knowledge, how it compared witl:
another paint they knew all about - il

good.
They painted the house of W B Mi;

that Olher paint 10 gallons. Different-.
|7 for paint, *i:i for labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an
excellent paint, and has a good deal ol
local goodwill.
But the standard of paint has beei
low all through the southwent. Thai
paint is thin, it is, you see, nix tenths of
a paint. Devoe saves S2O over it on
half a small job.
It is a case of local best comparer

MAJESTIC THEATRE.
Her Only Sin —Monday, Sept. 17.
Lincoln J. Carter's original Criterion
Theatre (Chicago) production of his own
powerful drama, "Her Only Sin' comes
to Majestic Theater on the night of
Monday. September 17th. This play is
now in its third successful season and
possibly may go out for several more
before it is finally put into stock houses
and leased out to reputable repertoire
companies. In this story, Mr. Carter
has brought all his faculties together
to make it one of the strong dramatic
productions to last not only for its
initial season but for many more to
come.
The Pit Frjilay, September ill,
Wm A. Brady's big company will
play a brief engagement in The Pit"
at Majestic Theater. Friday. Sept. 21st.
'"The Pit" is one of the greatest suc
cesses that the American stage has
known for many years. It is a power
ful story of active American life—the
fictitious narative of a "deal" in the
Chicago wheat pit. The social exist
ence, the gambling in stocks and pro
duce. the characteristic life of Chicago,
form the background for an exceeding
ly vigorous and human tale of modern
life and love.
