With Mar- guerite Clark in the title role the production was 'very attractive. She played a dual charecter, and one could not wish for a better interpre tation of the role. It offered Miss Clark a delightful chance to gain further laurels, A two-reel Univer- sal, "The Inner Soul," contained a { heart throb in every move, while a {one-reel comedy, "A Scandal at Sea," | made one forget the toils of the day. The Topical budget was as interesting 148 ever, as was the Pathe News. On | the 'vaudeville bill, "The Roys," a (colored team, in a song: and dance act pleased immensely. Their | *Barn Yard Rag" was | made a big hit. In dancing their ef- {forts were far above the ordinary. ; Miss Phyllis Devlin has a neat song lact in which she sings "Angus Mac- | donald" and "Soldier Boy."

I" The well-known critic, Henry Aus- tin Clapp, in speaking of Mr. Kel lerd"s Shakespeatéan performances, Said "Mr. Kellerd was interesting at a hundred points, and always pleas- antly free from exaggeration. His conception of the pasfage with Ban- quo's ghost In "Macbeth' was strik- ing. In his playing, the ghost was a mere mirage of hallunciation, and the gradual growth to his mind, as if it were a cloud, slowly taking place before Macbheth's first outburst, was highly original and remarkable idea". Mr. Kellerd and his very ex- cellent company will play an engage- ment of two nights at the Grand g& on Friday Saturday matinee "The Merchant of Venice", Saturday night, "Macbeth."
