 There will not be a dark night at
 The Grand during this week. and ths-s atre-Eoers will have at least two high class musical comedies to choose be- tween in Coming Thro' the Rye" and ''The Prince of Pilsen." There will also be some diflicuity in choosing be- tween the last two attractions of the weak. Kelley q Shannon are making . great hit in The Walls of Jericho" and "Ths Three of Us" is being praised ell along the lthe
 "Gay New York; a musical extra vangxa seen here ten or twelve years ago. with such renowned people as Walter Jones. tramp comedian: Dave Warheld. selling hats: Lucy Daily, Eddie Toy. May Erwin and other notables, has been revived It is said to have been modernized and made much bet ter than 1t was on its first appearance here.
 What promises to be a delightful en- tertainment for lovers of band music will be the concert Thursday night by the band of the Agricultural and Aechanieal College of Mississippi. AComfn' Thro, the Rye"
 It is . pleasure tor announce the re- turn to this city of the delightful mu- stcal comedy Coming Thro' the Rye" which occurs at the Grand Monday night During it's engagement in this city last season this mirthful and thoroughly diverting work made an i'm pression upon all who witnessed 1t which will not soon be effaced. The comedy element of Coming Thro' the Rye" while farc1cal to some extent is ct the same time thoroughly clean and wholesome: It tells a story which Is auniciently connected to keep interest alive and it's incidents and situations are uproariously humorous. It is said that since "Cnning Thro' the Rye" was last seen in this city it has undergone . process of remodelling, especially as to its musical features. A great many new and original numbers have been interpolated and many new comedy bits have been introduced to give freshness to the performance generally. These are said to have vastly improved the nirth- producing qualities of the piece and to havs given 1t fresh charm. The cast Is headed, as formerly, by Mir. Frank Labor. than whom, it Is not ex- aggeration to say, there does not ex- ist today a more original. capable and thoroughly enjoyable comedian en- gagged in musical comedy. MT. Lalor's methods are of the quiet kind which strongly appeal to the sense of humor.
 Important changes which have been made in the cast include Miss Callie Stembler, comedienne of fine capabil- fties and whose specialties may be an- tieipated with unusual pleasure; Miss Dorothy Brenner, petite, graceful and altogether charming ingenue who plays the part of "Bossie"--the girl with the white horse: Miss Eveleen Dunmore. a vocalist who has the distinction of hav- ing won first prize at the National Conservatory of Music, New York; Mir. Sidney Toler. who will be seen as the, artist Van Dyck Browne; MT. Fred L. Tiden, who plays Lord Battersbee. and Mir. Vincent MacCarthy who imperso- mates "Spayce." Mrs. Robb's press agent.
