FAT CRIPPLE CREEK"
CAST ABOVE REPR0ACH

A melodrama with the blood and
thunder almost entirely eliminated, is
AT Cripple Creek" at the Grand this
week. There have been few bills at
the Main street house recently that
have the merit of the drama of Colo
RADIO. The melodrama is unusually well
staged and the cast is above the
average.
E. J. Carpenter the manager, was
in Los Angeles last season with the
Little Outcast," which also was a
success. At the matinee yesterday the
record for attendance was broken and
fully as many people were turned away
as succeeded in gaining admission.
The plot of the play is built around
the Lost Dollar" mine. The mine is
supposed to be one of the richest in the
almost fabulously rich country around
Cripple Creek The time Of the plot
is in 1882, when the little mining city
was one Of the most open villages in
the United States. Everything went
abundance of the toughest class on
earth.
Among the scenes of riotous debauch-
cry, Maggie Mason, the leading woman,
is supposed to grow into womanhood.
With uncouth speech and barbarous
dialect, she still remains unblemished.
The second act is especially strong
and was the cause of much enthusiasm
when the Indian swung out from the
canyon wall and rescued the little girl
who had been hurled over the brink by
murderous villains.
Altogether, "At Cripple Creek" is
above the average and for melo-
drama is innocuous.
