At the Grand opera house tonight
Charles B. Hanford will appear in a
Lord by George II. Broadhurst and
Charles 7. Darcy, two representative
American playwrights. The departure
of Mr.. Hanfofd from the classics for a
season can not fail to interest. for he
has stood almost alone for several
/ years as a representative actor of the
| Shakespearean drama. 1t is but nat
ural that mis- ambitions should lead
him into the field of the modern
drama, thereby putting his versatility
to the test, and that he has succeeded
| can be amply attested to by the ex-
| ceedingly favorable comment his pro-
duction of rhe play has earned.
1.-The American LORD is divided into
! four acts. the opening scene being laid
in Breus+er's hotel in Elkhorn, North
Dakota. Bluff John Breuster is typical
of the great west. He is honest,
STRAIGHTFORWARD and candid and de-
the play opens, there is a convention
in town to nominte a candidate for
congress. A nomination in Elkhorn is
equivalent TO an election "Before-the--
Draw Pete and Texas" two of
Breuster's friends, mean to stampede
the convention for him.
In the meantime an English lawyer
arrives and notifies Breuster that he is
the lineal descendant of Lord Breus-
ter. The affair is a joke to BreuSter,
but the lawyer who has been in the
United States for several weeks for the
purpose of finding the heir to the
title and estates, cOnvinces Breuster,
for he Acknowledges that his people
came from England and settled in Vir-
ginia and then scattered. On being
told that he will not be hampered in
the management of his estates, he
promises to go to England and it may
be imagined in his breezy way he man
ages to stir up things.
He becomes embroiled in an old
family feud and finds his little girl
madly in love with young man who
in time is to have title to his name,
and then there is his son making eyes
and losing sleep over a pretty English
girl. To cap the climax Breuster him
self becomes enamored with an attrac-
tive widow. The settling of the vari-
Gus love affairs furnishes many anus
ing complications while Mr.. Hanford
as John Breuster succeeds in furnish
ing his many admirers an opportunity
of witnessing his success in a modern
up-to-date comedy. Miss Marie Drof-
nah has in the role of Mrs. West
brooke, the widow, in the play, oppor-
tunities which can not fail to crafty
the many playgoers who have followed
her successful approximations in the
classics.

excellence throughout

to stir the wells of laughter and tears
but to remind us that they lie close to
the heart and their waters may be kept

at one of Mr.. Murphy's delightful ev-
enings of comedy; a man can bring
his wife, parents can send their chill
