Inipdiiynf kiolDtnKUice Mon- I I and we langes at fsave the land see lian the to the The largest audience of the season greeted Mildred Holland and he excellent company in The Lily And The Prince at the Grand Saturday evening, and for the star it was a real triumph'. Nothing hut words of praise could be heaid concerning the play and its presentation. The play is based on occurrences in the Sixteenth during a period of political unrest and the existence of what was then the papal states of Italy.

It deals with love.hute, scandal, plotting and revenge, ending with the overthrow and banishment of the plot ters and justice for the innocent. The storv is well told and portrayed. The audience went to se good acting, and they were not disappointed, for there was plenty of it. Miss Holland was me central character of course, ond she acted the part of Angela with all the subtlety of her art, nutura'ness, sympathy and rare emotional power, contributing to nines her characterization upon the men ost plane. She portrayed the faith fully, showing proper conception anu cIomo study of tho character.

In the second scene of the third act she was specially effective, and was rewarded with repeated curtain calls, and wasaisi presented with a fine floral offering by the Writers' club. The star was ably supported by Edwin G. Caldwell as Silvio IV Orslni. His hearing throughout was that of a master of his art. Bis iwssionate outburst, his impetuosity and demeanor chare cteristic of tt Italian were consummate acting, rtoiiert on nesrs as Prince Colon na played his part as a reckless sort of lance with mucn discretion, and Samuel Lewis as the iluff old father was excellent.

Lillian Norrls, as the nlottlna Duchess of Fer rara, gave a finished interpretation of the part, and her work could not no ira proved. The balance of the cast acted their parts in praiseworthy manner and there were no weak spots. Aotmng prettier or more lavish in the way of lostuming has ever been seen in tnis city, while the scenery and lighting effects were marvels of stagecraft. The setting of the first act with its spraying fountain in the centre was perfect anu pleasing. Tlie members of the Writers' Club were the Rueata of Mi Id ml Holland and Mana ger Walser Saturday evening, and they occupied the noses during Mie perrorm-ance of The Lily And The Prince.

The manager who keeps abreast of the times these days and employs all the lat est facilities In making his presentations is the one who commands the greatest amount of artistic and financial success. Mr. Harry L. Whb, the enterprising manager of the Carner Company, which comes to the Grand this evening for a week in repertoire, is perhaps the most careful manager in tiin theatrical bust ness today. Realizing that the demands of the public could only be met by pro curing the newest and latest successes, he has bent his efforts toward giving the best list of plays and elaborate produc tions ever attempted by any repertoire manager.

Knobs O'i-'ennessee is the opening play, and daily matinees start on Tuesday.

The commission will reassemble. on Tuesday, 8, at 11 oolock. It ls thought that the hearings will last a month. The nonunion men's oase, which was nearly finished before the Scranton sessions were ended, will be concluded inside of three days, the attorneys say.

and the Independents and big operators ngnre on getting through with their testimony in three weeks. The independents will likely be heard first. The operators will devote most of their attention to the introduction and verification and explanation of the statistics, on which they rely for corrobora tlon of their claim that the miners are not underpaid 01 overworked. There will not be much testimony from the operators, except ot general character as to violence durlnrr the strike, as thev believe the commission has been pretty well acquainted through the non-union men's witnesses of what took place in the way of disorder while the strike was on. -x GRAND OPERA MOUSE HENRY WALSER, MANAGER ONE WEEK, COMMENCING, Monday, December 29 Matinee Daily After Monday Mr.

FI TAILORING At SippeJJ Fraternity Muddle Lawyer Graham on Saturday present ed the defense of the Grand Fraternity to the equity proceedings brought against it for a receiver.and answered the charges of two disgruntled members that the of fleers of the order hod mismanaged its affairs and depleted its reserve fund by improper loans, Vi nen the testimony was concluded counsel on both sides agreed to submit their arguments to the court in the form of printed briefs. Frederick Gaston, the president of the Grand Fraternity, at the direction of Lawyer Graham, took the stand to ex plain his connection with the order and the conduct of its affairs from-the time he asoended to the presidency. He said it was net true that the salaries of the officers had been raised three times dur ing the past three years. The alleged in creases in HKU and 1903 he explained were merely the payments of delayed sal aries, due iorlSU'Jand 1900. The money borrowed from the reserve fund was tak en out at the suggestion of Arthur Hun ter, the actuary of the order and the loans were approved by the hoard.

He denied that the reserve fund was serious ly depleted by these loans, and said that the new moneys that have come Into the reserve fund more than equaled the amount borrowed. Under the plan for the repayment- of the loans, $(500 have already been turned over to the reserve fund and SIOUO a month will be paid hack until such time as the entire debt is liquidated. This he thought would take about to more years. In reply to Lawyer Graham, tho wit ness said that the money borrowed from the reserve fund had been legitimately used for building up the Grand Fraternity, opening new territory, running the Home Advocate, the official organ of the order, and to defeat a bill present ed to the Legislature by an association known as the Fraternal Congress, yhis measure was intended to legislate out of existence in every State of the Union all fraternal organ! melon a that could not KiW a of 1H00l) All thp expenses incurred in fighsiog the bill at Harrisburg weje approved by the Gov erning Council.
