isaiVtgsa up-' - THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 189L 13 1 OF - BE AH TV- J&V g The children of the two cities hare literally reigned Bupreme In the society world of Fittshurg and Allegheny during the past week. From Monday morning un til Saturday evening the littlo people have had it nil theii own way and have been as busy as the proverbial bees. The first three days tne Exposition, with all its wonders and delights, gastronomical and otherwise, was turned over to Pittsburg's young student and a goodly sight they presented. That they availed themselves of the pleas ures offered even the most cynical conld not donbt. In every nook and corner of the big build ing ere to be seen groups of fresh faces eagcrh peering at the works of intricate machinery, gazing rapturously at the pict ures, bnc-a brae flow ers, luxurious furni ture aud the pyramids of red and white pop corn. Above all things they enjoyed the free distribution of tea, littlo crackers with tiny bits of jelly or chow-chow in the cen ter, to sa nothing of the picture cards galore (with the advertisers' names andad ure&scs printed across the pretty parts.) The way the joungsters are still talking about the Exposition is proof of how much they ha e enjoyed the big show, and if they do not get opportunities to attend ere the season closes there will be much sorrow in little hearts and tears flowing from youthful eves "But the Exposition has not been the only entertainment peculiarly adapted to the tastes of the children. Tho "Faries' Car nival," with its quaint characters and fresh 3 oung fairies, such as w ere surely never ex celled in fairj land, has been a revelation to the children. The mischievous trickeries of J?uck and Moth, the graceful movements of the faineb, the hobgoblin aggressiveness of the Ogre, have all been enjojed to the ut most. It was as If a story book had run mad and had spilled its people all over the great stage. And tho children in the pageant: What of them? Had they ever such glorious fun as was afforded in this playing at acting making believe they were thevery beings about whom they had read so often in the pictutebooks giien them at Christmas? The youug peuormers. who know nothing of the jealousies and heart burnings of the proiessional stage, threw themselves into tho spirit of the thing, and made the occasion one long holiday Truly, it is w ell to bo a child sometimes! Health for Little folks. It is a pleasant reflection, now that the leaves are already beginning to turn, and the evening air breathes of the autumn, that over SOO city children have been able Ic enjoy the pleasures of the country during the summer through the efforts of the Alle gheny Fresh Air Fund workers. A more noble object could hardly be conceived than to take the littlo dwellets of narrow streets and alleys fiom their clo-e, stuffy, environ ments, and give them an opportunity to in hale health and strength, amid gi ecn fields and under loiest trees. The women who ha e devoted themselves to this work can hardly be commended enough, even though we know the do not seek tho praise of any one for doing that which gives them so much pleasuie. They could not bo made happier by the commendation of the com munity than they are when tlipy see the glen ol health returning to pale faces, and heai little oice3 giomng stronger under the influence ot kindly mother nature's tender care. The Ficsh Air Fund need monej The moro financial help it receives, the more children it w ill be able to give an outing next summer. Cupid Keap Ills Harvest. Talk about June weddings! It seems as If September w ere destined to bo as popular a month lor man luges as midsummer. There have been at least a dozen weddings of prominent people in and about Pittsburg w ithin the last w eek, besides scores of others In which the principals are not so well known. Is it tho icsultof the campaign at the sumniei leorts? Docs the summer girl exert her clunni so desperatelj that she hooks herfish entirely in the lew weeks that are given oer tofiiiting fishing aud bath ing, and does not have to land him during the winter gaieties m the citjt Infoimer days it was considered that tho weddings of June were the result ot meetings in the. pie.

"The Wild Violet" Davis' Museum-theater Cariosities, eto Harris' Theater "The Runaway Wire" Tho above are the theatrical attractions for the coming, week. The theatrical business generally last week was good, although the warnrweather had Its usual effect during the latter part or the week. But every theater and the museums likewise, felt a marked change for the better in the attendance. The managers who had looked rather gloomily at the slim crowds winch August and the first week In September brought to their doors are now in better spirits and expect the seasoiLahead to be fairly profitable. Mr. Joseph Haworth's engagement was a little too early In the season to bring out the regular theater-goers, and especially of that class from which legitimate drama and actors who are also artists expect support, and so the audiences were not so largo as thev ought to have been. Still the popular greeting this talented actor encountered was lavorablc enough to compensate somewhat for its lack of volume. It is true also that neither "St. Maro" nor the double bill of "Fra Dfino" and "Rny Bias" give Mr. Haworth or Miss Kathryn Kidder the roles best suited for them or a satisfactory dra matic vehicle. "St. Marc's" merits have been discussed and its weakness pointed out in these columns already. It is a cheap piece of tinsel and flrewoiks. "Fra Diano" presents the painful improbability of a pious priest committing murder and suicide, with out any adequate provocation, for the mem ory of an injury 17 years old, even coupled with the new wrong Intended, cannot be said tojustify or require such violent crimes. "Buy Bias" is a better work, of course, though not a play of remarkable merit. .Mr. Haworth played the title role with wonder ful spirit and insight on Thursday night a performance far superior to the Hist on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Kidder was also well suited in the role of queen, which is, how ever, but a slightly sketched character. nut nun ueveiopeo. Dy tne autuor. miss Kidder undoubtedly may mount to any height in emotional drama, for which she has great qualifications. The main need in Mr. Haworth's case is a play. Perhaps "The Leavenworth Case," which will be played in Chicago on Tuesday for the first tlmo, will prove to bo Mr. Haworth's opportunity. Mr. Haworth's company contains several young people or ability, notably Miss Keith and Mr. E. J. Morgan. What can be done by means of hard worlc money and brains, with a poor piece, is il lustrated in "Later On," which has blos somed Into an amusing, bright and decid edly novel entertainment from a very slow and stupid thing in the beginning. Three years ago It was- almost criminally idiotic: but ' Later On," as Hallen and Hart and their clever assistants give It now, compares very favorably w 1th any farce comedy on the road. If farce comedy is to be saved by any .process that to which "Later On" has been subjected will do it. The Bijou was too small for some or the audiences. Tho success of "Fantasma" at the Grand Opera House, which has been phenomenal, shows that the public appreciate the square methods of the Hnnlons. The Opera House was crowded at every performance. The opening of the season In Xew York may be said to have occurred last week. Three or four important oponlnga took place there. "Amy Bobsart" with Marie Wainwright in the title role, seems to have impressed people favorably, althongh the critics paid most of the compliments to the soenery, which must bo superb. "Eight Bells," a nautical farce comedy with inci dental acrobatics, met with a doubtful re ception, as did Frederick Paulding's "The Struggle for Life," a melftdrama which was written years ago by William Irving Pauld ing, who, dvlng, left $20 000 ror his nephew, Frederick Paulding, to pioduce it with. The best tiling or the week appears to have been Henry L. Dixey, "Adonis," in "The Solicitor." He is surrounded by the clever est company j et brought together bv Mana ger Charles Fi ohman. Theplay is a London success rrom tho pen. of J. II. Darnley, and a goou companion piayto "jane," -Tiie Pri vate Secretary" and "All the Comforts of Homo." It gives the misadventures of a young lawyer who, in an hour of rash fun, takes a cabman's place, and has for pas sengers his wile and a pair of burglars. Tho play is full of fun and dash from start to finish, and will have a very long run. The dramatization or "Tho Leavenworth jCase," which Is to see the light on Tuesday at the Chicago Grand Opera House, is the work or the author Anna Katherino Greene. another story from whose pen is appearing in The Dispatch. For many reasons this production will be important and the pros- Sect Is decidedly favorable for a success, r. Haworth plays the part of the murdeier who avoids detection so skillfully and there is not the least doubt that it will be a won derfully pow erful piece of oharacter acting. The good wishes ot Mr. Haworth's Pittsburg friends and admirers certainly go with him. HEPBUBif Jonas. The Duquesne Theater. Dlonyslus, Caasar an Maro Antony, brought down to earth and t the nineteenth century by the dignified surnames O'Dowd and McNab, ought to be tho boon com panions that will create merriment in tfio comedy "O'Dowd's Neighbors," to be pro duced at the Duquesne Theater.commencing to-morrow night. All of tho members, how ever, it Is said, take a hand in making the play go, and a great crowd they are, consist ing of SO singere, dancers and Jokers, with Mark Murphy, Sam" J. Ryan and Miss Ollie Archmere as mischief makers in chiof. "O'Dowd's Neighbors" lays claim to being a farce comedy, but it is so full of melody that it has already won the title of comic opera, as modern comic operas go. Itisstated that every member of the cast has a good share of musical work to do in the course of tho play, either as vocalist or instrumentalist, nnd. as a whole, it is said, the music is the brightest element in the pei fornrince, some thing which can always be said of opera, comlo or serious. -Gems of grand opera may seem a llttleincongiuous wedged in between burlesque situations and topical songs, but they offer their on n excuse when well sung, and the sextette from "Lucia dl Lammer moor" is said to loom up brightly beside the more catchy melodies of some blight new songs. Among these is "Maggie Murphy's Home," with a refrain which was no doiibt born in the ballroom, so well has it caught the swaying waltz swing. O'Dowd and McNab nre rival suitors for tho hand of tho fiiir Mrs. Knto Riley, a wealthy widow, who will have none or them, finding a successrul candidate in the son or one orlieraiicient admirers. Miss OUio Archmere is one or the gayest of soubrettes, and her talents aie eieatly in excess of her petite flguro. Maik Murphy appeals as u 'uowa, oam jk)uu i jucnuu, ijiiie Arch mere as ISitu. The others in the cast aie Robert W. Broderick. Otey Shattnck, W.A. Patterson, Charles E. Stewart,' Thomas F. Watson, William H. MaePheison, Sydney Dm ham, Fied Lucier, Georgo H. Johnson, Ethel Lynton, May Whittemore, Nettie Le land, Hella Archmere, Cad Wilson. May Thomas, Jennie Ecynolds, Minnie Cailton, Myitle Arlington, Jdadgo Davenpoit, Viola Arlington, Ida Mootland, Minnie Bernard, Lillie Fording ahd Minnie Fording. It will bo given six nights and Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The Wednesday mati nee will be at popular pi ices, 25 and SO cents for the best seats anywhero in the house. A Fair Kebeh One of the events ofhe present theatrical season has been the production of a new war play, "A Fair Rebel," whioh is to re ceive Its first presentation in this city at the Duquesne Theater, commencing Monday, September 2L The critics of Xew York, where the pieoe Is Just closing an extended run, pronounce It one of the best of th war plays. It la said of It that it is the real thing, that every slight expression and costume smacks nat urally of those hard times of a quarter of a century ago, when the bloody hand of war separated the Xorth and South. There is life, color and spirit In the play. Tho pict ures are sterling, the play abounds In strik ing, pictorial Incidents and the shooting of a member of the Federal Telegraph Corps as he is sending a message with n portable In strument fron. the top of a telegraph polo, is one of the best or the incidents. TheLibby Prison scene is elaborate and realistic: it is taken from lire, and has for Its hero a Pitts burg soldier who himself Is still living to tell thestorvorhls wonderful escape. TJie play has a cast which is said to bo far superior to that yet given any of the war flmmai of recent production. Miss Fannie Gillette, the leading lady, has made a pro nounced hit, while the entire company, even to those who have minor parts in hand, ate all said to be rully up to the mark and farinadvanco of the average'. The piece will bo given at the Duquesne Theater for six nights and Wednesday and Saturday matinees. Dijon Theater. Of the performance of the well-known German dialect comedian In "Keppler's For tunes," which will be aoen in the Bijou for one week commencing to-morrow night, tho Cincinnati Enquirer has the following: Gus Williams is one of American dialect comed ians, and in his play, "Keppler's Fortunes,'' ' no has a great chance to show his peculiar talents. If is a pretty production, replete with humor and made more cffectlvo by many pathetic incidonts. Tho Inimitable Gus met with a great welcome at Heuck's last night. The house was crowded and the performance was given a most enthusiastio reception. All the interest centers around the work of Williams as Keppler, the Ger man, who is a strong, but somewhat contra dictory character. Miss Laura Loralne, a pretty soubretto with a sweet voice, made a hit in her songs, while H. B. Bradley, as Dune Kelson, the old snort, was a splendid piece or character acting. These were the strongest people In the cast.and fortunately had the most to do. Mr. Williams has a number or new songs, every one or which made a hrt. His burlesque on "Comrades" was encored three or four times, and in all his musical efforts the comical Gus showed that he has as strong a hold upon the popu lar heart as ever. Since Its former produc tion heio "Keppler's Fortunes" has under gone many changes for tho better, and many laughable leatures have been added. It is a clean, attractive performance, and everyone who saw it last night was highly pleased. Mr. Williams has been seen in Pittsburg fre quently, but never in "Keppler's Fortunes." The play has a plot, but no pretensions to literary brilliancy. It was nut together simply to lit the star and create amusement. Grand Opera House. At the Grand Opera House, commencing Monday, September "14 and for the entire week, Gormans' Minstrels will be the at traction. The Gormans will present, it Is said, something new in tho minstrel line, getting out of the rut so long traveled by minstrel companies. The productions of the Gormans havo been seen in the better class companies not confined alone to minstrelsy; in farce comedy, both in Europe and Amer ica, some of them have been uncommonly successful. The programme this season Includes the gems of song and concerted music, and the genuine plantation darkey illustrated, but presented in a different manner and inter woven with pleasant surprises which the Gormans aro famous for concocting. Their acting is said to be bright throughout, al lowing not tne slightest opportunity for a dull moment. The specialty part of the programme includes many novel acts by artists ot merit. The new first part, "Tho Power of Hyp notism," introduces the enliie eompany.and contains some new and taking specialties. The "Dancing Jockeys" is a pretty featn-e performed by six nimble-footed young men with rich and appropriate costumes. "The Gathering of the Clans" is one of the great est marching acts ever conceived, executed by 16 people and with the necessary effects, never falls to make a big impiession. Tho afterpiece is a-very funn3-one, entitled "The Reception of the Colored 400," introducing George Gorman as Stanley McGmnis. While Gorman's Minstrels is a now one to Pittsburg theater-goers, the Gormans them selves are by no means strangers, having been seen here a number or times with Hav erly's original mastodons. They were for several seasons the principal comedians of the above company, and all tho big acts and original afterpieces-were the work of these clever people. In presenting their own com pany they aie sanguine in their belief that they aie ahead of all other minstrel compa nies In originality and new ideas, as they havo met with the biggest kind of success thiouf hout the cities of the East nnd South. To-morrow the company will give a grand street parade at 11 o'clock. Harry 'Williams' Academy. The London Specialty Company will sup ply the entertainment at this house this week. This is Lester and Williams' attrac tion, and contains some clever people. The Julians will give a novel and interesting acrobatic performance. The comedy ele ment, is looked after by such well-known Seople as tho American Macs, O'Brien and edding, William Jerome, the paiody sing er. Leona Fontainebleau's dancing is promised as a great feature, while the prismatic phantasma and electrical display lurnished by Mde. Albertina and Adolpli Xeeman are said to be beautiful. The Phila delphia Press said the other day: The usual large audience filled tho. Central last even ing on the occasion or the flrst appearance or the London Specialty Company, whioh is one of the most complete combinations that has appeared here this season. The songs, dancesand "gags" are new and original, and every participant in the programme made a hit. World's Museum-Theater. Arizona Joe and his strong melodramatic company remain the chief attraction at this popular house, but they will appear in a new play, "The wiltt violet," this week. "The Wild Violet" is described as a four-act comedy-drama with great realistic effects. The wonderful, peiforming dogs and Arizona Joe's shooting with real ball cartridges fig ure prominently in the play, of course. Tho dogs last week convinced everybody of their wonderful sagacity, and Xed makes a start ling leap for lire in "Ihe Wild Violet." The plav deals with wild Western life, has a thrilling plot, and abounds inaction. Tho following cast explains the character of the play: Arizona Job. Arizona Joe The new Sheriff. Psnllne.......'. Miss Edna Selcrlst An adventuress. Violet Dot Lsthrop A prairie wair. Frank Crosby Edward Finlay The prex nt Sheriff, a leader of a band of horse thieves. JimDorsey L.Hascall One of the band.

Any young lady in this vicinity may enter the matrimonial contest. The skeleton dude is heart-free at present nnd each one of the competitors has an equal chance.

Tho Temple Of Art and Music, that has pleased and astonished many thousands duruig the past week, will bo on exhibition ror six days fongor.

The drama will bo staged in good style, several sets of now scenery being placed on view for the first time. Stage Whispers. "A Fair Rebel" closes the preliminary fall season at the Duquesne Theater.
