GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT. iDOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAMME The English comedy "Excess Baggage," which is now at the Grand Theatre, starts out by being frankly an extravaganza. It begins on a note of complete and comical absurdity and maintains the absurdity and comicality right the wa.y through to the very end in a manner which should assure it of its quota of laughs from any type of audience. The protagonists ihi the comedy melange are a general and a lesser officer and, to a considerable extent, detective, all tof w'hom at variou^ stages are forced to assume grotesque disguises and are mistaken either for each other or else for ghosts. A practically dastardly murder which has not really been commdtted completes the-. mix-up. The .trouble starts when Colonel Murgatroyd gets so annoyed with ' General Booster that he hits him over the head, and, thinking him dead, 'places him in a trunk. The second feature is Tom Keene in "Scarlet River."
