the press of all the cities praise the
merits of this company in the highest
terms. The Park Company played
Tampa, Fla., for 4 weeks, Miami 4
weeks, Palm Beach 2 weeks, and one
week in all the prominent cities in
Georgia and Florida.
The Park Co. is not/ an ordinary
tent show. Their canvas pavilion is
not only the largest but the best
equipped canvas theatre on the road
Lighted by electricity, comfortable
folding chairs for the reserved seats.
A very- large stage and the finest
scenery ever produced under canvas.
They have 36 separate and distinct
sets of scenery and the stage setting
is a creation of novelties. When you
are once inside this mammoth tent
you can hardly realize that you are
not in a modern theatre.
Every production is replete with
special scenery-, stage effects, geor
geous costumes, electrical and me¬
chanical ^ effects and appropriate
music.
If you are a lover of high class
drama do not fail to visit the Park
Big Tent, located on the base ball
