the play to be presented at the opera
house tonight is commendatory and

kind that has recently visited this city
but an up-to-the-minute musical come
dy and vaudeville show. Be sure and
go to the Grand tonight.
The Lady Buccaneers are billed
to appear at the Grand this evening.
This is conceded to be the very best
of the larger shows and promises an
entertainment that will be both lively
and interesting. Like all attractions
of this order, lavish display of hand
somely costuned girls, witty come
dams and catchy music, are its prin
opal factors. combined with several
new and startling sensations, to add to
the variety. JOS. X Watson, the prin-
cipal comedian, is supported by the
beautiful Helen Van Buren,, John c..

s,ark, will be presented at the
Grand opera house, Monday, January
o, and local book lovers and theatre.
goers will have an opportunity of see
ing and judging for themselves the
dramatized version by Geo. d. Baker
of George Barr McCutcheon's famous
story. The authors readers are le-
gion and they rally to the support Of
the play as unit. The opportunity
for dramatic effect in "Graustark" is {
unparalleled in the history of stage
productions where successful novels
were the source of supplying the plot
James W. Castle, who staged the
original production, was quick to see
the possibilities of this startling story
and arranged for the theatrical rights,
with the result that today, this TO-
mantle drama Is the most talked
of play in the realm Of theatredom.
The plot and characters are taken
bodily from the novel, and one who
has read the book can see his favor
ties exactly as described by the au-
thor in his charming story. AS the 4
greater part of this interesting adven-
ture takes place in country where
picturesque dress Is in vogue and
quaint architecture rules, it gives an
opportunity for display of scenic
spIendor and gorgeous costumes. This
has been taken advantage of by the
management to the extent that a sixty
foot carload Of effects are utalzed In
the presentation of this play
At Dodges.
At Dodge's tomorrow night will bel
shown an Edison picture of the New
York Police Force. This picture isl
a little different from anything ever
shown in the theatre and will no doubt
attract wide attention
The film stars with small section
showing how the traffic in New York
City is handled on an ordinary day at
the junction of Broadway. Twenty
third street and Fifth avenue. With
the arteries of travel running In sever
al different directions, this is prob
ably the most difficult spot in New
York City to successfully handle. and
