PARK THBATBK.
WHEN WE WEHE TWENTY-ONE—
FRIDAY. 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. In fact, it is a cyclone of merri
ment and'laughter from start to finish.
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.
Very few plays produced on the
American stage in the last twenty-five
years have maintained the same degree
of popularity from a box office view
point, that has attemleityhe long career
of Mrs. Henry Woods' dramatized novel
East Lynne, which the Grand Opera
House stock company in Pittsburg will
produce the week beginning Monday,
December 16th.
Never before in th 6 history of Pitts
burg theatricals has such an interest
been manifest in a theatrical perfor
mance as that which attends the forth
coming Christmas Pantomime at the
Grand Opera House, on Monday Dec
ember 23rd.

MORE MEN ARE LEARNING
everj day that its better to
pay a little more for clothes
made to measure than to
try to save a few dollars, .
simply because the few
thereby saved sacrifices the.
value of the clothes. It is
impossible to chtapen the
workmanship of g-10 Icl thes
without destroying their
value.
