4The Red MIL,

Charles Dilingham's production, The Red Mill" the musical novelty of the year, with book and lyrics by Henry Blossom and music by Victor Herbert will be seen here at The Grand Thurs day Thanksgiving matinee and night,
 "The Red Mill" comes with perhaps the most thorough endorsement ever accorded a comic opera, having been presented for an entire season at the Knfckerbocker Theatre. New York City, during which time some 37s per- formances were given, with engage ments In Chicago. Boston and Phila- delphia, of three months each. The play is conceded to be the most novel musical offering of many seasons, haV- ing a consistent and well written story with a melodramatic thrill" which fairly took New York off its feet--the escape from the mill.
 Mir. Herbert has provided score of musical gems, and Mir. Dillingham; has given a production in his well-known, princeiy style. The scenes being laid in Holland, ample opportunity is given for the most picturesque scenery. while the costumes are decided quaint and artistic.
 The company which has been care fully organized, includes Joseph White head as Kid connor; Harry Carter, Milton Dawson, Frederick McGee, Mau- rice Lavigne, Charles Hopkins and the Misses Anna McNabb. Marguerite Fry, Sadie Kirby. Edmace de Dreux and chorus of fifty, including the six little Dutch Riddles. There will also be an augmented orchestra.

In addition as a rule they are not musical shows. | There is no real music. the orchestra l sounds much the same whether the l offerings have one name or another it's ragtime from start to finish. In few instances there Is one number of real music. Result, small audiences and disgusted manager and com pany.
 But there are some offerings of real merit that go past unnoticsd. Excel lent entertainments that have employed the best in stagecraft in every detail Here Is music. good voices, magnificent costumipg, bright lines that bring smiles and bubbles of laughter. But the public is wary. There is not large audience. From a financial point of view the offering Is a failure. The financial agent Is disgusted, the ac- tive manager cancels the remainder of the booking, and back to New York goes the company the best way it can
 Now 1t has been suggested that the recent railroad legislation has q great deal to do with the lack of attractions. The thought is good one. Formerly theatrical companies could travel in party rates. rate of something like one cent a mile was obtained for com- panies numberin fifty or sixty people on the program. Advance managers in many cases were transported free by the roads in order to get the business of a large musical attraction. Small
 companies travelled at a much reduced | rate.
 This is not the case under the pres ent laws It costs 8 great deal of l money for a large musical company to | travel Say a company of orty-five people, the average musical comedy program, leaves New York for Mont gomery. The cost of transportation l for such a number at the present time
 under the three cents a mile rate would amount to something like $6,000 by

 Ies rather a hard matter to say who is to blame for the present status of things theatrical in Montgomery. the South. and the country generally out side of New York and the big cities. Managers say that the past election had a great deal to do with the small business played to in most Southern and eastern cities, audiences are not to be questioned on their likes or dis likes. Ills Majesty. the American public.r can do no wrong. but 1t can stay at home.
 But to talk about the peculiar apathy of Montgomery audiences. There comes a good comedy with bright lines. good actors excellent scenery. It may or may not have been a great hit in New York. but why do audiences outside of New York bow to the opinion of that city whose palate is so faded with many good things that little less than 6 sensation can produce a gem uine smile?
 Comedy. real comedy, is billed at The Grand. A small and not too ap- preciative audience greets the rise of the curtain, and at the moment of its descent rises. and more than half the time spells the final effect. And the next time that manager undertakes a Southern tour, he expects small au- diences, gives good play into the hands of a cheaper company, and Mont gomery complains that good compA- nies are not sent on the circuit.
 Perhaps the fact that musical com- edy has held the boards for so long a time that Montgomery has become rather bored. The average musical comedy may appropriately have upon It's program a paragraph: Anyone

ssrIse Great Divide.

MG WESHt DtNtues
 'The Great Dividess the most strik- ing dramatic success the American stage has seen for a quarter of a cen- tury will be played at The Grand on Wednesday night. This news will be received with delight by our playgo- CTS, for no drama of recent years has commanded so much attention as The Great Divide" For nearly two entire seasons 1t attracted crowded houses to the Princess and Daly's theatres, and Academy of Music, New York. having been presented in the Metrop- olts more than 500 times. The road tour is under the direction of Henry Miller, whose name Is inseparably linked with the success of the play. The cast was selected by the famous actor-manager with great care, and the production which will be seen here is an exact duplicate of the New York original. "The Great Divide" has been pronounced by many critics to be the Hong awaited Great American play No other drama has so we'll reflected the manhood, the freedom. the hon- esty and the indomitable spirit charac- teristic of the people of our great country. With the first two acts laid in Arizona and the third in Massachu- setts. there Is offered in contrast two of the most vigorous and progressive sections of the land. The story Of the play represents Sohu'Ie the free untrammelled spirit of the West and the traditions and conven- tionalities of the East 1t tells the romance of an Eastern woman and a Western man. whose wooing was strange and whose life together was dramatic. Written by Wm. Vaughn Moody, the foremost of Americas younger poets, "rhe Great Divide" possesses literary qualities rare in plays of today that are satisfactory from an acting standpoint. The story is told fin uncttous. picturesque prose illuminated by a glowing and virile imagination. That "The Great Divide" is to be seen here soon after it's New York triumph is a matter upon which local patrons of the drama are to be congratulated.
