AT THE GRAND.

~ n S1fANbs
THE Roundup" Klaw and Erlan-
gers big production, will be the at
traction at the Grand next Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. 1t will thrill
be very strange indeed if it does not
prove just the sensation that it has
in New York. There will be horses
enough on the stage to run regular
wild west show, and the realism
which they will add to the battle with
the Indians in the third act will prove
the talk of the town. There will be
an auxiliary organization of over $50
people, including soldiers, scouts,
"cowpunchers," Mexican vaqueros,
Arizona girls, Apache Indians and 20
horses. The sense of witnessing
stage mimicry seems entirely lost In
the auditor of "The Roundup" This
is the secret of the really marvellous
success of the play.
The tri-citIes will enjoy something

COLLINS AND THE
DEMON MATCH UP
Wrestling Bout for Lightweight
Championship to Be Staged
Here Jan. 25.
500 SIDE BET POSTED
Mill Between Chicagoan and Rock
Island Greek Should Be Good
Locals to Go On.

Challenges having been accepted on
both sides by George Nicholson, the
Greek demon wrestler of Rock Island,
and Nick Collins, claimant of the
title of welter lightweight wrestler of
the state of Illinois. it has been def
nitely decided to stage the match be-
tween the pair at the illinois theatre
Jan. 20. The match is to be the prin-
cipal feature of wrestling program
The man who wins two out Of three
falls wins the match, the side bet OF
500 that has been posted and 60 per
cent of the net gate receipts. Both
men have agreed to make the light
weight class of las pounds or under,
weighing in at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing of the match. Collins has already
posted his money guaranteeing the
match and making the proper weight.
Nicholson will do so within a very
short time.
OTHER MATCHES.
Harry Brondell, the Davenport
wrestler, who has issued challenge
to the winner of the match, will be
one of the attractions in the prelim-
mary matches. Whether he will
wrestle someone of his caliber or go
into a handicap has not yet been ar
ranged. William Gabel. another local
wrestler, may be booked for a go with
some other local man. The program
to be arranged will be good one all
the way through and the Rock Island
wrestling fans will have an oppor-
tunity to see a good program.

AT THE ILLINOIS.

When Dave Lewis comes to the I'LL
nois tonight in Campbell B. Casads
song farce, Don't Lie to Your Wife,"
the theatregoers will see the comedian
who was responsible for the success
OF the humor in the Isle of Spice"
and also "The Royal Chef" In both
of these plays Mr.. Lewis was exceed
ingly funny, but his admirers who
saw him in Mr.. Casad's play during
its four months run at the Whitney
opera house in Chicago last season
claim this comedian never had a play
better suited for him than Don't Lie
to Your Wife, This fact may give
Mr.. Lewis friends in this city an in
side tip as to how funny he must be
in this new play. Rowland and Cliff
| ford, the firm which made the SEN
sational production of THE Rosary
! last season, are caring for Mr.. Lewis
interests this season, and surrounding
him with a cast of excellence and
with a stage mounting that is beauti-
full to every degree, the offering prom
Uses much. The author, who is New
| York Herald reporter, drew all the In
cidents of the play from the everyday
! life of a newspaper man in the met
| ropolitan city, and the modern day
theme allows Mr.. Lewis to work al
high pitch. In Mr.. Lewis support are
Miriam Shelby, Edna Roland, Gladys
Wilcox, Nell Love, Estelle Vernon
Virginia Stewart, Lenore Frey, Sam
Rose, Holworth Stark, Harry Ellis
Benton Garvin, Mart Franklin and Ed
