bles. Realizing by some of yesterday’s
buyers sent prices off a few points after

became a little less active and after
showing a net advance of five to ten

Nannette Flack in “Adele,” at
the Grand Tomorrow Night
“Adele.”
Much interest is being manifested
in the engagement of the daluty oper
etta, “Adele," which comes to the
Grand next Wednesday, matinee and
evening, and which brings with It here
the emphatic and unanimous endorse
ment of the press and public of New
York city where the piece has beqji
running all season at the Longacro
atm Harris theatres.
“Adele," unlike many other musi
cal offerings, does not depend upon
a big chorus and ensemble numbers
ft r its success, for be it known that
the. play itself is one of the cleverest
comedies seen in many a day, and
would undobdtedly be a big hit even
if it had no musical numbers at all.
But it has twenty-two and each and
everyone of them is of the whistly
sort.
'i he book and lyrics are by Paul
Herve and the music by Jean Baiquet,
and was adapted for the American
stage by Adolf Phillip and Edward
Pauiton, who so successfully made the
English version of "Alma.”
The plot of “Adele" deals with a
young girl who is too young to marry
without her father’s consent and who
is ir love with a man her father does
net approve of, because he is the son
of his rival in business. Consequently
she prevails upon her friend Myrianne
to help her out of her plight. Myrl
onne is In love with the Baron Charles
de Chantilly, a nobleman without
funds, but cannot marry him without
losing her dowry in her late hus
band’s estate, he having stipulated in
his will that If she marry his estate
is to go elsewhere.
Myrianne prevails upon the baron
to marry Adele, and leave her as soon
as the ceremony is performed; Adele
can then divorce him and, as a di
vorcee, marry the man of her choice.
The scheme fails, because they fall in
love with each other, and Myrianne
and Robert Frebor, Adele’s former
sweetheart, are left to console each
other. There are many bright lines
in the dialogue and many laughable
situations that are brought about in
a most natural manner.
The cast engaged is one of the best
ever sent out of New York and in
cludes Carolyn Thomson. John Park,
Nannette Flack, Alfred Kappler, Lot
tie Vincent, George O'Donnell, Ralph
Nairn, Jules Epailly, Lawrence Knapp
and others. The scenic Investiture
and costumes are the most gorgeous
seen in many a day.
RAPID PROGRESS
BY GRAND JURY
May Finish Consideration of
Criminal Business By Tomor
row—Total of 60 Cases to
Be Presented.
The grand jury Is progressing re
markably well with the business which
is coming before It and It Is possible
that all criminal matters will be dis
posed of by tomorrow. Solicitor Gen
eral Franklin had about 90 cases to
present, the majority of them consist
ing of burglaries, robberies, assaults
with Intent to murder, etc.
There have been two murder cases
considered and true bills found, so it
is understood.
Yesterday the grand jury consid
ered the esse against Henry Dinkins,
charged with assault with intent to
murder Capt. Fred Cartledge, of the
fire department.
The case against J. P. Armstrong,
cashier of the defunct Irish American
Bank, who Is charged with embezzle
ment, has not been presented as yet,
but will be, so It Is thought, tomorrow.
There will be civil business trans
acted In the superior court next week
