8v I I I. 12 mt Wi Mm. The entertainment list evening at Carnegie Library was a fitting climax to what might ap propriately be called Carnegie week. The one theme of conversation during the week was the Carnegie Ljbraty. The people have been fall of the library, and the library has been full of the people from the time the ponderous doors were opened the earlv part of tho week. Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday the art gallery and the enjoyable organ recitals attracted the people at large, and on Friday the ladies interested in theAlle cheny General Hospital took possession of the building, and it became a veritable fairyland. The Rainbow supper room was snggestive of a genuine rainbow from the exquisite harinon tring of colors with which tbe various table! were decorated. The doll room, lemon room and fancy department were all equally attractive, but the music hall at 8 o'clock received the throngs of handsomely attired ladies and een tlemeu, thus making tbe rest of tbe building look like a deserted palace. The programme lor tbe evening was a de lightful one, and tbe fancy dances by the tiny belles was a special feature. The petite dancers were lovely in face and form, and their gowning was simply beautiful, while tbey were all gracefulness personified in their move ments. As the society editress of this paper was en Joying the pretty sight presented by the aggre gation of youthful loveliness, visions of future conqnests for the little beauties floated through her mind. Not long hence and all the bewitch ing little creatures will have attained tbe age and accomplishments necessary to make their debuts into the social world. And when that time arrives Pittsburg will rival any city in tbe United States in social life. Buds and belles will reign over hearts and households. It is Inevitable unless some miracle transforms the charmingly facinating little creatures into ordinary, unprepossessing little mortals, which is highly improbable, that the newspapers will be swamped with society news, and the untir ing efforts of two reporters will be necessary to keep the public informed of the doings of so many bright, Tiracious society girls. .. That looking forward is a digression, how ever. To return to the subject, the entertain ment was continued yesterday. The afternoon and evening was devoted to the sale of fancy articles and the serving of refreshments and supper, while the music hall, at 8 o'clock, seated a fashionable audience to listen to a musical programme that for quality has rarely been ex celled in either city, A thoroughly appreciated pleasure was the performance of Fraulein Aus der One. Her selections were Tarantelle dl Bravura and a Nocturne by Liszt; Rigandon, by Raff: Dance of the Gnomes, by Liszt, and "An Episodic Thought," Weber-Henselt. .Miss Elizabeth Webster and Mrs. W. B. Wolfe, as soprano soloist, with chorases by the 21ozart Club, J. P. AicCollum, director, and then piano playing by Mr. Beveridge Webster and Prof. Carl Ketter, and organ selections by Mr. C. C.

Among those who have delved in the fascl ' bating study of legend, especially such as adorn German literature, many will doubtless feel in terest in the presentation of "Gretchen," W. S. Gilbert's modern paraphrase of the mythical story, "Faust," in which Margaret Mather and her company appear at the Bijou Monday night ' Tbe idea of a modern "Faust" has sug gested itself to numerous writers from Moeller to Reynolds, but none of these masters of the pen summoned up courage enough to make a bid for glory by breaking away from the tradi tional and Immortal fame into which the genius of Marlowe and Goethe bad molded the moving old German legend, before the advent of W. S. Gilbert Gilbert was then under SO years of age. Young men with Gilbert's push are usually Innovators, and Gilbert was one of tbe most vehement representatives of this class. To a mind so fertile in resources as his the idea of an adaptation of "Faust," thoroughly mod ernized and changed to give scope to original ity, was a matter as easy of accomplishment as any ordinary test of the Dlavwiight Discard ing at once tbe clothing in which Goethe had wrapped bis characters, but yet retaining the central ideas and motives, he commenced skil fully to weave a superstructure about the ele mental fires that had given life to the old story, and the recital of which has brought tears to generations of people. Tbe weird old legend lent itself to the change with grace and with all tbe brilliancy characteristic of Gil bert Gilbert was yet a young man when "Gretchen" was written, and the verse through out the libretto shows rugged strength. This play has been termed his greatest bnt it is doubtful if the essence of Goetbe dramatiza tion does not revert to the credit ot the play wright V The new treatment brings into prominence the church, and Faiulut is d'scovered immured in the solemn recesses of a monastery, to which a surfeit of tne things of the world and the love of women have driven him. As a Dominican father the apparently repentant man remains an Inmate of the cloister; but there are indica tions that the life and the man are not in sym pathy. Fauziut, in a fit of delirium, dwells on worldly things, and his attendant fathers get from bis ravings evidences of discontent When charged with inconstantthougbts Juu tus denies his accnsers.bnt to a f nend QotVricd who meets him in the chnrchyard, he reveals the desire to live again. Uoilfrtcdls a warnot, and loves a maiden, Gretchen, whom he de scribes to Fauitut. No longer wedded to tbe church by thought Favttut conceived a strong desire to see a woman such as Gottfried paints, and in a burst of longing for tbe world, invokes the powers of earth, heaven, hell to end his torment and give him the boon he asks. At the first word of invocation, MephUto, in a garb best calculated to deceive, confronts the doubting father and teaches the philosophy of which he Is the incarnation. By the power of bis art MephUto causes to appear before Fatutut the image of Gretchen, wbo passes as a ray of light among the tombs, and, pausing before tbe trembling priest stretches out her arm, as though in dreamy supplication, then bows her bead and disap pears. Fatutut, overcome br the beauty of the apparition, starts forward: Spirit ofpeace divine embodyment Hencefortabethou my faith, be thou my church. Again, dressed in the garb of a citizen, dis carding entirely his priestly garments, tbe misguided man finds his way, under the spell of Mephuto,to a cottage in tbe village in which dwells the maid. Before he gets a sight of her, however, Gottfried arrives, sees Fauttus, and agrees to introduce him to to the girl of whom he has spoken. Tbe Introduction takes place, and Gretchen is placed under Faiutut' guar dianship by Gottfried, who then leaves for the eat of war. After this the play keeps close to the old lines. The talk of new theaters was not ended by Mr. Harry Williams' announcement of his in tentlon to build one. Mr. Edward Jackman, who has just returned from New York, is still sanguine about the transformation of his build ing into a theater. He still thinks that some one will be f onnd to give Pittsburg a new thea ter by September next Mr. Harry Scott, the unmistakably enter prising manager of the World's Museum in Al legheny, said yesterday: On Friday last I made application to the Building Inspector and Ordinance Officer for permission to erect on the vacant space adjoining tbe end of the mu seum on River avenue an Eiffel Tower, whlcn, when completed, will be 300 feet high, with two hydraulic elevators. My Idea is to make it tbe highest point in tbe center pi town, where a reasonable view of the city ban be seen to ad vantage, and in summer an hour of pure, re freshing river valley air can bo obtalred and enjoyed. The tower will have a base of 75 feet square, while tbe top will have 40 sqnare feet Light refreshments will be served at the top, and passengers will be charged by the hour. Only a limited number will be allowed on It at any one time." The idea seems to be a good one, and should be profitable to Mr. Scott V The performance of "The Henrietta" at tbe Grand Opera House this week has been very acceptable to most people. It seems to be gen erally conceded, however, that Mr. Mordaunt's conception of iWcfc Vanalitynt is hardly so in harmony with the character as drawn by Bronson Howard as was Mr. Crane's. There is, as was pointed out in The Dispatch last Tuesday, a warmheartedness about old Nick as Mr. Crane playrhlm, which Mr. Mordaunt does not grasp. Yet Mr. Mordaunt's was a very fine piece of acting, and Mr. Robsoo is to be con gratulated on his good fortune in securing such a colleague. Hspbuen Johns. The Programme. THE return of Margaret Mather for a season of Shakespearean revivals recalls with renewed force the many rumors that have been circulat ing regarding bes during the past fortnight Perhaps no American actress of her years has shared in a like degree the popularity and commendable success that has been so characteristic of her career. There must he something meteoric in the composition of this tragedienne, for she does not seem con tent with those slow .processes out of which emerge the artistic training: for since her debut in Chicago, her course toward success has been marked by remarkable evidence of rapid and spontaneous growth. She came into the Tem ple of Thespis with meteorio suddenness. She conquered by tbe might of ragged genias, un harnessed and untaught Her first appearance was marked by as remarkable an ovation as ever attended tbe debut of an American. This brilliancy and meteorio quality has flashed again during tbe past week, and something may be expected unusual and unique for Margaret Mather next season becomes her own manager and gives as an earnest of her intentions tbe announce ment that she will present complete in all its parts a Parisian production of "Jeanne d'Arc," or "Joan of Arc," in the En glish acceptation. This move on the part of so enterprising and wide-awake a person as Miss Mather was not unlooked for. In one way or another this salf-same actress has suf fered severely at the hands ot managers, aud the precedent which Laugtry established was sufficient to demonstrate the capability of a female manager. Tbe announcements that have been made during the fortnight seem like a voice from the dead, for two years of silence has left the name of Margaret Mather only a histrionic remembrance. Her intention to take the reins in her own hands and push herself again before the public gaze and into the public sympathy is a move in tbe right direction and can bnt result to her great good. During the present engage ment two plays, in which she has never before appeared here in Pittsburg, will be given, in the form of W. S. Gilbert's "Gretchen" and w MmWSmL ffi BUOUTlIEATKB jSjgR iSa Margaret Mather '-jj IdSi GBalTDOPEBA HOUSE..

The 'role is well adapted to her talents and with the novelties to be introduced, will conspire to make It a mem orable performance.- In the first act of this favorite play, a wrestling bout will occur be tween & inml wrestler of renute and Mr. t Charles Welles of the Mather Company. The entire ainietic ciud 01 tne city wienua mj turn out in force to witness the strnggle. Another feature of the week will be tbe Bulwer play, "Ladyot Lyons," which will be presented at Wednesday matinee, upon which occasion Miss Mather will cresent a beautiful souvenir to every lady present This souvenir will consist of a photograph of the artiste and a song writ ten by Eugene Jepsome, and dedicated to Miss Matber, entitled, "Remember or Forget" Tho programme of the week will also include the favorites "Romeo and Juliet" "Leah," and "Tbe Honeymoon." The advance sale has been the largest of the year. From the more legitimate comedy of "The Henrietta," with Stuart Bobson, wo will be transported to tbe livelier comedy of Henry E. Dixey with "Tbe Seven Ages" at the -Grand Opera House Monday night This burletque has been running at the Standard Theater, New York; for the past six months, and will be transplanted here Intact The scenic and gen eral effects are reported to he very grand, and It is reported to be in every way a more brill iant success than even "Adonis" of beloved memory. Dixey's chief bit has been made in the court room scene in the second act His picture of the Justice is humorous, and soon takes the fancy of his audiences. The intro duction of a troupe ot burlesquers in court who had been arrested for playing on Sunday, which they had neglected to advertise as a sa cred concert, was exceedingly effective. The costumes are brought out brilliantly against the somber background of tbe court room. Tbe Judge agrees to discharge the pris oners if they will give a perform ance of his comic opera, whereupon a condensation of a modern comic opera was tbe Clover comedian, is very clever. This is followed by a reproduction almost as clever of Francis Wilson's "Little Peach" song. In this song Dixey is assisted by Cora Tinnle, one of the burlesquers, who gives a spirited imitation of Marie Jansen. The lines on, which the "Seven Ages" is built are laid with clever in genuity. The piece is full of clever possilities, which are more than availed of by clever Dixey. Other bright lights in tho piece are George W. Howard, Herbert Gresbam, George H. Schiller, and the ladles are Marie Williams, Elaine Ellison. Cora Tinnie, Geraldine Mc Cann, Marion Glroux and a host of other nretty girls, who are always to be found in Rice's productions. At Harris' Theater this week "Peck's Bad Boy" will again be seen. "Peck's Bad Boy" is one of tbe best known people in America, and the accounts of the latest escapades from week to week have been eagerly awaited by hosts of people. It was thought by the author, Mr. George W. Peck, that the people who were so mnch Interested in reading about the "Bad Boy" and his tricks upon bis "Pa" and "the Groceryman" would like to sei him. 80 Mr. Peck arranged with Mr. Charles F, Pidgin, of Boston, for a dramatio version ot the "Bad Boy's" pranks. The play was producea, and the result showed that Sir. Peck's reasoning had been correct for the play caught on at once, and Is still holding on. The familiar scenes of the original sketches are reproduced on the stage in a manner so realistio and funny that the sourest misanthrope could not help laughing. Manager Habbt Williams offers Gus Hill's World of Novelties at the Academy of Muslo this week. He has a strong company with him. Among the well-known names in the vaudeville profession that appear on his programme are: C. W. Williams, the Fischer Bros., Billy Carter, Swift and Chase, Mile. Rosina, McBride and Goodrich, Charles Har ris. Miss Nellie Walters, James E. Black, Chip the boy wonder the great Plrrung, and Gus Hill himself. These artists render all the different styles of entertainment usually seen upon the variety stage, with several that are new. A comedy, said to be screamingly funny, will conclude each performance. It Is entitled "The Cyclone Hotel." The sufferings ot the Siberian exiles are a subject of which an American- audience never tires. Mr. George Kennan, the one American who bas probed the mysteries of the great autocracy to its very center, is to lecture in Pittsburg again twice next week, at Old City Hall Tuesday evening, the 18th, and Wednes day evening, the 19th under the auspices ot tbe Press Club. These lectures are unques tionably the best Pittsburg will hear this sea son, and large audiences ought to be assured on both occasions. At the World's Museum an entirely new bill of curiosities and variety performers is offered for this week. Stage Whispers. It is whispered that tbe Kendals will not neg lect Pittsburg next season. Tbey would be highly appreciated here. Colonel McCAtru has engaged Bertha Rlcci to fill the vacancy in bis opera company caused by the secession of Marlon Manola. The first appearance of Emma, V. Bherldan as Mabel Vane in "Masks and Faces," at the Boston Museum, has bean in every way success ful. Mns. Leslie Cabteb is to make her debut on the stage at the Broadway Theater on No vember 10. Her engagement is for two weeks, after which she will make a tour ot the large cities. Henderson company in "The Gondoliers" is said to be packing the Chicago Opera House nightly, and a great deal of ginger and vim has been infused into the opera by the American company. It will come to Pittsburg in March. If the report of the marriage of Miss Minnie Maddern and Mr. Harrison Grey Flske is true both parties are to be congratulated. It is a union ot brains as well as hearts. Mr. Flske is the accomplished editor of the New York nramatio Mirror, and Miss Maddern ought to occupy a very high place among our actresses. That she bas not succeeded as well as she ought Is due entirely to very bad management Helen Datvbat, the wife ot John M. Ward, the baseball player, is on deck again with an announcement that she is going to re turn to tbe stage as a star. This Interesting statement Is accompanied by the Information that she has paid some fabulous sum to Sydney Rosenfeld to write her an original play to be entitled "Tbe Whirlwind." It is hinted that John M. Ward will manage her starring tour. "Paul Kauvab" is said to be one of Steele Mackaye's happiest inspirations, laid In France and written in the French style, with many thrilling scenes and Incidents that add greatly to the effectiveness of the past Joseph Ha worth will bo seen in tbe leading role, and if Mrs. Grundy is to be believed, is a beau ideal hero and plays the part with characteristic ex cellence. "Paul Kauvar" follows Mather at the Bijou. M abie WAcrvTBiGHT has this to say of her plans for tbe future: "I expect to take a New York theater, and have two or three new plays in view, one ot them perhaps, by Bronson How ard. As for the dramatization of George Elliot's "Romola" that I am to produce, I'm not prepared to reveal anything. The drama tization hasn't been written yet I have en gaged nearly all tbe leading members of my present company for next season, and Mr. Magnus will continue as my manager." Ricqabs Golden, in "Old Jed Prouty ot Backsport, Maine," assisted by his clever wife, Dora Wiley, come to tbe "Bljoa shortly. It is said that to thoroughly appreciate it you most recall the delicious aroma of the old-fashioned dining room of tbe Prouty Tavern, and so life like is the play that one almost imagines be can smell the sweet-mown hay and bear tbe lowing of tbe cattle in the meadows.

Mrss Annik Pixlet has been making an earnest effort to break away from tbe toils which held her so long in "M'llss" and "Zara," but her efforts to secure a new play that will suit her particular purposes have not hereto fore been very successful.

Jessop, who has made hit name kndwn to play-goers in tbe past by pieces as widely different as "Saml of Posen"and"A Bottle of Ink."
