ANNOUNCEMENTS
At the Grand Opera House.
The offering for today, Friday and Sat-
urday at the Grand will be : :The Bank-
er's Frolic," a bill that is full of comedy
every minute. Robert Greer as the re-
tired village banker spends his vacation in
the city with his wife (Hazel Langford),
and daughter (Miss Rochelle). While there
they stop at apartments. There "Mr.
O'Brien" becomes acquainted with an ac-
tress * Til lie Shepherdi, and in the course

TWO sues 1ST DIE ROAD BISTERS ELECT
At the Majestic.
Ifraembcr your first rtdp In an auto
mobile, if you are a woman? Remember
her first ride in an aufomobile, if you
are a man? Let Mary Norman Recall
the thrilling funny side of the experience
for you.
Miss Norman is filling the house at the
Majestic this week in her burlesque on
various types of "Women I Have Met."
the automobile ride is one of the many
features of her turn that are true to life
and yet caricatured so cleverly that they
are ridiculously laughable. Women shop-
ping, women dancing, women in conversa-
tion over their tea- these are some of the
types this vaudeville favorite portrays.
Sager Midgle.v and company are noth-
ing short of astonishing in their mirror
act. "Karly Morning Reflections" is the
title of the comedy sketch. Mr. Midgle.v
as the colonel's valet, makes up precisely
like the colonel, stands behind a mirror
less frame and follows every motion of
the colonel to such perfection that the
audience catches itself doubting that a real
mirror is not showing tho colonel's fool-
1 ish capers the "morning after" a huge
night.
Mack and Ortli intersperse their sketch,
"The Wrong Hero," with songs that are
half gesture and f the most foolish sort.
Not a performance lias passed this week
with its unusually funny bill that Mack
and Orth have not given a good account
of themselves.
John E. Henshaw and Miss Grace Avery
in "Strangers in a Strange Flat" are re-
mindful of some, of "the most successful
musical comedies in which Mr. Henshaw
has starred. Arthur Geary, tbe Austrian
tenor, who has been featured in such pro-
ductions as the "Passing Show of 1912,"
keeps his audience alert with a lively
repertoire of descriptive and popular
songs.
The Four Athletas are more than pret-
ty women; they are handsome, for the
word more nearly fits their strong, grace-
ful figures, and as much their athletic
work. Mario and Duffy are as funny as
they are clever in their gymnastic work.
At the Princess.
"Washington at Valley Forge" will be
hpcu at the Princess tomorrow. It is one
of the ErealesI feature films of tile day,
showing rrancin Ford, (lane Cunard and
others.
Betty, the daiichier of a minute-man who
was killed in the hattle of Lexington, is
stopping at the inn of her uncle, a Tory
sympathizer, near the winter camp of
Washington's army al Valley Forge. Betty
loves and is eourted by a rebel soldier
who in reality is a British spy. A detach
input of Hessians are occupying the inn
when news arrives from Valley Forge that
the time Is propitious for attacking I he

Continentals. Betty overhears the plans
of the Hessians. To carry word of the
proposed attack to Washington she dis
pui.'os as a crippled boy. and by a clever
ruse she obtains the written plans of the
Hessians.
The conspirators intend to murder Wash-
ington as he sleeps, and he Is conducted
to a bedroom by the Tory innkeeper.
Betty now liberates her brother, and
tells him to fly to Valley Forge and bring
the Continental soldiers to save their gen-
eral.
Betty then goe« to Washington's bed-
room and tells hi in: "The landlord says
you must take the other room, sir. This
one is already taken."
• Washington, with no suspicion of the
girl's noble purpose, is led into her bed-
room, while she returns and occupies bis
room.
The spy cannot prevail upon any one
of his soldiers to do the bloody deed,
so he decides to do it himself. He steals
upstairs and into the room he supposes
is occupied by Washington. (.Mice beside
the bed. he plunges Ills dagger into the
form which is lying before him.
In the meantime. Betty's brother has
warned the Continentals of the plot against
Washington's life. La Fayette hurries to
the inn with a detachment ol soldiers.
Upon his arrival at the lnu he accuses the
spy.
"Too late.'' cries the traitor. "Your
commander lies dead upstairs."
At this moment General Washington
comes downstairs, unscathed. A moment
later Ilettj follows him, wounded to
death. She denounces her former sweet
heart and dies. The spy i* taken prisoner
and carried awav to await the punishment
which is reserved for traitors.

A CORRECTION.
To the Editor:
The announcement in the Bishop adver-
tisement that plowing is going on was
an error. Plowing has been completed
and the laud is in cultivation. The an-
nouncement in the page ad of the Aviatriee
flying over Bishop concerning plowing was
erroneous, in that all of the land has been
plowed.
