Thoro still romalns somo of tho old contracts to bo finished, besides each ward In tho city has inaugurated a move ment for improvement, and In viow of tho fact that tho work will bo commoncod much earlier, nio.ng In tho month of April, a conservative estimate would seem to place the improvement for tho coming yoar at about $300,000.

Hanford in a modern play is an announcement that rings strangely In tho oars of playgoers who have thronged to soo him In the great roles of tho classic drama. But tho announcement carries a thrill of compelling interest, with its surprise, for the prospect of seeing a char actor of our own time and people portrayed with the vivid human in terest which Mr. Hanford has given- to such roles as Marc Antony and Shylock must arrest attention. As a rule the modern American type la represented on the stago as a purely comedy creation. Mr. Hanford gives tho title rolo in "Tho American Lord," his offering for this season, tho benefit of a training in the heroic moods of an Othollo as well as in tho graceful suavity of a Bene dick. The play has already been tested in tho competent hands of Wm. H. Crane, and its success is al ready an assured fact. It is a play that deals with conditions of today, handling with tactful force the in stinctive distrust which American and Briton often feci toward each other. The western millionaire who aftor a career which tested his stoutness of heart and strength of arm finds hlmsolf required to take up llfo in what rural statesmen are wont to stylo "an effcto Aristocracy" is a rugged yet refined character picture which Mr. Hanford's versa tile qualities aro well calculated to realize. The play also has a great advantage in the opportunity af forded by its leading feminine role to Miss Mario Drofnah whoso admir ers will bo delighted to find her- cast in so unusual yet cmlnontly congenial a manner. A number of favorites of other Hanford seasons will bo recognized in the list of players, the company being on of the best that has over supported this eminent player. Tho produc tion will be a complete ono and ful ly up to tho standard of excellence so characteristic of provlous offer igs. ' Tho dato of Mr. Hanford's pro duction of "Tho American Lord" at the Grand Opera House is Thursday, February 17. A Scene in "The ltight of Way, Sir Gilbert Parker's novel. "Tho Right of Way."
