METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE CO.
(INCORPORATED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK. STOCK COMPANY.)
JOHN R. HEGEMAN, President.
ANOTHER VALUABLE CONCESSION
to Industrial policy holders. The Company announces that every person insured in the Metropolitan under a Whole Life Industrial
policy who is now 75 years of age or over IS RELIEVED OF FURTHER PAYMENT OF WEEKLY PREMIUMS, and a similar
concession will he made to all persons now insured under Whole Life policies who will reach age 75 during 1907 as soon as they
arrive at that age.
This concession takes effect as of January 1,1907, and all premiums paid in advance of that date on any policy such AS »
WE REFER TO WILL BE RETURNED TO THE POLICY-HOLDER. This action of the Company in granting
FREE POLICIES AT AGE 75 '
is without precedent in the insurance business and we believe the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is the only Company that '
has granted such a concession. This will cost in increase of reserve and in remission of premiums this year <
OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS
To appreciate the generous treatment accorded to its policy-holders by the Metropolitan Life, it must be remembered that al
ready during THIS YEAR it has announced and is paying OVER TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in voluntary contributions to
Industrial policy-holders, over and above all obligations expressed or implied in their policies, by a cash dividend upon all Whole Life
Industrial policies over five years old, by mortuary dividends (that is, voluntary additions to the face of the policies-when they become
claims) applicable to all death claims incurred during tho year where policies at the date of death have been in force over five years,
and by paying as endowments Whole Life policies on which premiums have been paid for 15 years when insured reaches age 80. J:
x This makes a total of OVER THREE MILLIONS THIS YEAR allowed to Industrial policy-holders, over and above the j
contract obligations, and OVER THIRTEEN MILLIONS during the past twelve years.
If this announcement of a free policy affects any reader of this advertisement, and if his case has not yet been attended to,
we ask him to speak to the agent who collects his premiums and the agent will attend to forwarding the policy to the Home Office, TO f
BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT EXPENSE, FOR A FREE POLICY FOR THE FULL AMOUNT CALLED FOR BY THE «
POLICY SURRENDERED. V'
INCREASE IN BENEFITS
New Tables with large increases of benefits in Industrial policies have been adopted. The payment of premiums on all new Industrial
Life policies will cease at age 75. Reductions have been made in the premiums charged for most of the forms of Ordinary policies.

THE THEATERS
"Buster Brown."
Buster Brown,” with Master Rosen
In the title role, will be the attraction
at the Grand optra house Friday aft
ernoon at matinee and attain Friday
night, affording the theater-going pub
lic the eecond opportunity of the lea-
son of witnessing this successful mu
sical comedy. The chorue Is one of the
best, the music bright and catchy, the
lines clever, while the selection from
the famoue cartoons by R. F. Outcault
has been made with a view to produc
ing the best possible results.
"Hit House In Order.”
The play that has been the largest
subject of discussion for months among
the theatergoers of New York, "His
House In Order." In which John Drew
Is declared to have made the most
phenomenal success of his career, will
be seen at the Grand next Saturday at
matinee and night.
The remarkable novelty of Mr. Pine-
ro's play, the skillful dramatic situa
tions he presents, the new characters
her offers, the series of thrills In the
four acts, and the numerous surprises
that occur in the different erenes make
It something entirely different from the
run of plays with which theatergoers
are familiar, and cauee It not only to
be talked about, but enthusiastically
admired. Mr. Drew is perfectly at
home In the delightful polished role of
the ex-dipiomat, who straightens out
his brother's family troubles, and Mar-
garet Illlngton, his leading lady, It Is
believed, Is conspicuously splendid In
the part of . the rebellious wife, around
whom the play revolves.

peared in a more congenial role than
that of Josle of Charles E. Blancy's
new American musical comedy drama,

Those music lovers who Insisted that

ments whereby the famous Kilties

The Sembrieh Concert.
The Richmond (Va.) Leader had the
following to say of Marcella Sembrieh,
who will be heard at the Grand, April
5, on the occasion of the great singer’s
appearance In that city:
"One of the most pleasing features
In connection with Sembrich's concerts
Is the charming and gracious manner
In which the great artist responds to
encores. At. a recent recital In Car
negie hall she had given a lengthy
program, and the people had given
every demonstration of approval pos
sible, cheering, applauding and send
ing flowers until her grand plarto was
literally hidden .beneath the huge bou
quets; but the audience Insisted upon
more."
James O'Neill Coming.
That popular romantic actor, James
O’Neill, is coming to the Grand next
Monday, the day after Easter. Many
theatergoers have been deprived of go.
