NAzIM0vA TONIGHT.


Madame Nazimova. the famous and
distinguished Russian actress. is to-
tally different from any other woman
on the stage at the present time. Her
9enius is compelling and she realizes
what a world Of expression she has
IN mere gesture. There is something
about her that is almost undefinable.
Nazimova cannot be compared to any
other actress. Her genius, or her art.
Or her wonderful ability or whatever
Il may be called. aided to her unique
and unusual personality, is the mag
netfc spark that attracts her followers.
But there are two Nazimovas, one that
IL seen behind the footlights, who is the
great actress, the perfect mistress of
her art and its technique; the other,
The woman herself. who is one of the
most delightfully."- charming feminine
creatures 1t Is possible to imagine. Last
season. Nazimova achieved triumph
IN the Pagan adaptation of Robert
Kitchens Bella Donna and she is
continuing the play this year. Bella
Donna" as presented on the stage is
said to be the embodiment of wicked
ness. it is story of poison and pas
sion. but in the hands OF this gifted
actress the play is said to become posi-
lively fascinating, and NazimOva is
seen at her best. Charles Frohman will
present Nazimova, supported by her
original New York company of play
ers and complete artistic production, at
the Grand tonight.

AT THE TAEATERS.

This city is due for what promises
to be the stellar theatrical event in
its history: meaning that at the Grand
on tomorrow afternoon and evening,
Miss Eva Tanguay will appear at the
head Of her own company Of vaude-
vile stars, on her second annual tour
Of the country. The engagement is
expected to be an suspicious one from
the point Of interest and attendance.
Miss Tanguay is today the most
wonderful woman in vaudeville and in
fact, in many ways the most remark
able woman Of the modern stage. AS
an evidence Of this it might be stated
that recently she completed contracts
not alone breaking the attendance
record Of higher class New York
vaudeville theaters by many hun
dreds of dollars, but hanging up at
tendance records at every theater that
cannot be surpassed for the very good
away at each performance by order
formances in the larger cities over a
hundred people were accommodated
with seats on the stage.
The approaching engagement of
that bright musical comedy 1.-THE
Newlyweds and Their Baby which
occurs on Wednesday afternoon and
evening at the Grand has already
aroused considerable interest among
our local theatergoers.
That the public is quick to recog-
nize merit and stamp the same with
the seal of its approval has been en-
phasized by the enormous success
which has been the lot OF this charm
