The Choir Singer" a play with
songs. is the usually attractive offer
ing at the Grand Saturday matinee
and night. During Its recent appear
ance in New York The Choir Sing
er" at once established itself as a
metropolitan success of the first or

play and which in a measure accounts
for its popularity with theatre goers
of all classes. is the fact that attrac-
tive musical numbers are logically in
troduced at appropriate times, the
songs being woven into the plot
which revolyes around the efforts of
the heroine. young Virginia aristo-
crat. to conquer fate and fortune by
means of her vocal talents. Elabor-
ate scenery and large company Of
carefully selected metropolitan play
ers assure for The Choir Singer"
a thoroughly adequate performance.

TONIGHT AT
THE GRAND

Mr.. B. c. Whitney, of Detroit,
Mich. the well known producer of
musical plays, is perhaps the young
est OF the great impressarios OF this
country, and he undoubtedly has
more successes to his credit in this
line of business than any other man
Of his age. Not only has Mr.. Whit
ney spared NO expense to make his
productions perfect from a spectacu-
lar standpoint, and secured the best
talent available for the various
roles of his notable presentations,
but he has also secured the exclusive
services of Herr Gus sohlke, who is
conceded to be the greatest creator
of stage pictures and chorus eyolu-
tons at present catering to the wish
es of the amusement-loving public.
The fact that the sparkling musical
surprise, the Isle of Bong Bong"
which win be the attraction at the
Grand opera house tonight is under
the direction of Manager Whitney
and was rehearsed by Herr sohlke,
should alone be sufficient guarantee
of its merit.

sTAIR-cLIMeING AN ART.
Grace and Muscle Result From Do.
Ing 1t Properly.

All the beauties of olden days were
painted upon the stairs. They fully
understood the artistic value of a
graceful pose upon a handsome stair
case.
II a woman knows how to go up
stairs gracefully she borrows height
and dignity and shows off a hand
some gown advantageously.
Stair pictures have been very
much the vogue in the East the last
season. Many society women have
posed in this fashion and made love
ly pictures. Pose and gown are the
essentials.
Many women go up stairs awk.
wardly and ungracefully. They think
chiefly of the climb, and not of how
they look.
The figure should not be rigid. but
the shoulders should be held erect
One should keep the shoulders well
back In descending and the head we'll
up.
From the standpoint of physical cul-
ture there is nothing quite the equal
OF stair climbing. 1t strengthens the
heart; makes the liver active and linn
bers up the muscles. 1t is the most
graceful OF all exercises.
Most women take pains to do as lit
tie of 1t as possible.
The physical culture rule is to climb
with the knees without making use of
the muscles of the back. But this Is
very difficult. The knees grow very
tired. There is distinct art in throw
ing ones self forward until one goes
up naturally and easily. But one must
not double up nor bend the shoulders
Most women puff when going up
stairs. But this is a sign of a weak
pair of lungs. Others groan and grunt
but this means tender muscles and a
weak heart. The woman VINO arrives
at the head of the stairs dizzy and
painting is in bad need of a course in
physical culture. And the woman who
cannot climb at all is in a sad condi-
ton physically. She should begin at
the very lowest rounds of the gym
nasium ladder.
1t is worth any woman's while to
learn to go up stairs easily and grace
fully.

How to Hang Pictures.

Oil paintings and water colors

intimate companions, but the latter
may hobnob with etchings, pastels.
drawings, photographs, and even en-
cravings, without losing their dignity.
An oil painting of exceptional excel
lence should be given a special posi-
tion
Water colors and pastels in delicate
tints and black and whites and soft
etchings should be properly placed in
wall spaces where the light is strong
est. The darker and more heavily
shaded pictures should hang farther
away from the light. From the family
colored pictures in the clearest light,
the glance should be involuntarily
but skillfully led to the deeper-toned
pictures farther back in the room.
Sometimes, however. a dark corner
that needs Frightening may demand
a lighter picture or a spot of brilliant
coloring may be risked. A pen-and-ink
sketch with white mat fills in well in
such a case. Harmony must be stud
led, and the position of a picture we'll
considered before its place is decided
One with broad white mat should
never be hung next to a carbon in a
heavy black frame. The eye must be
led. not jerked, from one picture to

less sweetening than any other kind,
