William A Brady offers A1 Leach and the Three Rosebuds supported by an excellent, company of forty girls and five men, the best of tuneful music, graceful dancing and novel effects throughout. The scenery and costumes are beautiful and taking all in all the bit? production of "Girls Will He Girls" is worth the enormous expenditure that Mr. Brady made to bring it out. Among the newcomers that "Girls Will be Girls" will introduce this season, is Miss Maude Gray, one of the Three Rosebuds. She was discovered by Mr. Brady last sesaon. and her beauty and rare soprano voice have already made her reputation and caused Mr. Brady to congratulate himself on the "find." The other Rosebuds, Aileen Flavon and Christine Cook are also excellent vocalists and that is a qualification that ail the members of the company possess. The music is catchy and after one or two performances of tin"Girls" many pianos will be playing the airs written by Joseph Hart.

Dear Sir: It's an old saying: the best advertisement is a pleased customer.It happens to us continually in tills way: A man buys Devoe for his house—he has painted It onee In three year for a dog's-age, and thinks he knows what he wants—buys 30 gallons, and has Id left. Ho sees right-off that 2(1 Devoe Is as much as SO of anything else. He likes that; it comes quick; it Is a surprise; and he (ells of It. The best advertisement is a pleased customer.Your truly, Three years roll round. There Isn't a slun that his house needs paint; he don't paint It. Next year he don't paint It Tills comes slow; it Is a surprise; but he has got used to It. Still the best advertisement Is a pleased customer. P. S. Robinson Hardware Company sells our paint. F. W. DEVOE & CO. An Easy Mark. - ♦ —A large audience was attracted to the Jefferson Theatre last Friday night by the appearance of "The Wizard of Oz" company. It is said that this company, next to the "Isle of Bong Bong" company, carries the largest pay roll and expense account of any similar attraction seen here this season. There will be none to dispute the probability of this statement as far as the costumes, scenic effects and stage settings were concerned, but when the matter of talent Is spoken of there will be found many who were present Friday night who may be pardoned for snickering a bit at this statement. The company, barring Mr. Hock, who outscarecrowed a scarecrow, and Miss Violet McMlllen, as the Kansas girl, was not up to the standard of a high priced attraction. The Wizard of Oz company came here highly recommended by the press of the country and the company mny have given satisfaction elsewhere, but It failed to make good here, excepting with those who make use of their eyes only while attending a theatrical production. "How do you expect It would have reached town If It had stayed on the bridge?" rejoined Mr. Jordan as he ambled down the front steps onto the pavement. "Did you hear about the B., R. P. morning flyer leaving the bridge at the curve above town?" inquired James B. Jordan, of the office devil yesterday morning. "Nope," answered the O.
