GENNARO AND BAND AT GRAND Snllivan & Consldlne's Road Show No. 5 Coming Week's Offering. Patrons of the Grand may imagine that the bill of the past week la hard to surpass, but the new, show, which starts Monday afternoon, is said to bo Just as good, and perhaps a little bet ter. Anyway, if the new show is half so clever as the one now closing it will be immense. The new bill Is Sul livan & Considine Road Show No. S. The road shows consist of carefully selected specialties and every act on the bill Is a winner. For the headliner comes Gennaro and his Venetian Band. There are 20 so loists in this musical organization, which Is said to be the largest in vaudeville. The presentation of Gen naro and his band in a popular-priced theater is practically without prece dent. The brilliancy of Gennaro's playing and his eccentricities have made him famous. Dressed as gondo liers, in a scene representing a night in Venice, the musicians form a pretty picture, while Gennaro is said io be a show In himself. The programme will embrace light opera selections and the classics. Another feature of the new bill will be Phenomena, a singer with a voice that has five distinct ranges, bass, bar itone, tenor. contralto and soprano. His selections enable Phenomena to display each of the five voices.
