Before a Very Large Audience--The Vaudeville Programme for Friday And Saturday. : At the Grand on Thursday night, a very large audience witnessed the production of "Milestones." This | play is certainly a masterpiece of the dramatic art with its droll com- | edy, pleasing love scenes and path- etic parts. The acts were staged re- spectively in the years 1860, 1885 and 1913. The production showed the dress and mannerisms of each generation and the strength of true ilove in the making of marriages when pitted against family tions and wishes. In every case the proposals of marriages were object- ed to by the parents on the gropnd {that the would-be son-in-law, al- | though clever was not of the aris- | tocracy. In some cases, the daugh- | ter bowed to the wishes of her par- | ents and in other cases defiled them. The concluding scene was pathetic, | and excellently portrayed; the grand- | father at last reconciling himself to the inevitable, and his pretty grand- | daughter is, engaged with' his con- | sent to the man she loves. The caste, wholly English, was a very strong one, and the play was | greatly enjoyed. Vaudeville Entertainment. At the vaudeville entertainment tradi- | ROCKWOOD ASYLUM PATRONAGE!
