Next week's attraction at the Grand Opera House for two nights, Thursday and Friday, Feb, 20th and 21st, will be William A. Brady's pro- duction of "The Man Who Came Back," the virile melo-drama by Jules Eckert Goodman based on the widely read story of John Fleming Wilson. Everyone admires and loves the man, who having gone wrong, fights his way back to a position of honor. In this drama the regenera- tion of this boy is brought about by a cabaret singer, who proves that a wo- man will go to any lengths to save the man she loves. "The Man Who Came Back" is emphatically the big- gest dramatic success of the decades, having enjoyed long and prosperous runs in New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. The cast includes James Dyrenforth, Katherine Cor- nell, James Seeley, Jane Carleton, Richard Clark, Esther Howard, Pe- ter Lang, Sophie Allen, Thomas Magram and Frank Howson (Continued on Page 8.)

Many complaints have been received of similar action being taken by other landlords. The scarcity of houses has made it possible for them to adopt an autocratic attitude. It is to have this condition of things reme- died that the Whig is interesting it- self in the housing situation, and is trying to awaken public sentiment in the matter. Apart altogether from the fact that this soldier has fought in Fance, and is therefore entitled to a little consideration from the land- lords, the whole policy of such pro- perty owners calls for condemnation, publicity, Sentiment In Business. It is a very unusual thing for a newspaper to comment on an an- nouncement to be found in advertis- ing columns, but in this issue to-day there is a very unusual advertise- ment--unusual becduse the adver- tiser uses most of his space to do a good turn for the "other fellow." The advertiser--The T. H. Esta- brooks Company, the proprietors of Red Rose Tea--have used a large space to pay a tribute to the grocery trade. This indicates .a generous, broad-minded spirit and shows that there is a great deal more sentiment in business than one would gener- ally think. It shows that advertis- ing is progressing and thdt it can be and deserves to be given the fullest] GENUINE REDUC- TIONS IN FURS AT CAMPBELL BROS. Removal Sale Big discounts on .
