"THE LITTLE MINISTER"
Decentralization of Barrie's Book at
the Grand This Week.

Decentralization of Barr1e's Book at
the Grand This Week.
'"The Little Minister beautiful story
in the original, which J. M. Barrie it's
author, has successfully transferred to
the stage, will be presented at the Grand
opera house all this week, commencing
tonight.
1.-THE Little Minister has gained its
tremendous favor by reason of it's pure
charming story, told in the same fas-
Gil ating way on the stage that Mr.. Bar
RE told it in the book. Lady Babbie,
roguish, and bubbling over with mis-
chief and fun, but with true little heart.
is its heroine, and the play presents her
as if she had just stepped out of the
pages of the novel. All the quaint and
elders and their associates are preserved
in the mimic panorama of Scotch life,
and 1.-The Little Minister" is the verita-
BILE ordained young gentleman himself,
as interesting and sentimental as Lady
Babbie found him.
The first scene of 1.-The Little Minister
is Caddam woods, where Lady Babbie.
in red gown, with rowan berries in
her hair, surprises Gavin Dishart, the
little minister. There has been trouble
between the weavers of the town and the
soldiers, and a signal of warning has
been agreed upon which will apprise the
the redcoats. The signal is the blowing
of horn. Babbie gets the little minis
ter to blow the horn, and then follows
the conflict with the soldiers, in which
Babbie figures on one side and the lit
tie minister on the other. After fight,
Babbie, hooded and cloaked, passes
through the line of soldiers, announcing
herself as the little minister's wife, and
he offers no word of denial. Thus she
makes her escape, in spite of a great de-
sire to capture her, and many precau-
items taken to that end.
Next we see Lady Babbie and the
minister In old Nannie's cottage, whittier
Gavin has gone on mission. There is
tea-drinking and considerable discussion,
during which 1t becomes evident to Bah
bic and the others that the little min
lister is in love with her. Later on, when
Gavin should be at prayer meeting. he
is found following the gypsy girl around
and they have further love scenes, not.
however, before the fact becomes plain
able to Babbie, and that some are very
sore at heart because the minister pays
attention to the girl and is evidently
making a fool of himself for her.
concerned to Lord Rintouls castle. There
Lady Babbie is revealed in her real
character as the fine lady. The minis
ter's surprise is great, for he has thought
their love and the fathers consent to a
marriage is asked. But he has other
plans for his daughter-he wants her to
wed somebody else An interesting dra-
matte situation ensues here, and the cur
tain falls on Lady Babbie insisting that
Gavin shall acknowledge her to be his
wife. as he did that night in Caddam
woods to the soldiers. The last act is
said to be full of surprises.
The role of Lady Babbie will be por-
uayed by Miss Frances Stevens, an ac-
tress who was last seen here two seasons
ago with William H. Crane. She will
be assisted by a company Of exceptional
merit.

lied in the play are confined in the num-

direct contact after her withdrawal from

two Pitt Crawleys, the world loving Miss
Crawley, Rawdon, George Osborne,
Amelia and Joe Sedley, the stupid and

to be one Of the strongest that Manager
Singer has secured this season, and it IS
also said to be crowded with bright things
of all kinds, selected with particular
reference to the fact that up-to-date en-
tertainment Is the only sort people are
willing to tolerate nowadays.

said to be a harmonious mosaic OF the
best elements Of native and European
burlesGuers. The cast contains a large
number of well known American stage
humorists prominent among whom will
be found Frank Bernard, a dialect fun
ster of the broken-tongued Teutonic
school; Ben Grinnell, R. E. Warren and
Harry Short, comedians of distinctive
types; Harry A. Smith, Miss Clara Palm
er, Miss Nellie McNaughton and Miss
Carrie Reynolds.
A story carries a coherent plot, happily
conceived and of sufficient interest to
give good reason for the introduction of
the characters who figure more or less
prominently in the action of the piece. A
Coincidence of the Casino stage is sup
posed to desert the mimic world and find
refuge in Cairo, thus avoiding a serious
affair of the heart. She turns to the
creation of millinery CONNECTIONS for
livelihood, and, while thus employed, Is
discovered by her sweetheart, New
York doctor, on whose account she fled
the stage. From this point amusing COM
plications are topsy-turvied in a most
abandoned manner. A couple Of comic
opera robbers so terroriZe a Self-import-
ant German brewer (made a pasha Of the
country by reason of the introduction Of
his beer into the palace of the khedive),
that he arraigns the American student
for the crimes of his tyrannical brigand
advisors. A pretty love story unfolds In
the working out of the plot, and conf
calities are met with at every turn.
Harry B. Smith, the Iibrettist, selected
Cairo for the locality Of the two acts,
and the scenic artists have built a most
imposing environment faithfully repro
ducing the noted garden square Of that
sun-tinted city Of the Eastern continent,
and the interior CT the superbly decorat-
ed palace of the present ruler of the Nile

carried out on an elaborate scale. Lud-

sic. The sale of seats opens tomorrow
