CRAKE A SUCCESSFUL SENATOR.

TARIETT IN MANX ATTEACT1YE FORMS
Alter the flood of worthless plays and had
actors from which Pittsburg has suffered of
late the advent of such a play as "The Sen
ator" and such an actor as William H.
Crane is a blessing of no small dimensions
to theater-goers. Pittsburg has a chance
now to recover from the attacks of the the
atrical grippe, of which the "influence"
and the "fashions" appear to have been
alike dangerous and disagreeable.
"The Senator" was produced last night
with every desirable adjunct in the wy of
scenery and cast at the Duquesne Theater.
It is the New York production in very
truth, and it need hardly be said, a ery
finished performance. The play is clever;
its plot ingenious and interesting, and es
sentially American in local color, in inci
dents and characters. The Capitol at Wash
ington impends upon the play; you see
its white dome through the windows
of one scene, and the interior of
one of the Senate committee rooms is repro
duced in another scene with remarkable
reality. In fact, the play is Washington
Congressional life slightlv caricatured. The
late David D. Lloyd and Sidney Eosenfeld
are its authors, and they deserve the
former in greater measure credit for having
made an American play without leaving
the country to borrow materials, manners,
or men. Tne Chinese Secretary of Legation
and the Austrian diplomats are foreigners
to be sure, but they domiciled in Washing
ton and very familiar figures in society at
the capital.
In the very plain and natural story about
which the play is built Sir. Crane etands
ont boldly as a representative American a
Western Senator such as occasionally slip
into the "Millionaires Club" by accident or
popular tidal wave. Mr. Crane is entirely
at home in the character; his attributes are
those of Senator Ricers, and hi! voice, his
manner and his temperament enable him to
give a manliness, a rugged virtue and charm
to the impersonation which entitle it to a
high place in the gallery of American stage
creations. The .Senator RU ers of Mr. Crane
will rank with the Bardwell Slole of Flor
ence, and indeed it i& a companion picture
to some extent
The company surrounding Mr. Crane is
exceptionally strong, and the play douutless
owes not a little of its charm to the com
pleteness of the presentation. Miss Hattie
Russell gave a delightful picture of a
young widow of highly developed sus
ceptibility and great heart. The natural
volatility of Miss Russell's manner is
very amusing, and kbe resisted with great
bravery the temptation to exaggerate which
overcame one or two of her associates.
Mr. Herbert, for instance, mars slightly
a capital delineation of an explosive scamp,
very common in Washington, by magnify
ing the humorous high lights, and Henry
Braham, as Baron Ling Ching, also over
does the Mongolian emotions a little. Miss
Katharine Florence is very sweet and
gracious as the heroine, Mabel Denman,
and the work of Miss Annie O'Neill, Mr.
Devere, Mr. Ifrawley and Mr. Bergman
may be classified as artistic in a high de
gree. KOBE THAN BUZZ SAWS
To Recommend the True Picture of life
in Arthur's "Dine Jeans."
Joseph Arthur has stepped out as a dram
atist with a capital D in "Blue Jeans"
which was given for the first time in Pitts
burg at the Bijou Theater last night. His
"Still Alarm" was chiefly remarkable for
the opportunity it afforded two white horses
and a real fire engine to exploit themselves.
The horses in "Tne Still Alarm" beat hu
manity out of sight. But in "Blue Jeans"
Arthur has taken the men of his native
Mite, the Hoosiers of the "Blue Jeans"
oistnct, where he was born and bred, and
put theiu with their wives, their daughters,
tneir bands and their barbecues into a
play with a thrillinz storv, and a dozen epi
sodes of rich humor, pathos or appalling
tracedr. A more considerate review of the
play would be needful before we could ex
pressn opinion of the play as a whole; for
the present it may be said sincerely that
"Blue Jeans" is the best play of its sort, a
somewhat indefinable sort, too, neither
melodrama nor what its author calls it in
the slovenly phrase of the day, comedy
drama, that Pittsburg has seen this season.
There is more real life of a wholesome and
entertaining sort in "Bine Jeans" than can
be described here. The first act is a pastoral
poem in a new key; and the barbecue of the
second act, while trenching in places upon
the farcical, is evidently drawn mostly from
life, and with a bold larm hand.
It mav seem odd that we have not allud
ed to the buzz saw sensation, which has
been so extensively advertised as the great
realistic feature of "Blue Jeans," but we
have refrained because the play, singular
to say, is superior to the sensational episode.
The effect of the realistic saw mill with its
three steel saws whirling around anduoisely
devouring the planks is undoubtedly start
ling. The realism is exact, its use most in
genious. The hero is thrown insensible
upon the moving train of the saw by the
villain, while the heroine batters her way
through to save the former. There is a
moment of suspense, the women shut their
eyes; the prone body draws neater and
nearer to the saw, and just as its shining
teeth are touching the edge of his coat there
is a crash, the door is burst open by the
heroine, and the unhappy man is saved! It
is very powerful but is it art? That is a
question for another time. The audience
last night went wild ove'r it, as they did
over the more legitimate humor and pathos
of the play.
A PIRATE SHIP AHOY.
Tatrons of Uio Grand Enjoy a Musical
Ambignity.
The musical nondescript entitled "Ship
Ahoy" as presented at the Grand Opera
House to a large audience. "Ship Ahoy"
sails under the title of a "Nautical Farcical
Opera," but it ii a pirate craft and should
hang out the black flag. It has so many in
cidents wedded to music that it is a dis
tinct attempt at "opera," while wofully
lacking in coherency and plot. Ensemble
or conce-ted music is conspicuous by its
absence, and there is not one single air in it
that could not as well be replaced bv an
other air without detriment to the whole.
The reverse may be taken as the essence of
the term "opera." 'The lyrics are trashy,
and do not even jingle, and in almost every
case the air is treated as a solo, chorns
and tutti, the latter produced by clanging
brass and a mercilessly thumped bass drum
and cymbals. The educated musical ear is
liable to he fatigued by such monotony.
H. Gratlau Donnelly is " responsible for the
libretto, and it's his fashion to be gaseons
irom a merary standpoint. Fred Miller,
the composer, conducts in person. He is at
home in the conductor's chairt which ac
counts for the fairly good orchestration and
the vim and spirit of the performance.
Aside from its technical status the perform
ance is unquestionably brisk and amusing.
Liberal outlavs in the matters ot costume
and scenery, and the clever work of that all-
potent auxiliary, the stage manager, have
made of rather indifferent material a de
cided succets. There have been re
cent changes in the cast which were
perceptible but not detrimental. Mr. T. J.
Crouin was indifferent in the vocal rendi
tion of the Commodore, but acted well
"Wallace McCrcery and Jew Jeukins both
sang and acted spiritedly, the latterdisplay-
tegafresuand clear voice, Mr, SykM'JjmegUenanjlherhlsa-cliMffocergi injA
Opera Colonel was a trifle overdone, but, as
he bad some fresh jokes and any amount of
by-plav, he found tavor. Miss Lntta Gil
man sang unevenly, and might have dis
played a clear but reedy soprano voice to
much better advantage in some other com
poser's music Miss Cecilia Pollock has a
strong contralto voice, but is a betteactress
than songstress. Miss Marion Giroux was
lively, but her voice was diaphanous. The
subordinate parts were well filled. Mana
ger Hill is fairly up to the mark so far as
promises and fulfillment go, and the public
will like "Ship Ahoy."
TBULY CLASSIC VABIETY.
Kellly & Wood's Clover Artists at Harry
Williams' House.
The good qualities of Keilly & Wood's
company, which played twice yesterday to
large audiences at Harry Williams', are a
refreshing surprise at the tail end of the
season. It will be remembered by theater
goers that a remarkable variety performance
was given early in the season at the
Grand Opera House by Marks'
Internationals, an organization which
has since disbanded. Several of
the best performers among the Interna
tionals are now to be seen in Keilly &
Wood's company, and they are sufficiently
clever to satisfy an andience without assist
ance. The Avolos are a pair of boys whose
skill as acrobats has never been surpassed,
it is certain. They perform a series of feats
upon triple horizontal bars with equal grace
and daring, and about all their work there
is a genuine flavor of- novelty. The same
may be said of the eccentric acrobatics of
Jocko and Coco, the man monkeys, of
whose make-up it may also be re
marked that such fidelity to nature
as is therein displayed is rarely found on
the variety stage. Another feature of the
performance which attracted attention here
when it was on the Internationals' pro
gramme is the wonderful playing of the
Natuskies upon the xylophone.
MYSTERY ABOUT IT ALL.
The Weird and Illusive Spectacles at Harry
Davis Museum.
Having wonnd up the baby show in a
blaze of glory Manager Davis retires mod
estly behind a mantle of mystery this week.
There is a dark and uncanny shadow over
the curio hall, but the optical illusions there'
to be found are all scenes of light and de
light. The living sunflower and the
wizard's cave, the magic flowers and the
rest of these marvelous tricks upon the eye
are most cunninglycontrived,and perplexed
as much as they pleased the andiences yes
terday. In the theater a lively entertain
ment is furnished by Collins' & Welsh's
comedy company, of which Dan Hart's
negro act is a strong feature.
B'BEE BABBIT ON DECK
With Slstah Goose and a Lot of Other Odd
Things at the World's.
Of course, Minerva is a strong attraction
at the World's Museum, for she has muscles
of extraordinary size and power. She re
mains the chief wonder in the Curio Hall,
but not the only one. Prof. Hassan has a
wonderful troupe of 20 performing rabbits
and six performing geese, and the tricks
they do are as comical as they
are extraordinary. Couf-Fu, an Afri
can savage of forbidding aspect, illus
trates the toughness of his skin by
dancing on carpet tacks. Cout-Fu seems to
enjoy the prickly dancing floor. In the
theater a talented aggregation of artists
called the Transcontinental Tourists gives a
varied and entertaining perlormance. The
rabbits and geese, however, which H.
Hassan puts thronzh a regular circus, are
the most unique feature of the whole show,
which pleased large audiences yesterday,
and is a very big one for 10 cents.
Harris' Theater.
Joe and Herbert Cawtborne are two old
favorites at this house. They return this
season with (heir favorite play, "Little
Nugget," which is in capable hands and
creates the usual amount of merriment.
There are a couple ot prodigies with the
snow this time; two juvenile song and dance
artists that literally "bring down the house"
with their act.

AN INTRODUCTORY BOW,
We take pleasure in introducing to
the ladies of Pittsburg and Allegheny
our new milliner. Miss Isej Milsted,
formerly of London and Paris, and
we are confident that the acquaint
ance will prove mutually agreeable.
We shall not say much in praise of
Miss Milsted's ability as an artiste;
in Millinery, 'deeds, not words, are
wanted, and a lovely Bonnet has an
eloquence alt its own. You are cor
dially invited to attend the special
opening of Millinery on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, on which oc
casion Miss Milsted will exhibit
so'me choice novelties in Ladies' and
Misses' Trimmed Hats and Bonnets.

known to residents in every part of the State. Its roots of Honest
Goods, Low Prices and Fair Dealing are firmly imbedded in public con
fidence and these give it vitality, strength and growth. Fame, Popularity

results alike to the public interest and advantage as much as to our own.
The present season finds us prepared as never before to serve the
people at large with every article that pertains to Men's Wearing Ap
parel. It matters not whether you want a ten-cent collar or a ten-dollar
suit of clothes, GUSKY'S stand ready to make good their claim un
disputed except by envious rivals that they can do better by you than
any other house in the .State.
In Clothing, Hats, Shoes, Underwear, Neckwear and General .Furnishings-
