GRAND BILL is GOOD.


The Grand presents another bill of an
even merit all through this week, and one
in which humor predominates Not an act
is presented which hasn't a good many
laughs IN IT, except the strong man duo
which closes the performance.
Miss Ray Cox. advertised as a headline
feature, is given a race for the place by
Bernard, protean artist who is differ
ent, and these two are pushed hard by
Charlie Case, monologist who kept last
nights audience ranging between
chuckle and a roar Of laughter the whole
time of his act
The bill opens with couple of juggling
Japs They are the Zanettos, who were
among the first 10 introduce the apple and
the fork. This feature was presented
again last night, and was made funnier
with the aid OF man in the second tier
box. He was tossed the apple, and in a
frantic effort to catch it he lost his hat
into the parquet. In his anxiety to re-
cover It he held to the apple. AS the
audience was busy watching his efforts
to recover his headgear the fact that the
act of the Japs had come to a standstill
was forgotten-until the male member of
the team at last aroused his amateur as
sistant to his possession of a part of the
properties" CHe recovered his hat)
Cooms and Aldwell then sang some
songs well and Hal Norcross and company
presented a quite amusing little playlet,
and then came Charlie Case. Case will
have to be seen to be appreciated. He is
one of those innocent comedians, He re-
cites Incidents In which he and his FAM
lily figure as the come ons," and each
new burst of laughter seems TO hurt his
feelings And his Cardoza Recommended
ton is great
Bernardo follows with a playlet in which
he makes thirty five changes of costume
and character in two playets and few
approximations of famous musicians. In
his second playlet he exposes his meth
cd. and this proves as interesting as it is
entertaining.
| Miss Ray Cox, Coincidence comes next,
| in a couple of comic songs done in char
acter, and her famous airship act. This
latter proves her intrepid as well as
unique. A small size airship, worked by
ropes in the flies, is her main property"
and the thrilling finale comes when she
is yanked skyward, fully dressed, and re-
turned a bit later somewhat disarrayed
and tattered as to clothes.
The Arco Brothers, strong arm gym
nasts. close the bill with a good act well
presented and handsomely dressed.
It's a real good bill this week.
