THE JAMES BOYS IN MISSOURI
:. AT Grand Opera House, St. Paul !.

AT Grand Opera House, st. Paul |.
saThe James Boys in Missouri"
which comes to the Grand next week,
is high-class melodrama based on the
lives Of the famous Missouri desper-
ADDE'S, and unlike productions taking
the same theme has nothing of the
.s.blood and thunder" element about it.
Thrilling incidents are chosen and
these combined with an interesting
love story and the most elaborate
scenery ever furnished a production
of this kind, make the play one of the
successes of the season. The blue
Cut Train Robbery" is portrayed with
an elaboration of scenery which is sell
dom euualled in the best metropolitan
theatres, and it is very real train
of cars which the company carries with
it to accurately portray the incidents
of this sensational hold-up. The play
takes the James Boys from the Civil
War until Bob Ford assassinated Jesse
James. While the title Of the play
may seem a little daring, the produc-
ton is of high moral tone throughout,
and also has a fine bit of clean comedy
interspersed. The company selected
this drama is large and
competent one, containing the names
of many we'll known artists.

SUMMER SEASON AT THE GRAND

But one more week will intervene
before the opening Of the summer sea-
son at the Grand opera house, which
on Sunday night, June 18th, will in
troduce to the boards Of that popular
playhouse, Miss Percy Haswell, Mr..
George Fawcett and their strong act
ing contingent, known as the Geo.
Fawcett Company.
Artistically the success of summer
productions depends not only upon the
Individual ability of the various play
ers that go to make up the company,
but also on the length Of their assocl-
ations and the measure OF harmony
they reach in the ensemble OF the va
rious productions. Many companies,
composed of clever individuals, have
been organized for summer work, and
yet have failed of the purpose artistic
ally for the reason that the efforts OF
the different artists did not blend prop
erly The selection OF a company nav.
ing in view finished ensemble and
a harmony of talent is in itself a
faculty that but few managers pos
sess. Mr. Fawcett has always been
happy in this feature of the work, and
the various companies that he has as
sembled at times in different parts OF
the country have all been noted for
their striking success of combined

Fawcett brings to assist Miss HasWel1

Inactivity of the opposing armies OF
Russia and Japan continues, and no
fighting of a general character Is re-
ported. Information coming from an
authoritative source in St. Petersburg
is that the Russians will winter at Har
bin. but the fact that there probably
will be two months of good weather for
military operations before extreme cold
weather sets in, leaves room for a re-
vision of this purpose, in the light Of
events that may transpire. The Japa-
nese are reported to be collecting taxes
and otherwise administering affairs in
Manchuria, as though that country
were conquered territory.
The publication of General Kuropat-
kin's report of the fighting from Au-
gust 26th until the retreat upon Muk-
den has created a better feeling in
St. Petersburg.
The report distinctively places upon
General Orloff the responsibility for the
failure to hold the heights in the vicini-
ty OF Sykwantun and so check the Jap
aneSa advance.
