An Especially Good Show To.
Night.

Manager Porter OF the Paris Grand,
promises an especially good program
at his popular place of amusement to-
night. As sort of sample of what he
is going to have every night next
week during the Bourbon Fair he has
secured for tonight and Saturday two
do Ible acts which are headliners in
the big cities.
Merry Brothers, banjoists. is Eu-
ropean act which has been in this
country only few weeks. They have
had the rare distinction of appearing
by special order before King Edward.
Their act is one of the best of it's kind
before the public, and have been
working during the past two months
on the Keith and Proctor Circuit hous-
es, where the price of admission rang
es from 20 cents TO one dollar.
Another splendid act is the Ster-
lings, in one of the neatest and most
refined acts ever seen here. The cos
tuning of the act is said to be espec-
tally elaborate. This is also one Of
the big time acts.
In the moving picture line Manager
Porter promises something exception
ely good, though it would seem hard
| for him to improve over what he has
had in that line recently.
On Saturday night MIR. Porter will
give away very handsome S35 AK
minister rug. He is exhibiting it every
night at the grand, and it is a prize
well worth st living for.
Beginning Monday night and continu-
ing throughout the week of the Bour-
bon Fair, Mr.. Porter is going to excel
all his best efforts. He promises an
entertainment each night equal to if
not ecxelling anything seen in Cincin-
natl. In addition he is going to give
away each night prize to some luck Y
person in both the gallery and the low
er floor. In spite of all this expense
the trade mark still holds goUd: ''And
all for ten cents"
