Roofs don't wear out—they dry out. We use no coal tar in
this roofing because coal tar is of a gaseous origin and natur
ally returns to gas, thus drying out too quickly. Our prop
erfy blended asphalts are the result of a quarter century's experience and tests.
They are not of gaseous origin and dry out
slowly.

J>pecta* to ihe i eicgraph
Newport. PP.. Feb. 23. —Above is a flashlight picture of the brilliant affair on Thursday evoning when
George anil Martha Washington received the members of the Phllomathean Club and their invited guests at the
masked Colonial party given in Rtppman Hall. Progressive old-fashioned games were the order of the evening
with tableaux of "A Colonial Tea Party," "Betsy Ross," "Priscllla at the Spinning Wheel," "Georgo and Martha

CARLISLE ELKS 10
GIVE BRADY'S DREAM
Musical Concoction in Three Acts
Arranged and Staged by
Leo McDonald
Harrieburge.rs are promised a real j
treat In amateur theatricals when the
Carlisle Elks present their musical
comedy, "George Brady's Dream," at
tho Majestic Theater next week. The
production will be given under the
auspices of tho local Elks Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings of next week,
with a bargain matinee on Wednesday
afternoon.
The piece, a musical concoction in
three acts and five scenes, was written,
arranged and staged by Deo McDon
ald. a member of the Majestic Theater
orchestra of this city but a resident of
Carlisle and a member of the Elks in
that city. Mr. McDonald possesses
marked ability in this line and those
who witness the play next week will
wonder why he hasn't made that work
his profession. <
While they have for years been
known as the Carlisle Minstrels, the
play given by the Carlisle amateur
actors is not an old-style minstrel
show, with its semicircle of black-face
jokers and an afterpart of vaudeville
specialties. On the other hand, it is
of the pattern of modern musical
comedy, with elaborate scenery, nearly
a dozen gorgeously gowned "girls,"
numerous interpolated songs and
some lively dancing, as well as three
acts that are chockful of good fun.
It is probably the excellent work of
the Carlisle boys in filling the roles
and clothing of show Kirls that gives
the play its strongest appeal. Ralph
Harris, who makes in Carlisle many
of the fanciest things fhat drape tho
shoulders of Harrisburg society ladies,
put his best efforts into this produc
tion, with the result that the sextet of
"girls" who appear in the last act look
like so many models displaying star
tling effects in advance styles of cos
tyming.
The story of the play runs along
lines that might have been truth if
George Brady had had his way last
year and taken the Carlisle perform
ers on the road, although the second
act. which shows them stranded in the
Par West, could scarcely have come to
pass if the show that Brady wanted to
take out was as good as this one.
There is a moving picture showing the
Carlisle Minstrels boarding a train to
take their departure and the citizens
are out by the hundred waving them
good-by. Then come their experiences
in the West among the tangoing cow
boys and cowgirls, and finally a recep
tion upon their return to Carlisle, ip
which the gorgeous costumes find
place.
The sale of tickets for these per
formances will begin at the Majestic
box office on Friday morning, although
tickets will be sold by Elks all this
week. These Elk tickets will be ex
changeable at the box office on Friday
also, so that all will have the same
chance.

KNUTE AT ORFHKFM
A real George Washington vaude
ville bill comes to the Orpheum to
day headed by Harrisburg's favorite
comedian, Knute Erickson. Mr. Erick
son stars in a pretentious one-act mu
sical comedy with a cast of about
twenty players, the attraction known
as "Daffy Dan and the Seminary
Girls." Of headline importance on
the same bill will be a rattling roller
skating novelty offered by Nick's Six
Roller Skaters. The sextet comprises
a half dozen pretty, clever and_ beau
tifully gowned girls. Then we are to
be treated to a return engagement
of Melville and Higgins, the eccentric
comedy couple, who had all Harris
burg saying "all the time you are
picking on me all the time" and "let it
lay." Since this clever duo appeared
at the Orpheum they have been star
red In a musical comedy. Some other
interesting features will be offered by
W. N. Sisto, the Italian musical come
dian; Emll Hock and company in a
screeching comedy playlet and San
sone and Deliah in new strength tests.

AT THE COLONIAL
"The Tourists," a pleasing musical
comedy thfet is easily the most preten
tious ever seen at the Colonial, will
appear there for the first days
of the week. In the matter Of size
and merit, "The Tourists," will easily
eclipse "Sorority Days" that was very
popular there several weeks ago. This
new attraction is a girlie musical
comedy much on the order of the
Lasky acts and ought to prove a tre
mendous drawing card. On the same
bill will be Princess Suzanne, the doll
midget, and one or two other attrac
tions of merit. —Advertisement.
