The public demands good plays prop
erly produced with appropriate seem
cry They demand intelligent acting,
accurate costuming and the introduc-
ton OF attractive singing and dancing;
In short. they demand a stage produc-
ton that appeals both to the eye and
ear and that has the worth Of artistic
merit. This is just what Jere Grady is
giving to the public this season. His
company, during the past five seasons,
has won an enviable record in this re-
gard for the productions Of his or
eanization have been praised by the
press throughout New England, where
they have a large clientele. The COM
pany is numerically and artistically
strong, and It also presents some Of
the best artists on the vaudeville
stage. Mr.. Grady presents in this city
at the Grand Opera House, week OF
December 80. opening Monday after
noon. the frankie Stock Company, at
prices that are within the reach Of all,
10. 20. 80 cents. The repertoire will be
found in the advertising columns of

by the management that patrons
should obtain their favorite seats well
in advance so as not to be disappoint-
ed for there is bound to be a big de-
mand for reserved seats for this COM
pany. Ladies tickets, good for natl
nee or evening performance Monday.
The attendance at DOckstader's dur
ing this week has been limited Only-by
the capacity of the house. On Christ
mas Day as many people were turned
away as were able to get inside. and at
every performance since the house has
been packed to the doors. In the face
of all this. Manager Dockstader has
refused to raise his prices, although
the bill this week costs him twice az
much as they usually do. The excel
lence of the program is we'll proved by
the record-breaking attendance OF the
