At The Grand
"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS" THIS
EVENING.
In ‘‘Polly of the Circus,” Frederic
Thompson, the original producer, sur
passed himself in his efforts to give
novel investiture to the stage story of
a child actress, a circus rider, who
meets with an accident, falls in love
with a minister, marries him and lives
happily ever after. Miss Elsie St.
l.eon, the youngest leading woman on
the stage today, and also one of the
world’s greatest bareback riders, has
the title role in ‘‘Polly of the Circus"
which will be seen here at the Grand
this evening. This play was the at
traction at the Liberty Theatre, New
York City, for one solid year and it
is promised that the same lavish ex
penditure in the matter of accessories
has been forthcoming to make this pro
duction of ‘‘Polly of the Circus’ as re
markable as on its former presenta
tions. Seats now' selling.
MAUDE ADAMS—SEATS ON SALE
TOMORROW.
Can you imagine an author in setting
out to evolve a polite comedy select
ing a murderess as his heroine? And
yet this is just what J. M. Barrie did
when he wrote “The Legend of Leo
nora" for Maude Adams. The hero
ine, Leonora, with her little daugh
ter, was in a railw'ay carriage. The
child had a sniffy cold and Leonora
wanted the window closed. There was
a brute of a man who refused to shut
it. So Leonora pushed him out and
Leonora was a murderess. The theme
of this play in which Miss Adams is
to be seen at the Gram? next Tuesday
evening as well as the predominating
quality of Leonora is motherhood, that
brooding, protecting, selfish, if you
wish to call It. feeling characteristic
of true motherhood which places the
safety of her child above other con
sideration. This is no new theme and
no new quality of womanhood, either
on or off the stage, but it is presented
in a decidedly novel way by Mr. Bar*
tie in this play. In spite of any im
probability which the captious one
may find there is keen interest and
leal pleasure in the ingenious work
ing out of the whimsical story or the
calm and dispassionate wav In which
this woman in order to protect her
child commits the crime of murder
and then assumes the attitude that it
was the most natural act in the world
in view of the circumstances, trivial in
themselves, hut vastly important to
her as a mother, and holds it so strong
ly and with such an utter absence of
self-consciousness that she is doing
nothing unusual that she brings every
one she meets, including judge and
Jury and lawyers to her way of think
ing. The new play Is the fifth long
one by Barrie that Miss Adams has
given in this country. Seats on sale

•‘THE OLD HOMESTEAD.”
There are some things we cannot
escape. For instance there is the
smile of April, the violets in spring
time, the early potato, and Denman
Thompson’s ’’The Old Homestad.”
The reason we cannot escape them
is because nature is to good to us.
Nature has a kindly, as well as a wise
loresight. She gives us what we need,
just when we need It, and she knows
our moods better than we do. “The
old Homestead” has been as perennial
as spring time for twenty nine
seasons. It is useless to talk about
ihe merits of the famous old master
piece, for two generations of play
goers have laughed with dear Uncle
Josh and have had their hearts touch
ed by this beautiful picture of rural
life, the most beautiful and the clean
ist that has ever been seen on any
stage The grand old New England
idyl returns to the Grand next Wed
nesday matinee and evening with all
the well known favorites In the cast,
the famous musical features and a new
production under the personal direc
tion of Mr Frank Thompson. Seats

sonance with lack of steady employ
ment.
Wheat exports for the week were 7,-
400,3811 bushels against 5,801,412 bushels
last year.
Business failures in the United States
for the week, five days, were 511 com

COTTON THIS WEEK
New York.—The cotton market was
comparatively quiet between the holi
days. After making new high ground
for the movement early in the week the
market met considerable realizing and
southern selling. Reactions however,
were limited and thre was sufficient in
vestment buying on the setbacks to pdo
mote a generally steady undertone.
Some of the selling on the early week
advance seemed to be promoted by pre
dictions that after the filling of Dec
ember engagements the demand for
spot cotton in the South would slacken
and the rather freer southern selling
was taken by some as foreshadowing
increased pressure from the huge avail
able supply.
The failure of southern spot offerings
to become heavy enough to cause a
sharp break in prices before Christmas
seemed to have made a considerable im
pression on sentiment. however, and
much of the talk around the ring has
reflected a more optimistic view of
prices.
That tendency has been supported by
reports of an improving trade in thedo
me#4ic goods markets; expectations of
continued of continued interest on the
part of shippers and southern advices
indicating that a large amount of cotton
has been abandoned in the fields owing
to its low grade and the unsatifactory
market for such desorptions.
It appeared also that the first differ
cenes fixed between the government
grades as applies to deliveries on Jan
uary, tended to emphasize the stricter
requirements of the official grading and
promote conidence in the value of the
new syle contract.
