"With Mr. Roland Reed theater goers have
been very well pleased for a long time, but
his plays have not been worthy of htm or of
very serious consideration. Therefore his
visit to the Grand Opera House this week
with "The Club Friend" will be watchpd
with deeper interest because creditable
oritlcs aver that this play of Sydney Rosen
feld's is a remarkably clever work; the best
Indeed that the author of "A Possible Case"
and part author of "The Eenator" has done.
It Is for one thing a much more serious
vehicle than any Mr. Beed hat tried
before, and according to good
auiDoniieB in new lore ana noston
it gives himlarger opportunities also for the
dlsplav of his undoubted talent as an actor,
not only In comedy, but general hlstrionlo
expression. Joseph Jefferson after seeing
"The Club Friend" said: "It is more than a
legitimate play, it is a classicl" The pood
qualities of the play are said to be princi
pally in the satire, wit, and humor of the
dialogue, the novelty of the plot and situa
tions and the strong character drawing.
The play is modern and the personages are
of the everyday type.
There is the bustling man of business, the
speculator who is always looking for some
thing big and invariably has a "good thing,"
a peculiar but somewhat natural type of
American vouth. and three charminrr vonnir
girls, llr.ileod portrays a new and inter
esting stylo of character, a very happy
going man of the world, who has amassed
considerable of a fortune, but whose one
regret in lire is that he is never "taken"
seriously. It affords him the opportunity of
appearing as himself and not as an old man,
as he has always been seen here. The pro
duction here will be in the same magnificent
style as marked its presentation in New
York. The same cast as appeared there will
aUo be seen. The company comprises Miss
Isadoro Bush, Miss Percv Ilaswell, Mrs.
Mary Myers, Mis Edna "Wallace, George
Fred Xat, William Davidge, Charles A.
Smily, William Friend, Julian Beed.
A telegram from New York to Tins Dis
patch lastnight says: A novel performance
was given this morning in New Tork by Mr.
BolandBeed and his company at the Star
Theater. It was the first morning perform
ance ever given in that city. The play was
"The Club Friend," and the curtain rose at
10.30. The performance was given on ac
count of the many urgent demands of the
actors and actresses now playing in Now
Tork City to see Sidney Eosenfeld's happiest
comedy. The theater was crowded. Among
the many promluent people present were
Florence, De Woli Hopper, Henry E. DIxey,
Marie Wainwright, E. H. Sothern.Della Fox,
Charles Frohman, Daniel Frohman, Thomas
Q. Seabrook, Marie Stono, Tom Karl, Jessie
Bartlett Davis, II. C. Barnaby, Carrie
Turner, Marshall Wilder, Edward llarrigan,
Martllanly, etc, etc. lhcre were curtain
calls at the end of each act, and at the end
of the tbirdact both the author and Mr. Reed
were recalled several times and at last re
sponded with very happy speeches. To
night Mr. Beed played to another unusual
audience, one composed entirely of dramatio
authors, including all the leading lishjs.
Mr. Wardo fulfilled his promises as to
"The Lion's Mouth," Henry Guy Carleton's
new play. It is a play of remarkable merit
and great originality in matter if not so
much so In form. Mr. Warde's company
rendered it artistically and the scenery and
costumes were such as to complete a fairly
aocurate picture of mdiasval Venice. No
doubt next year the play will be given even
worthier setting and Interpretation, as Mr.
Warde tells mo that ho has already engaged
Louis James, and hopes to fill up
his company with other irood actors.
Including a leading woman of national
reputation. In lact, Mr. Warde's plans from
now on will possess a dignity that they have
hitherto lacked. When Mr. Louis James
Joins him Mr. Warde's repertoire will in
clude "The Lion's Mouth," "Memnon," a
tragedy in the classical style or Mr. Carle
ton; "Ot ello," and "Francesca da Bimini,"
all of which will be mounted in the best
fashion. For the two latter plays Mr. Warde
will have the scenery and costume used by
the Booth-Barrett Company, which are the
finest the American stage has yet known.
Mr 'Warde is greatly impressed with
"Memnon,"' the second play of Mr. Carle
ton's that he has accepted. It Is a tragedy
written in blank verse. The Memnon who
la the hero of the play is not that Ethiopian
Prince who went to the assistance of the
America will be forced era long to declare
him a leader.
"Aunt Bridget's Baby" Is said to be a peal
of laughter from beginning to end. Mr.
George W. Monroe, who assumes the title
role of Aunt Bridget, has many staunch
friends In Pittsburg, and all can recall with
pleasure his fat, good-natured, wholesome,
rollicking, unctous and altogether remarka
ble creation of Aunt Bridget. In his new
play, "Bridget's Baby," there is no plot, or
scarcely any, but the piece is a mixture of
pure fun and nonsense, and depends upon
the cleverness or a score of comedians and
comediennes. Special scenery, new cos
tumes, songs and music are introduced. Mr.
Monroe will sing his newest and latest addi
tion to his manv songs, "It's a Job Lot," and
Miss Nellie Rosebud, who plays the
Bab;, will introduce her two latest
longs, "It's Not Exactly What He Says,
but the Nasty Way He Says It" and "The
Floorwalker." The mandolin selections by
the entire company at the beginning of the
seoond act and tho introduction of the
"stowaways" by Messrs. Wheelan, Ducrow
and Holland are said to be extremely pret
ty. Last but not least, the Quaker City
Quartet, four grotesque singers, add greatly
to the success and place the company, it is
claimed, on a higher footing musically than
the majority of musical farce comedies.
This is the first visit of "Aunt Bridget's
Baby" to this city, but there seems to bo no
doubt that what won for it success at the
Bijou Theater, New Tork, will do the same
here, for the liking of a large section of the
publto for farce comedy in all its forms is
undoubtedly very strong.
The lithograph nuisance, of which mana
gers and the publio are heartily sick, is
likely to be abated in a summary manner
before long. Mr. Carleton's success with
his comic opera venture without litho
graphic attachments has been marked
enough to excite general attention in the
profession, and other managers are follow
ing suit. This will relieve the public's eyes
as well as the managers' pockets, and per-,
mit the local ticket sellers to breathe freely.
The clever people in Gus Hill's World of
Novelties will amuse the patrons of Mana
ger Harry 'Williams at the Academy this
week. The company is well known and
liked here, Gus Hill himself is a wonderful
Company was the strongest that leaves the
city this season. Among the more promi
nent or tne memoers or tne company are:
club swinger, and ho has a strong company,
with which he has lust made a good im
pression in New Tork. Tho company in
Trojans when besieged bv the Greeks, and
whom Homer describes. In fact, he is a
creation of Mr. Carleton's, arch-prophet in
the Ecyptian hierarchy, when Aniasis was
King, about 4S0 B. C and in the intrigues of
the Egyptian court he figures somewhat as
Bichelieu did at a laterday with the Most
Christian Monarch. One reading of "Mem
non." which Mr. Warde was kind enough to
lend me, is hardly enough to enable one to
Judge of its literary merits, much less of its
strength as a drama to be acted. But no one
can read Mr. Carleton's blank verse without
realizing that he has more than a common
knowledge of his art. a Tund of language
and a poetic imagination which no living
dramatist, as far as the American and En
glish stage are concerned, possesses.
In "Tne Lion's Mouth," as has already
been said in The Dispatch, passages of rare
beauty are frequent, and the touches of
humor are often light and fanciful. In
"Memnon" the language is more dignified
in keeping with tho subject, which is as it
were shadowed by the Pyramids and the
great head of another "Memnon," the son of
the morning; but the figures are often of
great beauty and there is music in nearty all
the lines. Of course there is very little
humor required in a classical tragedy, but
here and there it bubbles up very brightly,
breaking pleasantly the solemn, sad course
of the storv of Intcstis, the Egytian Princess.
Some portion the story, as Mr. Carleton
takes care to explain iu a preface, has been
used by George Ebers in his novel, "The
Egyptian Princess," but there is not the
slightest similarity, and indeed it would be
singular u mere was, lor .sir. carleton
printed his play in 1SS4, before Mr. Ebers
published his novcL
Mr. Warde told me yesterday afternoon
that some changes ot importance, which ho
indicated, are to be made in "Memnon," and
I am inclined to believe that its production
next season will creato something of a
sensation; of popular success it is well-nigh
assured for the scenic or pictorial poten
tialities of the piece can be readily seen.
The great situation of the play, where
Memnon curses Egypt and her king, admits
if scenic effects like those of the famous
storm scene in "Cleopatra" which was
strong enough to be the chief instrument in
the taUatiou of a very ordinary play.
While Henry Guy Carleton's reputation as a
journalist is of some years' standing and de
servedly high, he has not won as yet what
the world calls fame as a dramatist. If
these plays, "The Lion's Mouth" and "Mem
non." are any criterion, fame will soon be
his. He is a very young man to have
achieved so much. Now he is 85 years old,
but when he wrote "Memnon" he was but
23. That Dlay, after being accepted by John
McCullough, was pigeon-holed for many
years. It is a remarkable play, anyhow, but,
as the work or so young a man, it is a little
short 01 marvelous.

Morn, but I know be received a part of his
jfducation at au army post in the West, and
afterwards was Kraduated from Santa Clara
University in California. There he must
have accumulated his store of classical
knowledge, and his lire since then has been
sufficiently romantic to make a capital plot
for a play. Ho served for some years In the

Of the New Tork stage a correspondent
writes: Tne principal production of the
week has been Sardou's famous play "Tner
midor," produced by Manager Charles Froh
man at the Twenty-third Street Theater. It
Is the great dramatist's latest work, and
many declare it to bo tbo crowning effort of
his wonderful talent. "Thermidor" is a
fierce arraignment of Jacobin excesses. The
horrors of the worst days of the French
Bevolution are spoken of at length, and for
that reason it was not tolerated In France
Here there is no such feeling, and the
plot of the play will be watched rather
for tho love story running through it
than for its politics. Manager Froh
man's company handled the paymaster's
work splendidly, and tho play achieved a
well merited success. The first publio per
formance of Pietro Mascagna's "Cavallaria
Busticana"or"Bustic Chivalry" at the Casino
took place on Monday evening, and the
young composer's work received enthusiatio
endorsement. It is charmingly original and
accompained by a depth of feeling and a cer
tain abandon which compel first attention
and then admiration. Like Moskowskl or
Saint-Saens' finer compositions, tho beauties
in "Rustic Chivalry"are discarded only after
frequent hearing. It was preceded by "The
Tyrolean," a comic opera by Carl Zeller,
made chiefly interesting In that it intro
duced Mario Tempest, the clever English
soprano, as a Casino star, for the opera itself
is of tho ordinary liirht German style, neat
and pleasing, but with nothing else to.recom
mend it to attention.
The World's Museum-Theater offers its
customary large return for a small fee this
week, an hour and a hairs drollery, dance
and song by the World's select specialty
company, in which SO artists of various
talents will perform. The curiosity hall
will also contain its customary quota of
wonders. In reserve the enterprising man
agers of this house announce that they have
a wonderful repetition of the Siamese twins,
or two-headed boy. This freak is now ex
citing great curiosity in New "v-k; it is two
D0V8 above the waist and or j from there
down. Both boys can speak several lan
guages, and are intelligent and pretty.
Harry Davis has engaged the famous
George Lippert, the three-legged" man, for
the coming week at the Fifth Avenue
Museum. Lippert has thtee well-developed
legs, and 15 toes withal. He has to wear
trousers cut to suit his physical peculiarity,
and he wears three shoes whon fully dressed.
He can tnrn handsprings and sumersaults
and dance gracefully in all sorts of ways. In
the theater J. W. McAndrews, the "water
melon man," with a carefully selected min
strel company, wui entertain tne patrons.
The company comprisos several famons
names, including Scnoolcraft, Coes, J. K.
Morton and the "Brilliant Quartette," with
other clever knights of the burnt cork. Fra
zier and Bunnell, the "electrical musical
mokes," are also on the programme. Other
artists are the Kawakamis, in Japanese
broadswoard combat, Cuponti, Hindoojugg
ler, Saunders, lightning crayon artist, etc.
It is a significant fact that on Friday night,
when Mr. Warde gave "Virginius," the
Grand Opera House was packed. Classio
tragedy evidently has its friends still, de
spite what the croakers and the farce-comedy
peddlers say.

The success or "A Straight Tip," at the
Alvin Theater last week exceeded that of
Its first visit here. There Is no need to quar
rel with popular taste, though the phenom
nal hit made by such a trashy piece is sur
prising. The reason of Its success doubtless
lies In its power to compel laughter, and the
novelty to most people of the side of life
which it at times truthfully pictures and
more often burlesques. Then James Pow
ers is a comedian of real talent, with po wex
in him to doverymuoh better work than
he gets a chance to do In "A Straight Tip.'
Peter F.Daly is alto an actor of genuine
ability; as a character sketch his portrayal
of a sport Is wonderfully true to the orig
inal, who can be found on any race track,
and for that matter muoh nearer at home In
Pittsburg. It is not, perhaps, a very valu
able contribution-to the characters of the
stage, but it Is art. Recognizing his ability
Manager Bosenbanm intends to star Mr.
Daly next year in a farce comedy written
for him by J. J. McNally, author of "A
Straight Tip." For a few seasons longer Mr.
Powers is to be confined in his present play,
but it is pleasant to bear that he has higher
aspirations, and that his next venture will
be in a role nearer legitimate comedy.
Except at the matinees last week it
was very hard ' to get a seat
at the Alvin, and it looks as If
Manager Davis' beautiful theater were ap
preciated properly. The lobbyof the new
theater is n earing completion; the paneling
of Mexican' on ?i and the heavy doors of
oak are substantial and handsome additions
of the week. The conservatory back of the
foyer is also being pushed forward, Dut will
hardly be ready for use for some time yet.
Without it. howover. tho comfort and con
venience of the theater, as well as ita mag
nificent decoration, are impressing the
public very powerfully. Among tho actors
you hear nothing but praise for Manager
Davis' liberal provisions for their comrort,
and I understand Mr. Davis contemplates
opening the "behind tho scenes" that
mysterious land to the publio on certain
days in the near future in order that every
one may know how an aotor-managcr has
remombered his brothren of days past, by
making tho dressing rooms as good as and
bettor than many of the rooms in the best
hotels. It is a good idea.
Some of Tm Dispatch's readers may not
be acquainted with E. S. Willard, the
eminent Enelish actor, who appears at the
Alvin Theater this week, and to them a
sketch of his career may bo of special in
terest. Mr. WMlard is one of the youngest
of the great actors of the present day.
Though he has been on the stage for 21 years
he is no w only 37. He began his career when
but a lad of 16, appearing at the Theater
Royal, Wevmouth. as the second officer in
"The Lady of Lyons." Shortly thereafter
ho joined E. A. Sothern's company and
played with the famous comedian in all hii
different pieces. Following this engagement
ho acted with stock companies in several
rovincial cities, and, in 1875 appeared in
ondon at the Covent Garden Theater. It
was in this vear that he married Miss Emily
'Waters, a charming lady who has written
numerous stories and who has lately done
some creditable playw'itlng. From this
time on his reDUtation as a leading actor of
nnusualpower grew, until in 1831 he joined
Wilson Barrett and began upon what was
destined to bo a remarkable career of stage
villainy. His first great hit as a villain was
in "The Lights o' London," but it was his
Solder in "The Silver King" which gave him
especial distinction as an evil-doer. Parting
from Wilson Barrett in 1856, he went to the
Haymarket to play Jamet liahton in "Jim the
Penman." In 1858 he took tho Shaftesoury
Theater for himself, and there produced the
plays of Henry Arthur Jones, taking rank
immediately with that other genius of the
English stage, Henry Irving. For two years
his success grew, and .then Mr. A. M.JPalmer
indnend him to come to this Country with
his greatest successes, "The Middleman,"
"Judith" and other plays.
Mr. Willard will produce "The Middle
man" at the Alvin Theater on Monday
night. "The Middleman" tells the story of
an inventor a master of the recondite arts
of mixing and baking pottery. One of the
discoveries of this man has enriched his em
ployer, while the genius himself remains a
poor, laborious servant. The rich mania
guilty of brutal cruelty to Cynu Blenlxa-n
(Mr. Willard), striking at the life and honor
of tho daughter, whom tho poor genius
loves even more than his art. Blenkarn
swears to avenge the wrong done him, and
through anothergreat discovery in porcelain
manufacture grows rich while his former
employer becomes poor. At tho moment,
however, when his revenge is within his
grasp the memory of his lost child causes
him to take counsel of mercy, not of venge
ance. "What would Mary do?" he asks him
self, and his heart answers, "Be merciful 1"
And the curtain falls upon all the wrongs
righted and the dawning of a great peace

Some idea of Pittshurg's ability to support
her theaters has heen gathered during the
past week, and the comfortablo decision is
that all tho theaters can make money some
more than others, of course. The Alvin was
crowded, the Bijou likewise, the Opera
House nicely filled and crowded on two
nights, and even the Duquesne, with a min
strel company, did a profitable business. At
tho same time Harry Williams' and Har
ris and tho Museums had a fair share of the
public's money. This week will test the lead
ing theaters better, for thev have every one
an attraction suited to the house and strong
in itself, although, of course, there are mod
ifications of the outlook in tho Tarying draw
ing powers of a number of new plays and
stars. But the feeling in theatrical circles
is considerably more cheerful than it was.
"The Tar and the Tartar" is the first new
oomie opera of the season, and the Duquesne
Theater has the honor of presenting it. It
has a good many things to recommend it.
In the first place it is interpreted by Man
ager Askin's company, which contains
Digby Bell, Marion Manola, Laura Joyce
Bell, and a good many of the rank and file
of the organization that won fame for Itself
under the title of the McCaull Opera Com
pany. It is hardly necessary to say that
Digby Bell is a tower of strength in any at
tempt to amuse, and that Marion Manola
is in most respects the best comio
opera prima donna in Amerlea. These
are facts which Fittsburgers know. As to
the comio opera "The Tar and the Tartar,"
of which Adam Itzel. a -ronncr Baltimnmnn.
wrote the muslsand Harry B. Smith, the
author of the best libretto vet written
in America. "Robin Hood." Ihn -mm-rie
It is an amusing, lightly-built entertain
ment, not worthy the name of opera per
haps, but laughable beyond question most
of tho time and sprinkled with sufficient
melody and concerted numbers to prevent
the fun from becoming monotonous.
This is a case In which I can speak know
ingly, for I saw "The Tar and the Tartar"
the first night it was played, which was in
Chicago, and again twice in its more perfect
shape in New York this summer. I can un
hesitatingly recommend any one who likes
comio opera of the modern stvle that is,
two-thirds low comedy to one-third tuneful
music to see "Tlio Tar and the Tartar." It
is said in its favor, also, that it had a 17
weeks' run in New York, and considering
the beat of that time, it Is a good deal to say,
although as far as New York verdicts on
comio opera or anything else are concerned,
I would just as soon have the high and au
thoritative opinion of Hoboken any day. To
Manager Askin no doubt the Hew York run
was welcome, for it filled his pockets and
set mo company nrmiy npon us legs; a re
sult which speaks well of the sand and sa
gacity of this very young manager.
One ot the members of this company
haB received several offers to take the opera
to London, whither its fame hasalreadv
gone, but though fallyallve to the value o"f
a London engagement, he has decided to
first prove his rights by the approval of all
the large cities of this country, and conse
quently be will this season tour the United
fetates, but has already arranged to follow
"Alabama" next fall at the Princess Thea
ter, opening November 2, 1892. When in this
city last season with the McCaull Opera
Company, Mr. Askin made his boast that he
would yet have the strongest stock opera
company in America, and a glance over his
list of artists for this season looks as If he
had made good his boast. At all events th
conservative old New York Times of Tubs
for the sorely tried old potter.
The presentation of this drama, it is t:
lsed, will be exactly as it was originally
done bv Mr. Willaid in London and as seen
last season at Palmer's Theater, New York.
The present tour of lir.AVillard Is under Mr.
A. MT Palmer's management, which is in It
self a guaranty that all promises will be
kept. The great scenio feature of the pro
duction is the furnace room showing the
burning kilns. This Is very realistic. The
supporting company is headed by Miss
Marie Burroughs and is made up of high
class artists only.
At Harris' Theater this week Daniel A.
Kelly in "Tho Shadow Detective" will be
the attraction. Last May the same star
played to crowded houses and now he comes
next week better equipped to please the
people, for his play, "The Shadow Detec
tive," has been re-written, and tho critics
say is now a stronger and a smoother play,
in one scene the perfect workings of the
block signal system are shown in full view
of the audience. It is' a marvel of median-
leal realism, and the critics say one of the
best railroad scenes ever rut on a stage.
Other novel effects are introduced, includ
ing a cathedral illuminated in a most beau
tiful style. Mr. Kelly assumes five different
characters, and Is supported by a strong
company of dramatic and specialty people.
The theaters this week offer plenty of
variety in their bills. At the Alvin it is
legitimate drama, at the Duquesne comio
opera, at the Grand Opera House legitimate
comedy, at the Bijou farce comedy, and
Harry Williams, Harris" Theater and the
museums will satisfy the desires of the
balance. Hepburn Johhs.
