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 ---

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.

em, he thinks they're not proper but
her'n looks cute. Eight girls comevln
dancin' an' carrying these four great
big hat boxes one yard each -way
and set 'em down an' then lean on their
poles an" stand In a row across the
stage while Miss Seymour takes out
one hat after another an" puts 'em on
an sings "It's the Hat That Makes the
Woman." The first two yerses go like
this:
Kow ever since our Mother Eve
Took a leaf from fashion's plate
She got us In trouble.
And now It Is double.
The cause I will try to relate.
Three hats In a season.
tvere thought within reason.
But now it Is nothing- like that,
Ftr birds of a feather.
Go flocking together.
And put their bills Into a hat.
FEENCH HAT.
Now here is a chic little hat I bought
To wear with a French y gown;
Somehow to me.
It suggest La Pares. i
And a houpla time In town.
Comprenes vous
Go on, you do
Madame. Monsieur you know -
Cer fait tou Jours pleas, la, la.
Parse Is the place to go.
Then the girls all Join in and dance
while they sing the chorus:
It'a the hat that makes the woman.
Attracts the eyes of man.
He may say, stunning, honey
He may say. how much money?
But If It is becoming
It will set him In a whirl.
And you'll win him.
If under the brim
He finds an allrlght girl.
She wears a real French hat green
satin with a turned-up side and a
great pile of green and black feathers
floating off at the side. Gee, its cer
tainly the right dope. Then she puts
on a regular High School girl's hat
Just a big brown flat with a brocaded
scarf wound around the brim and tas
sels hangln' down an' say, Mame, me
an" my gentleman fren' nearly died
laffln at the way she did when she sung
the second verse like this tum-to-tum.
la-la:
The college girl has a style distinct,
A hat Is an awful bore, ,
She's swagger without it.
And craxy about it.
When Mater does beg and Implore,
Do put on a hat.
Don't go 'round like that.
Tour hair IS a perfect wreck;
And something like this.
You will see on the miss.
Which she pins to the back of her neck.
Next she put on a chorus girl's hat
it's a black velvet mushroom, with two
great cerise Jumbo roses and a black
French beauty veil tied all around.
Bhe looks swell with it smashed down
tight on her forehead with her two big
sassy eyes peepin' out. She acts it all
out, an' sings la-la tum-te-tum-tum:
Now the chorus girl In a New Tork show
Has the fashions beat a mile.
She saves her money.
And Isn't It funny.
How she keeps ahead of the style?
Why. Ritchie and Russell
Must get on a hustle.
When she walks down B'way.
She goes out to dine
"He's a cousin of mine.
And money to burn," she will say.
But the swellest thing Is her direc
tory gown, of white satin say, Mame,
it was great pink roses on an import
ed band chasing each other up the
panel of the skirt, and the hat well.
It was a yard wide and had 24 big
white plumes on it. Gee, It was swell.
An' this is what she sung tum-tlddy-um-tum:
The directolre gown has been revived.
And caused lots of comment and talk.
