Friend Fritz, which will be given by
Marion Manola and a carefully select
ed company at the Grand next Thurs
day eve. is one Of the most charming
productions Of the joint authors, Erck.
mann Chatrian. 1t is a simple but
beautiful and poetic story. Its Incl
dents are not exciting, but they are
natural, and its personages are real,
living, breathing men and women. 1t
pictures the placid but picturesque life
of an Alsatian village, where one of
the principal people is a well to do
contented old bachelor, Fritz kobus.
He is confirmed in his opposition to
matrimony, not from any cynical or
harsh opposition to women, for he is
of a genial, generous and affectlonate
nature, but simply because he prefers
the freedom and ease of single life to
what he considers are the burdens Of
the married state.
A warm friend of Kobus' is busy,
kindly old rabbi, whose chief aim and
daily occupation is to bring about
marriages between the young people
His constant and tireless attempts to
persuade Fritz and his companions to
take wives have been fruitless, but
Suzel, the pretty, modest and sensible
daughter of one of Fritz's tenants,
comes under the notice of the young
gentleman, and Cupid does quickly
what good old Rabbi might never have
accomplished. There is little or moth
ing of the conventional about the piece
as it has been adapted, and scarcely
ever a trace Of language or situation
ever introduced for theatrical purposes.
1t is a dramatic morsel, as refreshing
and pure as the water. Suzel draws
from the old well; as sweet as the cher
ries she picks from the tree; as fra
grant as the violets she gathers from
the hedges. 1t will be elaborately and
elegantly produced with special seen
cry, calcium effects, etc.

CONCERNING

Report About His Entering the

Not Believed to be Accurate-Judqe
Grants Statement.

Grants Statement.
A staff correspondent of the Enquirer
sent the following to his paper from
Akron Saturday evening:
"The discussion regarding the future
Of William Jennings Bryan has as.
sumed the condition of being interest
ing. Some surprise was manifested
when The Enquirer reached here to-
day with the statement from Mr..
Wynne, of Texas, to the effect that Mr..
Bryan would become a Presbyterian
minister. 1t has been known here that
he was not going back to the practice
Of the law. While on his recent trip
he was dined at the home of Judge
Grant, an independent Republican.
During the conversation about the
board, Mr.. Bryan said that he did not.
need the Presidency in the sense of
having to have a lucrative Office. 4
can get along without it. Last year /
made $4,000 and with my economical
family can live very nicely on that
"He Hestated that he had earned the mon
ey with his pen and by lecturing. He
seemed to think that he could get
along as we'll in the future. AT my
age he said, d,sT cannot resume the
practice Of law. l have neglected to
keep 1t UP and am behind the times
as lawyer. No, l shall not resume
the law as a profession if l am de-
feated.'
Judge Grant and the other guests
took it that Mr.. Bryan intended not to
enter the ministry but the literary pro-
fession and that it was his purpose to
settle in one of the larger cities"
The above dispatch was something
of surprise to Judge Grant, as he
had not supplied the information up
on which it was based.
.While guest at my home" said
Judge Grant this morning, "Mr. Bryan
remarked that it was not essential to
his personal welfare that he be elected
President of the United States. He
said he had earned $4,000 by his Chau-
tauqua lectures in 1890, and that this
field of work would be open to. him re-
gardless of the result of the election.
Mr.. Bryan expressed the fear having
gone into politics so young, that lie
might find it difficult to pick up the
practice Of law.
"In regard to his entering the min
istry, I should think it doubtful if he
did," continued Judge Grant. "At
least he did not say anything in refer
ence to that while here. l know Mr..
Bryan has profound religious convic-
tions, and apparently has made a
study of the Bible, so that he seems
perfectly familiar with every part of
it. His religious belief is quite loyal
to the doctrines held by the Presbyter-
ian church. OF the three Akron
churches which invited Mr.. Bryan to
attend their services, none was Pres.
byterlan."
