The Vance Comedy Company opens
Thursday evening at the Grand, pre-
senting that wonderfully successful
comedy entitled "The Limited Mail"
During the week Queen of the Circus"
will be played. Patent Applied For"
and "The HiddaIn Hand" will be play
ed. Little need be said Of 'eThe Limited
Mail" as its reputation has passed
over the entire country many years
ago, this being it's eleventh season of
uninterrupted success.
"The Hidden Hand" is well known
from the famous novel Of Mrs. South
worth's from which Mr.. Vance has
carefully adapted his version, follow
ing every instance of Importance and
carrying to produce it eight new and
elaborate sets of scenery. In Mr..
vances big production "Patent Ap-
piled for" is a realistic ship scene when
the vessel, "The Savannah" encounters
a fearful gale just as she clears from
the city in whose honor she is named.
The big ship is cast on the crest Of the
giant waves, the sails are torn to
shreds by the whistling winds, and it
is decidedly wierd in it's vivid realism.
To produce this effect Manager Elmer
r. Vance carries for the first time in
the history of the drama, special
stage from city to city to be used at
every performance Of "Patent Applied
For" 1t is an ingenious interlocking
sectional stage, (30x34 feet of Mr.
Vance's own invention on which he has
secured patent.
To produce the wind he uses blow
er of five thousand pounds pressure
worked by ten horse power engine,
and strange as it may appear at the
exact moment that this scene was be-
ing presented in Columbus making al
lowance for the difference In time, the
real City of Savannah, making the
same trip SO yividly presented in the
play, was in exactly the same straights
during the awful strom which pre-
vailed that night. 1t is certainly a
wonderful coincidence, and Manager
vance's representative, Mr.. Leighton
is ready to swear that vance's 5000
pound pressure blower was responsible
for the entire cyclonic disturbance.
