GRAND THEATRE, TO-NIGHT.

The action is laid in a training camp, and concerns the love affair of Miss La Plante, daughter of the cam-p commandant, who is in love with a private. All around her are handsome yoking officers, whom she and the private trick. There are plenty of good comedy situations. Miss La Plante reaches the heights of comedy when she impersonates a private and has to take her place in the ranks of the men in camp. Miss IJa Plante is unusually good in “Finders Keepers,” and h'as a splendid supporting cast including John Harron, Edmund Arthur Rankin, William Gorman, Eddie Phillips and Joe Mack. The film was directed iby Wesley Ruggles. Other films include two News Reels, Oswald 'Cartoon, and iComedy. OPERA HOUSE.
