..Hrer.ter,. Millions,


 The Conan and Harris comedians will present "Brewster's Milions." a dram- atixation in four acts of George Barr McCutcheon's story. by Winchell Smith and Byron ongley. at The Grand Tues. day night.
 Here is play created from recent work of fiction that is diverting In the truest sense of the word. 1t amuses and interests continuously for three hours, and is an agreeable diversion in the bargain. The dramatization fol- lows the book closely. yet not too rig idly, as to interfere with exaggerated incidents and good stage effects. The story is told in this way: Montgom- cry Brewster is left s1 100000 by his grandfather. Shortly after this wind fall an uncle leaves him sf.000 900. with the proviso that he spend all of his first fortune in a year and become pen- niless. Nothing must be loaned or giv- en away. Above all. strict secrecy must be observed. Brewster's friends promptly become panic-stricken at the pace at which the youth starts out, and their endeavors to prevent him from iavishing his fortune upon risky speculation form the many amusing in- cidents of the plot.
 Monty" as Brewster Is called. &C., complishes his object, but not without taking many chances. some on his life. and one in particular. ship wreck which occurs as he escorts a party Of friends around the world. offers pos- sfbilities for some thrilling stage ef- fects The scene is the yacht during storm at sea is thoroughly realistic and exciting.
 Robert ober will appear in the role of Brewster. He is said to give a. cap itai exhibition of man working hard to spend $20 900 a week. Strange how money makes money! Brewster can't buy stock of any kind and lose. nor play a horse that comes in late. and these facts furnish the incidents for one of the funniest comedies that have been produced in a dcade.
