"MoTHS" AND "THE GREAT UN-
KNOWN" AT THE GRAND

Miss Percy HaSwell and the George
Fawcett company, which has inaugu-
rated the summer season in such an
auspicious manner at the Grand, will
enter upon the second week at that play
house this evening. Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday Wednesday matinee and
night, Ouida's romantic story Moths,
will be presented.
Moths is a play of strong con-
trasts. The scene on which it opens Is
typical of the entire situation. There
is background of gaiety and twink
ling lights, worldly brilliancy and fash
ion and very worldly sin. In the midst
of this picture there appears lily in
dazzling WhiteneSS, making the black
ness of the surroundings to appear
more black The lily is Vera, the fair,
unSpotted daughter of a gay, pretty,
unscrupulOus woman, Lady Dolly Van
derdecken. This innocent crature the
mother compels by lying treachery to
marry the Russian prince, Zouroff,
whose open wickedness is known to all
the world. Vera's maidenly fancy has
been given to CorreZe, a singer of high
birth and still higher ideals.
After her marriage the prince tauntS
her with Correze, while Haunting in
her presence Jeanne de SanneZ, the
woman he loves. Vera refuses to re-
main in the same house with her and
chooses as an alternative Zarisis, the
princes house in the bleakest part of
Poland. She lives there alone for a
year, but at last as her sorrows seem
closing around her, her friends come
to the rescue. The prince is killed and
Vera is allowed to begin a new life,
with vision of happiness and romance
opening up before her.
For the latter part of the week, COM
mencing Thursday evening, THE Great
Of hn hGS Of 1cfi
Daly's comedies, will be the bill. This
VIII be the first presentation of this
farce in this city. This clever play
met with marked success by the ia
nous DAILY Stock company, at Daly's
theater, New York, some ten or twelve
years ago. The play was adapted by
the late Augustin DAILY from one of the
German farces that were so popular in
that day and tells an interesting story,
In broadly humorous way and has
many ludicrOus situations and complf-
cations. It's original presentation in
this country enlisted the services of
such Well known people as Ada Rehan,
Anne Yeamans and James Lewis. 1t

ufarly suited for the exploitation of
