house at the Grand this season or last
season

out on Main street, and it was nailed
over the box office The crowd grew
in spite of this notice and when it was
time to ring up. the trite EXPRESSION
packed like sardines IN ii case" told
the story.
The overlooking audience was not
disappointed, either. for everyone
seemed immensely pleased with the
piece, sunset Mines and the vaude-
vile stunts that made the intermis-
sions seem like seconds.
The company has several capable par
sons in the leading roles, who gave in
tellisert interpretations and sustained
the dramatic interest until the closing
saw as usual the triumph of right and
the bad actors. as it We're. sent way
back to sit down or do time in Sing
Sing.
The company made Il good impress
sion. one that will improve as the week
passes as the better plays are further
along in the repertoire. Judging from
last nights reception. the stay of the
stock company in Carbonate will be a
profitable one. 1t was quite refreshing

Grand as it was reminiscent of the
prosperous seasons of several years
ago.
