The citizen felt sorry for the littl chap, and would have liked to have taken the little fellow into the show with him, but he thonght that he would not be doing what was right, so instead of buying the boy the ne cessary ticket to pass him into the show, he persu him that it wae better for him to go home and get his father or mother to take him to the show.

"The Chorus Lady," James Forbes, author of "The Travelling Salesman," seen here last season, was the offering at the Grand Saturday, matinee and night. In this play an entire act is given over to gossip be- hind the scenes, in which the female members of the play take part; the male members do not figure in this, as they do not gossip. The story centres around the life of a young girl who had a craze for the stage, reached the stage, and. was taken care of by an older sister. Edith Wall played the role of "The Chorus Lady" and was good. She has a part which is brim- ml of slang, and the way she got it offi was indeed wonderful. The sup- porting company was good. -- To-night Fiske O'Hara. The latest success of Fiske 0'- Hara, "Love's Young Dream," is booked to appear at the Grand to night.
