PARK THEATRE
MISS BILLIE BURKE IN THE
MIND THE PAINT GIRL


Miss Billie Burke viii star at the
Park Theatre Wednesday evening,
February. IS. Her play this season
is The Mind the Paint Girl" the
new comedy by Sir Arthur Pinero. in
which she has scored one of her big
gest successes. In this. piece the emf
nent English playwright has under
taken to depict the life of an English
musical comedy star off the stage
how she lives, how she treats her adj
raixers and so on. The heroine of the
story-Ll1ly Parradell-has won fame
by singing just one song mind the
Paints,k Hence the title of the play.
she's complex little character. is
Lily. Generous and mercenary at the
same time, fiery tempered and quick
to repeat se1f-indulgent and yet cap
able of 9e1f-sacridce, refined and. pol
ished on the surface aiiA more than a
bit vulgar underneath. It is the most
human character Miss Burke has been
given to portray and she does 1t with
true characteristic effect In fact, if
the critics in other cities are to be
believed at all, in this play Miss Burke
takes rank as an actress of genuine
and assured power, mott 6kays in the
lighter comedy scenes but also in the
one big emotional scene that is the
climax OF the drama Miss Burke is
always a welcome visitor, but in a
Pfnero play she ought to be particu-
larry wei worth seeing.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
Good Paint.

Nowadays people often remark with
disgust-it is impossible to have good
painting done any more; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters. A good paint Is half the

is the paint to use, made Of pure lead
and linseed oil, analysis on every can.

PAUL ]. RAHIEY'S
AFRICAN HUNT PICTURES

Motion pictures Aave Furnished
much in the way of interesting enter
tainraent to the public in the course
of the past few years, but seldom has
the opportunity been afforded to wit
ness a more remarkable collection
than those which were taken of Paul
]. Rainey's African Hunt to. be shown
at the Park theatre for three days
commencing Monday, March 8.
The wild beasts OF the jungle, the
lion, the elephant, the rIlinoserous. the
giraffe and other animals which make
their home near the equator, seen only
perhaps in captivity or in drawings
are shown in their natural hauntS.
Mr. Rainey's hunting trip in Africa,
the exciting incidents which marked
his search for the wild beasts Of the
jungle right to their very haunts and
the tropics, including many live spe-
cimens Of the denizens of the equator
which he brought back. is. story
that has already been given to the
public There is no nature fakingi in
the motion pictures of. the Rainey
expedition into the Jungle. Neither
is there any posing. The lion is shown
traIIed to his lair by the American
dogs which accompanied the party.
The king of the forest is run to earth
ana actually killed by trained MIssfs-
sippi hounds. Among the most inter-
esting views shown by the motion
pictures, are the animals at the water
hole. The water hole, within ten de-
grees of the equator, furnishes water
to the wild beasts, which make their
way to 1t for hundreds OF miles. Pic
!. lures of the expedition. including the
small army of natives which accom-
panied the party. the many thrilling
escapes of the photographers in their
quest for something out OF the ordi-
nary, are all shown in the, pictures
which can be safely said to be an ex-
traordinary addition to natural sci
ence.
