VAUDEVILLE FACT SHOWING
AT GRAND AGAIN TONIGHT

! Arrangements have been made to
hold the four acts OF vaudeville
which appeared at the Grand theatre
last night, and they will appear as
a special attraction in addition to
the super-feature picture that has
been arranged as the program FOR
Saturday and Sunday, tonight only.
Judging from the applause last
night, each and every act pleased the
large audience. Morris Prince Duo
has q variety Of surprises and a line
OF talk that went over we'll. Wester-
man and Hopkins, have a neat sketch
and thew singing duets were we'll
done. Bill Fruits songs and stories
were distinct hit. The audience
called him back for an encore but
"Bill" couldn't see it that way. Elec-
tro and company are as pretentious
an act as has ever appeared in Be-
midji and his wonderful stunts with
electricity are the talk Of the town
today.
