Tlie above are the tbeatr ical attractions for
this week.
.
It seems that Joseph Jefferson has a
glorious opportunity to delve into the best
of dramatic literature. There is hardly any
great part in any great play that he cannot
assume and make a creation. He has shown
that in his work already. Ten years ago his
name was associated with that of the vaga
bond of the Catscills, and no one thought of
him in connection with a whole suit of
clothes least of all as attired in the evening
dress of a Mr. GohgliXly or the embroideiy
and lace ruffle of a Bob Acres. Yet now
that he has pot into the liabit of playine
such parts, it is h-ird to imagine him as Sip
Van Wtnlle or Caleb Mummer until he
actually walks upon the stage in those
characters. Looking at Jlr. Jefferson lat
week as Hob Acres or Or. Pangloss, no one
could see why he should be thinking of re
tiring from the stage. His step was as
light and springy as anv vouth, and
hi voice as clear ami powertul as if be had not
reached the rong side of thirty. Wliv should
he retire? Why should he not rather look
through his dramatic Iibrarv ana bring forth
one, two, half a dozen of old plavs that have
been practicallj shelved for a qnirter of a
century or so. and give n a new Jeffersonlan
reading of the principal comedy part? His
Jtob Acre &nd Dr. J'anglou are distinctively
his own Now let him infuse his delightful
personality into other classics, but never let
him talk about retiring from the stage for 20
years to come at least.
Who that sees Florence on the stage can fail
to recognize in him the"Billj" who is known
from one end of the continent to the other as
everj bodj's friend. The good nature we see
Inevervliteamflntof his jolly face as itriuciui
O'T (goer is the expresion of Billy" Florence
in private life, and it sits very easilv and
sweetly on hi countenance. Vhenver Jeffer
son finds an old plav to he revivified, there will
alwars be a part in it for Florence. Let us
hope so, at all events.
,
Robert Mantell has had a hard week of it.
As The DtsrATCU stated exclasnely last
Tuesday he had two doctors on tne stage
throughout the performance on Monday night.
His ailment was laryngitis. The same story
was repeated all the week. It was onlv by the
Cieicise of indomitable will power, assisted by
the unremitting attention of physicians, that
he as able to carrv out his engagement at the
Aijnu. iisi ngn', alter tne curtain had fallen,
hp was completely exhausted. He will goto
New ork to-night for treatment ami his com
panj will lay off for a week at ieaL It is jo si
bie that the tour will not be resumed this sea
Eon It is more thn likely, however, that the
courage which enabled Mr. Mantell to play all
the week against such fearful odds will induce
him to go on the road again so soon as bis throat
has at all recovered from the fearful strain It
has endured for the past sis da s.
I have received a biographical sketch of
Clarence Bennett, who appeared at the World's
Museum last week in the Koal Slave." It
reads as follows:
"Clarence Bennett is the son of a Baptist
clergyman. Rev. Perry Bennett, of Springfield,
Ilk. who,Jthou;h possessing talents that would

Palmer, and the mart red President, Abraham
.Lincoln. With the latter it was j Damon and
Pvtliian friendship oi liic-long duration, and
"Perr"and "Abe." as the addiesed each
other with the tamiliarit of bo . w ere so in
separable their lneuds called them The Iw
ana the Prophets." It was under such influ
ences the future actor passed bis boyhood
dajs, and at the age of 18 graduated
from college, pas ing his own way by teaching
and literar work for various mag.zines.
Having completed his college course he
struck at once lor the goal of his ambition, the
stage, securing his first engagement in the
stock at McVieker's Theater, Chicago, where
he remained three years, devoting all his spare
time to stud, working his way ranidly
tow ard the front rank in his profession, leav
ing there lor an engagement as leading man on
the Western circuit with the well known and
successful star. H A Kendall, playing Fautt
to the litter's itcphisto, Richmond to bis Jticti
ardJIL.etc Alter twojears experience in a
wide rasge of characters, be came East and
soon won his way into popular favor as a faith-
im exponent oi romantic and tragic roles.
While laboring so faithfully in his art his pen
was not idle, and he has now m press a volume
of poems that are worthy to take a hi,rh rank In
literature, besides which be is the author of
seven successful plas. Hehasalso turned bis
attention to a kindred art, painting, in which
he has been equally successful, some of his
worksbeing thought w or hy of a place by the
side of those of the best artists of the day.

A special cablegram to The Dispatch says:
The production of Arclier's translation "of
Ibsen's play, "Ohosts," at the Royalty Theater
last evening has aroused a storm of dissension
In the London press to-dav. bcarcely a single
critic has anything to say lor the play from
either an artistic or moral point of riew, and
nio:t of the leader writers condemn it, though
the Pall Mall Gazette considers It should have
a healthful effect upon modern socic y. Ihe
Telcg ph, however, devnti-s a column' leader
to rending Ibsen and "Ghosts" into tatters and
lnvolf Lord Chamberlain to prevent a further
performance, winding up thus: Even the Lady
oi the Cauielias, that hectic bat lot, coughed
her frail soul away with fome external
propriety, but Ibsen's patients expectorate
If we may venture to say so, in public and air
on the rtage matters that a blind beggar would
bide under bis patches. In the name of out
raged art let these people, author, actors and
admirers alike, keep to themselves their cluneal
confesslnrs and scenes which appertain to mer
cury rather than to muse Ir their intellectual
food be such literary carrion let them devute it
apart; but. in whatever measure they bring
their crapulous stuff into ihe light of day and
within the range of the senses of honest and
wholesome folk, we trust that public opinion,
backed, if neeessary. by the law, will in that
measure rebuke and restrain the novel and
perilous nuisance."
Duqnene Theater.
A comedr-oelodrama will be the novelty of
fered for the patrons of the Unqneine Theater
nextwek entitled "A Mile a Minute." ItU
thus described in an Eastern paper:
"It ll a play of love and crime, with an effer
vescent beorlne la the person of A'ellie Sparkle,
.a young woman who interrupts the thickest
section of the plot with cheerful songs and
dances, and as this versatile female is imper
sonated by that dainty soubrette, Minnie
Palmer, It follows that ber audiences regard
her with keen interest and encourage her with
their emphatic approval. To the merits of the
drama are added the distinct value ot
a modern stage realism that is well
conceived and smoothly executed. It is
a representation of a flying railroad
en'nne, and it comes in an exciting period of
the story, so that us effect is heightened. The
copy of the real iron horse is close. There is a
display ofrapid revolving wheels real steam,
a shrill whistle and a quickly moving panorama
of scenervtbat delichttbp spectators and de
serve the"cnrtain calls that it usuallv receives.
Minnie Palmer's share in its success is greater
than of any oiher member of this competent
company, bhc isreanired to display heroism.
vocalism ami terpsiciiorean mviii at aueruaie
moments, and she f ulflHs her task. She sings
divinely, nnd whether in blonde wig and short
dress or in swallow tail and crush hit, she is a
dainty thing to gaze on. hlio is ably assisted
by Charles Coote, an English comedian, late of
Cora Tanner's companj. The drama is well
staged. It has one -cene representing the
famous Argyie rooms of London, in which a
number of excellent specialties are introauced.
Of all the oubrette indeed, premier of tins
class of stage women Mionia Palmer I with
out doubt the one who is representatively
American; the one whose talents have been de
voted most entireb and exclusively to the in
terpretation of the works of American autiiois.
She has in London, all over England and in
Australia presented with conspicuous success
several comedies of native authorship which
have gained high favor in both the
mother country and the antipodes. "My
Sweethart." has. In fact, become almost syn
onymous with the name of the dainty little
woman who has so often portrayed its leading
character, and tbouzb she is no lonser to tbe
American public "My Sweetheart," by virtue
of her long association witli.the tender name,
she has come to be retarded almost as "Ev
ervbodt's bweethcart."
As JTellie Spadcle, in "A Mile a Minute,"
Miss Palmer appears in a character different
from any of tho.e with which the Pittsburg
public are familiar. The role is that of a sou
brette. a real oue, in private life, ana the situa
tions offer everj opnortunitv for the display of
that wonderful versatility of talent of which
"Our Minnie" is mistress absolute. Of course
she introduces a lot of clever specialties sou
brettes always do and as Minnie can sing,
dance and be the hoden or the lady with
eaual facility, the possibilities are pleasant in
anticipation.
Bljoa Theater.
The production of "Money Mad" atthe Bijou
to-morrow night will doubtless be an event of
more than ordinary interest and the principal
theatrical novelty of the week. The reputa
tion of its author, Steele Mackaye. and the
phenomenal success of the play in New York
are sufficient guarantees of tbo merit of the
play and assures a liberal patronage during
the engagement, "Money Mad" was firs't pro
duced at the close of last season at the Stand
ard Theater, New York, and created the most
favorable impression and had a prosperous run
of 100 eights. This season it has been played
in and aronnd New York the whole season and
is now fillinc engagements in a fewof the ptin
cipal Western cities duplicating the metro
politan success and attracting crowded houses.
Itlssaid to be written in the warm, powerful
st)le of other Mackaye plays and to have those
elements of dramatic strength and construc
tion which made his "Hazel Kirke" and "Paul
Kauvar" so deservedly popular ana gave him a
place second to none amoug our
dramatic authors. "Money Mad" is de
scribed as a melodrama of the
highest type and is said to be an illustration of
the rapid para at which many lives are lived in
these hurrying, bustling days of the present
time and of the scramblefor wealth and posi
tion. It is a powerful satire on the creed of
stock brokers, railroad kings and other grasp
ing monopolists, and deals with the pernicious
influences of humanity's prevailing sin the
love of gold and the somewhat trite moral is
thai the worship of the god.Marnmon.wllI blunt
the finest instincts and drive men to madness
and crime. The plot of the Pay is said to be 1
strong witn inc interest wen sustained, xascin
ating in development and replete with thrilling
scenes and reflective climaxes. Scene follows
scene with swift impetuositv and the characters
are drawn with vigor, individuality and pict
uresquenesS. V hen Mackaye wrote "Money Mad" he evi
dently realized the public demand for realistic
effects and naturalness on the stage, and that
to compete with the sensational effects of the
imported melodrama he must draw heavily on
the resources of the stage carpenter and scene
painter, so as the action of the play takes place
in Chicago be arranged a highly realistic
bridge scone, a reproduction In fact of
the Clark street bridge which spans the busy
river that runs through the city by the lake.
This scene it not a painted drop, buta veritable
structure In itself, and -even in New York
where audiences are accustomed to the most
elaborate staging of plays, this scene was con
ceded to be the most remarkable example of
stage carpentering ever sbown there. Nym
Crinkle, the well-known critic of the New York
World, said of the scenic effects: "The success
oi tne venture was made sure ny tne powerful
realistic scenes, whose intensity and prodigious
mechanical audacity wrought the audience to
all the imported sensations in English melo
drama can compare m structural audacity an 1
pictorial effectiveness with the bridge scene it
"Money Mad." The. very idea of swinging a
causeway at least 60 feet in length across a
stage for the passage of a steamer SO feet Ion.
will All the average theatergoer with wonder
and admiration for months."
The management promise the original scen
ery and mechanical effects here, the same that
wcie used in the metropolitan production and
which created such a furore in Sew York. Tho
company carries a carload ot scenery,
and owing to the heavy and compli
cated nature of the mechanism of ihe
famous bridge scene two complete sets are car
ried, oue to be sent on ahead and placed in po
sition. The master machinist of tne company
has been in town the past week with his assist
ants, preparing the stage of the Bijou for the
presentation of the play this weeK, and nothing
will be left undone to give a first-class perform
ance m every respect.
Ihe company is an excellent one, and the cast
consists ot the following well-known artists: J.
F. Urien, William V. Hannus, Adolph Jackson,
lien Hendricks, btephen Grattan. V. D. Co li
ners, Ada Chamberlain, Kate Toncray, Mary
Bird, Lizzie Mulvey.
Grand Opera House.
A young actress, a stranger, except by repu
tation, to the playgoers of this city, will make
her tirst appearance at the Grand Opera House
to-morrow night. This latest aspirant for the
favor of amusement lovers is Miss TJllie Aker
strom, who is to present her play, "Annette,
the Dancing Girl," for the first time here. For
the last few seasons Miss Akerstrom has been
winning her way to a recognized position
among popular favorites. Beginning compara
tively unknown and unheralded, she has ob
tained recognition, and has now attained
a position which, according to her mana
ger, entitles her to rank with the best
cnmeaiennes of the day. bhe possesses the at
tractive features, in an artistic way. of several
delineators of soubrette roles who have be
come famous, supplemented by an individu
ality entirely her own.
Her ease, grace and agility combine to make
her, according to criticisms passed upon her
performances in other places, the best dancer
on the American stae to-day.
She possesses all the requisites of a success
ful aurcss, an expressive, childlike face, a
slender girlish figure and an artless manner
that nuts her at ouce en rapport with her
audience.
Iu her opening play. "Annette, the Dancing
Girl," Miss Akerstrom issjen to good advant
age. The piece has been specially constructed
tar tne display ot ner peculiar anilities.
The scenes of her play are laid in New Orleans,
on shipboard and iu Havana, and afford oppor
tunities for picturesque stage effects. "An
nette" will be seen until Thursday night, when
it gives way to another of Miss Akerstrom's
plays entitled "A Little Busybody," which fills
oat the week.
