1.-The Goose Girl" At
The Grand Last Night

A fair-sized audience were at
the Grand last night to hear and
see the rendition of 'The Goose
Girl" a drama full Of interest
and exciting situations.
Many thought the first act was
a little dry and uninteresting, but
this perhaps was necessary. as it
led up to what was to follow.
Be as it may, the audience was
we'll pleased with the entertain
ment, as many of them had read
the book from which the play
was dramatized.
The various characters in the
drama performed their parts ad
mirably, showing them to be ac-
complished actors and actresses.
They are players way above the
average theatrical companies on
the road.
Managers Kicker & Miller are
leaving no stone unturned to give
the theatre-goers of this city and
vicinity the very best entertain
ments to be had, and judging by
the large audiences at the Grand,
their efforts are appreciated.
The next attraction booked is
