The only theatrical news of the week from
New York is the dismal story ot the failure
ofseTeral new productions. The most im
portant effort was Miss Margaret Mather's
in "Joan of Arc," and it was the most patent
lailure. One very merciful and reliable
critic sums up his verdict thus: "It is a
lone, dull play, drearily acted; the amazon
does not captivate; a very little suffices of an
inspired lady in steel trousers," Mr. "Will
iam Young's translation of Jules Bar
bicre s play appears to be very
lone, bombastic and windy. Miss
51-uucr's work i praised by no one. ana Indeed
the onlv act"r in the production who escapes
condemnation is Otisfekinner, wboe virility
anil histrionic power is still a pleasant memory
InFittsburg. Ino abundance of tableaux, tho
magnificent co-tuines, the scenery and the
lailitarj clancor of the story were not enough
tosae the plaj.
The other failure, according: to reliable au
thorities is the musical tarce corned or comic
ojera call'd "fehip Aboy!' to hich Grattan
Donnellv. at one tune a Pittsburs reporter,
contributed the libretto, and for which a
Pbuadelnuiin apparently purloined the
luuMc- Its condrmnatioi), was ccn more
unanimous -nil severe than that
of -Joan of Aic so thatjirobibly Pittsbur;;
will see tieithei It is just as well that the lail
ures are proiioui ced ii tbey bad to be failures,
although it is a matter Tor sincere regret that
Miss Mather a enterprise should have gone to
sticks.
V
If Mesrs. De Kovcn and Smith, the authors
of "Robin Hood," do not win fame and for
tune, then the verdict of large and most
representative Pittsburg audiences will
bo reversed. "Robin Hood" is cer
tainly the best comic opera beard
here in many years, and as far as mj experience
runs the very best opera comique written
by Americans. The Bostoniam are fortunate
in possessing so popular a work, and they de
serve ah their good fortune. Among rne or
camzations singing lightoper i on the American
stage to-daj the Uostomans stand lirst, and the
pnblic of Pittsburg have shown grateful recog
nition of the fact. They are a power for good
in a moral as well as an artistic sense upon the
stage.
.
Charles Barnard pais in a strong plea for a
higher tone in the drama in this w eck's Mirror.
He thinks a new class is beginning to attena
the theater; a class that used to associate the
plajhonse w ith the bottomless pit not long ago.
Obscene and sensational posters still frighten
these new converts, aud ilr. Barnard urges the
managers to reform their methods so that they
ma nut appear t be advertising as the
old tavern siguboaids did "Entertainment
for man and beast." It is trne. undoubtedl),
as Mr. Barnard gats that "1 he people want
plays good, clean, sweet, wholesome, live, dra
matic, linuun plajs. Only In the theater can
they nnd them, it is not rhatpeople are afraid
to see a play. They aro simply afraid that, if
theycerto the theater. the -mar see or hear
that w bich they will neither abide nor forgive.
They are afraid ot the posters and they do not
discriminate between theater and theater, be
tween play and plij. They do uot want oats
and ha j. no matter how artictlcaUy and taste
fully served."
V
Wten Edwin Booth played here last season
the fear w as expressed that it might be his last
appearance here. Subsequent events havo
made the doubt well-nigh a certainty. Booth
aud Barrett will not play together after this
season, although the latter will continue to
Manage the gieat tragedian's business. Next
season Booth will play for IS weeks only, and
these will be divined among ?ew York, Brook
lyn. Philadelphia, Baltimore and ashmgton.
The attractions at the various theaters this
week are verv strong, and the Bijou, Duqnesnn
and Opera Houe have not had better plays
andplajcrs this season than "Shenandoah,"
Rosina Vokes and "The Charity Ball." The
week before Christmas is proverbially one of
the worst in the theatrical calendar, but per
haps the excellence of the fare may draw larger
audiences than usual. The past u eek was fairly
good for all the houses Harris' Theater hav
ing to ue the "standing room only" sura
while the Boslouians plajcd to crowded houses
three or lour nihts at the Dnquesne. Ibe
feature ot the Lotta engagement was the over
flown!,: audience at yesterday's matinee. Ihe
wonderful Craig family and Cleveland's min
strels irew several large audiences at the Opera

The Programme.
Wisome RoaiSA Vokes. with her com
pany of clever platers, will bo with us again
.Mornlaj evening, after an absence of nearly two
cars, and ill begin a week's engagement at
the Buquesne Theater. Miss Vokes possesses
the rare quality of good judement in the selec
tion of plays, and she never presents anything
that is tiresome. As is the custom with this
company, the evening is not tilled with one
plaj, but is agreeablv diversified by the pre
sentation of three. Her repertoire is as fol
lows: Mondaj, lucsday aud ednesdsy nUhts
and at the baturday matiuee, the performance
will bciii with "A Game of Cards," in which
that clever character actor. Felix Morris, will
assume the principal role; "Ihe Circus Rider."

taken from H. J. Byron's "Married in Hastr,"
to bo followed by G. W. Godfreys delightful
comedietta entitled "My Milliner's Bill," in
which Miss Vokes will sing in her inimitable
manner her famous song, "His 'Art Wa 'Iruo
to Poll." and conclude with "The Rough
Diamond," the masterpiece of the ve-eran
an 1 playright, J. li. Bucks.one. Miss Vokes
has surrounded herself with an exceptionally
strong coiupan), which includes the Messrs.
Felix Morns, CourtenayThorpe. GrantStewart,
Ferdinand Gottschalk aud Charles J. Bell; and
tho Misses J-mily Bancker, Marion Kilby and
Eleanor Lane.
The fame of "The Charity Ball," the Lyceum
Theatre success of last season, has long since
reached the notice of the theatre goer of Puts
bnrg. and awakened a special interest in its
coming here. The play is from the pens of
those able j oung writers, Messrs. Bclasco and
DeMille, who have given the public many no
table successes, the most recently remembered
among which are "The Wife" and "Lord
Chumley." "The Chantv Ball" is founded on
the passage of "David Copperfield" relating to
the secrets of Agnes Wickfleld's life. It is said
of it that the comedy is plentiful, the pathos
tender, the language clean and wholesome
throughout, and the story grows in interest
with the ending of each act. Ihe theme, too.

stirring scenes of war arouse the slumbering
patriotism in all, while their realism awakens
the memories of those who have lough for
their country as only they can understand. Mr.
Howard has contrived to dramatize the story of
the late Civil War without introducing any in
cident that might justly wound the senslblittes
of either Northerner or Southerner. It is a
comedy with threads of romance running
through It. The caro with which Mr. Howard
has done all bis work, the delicate treatment
which he has given subjects readily Inviting the
force of exaggeration, and the fine dramatic in
stinct which has enabled htm to invest his
plays with realism, with a series of consectlve
atago successes seem to entitle him to consid
eration as the foremost of American dramatists
of thisdaj.
A DCLIOKTrtri. dramatic and musical enter
tainment will be given at tho Academy Hall,
Wilkinsburg. on next Tuesday evening, by Mrs.
Dr. Simpson assisted by Mr. William B. Mc
Caffcry. of Chicago, and local musical talent.
The programme embraces the letter scene and
sleep walk from "Macbeth," tho trial scene
fiom"Hciry VIII," fie potion scene from
"Konieo and Juliet." the quarrel scene from
Tho School for Scandal." and other fchoico
selections from the best poets and musical
authors.
Manager Hakrt Williams offers tho
Irwin Brothers Specialty show at the Academy
this week. The company includes many well
known variety artists, among whom are Al
Reeves, the.banjoist. Stick aid Zeno, aerial
performers, McCale and Daniels, in Irish
comedy, Alice Thompson, serio comic. Kittle
Wolf, 'harpist, singer 'and' dancer. Mag
gie Collins skipping rope dance, Crawford
and Bowers. Chinese, caricaturists, and Rich
ard Riley -with his performing dog "Jacli" A
good performance may bo expected.
The lectnro which Henry M. Stanley will
give on Monday evening at Old City Hall, will
undoubtedly bring togeberan audience repre
senting Pittsburg in tbo highest and best sene.
It will therefore have an interest in addition to
the creator ono presented by the lecturer aud
his subject. It is worth remembering that this
will be tho only chance Pittsburgers will have
of seeing and hearing Air. Stanley. Reserved
seats may still be obtained at the Prat office.
IlARP.is.Br.iTTOlf ADeanwiII have the great
Gray i Stephens Dramatic Company at their
theater this week. On Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday "The Old Oaken Bucket" will be
presented and for the balance ot the week the
new drama "Vesper Bells."
Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum.
From the zoological garden on the top to tho
handsome little theater on the first floor, -all is
brand-new at the Fifth Avenuo Museum; in
fact. Manager Davis announces that there will
nothing remain tho 'same in the house next
week, except tho prices, which are never
charged. He has succeeded in engaging what
is conceded to be the greatest living curiosity
now known to ihe world. She is called "Rose,
the Wild Girl of Yucatan." Several years
agotbis strance creature was captured run
ning wild. Whether sb had ever known
the haunts of civilization remains a mystery,
a he language that she uses is of an nnkaown
tongue, and her wants can onlv be made known
by signs. In appearance she 'is such that it
would be an .utter impossibility for ono to
describe ber: the formation of her body is so
near akin to the brute creatibnr that it is hard
to conceive of her being a human creature; her
subsistence was that of the leastt of the for
ests, and for a long time after ber capture it
was unsafe to give ber her own freedom: at pres
ent she is tractiblo and has been taught some of
the ways of civilization and shown how to par
take of tho same food asotber humans; to what
race she belongs or what clas of peoplo were
her ancestors or where she came from originally
wonldbeamatterof conjec.uro to the great
Darwin himself. Another novelty new to the
people of Allegheny county wrll be the intro
duction of .Bruno and Brraetin. They are
brutes, and huge ones too.belng two monsterous
bears, yet they possess' intelligence that can
only be termed human: they will do any and
everything almost at .JJie.worsLjif command,
and among their wonderful feats will engace
in a friendly wrestling bout. They wrestle with
one another or will wrestle with any man who
may care to engage in a setto withjthem.
Stage "Whispers.
"After Dark-," W. A Brady's night picture
of London, will soon be seen at the Bijou.
Patricio Roojtey is reported as saying:
"It's a shame to allow John L. Sullivan to
crowd snch actors as me and-Booth out of the
profession."
Elsie Leslie in "Frinceand Pauper" is the
the Christmas attraction at the Grand Opera
House. It is owned by Mr. Daniel Frobman,
of the Lyceum Theater, N. Y.
Mr. and Mrs. Kendal hava done the big
gest business ever known in New York. Their
Xew York engagement of eight weeks resulted
in gross takings or over SM.OOO.' Their average
was over SIO.OOO per w eek.
Eduaed Strauss and his Viennese- musi
cians have not been heard far the last time in
America by any means. They are coming b.-ck
In April tor another and a longer tour that will
take them through the Southwest, California
and Mexico. The trip will last six months.
Sett week Maggie Mitchell, always a great
favonte in Pittsburg, will, as usual, be the
Christmas attraction at the Bijou. Maggie
Mitchell needs no introduction here. She is to
dav no less winsome than when she first won
our applause and admiration. The supporting
compauy this season is considered one ot the
best she has ever had. '.
From Franca comes a gossips story of a suit
brought by a dressmaker, Mme. Tanny Vin
cent, againss the portly but vivacious Mme.
Judic The dressmaker wanti 20,200 francs m
settlement of ber bill. This Is said to include a
large variety of articles, among them being
"invisible night corsets," "luminous' Japanese
petticoats," and other striking unusual luxu
ries. There are conflicting stories about MinnU
Palmer and her husban., John R. Rogers. At
an a-Uhor'u matineu in New York last week
Minnie Palmer appeared greatly surprised
when Rogers threw her a big bunch of roses.
On the other hand, Rogers himself says he in
tends to have their common property sold and
go to Europe, making the separation perma
nent. ,
The Duff Opera Company will begin its en
gagement at the Garden Theater, in New York,
on January 5, appearing In "Dorothy." Mane
Tempest will head the coxnpanyTwblle Charles
Bassett will be the tenor. The "King's Word,"
bv Delibe-s. will probably follow "Dorothy.
It is said that during the engagement the man
agement will produce several works of a light
order at special matinees.
As A matter of fact, Carmencita does not
draw a large salary, says the Mirror. Her
present managers wero 'astute enough to fore
see her success, and they got her on excellent
terms. Their contract holds good till next
Mav. Meantime Carmencita must dance every
night and bebappv and contented with what
she does net. After all, it is a lot of money in
Spain which is one kind of consolation.
AFUTstorjistolclofa star who is now
cheerfullv pirouetting about "the road." She
has i husband, bnt she is mistress of 'the situ
ation. By a recent order ber husbvnd was for
bidden to address a single word to the ladies of
the company. "It is not necessary that you
should speak to them my dear," said the star,
"and so much talking, von- lenouf. ruins their
voices for the stage." This is a -positive fact;
strange as it may seem.
Mr. Lattrexce Barrett, supported by
Miss Gale and a good company, will bo the
Christmas attraction at the Dnquesne Theater.
The repertoire for the week is a brilliant one,
as maybe judged when if is-said thtt Monday
night, "Hamlet?' Tuesday, "Merchant of
Venice;" Wednesday. "Othello;" Christmas
matinee. "Romeo and Juliet;" Christmss
night, "Julius Cxsar:' -Fnaay, night, "Riche
lieu;" Saturday matinee, "Franceses da
Rimiiii;" Saturday night. "RIcnzl."
The McCaull Opera Company is doing re
markably well out West. Slanager Harry
Askin has closed a contract with Digby Bell
and his wife. Laura Joyce Bell, to join the com
piny in Kansas City on the lathunst.. when they
will appear in a revival of "The Blark Hussar."
Helen Bertram also will join tho company in a
few weeks, replacing Lilly Post as prima donna.
The organization will come back East by way
of Denver and St. Louis, and will be seen later
at the Duquesne Theater.
Miss Daisy Kejjdai. Mrs. Kendal's
daughter now in this conntry;-Is described by a
young actress who entertained ber the other
day as a typical English girl, wbos very much
astonished at evervtbingfhe.sees in America,
Sho '-rather likes" America, "however. The
Southern girls she has met here caused her a
good deal of surprise. Sho could not under
stand their languor. TbeiSouthern men, how
ever, she thought were remarkably handsome.
Miss Kendal is not at all theatrical and very
seldom talks of the stage. Mamma is a severe
disciplinarian. j.itA
The chief point of distinction in the handsome
gowns Mrs. Carter wears in the play is their
great variety and her habit of changing them
frequently instead of wearing the same dress
every night in the same act. says the New York
Sxm. The mauve ball gownwith its jeweled
embroideriei, worn on the first night of tho
nlay, was replaced on Friday evening with a
wonderful dress of white crepe.de chine, gleam
ing with gold embroidery and bordered with a
double row of ostrich tips not the conven
tional feather bands, but the full soft tips fall
lng one over the other about tbs skirt, while
two long plumes from the edge of the low-cut
bodice and bunches of tlpi finish the shoulders.
There is aj)ink gown, wrought with coral and
bordered with feathers, festooned over a puff
ing of sort crepe and a wonderful yellow cre
ation veiled with tulle, wrought with gleaming
threads, rnched with yellow roses at the hot-,
torn and finished -with a trail, of j butterflies in
irrldescent metallic colors, flattering Irom one
shoulder across the bodice and down the skirt
on the opposite side.

Muncib, Ikd., Dec. 13. Mrs. Wood
worth, the noted trance evangelist, is con
ducting a series o meetings here. On
Wednesday night Miss Ruth Hughes,
aged 17, went into a trance at the "Wood-worth-
meeting and has since been wholly
unconscious for hours at a time, seemingly
perfectly lifeless. Mrs. Woodworth has ap
pointed bodyguard, with instructions to
permit no person to touch her, claiming
that "God placed her there, and if it is His
command she will recover."
Since G o'clock Wednesday night no
nourishment of any kind has been given the.
girl. Her face is "badly swollen, aud many
tbinC she will die. She went to the altar
from her work when she was struck down.
The girl's father is irate, and sayshe shall
never enter his house. Great excitement
prevails, and force may be used to remove
her irom tbe church.
