Sinco "The City Directory" was last seen here it has been entirely rewritten and new music and specialties havo boon introduced making it practically a new production. It is safe to say a crowded house will greet this attraction to-night at Naylor's. "orn ikihii visitors."

Seven y«ars of uninterrupted popularity is a record which few character sketches have ever attained, yet such is the proud showing of Thomas E. Murray's "Our Irish Visitors," which will bo seen at Naylor's on Tuesday oveniug, and its chances are for seven more years of even greater success than ever. Mr. Murray as "Col. Gilhooley," a bogus lord, is an Irishman true to the life and of the natural and not conventional style, with a make up and stage presence as true to nature as a Blackthorn Htick, and a brogue as sweet and voice as mellow as a drink of genuine poteen. No overdrawn or exaggerated climaxes enter into the composition of "Our Irish Visitors," but fun pure and simple, Irish wit and pathetic humor, form the keynote of its success, and one continued laugh of hearty cnjoymonl is the result nightly. The comedy is clean, refined and now, and Mr. Murray's support i» that of accomplished actors and actresses of more than usual merit. "TIIK OI.I, Ol.O STORY." "The Old, Old Story," which was successfully produced at the Lyceum theater, Now York, by Daniel Frohman's stock company of excellent artists will be seen at Naylor's on next Wednesday evening when our patrons of that lino of excellent comedy will have an opportunity to enjoy an evening of rare pleasure. (r "The Old. Old Story" the Evening Sun s«ys:

Two playwrights made a bid for pub Ho and critic.il favor at the Lyceum theater, "The Old, Old Story," a comedy drama in four acts by Waller C. Bellows and Benjamin F. Roeder, had its first representation on any stage.

It« reception by the audience, which filled the pretty theater, was encouraging and hearty, and, In response to calls, the author* bowed their acknowledgments before the curtain.

The play is written on lines somewhat familiar to modern theater-goers, and the Influence of De Mille and Balasco is apparent in the result. The drama shows in its construction a nice appreciation of the value of situation and climax, and the story is handled with skill and power. The humor is refined.

Pastry Without Butter.

Light, flaky and digestible pie crust and all kinds of

fine pastry can be made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow

der without butter or with one half the usual portion, if pre

ferred, or with a small quantity of lard or other shortening

as desired. Pie crust made in this way is more wholesome

and digestible besides being more economical and easier pre

pared in addition to saving all the butter if desired. One-

third the flour is also dispensed with, and the crust is rolled

that much thinner, the raising qualities of Dr. Price's Powder

swelling it to the requisite thickness. Those who enjoy the

appetizing qualities of the delicious home made pie will

rejoice to know this secret. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only powder

that contains the white of eggs.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.
