Heywood's Celebrities.

HeywOods Celebrities.
Ten seasons of success financially and
artistically is the record of Heywood's s
Celebrities, which appear at the Grand
on Wednesday eve, May %, under the
auspices of the local fire department.
Judging from the present outlook their
successes will be duplicated here, as an
unusually large amount of tickets have
been sold. The firemen deserve credit
for their enterprise in securing this ex-
pensive attraction instead Of presenting
the stereotyped program usually resort
ed to on benefit occasions. Apart from
the fact that patrons will assist the fire
laddies they will receive ample COM
pensation for the money invested by
witnessing one of the best performances
of the season.
"Heywood's Celebrities met with a
cordial reception at the Academy of
Music las. night and well deserved
one, for in pleasing and artistic excel
lence the members of the company
compare favorably with any similar
organization seen here this season. p
