Redolent with the breath of magnolia and orange blossoms is Lottie Blair Parker's newest play "Under Southern Skies," which Manager Harry Doel Parker will present for an engagement at the Park Theatre on April 10.

The story is told in simple fashion as in this celebrated author's New England Idyl 'Way Down East. ARE YOU A MASON —APRIL 18. At the Park Theatre Saturday April 18 will be presented that immensely clever comedy farce success "Are You A Mason" which is now in the third season of its hilarously funny career.
