 Patrons of the Grand are we'll ac- quainted with the ability of MT. Ward and little need be said of his work, which is up to it's first class standard Harry Coleman is the runner-up for honors with the star. Stella Wood is again the leader for the females, and Stella still retains the "pep" of past seasons. Other girls neriting appre- citation for their efforts are Elsie Bos- tel, Esther Delauer and Evelyn Bur- nett. Hunter, Chick and Hunter, a singing trio, are compelled to work overtime due to the hand" given their singing numbers.
 As would be expected the costum es are bright, new and neat, and the scenery is adequate. Several changes have been made by rne theater own CTS this season, the ushers this season being girls. At the outset, the sea- son of 1917-1S has every indication of esta blishing new records.
