Tlie above are the theatrical attractions
for thi6 week.
''The Senator" is a fatisiactory work how
ever you take it and larre audiences have
said so all the week through at the Du
quesne. The oiupinv could hardly be
Jiuprorcfl, and the setliup was perfect. Mr.
Crane deserves ered.t forthink-itigsoniucliof
the artistic ide, anil it is eratifirs to know
that he ha reaped a rich Si.jnuial re Hard.
The seaon is o neaii at an end that we are
fortunate to pet suc'i ooil tluncs as "The i-en-Btor"
and Euc Jeans." llie latter play is
es'entiallv tlie best drama of the sort seen here
lor a Ions wline, for several sea-ons, indeed.
It i caintallj acted alM, and the charm of

niCt little could bo learned, for the tenor,

The ISijou Theater.
Mr. D. K. Higgms, the successful yonng
author actor, with whom the idea of lutrodut
m a regulation pol.ee patrol wagon was ong
ina, will oroduce his latest success, "Kid
napped." a' the Bijou on Monday night, April
27, and the engegement will last the entire
wee. Mr. Higgms u-cs a p;.pier mache patrol
wagon in the plaj. which was mane fiom pat
terns and drawings furnished by the
foreman of the extensive factories in
which the Chicago patrol wagons aie built,
Ld is a lac simile of the "hum"
wagons in everv detail and particular. In
answer to an alarm which is rung in from a
street box, the horses come rushing on the
stage drawing the patrol wagon. Ihev are
pu.ied up-uddeuly. the pnsoner is nlaced in
tht- wagon and tbe lnagnihcut horses" dash off
with their tuau of 1 uina i freight. The scene
Is said to be as lcalis'n as any ever put
on the stace, and Mr. Higgms is en
titled to much creuit for originat
ing so novel and stnkfng an
elfect. Anothi r new idea is pi.rtrayed at the
oudof the third act. When a youugsociet lady
is chloroformed and abducted. Ihe uncon
scious girl is orojght out of the hon.n at nn-lir

plays a neat, r lined German character, Louie

Mr Higgms has received many compliments
from the Wr-tern pie-s for his unique
perlormancc of his pirt. His supporting
companj is s.nl to bo far above the
average and 'Kidnapped" should do a bi
busmess this week at the Bijou. The compauy
carry all their own special scenery, and all the
jywhanicat effects aie new and original. The
costum-s aro costlv and handsome and the
propi rtios and viTpctscost hundreds of dollars.
As a whole tbe pioduetion is said to be one of
the very best sensational dramas ou thu stage.
Tlie Duqnesne Theater.
Tbe attraction at the Dacjuesne this week,
beginning to-morrow evening, is Mr. G a
Thomas' beautiful comedy-drama, "The Bur
glai." Almost every one has heard of Mrf.
J' lances Hodgson Burnett's charming, pathetic
and quietly amusing little story of "Editha"
Uurelar" It was quickly taken up by the
stage, aud was hrst produced as a one-act
coined). Kecogiuziug the possibilities of tbe
(ketch, Mr. Thomas has taken it, furnished it
with a plot and el iborated it into the present
four-act comedy-drama. The title may suggest
xnelo-dramaiic visions of safe-cracking and
real burglars, but there is nothing of this in
the plav. It is a thrilling, yet natural story
of the hapless alliance of a good w oman with a
worthless man who hasn't the decency to die or
disappear till he has biought heapsof trouble
upon his family. The great scene of the piece,
however, is that in which tho little Eailha,
awakened in the night, hears a noise in the tit-
i.

ting room, steals out in her nightdress aud
finds a burglar at work gathering up the family
taluables. Klie does not fear him. hut begs
lutn not to awaken Heuton, whom she calls her
father. With childish love, she offers the thief
all her own little trinkets, if he will
only leave undisturbed certain articles which
che knows Benton values. The marauder.who,
of course, is Lewis, finally recognizes bis child,
and the scene is a most pathetic one when the
two in close embrace are discovered by Jienton,
who exercises tbe authority which the situa
tion gies him and prevents the father from
making bis relationship known. Lewis goes
his way, but later is shot bv a policeman, and
returns to the presence of his wife and child to
die. Matinees will be given Wednesday and
Saturday.
Grand Opera House.
Bale Bernard's version of "Faust,"produced
by Mr. Leu is Morrison and his company, will
ocenpv the Grand Opera House this week.
The production comes to Pittsburg with new
a,nd elaborate scenery, beautiful costumes and
the original cast. The piece will be ctven with
all the wonderful scenic, electric and calcium
eflects, which has made it one of the greatest
successes of the season. The electric duel
scene, the wonderful "Brocken scene," Mar
gneute's garden, where flowers are made to
bloom hi electricity, and tbe beautiful
apotheosis in the closing act are wonderful to
behold, and, it is claimed, surpass anything
ever given m this cm. Mr. Morrison, as
Mcplnsto, is the recognized devil of the Amer
icau frtage, while the rest of the company are
far aboo the average. Tbe vocal selections by
the Nuremberg Cathedral Choir add greatly to
the production, and the piece, as an entirity,
will be given in the most elaborate style. On
Saturday there will be a matinee.
narry Williams' Academy.
Frank Jones in "Si Perkins" is the reliable
comedy attraction offered at Harry Williams'
Academy this week, and for tbe first time in
two years the Pittsburg public will have
chance to enjoy tbe bucolic humori of old Si.
Tbe usual features, such as the dance of the
deacons, the pastimes at tbe old farm house,
the Pugatonn band and the country quartet,
together with a real threshing machine, will be
seen. A week, of wholesome fun is assured.
World's Museum Theater.
Tbe World's Museum Theater has a genuine
novelty of a big order on the bills this week.
This is Miss Belle Carter, the lady with tbe
horse's mane. Miss Carter has created a sen
sation in the East and it is expected that she
will interest the public very greatly here.
Nothing in her personal appearance attracts
special at'ention until she turns her back, and
the spectator sees that along ber spinal column
there is a thick growth of long, dark brown,
silky hair, which in general outline has the ap
pearance of tbe mane of a horse. The hair is
luxuriant .nd hue in texture and not unlike that
of her head At her birth a fine coating of
hair was visible on the back, which gradually
grew and developed to its present wonderful
proportions. This extraordinary growth, run
ning, as it does, along tbe spinal column, tbe
most vital part of the human anatomy, so
sapped thejoung lady's constitution that a
pbjsician was called to attend her. Then it
was that the discovery was made that there ex
isted an American ladv with a horse's mane.
There is nothing repulsive about this exhibit.
In addition to this astonishing spectacle, a
good variety entertainment will be given in the
theater bj Hilly Goldan's company, consisting
of IS stars.
, Harry Davis' Museum.
Tbe Fifth Avenue Museum makes a new de
parture in the way of novelty for the coming
week by presenting a double stage entertain
ment. Two separate and distinct -companies
have been engaged and will appear on two dif
ferent stages, giving an uninterrupted and con
tinuous entertainment for two snccessive
hours. This will be a novelty in itself and in
order that the experiment may be
made with success. Manager Davis has
engaged artists of high merit iu
all Branches of the profession and
will present what may be termed tbe largest,
longest and best performance that has ever
been known in anything like tbe same prices
of admission. Tbe attractions in Theater
Number One Introduce the famous Forepaugh
Yaukey farmer; the celebrated negro delinea
tor, Mr. Thomas Bryant: the famous ballaaist.

all there are nearly 30 people, and from the tup
to tbe bottom of the house music, mirth,
novelty and minstrels will reign supreme for
the entire week. It certainly display a great
degree or enterprise on the Dart ot the manage
ment and no doubt will in itself respond in
overflowing houses while tne double entertain
ment continues.

idyl, will be played for the hrst time at Harris'
