Sowing the Wind" was presented
 again last night at the Grand opera house to crowded house. The play will be given at the matinee to-day and again at night. The story of the dra-
 ma is well known, and is one in which every opportunity for good acting is presented. The stage settings are giv- en great opportunities also and the costuming is not the least attractive feature of the play. The quaint, yet striking and elaborate costumes of fifty or sixty years ago are shown, and these serve to set off more strongly the romance of a romantic period The east is one exceedingly we'll balanced, and everything about it is first class in every way. Charles M. Collins as
 Brabazon and Maud Edna Hall as Rosamond are excellent in the leading roles w. H. Turner as the meddle- some Watkins was very good, and dis played much ability The minor parts are well taken and show that as much attention and study has been devoted to them as to the star portions of the play. Seats now on sale Regular prices.

 The troubles of Ernest Winfield and his wife. Grace, and their battle for of the prettiest features of the new comedy drama of everyday life, l Lights of Home" The devotion of the | young wife and mother wins the hearts | of every one, and Ernest's quiet and | manly regard for the sharer of his few l joys and many sorrows (and it should | be said that the joys are very few till | the fall of the curtain) make the play | what it is-one of true heart interest. Grace is the orphaned daughter of doctor whose parents left her penniless. She became the companion of Mrs. Win field, Ernest's stepmother. Ernest fell in love with Grace, as did his step brother, Wallace. Ernests love was 1 while the proposals of Wallace weree scorned. Wallace's love was an unholy passion. For revenge | and gain he strove to poison the mind of Ernests father against him. and for l time succeeded. Ernest was dis owned and disinherited and was forced l 0 work for a livelihood He succeeded n making an humble home for his wife and child and was happy despite the 'act that he had never worked in his fife before Wallace made overtures to he young wife and offered to establish Ter in beautiful home Che having in- 1erited the elder Winfield's wealth. that she would leave her This she indignantly refused o do. The same hand which forged the will disinheriting Ernest was then em- )loyed by Wallace to forge notes for wo thousand dollars on the firm which employed Ernest. This crime was fast ned upon Ernest and he became a fu- ,itive from justice, and his home, which le had struggled so many years to make, was broken up Various other 1 roubles beset the young wife, and al- hough Ernests letters to her and the money he sent her from South Africa | re intercepted by the tools of Wallace, he refuses to believe that her husband l aS deserted her, and, as her husbands I tep-brother says, is going to marry mother in a foreign cline. Her love is f the kind that can be tried and tested |
