DEC. 18 It is generally conceded that Mr Estcon l lias giveu to the stage a very remarkable and wholesome play. When We Were Twenty One comes at the right time. It comes as a wholesome check to decadence and degeneracy. It is sweet as mountain air that has been kissed by the heather, and all the men are brave, sympathetic, honest loyal fellows. They are not ashamed to wear their hearts on sleeves, they do not care how many daws peck at them, so wrote the critic of the New York Herald about the play When We Were Twenty One. which will be presented at the Park Theatre on Friday December, 13. The play requires the most delicate shading and artistic atmosphere. An ordinary company wculd fail to appre ciate the subtilities of Esmond's deli cious writing. This has been carefully guarded against by presenting an or ganization far above the average in l>oinl of dramatic ability. A RAG TIME RECEPTION—MONDAY. The old adage is, "Coming evenls cast their shadows before But here is whe'e it fails. A Rag Time Recep tion casts no shadow. It is just the opposite. It is all sunshine and bright ness.

All special scenery, mechanical and electrical effects are carried and the press of the country is unanimous in saying, that A Rag Time Reception is is "one of the'most beautifully staged productions seen in years. This attrac tion is booked to appear at the Park Theatre, Monday, Dec. 16. Grand Opera House, Pittsburg.
