Hany "ew Teople in the Cast.
ALL THE THEATEICAL ATTRACTIONS
The testimony, asainst Jlessrs. Charlie
J5ced and William Gollier is direct and con
clusive. They have not ouly manufactured
and uttered a farce comedy, but have con
Fjiired with divers others to circulate it.
The performance of this farce comedy,
wliicn bears the familiar but not pretty
name of "Hb.s and Hos," i- practically all
ihe defense offered. The charge is a serious
one, especially this season, when authors
aud actors to the number of some
1W), at least, are undermining the public
anity with larce-comedics. ISutthe defense,
jliat is the performance of "Hossand Hos,"
is so srovl that anv iurv with average ccner-
osity will acquit them of any crime, unless
it be ciimiual to make an audience laugh
without more than" stopping for breath from
S:15 til 110:45.
"Hosvand llos?" is not hard to classify.
I is a farce comedy, but w ithout as much
plot as would- cover a dime. IV-ictically
plotless it yet introduces us to a good deal of
human natuic, generally burlesqued more
ir less, and to such a string of
ridiculous incidents that before one laugh
is done another mnt be begun. Herein;
undoubtedly the chief merit of "Hoss and
Ho" lies," namely, that the audience is
never allowed time to consider why it
laucrhed before it is asked to laugh again.
The farce does not drag for a moment ironi
first to last.
Charlie Reed is a lawyer of slightly
Hibernian color, who makes speeches, tells
stories r.nd sings patter songs as only
Charlie 1'eed can. The address to the
jurr in behalf of a woman charged
wi'n ".ain" a tipstave of the
onirt, into which Mr Used drags David
and Goliath as a diversion, as well as an
illustration, is very close to what jurv
haraugues generally are, a choice mixture of
bunkum and nioek-reasoning. It is de
liriously funny.
"William Collier made up in a masterly
manner as a country judge, again shows
"uliai a good comedian in higher parts he is
bound to be if he doesn't stay in farce
comedy too long. As it is, the quiet humor
of his characterization is very telling.
There are flashe- of broader fun in his work,
loo, ot equal efi'ect. Arthur K.
Moulton is right and breezy as Birdie Moss
ana James B. Gentry's Yankee Sheriff is
amusing as a burlesque of the down East
official. Among the girls there is abo
Jute.lv not one unworthy of praise. Thev
are all pleasant to gaze upon, the- can all
dance and their voices aie tar
AllOVK THE AVERAGE
farce comedy article, iliss Helena Colfier's
dance in the second act is a dreamy thing,
full of graceful sinuations, but not insinu
ative. It is a lar prettier dance than
the so-called "kangaroo" ail.iir we should
oil it a plain kick up with a
rather lolty accent on the kick
which JIUs Collier docs in act L Miss
3Jary Yohc looks bewilderingly pretty and
sings with that singular voice of hers feel
ingly. Jliss Kot-a France's voice is, as
I'ittbburgers have known in other
years, not only of rare beauty in
i!,-eir, but admirably trained and it
figured verv proiuhientlv in the
t-eitette from "Lucia," which was wel
sung. Miss France's ill health, it is to be
rejrietted, prevents her larger participation
an the piay at present. A new comer and a
welcome .nc is another pretty dancer and
singer. Miss Adele Harringtou. Helen
Iteiijier and Lillian Jtamsdeu are clever
comedians, and the latter's wonderful
dancing brought down the house.
!Xow added to tle individual efforts are
the concerted finging and dancing of the
companv. and the work of the Abbott
tiarrct;o, which was good though not over
whelmingly new. and the whole perform
ance has a snap and go to it w hich w e have
not been equaled except in "The
City Directory." The songs are
very largely new and reflect
credit upon the composer, Mr. Frank
Palima, who is the musical director of the
company. The Heau l.rummel duet in act
by Moulton & Hockert is very neat and
new in style, iteed has several new songs,
including "The Ticker" and a topical ditty
or two. The audience which filled the
house to the doors marked their approval of
the play with any amount of laughter and
applause. Therefore "Hoss and Hoss" may
be written down a success.
THE CITY DIEECIOEY
Once More Opened to the I'nbllc With
laughing Kebults at the Alvin.
There is no reason for the existence of the
average farce comedy beyond one season,
and one that lies as long as "The City
Dircctory" has done and still is most
amusing, must have something in it of un
Ciual merit. And "The City Directory"
undoubtedly has genuine merit, not so
much in itself as in its interpreters. Buss-ell's
Comedians are still the strongest or
ganization of the sort in the business;
and though the performance given last
night diilercd in some particulars from
last season's it had the same good finalities,
endless fun, good singing and some remark- )
able dancing. The house, which was a
mighty one, witn a three-ply belt of
"standees" at the back of the parquet, en
joyed the whole thing immensely, encoring
everything encorable, and giving bucS
things as Amelia Glover's famous dance
cxtraordinarj applause..
The new people in the cast are capable
and give origiual color to the characters if
they may be gnen the dignity of that
amine which they assume. For instance,
Dan Dalj- a worthy member of r. family of
actors makes a new and gravely funny
being ol tiie stage manager the part of
-which "William Collier made so much
last year. Mr. Daly is probably
the lankct, linipest and most solemn-faced
comedian who ever made an audience
roar. There is as much laughter in his lack
lustre eye and bald, deserted face as most
clow ns w ould be glad to raise w ith a teu
acre grin. Mr. Daly is certain
ly a low comedian of unique
methods. As a dancer his teps
take a new path also: notably in the Mari
onette d.-.nce in act I, and the waltz dance
with pretty Bessie Cleveland in Act III.
Luke ehoolcralt kept his black face on,
and bis darkey fun was as good as ecr,
while Keatn.tm's utory telling and general
fooling weie clever "in their way also.
Charles Seaman has added a farcical study
of a German actor to his automatic dude,
end both are amusing. For some occult
reason Julius P. Wiatmark, a new comer,
is labeled a bnryionc on the progrgmcie, but
as far "The City Diiectory" levies upon his
voice it is plainly a tenor, and a good one
at that Mr. Miron still has ihat delicious
bass, with which he endows that extremely
ludicrous advance agent In the vocal way
the company remains vcrv strong. Miss
Ie:sie Cleveland's sympathetic voice hav
ing a pure sweetness all its own. Miss
Ivclsoand the lest of the company, almost
without exception, liave good voices and
use them well.
A sentence is as good as a page about the
dancing of Amelia Glover, "the litjle
fawn." It is unique, and it is charming:
A PAIE OF MELODRAMAS.
IteallFm, In Ships and Horseflesh, Is the
Motit o Power in Both.
With "Money Mad" at the Opera House,
and "The Patrol" at the Bijou, the town
i.nd enough melodrama to go around last
night. Thev say the o::e is melodrama
proper and the other comedy drama. There
are delicate distinctions that only the
student of this kind of work can appreci
ate. In "Monev Mad" there is a bridge,
from which the "hero th-ows himself, while
he pours forth a rounded sentence glowing
with the finest human sentiment. The
"hurry-up" wagon is the climax in "The
Patrol" Even- thinking man must regret
that two such fine horses should be taken
from an useful avocation to supply us with
what is after all a luxury. And it is not
easv to understand how it comes that a
bridge may be melodrama and a patrol
wagon comedy drama.
"Money Mad" is an old play of Steele
Mackaye"'s, written some ten years ago,
produced and killed. Last year it was
resurrected and appears to be still thriving.
The author may be forgiven for writing the
play because he did so ten years ago
when he certainly was younger.
But the revival of it is an unnecessary re
minder that Mr. Mackave can write very
thrashy stuff. Neither is this revival note
worthy of good acting. Only scenically is
it strong. The appearance of a big steamer
crossing the stage is a clever piece of illu
sion and theatrical mechanics. This and
other sensational points in the play won
much applause.
"The Patrol" is more entertaining
than "Monev Mad" because its text
ure is not so closely woven with
crime; more light struggles through. There
is bright singing by a clever boy which
brought down the "house. Miss Blanche
Boyer as a little bootblack dances very
gracefully, and the quartette composed of
Messrs. Hastie, Schramm, Glenning and
Knowlton received anv amount of
applause and a curtain call. The
musical and comedy features of
the plav. and the intense realism of the
arrival of the patrol wagon in the nicfc of
time, are us cuiei sirengin. i is a oener
play, probably, than when it was seen here
before, and as companies in this sort of
work go, the one which acts "The Patrol"
is good enough. But the white horses are
the stars.
A mnsemen t Notes.
Two Iarpe audiences enjoyed Miss Go-won-
co Mohaw k's Indian play nnd'her beautitul
Indian ponies at Harris' Theater yesterday.
The play is a stirring picture of western
life, and is well done.
HvDt's Vaudeville Compact pleased a big
audience at Harry Williams' lastnisht. The
artists in tins company are well-known
here, including James F. Hoey, who is as
funny as ever, the Lc Fie trio, Hclene Mora,
who has a new sons, the Weston Brothers,
w ho do a very clcv er turn as Italian and
negro musicians, and others of note. Jack
McAuliife's windnp with the irloves. In
which he and James Nelson pounded each
other well, set the audience wild.
There is a rattling good in-door circus at
the World's Museum this week. It is Greg
ory Bi others winter circus. The Gregorys
are very clever gymnasts and they aro sup
ported by a number of good people includ
ing: Mollie and George Bellord, who do a
great trapeze act; Frank Seamom, with In
dian clubs: the Bartlett family, crack rilio
snots, anu uporce tiartzcn,n good comedian.
A white horse named Dollie also does a
number of very amusing and surprisingly
intelligent trie"ks. The rest of the show is
equally good.
The season of grand opera, which will he
gin at the Duqncsne Theater on Monday,
October 2G, promises to be the most notable
musical event of many years. The Minnie
Ilauk Grand Ope:a Company, to which we
shall be indebted for this rare opportunity,
is. it is claimed, one of the
strongest and most evenly balanced
operatic organizations that has ever visited
our city. It is a company that will have no
off nights, for instead or being nn organiza
tion with a single star, surrounded by an
inferior company, it is a company of stars,
artists whose names are recognized
both in this country and in Europe as
occupying the highest rank in their pro
fession. The tepretoire is as follow.: Mon
tay, "Carmen;'' Tuesday and Wednesday,
"Cavallena Kusticana: ' Thursday, "La Tra
yiata;" Friday, "Lohengrin;" Saturday mat
inee, a popular opera, ana saturuay even
ing, "Faust''
Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum waB
visited by more people yesterday than ever
probably w ent to a place of entertainment
in Pittsburgh in one day before. From 10 a.
m. till 11 2. ji. the building was packed with
eager si'ht-seers. They were attracted by
the wonderful freak of nature, Laloo, and
that young man had the pleasure of review
ing several thousands of Pittsburgers and
hearing all sorts of comments upon his ap
pearance. That he is a good-looking young
man must be conceded by everyone. At the
examination by a seore or so ot prominent
nhj-hicians yesterday morning Laloo an
swered" all questions in a bright, Intel
ligent manner, and made suggestions
occasionally that helped the doctors
to a better understanding of the
anomaly hi presents in his double
entity. The decision of the Pittsburg
physicians is that this extraordinary pair of
twins can never be separated and live.
Laloo is conscions of pain when any part of
bl sister is pinched, which in itself is pioof
that the blood circulates thiough the
two bodies, and therefore makes them
practically one. In tact, when he walked
into the museum yesterday morning puffing
a cigar no one would have suspected that
the apparently very stout young man in a
large ulster was anything less than a gentle
man or leisure getting a great deal out of
lite. In addition to Laloo, Harry Davis has
a good vaudeville entertainment, headed by
feheridan and Wright.

A DUEL BETWEEN MEXICAN BIVAtS.
Without Attendants They Fight for the
Band of a Spanish Senorita.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct 19. Victor
iano Velasco and Espinoro Kemirez, two
young Mexican gallants of this city, have
for some time been paying their respects
to the same Spanish senorita. She is a
handsome young lady, bnt refused to en
courage one suitor more than the other, so
the two rivals decided to settle the contest
by a duel to the death. They chose a small
room, in an old unoccupied hotel in the
Mexican quarter, for the scene of the com
bat They went there alone at midnight last
night, and, stripping to the skin, began the
battle, each using a long, sharp stiletto.
The rivals had been fighting for some time
when the attention of a policeman was at
tracted to the place by the noise. He forced
an entrance and found both men in a terri
ble condition. Each was covered with blood,
which was flowing from many cuts. They
were separated and taken to the hospital,
and both mav die.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Swallow-Tail Coat still retains its old-time popularity
as the one and only garment suitable for full dress. Many
efforts to replace it with something a little further removed fromr
the servants' livery have been made, but none have been suc
cessful, and it remains to-day the only style of garment tolerated
by Fashion for all occasions where full dress is required.
It is essentially an evening garment, and should not be
worn during the day under any circumstances.
We carry a full line of them the year around and can per
fectly fit gentlemen of all shapes and sizes.
We supply a fine West of England Broadcloth, made and
trimmed in a manner which no merchant tailor can excel, at
from $15 to $30.
Full Dress Pants from $5 to $9.
Don't pay your tailor $50 to $60 for a Full Dress Suit
when you can procure one of equally fine material, and made
and trimmed as perfectly, from us for $30.
We also have a line of Full Dress . Coats and Vests which
we hire to those who but seldom use the garment and do not
care to incur the expense of buying one.
