In the principal comedy role, Hans Wagner, a Cincinnati brewer, Jess Dandy combines a personality that exudes humor with an innate swireciation of comedy, so pointedly expressed by voice, look and atetlon that he evokes almost the extrwne limit of merriment* Eda von

Trouper

Jess Dandy, who will be seen in his old role of Hans Wla^ner, in The Iprtnce of Pflsen" at the Grand this 'afternoon and tonight, is accomplished in more ways than one. For instance he Is a master of sleight-of-hand. There is scarcely a palming 'trick known that he is not familiar with. In his yotmger days he was assistant to one of the most noted magician* of the time but learned the tricks so rapidly that he lost his poeition. He then took up the study of medicine and in a few years was admitted to practice. He gave up this calling to become a traveling man and told so many good stories on the road that he decided to go upon the stage and get paid for his stories. When

engaged for The Prince of Pilsen" more than ten years ago, he was doing a monologue on the vaudeville etage.

Of?s Harlan Retires From Regular Stage

After a distinguished career in the spoken drama, extending from 1888, Otis Harlan has announced his permanent retirement from the stage. Heroafter, Mr. Harlan expects to devote his talents exclusively to motion picture work. He will shortly make his Initial bow to picture fans in the Selig red seal play, "A Black Sheep."

Harlan has had a notable career on the legitimate stage. He has starred in roost of the Hoyt comedies, both at home and abroad, and has acted as .principal funmaker for such stars as Anna Held, Ethel Levy, Elsie Janis, Thomas Q. Seabrook, and others. He also staged the original production of "Baby Mine." He aided in the organiition and was prominently identified tth the Bijou circuit for years, and reputed to be among the wealthiest fff American actors.

Theatrical Chit-Chat By Mique O'Brien

It is rather early in the theatrical season to be making predictions. It would seem that while prosperity is at hand some of us don't appear to realize we are entirely rrounded by wealth that just needs tapping to ooze out in a continuous flow. Recently our theatregoers have snown a disinclination to pay twenty cents to see the best photoplays that are being made,: whereas in the larger cities two dollars is sisked Mlttl'ic O'BR

that include Keystone comedies. Yes, I wrote it so—Keystone comedies. Manager Less, of the American, will see if he can get fifteen cents for "The Eternal City," one of the sensations ot the season in New York, where it was presented at high prices of admission and Charley Smith of the Grand will offer a Fox film with Theda Bara at ten cents—sureiy a wonderful bargain. Miss Bara Is the best advertised woman in pictures today. Vampire women are blamed for breaking up homes all over the country and the women folks are wearing their hair Bara fashion and copying the actress in make up, walk and attire.. If you see a giddy creature writhing alontj like a snake and making goo-goo eyes, you may be sure she has seen the Fox star.

A line on the inclinations of theatregoers around this section may be gotten at the Grand this afternoon and tonight when "The Prince of Pilsen" will be presented by what seems to be a very strong cast headed by that droll comedian, Jess Dandy. If you don't recognize some of the other names It is because you haven't kefpt in toush with recent light musical successes, not all of which reach Terre Haute. The company that is with us today goes to the Auditorium, Chicago, for a three weeks run, beginning October 10th.

HIMSELF AGAIN

Plays a White Man In "The Bagged

t&fossenp?," Due At tto Grand

Saturday,

Word lias get around that Walker Whiteside, Who numbers his followers by thousands in this region through his performances In "The Melting Pot" and Other successes, has added to his list of triumphs la his new play, "The Ragged Messenger," which comes to the Grand for tWct performances next Saturday,

In the part Of John Morton, Mr. Whiteside has contributed another memorable characterization to the American Stage. Morton is a young enthusiast who leaves the confines of the church to get closer to the masses in Lohdon's slums. While he Is delivering from street corners the message Which inspires him, he encounters a girl,'who appeals to him for help.

He takes her to aristocratic friends who have promised to aid him in his work and asks them to make a home for her. They regard this as an intrusion upon the sanctity of their home and Morton, to make amends to the girl, asks her to marry him. it is on this scene that word comes telling Morton he has inherited millions from a remote cousin. But none of the money is used for his own needs, it is all devoted to the good of the poor among whom he has labored. His wife, foiled in her ambition to shine socially and live In luxury, grows bitter. She revenges herself on Morton by dishonoring herself, and the money which proves such a blessing to others in his hands, destroys his own happiness.

Mr. Whiteside is supported by a distinguished cast and the play is elaborately mounted, showing glimpses in London of fashionable drawing rooms in Mayfair, and the misery of the Whitechapel district,

The role of the girl, Mary Ainslelgh, is filled by Lilian Cavanagh, a recent acquisition from the English Stage. Miss Cavanagh has the beauty and vivacity of her Irish forebears and has enjoyed the training of association with Sir Herbert Tree, Miss Harriman, Marie Tempest, and other leaders of the English stage.
