Something About the New Farce.


Something About the New Farce,
"Stop Thief"
A farce is q dramatic work reinforc-
ed with absurdities in the matter OF
snappy lines and unexpected situa-
tons, constructed for the sole purpose
of exciting laughter and in presenting
stop Thief another of Conan 4
Harris successes, they offer a play
that possesses all of these attributes.
The new play will be presented at the
Grand opera house, Thursday evening,
December is.
stop Thief" is from the pen OF
Carlyle Moore, and the story ne tells
has to do with two people who, mag
lining themselves kleptomaniacs, are
continually obsessed with the fear or
being found out Neither Of them Is
aware Of the others irresistible in
clination to steal, to check which de-
tective is engaged to watch over them.

mediately accepted by the two KEEP
tomaniacs as the detective who is to
guard their actions. Under these ia
yorable circumstances, the thief pro-
ceeds to loot the place without fear
of arrest.
It is around this rather unique idea
that the author has woven his play
the plot of which bristles with fun
punctuated with many thrills that are
materially enhanced by the unusual
spectacle Of light fingered gentle
man exercising his nefarious calling
while two members Of the home that
is being dismantled imagine that
they themselves are the culprits.-Ad

Seats are selling fast for this at

held until after the performance. A
patron of the Grand who saw the show

entire family. He wants his childre-
