AiTKEN'S BROS.
It only shows that perseverance
will do; it is an object lesson. The
motto of the Grand is to give the
best and the publi.- will seen find
it cut. The proof lies in the fact
that a crowded hour.e greeted the ap-
pearance of the new faces at- the
Grand. The Aitkens Brothers, her-
alded as the star dancers of Prim-
rose & Docstaders Minstrels, made
good the word of the advance not-
ices. They certainly are dancers of
the first quality. Both the boys are
possessed of clcar, resonant voices,
and the song "Baseball" sung by one
of the brothers was a big hit. The
local squibs and their clever patter
caught the large audience and the
applai^i. proved that the ooys had
made a hit. Val Fernandes was in
good voi. e a her Indian songs im-
mediate! w n her a warm spot in
the hearts of toe audience. The mov-
ing pictures are this week a bunch
of hilarity. B-yce Howatson sang
the illustrate 1 song in his usual
style. 1 he picture of Cossack sol-
dier life is the grandest picture of
the long line that has been shown at
the Grand.

offers some special bargains for J ti-
uay and Saturc ay Last week h>. so'd
int.re meat at iiis special prices than

ple are anxious to buy their goods at

right, and get what they want. For

fers special bargains in oranges, ba-
nanas, lemons, English walnuts, dried
