PAUL GILMORE.
Of the season’s success, "The Wheel
of Love,” with Paul Gilmore as the star,
which comes to the Grand Friday night, (
Jan. 17th, the Augusta (Ga.) Herald says:
"One of tire very largest houses of the
season greeted Augusta’s great favorite,
Paul Gilmore, last night, in his new play,
‘The Wheel of Love.’ Not only was the
house the largest and decidedly the most .
fashionable of the season, but it was the
most appreciative. Always Mr. Gilmore
carries his audience along with him in a
deep wave of enthusiasm, but this was
true to a marked degree of his auditors
last evening. Their decidedly approving '
attitude was testified to in the most spon- 1
■ taneous laughter and applause and in per-
sistent curtain calls that would not be •
silenced until the young actor responded :
with a little speech delivered in his usual -
happy manner. ;
“Undei1 such conditions it would be im- ,
possible for any capable actor to do other
than good work, -and Mr. Gilmore was ,
at his happy best last night.”
Henry W. Savage’s5 Garden theater this
year in New York again set to talking
both the operatic and fashionable world.
Puccini’s Japanese grand opera was heard
..nightly by enthusiastic audiences that
• tested the capacity of the house. It was
a repeat of last year’s fine success when
the fascinating work ran for the largest
number of consecutive performances Gf
any grand opera in any country.

Next in the -order on the program will
be Miss Gladys Middleton, mezzo soprano,

William Montgomers will sing a popular
illustrated song entitled “Come Along,
Little Girl, Come Along.”
One of the laugh-provoking features of
the week’s acts will be Charles . Ryan,
the famous monol-ogist and entertainer.
Mr. Ryan is the funniest of comedians,
and his- work has) gained a v^ide name
all along the circuit.
The finishing act will be Curran & De-
grey in a novelty comedy sketch, featur-
ing Victor Cramer’s latest success, “I’ve
Been Looking for a Girl Like You.” This
act is said to be one of the most meritori-
ous and amusing on the Lyric circuit.
The past week has been a most suc-
cessful one at the Colonial and the com-
pany appearing there matinee and night
have pleased exceedingly well.

For the coming week Manager Brand

BEFORE THE FOOTLIGHTS.
The story of the “Two Dromio-s”
known to nearly every school boy ;
girl, how the stupid servant “The Dromio
of Ephesus” and the witty servant "The
Dromio cf Syracuse,” resembled each oth-
er so much that their masters could not
tell them apart, and how that the very
same masters looked so much alike that
their own servants could not detect, any
difference. Upon these little deceptions
.hang the plot of “The Comedy of Errors,”
a charming comedy written by Shake-
speare and announced to be played here
by that great dramatist’s greatest ex-
ponent, Louis James.
One of the- most important, musical at-
tractions to be seen in this city during
the season is “Woodland,” which comes
to the Grand at an early., date. This is
Henry W. Savage’s successful comic op-,
era production, called a fantasy of the
forest and it has attracted wide notice
as the most novel and original perform-
ance the stage lias witnessed in recent
years.
“Madam Butterfly’s” second triumph at
THE PURE FOOD LAW.
Secretary Wilson says: "One of the ob-
jects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer of the presence of certain harmful
drugs in medicines.” The law requires
that the amount of chloroform, op.um.
morphine, and other habit forming drugs
be stated on the label of each bo file.
The manufacturers of. Chamberlain’s
Gough Remedy have always claimed that
their remedy did not contain any of these
drugs, and the truth of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention of them is
made on th6 label. This remedy is not
•-•nly one of the safest, but one of the best
in use for coughs and colds. Its value
has been proven beyond question during
the many , years it has been in general
use. For sale by all druggists.

"THE SPRING CHICKEN.” ;
Richard Carle in person will be the un-
usually. strong attraction at the- Grand
opera house on Tuesday, Jan. 21. The tall
comedian, author and composer is coming
himself this time, instead of sending some-
one else in a role that lie has created.
He comes as Ambrose Girdle in “The
Spring Chicken,” the .character which, he
thinks the greatest of -all the various
men of the drama that he has created.
Although he has made. Texas the scene
of “The Tenderfoot,” one of his musical
plays, he has never made an extended
tour through the state. As Mr. Carle
is a big social favorite everywhere, his
coming will be quite a social event locally.

“THE WALLS OF JERICO.”
The forthcoming appearance at
Grand Wednesday night of Herbert
cey and Effie Shannon must awaken pleas-
ant memories among those who car. recall
the artistic efforts of these co-stars while,
they were members of the old Lyceum
stock company, under the direction of
Daniel Frohman.
For nine years Mr. Kelcey- served as
leading man for that splendid organiza-
tion, and for half the period MUs Shannon
won the golden laurels as ingenue in all
of the great Lyceum successes.
It has been quite a long spell since
these artists entered into a business ar-
rangement whereby both should tour the
country and be jointly featured, and in
all that time the public warmly evinced
a satisfaction which comes from real
dramatic enjoyment.
Mr. Kelcey and Miss Shannon will ap-
pear this time in the successful play en-
titled “The Walls of Jericho,” by Alfred
Sutro, which it is reported give both of
these stars such opportunities as are sel-
dom -allotted.
“The Walls of Jerlco” will be offered
in dress of great elaboration, and its
interpretation done by a thoroughly good
supporting company.
“45 MINUTES FROM BROADWAY.”
Giving the followers their money’s
“ISLE OF SPICE."
Those who desire a couple of hours
rest and relaxation from the cares of
the busy world; those who -enjoy pretty
pictures with all the picturesque environ-
ment that the delightful oriental locality
of the Japan Sea renders possible; and
all those to whom beautiful femininity,
with sweet voices, handsomely costumed,
appeals, are promised a rare treat in that
piquant musical mixture, the "Isle- of
Spice,” which B. C. Whitney’s musical
comedy company will present at the
Grand Thursday night. There is a charm
about the piece that never fails to win
the appreciation of the most critical, and
it is said to be a rare individual who,
having seen this attraction once, can re-
sist the desire to enjoy a second perform-
ance. The music is of that refreshing
quality of which one never grows tired,
the stage business is new, the ladies who
constitute the chorus are young, pretty,
and said to be the best singers and danc-
ers on the American stage at the present
time. The company, which is one of the
largest in the musical com'edy field, is
headed by that clever comedian, John
Mylie, -and he is. abljr assisted by Chas.
Purcell, Harry B. Watson, Harry Wil-
worth has long been an axiom of George
M. Cohan, whose latest and best piece,
“Forty-five Minutes From Broadway,”
with Scott Welch in the leading part, is
to be presented at the Grand Tuesday
night only by Klaw & Erlanger. Follow-
ing out this theory he has provided an
entertainment that would succeed along
either of two lines, and as a result scores
unusual success along both. His play
might be considered entirely by itself, for
there is a real plot that is acted for all
there is in it by a company of real actors,
and in addition there are enough song
hits to entitle the piece to recognition and
fame on that score alone and make the
fame of a mediocre musical comedy. In
this case the songs have been subordinat-
ed to the drama, and both gain in strength
thereby. It is filled with delicious com-
edy moments, and one -characteriszati m
in particular has been so extraordinarily
successful that it has been made the basis
for another play with this part the domi-
nant feature. This as the ex-prize-fighter,
“Kid Burns,” played by Scott Welch,
whose naive viewpoint and quaint slang
have been the talk of the theater-going
world ever since he was given to the
stage two years’ ago. It is a. part that
would make the reputation of any actor of
even moderate ability. Miss Frances Gor-
don will portray the character of “Plain
Mary,” the servant maid of New Rochelle,
together with the original company ano
production.
“THE SLOW POKE.”
A local critic says: “Mr. Patton is in-
deed a peculiar comedian. Pie is often
compared with the late Sol Smith Rus-
sell, frequently with Tim Murphy and oth-
ers of the droll language type, but he is
pretty much alone, however, for he is
just, like himself, and handles his plays
with an ease that is peculiarly his own,
and by presenting such plays as “The
Slow Poke,” he will increase his popular-
ity as long as he continues to make us
visits. To begin with, he writes them
himself, and his manager does not spare
expense to get a good background in the
shape of state settings which are not only
elaborate but appropriate, and the sup-
porting company is excellent. There were
times last night when tears rolled down
Btern faces, when tiny handkerchiefs
found their way to drooping eyelids, and
then, just as the faint flush of shame
at the thought of tears, while real, came
from an unreal scene before them—no, not
unreal, but acted—Patton would surprise
you with something that would change
those tears to glittering, sparling beads
of laughter, and we were once again in
the midst of comedy, rich, rare, rollick-
ing comedy. It was clean and refine 1
throughout and the fun was innocent,
amusing and instructive. It taught a

last season have forgotten the Ispell of
•enchantment thrown over the large au-
dience by this remarkable masterpiece of
Wagner’s genius. That weird and mysti-
fying character, Kundry, more especially,
•excited a series of thrills by its strange
psychological contracts; and all who saw
Miss Keating’s stage creation of the part
were forced to acknowledge -a great
actress and an. intelligent student.
The widely varying moods of Kundry,
resulting from changed spiritual condi-
tions and the subtle changes in the re-
lationship between her will and intellect,
require talent of the highest order to
shade and color them in right contrast.
And the despairing conflict. between an
enfeebled will and the workings of an in-
tellect that enthralls it by sheer force of
false premises and deductions, which ap.
peal to pitiable egoism, presents a prob-
lem so difficult of intelligent expression
by histrionic means that it might well
awe any actress that attempts to solve
it. Without a single exception, Miss
Keating received the praise of critics
everywhere “Parsifal” was seen last sea-
sop, and she brings to her portrayal of
Kundry this year riper knowledge of the
part and. a still clearer vision of its
meaning.
John Lane Connors will be seen again
in the titplar role, and a sterling com-
pany has been jselected by Managers Mar-
tin and Emery. The scenic beauties of
"Parsifal” will eclipse even those of last
year. The famous magic garden within
KiingS'Or Castle, with its astounding
emergence from an interior view of
Klingsor’s room of sorcery,, is pronounced
the ultima Thule of ingenious, mystifying
and ornate stagecraft.
During the "Parsifal” engagement here
the rule of early commencement will be
strictly adhered to. The performance will
begin promptly at 7.45 and conclude at
11.15.4 Late comers cannot be seated until
the conclusion of the first act.
