Frank L. Perley, a theatrical manager, maintains his policy of keeping companies together. The Alice Nielsen Opera Company retained its cast for about three years, and his singing comedians appeared in The Chaperons last season and just finished a summer run in New York. He re engaged nearly every key member from the Broadway engagement, including Walter Jones, Edd Redway, George K. Henery, Albert Farrington and Trixie Friganza, Eva Tanguay, Nellie Follis, Mae Stebbins, May Boley, Katherine Call and Annabelle Gordon.
The de Koven and Smith comic opera Foxy Quiller features a young sailor who must raise two thousand pounds and loses his savings to a kleptomaniac dwarf.

The score blends English folk and Italian lighter themes in a two country production soon at the Grand.
The Grand hosts Yon Yonson on Wednesday September 17 with Nelse Erickson in the title role. Manager P J Kennedy touts the Swedish star as the season's biggest dialect hit and notes the show’s proven drawing power and broad appeal.
