ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Man of the Hour"

Custom cannot stale George Broad
bursts powerful drama, The Man of
the Hour which is now in its fourth
year of success and which comes to
the Grand on Thursday of next week
and it bids fair to go on until the
copyright expires. A long stage
career is the more assured for it be-
cause the interest does not depend up
on the rendering of any particular part
by star actor. Throughout the beaut,-
full story run the scarlet threads Of
laughter, the gray threads of pathos
and the white threads of good deeds.
and from these yiriagated strands Mr..
Broadhurst has woven a tapestry of
humor, love and kindness that touch
the eye and heart alike, and the figures
stand out with startling fidelity to
life. Managers William A Brady
and Joseph r. Grismer's special com
pany will appear at this engagement
In its roster are such well known

"The Red MILL"

The score of The Red Mill" is by
Victor Herbert, who has long been ac-
cepted as the foremost American COM
poser. He has written nineteen light
operas, among them The Prima Don
ma, Mile. Modistn, Babes in Toyland,
1t Happened in Nordland, The Tattoo
ed Man, The Serenade, The Fortune
Teller, Babette, The Wizard OF the
Dream City, The Magic knight, The
Singing Girl, Dolly Dollars, ETC., all OF
which have been big successes and
many of which are still being played
both in America and Europe. OF the
twenty odd numbers which Mr.. Her
bert wrote for The Red Mill" nearly
every one has scored an immense hit,
the more successful being Every Day

ABOUT RICHARD earle

by Rennold Wolf, in the New York
Telegraph
Since the opening of the theatrical
season two weeks ago the managers
of three theatres enlisted by Charles
F. Kindt in his self-nurtured open
Sore circuit have sickened at the
sight of the dose prepared for them
and run for the shelter of the estab-
lished, legitimate organization known
as the Syndicate. Reference is made
to the managers of the theatres in
Alton. H.. Moberly, Mo-, and Hannibal,
Mo-, all of whom now look to the
booking offices of Klaw & Erlanger
for their attractions.
In stating his reason for detection,
one of these managers in letter to
the booking agent of the "Open Sore
routes wrote as follows:
I'VE will not book The Blue Mouse
or any more Shubert shows, as we
have decided to cast our lot with Klaw
& Erlanger, with whom, as already
stated early in the season, we have
agreements for representation.
Il do not believe we can satisfy
! both Klaw & Erlanger and the Shu
bert Theatrical Company, and, as
have already stated, the frequent
changes and cancellations of the Shu
berts are too aggravating to bear ant

The Telegraph also contains the
following interesting item:
Glory be to Charles F. Kindt, apos-
tie of the open Sore" Richard earle
will within few days open two new
theatres in territory which hitherto
has been deemed Kindt's very own.
"Mary's Lamb" will be the medium of
attack.
One of these playhouses is the
Grand in Kindt's native city, Daven-
port, Iowa. The opening date is Sep.
TENDER 26. The other theatre is di-
rectly across the Mississippi at Mo

rymore in honor of the numerous
members of the family of that name
who have added luster to the Ameri

Henrietta crosman.

Henrietta Crosman will appear at
the Grand next Friday in her recent
metropolitan triumph, SHAM" a
comedy drama from the pens of Geral-
dine Bonner and Elmer Harris. In
the three acts of this play the authors
have cleverly combined the most de-
lightful comedy, brilliant technique,
smart lines and humorous incidents,
throughout which runs a serious UNI
dercurrent, depicting certain phases
of society which are as deplorabIe as
they are real. In Sham" Miss Cros-
man appears as young society WON

most extravagant notions, who is left
with but a paltry income upon which

to maintain her position. Being re.
sorceful, clever, and with little com
junction, the girl becomes female
Beau Brummel, living by her wits
and employing her fascinating charm
in subtle piracy upon her well-to-do
friends. The role gives her every op,
portunity for the full range of her
, wonderful art. and in this play Miss
Crosman has scored one OF the most
emphatic hits of her brilliant career.
