The Theatres
THE GRAND.

The First Born never grows shop
worn. 1t was presented last night by
the popular stock company at the
Grand, and it's comedy seemed more
lustrous han ordinary, and it kept the
audience in one continuous roar of.
laughter. Charlie Hart and Pat Car
son, Pat as the brother of Joe STAN
ton nj Charlie al Joe's partner Bud
die, furnished most of the laughs and
were ably assisted by Miss Gertrude
Gilbert, a new addition to the company
who played the part of Mrs. Brandt.
Ward Cassidy handled the leading
part, Joe Stanton, in his usual good
style, while Miss Won Volner played
the part of his wife who had married
him for his money and afterwards
learned to love him, while Miss Carson
played her mother who had schemedl
to marry her daughter to a rich hus-
band and she played the cart SO well
she made the audience fairly hate her
for trying to keep her daughter from
loving Joe, Miss Gillian had a part that
fit her like a glove. Mr.. Golden and Mr..
Carleton played the parts for which
they were cast with their usual atten-
ton to all the little details for which
they are noted. Take it all the way
through, the company is very well cast
and the play is one that no one should
miss.

NO GLUE TO ROBBERY
Police Are Mystified Over Robbery in
Office Of Or. Scion crum-Gold
Removed From Safe.

The police seem baffled over the
robbery which occurred in the Office OF
DR.. Solon Crum in the Edwards build
ing. About $3.50 worth Of gold was re-
moved from the safe of the dentist,
nothing else being touched in the
office.
When the office assistant came to
work yesterday morning she found the
door unlocked and the safe door open.
Apparently it was the work of some
one familiar with the combination OF
the safe for everything was intact.
The culprit evidently was also
familiar with the arrangement of the
office for nothing was found disturbed.
The police are looking for some clue
which so far has not been found.

Tennis COURTS
Open TO PUBLIC
CITY PARK BOARD MAKES
POPULAR MOVE IN OPENING
TENNIS COURTS IN PARK TO
GENERAL PUBLIC FOR FEE -
MAY ADD TO OAK GROVE PARK.

The city park board of commission
ers made a popular move yesterday
afternoon when, in it's session at the
city hall, it was decided to throw
open the use of the tennis courts in
Island park to the entire public for a
nominal fee instead of merely donat-.
ing the use of the courts to the Tennis
club.
By this move the park board pro-
vides opportunity for everyone to have
access to the tennis courts for a small
sum instead of merely those who be-
long to the other organization where
membership dues are charged in adj
dition.
Privilege for using the tennis courts
in Island park will be IS for both and
50 for the use of the west court. This
fee is to be paid to w. J. Clapp, secre-
tary of the board, who will issue per-
mits.
1t was decided to purchase thirty
two lots of the Matte B. Morton estate
to be added to Oak Grove park. This
will give much more space to the
handsome park on the north side Of
the city.
Several applications for concessions
in Island park were rejected, as the
board voted against all concessions in
the parks in the future.
