have such treat ahead of them as may
be expected next Friday, when Mrs
LeMoyne, the most delightful comedy
actress on the American stage, fills an
engagement of one night at the Grand
in new and original play of modern
life, By Glen Marlborough, entitled
among Those Present" In this play
Mrs. LeMoyne is believed to be better
fitted with regard to her talents than in
any other drau attic vehicle she has had.
She comes to US in the role of Mrs.

and well acted. will be the bill at the
Grand tonight, when Edwin G. Whites
production of Gypsy jack will be
given with Willis Granger as the star.
Thesstory hinges on the struggles of a
gypsy, who at the death-bed of his re.

of wealthy English nobleman. He
seeks out and discovers his father, just
in time to controvert the designs of

gain possession of the estates which
belong to Jack. There are
many exciting melodramatic episodes in
the piece, which are handled in the most
style. Many beautiful stage
settings enhance the interest of the
story.

down to support him little. The cap
tain then took hand and the man was
stripped and creased, pushed and pull

was called, the man by this time being
much exhausted, and a sea coming up
was getting ducked pretty freely. There
was nothing left but to cut out the
frame of the port, release the man and
make all secure. This was done, but
the end was not yet. The man was
free, but the frame or ring Of the port
hole was round him yet. He had swol-
len so from the experiments already
tried that it was impossible to file 1t
off, although several attempts were
made, and as a last resource he was
put in the refrigerator to see if cooling
him down might reduce his size, and so
get him clear. This was done and
proved a little help, and after a time,
with the aid of the engineers, he was
freed. 1t will be hoped that in the fu-
ture he will be more careful in his
FRANKS. The whole matter was the out

could get through the port hole and in
