. vaudeville.
The Grassys. two gentlemen and one
lady, have been engaged exclusively
lor this circuit to present what they
term an "llluslonary musical .novelty
that has been much talked of abroad.
Miss Mabel Maitland. whose delight
ful monolorua of quaint and original
Southern stories, styled "Way Down
South 'Fore de War." is the possessor
of that quality called "personality"
and her appearance should prove a
somewhat important society event.
Miss Edna Phillips, a favorite dra
matic actress, who is as famous In the
East for her charming and attractive
personality as for her histrionic gifts,
comes with an absolute farce, and with
a fine company of comedians In a lit
tle laugh-maker by Una Clayton with
the significant and tell-tale title, "Lost,
a Kiss in Central Park."
The four Nightons. Olympian gym
nasts, from the Berlin Wintergarden.
bring an act that has attracted a great
deal of attention in Europe. It is an
exhibition of Herculean strength and
remarkable gymnastic feats artisti
cally staged- The statuesque postures
with which they open their act remind
one of a niche In a sculptor's studio,
so effective and well molded are their
figures, but the most amazing portion
of the offering is the series of mighty
feats produced by the muscular quar

types of tramps portrayed by as many

is carefully inspected by a committee of
citizens, ana then filled with real water,
he sinks under water, more being poured
In until the can is running over, the cover
is then placed on the can and secured
with six padlocks, a small cabinet is
placed over the can. and in less than a
minute . Hardeen frees himself and re
appears with the handcuffs open, but the
padlocks still secure on the cover of the
can; he then gets into the can again to
show that there is still the same quan
tity of water In It: he Invites anyone to
bring their own padlocks to place on the
can. He precedes his mystifying feat
with aome remarkable stunts In releasing
himself from straightjackets, handcuffs.
Tomorrow at noon Hardeen will Jump
from the Bumside street bridge Into the
river: he will have his hands securely
manacled by a committee and will release
himself under water; police officers will
keep the crowds from the bridge and
those who wish to see this daring leap
will be able to do so from the wharves on
either side of the river.
Hardeen Is supported by an aggrega
tion of clever vaudeville artists. Tlis
week's programme will be brimming over
with comedy.
The Swickards have got a comedy sing
ing scream. The male member of this
firm has got a burlesque on the dlrectoire
gown that is positively a knockout.

ans. Dialogue and situations are funny
in the extreme while the musical num
bers Introduced have all scored un
usual hits. No one will want to miss
Sam Dody's rendition of "My Brother
Svlvest." or William C Gordon's fa
mous pirate song. "I Laugh in. My Glee,
Ho. Ho!" The seven hobos are con
sidered one of the real novelties of
the season and are certain to prove
nnmilar wherever they appear.
Carter and Bluford. in calling their
character singing and dancing of
ferings "The Act Beautiful." have hit
upon a terse description of what they
present. These two natives of Cuba
represent the sensuous elements of
beauty, grace and natural charms of
the tropical countries in a series of
character songs with appropriate and
picturesque scenic settings for each.
The bill closes with the Orpheum
motion pictures, which are always the
latest In motion photography and the
Orpheum orchestra, which is the best
that can be procured.
ELECTRIC MAX AT THE GRAXD

Programme, Opening Tomorrow.
Enlgmarelle. the electric man, will be
exhibited at the Grand this week as the
main feature. Enlgmarelle Is exactly

most illustrators, will Introduce Mutll
composite. the only apparatus of the kind
in the world. Fred G. Bauer will assist
In this act by singing "Good-bye. My
Soldier Boy." "Iong Ago" and "Is It
Far to Heaven ?" This is a colored blo
sraph novelty, perfectly reproducing
falling snow, rippling water and many
ether effects beyond the power of other
apparatus.
The three Xewsomes are gymnasts and
all their tricks are new and novel. They
are experts and will afford amusement
and a few thrills. "The Musical Bar
bers" is the act of the Maginlaml fam
ily. Never was there such a barber shop
as this. An establishment fully equipped
Is shown, every article of a tonsorial
psrlor being used. The barbers play
on all the furnishings of the place, from
Tsors and strops to the chairs- and the
barber pole. The selections are bits
from "Trovatore." "A'da." "Faust" and
other grand operas. The act is enlivened
bv pantomime.
Rosa Roma, a violin virtuoso of re

West will be the offering at the Star
Theater week beginning Sunday mati
nee. October 23, under the title of "The

lav Warneld's big success in San Fran
cisco is that his old mother was present
at the opening performancee. and it was
the nrst time. It is said, that she had ever
seen her talented sonon the stage.
Ethel Barrymore Is much upset because
