THE GRAND.

%
Lovers Lane" by Clyde Fitch, one
produced in this country, will be the
attraction at the Grand opera hous.
this week, beginning With perform
ance tonight This will be the first
time that this play has been seen hero
at popular prices. 1t is to be given by
William a. Brady's company. It's run
of five months in New York, all sum-
mer in Chicago, fourteen weeks in
Philadelphia and more recently in At
lantic City, have made it famous all
over the land.
All of Clyde Fitch's plays awaken
critical discussion. They all command
popular attention. But Lovers Lane"
is new departure for this author,
who is much given to the satirizing of
fashionable feibles."-In this play of a
New England village, he has taken a
shot at the Intolerance and narrow
prejudices which aresb by no means To-
cal.
Fortunately for dramatic art Clyde
Fitch is said to have turned to the SIM
pie side of village life in a small town,
and in Lovers Lane" has given a ru-
raj play without -horseS, sheep, dogs,
cows pigs, farm implements, or any,
thing in the nature of realism, except
particularly pretty effect in the or
chard scenes of the play; trees with
separate and distinct leaves fruits and
blossoms. This is a return to first
principals, tempered with the latest
ideas in dramatic ideals
The central figures are a liberal
minded young clergyman, graduated
from Amherst, and the girl he loves
Around them are grouped eccentric
village types, many of them new to the
stage, such as the opera house man
ager, who posts his own bills an in
corrigible hoyden from the orphanage,
and the jealous matrons of the purity
brigade. The young clergyman has a
will of his own and the courage of his
, convictions. He believes in a billiard
table and playing cards to divert the
young man from the grosser tempta-
tons. His bachelor house is the ref.
uge for the oppressed of all conditions,
and is oVercroWded by subjects of his
personal bounty. His notions of future
punishment do not satisfy the more or
thodox, who cling to the good old Coo
trines of fire and birthstone.
Lovers Lane" has been deliberately
staged by Mr.. Brady.-There are four
scenes, the parsonage, the village main
street and an apple orchard with real
trees, first in the fading foliage of au.
tumn and again in fragrant blossoms of
| springtime.~ The company, it is said
| is a capable one.
The engagement will be for enc
week, with the usual Wednesday s.nd
Saturday matinees.
