CONTINUAL SHOW.
The Attraction At the Grand Next
Week,

Week.
Commencing next Sunday at noon
the spring and summer continuous
show departure at the Grand Opera
House will be inaugurated. 1t is
marvellous what a hold the moving
picture as a form of entertainment
has upon the theatre going public and
it is curious to note how many lead
ing theatres throughout the country
are being given over to this style OF
amusement Many Of these houses
have adopted the moving picture plan
| permanently, while others, like the
Grand Opera House in this city, have
| taken it on for the summer term only.
That the. public may not be mislead
or gain a mistaken idea in this con-
nection, the management Of the Grand
announce positively that commencing
in the fall the playing of popular
priced combinations will be resumed
and stronger list of booking than
ever before will be provided Indica-
i tive of the drawing power of the mo-
ttion pictures is mentioned the fact
that in New York and other large
cities of the east many of the leading
| theatres are now meeting with big
success with exhibitions of this order
| NOTABLY the Harlem Opera House,
New York, formerly devoted to high
class Klaw & Erlanger attractions,
Keith's Union Square Theatre, New
| York, where B. F. Keith first started
the continuous performance, Proctor's
23rd st. theatre, New York, for years
the most popular vaudeville house in
that city, the Fourteenth ST.. theatre,
theatre, New York, the one time big
production house in Indianapolis, sew
eral of the leading theatres in Phil
! adelphia, as we'll as many other the
aires of prominence in the large cities
throughout the country. The con-
tinuous show departure should ap-
peal strongly to local theatre goers.
through it's novelty, as it is absolute
ly new to the Twin Cities. Start
: ing at twelve noon and. continuing to
eleven at night there will be some
thing doing all the time. Three
! thousand feet of moving picture film
will be shown and a distinct innova-
ton will be offered in the changing
of the progress of pictures daily. 1t
is planned to show the latest and best
! films, both of American and Euro
pean make and it is designed to
provide pictures that will be specially
pleasing to the ladies and children.
1t has been noted of moving picture
| exhibitions that they are great for
drop in patrons, that is people who
! having an hour or. so to spare, find
the time well spent in witnessing a
program of pictures. The business
men will find here rest and recrea-,
tom during the luncheon time and
with change of pictures each day,
many are sure to become daily patrons
of the Grand. A theatre like the
Grand with it's superb ventilating ia
cilities comfortable seats and commo-
! dious auditorium, offers superior ad-
Yantages* for the presentation of pic
T, lures over the average Of this kind
and many who have avoided attend
ing the picture houses, but who en-
joy this style of performance, will
/ surely become habitues Of the Grand
during the summer. The Grand's
summer departure will not depend
upon pictures" alone for entertain
ment, but there will be illustrated
songs, which will be changed often
and which will include the newest,
catchiest and best song features OBJ
i tainable. There will be also offered
three acts of vaudeville which will be
] supplied by the VIM. Morris Qnc.)
agency. The prominence of Mr.. Nor
iris in the vaudeville booking field is
a guarantee that this part of the pro-
gram will be well taken care of. For
!, the opening week three acts of un-
usual merit are promised in Mile
Mabel and her celebrated trained ami
mails, is said to be of much merit
and will appeal strongly to the ladies'
and children. This act comes direct
from Keith's Hippodrome, Cleveland.
and will be the first appearance OF
E. the act in the West. Another vaude-
vile number will be Frederick the
!; Magician, said to be a master per-
former in the field of magic. There
will also be an interesting sister act
Elsie and Viola, who are billed as
"The GIRLS from the Land of the Buff
falo." The summers admission price
has been made so low as to astnoish
Z! the most skeptica1. Ten cents is the
price. no higher. All seats alike. It
lis safe to assume that the Grand will
be pretty place this summer.
