"PLEASURE MAD"
now showing at the Grand theater,
found plenty of swashbuckling ad
venture threading the experiences
of the men who fought their way
at every tep for a foot-hold on
our continent.
In the foreground runs Ameri
ca's first love xtory of Priscilla
and John Alden woven amid the
thrilling adventures of the Pilgrim
fathers. Among these were the
troubles with .the pirate crew, the
almost disastrous storm at sea,
the famine during ,the first year,
the constant menace of the In
dians and the final triumph over
terrible handicaps.

at Bligh Today
niigh features today include:
May, June and Miles: One of
the most amusing and mirth pro
ducing novelties of the current
season is the comedy skit present
ed by this . clever trio entitled
"Sign the pook." While it is
billed as a skit, it has all the ear
marks of a travesty inasmuch as
the character portrayed by Chas.
Miles is that of a fresh express
man who makes a habit of walk
ing in without knocking.
" Fred and Villa Royce present a
comedy singing, talking skit en
titled "Here Comes the Bride and
Away Goes My Liberty." This is
a fast, snappy line of chatter ..cle
verly put over by a pair of real
artists. Their singing voices are
pleasing and they present a nov
elty surprise finish that usually
creates applause. It is an offer
ing that will satisfy, amuse and
entertain charmingly.

season with-the circus-under the

themselves as. a standard act of

being accepted and the seat sale

"A Hlg Reward" is from the pen j
of Aaron Hoffman, who has con-
structed an exceedingly witty com-1
edy, depending for laushter on the :
ludicrous efforts of detectives, j
both amateur and professional, to I
recover a priceless painting stolen:
from the Metropolitan -Museum of j
Art. Hoffman has made his story i
fit exactly with the fun-making
qualities of Kolb and Dill. The j
eternal conflict between the pair !
provides a maximum of laughter j
which continues throughout to a '
surprising climax. !
Kolb portrays the role of Fred
erick Erandt, a "man about town."
a sort of gay ' rounder," and the
action of the piece transpires in
his apartment in a big Xew York
hotel. Dill, his roly-poly associate,
is seen as a waiter in this same
hostelry.
Kolb and Dill have assembled
an exceptionally all-star cast this
season. Anions the principals sup
porting the comedians are Ivan
Miller, Richard Allan. May Cloy
and Rose Ludwig.
Asusual, they are carrying their
own special orchestra under the
leadership of Leo Flanders, an
Aggregation of musicians who have
gained prominence in the world of
catchy music.
