VAUDEVILLE GRAND
FEATURE TONIGHT

-Four clever acts of vaudeville, in
which twelve people take part, will
be features at the Grand theatre to-
day and tomorrow. The Seven Pests
are the headliners of the bill, which
Is the best program played by the
Allardt circuit. G.. S. Harding, man
aser of the Grand, was enabled to Sc
cure these acts from the Western
Vaudeville association by reason OF
the fact they have two days before
opening the Ackerman Harris tour to
the Pacific coast and return.
There is nothing more pleasing
than memories of school days, re-
called by this act. The capers and
pranks the students play is feature
round of laughter. There Is Isadore
and Percy, and Mark Twains favorite
character, Huckleberry Finn. The
comedy Is intersperced with musical
numbers.
Allen and Moore, The Happy
Couple are different. They are just
out of musical comedy, and fresh
from the east, they offer song and
dance review far superior to the Or
dinary.
Fred Elliott, the rube comedian,
appears on the program, and Broom
stick" as he is called, never fails to
provide an audience with plenty of
fun. His entertainment includes,
singing, dancing, "wise-cracking'
and he holds a big surprise in re-
serve.
Martin and Courtney, another
couple out OF vaudeville offer natst-
| cal comedy that is splendid.
