AT THE OPERA HOUSE

"Over Niagara Falls" at the Grand
last Friday night was we believe the
best written, best acted and best
arranged scenic melodrama that has
ever been presented in this city.
The company carries all the scenery
used in the production-and it takes
lots OF 1.-THE people composing the
cast could not be improved upon and
the plot Of the play was most absorb
ing and interesting. AS a usual
thing two or three people in the cast
OF any play get all the praise but the
critic cannot say this Of the production
in question, for every one in the play
were actors and actresses OF the best
type and it was oneof the best balanced
companies that has ever showed in
this city. Carl Berch as Asa Phillips
and Blanche Aldrach are strong
characters, and the scene where Mile.
Madeline has the interview with her
husband in the reception room was
one OF the finest bits OF acting we
have e seen. The lady has not
only an intelligent conception OF
her part but is capable OF acting it to
perfection. We trust that we may
again have the pleasure OF seeing this
talented lady at no very far distant
day.
Not only is all the scenery carried
Tor the production OF "Dad's Side
Partner" which will be given at the
Grand on Oct, 9th. but a special
moving picture linn mas been made
by the Edison Company expressly for

OF the story till the mystery is solved
in the last chapter.
Suppose you were quietly undress-
ing in your room at a London hotel
when suddenly a terrified man rushed
in, locked your door, and told you
that the men outside were going to
kill him. Suppose you liked the mans
looks, 80 that your fighting blood
was up to defend him. What would
you do when his enemies burst in
your door and tried to drag him off
without law or warrant? And suppose
the man possessed some momentous
secret which made him the victim OF
al international conspiracy, and that
a beautiful American girl seemed to
be n OF the conspirators. Interesting,
is it not? Well, that is only a hint OF
the first chapter, and the story carries
one along in a whirlwind Of mystified
excitement to the end.
Mr.. Oppenheim is a wizard with
the pen. Americans are only begin
ming to realize that he is one OF the
greatest masters OF exciting narratives
in this decade. He is an Englishman
with an American wife, and characters
from both countries figure in his
novels. "The great Secret" is a
m arvel OF its kind. The first INSTALL
ment will appear in the Sunday
Magazine Of The Chicago Record
Herald, Sept. 80.
