FOUR ACT VAUDEVILLE BILL
AT GRAND FRIDAY ONLY

A variety OF entertainment is in
store for the vaudeville patrons who
attend the weekly vaudeville show
Friday only at the" Grand theater.
To begin with, Dono and Remington
open the bill with a unique Offering
that Is decidedly different. Mr.. Bono
has appeared in all the larger cities
and abroad and has always pleased
his audiences. for he is one of the
forem ost accordiGnists OF the day.
and has way all his own Of han
lding this strange instrument. Miss
Remington has high soprano voice,
and her song numbers are an added
attraction to the act.
Bert Herbert and Pauline Celeste,
in "The actress and the stage man
ager,,' a delightful little farce in
which the actress coming ITO, small
town to play, finds the stage manager
more clever than he seems to be.
Some clever dancing Is introduced.
Marie. Gilmore Is another Of those
delightful v''single acts" that have
proven so satisfactory in former pro-
grams. Songs and stories are her
specialties. -
+ Emmett and ca. are billed Us 1.-THE
Scientific Humorist," the nature of
their act Offering remains a secret
even to the manager of the theater.
However, information at hand states
that there are five people in the act,
so something unusual may be looked
forward to.
The program will be offered at the
matinee at $3.50 and once only in the
evening at 1880 o'clock.

When buying or building home,
the average man and wife are inter-
ested in two things--price and jap-
pearance. They know how many
rooms they need-if small family a.
small house will serve, and vice versa
Aud; as the tendency has seemed r.
drift toward the smaller family. the
smaller house is more popular. When
the bungalow first made its APPEAR
ance OH the western coast it was con-
sidered more or less Of a freak. But
the utility Of this small attractive
dwelling soon became apparent and
the bungalow swept, the; country by
storm. 1t solved the big problem
charm ut Il reasonable cost.
Today It is rs popular in, the Middle
West as it is out on the coast. and hum
dreds are being built every year. The
housewife who cannot afford servants,
and the housewife who cannot get
them do. not want to assume the
drudgery involved In the upkeep of n
large house. They turn to the small,
compact, coy bungalow rs a solution.
And It fills the bill admirably.
1t would be hard to find a more ut.
tractive and appealing bungalow home
