Nothing "Preachy" About "PoIIyanna"
The "Pollyanna" company will ap-
pear at the Grand Tuesday night to
add to the joys of everyday living.
The glad play is the well chosen
Offering of the Grand and the COM
pany interpreting the CHEEKY text and
characters Of "Pollyanna," is person
ally one of very high order. The
philosophy which this glad play
spreads has caught the imagination
of people, and sparks in every heart
a feeling Of comfort that is not soon
forgotten. There is nothing "pearchy'
about "Pollyanna," either. 1t is a
joyful message sent upon It's errand
by good fun, clean sentiment and old
lavender romance. 1t provides an
evenings diversion at the theatre,
where all the lovable characters of
the famous books pass in review as
living beings, and sends one home
with a smile and sense of satisfac-
ton that is bound to linger pleasant
Fly in memory long after the play
house is darkened. In fact, it is one
of the unusual and enduring things
of the theatre-a popular success
with a sound corner stone of worth
iwhileness.
Klaw & Erlanger and George c..
Tyler evidently sensed what the
people long for in entertainment
when they brought out "Pollyanna"
in the spoken form of the stage,
giving the vitality of flesh and blood
to the imaginative characters of the
book Eleanor II. Porter had done
the world a good service by this
creation of fancy, and the play author
has followed step in this service, and
the producers are in the reckoning Of
good deeds by their faith and sensi-
tive regard for fitting detail Of pre-
sentation.

are Interested In

Architect Joseph l.. Brady is the
motorist who turned the tables on
the repair man and sued the latter
for his automobile and 500 damages

to the coming of spring, fine weather
and good roads. Griffin repaired 1t
all right, and ON test before CHER

| made To run when the starter button
is pushed.
Claims Bill Is Exorbitant.
! Brady claimed the work done was
not ordered to that extent, that the
| bill is exorbitant, and implies that
