Show LILLIAN RUSSELL AT THE GRAND TONIGHT. Not since "In Old Kentucky" flashed across tho vision have theatergoers theater-goers seen a racing play of deeper Insight In-sight and of more genuine appeal than the comedy "Wildfire," by Geo. Proadhurst and Geo. V. Hobart. in which Joseph Brooks presents Lmian Russell at the Grand this evening. It is an oddity in that It successfully success-fully mingles the atmoBphero or a beautiful country homo and the realism real-ism of a race track. The novelty of tho theme bridges this seeming chasm. To Lillian Russell goes the full credit for establishing the Ulu-Flons Ulu-Flons that make the play vital. Her work Is refined and artistic and Intensely In-tensely dramatic at one and the samo lime. The play Is faultlessly staged 'and Miss Russell Is given clever support sup-port by a company selected for her by Mr. Brooks. |
