Show at Grand Tonight.

A strong company and elaborate
stage settings are contributing fac
tors In the successful Interpretation
of John Fox's appealing story Of the
Kentucky hills which will be presented
1t the Grand tonight.
Millions of delighted readers know
June, the primitive, ever charming
mountain girl, the heroine Of the IA
nous novel, 1.-THE Trail of the Lone
some Pine" These same readers
have received with acclaim the an
rouncement of the dramatization of the
novel by famous dramatist, Eugene
Walter. and are thrilled by seeing
June and John Hale in the flesh.
Not one Of the many who have fol.
lowed June from her cabin IN the hills
through all the vicissitudes Of her
fight for love over feudalism, will want
TO miss actually seeing what their i'm
aginations have pictured.
THE Trail Of the Lonesome Pine"
has proven one of the great successes
Of years. The dramatist has faithfully
tnirrored the delightful scenes of the
book. Long runs and big business
greeted the play in Boston, New York

Louise Price is seen in the role Of
the primitive mountain girl.
Realistic Sand Storm Scenes.
One of the spectacular scenes in the

The sky suddenly darkens. the wind
arises, spirals OF sand are blown hero

and veritable rain Of sand results. A
Caravan is encamped in the desert;
the storm takes them unawares; tents
are blown down and we see men and
women buffeted here and there in the
singing storm. Those who have seen
the production pronounce 1t realistic

In one division the regiments made
a speciality of surprise trench raids and
acquired almost unbelievable skill in
carrying them out almost without loss

course Of the last month. had to its
credit ten such raids. as a result Of
which, besides killing many enemies,
they captured fifty-three German pris-
oners without loss Of a single French.
man.
French and German lines are so close
that a raid rarely takes more than ten
minutes-just the time to race across
the open. make the haul of prisoners
and race back with them again. Night

Edgar was much confused, but by the
next day his repartee was sufficiently
restored to explain that he spoke that
way because the pony did not under
