THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,' FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1890. GENIUS OB THE STAGE Sheridan's Rivals Presented by Jef ferson, Florence and Mrs. Drew IS THE MOST ARTISTIC HAMER. The Players Arrive Late, but a Large Audi ence Greets Them Warmly. A GREAT IN DETAIL PEnFOKllASCE The 'world will neTer cease wondering how a young man of but 24 contrived to write "The Rivals," a comedy which for unity, broad, humorous incident and spark ling wit has never been excelled, unless it be in some regards by the same author's "School for ScandaL" Yet Richard Brins ley Butler Sheridan to give him his full name was but in his 24th year when "The Rivals" was given lor the first time in Covent Garden Theater, London, on Janu ary 17, 1775. It is a remarkable fact that "The Rivals" has never lost its original popularity, but rather on the contrary seems to win more admirers as time pro ceeds. On the occasion of its first presenta tion the play did not achieve instant ap proval. It was too long although Mr. Sheridan had, with the help of Mr. Harris, manager of Covent Garden Theater, curtailed it greatly before its production. For this reason, and because Mr. Lee played Sir Lucius 0' Trigger very unsatisfactorily, the firit performance of the play excited no enthusiasm. Although Sherid an at tributed the rather cool re ception of "The Rivals" to the machinations of a hostile clique of small critics and others, he cut off many of the remaining ei c rescenc e s . brought the play cown to the customary com edy length, and Clinch, the fa mous comedian. bloodshed. It is a great performance a su perbly humorous one. It is not because we consider her least that we take Mrs. Drew into consideration last of the triumvirate, but that the praise that must be bestowed on her might gain warmth by keeping. Mrs. Halaprop, the old lady who so nicely "deranges her eoi taphs,'1 and put such store by "ineflectual learning," has A PEEFECT DELINEATION in Mrs. John Drew. She, too, seems to have stepped out of some eighteenth cen tury picture frame and brought the affecta tion, the ceremonious bows, the very voice of our great grandmothers with her. Not a single cne of those awful blunders in language which Sheridan has given to Mrs. Halaprop does Mrs. John Drew waste or fritter. Each familiar misstep tries one into unurged laughter. The interview be tween Captain Absolute and Mrs. Malaprop is the lunniest no, it is one of the funniest of all the laughable things that "The Rivals" with such Interpreters affords. m mMy, immm BMt) rjtC'' SIR.

Viola Allen Lucy Agnes Miller It is lucky that the modern acting edition of the play is very much shorter than the original, or some of our readers might still be sittiug in the Grand Opera House and laughing, without breakfast. Throusrh an unfortunate failure to make connections on the journey from Cincinnati to this city, the Jefferson-Florence Company did not reach the city till about 9 o'clock, and the curtain did not rie upon the play till a minute be fore 10. During the long wait the audience was entertained by the orchestra, which worked very hard. Most of the audi ence stayed" and gave Mr. Jefferson A WARM 'WELCOME when he came before the curtain in his traveling dress and "all out of breath," apologized for the delay. But it was trorth waiting two hou rs aye, and as many years to see such a perform ance ot "The Rivals." The Bob Acres of Joseph Jeffer son is not a new creation ot his. Pittsburg, we believe, though not in recent years, has seen him as the mild-spirited country gentle man following town ways be fore; and ad mired him im mensely in the part But it is reasonable to believe thatMr. Jeflerson.likea diamond of the first water, i s the better for being beauti fully set,among other jewels. Florenc at CfTrigger. There is not a great variety of emo tions in Bob Acres for inttpretation : the character is a superb satire upon weak hu man nature, full of amiable conceit, blind to his own faults, and void of aggressive ness in any form. Bob Acres' rural color, his newly adopted foppishness, the struggle incessantly in progress in his mind between vanity and rank cowardice in fact, the characterin all its subtle details is em bodied, pictured and projected upon the stage by Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson, we dare to think, makes more of Icres than Sheridan put in him. THE DTJEL SCENE is the most broadly humorous episode but the quieter comedy of Jefferson's in the earlier scenes is even more delicious to us. The character of Sir Lucius O' Trigger is ol course meant to contrast with Bob Acres most strongly, but the contrast never conld have been made more absolute than Mr. Florence as the fire-eating, rollicking Irish man, contrives it shall be. The turn of Mr. Florence's tongue for the brogue is an an cient accomplishment of his faith, he must have been born with it. His make-up as does Mr. Jefferson's makes one think of Reynold's picture, the Colva Tree, Dr. Johnson, and the days when George the Third was King. One would swear Mr. Florence had worn small clothes and a wig all his days, and that his hand wai, as accustomed to the hilt ol a sword as it is to the butt of a fishing pole. AVe do not know whether to admire Mr. Florence most in his delightfnljflirtation with Lucy or dic- fating the challenge to Acres, or nmn th field of honor, doing his best to promote j Luckily all these three pre-eminently shone, the company as a whole showed full capability to make the play a well painted picture as a whole. None of the characters were out of drawing and no obtrusive ambition in a minor actor marred the perspective of the scene. Mr. Frederick Paulding was admirable as Cap tain Absolute, and the young soldier's father Sir Anthony was strongly and most care fully placed by Kdwin Varrey. Miss Viola Allen was as romantic and nrettv and very spontaneous in her moods as Lydia Languish could well be. The David ot Mr. Denham showed what pains and study, coupled with native ability, can do for a small character. The costumes were very handsome. The audience was a very large and repre sentative one. WHY MET CAME LATE. The company had many vicissitudes on their trip. They left Cincinnati at 11 o'clock. Pittsburg time, Wednesday nieht, via the "Nypano" road. Their special'car was at tached to train No. 12, which arrives in Youngstown at 11:40 and Pittsburg at 1:30 in the afternoon. The train was delayed by the heavy snow, which drifted in many places along the road three or four feet deep. The tram was abandoned on the "Nypano" between Cincinnati and Youngstown, and when turned over to the Lake Erie it was about seven hours late. The special car was attached to train No. 20, which should have arrived at 8:55, city time. It was a few min utes late. As soon as the train arrived at the South side depot the company of 15 people were hurriedly bundled into two omnibuses and driven to the playhouse. Their car will be sent to Homestead, there to be transferred to the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road and run over their tracks to the Union sta tion. The company will leave Sunday morning for New York via the Pennsylvania Railroad. NOT WITHOUT PARALLEL. Judge While's Decision In tbo Itllnnlck Cnso Recalls Another. Some people seem to thiufc the incarceration of W. J. Minnick, of Braddock, stands alone in its character in this county, but such is not the case, and it is supposed to be possible that other people have been committed to that insti tution with as little reason, but it Is a difficult matter to determine what is best to be done in all cases, as not many years ago a man named Moore was released whom Dr. Reed believed to be wrongly detained, and the subject a few weeks after cut his throat, thus vindicating the judgment of those who had him committed. Minnick's case recalls one containing coinci dences. It isNo. 408 Jnlyterm, 1SS2. Charles A. O'lJrlen, Esq. had Hannah Jones broufht from Dixmont on a writ of habeas corpus. It was alleged that she had been committed at the Instance of some relatives whowished to secure her money. Judge White heard testimony and viKMiuui iu uic juanur anu at 113 conclusion ordered the woman's discharge. Three points of resemblance are pointed out in the two cases.

Hence the success which has followed our efforts to please the people. Besides the bargains which we have already published both in high and medium grades of Shoes, there are others which we can quote every day in the week if so disposed. With an immense stock to rely upon our means to gratify all tastes is inexhaustible, and we take pleasure in leading the mind into new channels of thought on the all-important sub ject of Footwear. Naturally one will buy where the greatest real value is triven.and we desire you to think this over. We mean where the best goods for the money are sold. Prices are somewhat confusing unless you know the value of the goods. After you see them, handle them and give them every turn that close scrutiny would suggest, we have no fear for the re sult When we say that a bargain exists in a certain line of goods, re member we have digested the subject well; it would be folly to throw out some worthless things, calling them by misleading names and putting on a price which seems cheap that is, way down in figures, but not cheap in reality. Understanding the value ot goods, we never issue a bargain that has not been fully considered in our judgment to mean that the buyer can gain a decided advantage in purchasing it. Shoes at regular prices vary but little, except when the market affects changes by rapid fluctuations. When these regular prices, then, are cut for some specific purpose, as for example our enlargement sale, this means that we are happy to give the public a chance at that particular time r.-ithpr than move our goods that the contractor's work may not be impeded. This explains why, at a juncture like the present, we are willing and able to make bargains all along the line and move our goods at a liberal dis count right where they are needed. As an illustration we quote two only of the many bargains offered which, mind you, is a continuation of our bargain sale talk: A GENTLEMAN'S FINE CALF WELT SHOE, either in Bal., But ton or Congress, all styles of lasts, finished in good taste, a shoe which we warrant, at $2.90.

A LADIES' FINE FRENCH DONGOLA, hand-turned or hand sewed, Common Sense and Opera lasts, all widths, warranted in every particular, at the ridiculously low price of 2.90. This is a regular 4 Shoe, upon which you make a clean saving of 1.10. A saving can be effected on all other goods in every department in this great enlargement sale.
