Saturday night to have really known
how popular this playhouse is. It was
literally packed from pit to dome with
people, all of whom, judging from the
hearty and repeated applause, enjoyed
every moment of the show.
Dancing Last Night.
A striking feature of the perform
ance Saturday night was the tango
dancing contest on the stage in which
several of Augusta’s best known young
men came from the audience and
danced with the young ladies of the
company. The dancing was superb
and every couple was encored to the
echo.

"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS.”
"Polly of the Circus," which will be
offered at the Grand New Year’s day.
matinee and evening, tells a story that
is as old as the world and yet fresh
and beautiful. It Is an exquisite ro
mance, the heart Interest of which is
eager throughout. Margaret Mayo chose
a unique setting and her development of
the theme is brilliant. When as dainty
an actress as Elsie St. Leon interprets
the title role, the play's attraction is
enhanced and patrons of the Grand will
be delighted with the performance. The
romantic comedy Is brlmfull of inter
esting incidents and it is difficult to
designate that which, above al‘ others,
Is the best. However, the thrill of the
circus scene Is admittedly immense and
the novelty of this realistic act does not
stale. The finale Is touching and beau
tiful—the reunited lovers, the parson and
the equestrienne, standing on the de
serted lot, watching the circus wagons
disappear In the distance. This scene
is a triumph of mechanical’ skill.
"WITHIN THE LAW.”
One of the gripping scenes in "With
in the Law,” Bayard Veiller’s success
ful new play of metropolitan life which
Selwyn and Company is to offer here at
the Grand for n return engagement at
an early date, provides the spectacle of
a professional criminal confessing the
guilt for a murder voluntarily and going
to his execution because of his devotion
to a woman who befriended him In an
vur of peril. This piny has for its
PHra character a pretty young woman
convicted of a crime of which sbe Is in
nocent. who. upon her release from
prison is forced Into warfare with the
authorities, matching her wits and cour
age against police brutality and adroitly
avoiding the clutches of the law, al
though she preys upon society at will.
The excellent cast engaged for "Within
the law ' Is In keeping with the stand
ard of exoal'ence of the production of
Selwvn and Company, the producers.
"THE OLD HOMESTEAD/’
“The Old Homestead,” Denman
Thompson’s play which lie made famous,
and which was last seen here with Mr.
Thompson, will be presented at the
Grand early next month. Below is given
a criticism from the Norfolk Ledger-

inward L. Snader, t lie new master of
tno homestead at Swanzey, New Hamp
sinre, fills the vacant role as though ho
were bred for the part, and falls little
snort of the charming original. He is
delightful. It Is Interesting to know
that eight of the present cast have been
with the G!d Homestead since its first
Performance, and three among them
nave passed the mark of three score and
ten. The show is owned and managed
by Frank Thompson, son of Denman,
and as daughter, Annie Thompson, plays
the part of Mrs. Hopkins. All arc good,
ah nfe anxious to please, and all suc
ceed handsomely. In short, it is the
same identical, delightful Old home
stead, which is the best that can be
said for it.
An unusual so-called quartette, con
sisting. however, of eight male voices,
and without which there could he no Old
Ilomstead, poured out such rich, rare
harmony that repeated encores almost
severed the thread of the story.
The Old Homestead has become an in
stitution in the land, like Jefferson’s Rip
Van "Winkle and a few others, that one
never tires of seeing. There is a true
moral in the old story of the* prodigal
son that strikes home and creeps into
the heart. There is roaring comeuy,
tinged with sadness in its cmake-up.
