 .McFadden'a F1ats."
 When Messrs. Barton and Wiswell. the new theatrical firm. branched out into the amusement neld they determ- ined to make their debut as suspicious and conspicuous as possible. As starter they decided to give the most successful and hilarious of nll farce comedies, "McFadden's Flats" the best production that this well-known piece has known. In the first place they had the comedy rewritten. intro- duced new songs. new features. up-to- date and sensational vaudeville spe- cialties, novelties, etc. with the result that the entertainment Is one of the real hits of the season.
 When the comedy comes to The Grand Theatre, Thursday night, local theatre-g -goers will have a good oppor- tunity to judge for themselves how ex- cellent show 1t really Is. There IS not 6 poor perfrmer in the entire company of fifty people who have been engaged on their merits alone. Then there is a beauty chorus of twenty of as pretty and stunningly gowned young women ever gathered in any single organization. The humor Is cleancut and infectious. and without the least suggestion of horse play or vulgarity.
 Everything that is shown is done in a manner to appeal to the most blase and fastidious amusement seeker |. Jingling music prevails and the scenic adornment is triumph of the artists brush.
 Opening of the Majestic.
 A clever sketch, '"The Wildhower," with a supporting bill of excellence, opens the second season of the Majes- tic Theatre at Monday matinee at o'clock. This season the popular vau- deville house will give its patrons the entiYe Majestic Circuit billing, which means from five to seven high class turns every week, a show of two hours duration.
 That the season may start under the most suspicious circumstances a sketch which has had the endorsement of. ev- cry theatre on the circuit both North and South, has been secured. It is something original, being pretty story of a love scene between an army officer and an Indian maid, who nurses him back to life through a dangerous wound There is much sentiment to the sketch, and the end Is happy.
 Mile. Carrie, known as queen of the bells, a renowned fflstrumentalist who has toured Europe on several occasions with great success, will be another ex cellent. attraction. Mile. Carrie plays on every bell known to the musical world, and Is truly remarkable.
 Harry Holman and Helen Parmelee follow in their comedy sketch. MT. Fush." They are said to be entertain CTS of merit. Next on the program is Earl Flynn, a minstrel boy in The Boy of Green" Flynn was late fea- ture with the Al 6. Fields Minstrel Company.
 Miss Alto Yola. the California con- tralto, is given a musical novelty which affords her an opportunity of showing the audience how quick changes of costumes may be made while in full view of the spectators.
 E Eddie Leslie. who is proclaimed a mimic and character entertainer of high standing, will close the vaude- -ville bill. Leslie has been a great fa- vorite in the East because of his quaint sayings and inimitable fun. He is said. to be as funny as a man falling down stairs with a bucket of water in each hand.
 The Majestic moving pictures. always good and interesting. will close the per- formance.
