Tribute to H. Price Weber.

The theatre ut Island Park will omen
July ., when H. Price Webber and a
CAPABLE company will give some first
class entertainments. Mr.. Weber is
now in this city. having just closed a
successful season. The following from
the Richmond (Que.) Times and County
Record of May %, where Mr. Webber
ended his season, will be of interest to
his many friends mere:
1.-The Boston Comedy Co. H. Price
Weber. manager. played to good bust
ness here Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings The following from the pen
of C. III. Parmalee. NJ. p. editor Of the
Waterloo Advertiser. expresses our
opinion of Price Webber. after an ac-
quaintance of % years, exactly: H.
Price Webber'S Comedy Company
played a successful engagement of
three nights here. producing in excel
lent style, THE Gold King rip Van
Wrinkle" and the Hidden Hand be-
fore large and aprreciative audiences.
Mr.. Webber has lost none of his power
or charm as an actor and his popular
ity never grows less. In fact he never
had a warmer reception in Waterloo
than he was accorded this time. AS a
manager. however. he deserves partcu-
lar credit for he always has a good
company and puts on plays the moral
tendencies of which are above criti-
cism. In that way he has done
the stage a good turn and COM
PEELED respect over half Il con-
tineHt. In RIP Van Wrinkle" for
an instance. he uses the closing speech
TO teach a temperance lesson, where
Jefferson's version teaches the con-
trary. AIR. Weber has great help
in his accomplished wife, who plays
under the name of Edwina Gray. She
is not only a conscientious actress of
power and versatility. but woman
whose Christian character and blame
less conduct serve to elevate the stage
aud make her profession respected. AS
usual the Webbers We're supported by a
capable company. They expect TO re-
turn to Waterloo for short engage
ment in the fan 3"
