I hi ill 1 1 I II Mi I il ', nl ft i MIS3 Edna Archer Crawford, who Is playing Shirley RoBimort la "The Lion and the Mouse" Com pany, vu formerly leading woman with the Baker Stock Company. She la an actress who possesses unusual busi ness ability for a woman. The trait Is one that has been foremost In her ancestors for many generations and should prove most valuable to the young; woman In the pursuit of her well-chosen career. Miss Crawford, has. for soma tlma, owned a fruit farm near Klsslmmee, in the lake regions of central Florida, and has studied the requirements ne cessary to succesful fruit raising. The venture was originally a means of rest and recreation, as aiiss Crawford Is a great lover of all things of nature, but after she had become acquainted with the possibilities, her business In stinct brought out the commercial value that was In the enterprise. The Flori da farm has more than paid the di vidend that was at first expected and has been made to turn a most comfort able surplus Into the treasury. While touring California recently, ' Miss Crawford transacted a deal that ' has been one of her pronounced de sires for no short time. Her knowl edge of the business and acquaintance among the large fruitgrowers greatly aided her in consummating the pur chase of the Strathmont fruit farm. The farm is one of the beat in Its lo cality and is situated near Colton, in the foothills of the Monte Diablo Range, which are west of the Sierras. This is known to be one of the most fert!l spots in the state for the pro pagation of prize fruits and the owner of the new project Is the object of envy of some of the older growers of California. iliss Crawford has brought the fore man of the Eastern enterprise- to her new acquisition and will continue-to run It along- the conservative lines of il.ii! j r --- . jriaa E4aa Archer Crawford. her older success. By grafting a tan gerine to a California grapefruit, a pal atable loose-skinned grapefruit Is pro pagated. But the California climate is expected to produce better results than those already gained by this process in Florida. Grapes and flKS will also be propagated at the Strathmont and the actress looks forward to a fair dividend at the close of the first year. Her ob servation has been most accurate in the past and her friends are trying to pro cure a few shares of the Strathmont stock, but. so far. none has been discov ered on the market.

"BKOXZB STCD1RS" AT GRAND Another Fine Vaudeville Bill Will Open Tomorrow Afternoon. It is the general opinion that the best programme the Grand has had for tveeks is the One which closes tonight. Jood as the present bill has been, the new programme, which starts tomor row afternoon, promises to be even better. For the headline act Sullivan & Considine are sending a novelty which has never been seen In this sec tion of the country before. The feature will be Professor Paterson's bronze studies of art. The most famous groups and statues will be shown on the stage in bronze. They are really living pic tures, in a coating of bronze. No act has created more favorable comment mi the circuit than the bronze art studies. Sherman and reforest.' known as clever originators and acrobats, will appear' in their latest conception of fun. "A Jay Circus." The act opens showing the outside of a circus tent. then the scene shifts to the Interior. Two farmers leave the seats and enter the arena and proceed to go through all manner of funny gymnastic tricks and stunts. "Early Days East and West" Is a historical sketch and transformation playlet In which Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Young are appearing this season. The first scene represents a Western cabin and the arrival of the Arkafasas Trav eler, with his historic fiddle. The cur tain closes on this scene to rise im mediately, exposing the Interior of a New England farm-house. There are a number of. musical specialties Intro duced during the act. John Field. Jr.. late star of ' the "Yankee Doodle Boys" company, is a comedian of note. He is said to tell only new tales and he has a choice collection. The Adler trio are club Jugglers. They Introduce the only boy in the world Juggling five clubs at one time. Fred Bauer will sing an Illustrated ballad and the Grandlscope will flash new pictures. This afternoon and night will be the last opportunities to see the present bill at the Grand. Mile. Joyce Gray does the seven veils dance from Salome and Harry Luken presents his seven trained bears.
