pany in a new and successful military
drama of the west entitled "The Lieu

complete scenic equipment is carried

giving as it does not only a true and
realistic history of life in a western
fort, but a beautiful love story and
quite a bit of wholesome humor as
well. 1t is a play long to be remem-
bered with a great deal of pleasure.
The next attraction at the Grand
