March IL. for one performance OF
Daddy Long-Legs,' the reign1ng
dramatic triumph in New York this
season. Mr.. Miller accepted the play
from the author Of the book, Miss
Jean Webster, with the understand
/ ing that he would star in it. 1t was
his original plan to create the title
role when he staged the comedy last
spring Almost at the last minute,
however, he found 1t Impossible to de-
fer imperative business engagements,
and make the production with anoth-
Ter In the role written for his use.
! The rest is matter of theatrical
history. Theatregoers do not have
| to be told that Daddy Long-I1egs"
broke all records for long runs at
Powers theatre in Chicago last year,
and that it is now, with the Chicago
+ New York. It has been running to
absolute capacity business at the
Gaiety theatre in New York since the
first week of last September, and
at the same prices charged in Omaha.
Sioux City. Des Moines. st. Louis,

star feature in three parts. AS the
title indicates, this three part Broad
way star feature is most engross-
ing and analytical insight into the
lives Of those who impersonate char
acters- different from their own. 1t is
so intensely dramatic it will not fail
to convince those who view its show
ing tonight at the Grand that hearts
are sometimes breaking beneath the
care-free smiles they dissimulate. A
financier's son is disowned by his
father for refusing to give up his
actress sweetheart. His father then
coerces the girl into apparently re-
nouncing her lover. She warns the
young man by note, but the missive
miscarries and he believes she does
not care for him, with the result that
they are separated. The young fell
low plunges into dissipation and the
father destroys himself. In logical
yet in most unusual manner, the
lovers are brought out of the dark
ness of despair into the sunlight of
love and happiness. Helen Gardner
as the actress adds 1ustre to her
dramatic crown.
Tomorrow will be shown another
of the famous Paramount programs,

Not every girl could play "Sallie" in
Edward Peple's clever snappy farce.
She had to have a slender face, but

part Of the stenographer in "A Pair of
Sixts,'' which comes to the Grand
opera house Monday, March Is, hangs
story of type versus art. Of search
and research that causes Edward
Peple. the author, to heave sigh of
satisfaction whenever he thinks of
the success which crowned his long
search for the exact type of woman
AND actress combined to properly de-
li1eate the character.
The role calls for young, pert viva
cious, athletic, inquisitive, world-wise
girl. i.nbued with the spirit of humor
but withal prone to slang and sarcasm
and quick at repartee. It might be
expected that Mr.. Peple, who retains
Sanford Dodge, flor years the super
