Gardiner," A.D.M. 8., left on Wednesday for an inspec- tion trip through the west of the dis- To-night "Mother Love." A new play by a new author is al- ways interesting for the reason ome never knows when another Pinero, Ibsen, Thomas Fisch or other talents ed dramatist may. be discovered. | Therefore, there is an unusual ausunt of interest attached to the engagement of "Mother Love" at the| Grand to-night. Robert Lawrence, the author, is well known as a stage director and has revised many manuscripts for other dramatists, but "Mother Love" is really his maiden effort as a play- wright. The theme has been used! before in several different plays, per-{ haps the most notable being "The; Greatest Thing in the World," as played by Mrs, Le Moyne several years ago. "Madame X.," "Mother," a play produced by William A. Brady with considerable success, and this season by Hartley Manners in "The Harp of Life," in which Laurette Taylor is appearing in New York. However, the theme is big enough for any number of playwrights, for af- ter all is said and done "Mother Love" is, without doubt, the most beautiful, sublime, self-sacrificing love of which the heart and soul is pable. i - At the Grand. .

Charles Ray, Margery Wilson and Margaret Thompson were seen to advantage in the latest Triang! play, "The Honorable Algy. "Bombs," a 'two part Keystone comedy, with Charles Murray, was a riot of fun and frolic. Other good reels and refined vaudeville, with Miss Nan Madigan in a complete repetoire of new songs, rounded out a well balanced programme of vau- deville and pictures.
