Works Announced by the Juch Opera
Company at the Dnquesne Thea
ter for This Week.
THE JlASTERflECE OF MEYERBEER
And His Posthumous Wort, With Lohengrin
and the First Production of the
Flying Dutchman
FROH THE MIGHT! PEN OP WAGXEE.
Odds sad Ends of Interest to 111 Lovers of tie Art
D.vnie is the Two Cities.
If the performance of the Juch Opera
Compauy fairly realizes the promise of the
repertoire announced for the week, our new
Duquesne Theater u ill open in a blaze of
operatic glory, such as has but once or twice
before burst upon Pittsburg's vision. That
"if" deserves its capital letter, though; Mr.
Locke sets no small task before his troupe,
in the particular operas chosen lor this en
gagement, to say nothing of the general ob
stacles that make it impracticable to give
wholly complete and adequate prodnctions
of modern grand opera with a traveling
company.
To begin at the small end: "II Trovatore"
and ".Faust," while o ten heard here in tne
pist, maintain unabated their extraordinary
popularity; no manager can be expected to
throw over all the old reliables for the nov
elties which may or may nnt win popular
success. Verdi's "ltigoietto" has not been
worthily presented here ("Abbott Opera"
don't count) in many jears. It ".is first
Produced in 1851, with which date Verdi's
lasting reputation reallj began, though the
dozen preceding cars had brought out many
operas Iroin nis pen. AVith "'Trovatore' (two
ears younger). "Traviata" and "11 Balio in
Maschera," "Rigoletto" cieuiulities the
t-tvle of composition so long identified
with Verdi's name, but npon which he made
so great an advance in "Aida" (IS71)
and the Requiem Mass (Ih.l), and uhi(.h b
quite abandoned in bis late work, "Otello."
'i he dramatic subject-matter of "Rigoletto" is
well knon through the play, "The Fool's Rc
cnge." The title role, so wonderfully playeu
by i-dwln Booth m the drama, belongs to the
baritone in the opera; it will gue Mr. Otto
Kathjens a fine cbance for his Pittsburg debut.
Mejerbccr s "Huguenots" and "1Afncaine"
hae al-o kept away lrom us for manyjears.
Indeed, the writer has not heard of an per
formance of the latter in this city; the former
was gnen here fullj 15 years ago by the
btrakoch troupe, with Kellogg and Cary. Both
are, therefore, practically new to the mass
of the local public The "Huguenots" Mejer
bcer': acknowledged masterpiece, was pro
duced m Pan in lb36 hi e years aticr "Robert
le Biable" had made Imu famous. Iuthesetwo
operas the composer realized his fullest pow
ers, though he had been well known before.
The "Huguenots ' nas a rich and deeply inter
esting theme in the savage religious persecu
tion that culminated in bt. Bartholomew's Day;
the treacherous gallantrj of the Court of Cath
erine de Medicis is well contrasted with the
sturdy manhood of old Maicel and the other
Huguenots. In this work Mejerbeer gives
the most evidence of his German
birth and education, ihcre is a seriousness in
his core that well befits such a theme. His
striking ue of Luther s hjtnn, "Ein Festc
Berg." as tho canttu Junius of a grand poly
phonic finale and his daring innoiation (since
followed bv Wagner ai d others) of prolonging
the great loie duet throogu the greater por
tion of an entire act, may be mentioned as
salient poiuts.
Meverbeer was engaged in writing "L'Afri
caine" for more than a score of jears, but died
Mai 2. 1681. in the midst of the preparations for
Its bm production at tho Grand Opera, Pans,
which hually occurred in April, lb65. In the
Intervals of Ins work on this score and of
his quarrels with fcenbe. its librettist, he
composed and produced -eieral others of bis
best known operas Though not his greatest
work, as -Mcierbcer fondly expected it to be. it
is one of his bes, productions; in spue of the
variations of stile, dne to its long incubation.
It is less artificial m character and gives a more,
poetical and f eelinc setting to its romantic
book than is the case with most of his other
works. "L'Alncaine" is concerned with the
adventures of Nasco di Gaina, the Portuguese
explorer, with touching and lomantic episodes.
In which a slavn girl, kelika, figures promi
nently as the heroine. The action takes place
in Lisbon, on sbinboard and upon an island on
the east coast of Africa.
The Wagner Operas.
The two operas bj that Titan of the modern
stase. Richard agucr, constitute the chief
teatnre of the week. "Lohengrin" has been
heard here but once before, when the National
Operal Company gave it in November, 1SS7.
"With "Tannhacuser," given the same week, it
seriedas the medium of introducing Wagner
formally and fairly to the local stage; and we
have seen no more of him since. "Lohengrin."
with its poetical storj and nchlv, beautiful
musical setting, has tims far been the most
popular ot Wagners works. When he wrote it,
Wagner stood on the dlndin:: line between the
conventional o-ei a of the past ind the music
drama of the future Tins score, therefore, pre
sents mam of the best points of the old school
oneras. but combined with a dramatic con
tistenc. m all tiie elements on the stage and
a sieuinciut orchestration therefore unknown.
Yet it is far from the plane of "Tnstan." for
instance, w here ne had perfected his principles
10 a point where mam are vet unable to follow
The Flving Dutchman," which will this
week have its first Pittsburg hearing, stands at
the commencement of this same intermediate
period in Wagner's development. It is to be
compared backward, rather than for
ward clear gulf separates it from
' Rienzi," its immediate predecessor. The
"Dutchman" was written in 1S12. at
Mcudon, near Paris, shortly after Wagner had
taken a stormj sea loyacc. during which he
liau read the old legend of the phantom ship.
The impressions of both voyage and legend
were so stronc. that he went to work at once
to embody tbem in an opera and finished it in
about seven weeks. It was produced the same
3 ear at Dresden, but was not at first received
with much favor bv the people, who expected
another work like "Rienzi," in the spectacular
style of Meyerbeer It has since become better
understood, however, and is Jiow in the reper
lo're of the leading opera houses the world
oicr.
The characteristics of the "Dutchman"
seore arc thus tersely put by Henry T. Finck:
"It contains the germs of most of his later re
formsleading motiies, a text of real noetic
value in lormand contents, a highlv character
istic orchestral part, an unprecedented freedom
In the use of discords and modulations, an
avoidance ot arias and ornamental vocalism.
The acting assumed as much importance as
the singiui; ana the scenerv, instead of being
dracged on the stage for mere effect, became
the necessary background of the action."
Big Itenelit Concert.
The testimonial concert to MrB. Weis, to
be given next nday afternoon at 2 o'clock in
the Grand Opera House, promises exceedmclv
well. It is expected to have an orchestra of 75
players, which would make one of the larcest
ever heard here. The Great Western Band
will, of course, be there in full force to hon6r
the conductor who, for over 25 years, has led
that military band at the head of all similar or
ganizations in this part of the countrv. Miss
Agnes Vogel, Mr los. A. Vogel and Mr. Staub
form the choice trio of vocalists for the big
benefit. The programme, as handed in, reads
thus:

ing, at Old City Hall, presents for the first time

there is great room for improi ement in theatri

makes no claim of originating that news item
about the various distinguished 'offs and'owskls
now making ready to invade America. The
statement was the common property of several
exchanges: but it was repeated more accurately
than J'resto succeeded in getting The Dis
patch's notice of the Weis benefit, which it
locates in Minneapolis.
Mr. Esuelblrt Nevis was one of the
number of Boston's foremost musical artists
who gave their services in the important con

Spohr's"Last Judgment" is the work chosen
this year. It will be given completely in the
in the series, with some few interpolations of
appropriate style to give proportion to each
quarter.
Loudix's "Original Fisk Jubilee Singers"
come to Old City Hall Friday evening next in
the popular Pittshurc Star Course. Mr. Lou
din is remAmhered from his annearance here.
before the troupe be:an its 6-year tour around
the world, as the possessor of a basso nrofundo
of unusual richness and ranee; the whole per
formance of this organization is an Interesting
presentation of the plantation melodies now so
rapidly dj logout.
Mr. Amos WniTlso has removed with his
family to Toledo, O. As the brother of one of
the foremost American composers and organ
ists, Mr. Whiting was most cordialiv received
when he came here some ten years ago, and for
several seasons he occupied a large place in the
public eye as the projector and conductor of
aiay i estivals and oilier large cnorai enter
prises. Ot late years he has confined himself
more exclusively to teaching, though he last
season organized and conducted the Handel
Musical Association, of Allegheny, which his
departure leaves now without a head.
Mr. H. P. Ecker, organist and choir-master
of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Allegheny, Is
arranging a promising concert to bo given in
its behalf at the Fourth ward school hall on
the 11th Inst. A chorus of 75 voices, accom
panied by an orchestra ot 15 players, will give
the "Lohengrin" finale, 'the Soldiers' Chorus
from "Faust" and "The Heavens are Telling,"
from the "Creation." besires helping out the
Sextette from "Lucia." Miss Carrie Roll,
soprano: Miss M. Roll, contralto: Messrs. L.
Adler tenor; F. A. Ammon. barytone, and W.
Fresscl, bass, will be the soloists of the even
ing. A good beginning of tho rehearsals for the
coming May Festival was made by Mr. Retter
last Monday evening. The works taken np
were the first finale from "Lohengrin" and
Saint-Saens' cantata "The Deluge," which lat
ter is a welcome repetition from the
last festival, where circumstances p re
lented a proper hearing of its many beauties.
Next will come Martin Roeder's new short
cantata "Apollo," Hajdn's "Emperor," Mass
and Rossini's "Stabat Mater." The remain
der of the choral programme has not been
decided upon. By vote of the chorus
the rehearsals (after.to-morrow evening, when
there will.be another general rehearsal) will be
held as follows: Monday, men; Tuesday,
women and Thursday, general rehearsal of
the entire chorus.
The Zitterbart Orchestra (amateur) will give
tho first concert of its second season at Old
City Hall on Tuesday evening, the 9th lnst.
Mr. Fidel! 5 Zitterbart and his 35 players will be
assisted bvRosa Linde (Mrs. Scbaarsclimldi),
once Pittsburc's leading contralto, now of New
York, who will sing the "Miguon" gavotte, an
aria from "Le Prophetc,"and an Arditi waltz
toner. Miss Helen Zitterbart. soprano, is down
for another waltz nrc. and Miss Ida C. Burgy
will play Weber's F minor piano concerto, with
orchestra. The purely orchestral selections
will be the allegro of Beethoven's "Pastoral"
Symphony, the overtures or Anber's "Fra
Diaiolo," and Ofienbach's "Orpheus" and
Jobann Strauss' waltz, "Aus dem Bergen."
An oboe solo by Mr. Yelgerbouse completes the
programme.
Mr. Theodore Thomas' regular concert at
the Lenox Lyceum. New York, last Sunday
evening was made especially interesting by the
two soloists. Slgnor Italo Campanini, the
famous tenor, who has lately had a tiny tumor
surgically removed from his vocal chords, made
his reappearance, and showed that this extra
nrdinari operation has had the effect of restor
ing his voice to a condition it has not enjoied
since it be?an to fail during Abbey's opening
season at the Metropolitan Opera Houso in
1SS3-1. Mrs. Fanny Bloomfield-Zeislcr, the
voung American pianist who has been rapidly
forging her way to the front, made an unqual
ified success: the detailed review of her work
in the Times is thus summed up: "In her field
Mrs. Zcisler is to day one of the best women
pianists in the world, andshe is entitled to a
place among players of the first rank. She has
technique, intellect, and emotion. What more
can be asked 7"
Messrs. Henbicks and Webster have
secured lor the next evening December 16
of their "Star Course" at Carnegie Hall, Alle
gheny, the famous Philharmonic Club, of New
York, which is probably the best chamber
music organization that travels in tuis countrv.
For the appearance here. Miss Marion S.
Weed, a metropolitan contralto of repute, has
been specially engaged. Another special feature
will be Mr. Bevendgo Webster's partici
pation as pianist in Schubert's Quintette, Op.
Ill for piano witb strings. Among the other
ensemble numbers will be two movements
from the Sextelle, Op. 79, which no less a com
poser than Jadassohn wroto for and dedicated
to this club, and Godard's "Dance des Bo
heruiens" Mr. Kichard Arnold, violin, and
Mr. Eugene Weiner, flute, are the most noted
solo.sts of the Philharmonic Club. To avoid
mistake it may be stated that the "Star Course"
of Messrs. Henricks and Webster has noth
ing whatever to do with the "Carnegie Course"
that seems to have come to grief last Fnday
evening.
What Is Catarrh
Catarrh is an inflammation of the mucous
membranes, and may affect the head, throat,
stomach, bowels or bladder. But catarrh of the
head is the most common, often coming on so
cradually that it has a firm hold before the
nature of the trouble is suspected. Catarrh is
caused by a cold, or succession of colds, com
bined with
Impure Blood
Its local symptoms are a sense of fullness and
beat in the forehead, dryness In the nose and
back part of the throat, and a disagreeable dis
charge from the nose. When the disease gain
a firm hold on the system, it becomes chronic,
and is then exceedingly dangerous and treach
erous, liable to develop into consumption. The
eyes become inflamed and red, there is a throb
bing in the temples, ringing noises In the cars,
headache, capricious appetite, and sometimes
loss of sense of smell and hearing.
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is the remedy for this ever increasing malady.
It attacks at once the source of the disease by
purifying and enriching the blood, which in
passing through the delicate passages of the
mucous membrane soothes and rebuilds the
tissues, giving them tendency to health instead
of disease, and ultimately curing the affection.

was completely removed. We purchased the new discovery and named It
JtODENE. It is perfectly pure, free from ail injurious substance., and bo
simple any one can use it. It acts mildly but surely, and you will be sur
prised and delighted with the results. Apply for a few minutes and the
hair disappears as if by magic. It has no resemblance whatever to anr
other preparation ever need for a like purpose, and no scientific discovery
ever attained such wonderful results. IT CANNOT FAIL. If the
growth be light, one application will remove it permanently ; theheavr

at each application, and without the slightest injury or unpleasant feeling

Visited our stores yesterday to shake hands with Santa Claus a real,
live Santa Claus and to whisper in his ear what they want for Christ
mas presents. It was a curious and interesting sight. One Iittlefellow,
about 6 years old, was asked by Santa Claus: "Are you a good boy?"
After a moment's hesitation the little fellow replied: "Yes, I think
'I'm a good boy! That is, not a very, very good boy, but a middling
good boy. But, indeed, Mr. Santa Claus, I'll try to do better. And, oh!
I hope you'll bring me something nice for Christmas."
Indeed, it would keep Santa Claus very busy to provide all the
Christmas presents asked for by the little ones. Parents, won't you as
sist? Come with your children, and see what a multitude of things we
have to delight their young hearts. Articles selected now will be laid
aside until wanted.
