At the Grand

The management of the Grand
should be congratulated on the classy
acts it is staging this week Opening
Thursday packed houses have been
the issue. The bill consists of the fol-
lowing:
Miss Marie Myers opens with four
violin solos that are very cleverly rem
dered. Miss Myers being an adept
on the violin.
Brown & Williams, the boys with
the crazy feet, follow in a knock
about dancing number. This act is
away from all other dancing acts as
the boys use roller skates and do &C.
centric dancing and are both very
clever. Bob Miller follows in a black
face monologue, keeps the house in
an uproar of laughter and is easily
the comedy hit of the bill.
Joe Noel, the clever female imper'
senator is certainly the feature act
doing four complete lightning chang
es of different characters, also doinl
clever dance while jumping rope
This bill should draw packed houses
for the remainder of the week. Com
plete change of program Monday a
matinee.

sition or pass rapidly on TO government
