Grand. Che Aitkens Brothers, her-
alded m i c- star dancers of Prim-
rose ... > staders Minstrels, made
good the word of the advance not-
ices. They certainly are dancers of
the first quality. Both the boys are
possessed of clear, 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
I applause proved that the ooys had
made a hit. Val Fernandes was in
good voice and her Indian songs im-
mediately won her a warm spot in
the hearts of the audience. The mov-
ing pictures are this week a bunch
of hilarity. Bryce Howatson sang
the illustrated song in his usual
style. The picture of Cossack sol-
dier life is the grandest picture of
the long line that has been shown at
the Grand.
