INTEREST IN GRAND BILL

Hundreds of theatergoers have been
unable to get seating accommodations al
the Grand this week. The fact that
vaudeville is popular and that theater-
goers are rapidly growing accustomed
appears to mean that, despite the great

will soon be a case of standing room
for the late buyers.
The bill for this week is a good show.
1t is comedy all through, and Atlanta

additional honors with his unique act.
There has never been man on a local
stage that could win an audience as quick

Leslie and company is unusual There

this clever man was introduced than ever
before. Laura Guerite has become a
popular favorite, and the rest of the bill
is all thoroughly pleasing.
The headline feature for next week will
be Henry f. Dixey, the famous enter
tainer, who has always been a 81 star.
In vaudeville he is the highest. salaried
individual in the service, and his mono
drama-vaude-o logue will SHOW that he is
