viii Re the Attraction at the Grand
Next Week
For all of next week Mesars Flem-
ing and Waff have booked the Mabel
Paige Company, which is one Of the
best repertoire troupes ON the roao
Speaking OF the appearance OF the com
pany in chat city recently the Albany
star says:
The Mabel Paige Company again
broke the record, not only for a matt.
nee, but their audience at night more
than doubled any Saturday night an.
dience ever assembled in Albany
At the matinee they presented "h
Country Girl" and when the curtain
rose neatly every seat in the house
was occupied
AS a general thing an audience Of
ladies and children is not very demon
stratiye in their applause, but yester
day one on the outside would have
thought That there was a large number
of the male population in the audience.
Everyone left tne house more than
pleased.
As every one knows, Saturday night
is a very bad night for a show, but
last night proved the exception Long
before the first act was over standing
room only was sold.
Never before has any theatrical com
pany made the record in Albany that
the Mabel Paige company has for the
past three days.
And the company deserved the lib.
eral patronage received. No better
attraction has ever played here at pop
ular prices.

WHAT ABOUT THE MARKgT7
Council Seems to Have Entirely For
gotten the Matter.


What about that old market build
ing?
Is it to remain there as an eyesore
to every Brunswickian or is it to be
converted into a first class fire house?
City council seems to have entirely
forgotten the subject, and it has not
been mentioned at a meeting for the
past month Just how the matter
stands at present is not known. but it
seems that council should make some
disposition Of g.
Some months ago the question was
taken up by the solons, plans were
drawn for a FIRE department headquar.
ters by Bowen & Thomas, ,~e coutrac
ors, They submitted opposition tc
council. and at several meetings the
question came up, but for some cause
or other, it was deferred until the
next meetings and lately nothing at all
has been heard OF the matter
There is not a citizen of Brunswick
who does not favor the idea OF con
verting it into a fire house. 1t has been
there for years and years of abso-
'lutely no use TO the city, and it does
seem that council would do something
with the building If nothing else, let
them tear it down and seH~tne brick
1t will then certainly make a better
iappearance ..--
