"It was about 2.30 o'clock. The noise was so loud that it awakened me from my sleep, I got up and locked out the window. I could not see anything but from the noise I am sure that it was an aeroplane," A number of citizens telephoned Whig to say that they were un- the impréssion that an aeroplane passed over the city.

Heading the photoplay portion of the bill is Blanche Sweet in "The Ragamuffin." The story is a thrilling one and con- tains a theme somewhat similar to "Leah Kleschna," showing how a young girl is converted from an early life of crime. "Discontent" a two part drama, a one reel laugh produc- er "A Political Mess", The Topical Budget and thé Pathe News-complete the screen end of the bill, Heading the vaudeville is one of the finest water acts on the vaudeville stage. Ethel Dawn June performs feats which one would think were impos- sible, giving under water tests also sewing, eating, writing and hearing under water, Johnny Bell ina danc- ing specialty is also very good delin- eation of a Chinese character. The Grand has installed a new ple- ture sheet, the last word in such things, being manufactured of the la- test materials and found to be the best through numerous experiments. Hal Johnson in "Miss Modiste." Hal Johnson, a far-famed actor has written a worth-provoking farce in "Miss Modiste" full of brisk ac- ticn and tuneful music, which makes it 'a veritable scream from start to finish. This is not a "one man" ®ishow and consequently Mr. Johnson has surrounded himself with such + | talented people as Lillian Forrest, Eva Swinburne, etc. Inasmuch as there have been many imitators of Mr. Johnson, who were no doubt en- couraged by his phenomenal success in the ®Arrival of Kitty," we wish to state emphatically that Hal John- son (himself) wil] positively appear at the Grand on Wednesday, April 5th, matinee and night when the above aftraction plays here, Secure your seats early as Mr. Johnson's past record is a future guarantee. At the Strand. The feature photo-play, "The Mar- tyrs of the Alamo," the five-act Trian- gle masterpiece, merited the crowded house which saw the screening of this historical spectacle with an all-star Griffith cast at The Strand last even- ing. The comédy was a two-part Triangle Keystone offering, ing that well-known Broadway star, Hale Hamilton, supported by a good- ly array of Keystone stars, which kept the audience in a happy mood for a good thirty minutes. Tyronne Power also pleased in-a strong three- reel drama, while Mr. and Mrs. Syd- ney Drew, the well known vitagraph comedians, rounded out with a sin- gle reel comedy, one of the strongest programmes ever presented in the! city. The same bill will be repeated | again to-night and at the Wednesday | shows, Favorite Fare.
