; "With Marie "Wainwriglit, the Exposition,
y shoppins tours, drives and little informal
i teas the week has been quite a gay one.
Everything begins to look decidedlv win
try, the promenades are filled with ladies
arrayed in the new plaids and wearing fur
capes or coats and eentleraen walkinc
briskly with topcoats buttoned up snugly,
while the cheery grate fires that glimmer
through the prettily-draped windows in the
evenincs invite the allegiance that has been
paid so faithfully for some months past to
the verandas and tennis courts.
The dawn of the new season pressages joy
and mirth for the social world, and innumer
able conquests for those on conquest intent.
And to make doubly certain of her victory,
what do you suppose the society belle is
studying up? Xotning more or less than
the dangerous science of hypnotism.
Prrparirc for the Cnninaisn.
Xot content with the vantage ground she
already possesses by reason ot her own
charming personality, her bright eyes, pearly
teeth and wavy hair sue will intensify her
power bv a more or less thorough knowl
edge of hypnotism. It is a fact that ever so
many of the charming creatures are reading
upon the new fad, and "practicing just a
bit, you know." on whatever subject may
come handy.
fe Some of them have thus early in the lray
become quite expert with the serpent power
of their pretty eyes, and the victim is pow
erless as long as the fair tyrant desires to
liold him uuder the spell. He is an alject
slave for the time being, carries packages,
umbrellas and shopping bags, buys candies,
soda water and peaches, orders theater
tickets, flowers and carriages, regardless of
his bauk account or absence of one.
It' Going tobc Scrlou.
All this they are capjll.'. of compelling
the gay gallants to do now, and when their
power is more fully developed proposals
will come at will. Think ol it and weep,
young man, at the fate in store tor you, for
according to the old formula inthejirith
metic if one maiden can accomplish so
much by the use ot her eyes, three maidens
can accomplish three times as much.
And just imagine three or even more of the
lair ones Living siege to your pocketbook
and heart at different times and places, and
yonr being powerless to resist responding to
all of them.
"What a chaotic life you will lead, mar
ried men and all, though I understand the
benedicts are to be exempt from the intense,
glance that is to result in a proposal onl'ie
spot, but cot from the bonbon Mtack.
Oh! no. . ThoexEiBbanch.

gagement; and it Is gratifying' to know that
Pittsburg's appreciation or Shakespearean
drama proporly presented was expressed warm
ly in dollars and cents. Nothimr can very well
be added to the praise which THE Dispatch
bas-ilready bestowed upon the entire company.
Miss Wainwright's plans for next season' look
to the production of a historical drama, tbe
name of which her managers-are nor ready to
reveal. It will be set upon the stage in the
magnificent style which characterizes Twelfth
Night."

Dion Boucicault'8 death, old man as he was,
is a big blow to the drama. He stood head and
shoulders above bis cotemporarles on both
sides of the Atlantic as a practical play-maker.
His Knowledge otthe technique of his art was
most profound! Several of bis plays will' live
beyond all question for a long time, it not for
ever. "London Assurance," written when he
was but. 18, and "The Shaugbraun," are, I
thiuk, the most likely to enjoy a very long life.
Boucicault played at tbe Bijou Theater the
season before last In "The Shanghrauu" and
"The Flirt," tho latter a clever comedy and one
of his latest works. Pittsburg audiences were
surprised arhis juvenility and histrionic fire.
Although ho was 63 be played the boyish
characters in both pieces with wonderful-dash.
That was about his last appearance' upon the
stage. Since then ho has written two or three
plays,, many matrazine articles, and taught
regularly in the Madison Square Theater Dra
matic School, which, was a pot hobby of his.
Tho last play which was produced was "The
Tale of a Coat." which Sob Smith Russell pre
sented at Daly's Theater for the first time only a
few weeks ago, and it has been announced that
he-was engaged with Bret Harto in writing an
other, to be called "The Luck of Roaring
Camp," founded on tbe familiar story ot the
same name by Sir. Harte.
V
The life of Dion Boucicault is not all pretty
reading, but there is much that is edifying and
interestingjn a glimpse of his life which he
gave In bis awn words once, as follows: "My
first piece was 'Napoleon's Old Guard,' my sec
ond the farce of 'A Lover by Proxy,' and if
yon need to learn-that God helps those-who
help themselves, take a lesson from me.
Mathews was then In power, and to him I sub
mitted tho farce, which he promised to read. I
called on him several times, but of course did
not succeed In gettingan audience. Finally I
caugbrhlnrdralng" and was" admitted to his
presence. "Ah, yonng man,'1 he said, 'you wish
to know my verdict on your farceT Iris promis
ing, in fact, clever; but! cannot produce it at
present, for my time is filled up. However, if
you care to leave it, I'll see what can be done
hereafter. There are good' points
in Harry Lawless. If I had a part like
that in afive-act play. I'd jump atit.' Well. I
knew that Mathews bad not tbe remotest idea
of bringing out my farce, bu I saw light in his
remark regarding a five-act play. I wenthome
and began 'London Assurance.' and in six
weeks completed it. This was in March. I&il,
at tbo age of IS. Again I went to Mathews
and showed him the comedy. 'But I ordered
no comedy,' ho exolaimcd. 'I am aware of
that,' I replied. 'Yon did say, however; that if
you bad a part like Harry. Lawless in a five-act
comedy you'd jump at it, I've written such a
character for you.' 'What!' lie cried, 'do you
mean to say you've written a five-act comedy
in six weeks, on my suggestion?' 'Yes-. My
perseverance so astounded Mathews that his
Indifference turned to interest. He read 'Lon
don Assurance,' accepted it, and when I read it
to the actors of Convent Garden, Madam
Nestrlswas so pleased" that Bho came to me,
sajlng: 'Whatever may be the public verdict,
we f eul euro that you have written a great
comedy "
V
Evans & Hoey soein to have a gold mine still
In "A Parloi Match," It is now being played
for the first time at a Broadway Theater m
New York. With it new famishment of songs
and specialties the veteran farce-comedy Is
drawing so well that it will stay at the Park
Theater till late in October at least. Clara
Thropp is the new innocent Kida and the New
York papers say she is good. There is also a
new trio of English dancers and other new
features. When Charles Evans and William
Hoev. forsaking the vaudevilles, came forth as
dramatic stars in "A Parlor Match" at Tony
Pastor's, somewhere in tho vicinity of 1884
there was at first some doubt whoiher they had
chosen wisely. Their play was absurdity itself.
It had Hoyt's name; but there wa another
claimant for its authorship in Frank Dumont,
the minstrel, who vowed that K was onlv
an elongation of bis old sketch, "The Book
Agent," hieh Evans and Hoeyused to play in
their humble days. Hoyt and Damont lung
ago ceased to quarrel, but "A Parlor Match'
has never since failed to profit Its pair of stars.
There was a month or so of suspense, and af tor
that all was serenity and profit.
.
This season's shore is already strewn with
wrecks. Frank McNIsh, the old minstrel, had
started a-starringln a farcical play called "Out
of Sight," It was his white-faced debut, and
be had been led to expect a triumph. Be
played a sort of protean role, Impersonating an
English lord, a French valet, a negro, and an
American traveling salesman. Oddly enough;
those who had flocked to see him do acrobatic
marvels in bnrnt cork didn't respond t his new
appeal. The company returned to New" York.
There is a hint that they will reorganize! and go
out again, however. Another troupe returned
to Now York i headed by George Edgar in
"The Banker."" Their Pittsburg experience
was sad enough, bdt Buffalo finished them.
They, too, talk of resuniinjr travel after tha
play has been revised. A "Michael Stroeoff
companv, organized by G. W. Mitchell, is
stranded at St. Louis, owine to too Iisbt re
ceipts. Francis Leon'seffort to establish a per
manent minstrel band at Chicago has come to
.grief, as have all similar attempts in recent
years. Leon has now made tbe theater com
bination house. He is wealthy, and the failure
will not hurt him financially.
The truth about Edwin Booth's health is not
cay to obtain. His representative In New
York writes me that the reports ot Mr. Booth's
illness are nntrue. This week's "Mirror says:
Edwin Booth is troubled with a form of sciati
ca. He has freqoent vef tlgo, and often when
be rises to walk bis legs are unsteady and he is
obliged to lean on a chair for temporary sup
port. Mr. Booth is recovering from the attack
that caused afixietywhis friends ftweekagd,
but there is grave reason to think that be will
never again play with the old flro and energy.
Every sincere admirer of the drama hopes
that these reports are exaggerated, but it is to
be feared that Mr. Booth has not enjoyed good
health since his seizure about to year and a half
The dramatization of that extremely disa
greeable novel "The Clemonceau Case," bas
not achieved a success in New York, where it
was produced last week. At first Hiss Pearl
Eytinge essayed tbe heroine's role, bat compe
tent actress as she is. she could not realize tbe
character at alb Miss Eytinge has not acted
for some time, and ber clever work In prose
and verse, somo of which bas appeared in The
DISPATCH, alone has kept her name belore
tbe public. She raustbe more than S3 though
to mention this is not very gallant seeiug that
she w A already an actress of some years' ex
perience when she appeared In the original
Eroduction by" Mr. Florence, of "Tbe Mishty
dollar." at Abbey's Park Theater in 1876. "The
Clemenceatt Case" was her first in several
years, and it' is unfortunate" that she should
have essayed a part so totally unfitted f.,rbrr.
On Wednesday night Miss Sybil Johnstone
appeared in Misr EyttngB's' place; She-is a"
clever actress, bat' tbe means by which she
created a sensation had very little to do with
histrionics; Tho critic of the New York Tttliti
describes what happened thus: ''.Miss John-
stone's figure bas all theslendernesrand little
ness of you tb. and she did not hesitate' to dress
perhaps undress Is a better term In ar man
ner that was startling to say the least. Her
first costume was well enough. It was that of
a student, and was neat, pretty and tasteful.
The second was arnegligce in no sense remark
able, but the third produced a sensation. It
consisted of a pair of tights and a closely-fitting
upper garment that clung without a crease to
everv curve. It was in these light and airy
nothings that Miss Johnstone took tbe center
of the stagoand posed as a model In tbe studio"
scene. There was not a trace of drapery, and
when tbe posing was finished Mr. Lackaye
carefully enfolded ber in a looscly-flowf nir wrap
that only emphasized tbe nakedness of ber
neck and ankles.
"To say the spectators were surprised but
feebly expresses tbe sensation caused by tbe
exposure. They fairly gasped for breath. In
the fourth act Miss Johnstone wore a light
silk wrapper of such flimsy material that it
clung persistently to her and disclosed thef act
that she still had on her 'model' costume. Her
performance,- histrionically, was highly suc
cessful." It is not probable that Pittsburg will be
shocked with a view of this unpleasant play
and its peculiar concomitants.
Manager W. A. Brady under whose fostering
care Bobby Gaylor and "The Irish Arab" are
traveling, is a remarkable man. Not physically
perhaps; for he is small In' stature, but in the'
brain department. Five years ago he was a
property man, to-day he owns four dramatic
companies; all of which are on a paying basis.
and as ho is not yet 30 years old be has plenty
of time to make a bigger mark. Those who are
familiar with bis career attribute bis success to
his good business qualities, his knowledge of
stage craft' and judgment of hdmad nature.
His dramatic policy has been to take old plays
hud by dint of new talent'and general retouch
ing galvanize them into success. Mr. Brady is
plainly a factor to becountedin tbe managerial
World. EEPBUB2T JOIIKS.
Tho Programme.
The Bijon Theater will this week present to
its patrobs as a star that funny man Bobby
Gaylor, in William A Brady's production of
"An Irish Arab." Heretofore Mr. Gaylor bas
only been seen in variety companies, where be
bas been a very bright light. He bas humor of
the spontaneous kind, and never falls to elicit
roars of laughter from, his auditors. Reports
from tbe East and West where tho play has
been done, however, indicate that both the
star and the company have made an unquali
fied bit. "An Irish Arab" Is Lester Wallack's
old comedy, "The Veteran," rewritten' to fit
Mr: Gaylor, who has tho low comedy role of
O'Flanagan. The production will be given
under tbe personal supervision or Mr. Brady,
and will be a pretentious one, that celebrated
artist, Mr. Harley Merry; having painted the
five-act sets of scenery used. The cast is i
strong one and as follows:
ARABS.
O'Fl-an-ag-an, Grand Vizier of Myra
Bobbr Gaylor
Sultan of Myra D. C. Deal
Mohammed, an Arab chlel. D. C. Murray
Mustapba Monhad. Jobn ti. Marble

U'UIor, aC'anuch Joe Utt
Amlneu, a sister to Mohammed. .Miss Marie Bene

CHBISTIA2TS.
Colonel Bransoombe, of the English army.....

Jack llranseombe. Ills son. ..Clarence Handyslde
Edward, bis nephew James M. Bropby
Colonel Denton V. L.. Frailer
Captain Morton Frank Thompson
Blanche Wilson, the Colonel's protege
,..., Miss Jessie Utory
Mrs-MoSbake.... Miss Carrie Clark-Ward
During the tbird act a magnificent acrobatic
act is presented by tbe famous three brothers
La Martine. This performance bas created a
perfect furor in every city. Their feats are
said to be really astonishing. Mr. Gaylor and
his company of players will surely be greeted
by a very large bouse, for the advance sale of
seats is tbe biggest that tbe Bijou bas bad this
season, and there is no doubt, if all the reports
we have beard or the merits of "Au Irish Arab"
prove correct, that many nights during the en
gagement that standing loom will be at a pre
mium. Orr Monday night Louis Aldricb comes to the
Grand Opera House for one week with bis new
play called "The Editor." The reputation Mr.
Aldrich has established is pretty generally
understood.. As an impersonator of the manly,
straight-forward, faithful heroes of the "West
ern Drama" he has won considerable fame.
His performance of Bartley Campbell's hero in
"My Partner"' played an important paTtin
bringing to public notice the dead dramatist's
great power as a playwright. On the coming
occasion be will present a new character to the
stage, a far Western editor. He is "go-aheada-tive,"
emphatic, irrepressible and somewhat
rough, but manly and earnest. The play itself
is a comedy. "The Editor" was first produced
last spring at Palmer's Theater, New York,
again at Philadelphia and Boston, In each of
which cities Mr. Aldrich's impersonation of tbe
Arizona editor, Colorvel Jonn Hawkins; was
received with many signs of popular favor.
The engagement is for one weekwltb Wednes
day and Saturday matinees;
The Clipper Theater offers Sun's New
Phantasma and Burlesque Company this
week, Tbe Louisville Post, September 2, 1800,
said: A crowded house witnessed the first per
formance of Sun'r New Phantasma and Bur
lesque Company last evening at tho Bucking
ham Theater. The show is one of the best of
the variety order that bas been seen here this
year. George Sun's fine feats of juggling ex
cited tbe admiration and wonder of tbe audi
ence, and Jobn Cobum's black-face turn was
another excellent feature. Alice Kingslcy
made a very clever male impersonator, and J.
H. Murtha and Jessie Lake gave a very inter
esting musical sketch. The remainder of the
company is up to the standard.
WHEN it is said that Tony Pastor's company
is the attraction at Harry Williams' this week
the public knows pretty definitely that the
best in the vaudeville line is to be seen at the
Academy, The great English music hall singer,
Miss Bessie Bonehlllr who made such a hit in
New York last year, is the star of the company,
but there is a great deal of talent In the pro
gramme beside-) ber. Mile. Beatrice is a mar
velos contortionist? Miss Maggie Cline has not
a superior as a character singer, and the com
pany is strong in comedians. Mr. Tony Pastor
himself will sing, at every performance.
Dop.E Davidson and Ramie Austen will
make their appearance before a-Pittsburg au
dience to-morrow at Harris' Theater in the
hishly emotional drama of "Guilty Without
Crime," The play is au adaptation of Miss M.
E. Braddnn's intensely dramatic novel of "Au
rora Floyd," and the work ot fitting It for
stage representation bas been effectively and
thoroughly done.
Other Amusements.
Haebt Davis' pretty Fifth Avenue Museum
wilt certainty presenta unique entertainment
for tne coming week. A genuine Japanese
village is indeed a novelty. Dai Nippon and his
troupe are termed "Oriental art missionaries."
Tbcv transform the house into a semblance of
a Japanese village. A street j shown and on
either side are booths at which Japanese arti
sans are at work. Some paint on silk and satin;
others work with bamboo, making easels, taWca
and chairs. Another paints on chihaf one
makes toys and tops, one embroiders, and the
entire show is not only amusing but instructive.
ICanoska, a real Japanese maiden, holds high
tea, and after making tbe tea In true Oriental
style dispenses it to lady visitors. All the work
is done under the eye ot the visitor, and those
who have looked at the village say that id's the
most novel exhibition of the kind ever witnessed
It is undoubtedly an entertainment that will
be of snecial interest to ladies and children,
Severa'l souvenir days are to be Introduced by
Manager Darts', and every one will fiave an op
portunity to obtain some of the article that
are brought into existence under their eyes.
Mr. Davis evidently believes in giving hH pa
trons plenty for their money, and in addition to
the proposed Village will have meritorious
musical attraction on the Roof Garden in addi
tion to the many inanimate features' that can be
seea there. On the parlor stage of the thea
torluro there will bo an exceptionally stronar
performance. Howe and Doyle head
thef bill in their latest novelty en
titled the "Power of Music," and the
Gleason children, two verv yonng Comedians,
aro said to be clever. The Welches, Drew's
Blaek Art, and many other foituTes complete
a full hour's entertainment, Tne manager of
this house said he would present entertainment
for ladies and children, and the diversity of
tbe-features ho is giving dearly indicate that
he IS conscientiously keeping bs word.
The World's Museum offers an' entire change
of bill, and among tho new attractions are Syf
ivestet Croolee, who bangs bfmself by tho neck
as often as desired; Prof. Wallace, who can imt
tate tbe songsters of the grove so well that he
s called the "Man-blrdf tbe Martin Sisters,
Albinos of great personal charms: Edward and
Louise Lorrett. who produce wondeTfnl pict
ures, and Prof. Barbour, who will in troddce the
public, through his stereoptlcan, to views of in.
foresting place, and portraits of famous men
and women in tne Old and New World, Besides
these curiosities, which are well fitted to please
ladies and children, there wtll be a performance
in the theator, lasting for an hour or more, by
the AU-Star World's Specialty Company.

James Harrison Meade's quiet marriage
was a surprise to the army of theatrical people
who knew him ara veteran of veterans, a dar
ing speculator and a wise manager. Thirty
years ago he was the husband of the lamented
Lucille Western, then a pretty girl of only 17,
hot already a dasblng actress in "The Three
Fast Men," Meade managed her tours for
many years. Of late he has been associated
with David Henderson, of Chicago, in Various
spectacular productions.
David Christie Murray, the novelist re
cently appeared on the stage at Dunedin, New
Zealand. An actor had failed to come to the

took his place on tbe spur ot the moment ex
temporizing most of his "lines." The Sydney
critics say be is so delighted with his success
that be will hereafter seek fame as an actor, in
addition to that which' he bas attained as a
writer. Altogether, Murray's recent doings
hire savored of the eccentric.
AS idea of tbe magnitnde of the production
which Messrs. Locke & Davis are to give their
spectacular drama, "Claudius Nero," at
Nil'lo's, in October; may be gleaned from the
fact that the stages- of three city theaters are
now being used in preparing for the presenta
tion; one for rehearsing the 400 auxiliaries,
another for tbe rehearsals of the cast proper
and a tbird for the use of carpenters, sceno
painters and property men. In addition to this
the projectors of "Nero" have seenred a build
ing to be given over ttf the manufacture of cos
tumes and other incidental accessories to the
elaborate production.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
ON THE FEMALE FACE
Destroyed forever by the Electric Needle Operation by Dr. J. Van
mnl- TCiectrn Rnrrcisn. 502 Penn ave.. Pittsbursr.
Superfluous halrls an excessive growth of hair seen mostly on the
upper lip, 'chin, cheeks, throat, nose, ears, forehead, between the eye-l
brows, arms, hands and breast, also crows in thick tuf ta from moles
and birthmarks. This jrrowth of facial hair Is surprisingly prevalent.
We see it in the chnrch, drawing room, on thesirect, and wherever
ladies congregate. At least one-third of our ladies are troubled with
this obnoxious crowtb. , ,.., ,.,..,
Can you conceive of any facial blemish that 13 more distressing, an
fiOVInana humiliating to a sensitive, refined lady than a growth of
faeia) hair, a noticeable dark line on the upper Up, or a tuf t of coarse
hairs on chin and throat?
Everv lady with balr on her face knows that tbe use of depilatories,
heated wax, tbe tweezers, scissors aud razor all make these hairs grow
coarser, darker and more numerous. Remember Ibis, depilatory pow
ders or liquids only cut the hairs off at the surface and always stimu
late the growth, so that a lady mljbt just as well shave as to use them.
There Is only one meithod in the world by which hair can be de
stroyed and that is bv the KLECTR1C-NEEDLE OPERATION', as per-fnri.ilBvtr.J.VanDrck.EIectriSiireeon.53'JPoiinavehue,Plttsbnr!r.
This is a purely scientific operation and Is indorsed by all physicians and surgeons of emi
nence as belnc tlio only method in the world by which the follicle can be destroyed so the hair
can never ffiow aeain.
The electric needle is painlessly inserted into the hair follicle and destroys the little bulb or
sack from whirli tho hair crows.
Dr. Van Dyck is pleased to state to the ladles of Pittsburn and vicinity that he is perma
nently located in this city and devotes several hours daily to the permanent removal of superflu
ous hair by the electric needle, which is done without paiu. scar, shock, trace or injury. Dr.
