AT THE GRAND

Mabel Mckinley, star vaudeville

Tetrazinni of the vaudeville
stage, will head the new bill
which opens at the Grand theater
Monday afternoon. AS the man

Kinley is probably the most noted
and her act the most pretentious

Her act at the Grand will consist
of singing to, her own accompani-
ment several of her own and 9TH
|erer ballads.
Maurice B. Cooke and Miss
Rothert are offered as the special
added feature on the new bill.
Cooke is said to be very good
eccentric acrobat, while Miss
Rothert is claimed to be not only
"a beautiful and well-gowned
woman, but dancer and comedi-
enne Of rare ability. The team
concludes with the sensational
Partisan novelty, the dance OF
'L'Amour de PApache."
Francesca Redding, the well
known character actress, will-ap-
pear in a new sketch by VIII M
Greasy, Her Friend from Texas.
Four people are included in the
sketch.
Harry Robzart, novelty charac-
ter artist, and Emmett and Low

THEY'RE BOTH GUILTY.

TROY, o., May 29.-"Speak-
easies" have got the best of de-
tectives in Troy. When man
buys a drink, under a new system
just put into operation, he pays
25 cents for the drink. He pours
a large drink. Then the bartend-
er says to him, "Sell me 10 cents
worth Of that, please" The drink
er pours some of the liquor back
into the bottle and receives 10
cents in return.
Then the customer is as blame
worthy as the bartender because
he, too, has sold liquor without a
license. 1t is dangerous, after
that, to "squeal."

AT THE TACOMA.
"a MESSAGE FROM
MARS" TONIGHT


"A Message From Mars" which
will be given at the Tacoma the
alter this evening, Is radically
different from the average COM
edy drama of the present day fas-
tidious American stage. Proba-
bly, the greatest differing feature
is the plot-the passion about
which il woven the story of the
play. "Selfishness" is the CEN
trail passion. The play is built on
the abnormal selfishness of one
man, and the plot has been made
as strong and even much stronger
than the everyday love plot Of
most love plays.
The play has received great at
tention wherever it has been pre-
scented. 1t was played at the Gar
rick theater in New York for two
consecutive seasons, after a con-
tinued run at a London theater.
And for three consecutive years
1t has been played continuously
in the various cities of America.
The plays success has, it may be
said, been nearly phenomenal.
A quantity of special scenery Is
used in the play, and number
of clever mechanical effects are
produced. The success of the
play lies in the keen wit Of its
lines, however.
