"Isle O' Dreams." | In these days of frothy musical plays and frivolous comedy, it is re- freshing to note the return to popu= larity of romantic plays. The Irish play of the Chauncey Olcott type, with its humor and pathos, its beau- tiful Irish songs, through gall the changes in fashion of plays, has nev- er lost ist interest. 'The Isle o' Dreams," a clean, heart-interest comedy-drama, has a great appeal for young and old. There is just the right mixture of humor and pathos and the beautiful ballads please all music-lovers. To hear Julius Velie, the young actor-singer, render $Mo- ther Machree" is a rare treat in it- self. There are no adventure of crooks, no drinking scenes, no sex problems, no crude melodrama, no chorus girls, but there is in "The Isle 0', Dreams" the cleanest, sweetest story ever told, combined with char- acter acting that is subperbly done by a large English cast, of a stre! gth not usually seen outside of the larg- est cities. If you enjowed "Peg ©' My Heart" you will find great plea~ sure in following the career of the young Irish waif, "Ivor," as unfold- ed in this charming play, coming to the Grand next Saturday, March 16th, bargain matinee and night, as a special St. Patrick's Day attrac- tion, Mitzi In "Pom-Pom" Coming. Mitzi, the prima donna of "Pom- Pom," who plays the role of a rogu- ish boy pickpocket part of the time in the opera, had the time of her life getting her clothes for the part. A boy's suit, which must be ragged and worn, was the most important article on the list, It was made by a man's tailor, carefully fitted, press- od and creased, and he beamed with h9¢ Per Dozen pride when he brought it himself to her dressing room during a rehears- ~ Crawford's Grocery, "Good Things to Eat" Phone 26 ---------- 'al, then proceeded to wait until the little lady should emerge as a trim young dandy ,of fashion. His eyes bulged with alarm when Mitzi yank- ed the clothes from the box and, with her hairless Chihuahua blood- hound (about the size of a full grown rat) 'yapping and prancing. around, the fun began, From one end of the stage to the other, she pulled. and dragged the new suit over thé rough boards and through the dirt, with TS ==| The tailor could not believe THREE HUNDRED PAIR MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SAMPLE SHOES, WORTH $5.00, $6.00, $7.00, TOCLEAR the pup hanging on, snapping off the edges and biting holes in the cloth, his . senses.

The patrons of the Grand (his winter have had the privilege of see- ing the finest lot of musical comed- jes that have ever been produced here. [Everyone has been of very marked merit. Last night Anna Held's musical comedy "Follow Me" in three acts was presented before a capacity house. This production is probably the most gorgeous musical play staged to-day, and its Paris set- tings give it that unusual intevest that attaches to plays with French color. Heading an exceedingly strong company is Liane Held, daughter of Anna Held, who shows herself as a splendid understudy of her famous mother. She fills the role of an actress in a very charming manner. Miss Held is a clever com- edienne indeed. The costumes she wears are most gorgeous. Lewis Seymour, Leon Francol and Harry Bulger--the latter with Kingston family connections--are three fine comedians. Marie Fanchonetti, Harry Seyniour and Ida Fitzhugh also take leading roles. The Afina Held girls and the younger dancing girls are all stunners. The latter are the cleverest and the daintiest seen at the Grand this season. The music of "Follow Me" is delightfully tuneful, and the whole production is of the kind that one would wish to see again.
