It is a pleasure to announce that
Mason and Mason are to appear here
| in Rudolph and Adolph," which is a
I comedy of a rather higher class than
those usually labeled musical or farce
! comedy. Mason and Mason are very
| clever German comedians and the
things they do and say are irresistibly
funny, the more so because they aD-
pear to be unconscious Of doing any
thing funny
Take the mirror scene for instance,
The plot of the piece depends upon
the fact that these two look exactly
alike and their wives and others often
get them mixed. So, in order to de-
stroy the likeness, they both decide
to shave, and approach from opposite
sides of a double mirror which has he
glass broken out. The shaving is per-
formed and the two men do exactly
the same thing at the. same time, fol-
lowing each other. each under the inn
preston that he sees his own refieC-
ton. This is exceedingly amusing in
the way il is done. They are also
good singers and dancers. their sing
ing of German parodies on popular
songs never failing to receive from ten
to fifteen encores In addition to the
strong company supporting them, a
large chorus of pretty girls also az
pear in the many specialties and mu-
steal rumbers with which the piece
abounds.
The attraction comes to the Grand

part of the week, with Wednesday

! Charles Frohman granted an inter-
view recently, the subject being Maude
Adams condition. Frohman dOesn'
often talk, but this subject was driv-
/ ing him to desperation. In the course
of this interview. he said: "A new
play now being written for her by
Justin Huntly Mccarthy Will not be
ready until March l. and if the condi-
tions here are favorable at that time
/ she may be seen in New York again,
but this is very uncertain. As to the
rumor that Miss Adams and 1 are mar
ried it would be proper to let the lady
deny it first. But as she is not here,
take it upon myself to say that such
stories are both ridiculOusly and I'M
qualiiedly false
The "rumor," however, is certainly
interesting, and there is no denying
the fact that the entire profession be-
lieves Mr.. Frohman and Miss Adams
are. domestically,- one.
