CESS and Himmelein are presenting
the Yankee Doodle stock Company,
The capacity of the theater Is being
tested at each performance and the
general verdict is that this Is one 81
the best repertoire companies than
has been seen here, and that Is say
ing good deal for It must be re-
membered that the very best roper
toire shows travelling have visited
clarksburg: The plays presented are
all new ones and they are Of quail
ity that appeals to patrons OF roper
toire. The company is large and
capable one.
MT. Raymond Payne is the leading
man OF the troupe and he is clever
young comedian. He looks a little
bit like Raymond Hitchcock, and
talks a little like George cohdn. but
we win do him justice to say that he
isn't trying to initiate either of
them, although if was mere irnita-
tor and not as he Is, very good act
or. he picked out two good men 10
follow.
We hate to say 1t, but Mr.. Payne
is turning out to be matinee idol. If
Johnnie Adair ever heard the way the
girls applauded when Raymond
comes on the stage. he would go
back to Grafton and climb hills until
he walked one-sided.
Miss Grace King ably supports Mr..
Raymond, and the other members OF
the company give good accounts OF
themselves.
The vaudeville is the best ever
seen here without a doubt and 1t is
the topic of conversation on every
hand by those that have witnessed a
performance of the Yankee Doodle
Stock Company.
On Friday night now feature will
be introduced, to take the place OF
amateur night. The management
have secured the Graft Hopkins en-
tire vaudeville company to appear.
They will give complete perform
ance. the same as they presented 1t
in Lumberport last week. The per-
Torrance consists of singing. dancing
and foot racing.
If you are fond of a good love
story-the kind in which true-heart-
ed, clean spirited young people play
the principal roles-if you enjoy a
battle royal between two mighty
forces-the indominitable will of
man and the clever wits of bright
woman-go to see. 1.-THE Lion and the
Mouse" which Henry B. Harris will
again present at the. Grand tonight.
If you wish few suggestions con-
corning the terrible part that wealth
and its amasses play in the political,
economical and social life of our
country you will find them easily OBJ
tainable. And II you care for only
good play so admirably played that
it will give you an evening Of thor
ough enjoyment you Will not be dis
appointed.
In "The Lion and the Mouse"
Charles Klein, the author, has con-
structed a play of exceptional
strength and unusual interest. lie
has taken subject which cannot but
keenly appeal to every American citi-
zen-the acquiring of wealth and its
accumulation in the hands of few
men. This Mr.. Klein uses as a
background for a love story which
wins and holds the onlooker's sym
patty and he has driven home with
out any preaching or moraltzing the
fact of the menace that lies in the
misuse of capital and the fearful eff
fects it has upon those who misuse
1t and those who oppose its misuse,

faithful service on the bench has
