ADJUSTMENTS

Before small crowd last evening.
Frank A. S. Hood. the noted hunter.
gave an interesting talk concerning
Africa, having many stereop-
ticon views which were prob
ably the best ever seen in
this city He spoke very en-
tertainingly and those present were
undoubtedly we'll pleased His stories
We're very thrilling and many had to
do with some of the escapes which
he has had. The entertainment de.
served a larger audience.

crate. The first act elbows the circle

The scenic equipment of ..The Sun

the largest studio in New York City
and while scenery of many spots of
the big Town have been used sea-
son after season. it is the first time
that the above places have been used
for stage settings.

pictures, new electrical effects will

"UncIe Toni Again.
AL w. Martins mammoth double
production of Uncle Toms Cabin
will appear at the Grand on next
Monday evening.
The rendition of Uncle Tor by this
well known and we'll liked company
will never grow old. This manage

through this grand story pathos pc

speaks the universal language of the
heart. 1t reflects like mirror the
innermost phases of the human emo
tions. 1t Is more than a play--it is
moral classic. 1t argues for two
of the greatest themes that can engage
the mind-human liberty and the i'm
mortality of the soul. Notwithstand-
ing the frequent production of this
play, it is never produced in the
sumptuous manner hy other compan
les as it is in Martins. 1t is like
meeting an old friend after a years
absence. In his theatric offering,
Manager Kibble has brought together
all the requisites that go to make up
a really great production and one it
will be real loss t. miss.
Frohman's "The Thief"
"The Thief" which Charles Froh-
man brings with a special cast to the
Grand next Tuesday evening is from
the pen of Henry Bernstein, one of
the most ingenious and successful
of contemporaneous playwrights. Mr.
Bernstein is widely known for other
plays similar in construction, in in
genuity and composition to "The
Thief" but it is probable that for
many a year to come he will be
known in this country, as he still Is
in France. as the author Of "The
Thief 1.-THE Thief is in three
acts It observes all the unities Of
time, place and incident. The action
takes place within twenty-four hours
First produced at the Renaissance
Theatre in Paris. in December. 1907,
1.-THE Thief made an immediate
sensation. 1t ran through the entire
season with M. Guitry and Nine. lie
Bargy in the chief roles. After the
foibles, the ambition, the cunning,
the love as deep as human passion
and as wide as human frailty of a
woman, "The Thief is woman's
play But side by side with the great
lesson it contains for every wife, it
contains rich food for thought for ev-
cry husband. 1t is the most startling
human dramatic document put on the
stage in years. No play put on in
the last twenty-five years has created
the stir and received such general
appreciation as this great French
play, "The Thief" now coming here.
There is more Catarrh In this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable For
great many years doctors pronounced
1t a local disease and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls

Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only
