DISPATCH,

E3ECSSH
Harmon iously indeed did the week begin.
With Gcrn ert at the Lincoln Club, and
Ethplhcrt N evin at the art reception, Mon
dar evening, the melodious results almost
served to dissipate even childish recollec
tions of wash-ds. v the day of all others the
most disagreeabl e the day that was held in
such abhorence that Sunday -was looked
upon with displeasure, because Monday
inevitably followed the dav that the lunch
eon was never up to the standard the day
that the kitchen lnalo' nearly snapped your
ieadoff, if you ventured into her sacred
realms of soapsuds and soiled linen, and the
tecond maid insisted noon your putting to
place yourself the Sfnday-go-to-maeting
garb that you had worn fc'ie day previous
the day the mater never bad time to lend
assistance to childish schemes the day that
was not to be tolerated, but simply endured
an "off" day generally of which social
features were not a part
This Generation Will 2fever Know.
But iow matters have changed. Monday
is now a favorite day for the meeting of
clubs, musical?, receptions, and so forth,
and, though Thursday this year claims the
honor, Monday was last se-ison considered
the most fashionable day for weddings.
Certainlv Monday, the once disliked,
despised day, has risen above her previous
condition and ranks equally, at least, with
the other days of the week. And with this
new order ot events, and with laundries so
far removed from the living rooms and so
constructed that not even a whiff of soap
suds can penetrate the main part of the
home, the rising generation will never
know, except bv hearsay, the great aversion
hitherto ielt for this ablution day, for such
it continues to be, under cover, nor the
Fuffering endured by humanity before the
reform.
Returning to the subject, the harmony
which characterized Monday evening pre
vailed the entire week. Tuesday evening
Mr. Xevin delighted his listeners at the
1'itUburg Cluo Theater with his superb
piano performance, and Wednesday, Thurs
davand Friday evenings he did likewise in
Mrs. C P. Magee's artistic music room,
where the wealth, fashion and talent of the
East End congregated. Besides, the Kew
York Philharmonic Club, of national repu
tation, was heard Friday evening in Car
negie Hall, and the Ideal Concert Sextet, of
Xew l'ork, was also heard in Old City Hall
Friday evening.
A Good Deal in a Xame.
Truly it was a musical week, lor of course
the weddings, of which there were a number,
were harmonious. In connection with one
o! the most important and fashionable of
the weddings, an amusing lncidentoccurred,
which resulted in considerable embarrass
ment to one of the persons concerned. The
prooni bearing ihe same name and initials
as another very prominent business man in
the city, was "confounded with him, and in
quest of information regarding the details
f tbe affair, a certain lady, whose profession
necessitated the knonledgc. called upon the
wTong gentleman.
He, tall, courteous, and of commanding
presence, while admitting the name, declined
the soft impeachment and in proof of his state
ment that he was not going to be married that
evening, said he had undergone the ordeal
I ears ago, and had no des re whatever to be
come a Mormon. With the true instincts of
a gentleman, however, perceiving the confusion
of thelady, and graspingthe situation, he gave
imnuto directions for the finding or the real
culprit, and. vainly trying to repress a smile
that the ludici otlMiess of the event provoked,
he opened the door of his office and gracefully
bow ed the visitor out.
?
The Beauty-Spot Veil.
Besides Indulging in the usual pastimes
afforded by the season, society is wearing the
beauty-spot veil, and never was there such a
nnsuoiner. for with horrid, solid, black spots
on the nose, eje or mouth, even the mnst pro
nounced beauty is disfigured. And while the
so-called beauty-spot cil may accentuate tbe
fairness and whiteness of one ladv's skin, a
hundred other ladies will make of themselves
a subject for ridicule by wearing it. The gentle
men "dam" the beauty-spot veils.
Some Interesting Engagements.
Several engagements are meriting close at
tention just at present. One engagement of
wo very prominent East Ead young people I
had contemplated announcing in this article
when, lo ana heboid, it was declared off. I
think, however, it will bo declared on again
very shortly, and then if the young man is wise
In his day and generation, he will bring all of
his eloqu ence and pon ers of persuasion to hear
upon tup point of an early wedding dav. for
when the bird is caged it may at times flutter
ana beat its little wings against thegilded wires
(in his case golden), hut it cannot fl v away.
Another engagement that I have been se
cretly watching has afforded me any
amount of material for moralizing. The
young lady is a charming, petite creature,
with the daintiest features and the prettiest
Jmag-nalile eyes ana the biggest tyrant in tbe
world. Her lover is handsome and manly and
j.nteap-i!oopherinhis wav. At present he
..tcsup unreservedly to all of her whims and
caprices, hnt I think I detect in the smile
r inch he gives the little charmer ,when some
more than usual request, or demand rather, is
uaue upon Ins time or patience a slight sugges
tion of you-wait-my-little-lady-till-you'remv-uife,
which means at least an overthrow of the
monarchy and a more liberal government.
A Surprise for One of Them.
He's a politician in love making and I
wouldn't give any more for her chances of be
ing governor after marriage than I would give
for Mr. Delamater's. But as I once beard Mr.
Delaiuater say "whether lam elected or not I
am having lots of pleasure in anticipation," so
it is with the fair tyrant and she never loses an
pportnnity of testing her lOTer's allegiance.
r instance: The other evening he casually
remarked to her that he had ordered a dozen
cabinet pictures. Quick as a flash she turned
her pri-tty eyes upon him and saia "I want
them all."
"Why, sweetheart, what will yon do with a
whole dozen of my pictures, all alike?"
Tut tuem up in my room. May I have
them?" was the demure reply.
"Certainly, dearie, if you wish them" But
then I saw tho smile.

GOSSIP OF THE GUARDS.
Colonel Norman M. Smith is recovering
from his fall of a week ago, and expects to be
out ma few days.
Captain Charles S. Holmes, of Company
B, Eighteenth Regiment, returned to the city
yesterday, after an extended wedding tour in
tbe East.
Major McKee, who for the past four years
has been stationed at tbe arsenal in this city,
left for bis new assignment at Frankfort last
week. Major Phipps, late of the Dover arsenal,
has taken Major McKee's place in this city.
Lieutenant Colonel James Streeteb,
of the Tenth Regiment, spent a fow hours in
the city last week. Colonel Streeter hails from
Little Washington, and is tbe tallest man in the
Guard, to say nothing of his ability to tell
stories.
Bishop McClaran, who has been in the
city during tbe past week in connection with
the conference of bishops here, was an old
member of the Duqnesne Greys beforo he em
braced his present calling and in those days
strictly one of the boys.
H.J. Langhatjs. formerly Quartermaster
Sergeant of the Eighteenth Regiment, and for
many vears connected with the local militia,
died last Friday and will bo buried this after
noon. Six of his friends, most of whom are
now officers in the regiment, will act as his
pallbearers to-day.
Lieutenants Horace F. Lowrt and Will
iam A. Dook have been detailed as instructors
for the non-commissioned officers of the
Eighteenth Regiment, Certain nights will bo
set aside for the school and it will probably be
continued through the winter. It would be well
for the other organizations in tbe city to follow
suit in the matter of non-commissioned officers'
schools, as it is expected the inspectors next
spring will be oven more rigid than ever in de
termining the knowledge of the sergeants and
corporals.
The rain during the past few weeks has
seriously interfered with rifle practice in the
local organizations,and as aconscquence consid
erable work will be done In thecomlng ten days
as the season closes November 8. An effort
will be made to have the time for closing the
ranges extented nntil the last of November, as
Battery B and tbe Eighteenth Regiment did
not commence practice until the early part of
September on account of being unable to
secure grounds. Both of the Pittsburg regi
ments and tbe Battery will excel the record of
last season in tbe number of men qualified.
The companies and the field' music of tbe
Eighteenth Regiment are ordered to report for
battalion drills Monday, October 27, Thursday,
November 13, and Thursday, November 20. at
7:30 P. M. They are also ordered to assemble
on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, at 2:30 P.
21. for parade. A littieTaore attention is ex
pected from tbe line officers, as company drills
must be held weekly hereafter, and the num
ber of men and officers on each drill is to be re
ported to headquarters weekly. As a number
of officers have lately been absenting them
selves from the city without leave, hereafter
leaves of absence are to be required and other
forms of military courtesy will be expected.
Captain Henry Schmidt, of Company A,
Fourteenth Regiment, is having a pair of very
pretty marksman's bnttons 'made to be con
tested for by the enlisted men in the local or
ganizations on some day before the closo of the
present season. Tbe buttons are to be of gold
and enamel, with garnets in tbe bulleyes, and
will bo patterned after the ones in
use in the regular service, the winner
of them the first time to keep them.
Captain Schmidt's example would be agood one
for some of the other officers in this end of the'
State to follow, as no greater incentive can be
given to rifle practice than by putting up a few
trophies to be contested for. By barring out
some of the crack shots who wear shoulder
straps the results become much more uncer
tain and consequently more interesting.

The above are the theatrical attractions for
this week.
The week just ended has not been remark
able in a theatrical way, for "Aronnd the World
in Eighty Days" has been seen here so often
that it is absolutely nauseating' to tho regular
theater goer, and "The Woman Hater" is not
a great comedy, if indeed it deserves to bo
called a comedy at all. Mr. Roland Reed is a
comedian of no little ability, and he makes
"ihe woman Hater" the success it is. For a
pie:e of quiet, clean comedy Mr. Reed's dis
cussion ot honeymoon resorts can hardly ho
beaten. It is tbe irem of the piece, aud .Miss
lsadore Rush assists him mightily in polishing
it with her charming manner, lair (face and
feminine humor.
V
The last time James T. Powers made Pitts
burgers laugh was when he played tho title role
in "The Drum Major" with the New York
Casino Company. Ho showed originality a
wonderfully rare thing in comedians, by the
way then, and it is safe to expect lots of
laughter from "A Straight Tip," which is his
farcical vehicle at tho Bijou this week.
V
It is very questionable if live elephants, lions,
tigers and menageries in general are real helps
to a spectacular show. The elephant, Victoria
Mazonka, that tbo ICiralfy's use in "Around
the World, etc.," is said to have cost them
34,000, and, if they paid 10, I think the money
bad better have been saved for other purposes.
After threatening to break up tbe Bijou
stage and shaking the stairway leading to
Sixth street till Mtno Host Schlosser's cooks in
the hotel kitchen below thought they would
have an elephant on their hands, Messrs.
Gulick&Co agreed with the Messrs. Kiralfy
that Victoria had better bo brought no
further than the lobby. So for the rest of the
week after Tuesday the elephant stood on ex
hibition in the lobby and waa a source of won
der and great joy to the children.
Strong aud useiul animals as they are
elephants are not equal to tbe task of elevating
the drama. They resemble Mrs. Langtry and
Mrs. James Brown Disappeared Potter in this
single particular.
'.
Lions are a part of the spectaclo with which
Messrs. Lock & Davis have startled New York
City. "Nero," the spectacular drama
in question, was produced on Mon
day last at Niblo's in New York
and apparently with considerable success.
The lions did not arrive in time to share the
applause given to Milton Lackaye and the
other actors on tbo first night, but tbey are now
in the cast. Some of the New York papers
waxed enthusiastic over the scenery and
effects, but others say tbe whole thing is cheap
and in no sense an artistic picture of Roman
life and landscape. Tbo Herald describes
"Nero's" attractions thus: "But there was
noise aud glitter, a whole brass band on the
stage, a bear which seemed to have corns and a
tiger which shook his paws at the audience in
a by-baby fashion, and tbe audience was
pleased.
"Then, when Romo began to sizzle and the
perforated steam pipes along the stage began
to give fortb vapor and Carrie Turner, like an
accommodating ghost, arose and took a Rus
sian bath just at the right moment; and then
two bricks and a half of a scene flat fell down
on Alice Fischer and killed her, the audience
truly rejoiced."
Another new play produced In Now York
this week is "Men and Women," by Messrs.
De Mille and Belasco, tbe authors of "The
Wife" and "The Charity Ball." Mr. Charles
Frohman's new stock company made its first
appearance in Proctor's Twcnty-thlrd Street
Theater in this play, and both actors and play
were given a warm reception. "Men and
Women," according to tho critics, is a comedy
drama built on exactly the same lines as its
predecessors by the same authors. 1 should
judge from tbe opinions ot the New York
critics that tbe play is not of a very high order,
cither as literature or as a work of imagina
tion, but it is entitled fairly to the name of
American, tells an interesting, if somewhat
confuspd and unduly prolonged story, and en
forces an admirable moral in its illustrations of
the social and moral dangers arising from that
fever of speculation which is one ot tho evils of
the day.
A single episode of the play is admitted by
all to be entirely dramatic. At the climax of
this episode the hero, a peccant cashier, who is
not suspected of crime, and whose moral
nature, after a fierce struggle, conquered bis
pride and self-love, siezes the handcuffs in
tended for an innocent man, and tho green
moonlight illuminates a stained-glass window
wbicb pictures tbe pardon of the repentant
Maedalcn. This is a step nearnr religious sym
bolism than tbe authors had tbe courage to go
when they made "Tho Charity Ball." It quite
eclipse the singing of Handel's "He was De
Boised" behind the scenes in the similar climax
of tbat play.
The New York T ibune finds fault with the
title of the play. Browning's "Men and
Womei" suggested it, possibly, and the
Tribune remarks solemnly: "It was a grievous
error to take tho name of the play from
Browning, as it was a uiistako to take the name
of "The Wife" from Sheridan Knowles. Play
wrights should be able to got names for their
constructions without such unlicensed borrow
ings." V
It is jnst possible that Pittsburg may see
Sarah Bernhardt next spring, and some interest
may be taken tn "Cleopatra," a five-act drama
in six tableauxs, by Sardou and Emile Morcau,
with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt in tbe title role,
which was produced last week at the Porte
Saint-Martin in Paris. It was a success and a
surprise. "Cleopatra" differs radically from
the conceptions not only of Shakespeare and
Cornciile, but of Lacroix, Gautier, Mine. De
Geradin, Houssaye and Rider Haggard. The
authors seem to have selected some of the"
salient passions, traits and foibles delineated
by each of their predecessors and with keen
dramatic instinct to havn welded them together,
tbe critics sav.
"Cleopatra" Is essentially a spectacnlar play,
and as such surpasses anything yet attainod on
the Paris stage. It Is difficult to imagine any
thing more beautiful than Vltopatra's arrival
on the banks of the Cydnus in her galley with
rose-colored sails, a correspondent writes.
Succeeding scenes were equally impressive,
and the great actress made a tremendous char
acter of Cleopatra. Her dresses are historically
accurate and astonishingly beautiful. The
ceinture or girdle worn by her seems to have
attracted more attention than anything else in
tbe way of jowolry. The ceinture is a serpent
two meterslong, and of about the thickness of
a woman's wrist. This serpent is of gold, with
enameled scales, and its head is made of an
enormous pohEhed but uncut emerald, and in
this are set two rubies that form the eyes. This
is a masterpiece of the jeweler's art. The.
body of the serpent is jointed, so as to bend ex
actly like a living reptile. It is worn encircled
about the waist in spiral curves, beginning on
the left arm and terminating on the right
shonlder, where the glitteriug head of the ani
mal is half concealed beneath the folds ot the
crepe ae Chine texture.
Tbe blonde Sarah of "Frou Frou" and "Theo
dora" and "La Tosca" is now transformed to a
dusky saffroned queen. This skin colorlnir Is a
very difficult task, especially as it all has to be
removed again after each performance. Sarah
Bernhardt and her famme de chambre tried all
the preparations of druggists and chemists In
vain. They finally succeeded in composing tho
necessary ointment themselves.
Charles T. Murray, writing to The Dis
patch from New York, says: "Among the new
plays recently brought out here is"Tha Whirl.
iwind.' Helen Dauvray, at the Standard. Why
Whirlwind.' beats me. JBut the title fits it
quite as wen as tne lantastic titles of the ma
jority of modern pieces, having no connection
Whatever with tho play. Helen Dauvray is a
clevor actress and Ine Whirlwind' Is a strong
playjts chief fault lying in the anti-climax of
thelearlna; Honse scene. Uut this is not
wont I w roIbb; to write about. In the cast la
Theodore 'Hamilton, once an actor of good
rlfO-
wir Ptti
promise In leading heavies, now a big gray
haired man without a voice. A coincidence is
tbe appearance in the same piece of J. G. Sa
ville, well known in Washington as the nld
time manager of the old National. Jack Sa
ville some 20 years ago had about as good a
stock company together at the National as was
ever known in Washington. Theodore Hamil
ton was with it. Kate Claxton, Mis. Germon,
May Saville, May Fletcher and others who
have since become stars in tbe theatrical firma
ment attest SaviUe's judgment as a manager at
that time. Jack himself then played with his
own company, but was never much of au actor,
he has not improved by age. Theodore Ham
ilton was one of tbe good fellows of the day.
He has had a checkered career was a long
time in Australia, where, I understand, he was
once a successful thoatrical manager. Twenty
years or so is a long time in our stage his
tory and bridges the combination system now
universal. To old theater-goers tbo occasional
sight of these stock actors of the past doing
their best to fit themselves into the modern
grooves brings up a whirlwind of reminis
cences." Amatenrs in this part of tho world are begin
ning to wake up for work. The Sewicklcy
Valley Dramatic Club will give its first per
formance of the season on November 2S. Tbe
play will be "A Box of Monkeys" by Miss
Furness, but tho cart has not been chosen yet.
Julia Marlowe made her first appearance as
Shakespeare's Beatrice last week in Philadel
phia. The general opinion seems to be tbat the
character was a little beyond her. If tho Du
qnesne Theater is open in time, I believe Pitts
burg will at least have a chance of seeing this
remarkable young actcess earlv in the coming
year. Hepburn Johns.
The Programme.
The Bijou Theater, if all accounts can bo be
lieved, has, beyond all pcradventure, one of
the greatest successes ever known In America,
billed to appear here to-morrow night. It is in
the shape of the well-known comedian of the
Casino, New York, Mr. James T. Powers, in
John J. McNally's brilliant farcical satire on
racing, "A Straight Tip." The piece had its
first production in Boston some nine week's
ago, where it played to tho largest week's re
ceipts of the season, at tho Hollis Street Thea
ter, and was received with the most unbounded
enthnsiasm. Since then it has more than
Lduplicatcd its original success in Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Columbus. Cleveland, etc., etc.
It is now en route to San Francisco, where it
plays during tlio holidays, returning to New
York early In January for tbe remainder of tbe
season. The cast of "A Straight lip" is one
rarely seen outside of stock organizations like
Augustin Daly, A. M. Palmer or Daniel Froh
man's. It is composed of tbe very cream of
farce comedians. And its lady members are all
acknowledged artists of cleverness, brightness
and originality. In addition tbey possess youth
dearest of all charms and beauty to
an unusual extent The gentlemen of
tbe cast are headed by James T.
Powers, who needs no further intro
duction. His work as the leading comedian at
the Casino, New York, is a part of recent
American stago history. Peter F. Daly is ac
counted one of tbe most original and magnetic
comedians who ever faced an andlence in this
country. John Sparks, from his seven years'
experience in leading comedy roles with Ed
Harngan at Harrigan's Theater, New York
City, is peculiarly well fitted in tbe part of an
irascible Irish parent. Richard Gorman is
suited to a dot in the role of a typical Down
EaH Yankee "the man from Bangor." F. T.
Ward was the striking feature of Nat C. Good
win's New York production of "Little Jack
Sheppard." Al Hart is clever and picturesque
to a degree. Others are John P. Curran, How
ard Graham, Oscar Scuocning, a diminutive
i'ockeyfrom the classic shadows of Bunker
fill; Walter Poole, Henry Sator, as musical
director, etc. Emma Hanley, last season play
ing the principal soubrette roles in the Aron
son (New York Casino)Comic Opera Company,
is the soubrette of "A Straight Tip." Delia
Stacey, the dainty engenue from the home
Casino (New Yoik) company; pretty Maggie
Garrett, handsome Eloise Mortimer, and splen
didly talcuted Lilla Linden form a quartet
of ability and beauty seldom found
in a traveling organization. Emily Stowe
is at home in a difllcnlt character part. And
then tbero is the comedy horse and tbe invisi
ble dog. Two immensely strong features of
tbo comedy are Mr. Powers' marveiously clover
travesty burlesque of Spanish dancing, as ex
emplified by Carmencita, and the great race
track scene in act 4. The company is under
the well-known management of Rich and Har
ris, proprietors of the Hollis Street Theater
and Howard Athenaeum. Boston: the Worces
ter Theater, Worcester, Mass.; George Thatch
er's Minstrels, tbe Howard Athenaeum Spe
cialty Company and the big Hanlon-Volter and
Martlnetti Pantomine and Specialty Combine.
Joseph Murphy, one of tbe foremost of tbe
Irish comedians on the stage, comes to the
Grand Opera House this week. Few actors of
the present age bave brought so much pleasure
to thousands as Joseph Murphy. There are
those who never see the inside of a theater ex
cept on tbe occasions of Joseph Murphy's ap
pearance, and tbo delight they experience is
satisfaction enough for a year, Mr. Murphy
comes well supported. The first half of the
week be will appear in tbe companion drama to
"Kerry Gow." entitled "Shaun Rhne," Intro
ducing Mr. Murphj's wonderfully successful
song, "A Handfull of Earth." The latter half
of the week he will be seen in the greatest of
all Irish dramas, "The Kerry Gow."
The favorite Irisn comedian, Joseph J. Sul
livan, will appear at Harris' Theater this week
in the musical comedy "Black Thorn." Mr,
Sullivan is an original Irish impersonator and
can both act aud sing. Ho was last seen here
as Slteriff Clutch in "Later On." The comedy
is well constrncted and is full of pleasing spec
ialties given by Miss Lea Peasley, Grade
Chase, Georgie Hawley, Dolnris Frankel aud
other talented people. Miss Rena Persell, who
plays tho leading role, is an actress of ability.
Lester William's London Novelty
and Gaiety Company will furnish tbe en
tertainment at Harry Williams' Academy this
week, and a burlesque calledf'Me and Jack"
will be the amusing vehicle. .. The company in
eludes some first-class people, among them
Estella Sylvia, Matt Gallagher and John West
two prime lun makers Polly McDonald, the
Washburn Sisters, John Burke, Grace Forrest;
Lew Carroll and many others.
Other Amusements.

Delia Fox is making a great name for herself
and Thomas Scabrooke is keeping himself well
to the front.
Mr. Richard Barker, the stage director
for Francis Wilson and company, has just re
turned from England where he went on a mis
sion to arrange for the production of Francis
Wilson's latest success. "Tho Merry Monarch,"
in London. The opera will bo produced there
in January. ,
Mr. Hubbard T. Smith, the composer of
tbe song "Listen to My Tale of Woe," which
Francis Wilson and Marie Jansen made so pop
ular In "The Oolah.".has become a member of
Francis Wilson's Opera Company and has made'
a hit in tbe part of the Minister oJ?oltce in
"The Merry Monarch."
A telegram received from Bridgeport,
Conn., last night, said: Miss Alice Gray, a
member of Gillette's "Held by the Enemy';
company, who performed in this city Monday
evening, died at the hospital this morning.
Miss Gray took the part of Aunt ilcCreeiy and
was au actress of great ability.
A great many people predicted tbat W. J.
Gilmore would be a big loser when he ventured
to put an opera company on tbe road, but they
were badly fooled. He is not only making
money with "The Sea King," but he is making
an artistic record as well. Bob Graham, as tho
leading comedian, is surprising his most
sanguine admirers. It comes to us in a few
weeks.
Miss Maud Midgley. of this city, has made
a distinct hit by her acting of the title role of
Hanlon's new spectacular creation, "Su
perba.' The role calls for good acting and a
stately stage presence, and as Miss Midgley is
in every way qualified to meet these require
ments, ber success is not a matter of mystery.
"Superba" will shortly be seen at the Opera
House.
Sydney Price, an English actor, who had
the honor of accidentally scalping Richard
Mansfield in tho combat rceneof "Richard
III.," at the Globe Theater, London, arrived in
New York Monday. Mr. Price is 6 feet 6
inches tall, of very distinguirbed appearance,
and looks like the Archbisbop of Canterbury.
Mr. James T. Powers was never in a betting
ring at a race track until be was given his
part in "A Straight Tip," and found it neces
sary to make a study of pool selling and horse
racing. He has found, however, bis own
"Straight Tip" a vast deal more profitable than
those be received at the Eastern race tracks
tbe past summer.
The gowns worn by Delia Stacey, Lilla Lin-
den, Eloise Mortimer and Maggie Garrett in
tbe first, second and third acts of "A Straight
Tip'' are said to be unique in design, richly
harmonious in color, and .of tbe latest New
York, London and Paris make. To those in
terested in the matter of feminine apparel, it
suffices to say that Redfern is the maker.
"The Bottom or the Sea" is said to be the
best spectacle on the road this season. The
company i3 a competent one, if all reports are
true, and tbe stage mechanisms are a novel ty to
the theatrical world. The tight between a diver
and a devil fish is very realistic, as are tbo as
sassination in the water and the laying of tho
cable. It comes to the Bijou November 3. Mr,
W. A. Brady's success in arranging the produc
tion of this play has been remarkable.
The management of Gillette's latest big
comedy success, "All tbe Comforts of Home,"
are in tbe same position as thev wero with
"Shenandoah." Bronson Howard's play was
booked for six weeks at the Star Theater.New
York, and its wonderful success rendered its
return to New York necessary. And now "All
the Comforts of Home,"-that by a strange co
incidence was preseuted in New York on ex
actly tbe same day ot the month as "Shenan
doah." is similarly situated. After several
out-of-town engagements an effort w;ll be made
to renew the run In New York. Manager
Charles Frohman is now arranging to secure a
theater. Its success in tbe metropolis was
phenomenal.
