1»ABK THEATRE.
Mrs. Belle Theadore will soon cele
brate her tenth anniversary as a mem
ber of the "Shore Acres" company. Her
performance of Ann Berry is known all
over the country and she certainly looks
and acts the New England housewife as
no other actress could Mrs. Theadore's
only complaint is that the smell of tur
key disagrees with her and the turkey
dinner scene in "Shore Acres" aLvays
gives her the blues. Whenever this
lady is invited to dinner by her many
friends throughout the country she al
ways stipulates that there shall be no
turkey.
CAUGHT IN THE WEB—THURSDAY,
FEB. 27.
"Caught in the Web" is a model for
boys and young men, teaching them
how by self-reliance, courage and man
liness they can bring out a class of
wrong, and it will assist the youth to be
honest and upright. The vice and wick
edness does not pay, as is shown clearly
in this play, and that alone is sufficient
recommendation for it's power of good.
THE RAMBLEES—SATURDAY, MAR. Ist
Tbe coining of The Ramblers Gigantic
Extravaganza to the Park will doubt
less prove a welcome announcement to
the patrons of Manager Burckhalter's
popular playhouse. ' The Ramblers,"
while possessing all the snap and ginger
of the burlesque show, as well as a mul
titude of fascinating and pretty girls,
differs from the other only in the fact
that all its people are principals, and
the stage, during their performance, is
always held by some star entertainer.
The performance is upon an entirely
aew plan embracing a spectacular first
part, a rollicking laugh provokiug farce
comedy, a colossal burlesque entitled
"A Swell Affair" and lastly the reign
ing fad vaudeville
COMEDY COMPANY—ALL NEXT WEEK
Conroy. Mack & Edwards' Comedians,
one of the leading repertoire organiza
tions of this country, have by special
arrangement been secured to play at the
Park Theatre, all next week, and will
doubtless prove the banner attraction of
the season. This Company presents
only tbe latest successes, and their rep
ertoire includes such royalty produc
tions as The Dangers of New York, In
Old Virginia, The Deserter, On the
Mobile, Iu Indiana, A Daughter of
Cuba, All for Gold, and The Diamond
King. A novel feature, and one which
was first introduced by this company, is
that of presenting high-class specialties
between the acts,and a number of prom
inent vaudeville artists are engaged for
this portion of the entertainment alone,
making it really two shows combined
in one, and one grand continuous per
formance. Notwithstanding the enorm
ous expense the prices will be reduced
to 10, 20 and 30 cents, no higher. Ladies
will be admitted to the best seats the
opening night for 15 cents by securing
tickets in advance.
Grand Opera House, Pittsburg.
Anthony Hope's delightful romantic
comedy-drama, entitled "The Adven
ture of Lady Ursula," will be presented
by the Grand Opera House Stock Com
pany in Pittsbnrg week beginning Mar.
3d. Anthony Hope is among the most
clever of the better known English nov
elists. The dash and glamour and
swashbuckling atmosphere of his "Zen
da" romances are not to be compared
to this quality of vivacious dialogue and
sparkling wit that characterize his
quietly humorous episodes, such as
"The Adventure of Lady Ursula" com
bines.
Pittsburg Orchestra.
The resumption of the Pittsburg Or
chestra concerts this week Friday even
ing and Saturday afternoon will be wel
comed. With these concerts only four
sets remain to be given this season and
it may be said that the attractiveness of
these will increase as they fall in turn.

Butler, Pa
Dear Sir: A painter wants to know
what his paint is made of. That's all
right; he's welcome.
Devoe is white-lead and white-zinc
ground together in linseed oil There
is nothing else in it, but color and tur
pentine dryer. Onr agent in your town
has the official State Chemist's certifi
cate of analysis certifying to that effect.
It is the zinc and the grinding that
make it wear twice as lonir as lead and
oil mixed by hand.
Yours truly,
