AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

THE GRAND,

The excellence of the new programme presented at the Grand Theatre to-day will be sure to attract full houses. The star feature is the stirring military spectacle, "Those Without -Sin," with Blanche Sweet in the leading role. Melanie Landry is betrothed to Lieutenant -Bob" Wallace, and at a ball Henry Mallon is introduced to Melanie. The girl's beauty attracts the baser passions of Mallon, and by a series of schemes he manages to have her placed in an embarrassing position. This leads to his being tarred and feathered. The end of the story is powerfully dramatic. The supporting programme includes another big star in Fox's 5-act drama, "The Family Stain," based on Emile Gaborian's (celebrated story, "The Widow Le Rouge." The topical travel and comedy films are excellent subjects.
