"The Man on the Box,” Saturday Mat
inee and Evening
Bor .Saturday matinee and evening at
the Grand the attraction will be "The
Man on the Box," one of the most de
lightful comedy dramas ever offered
to the public. The play is a dramatiza
tion by Grace Livingstone Furnlae of
Marold McGrath's famous novel of the
■ame name and it tells a bright whole
some tale which scintillates and sparkles
from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
Nearly everybody has read the novel
and will readily remember how the mis
chief loving young lieutenant Itoberf
Narburton on the night of Washington's
greatest ball, to play a practical joke on
Ms slater, disguises himself as her
coachman, Intending to drive her and
her chum home at a law defying speed
late, snatch h kiss from his sister and
vanish before she could find out the
trick. Everything starts In very nicely
for the lieutenant’s scheme, hut by a
mistake in carriage signals, he mounts
the box of tho wrong carriage, and Ig
norant of the change, drives away at
a reckless speed. He gets his kiss,
however from a s’range girl, Betty An
nesley. a Colonel's daughter and Is af
terward arrested, locked up in a charge
of fast driving and disorderly conduct
mul is heavily fined tho next morning.
It would be a shame to tell any more
of the plot of this delightful play; it
must be seen to tie nppresiated. The
principal cole of Lieut. Robert War
burton was created by that excellent
American actor, Mr. Henry K. Dixey,
and In it he scored one of his greatest
success. The piece had an unusually
long run on Broadway and afterwards
toured most successfully for three years
lu all of the larger cities.

tinction of being the most popular dra
matic offering of recent years, and
amply worthy of rank with the same
author’s earlier triumphs, "The Third
Degree" ajid "The Lion and the Mouse"
us a play that exerts an irresistible ap
peal on every class of theatregoer,
whether orchestra, chair-holder or gal
lery occupant.
In his latest contribution to the stage,
Mr. Klein has gone far off the beaten
track pursued by pluyrights recently
with the result that ::The Gamblers" is
a virile, vital exposition of a. certain
phase of present-day life in Wall street
and Fifth avenue, those two mainsprings
offlnance and fashion, vividly accurate
in its realism, and of unfaltering inter
est from its opening line to the final
curtain. It’s story deal with Wilbur
Emerson who, as leader of a group of
speculators engaged in a bitter battle for
’dollars, brings himself and his associates
under the ban of the federal laws by
the misuse of trust funds in a desperate
endeavor to demolish th* power of an
opposition clique. Discovering young
Emerson s violation of the banking laws,
the authorities determine to make an
example of him and his partners, anu
the case is placed in tile hands of
James Darwin, a smug but intellectual
hypocrite posing as a civic reformer who
lias married a former sweetheart of
Emerson's.

Tho Girls With Mutt and Jeff, at The Grand Tomorrow Night
At The Bijou
The popular Bijou will offer to its
patrons this week one of the best pro
grams of the many that it has offered.
The management of this popular play
house has given the vaudeville fans
a great line of acts and motion photo
graphy since its opening early in
September, and that they are appreci
ated is evidenced by the capacity
houses that are ever to be found
there. In this week's program there
is an abundance of comedy, and that
is what we all want. Laugh and the
world laughs with you. If you can't
laugh and show that “Sunny Jnn"’
grin, you are not wanted. The man
agement must have had this in mind
for a. glance at the program shows
that it contains several laugh artists
who come highly recommended as
sure cures for the blues and severe
case of grouchinettis. There will be
two shows given as usual, changing
on Thursday afternoon. The program
for tho first half, .commencing tomor
row afternoon, will be given as fol
lows: The Bijougraph will present
a new De Luxe photo-plav with a
good company. Les Legerts will give
a marvelous act of hand balancing.
They are said to be the foremost irj
their line. Peters and O’Neil, comedy
singers and talkers, will render a
number of a whistable class and will
also slip over a bunch of new smiles
fresh from the laundry, good and
clean. Italia and Greene will give
several character comedy impersona
tions that are sure to get that over
due laugh. Addison and Livingston
will offer a jolly line of nonsense,
w ith only one purpose, “it is to laugh.”
The Bijougraph will close with an
other new De Luxe photo-play.
The new show which will come
from b'avannah, will commence Thurs
day afternoon at four bells. The Bi
jougraph will lead with a new photo
play, followed by John and Alice Mc-
Dowell in a comedy sketch of real
merit and which is said to be worthy
©f tne laughs that they are reciving
all along the line. Howard and
Alma will be seen in a dramatic
sketch entitled “The Spirits of 1776
and 1865.” They are two clever ac
tors and their success here is assured.
Nelle Marcelle Marlon, a bewitching
comedienne, wTll captivate all with
a clever line of new songs and a bit
of poetry of motion, Oh, you, Nelle!
The biggest feature of the week, how
ever, will be the Troy comedy four,
w’ho will do all in their power to un
cork that penj; up laugh. This will
be one of the biggest acts that ha
ever played here, and it is just like
betting on the Giants that they will
go some big In the old town. The Bi
jougraph with a De Luxe photo-play
will close.
The performances will commence
at the matiness at 4 p. m., and even
ings at 8 and 9:30. Same old prices.

AT THE MODJeIk/L .
"Crossing the Alps in a Motor”
at Modjeska Tomorrow.
The Modjeaka tomorrow offers an
entire feature program that is one of
the best that has been offered recent
ly at that handsome picture theatre,
including. "Crossing the Alps in a Mo
tor,’' which will literally make a feast
for the eye. Rare scenes of rugged
beauty in exquisite colors make this
one of the most beautiful scenic films
that has ever been issued. Another
of Monday’s excellent picture is "Dan,
the Dandy,” a forceful feature film
showing the disappointment that a
father has in his son. The other of
tomorrow's films for the Modjeska is
one that will delight old and young
alike, "Jimmie off Guard,” featuring
the phenomenal child actor, Jimmie,
who is a favorite with countless thou
sands all over the habitable globe.
AT THE BONITA
Bonita’s Feature Picture and
Musical Program Tomorrow.
The Bonita retains all of its former
popularity and is constantly increasing
in public favor. It has been beauti
fied recently so as to make it as ar
tistically beautiful as any picture thea
tre in the state. Tomorrow the Bo
nita announces a special feature pic
ture program, “A Squaw’s Rove,” an
Indian poem of love in pictures. From
the very beginning the story seizes
the attention and holds it throughout
the entire telling of it, becoming more
fascinating as the picture advances.
The other is a screaming comedy, “The
Wager,” You can wager all you have,
too, that there is some real meaning
in the title of th e film. It is a sure
tbing laugh winner and will please
any audience, matters not how intelli
gent or otherwise. It's a cure for the
darkest ills, and it lightens the doctor's
bills.
The Bonita has been the recipient
of hundreds of remarks of praise for
the great musical programs that have
been rendered there during the last
week. It is a question if there is a
picture theatre in the entire South that
is using a seven-piece orchestra, yet
that is just what the Bonita is doing.
The program for tomorrow consists
of:
I. —Overture —Italian in Algiers—
Rossini.
ll The Red Mill—Herbert.
111 Waltz.
Dealers say its the best e v er. Have
you tried one? BINGO.
