so DISAPPOINTING.
Audience at Grand Expected Some
thing Racy and Didn't Get It

Audience at Grand Expected Some
thing Racy and Didn't Get It
A top heavy house saw Vanity Fair
at the Grand opera house and found the
attraction a sort of half and hair af-
fair.
The company advertises itself with
some old stock paper that was used in
the past by companies of questionable
merit. The costumes shown are decid
edly abbreviated and people are led to
believe that the production, to say the
least, will be rather racy. Those who
expected that and crowded the bald
headed row were disappointed. The
company numbers a dozen people and
opens with a comedy in one act" en-
titled "a Dead Shot" which is followed
by vaudeville. A farce in one act' has
it's place on the programme as the clos
ing number
The vaudeville part is what might be
called half and half" About every
other number was at least fairly good.
Walter Hyde billed as ''America's great
est violin virtuoso" pleased the audience
and was recalled several times. Hen
rietta Duke handled coon songs of the
latest pattern in a manner that pleased
Frank Urbane played a varied assort-
ment of musical instruments and mod
elled clay. Katherine Camp, 1.-The Amer
lean prima DONNA" sang well but the
gallery was disappointed. The perform
ance was so tame"
The performance was great i'm

der the same name.

cause liquor cases appealed from the

said: 1.-The facts are that the validity
of the ordinance under which all these
prosecutions are had is now pending in
the court of appeals, having been sub
mitted last June, and a decision of the
question is expected from that court
within few weeks. The city attorney,

WANT FREE OPIUM.
Wholesale Druggists Favor Abolition
of the DutV

Chicago, Sept 19.-Importation of
opium into the United States free of
duty was advocated at the opening of
the twenty-sixth annual convention of
the National Wholesale Druggists as
ISOLATION. The plan to abolish the duty
on the drug was urged as a means to
make it's use more available and to save
paid to the government as duty on the
600 pounds of opium annually inn
ported. Opium was declared to be dis
eliminated against by the government
on a false belief that a heavy duty on
the drug discouraged the opium habit.
The proposition to petition congress
was referred to a special committee.
The convention also adopted a report
denouncing as class legislation the war
stamp tax.
