 The sale of seats for Robert M Sperry's 14th annual offering "qThe Marriage Game" opened at the box office of the Park Theatre with greater activity than has ever been accorded the opening sale of any of the Sperry's plays hereto fore. There were g. large number of orders for blocks of seats taken by clubs, dramatic societies, and theatre parties, as we'll as numerous orders for box seats; which strongly evidences the fact that the. latest production from MT. Sperry's fertile pen is arouslng greater interest than even last years attraction. Whether 1t is Juliet? the vaudeville sensation and queen ot mimics; Ralph Kellard, Broadway g matinee idol; the cast of local favor ites; the well known soloists, or a play by the writer of all former clos ing events. it Is evident that the com bination is meeting with popular ap- proval. It is safe to predict that the Park theatre will fbe packed from dome to doorway all next week with the loyal followers of the annual clos ing. The same popular prices prevail.

PARK THEATRE

The popularity of the Smart Set'' company should receive an additional test at the Park theatre tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening. This noted organization will present a new and original three act musical comedy entitled His Honor the Barber with $. H. Dudley in the principle role. premier negro funmakers in America need no further introduction here In the new piece he will have plenty of opportunity to add to his reputation. He assumes the role of Raspberry Snow, negro who allows his destin- ies to be shaped out by others with disastrous and laughable results The part he considers one of the best of his long and successful career The author of the book is Edwin Hanford while the music and lyrics are the joint work of Messrs. Brymm, Smith and Burris, and they have put their best efforts into the piece with the result that they have turned out a play that is destined to have a long and profitable life. The music is of the lifting. singing kind, while the fun is spontaneous and wholesome The company is composed of sixty peo- pie, including a chorus of the best singers and dancers ever mustered in a similar company.

MT. Olcott is peculiarly the premier Irish actor of this country, probably of the world, for in neither Great Britain nor Aus tralia has he a prototype. His style is of the dashing romantic order and a role of this class, like Barry, would be played by him in an excellent man. ner The author, Rida Johnson Young has caught the spirit of the period wonderfully well and has infused in her story an abundance of the atmos- phere surrounding the types she has so cleverly portrayed The romance has given MT.

At the parish rooms of the New field Methodist Episcopal church last evening a party of 50 workmen who have been employed in various capa- cities on the rebuilding of the struc- ture, sat down to a most enjoyable banquet, served by the ladies of the parish.
 The idea of this substantial testi- monial to the workmen originated with the Rev. G. Whitef1eld Simon son, pastor of the church. Ali of the workmen accepted the invitation and were present, headed by the con- tractor, L. D. Stone. A number of speeches of good fellowship and mutual felicitation were made at the dinner.

If you have sore feet, tired feet, sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet, smelly feet, corns. callouses or bun ions, read what happened to Mrs. Crockett, of Jeffersonville. TIZ DID TT. MT. Crockett says: After the second treatment she walked down. stairs one foot at time. She has not been able to walk downstairs before in past five years, except by stepping down on each step with one foot at time. This is remarkable. Send five more boxes.''
 No mater what ails your feet or what under heaven you have used without getting relief, just use TIE. It's different. It acts right off. It cures sore feet to stay cured. It's the only foot remedy ever made which acts on the principle of drawing out all the poisonous exudations which cause sore feet. Powders and other remedies merely clog up the pores TIZ cleans them out and keeps them clean. You will feel better the first time it's used. Use it a week and you can forget you ever had sore feet. There is nothing on earth that can compare with it. TIZ is for sale at all druggists, 25c per box, or direct, if you wish, from Walter Luther Dodge & Co.,. Chicago, III.
