Richard Mansfield, ia his three plays last week, showed that he is still the same care ful, conscientious cctor we have come to re Card him. The Dispatch has already re viewed his Beau Brummell, and there is nothing particular to add. He has kept up his pcrlorruance to the high standard he set for it on Monday night, and it seemed a if new beauties could be discovered in it as the week progressed. I think now, as I thought on Monday nlcbt, that Mr. Mansfield's concep tion of the character is peculiarly his own In many respects, although his portrait o the Jcau is in a general way what tradition has Lauded down to us. I must say something more about D. II. Bar tins' Prince of Wales. Here is au impersona tion that could hardly be improved. It wonld Eeem as if Mr. Harkins was born to play this part. Nature has given him the physiognomy that we are accustomed to regard as that of the volatile George for we have seen portraitsand read descriptions of hiui until we think we Ivnow him, and if he Lad stepped out of the be yond to strut his little hour before us, we should expect to see him just as he appeared on the stage of the Grand Opera House last week. Mr. Harkins is a good all-around actor, but he has certainly found his most congenial part In Geoi gt. Prince of Wales. . It has always been a question whether it is well to make the audience part of the stage performance. Sometimes it can be done safely, but as a rule, there is a little unpleasantness connected mth the allowing of an actor to do part of his work m the auditorium. And yet I do not knou that anything but fun resulted Irom a proceeding of thU sort at the Duquesne Theater last week. An old gentleman, who might have been a well-to-do manufactuier or merchant, sat in one of the private boxes. Sud denly he exclaimed that one ot the anecdotes told by the "end man" was a funny now as it waslOjears ago. Then theiewasa running flr of repartee between the actors on the suee and the occupant of the box. until the old gentleman stepped out of the box upon the stage aiid joined in a wildly hilarious tbreak don" with the nther characters. Tiie effect w as simply marvelous. V Maude Granger Is now in the forty-fifth con secutive week ol her tour in Lucy Hooper and Jtichard Dave"s play "Inherited." The play was originally produced in Pans -n July 4, 1SS0, underthe title of L'Heritage d'Helene," and the performance was for the benefit of the Johnstown flood sufierer. Miss Granger pre sents the play m Johnstown nest Tuesday night. She is now en route from Philadelphia to Chirsco. and will probably be seen in Pitts burg later in the season. w Mr. E. W. Vaincy. a New York manager, writes us: "Anions the big productions for next season will be the "Vendetta," in which Mr. W. A. 'Whltecar will plav the leading role. Ihe scenic and mechanical effects will be very elab orate. Amoc; the novel features will be a col lision of ocean steamships and the burning of the City ot Pans. The company ill be very strong. Among others I have already engaged Miss Laura Aliuosuino. Edward Warren (who will stage manage the piece). Miss Jewel Sheri dan and Mrs. Harry Bloodgood. Season opens at ludsor Theater, ew York, August Si. The play will be seen in Pittsburg later in tho season." It has been often said of Fin Reynolds the favorite young Pittsburg comedian, that if the opportunity was ever given him, his natural ability a an actor would become manifest to the theater-going public. A chance to display liis cleverness prei-ented itself last Monday night at McKeoport. when with but a few hoars' notice he was compelled toasiume the part of Jonah m "A Brass Monkey." This character, plajed .o adimrahlv bv .Mr. George Marion atthe Duquesne. will be remembered as one of great importance, and upon the promptitude of Mr. Keynolds'faction depended the continuance cf the play. With but little preparation and no rehearsal, depetiding en tirely upon the knowledge of the play that he had picked up while waiting In the "wings"' at difierent times during the season, he cave an unusually fine performance, to good. In fact, that cry few were aware of the change. Itijou Theater. Around Alexander Dumas' beautiful drama of "The Corsican Brothers," which the talented younc actor. Robert Maiitelt, is to revive in spectacular form at the Bijou Theater to-morrow evening, cling memories and traditions dear to the heart of the reflective playgoer. The romantic drama may be losing its bold upon the tensioned nerves of the present time; the forms of elm airy may have given w ay to the abrupter usages of a practical age; personal vengeance may have been consigned to the archives of mediasval history; but the actor who can grace the personage and the theme of romance, who can please the eye and ear and never offend the artistic instinct, will always be a potent figure on the mimic stage so long as love rules and honor has a name. The pioduction Mr. Man ttll gae of this fascinating old-time heroic drama last season was generally commended. Possibly never before in tho history of the play bad it been so magnihcently staged and cos tumed. The handsome scenery, froigcous cos tumes, brilliant calcium light effects and me chanical appliances which were used in this representation added a charm to the drama that it would be difficult to desenbe. Aside irnm the pictorial embellishments with which Mr. Augustus i-itou, wuo is iir. Mantclls manaccr. had surrounded "The Corsican Brothers, he also engaged a competent dra matic companv to interpret its various char a ters and from beginning to end the perform ance was an enjoyable one. As Louis and Jibien iln Fraiichi. the twin heroes, Mr. Man tell is seen at the height of his powers and his impersonation of these complex characters, is one not tasiiy forgotten. His duel with Chaltau Iteitauil in the forest of Fontambleau and his death scene in the last act are both masterpieces of hue acting and were greatly enjoyed by theater patrons in this city. The present production of "The Corsican Bro hers" will be similar to that given in this city by Mr. Mantell a year aso, excepting that the specialties introduced in the masquer ade hall will be new. Theso Include the gro tesque artists and pantomimisti, the three Lor ellas, in their unique dances, the well-known Davenport Brothers in their oritnnal acrobatic acts, and many o.her equally clever performers In arious specialties. Among the leading members of Mr. Mantell' company are the Mis-es Charlotte Behrens, Minnie Monk, Marie Sheldon and Messrs. Mark Price, Cuy Lmd slcy, B. T. Ringgold and C. W. Vance. "The Corsican Brothers" will be plaed throughout the week, including the usual Wednesday and Saturday matiness. Daquesue Theater. The Jefferson-Florence Company will appear at the Duquesne this week in "The Rivals" and "The Helr-at-Law." Jefferson will do Hob Acres and Dr. I'anglos. and Florence Sir Lucius O Trigger and Ezekicl Homespun. The company will be nearly the same as last heas'in, but with F. C. Bangs instead of Varney. Grand Opera House. To-morrow evening Denman Tbompion'i "The Old Homestead" opens Its annual engage ment at this house, and will be seen every evening and at the regular matinees. There is very reason to expect that the attendance will be much larger than wat accorded the pre sentation last year. Davla' Museum. For the first time tn the history of this conn try all the midgets that are known to the United States will assemble in convention at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum during the com WW I wnWm ing week. People may have seen one, two or three midgets at once, but to see them alto gether, with a liliputian President, Secretary, and all the officers necessary to organize a great deliberate body, will certainly be an oddity. Amonc the celebrities who will be present, and who ure well known as tho smallest people in the world, are Major Atom, whose age is 21 years and height 31 inches, and who Is a hand pome and cute liltlo comedian; Commodore Foot and sister. Miss Kmma Neslet, very intel ligent little people from Indiana, whose com bined height is hardly that of an ordinary man; the German Rose comos from Prussia she is handsome and a vocalist, actress and musical artist. The smallest married couple known to exist are the dele gates. Major Littlctinger and wife. They will euliven the convention by introducing their troupe of trained birds. Isew York desires to claim the prize for having the smallest midget present, and sends Lena Moretz; while Ken tucky sends the bright little Annie Nelson. These arc among the most prominent who will be present, but in addition there will be many lesser lights, and Manaccr Davis extends an invitation to all small people to occupy a seat in the convention. In the theatoriuma num ber ot new artists will appear, including the Downies, in their feather balancing, ladder and spade dancing; the ICasten Sisters, Dono van and DuPois, in their new act entitled, "Is Marriage a Failure?" the Irish comedian, Mr. Jonn M. Traynor; tho burlesque juggler, Fred Knottier, and a number of others. World's Museum. At the World's Museum and Theater the coming week, in the long list of first-class at tractions which are advertised probably the most exciting and funniest wrestling match ever seen by anyone will take place at each performance between a Chicago butcher weigh ing 423 ponnds and a Milwaukee brewer weigb inc 433f pounds. The mammoth proportions of these men will appear to advantage in tights while struggling for mastership, the ludi crousness of the contest and the inevitable awkwardness of the contestants will render a scene never to be forgotten. Miss Millie Zuletta, who has the only troupe of trained doves in the world, will be tbero; as also Frank Hattou, with his wonderful mechanical scenes on the Mississippi scenes w hicli almost make one believe that he is on the banks of that mighty river and really witnessing the events portrayed. All these and other interesting ob jects. In the theater the romantic actor, Mr. Clarence Bennct, and the talented little come dienne. Miss Mand Bcnnet, supported by a strongdrainatic company, in tho romantic Mex ican drama, "A Koyal Slave." Ilarry Williams' Academy. Tho City Club's Burlesque Company will be at the Academy this week. Its manager says of it: "It comprises all the successful and at tractive elements of a gorgeous pantomine, the programme being a thorough one. The curtain rises on a magnificent 'opera bouffe,' arranged by Harry Morris and Fred Solomon, called "Studies la Black," because all the characters in the opera are attired in black satin costumes, designs from the various Shakespearean creations, which comprises the entire compauy in witty dia logues, piquant repartee, original vo cal selections and grand choruses The principal roles are assmned by Miss Annie Livingston, formerly Mrs. J. S. Sullivan. Miss Fannie Everett, Kittv ells and Mesrs. Bryant Everett and Kooney. The olio con tains many celebrated artists who have achieved fame on both sides of the comment. Harris' Theater. A new star to Pittsburg will be seen here this week. Miss Susie Howard. She is a talented young soubrette, and will appear in a strong melodrama entitled. "Nell, the Wall." Miss Howard assumes six different characters. A KOYAL WEEK IN LONDON. Theatrical and Operatic Gossip From the British Metropolis. London. March 7. Owing to the presence of the Court in London and the drawingroom jnst held and the Princo of Wales' levee,which is to be held Monday, this has been a truly "royal week" for the theaters of the metropolis. The boxes nightly have been graced with the pres ence of more or less important royalties or other people of rank and title. The Prince and Princess of Wales yesterday evening honored with their presence the St. James Theater, where Haddon Chambers' The Idler" has been tho success of the week, though Mrs. Landry refused to accept that plav in favor of Charles Coghlan's "Lady Barter." "Jack" Mason has made a decided hit in tho character which he assumes in the pin. Contrary to general expectation, after the first representation of the piece, Charles Cogh lan's "Lady Barter," at the Princess Theater, with Mis. Langtrv in the title role, has been tho success of the week, eclipsing oven "The Idler." Henry Irving's revival of "Charles L" at the Lyceum Theater on the first of next month will! undoubtedly bo a most interesting event. Mr. Irving annouces that "Charles L" will be followed at the Lvceum by a revival of Bouci canlt's "Corsican Brothers." Mrs. Langtrv, it is said, is so pleased with the success of Coghlan's "Lady Barter" that she will try her luck with "Jocelyn," arother play from the pen of the gifted author-actor. "Jocelyn," of course, will not be produced un til "Lidy Barter" has run its course and is slowing up in its ability to attract the guineas of the Londoners. The Echo of this city suggests that Bronson Howard should adapt "Shenandoah" to lines taken from the time ot the Commonwealth, so as to allow English plajgoers to witness this masterpiece. Miss .Mary Anderson (Mrs. Navarro) has cre ated some stir in theatrical circles here by ad vertising the sale of all her stage dresses, the atrical scenery and stage properties, thus con firming the announcement that it is her inten tion to retire definitely from the stage. Hereafter there is every reason to believe Gilbert and Sullivan will collaborate in the production of operatic works for the Savoy Theater. The Leeds Festival Committee has offered commissions to Johannes Brahms, the musical composer, and to Sir Arthur Sullivan, to write choral works for the Leeds Musical Festival of 1S92. Piano forte concerts under the direction of Herr Burmcister, the musical chief of lbs Pea body Institute of Baltimore, were given to-day atthe Crystal Palace, the composer's wife be ing the chief performer. Stage Whispers. Sims Reeves will sing his last song In public in London on May 1L Edwin Booth is in excellent health and spirits and is acting with all his old time vigor. I- Nellie McHcnry's new play, by H. Grat tan Donnelly, she will appear in a dual role, a circus rider and a governess. It is said that Sol Smith Russell will present a dramatic version of Mark Twatn's "Yankeo at the Court of King Arthur" next season. "Sport McAllister," is the title of Bobby Gajlor's new farce eouiedy, which is to be pro duced next season under the direction of Will iam A. Brady. Thermidor" is to be undertaken in Paris again. When recently interrupted there was a cash advance sale of nearly $100,000, all of which had to De refunded. Miss Fanxy Rice, who has been prominent ly connected with all the Casino's successes for the past three years, will star next season un der the STrauairement of H. S. Taylor, appcar inc in a new and original musical extravaganza entitled "Everything Goes." Is "The Struggle of Life." in which Freder ick Paulding is to star next season, the hand some young actor will plav the part of a light comedy hero. He will be supported by an ex cellent company of actors and actresses. Mrs. Langtry is about due for an Ameri can tour. She has lost a large sum on ber pro duction of "Antony and Cleooatra," and ber & reduction of Charles Coshlan's play of "Lady arter" last week was hissed. America is the only refuge for bad actors and actresses. Following the Jefferson-Florence engage ment at tho Duquesne comes pretty, chic Minnie Palmer, "My Sweetheart," in her new comedvby Carles Foote and Charles Klein, "A Mile a Minute." The ponular Wednesday matinee dispensed with during the Jefferson week will be given then. "Having conquered Chicago," as Mrs. Les lie Carter says, she will close her season at Kansas City next week. She has, of course. lost money nothing short of S30.000 but she has shown herself to be an artiste of unques tionable ability, ajid somo morning we will wake up and find that she is as good an actress as America has yet produced. It is announced that Prof. Felix Adlcr, of New York, founder of the "Society for Ethical Culture," is booked to deliver a lecture in Car negie Music Hall Wednesday. March 18, Prof. Adler has never before visited this city, and this will be the only chance to hear him, as It is said he leaves for Europe in May to es tablish a school of ethical culture. The following Inregard to Dills Akerstrom, who is to follow the "Old Homestead" at the Grand Opera House is. from the New York Turf, Held and Farm of Miy 17, 18S9: "She Is nndonbtedly destined to reach a high position. She is equal to any ot the soubrettes with whom she intent be classed, and who havo become known in Europe and America." HORSFOKD'S ACID PHOSPHATE. A Healthful Tonic Used in place of lemons or lime juice it will harmonize with such stimulants as are neces sary to take. mmfm ivl Last Monday evening the Library Com mittee of Allegheny Councils tendered the use of the Carnegie Art Galleries to the Pittsburg Art Society for a loan exhibition. Previous to the loan exhibition the recep tion in honor of Mr. Charles S. Keinhart will be held in the galleries, instead of the Academy of Science and Art building, as was originally intended. The reason for this change is the inadequate size of the Academy building, it being practically im possible to get all Mr. Hcinhart's works into the parlors of that building. The Keinhart reception has no connection whatever with the loan exhibition, other than that which arises from the fact of Mr. Eeinhart's hav ing very kindly consented to allow his works, which will be assembled here, to re main in the galleries after the reception and form an important part ol the loan collec tion. Indeed, so large and important is the .Keinhart collection of paintings and draw ings that they constitute a notable and im pressive collection in themselves. To these will be added some of the pictures recently purchased in Pittsburg. It will be seen, therefore, that art lovers hereabouts are promised another rare treat and one which they will be given ample time to enjoy as the collection will be open to the public for at least 30 days. Art students will find here a roost valuable aid to study, and the deliberation with which they will be al lowed to examine the various works, owing to the lone continuance of the exhibition, will prove most helpful. Indeed, this is one of the secrets of acquiring a knwlcge of pictures, the deliberate and repeated study of good works. Once, twice, a dozen times are often not enough to enable one to thoroughly examine a good work. It is by re turning again and again that the real meaning of an artist is understood and the finer quali ties of-the work apprehended. Herein lies tne value of a loan exhibition to any community. . The Hazeltino collection continued through out the week at Gillespie's, and attracted many art lovers to the gallery. New pictures by Madsazo and Weeks were added or. Friday last. It is almost certain that a number of these excellent canvases will remain to enrich our rapidly growing collection of pictures. w The great art event of the past week in New York was the exhibition of the collective works of William M. Chase. Mr. Chase is not unknown, through bis works, in Pittsburg. John Caldwell owrs one of his superb marina sketches entitled "The Port of Antwerp." and a remarkable sketch head by the famous American is the property of the Pittsburg Art School, and hangs in the life class room of that institution as an exponent of the Munich School nf Paintinc. Mr. Chase's works, which included both oil and pastelie pictures, wern hung in the beautifm. Avery Gallery, on Fifth avenue, and number 67. The New York Press has this to say of, the ariist and his works: "Few American artists appear to so great .d vantage as Mr. Chase in exhibitions of theii own work even granted that they are clever. His versatility enables him to display not only landscapes, but marines, and not only portraits, but still life in fact, aii)tlung that his fancy seizes upon as a good subject. Naturally such a variety interests tho observer and nothing becomes tiresome. The visitor to the Chase exhibition Is in sympathy with the pictures at once. He feels inclined to say: 'I knew Mr. Chase's work was good, but this seems really extraordinary.' Not that lhereis so much that is new, tor the truth is, many of the canvases have already been seen: but they all harmonize so well with each other, and have so much advantage from the space offered in the two rooms, that they create a new enthusi asm. In the expression of all that is beautiful in color Mr. Chase reigns supreme. He reve s in darintr and impressive schemes of red and pink and yellow and black, and if he sometimes almost upsets one's equilibrium it Is only to cause a greater admiration when the natural poise has been regained. Ills art is to ne leu more in his arrangement of color and in the natural grace and ea-e of his compositions than in anything else. These aro very attractive features of art, and Mr. Chase has very right fully won a large circle of admirers." The Russian painter Verestchagin is busily at work upon a series of illustrations to a forth coming history of the Russian Empire. The name ot the historian is not given, and perhaps it is not of very much importance, as Verest chagin's pictures are to be the great attraction of the work. The early chapters of Russian history, if not indeed the whole of it, win sup ply attractive matter to the painter, in whose imagination fields of ice and whitened skulls seem to hold a prominent place. T The exhibition at Keppel's, in New York, which will extend to March 21, is of etchings, dry paints and drawings by Alpbonse Legros, a man who, at the age of 54. is but now beginning to be looked upon by the public as a great art ist, although his talent was recognized by bis associates some years ago. Legros, although a Frenchman by birth, went to England to live in 1S63. and soon after became naturalized. He has for many years filled the dignified post of Slade Professor of Art ac the University of London. The able etcher, William Strang, a collection of whose work has recently been on exhibition in New York, is one of his pupils. The Salmagundi Club opened an exhibition of paintings in black and white at the club house, 49 West Twenty-second street. New York, yesterday. The works will remain on exhibition until Saturday evening, March It The art committee of the Salmagundi consists of Francis C. Jones, Percy Morau. A. M. Tur ner, Charles Mentc. Alexandor Schilling and George H. Gait. Every member of the clnb has been invited to contribute. The paintings will be collected from the studios to-morrow. Mr. George Storms exhibits this week a land scape, in which is seen a gracefully curving river. m H. S. Stevenson has been commissioned to paint a portrait of the late H. II. Byram. Avery carefully painted picture of cows and landscape, by Mr. Herman Baker, ot New York, was seen at Bovd's during the week. A camera could scarcoly produce cattle with more fidelity. A li tie more breadth would probably be preferable. A The Amateur Art Association held its annual meeting last Tbursdav and the election re sulted in placing Miss Henderson in the presi dental chair. t H. Wnnderlich & Co. are exhibiting a col lection of oil paiutings and pastels by J. H. Twachtman at their gallery, No. 63 Broadway, New York. Mb. Winslow Homer has on exhibition in New York four important paintings which have attracted general attention because of their great originality and force. Of the most important one tho New York Sun has this to say: "But there still remains Mr. Homer's fourth picture, which, although nut quite suc cessful as a whole, perhaps contains a more marvelous bit of palming than either of the others. This, which is called "By the Summer Sea," shows part of a wooden platform, close to the edge ot the water, upon which a couple of girls are dancing, while a group of other figures further awav looms in flat black silhou ette against the surf. Beyond the surf comes a line oi cloudy, tossing water, where a reel lies just below the surface, and then a far placid expanse with tho pathway of the moon, herself Invisible, cutting across in almost inky blue. It Is here that we see the best that Mr. Homer can do. .Hia figures do not interest us, and we almost wish them out of the way that we might more wholly enjoy bis beautiful sea. Never bas snch an effect been painted more truth fully or impressively, yet never more boldly and unconventionally.'' The efforts of Emperor William to create a more friendly relation between the German and French nations has met with a serious check at the bands ot the French artists. It was at first thought the painters wonld waive their bitter hatred of the German Government H. 1 . -. " s y pUX "V-. YiT rM JJ r Xfl 0. and consent to exhibit at the Berlin Exhibition. Detallle announced Friday that It would not be patriotic to carry out his original intention of exhibiting there, adding that no artist who is a Frenchman will be represented. Constant also refuses. The widow of Meissonier refuses to exhibit any of ber late husband's works and says that since the Franco-Prussian War no German ever crossed the threshold of her hus band's studio. Seeing it was not the present Emperor who thrashed tho French in 1S70, be is at least personally entitled to and will re ceive courteous treatment at the hands of the French painters who have been invltod by him to exhibit at Berlin. w A "Reader" wants to know "who is the greatest living male artist of any nationality?" Ho Is too npmerous to mention. It is not a fair question, anvwav, because it the name of one were given all the others would stop their sub scription. Cancers. Thousands of cancers are permanently re moved by entirely new and original methods without pain, loss of blood, or the use of plaster or knife. For book on cancer (sent free) address Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O. De. S. B. Habtmak, President. Don't Neglect a Cold. The New Haven News says: "Perhaps the best advice that can be given on ap proach of the bothersome influenza is, 'Don't neglect a cold.' In its symptoms, at least, the influenza is an aggravated cold, and the only danger attached to it is that by its weakening effect on the system it may in vite other and more distressing maladies. So in the first place, avoid catching a cold, butifvoudo catch one, then stay at home and take care of it." To the above we would add, "until entirely well," as the greatest danger is just when recovering from the disease, and if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken as directed for a severe cold tou will find it necessary to remain at home but a few days.
