THE GRAND.

4 Cines two-reel feature, entitled "The Queen of Spades" featuring Miss Lucille Hesperus, will be shown at the Grand tonight. Jack Norris squanders all he and his wife possess and leaves her upon her own resources to support herself and little daughter. She unwilltngly takes charge of a fashionable gambling house. One day she receives letter from her daugh- ter, Dorothy, stating she has passed her final examinations and is ready to come home from college. Mrs. Norris pleads with her employers to relin- quish her from her contract, but they refuse. Dorothy is brought home to live in her mothers apartments, but IS kept in ignorance of her mothers position. The true character of the establishment is discovered by Doro- thy when she hears a dispute among several guests. She begins to weep, and when her mother comes to console her she tells her mother that she now understands why her fiance, the son of a high official, has determined to break off their engagement because of her mothers ambiguous position. Doro- thy and her mother go to the young man and he promises to withdraw his objections if Mrs. Norris agrees to go away forever.
 "The Pride of Innocence" Pathe play, will also be shown at the Grand tonight
