"THE ONLY SON" COMES BACK AS FILM
Thomas A. Ross Will be Seen in Screen Vision at the Grand.
One of the prettiest of stage romances and one of the real big dramatic hits of the 1912 New York and Chicago season, "His Only Son," by Winchell Smith, author of "Brewster's Millions," etc., is now a five part motion picture drama, and the original star of the piece, Thomas W. Ross, appears in the role he created. "His Only Son" tells a story of a wayward youth whose sole purpose in life is to spend his father's money.
He is looked upon by his friends as a worthless spendthrift, and the girl he loves will have naught to do with him. There comes a breach in the family, when the father suspects the mother and the son, Tom, sides with the mother, goes wesi with her, becomes a successful manufacturer, and after many struggles, reconciles father and mother, .wins the girl he loves, and all ends happily. "His Only Son," with Mr. Ross in his original role, will be shown at the Grand Monday and Tuesday. "The Only Son" in Its original form was one of the most delightful plays housed at the Grand during the season of 1911-12.
On Wednesday and Thursday the Blograph—Klaw & Brlanger production of a "A Fair Rebel" will be shown with the fourteenth fpisode in "The Million Dollar Mystery." Friday's feature will be "A Gentleman From Mississippi," with Thomas A. Wise in the role created by him in the original drama.
Sous a Goming for One Concert
After twenty-two years of prodigious travel throughout America, Ave tours throughout Europe and one tour around the globe, lasting more than a year, directing his wonderful organization in concert, it might seem that John Philip Sousa would be weary of con-cert-giving and of travel of every sort.
In so far as the concert-giving is concerned, Mr. Sousa does not lag or languish in the least. On the contrary the Sousa concerts—which are distinctive the world over, a type apart from all others—are things of his own creation, ever of pride to himself. He delights in them so long as the people are delighted in them, clamor for more.It is not for pelf alone that Sousa endures the fatigue and delights he knows he is bestowing as audiences break into ringing applause evei*ywhere and demand more. He has often said that the plaudits of a refined audience are, to him, quite as much a source of palatable reward as are the dollars in the box office—albeit the dollars will pay excessive expenses where the plaudits will pay nothing. Sousa loves his work, else he would not endure it. Sousa and his band and special soloists will appear at the Grand next Saturday night in a program of special interest.
"Pink Lady's" Authors Submit "Papa's Boy"
Klaw & Brlanger announce that their next musical comedy production, "Papa's Boy," which is now in rehearsal, will have its premiere shortly in Philadelphia and after a brief engagement there will go to the N9W Amsterdam theatre.

The new operetta's story is from the French farce "Le Fils Surnaturel," by Grenet d'Ancourt and Maurice "Vaucaire. Klaw & Brlanger will make the production of "Papa's Boy" on an elaborate scale and an exceptionally large company will be employed in its interpretation. Prominent In the cast are Frank Lalor, Dorothy Jardon, Frank Doane, Alice Dovey, Fred Walton, Octavia Broske, Jack Henderson, Georgia Harvey, Edna Hunter, Lucille Saunders and others.

Smart Lines From "The Beauty Shop"
Vivian: Doctor, here's another order for a dozen chin straps. Budd: Gosh! We'd have been bankrupt long before this but for those chin straps. The average woman would rather own up to a double* life than to a double chin.
Vivian: Yes, but doctor, that isn't the reason why they sell. Budd: No, I know. They sell because husbands have discovered that women can't talk while they wear them. (Reads letter). Dear doctor, a year ago I bought a dozen of your chin straps for my wife and she died— now, I'm married again. Send me another dozen.
Gladys: Here's another letter. Budd: (Reads letter) Doctor Budd, personal. In sending .my order for a rair restorer you may have made some mistake. It did not help my hair, but yesterday my wife broke a plate and I must tell you that your restorer mended it beautifully. (Aside to Gladys). Say, Gladys put up a thousand bottles of that hair restorer and label it "Dr. Budd's Celebrated Cement." Do it right away.
Gladys: Why there's none left. We put up the last batch and labeled it "Tooth Wash."
Budd: Naughty, naughty. But, hey, that hair restorer makes great ink. I use it all the time. Its wonderful stuff —it will do everything but restore hair.

Then I reserved a lot for my son and daughter, and now we are building a dnug little cotcoge on It and they expect to move in before another month comes around.
One of my best friends, Helnl, the florist, seeing how things were going, Jumped In and bought a couple of lots and decided to build a residence on them. That next day, others hearing about it, six more lots were sold to people who just oame and picked out for themselves the lot they wanted and paid their $2 down.

As president of this Davis Gardens enterprise, I have become more and more enthusiastic ever this lot selling end of It than anything I have had to do with in many a day. The more I have had to do with it the more I wanted to do for it. All of which accounts for my giving orders to put down at our own expense, cement walks on every street in the entire tract. Also to erect those beautiful Grecian electric lights on all streets and to agree to furnish electricity for them the first year entirely free.
I have had the painful experience of buying lots at a good bargain price, such as these St Davis Gardens, and then in a year or two have to pay out a good chunk of cold cash for assessments to pay for cement walks and electric lighting. I have also seen the taxes Jump. So when our company decided to sell a certain number the lota surrounding our glass enclosed gardens it was decided to make them as free as possible from assessments and to pay all taxes on them two years and al^" make them entirely free from Interest.
