Fanny Rice.

Miss Fanny Rice. the American CO., incidence, will be seen at The Grand Tuesday night.
 There Is not perhaps in all the world an actor or actress who has had more valuable training and experience or more exalted stage association than Fanny Rice. the American comedienne, who is affectionately referred to as Jolly" Fanny Rice. She has been a oo-worker with some of the greatest stars the stage has ever known. When the late Joseph Jefferson revived the comedy, "The Rivals" Miss Rice was one of the first of the artists he se- cured in his all star cast. Others as- sociated in this revival were W. J. Florence William H. Crane, Nat c. Goodwin, Fredrick Paulding, Mrs. John Drew, Julia Marlowe and Viola Allen
 Miss Rice was one of those who by their talent and work gave enduring lustre to the name of the New York Casino She, with Luliian Russell, David wartield. Marie Dressler, Fran eis Wilson, Lula Glaser and many other stars of today made the Casino na- tionalily famous playhouse, and event. ually Miss Rice became the star of the Casino and her success IS still one of the proudest traditions In the hls- tory of that theatre.
 Now Miss Hlce is 10 be seen here in a musical play entitled. At the French Ball. that was written espe- ciaIily for her. She is said to have g part most congenially fitted to her magnetic personality. Miss Rice has surrounded herself with a lot of clever people. and in the third act, which calls for scene at the French ball a number of vaudeville specialttes, will be introduced, chief among them will be the exploiting of the funny little people called Rice's Minis Stage Char acters, who dance and sing and crack many clever jokes at the expense of the present candidate for the coming Presidential honors. A beautiful cos tune number by the talented soprano, aEugiene Soule," whose glorious voice has been heard in many of the grand operas of London. the Bicknalls, the whiriwind dancers, an act that held the people of Australia spell bound in all their principal cities, is also one of the many specialties. Pretty wo- men and the latest rages in dresses and costumes are shown in profusion-

Owing to the absence of any copy right agreement between Hungary and this country. Mir. Fiske is unable to protect his rights against unauth orized versions from the German of the play, but he is fully protected against any serious competition by the popular ver- dict on MT. Arliss's art and the uni- versally conceded superiority of the play itself. Mir. Ar1iss's Devil" is a character that yill live among the notable creations of the American stage.
 By permission of Harrison Grey Fislke the c. W. Dillingham; Company will shortly publish an authorized ''novelization'' of the Ronta and Larned version of Molnar's play, 'srhe Devil" which is now being presented to packed houses at the Belasco Theatre by Mir. Fiske's new star. George Ariiss. The work will be illustrated with photographs from the various scenes in this representation. A paper cover edition of the same work. by arrange ment with the Dillingham; company, will be published simultaneously by based upon orders, will be one hun dred and fifty thousand copies.
 George Arliss in Mir. Fiske's produc- tion of The pevil' at the Belasco Theatre. New York. has broken all re- cords of summer business for a play in thnt city. Musical plays have some times euuaied these receipts. but they stand alone for a dramatic produc- tion. Every seat in the theatre has been sold out every performance since the opening. and all the standing room has been occupied that the fire regu- lations will permit, and great numbers of people have been turned away nightly

Murphy has produced new play. He is not satisfied always with the best that he can get, he will not produce a new comedy unless he fs certain 1t IS worthy of the time, energy and expen- allure demanded, and sure of some permanency on his repertoire. Rather than produce q mediocre play for the sake of It's novelty he wisely reyerts to his repertoire of former successes and revives one of them. So 1t Is es- tablished that when Tim Murphy pre- sents a new play it Is good one. like all his other comedies in only one respect Cupid and the Dollar IS thoroughly modern and thoroughly American. The story treats in a Ngnt, bright and amusing manner, no. without its dramatic undertow. with International marriages and with the fact intimate to so many, of American narents' custom of educating their children and neglecting themselves. The types that grow out of this tact are most amusing but the situation IS dramatic enough to be thrilling. MT. Murphy's character Is an American quite new to the stage. He has been composing the role for nearly year and it is spoken of as the finest as well as the funniest specimen Of hu- man nature this gentle, kind and low ahle artist has created The company Id headed by Miss Dorothy Sherrod, comedienne whose charms and talents have endeared her to a large follow : ing. Cupid and the Dollar mas proyed so successful that Is the only new play that MT. Murphy will present this year.
