The New Grand presents a strong bill next week. Beginning Monday and running three nights, with a special New Years matinee, will be presented an interesting melodrama entitled For Her Sake. Something along lines more interesting and of a higher order are found in this melodrama, which deals with life in Russia and Siberia. The drama is under the management of Mr. C. J.
