OPENS MONDAY
Opening Of New Theater is
Announced - Old Grand
Entirely Redecorated.

Manager Mccarthy of the New
Orpheum. one of the many high class
theaters under the control Of Nc
Carthy brothers, throughout North
and South Dakota, has announced the
opening of their new Grand Forks
house. which was formerly the Grand,
on Monday. March "a.
The new house will be something of
a surprise to the people who have
been waiting for the opening. 1t has
been entirely changed, renovated and
re-decorated and is now n of the
neatest and best arranged theaters in
the northwest.
The color scheme is of grey blue and
gold; the walls and ceiling being of
grey and gold with hanging draperies
and curtains of blue. The huge in
direct lighting globes of the walls and
ceiling are of grey and gold and the
new seats throughout the eutire the
alter are of grey with blue leather up
holstering.
The stage lighting system has all
been changed for the most modern
of devices and an entire new set of
beautiful scenery has been installed
of the finest in this section Of the
country.
The new seating arrangement is
far superior to that Of the old Grand
where there were but six center seats
in the front row with nine crowded
ones on either side. Now there are
fifteen seats in the center rows with
nine on the sides. The seating ar
rangement is the most modern pos
sible.
The opening attractions for Monday
include four Of the best vaudeville
acts and pictures consisting Of the
latest Pathe News Service and Pathe
Comedy. Grand Forks is so situated
as to be able to have as good vaude-
vile and picture attractions as Fargo
and Winnipeg and from now on
Grand Forks will have them for the
acts come here direct from Winnipeg
and go from here to Fargo.

announcement DIR. w. c. James, the

to dispense with these services during

able to accommodate relatively
small part of the crowd that would
like to hear the great evangelist.
Therefore II was deemed best to re-
sumo the prayer services, the church
people feeling that by absenting them
selves from the Sunday meeting We'd
nesday evenings they will possibly at
ford non -churchgoers seats which they
might have occupied.
