it did last rear one of the very best
dramas that has been put on the local
stage this season. The picturesque In
dian characters of'Pamnena and Little
Fox,, when-they are bent on their love
making, have a suggestion of the Fen
nlmore Coooer romance. "Hiawatha."
LJttie Fox, ihe. young Indian, is a speci
men of manhood worth seeing. The
comedy parts are well handled by Don
MacMillan and , Bert Boza, as the silly
negro and the "crushed actor," - with
Little Fox springing up from behind a
convenient rock whenever Pamnena Is
in -danger,' and - Pamnena getting the
"drop" on the "bad man," whenever Lit
tle" Fox, Is hot there, is sufficient to
make a drama that pleases the masses.
The play Is one . that appeals especial
ly to lovers of melodrama - who have
grown' tired of those depicting life in
the . under wfcrld of the treat cities
where crime and debauchery are brought
to view and in contrast with that class
of play the new production is refreshing

magic. He lias visited the Grand In
other seasons and returns this week Cor

comes -with an illusion' which he says
is even better than the other, although
tnat seems almost impossiDie.
In addition to this noted headllner
there will be a number of other big
acts, such as singers, dancers, comedi
ans and novelties, i Tne special added
attraction are Keller's Virginia Belles.
Here Is a girl act containing seven
maidens . doing singing ana dancing
numbers in a way to- captivate every
one who sees and hears them.
