
! His argument on the whole, was devoted
| TO plea against the passage of bill IN
| Congress establishing system OF shipping
/ subsidior. He concluded his address
with the point that the establishment OF
i such a system OF shipping subsidies would
be detrimental 10 the interests of both the
Government and the people of The United
/; States.
