With the sensational Hornung-
Presbrey drama, "Raf1es, the Amateur
Cracksman,' that will be the attrac-
ton at the Grand Saturday matinee
and night will be seen the young ac-
tor, S. Miller Kent, who was selected
by Manager Joseph NJ. Gates to play
the great part of Raff1es. He has been
associated with the best actors and
managers of the country. He was the
leading juvenile in the famous cast
organized by Charles Frohman for the
Bronson Howard play "Aristocracy,"
and of which the greas manager was
so proud that he used on his billing
the line, 1.-The cast that will live in
history" Mr.. Frohman's boast was
prophetic, for almost every member of
that company has since become star,
with his or her name firmly embedded
in the history of the American stage.
Among these are: Blanche Walsh,
Viola Allen, W. H. Thompson, Wilton
Lackaye, William Faversham, Bruce
McRae, Paul Arthur, J. w. Pigett, the
celebrated English actor, whose
brother is the play censor of London,
and Mr.. Kent himself.

There will doubtless be gathering
of the Clans at the Grand next Mon
day when the young Irish singing
comedian, Allen Doone, will appear in
his new and successful comedy drama,

of this may be found in the fact that
Mr.. Doone made such a pronounced hit

made famous by Joseph Murphy, that
much is expected of him in his new ven

which have preceded the young star, it
may be inferred that his admirers Will

to note that the forty drllars- an

Recent events tend to show that
this interesting stage in the South's
development has been reached, and
while it is true that the increased
land values manifest themselves
rot uniformly, but it is indeed
gratifying that so many sales are

That hundreds of people of the

Mr.. James receives 10 or IL such

gency OF money has not greatly af-
fected this section, it has sent many
seekers for jobs here, and that,
therefore. it is not simple matter
to get work at the present time He
adds, however. that a man really de-

ranch at living wages.
