Many who have seen the work Of Miss
Grisella Kingsland and Emil Kruschlxe
in THE Girl from Paris at the Grand
opera house, have expressed surprise
that these two capable players have

during the last few weeks. She has
decided attractions of voice, figure and

the present performance. She appears
as the racy Julie Bon Bon. Mr..
