1.-The Thoroughbred" acquires it's IT,
tie not from Keenans characterize
ton, but from a horse about which
the plot Of the story revoives. 1t
tells the tale of fine old southern
gentleman and his daughter, whom
miss Minta, the thoroughbred" has
helped to maintain in dignified COM
fort by her earnings on the track. 1t
concerns, too, the efforts of young
minister who is instrumental in
causing the adjustment of racing in
the state, and thereby ruins his

damage they Lave done.
keenan, is seen in the role of Ma
jor Ainslee, and a more sympathetic
Interpretation has never been seen on
the screen. He is depicted now as
the gentle. forgfving war-veteran,
then as the hot-tempered warrior
fighting for his own and his daugh-
|ter's existence. His acting at times,
it is declared, is intense to the burst
ing point.
Tomorrow the favorite Mae Marsh
and Robert Harron come to the
Grand in their new Triangle play,
1.-The Little LIAR" in which the little
star makes fun and drama as de-
lightful young fibber. On the same

There are plenty of seats left for
"Katinka," the merry, tuneful must
cal comedy which the Grand brings
to Keokuk Friday night, as special
holiday attraction. They are selling
rapidly, however, and big audience
will be present to support Manager
Dodges policy of giving Keokuk only
the best.
"Katinka" gives forth music of
most unusual charm and swing, the
company carrying their own complete
orchestra to properly interpret the
pretty songs and choruses with which
the piece is filled. Only an additional
violinist is asked Of the management
of the grand for the orchestra, ''Ka-
tinka" supplying the remainder of an
eight-piece organization.
"Katinka" possesses beautiful set
tings for three acts, large company
who can dance and sing, and a
chorus of girls who are really pretty.
"Rickety Coo" Il Want to Marry
Male Quartette," and numerous
other song nits swing through the
rapid action OF the piece and leave
you whistling or humming after the
final curtain Manager Dodge will
give special attention to out Of town

ties and others.-Adv.
