c? - , - .., ?, ,- TEE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1; 1891 S,aM.- jg? miry U f J A momentary glance backward at the social domes of last month evidences the truth of a statement in these columns a week or two ago. The burden of entertain ment has fallen on the East End, and with the exception of Mrs. Shiras" reception, Allegheny has not been heard from. Some body, one of those people who always like to explain away any irregular condition of things, says it is because of the difference between Pittsburg and Allegheny houses. In the East End there are few residences without grounds and in Allegheny there are few with them. In warm weather cuests can repair to the gardens, but it v, ould be rather unpleasant to "take the air" on the steps or pavement, as many would have to do if the early season obtained very much in the sister city. "When December come, Allegheny, doubtless, will repay the debt incurred in October. The Shepherd and His Flock. It is a pleasant change in these days, when pastor and church usually part bad friends, to find the ex-pastor of Bellefield Church, Dr. Holland, and his wife, joining with the people in dispensing hospitality to the present incumbent. Dr. Henry McClel lani I am told that Jlrs. McClelland is a very charming woman, who, though she cannot, nor does she wish to, displace Mrs. Holland, has already won the hearts of her husband's parishioners. A regular round of teas Is going on In her honor, in which Mrs. Holland always grace fully tak: part. "Woman Nature In the Streets. A cynic says women do not know their right hands. A more observant cynic might tay that Pittsburg men and women do not know the right side of the street People here have a penchant for digging each other In the ribs, and they don't seem to be com fortable unless they are uncomfortable. "We have been brought to the pass of feeling grateful for a seat on the street cars even for a square, and seem to miss somethine if we are net dunned for our fare half a dozen times in one ride. "Women ere unhappy if they don't take home in the trains of their dresses all the rubbish that gathers on our dirty streets. They miss the opportunity to grumble and brush. They say it is enough to make them profane when they don't hear profanity, though they immediately weaken their cause of complaint by adding that there is always reason for profanity. Keeping; to the Bight. But the right side of the street and men's and women's right hands is the most troublesome matter of the season. The city proper is getting uncomfortably filled with pedestrians. It seems, since we can't or won't govern ourselves, we should be treated like horses, and made to keep to the right as we pass and meet. The Market stree outlet Is becoming Im passible, for the reason that every man fol lows his nose. So many noses and so many men naturally make a confusion. The street is being encroached on, too, but some day a man and a horse will come together, and oh, how that hors.e will suffer! And it will get columns of euloey and have flowers at its funeral, and everybody will say, "How sad," and then forget Seriously, there will be an accident one of these days. There are accidents as it is. Dresses are torn, bangs disordered, corns tramped, hats knocked off their orthodox angle. Upon my word, we make such a human potpourri on that strip of street that I'm half afraid some day after going into it as myself I shall come out as somebody else. Grace, Natural and Acquired. It is said that it is not so important that women are graceful in these days as by what method they are graceful. Some give Edmund Russell the priority, others accord ing to their experience, give it to Jenness Miller, Mrs. Bishop or Miss Annie. Thomas. But as for that heaven-sent gift of natural grace it is completely out in the cold these days. "WTiat, with physical culture, banting and dress reform methods, our Creator, and with all reverence be it spoken, wont know his own handiwork when it returns to him. Is not the Ecv. Seth B. Gordon, of the Elmer Street Presbyterian Church, the most agreeable of men and the most conven ient of pastors to permit his house to be the scene of a fair lor two days? Maeion C. GAT.T.ATrrat.

TEACHING THE TEACHERS. Home Talent Instructs and Entertains the Allegheny Institute What One Fair Pedagogue Learned Uniform Examina tion Questions Delayed Odds and Ends. The first quarterly session of the Alle gheny City Teachers' Institute with home talent as the attraction was held at the High School yesterday morning wTth a very full attendance. The law is very stringent in Allegheny as regards the teachers attend ing institute if they do not attend a half day's salary is tho forfeit One teacher in particular wondered if the rule were merely a bluff to get the teachers to attend and she kept on wondering till at last she said, "I'll stay at home and see what the consequence will be." Tho money was taken out oj her month's pay. "So," she said, "that is what I get for being smart." Mrs. Kemp, principal of the Perrysviile avenue school, Second ward, read a paper on "Practical Hints for the Schoolroom." From her wide experience as a teacher and principal Mrs. Kemp culled the excellent in formation which marked her paper. The appearance, order, cleanliness, etc., of the schoolroom were commented upon. This lady's paper was exceedingly well received. Principal Snyder, of the Fifth ward school, addressed himself to the subject: "Do we teach to strengthen the mind, or to store the mind with facts." The proressor thinks too much of the hitter teaching Is done. Discus sions by the principals followed the reading of both papers. Delayed for "Want of Cash. The suggestive examination questions for the ward schools, prepared by commit-. tees of principals with the view to securing uniformity ol school work, and which were to be ready for to-morrow, have been de layed.

The Theatrical, Bill of Fare. A pleasant diversity is to be observed In the attractions nt the various theaters this week. At the Bijou it is old-fashioned melodrama, at the Alvin, a new farce come dy, at the Duquesne legitimate drama played by a stock company of the highest reputation, at tho Grand Opera House, one of Hanlon's excellent spectacular pieces, at Harris' Theater, an Irish comedy, and at Williams' Academy and the museums varie ty and kindred entertainment. Eveiy theater ought to draw to its full capacity. After Dark nt the Bijou. There is no denyipg the sensational and dramatic interest or Bouclcanlt's "After Dark." Ot its class there is probably noth ing better. This year that enterprising young giant among managers, William A Brady, promises to produce it in bettorstylo than ever, and it may be expected to please tho Bijou's patrons as well as ever, though this is its fourth annual production here in succession. The company Is said to be the stron est yet engaged by Mr .Brady, and the scenery of course will be a strong point. Some novel effects of a startling kind are to be introduced in the railway tunnel scene, and the view or the River Thames at Lon don Bridge Is said to bo unusually lealistic. In the music hall scene, Jim Corbett, tho Beau Erummel, or the pugilistic world, will pu&un megiove3 witn Jim uaiv, tue cnam pion hcavyweicht of Pennsylvania. In this scene Sweeney and Ryland, the Irish pun sters, a well known variety team, will make their first appearance here in four years. Boys and Girls at the Alvin. If the Eastern critics know anything abopt such things, John J. McNaIly"s "Boys and Gills" is one of the best laugh-makers turned out this season. We shall have a chance of Judging for ourselves this week at the Alvin Theater. Mr. McNally showed a knowledge of what the public wants in farce comedy when lie wrote "A Straipht Tip," but it is said that In "Boys and Girls" he has 1 aid more attention to the construc tion of the play as a play. The first act de pends upon its lines, its comedy situations and absurd characters, and It has but one specialty the second act is a bnrlesqneof life in a large but cheap restaurant; and the third act Is mainly devoted to specialties, so that comedy, roaring farce and variety are combined in the play. Mr. McNally has built his plot on the fact that a young man has been left a large fortune on condttiou that ho spend $50,CC0 in six weeks and get married witnin that time. The other char acters who inherit In case the heir does not succeed in spending $59,000 in the allotted time resort to all kind9 of expedients to pre vent him from nai tins from his money. The company includes Slay and Flora Ir win, George Marlon, Otis Harlan, Ignatus Martinetti and other clever people. May Irwin as a fashionable dressmaker and a tough waiter girl ought to be happily cast, and they say she is funnier than ever. A dance she does in Scandinavian shoes is said to be bizarie to a degree. The 1'itou Stock Company. "A Modern Match" and "Geoffrey Mlddleton, Gentleman," aro the two new American plays that the Pitou Stock Com pany are to pi oduce during their first engage ment in this city, which begins at the Duquesne Theater to-morrow evening. "A Modern Match" is tho work of Mr. Clyde Fitch, the author or that bright comedy, "Bean Brummell," in which Richard Mans field achieved such success. It Is a society arama ana treats oi .new iotk social lire. Its story In many.respects is a new one, as Mr. Fitch aims by contrasts to re ward patience and virtue. Synnott and Hunt a well-knonn Wall street firm or bankers rail in business and their finan cial ruin wrecks both their homes and rur-ni-hes the i lot or the play. Mrs. Hunt, un willing to give up her luxurious Hie, aban dons her husband and elopes with a wealthy man about town. Mrs. Synnott, on the con trary, proves her womanhood in the hour or trouble, and in every way tries to lighten her husband's cares. Mr. Synnott, however, has become wholly discouraged, and, rear ing the luture, seeks a suicl.'.e's grave. Mr. Hunt, the junior member or the firm, al though harassed on all sides and betrayed at home, rises above his misfortunes, and in time n gains all that he has lost The comedy element or the play is rurnished by two pair of young lovers and a sweet little child. The play ends happily. "A Modern Match" Is announced lor lour performances only and will bo followed on Thursday evening and for the balance of the week with "Geoffrey Middleton, Gentleman." Miss Maitha Morton wrote this comedy to order for the Piton Stock Company and it is a genuine stock play, that is, there are no star parts. It is divided into three acts and treats of the marriage question. In "Geoffrey Middleton, Gentlemen" she proves that only a love marriage can, bring true happiness to husband and wife. Hanlbns' Superba at the Grand. The reward of keeping faith with the public and allowing nothing even savoring of impropriety in their spectacular pro ductions isy.the 'great popularity to Hanlon Brothers have attained. There is no theatri cal performance given in the course of the year in Pittsburg that commands the pecu liarly family patronage that the Hanlons' always receive. This week they bring to tue Grand Opera House 'Superba," which was accepted by large audiences last year. "Supeiba" is said to lave been entirely revised since its production here last year. Scores of new tricks have been Introduced, and the scenery is, said to be almost entirely new, particularly the transformation, the latest minting ot Mr. H. E. Hovt. The mie. cess of the Hanlon productions is largely in tho clock-like precision with which they are worked. There is greater occasion than ever for this precision, it is said, in the new edition of "Superba." The sceney, elaborate and benutiful as it is, there is scaicely a square foot of it but what is used for some mechanical illusion or another. Clowns and sprites appear and disappear through seemingly impossible entrances and exits, and the wonder is that the scenery under such circumstances will hold together at all. The story upon which the spectacle is based remains as before. There are but lew changes in the cast, the only ones of im portance being in the roles ot soubrette and clown. The former is now played by Miss Daisy Bemsdeu, and the latter by Mr. Will iam Schrode. Miss Maud Mldgely, a na tive of Pittsburg, and Miss Miidied Holland still play the rival queens. Among the new specialties introduced tne most prominent is that or tho famous European acrobats, the Schrode tainily. Weeding Out the Weakest The weak and worn among the lesser traveling attractions are falling fast by the wayside. The Mirror this week contains a column of disasters of this kind, and among the companies upon the rocks are The Run away Wife, Quack M. D., Neil Agrah (Fitzgeiald Murphy's venture), Wills' Two Old Cronies, The Devil's Editor, the An nandale Opera Company, The Boomer, A Pair of Tramps and Uncle Isaac It will be noticed that most of these aie tarce com edies, and altogether since the season began at least a score of these things must have subsided, utter a brief struggle, into the soup. This tulflls the prediction of The Dispatch, and it is a melancholy pleasure to record it Next season the variety stage will recover most oj the deserters who have gone beyond their depth and swallowed a gallon or two of failure in farce comedy. The farce comedy that succeeds now must have unusual elements of strength in the players", ii not in the play. La Clgale's Success In New York. A P- Dunlop writes to Thb "Dispatch from New York: The much-talked ot "La Cigale" was brought out at the Garden,Theater on Mon day evening. It was originally composed by- Audran, or"Ollvotte'and "Mascotte" fame, but'Ivan Caryl, husband of our own Geral dine Ulmar, toucued it up for Londoners. Chivot and Daru wrote the original libretto, and It was put Into English by F.C.Burnand, of -Pimcft. It deals in a heavy manner with tho fable of the ant and grasshopper, the lat ter frolicking through the summer and wast lng.Its substance In riotouslivlng.being com pelled to crave assistance from tho indus trious former. In the opera, tho ant and the grasshopper are sisters, the former the prima donna, tho'latter the village maiden. The libretto is heavy, lugubrious and lacking in fun. There are but three catchy numbers, one beginning with "Ono Day Margot," tho second a gavotte, and the th id a concerted piece. The libretto is of course well written and the musio is always agreeable, but neither Impresses itself upon one. That the book is not interesting may not astonish anyone, for the English comic opera is woe fully dull.but if the music bo Audran's, then he must be thoroughly played out. Tho only feature of the performance to rave about is Lillian Rnssell. Her voice was magnificent pure.ringing and unerring. Shohasnoverap pcared tobetteradvantage.althoughitlsnot possible to compllmen t her on her acting. In Paris the part Mis Russell sings was cre ated by the wonderful Jeanne Granier. Our own Lillian sings better and looks better, but tho other members of the company can not be compared to the original French cast. Tagliapietra, who has been in this country a long time, has not mastered Eng lish sufficiently to make himseir understood and Carl Stnetman speaks in dislocated German, which makes the performance somewhat polyglot. The opera was put on literally regardless cf expense, and nothing produced on this side of tho Atlantic speaks more plainly of managerial liberality and less artistic value. The New York papers agree in declaring "La Cigale" a success, and Lillian Russell the chief cause or this happy resu'.t This establishes the Garden Theater as a rival or the Casino for pre-eminence in comic opera. Something About Slartha Morton. Tho recent performance of "The Mer chant" and the approaching one of "Geoffrey Middleton," may make the following sketch or the author's life Interesting: Miss Martha Morton is a young woman under CO years of age and remarkably well educated. After studying in the New Yoik public schools sho was sent to London nnd there came iu contact with many of England's brainiest men and women. Literature was her hobby and George Eliot her model. Artor a two years' visit at the home of a lelative, an official in the Queen's service, Miss Morton went to Paris and in that city she studied French dramatic literature. That the drama of the Parisians made an impression upon her mind is made apparent in "Hclene or the Refugee's Daughter," a play In which both Clara Morris and Cora Tanner have won success. Miss Mortou next visited Germany, but there she devoted her time to the study of music and languages, for both of which she lias a fondness. Upon her return to Amer ica her services were enlisted for a charit able affair in wliich society was to appear. For this event Miss Morton prepared a trav Isty upon "May Blossom," and a single Serforinance netted over $4,100. MKs orton's next attempt atdrauiatio writ ing was "The Merchant" Her next effort was "Geoffrey Middleton, Gentle man," and judging by many favorable criticisms, the play is above tho average. Besides writing for the stage, Miss Morton devotes considerable time to writing short stories for tho magazines, and at least one of her novels has had an unusually large sale, she is an expert musician and a mom berof many of the leading musical societies of New York. Miss Morton would hardly bo termed a handsome woman and yet he has a very interesting face, with bright, spark ling eyes. Whallen and Marten's Varieties. In Whallen and Martell's company the stars seem to be numerous, and Harry Will iams' Academy should be as popular as ever this week. The "Big Nine," including five Martells and four Pnanlons, give a wonder ful series of aciobatio bicycling and other specialties. The mldralr comedy which Basco nnd Roberts play, is said to be quite novel, and anotber re markable performance on the wire is that of William Kappes. Other features of the show are Harry and Mamie Good rich's dancing, Golden's whistling and the sketch by Golden and May, the Earls' mu sical act, Cradock, Bonnie Thornton's top ical songs, and La Drew's singing and act ing. Lilly Langtry Coming Again. Lilly Langtry is going to make another American tour and will reach Pittsburg in the spring. The stories about her beauty having been demolished by the fist or a jealous admirer, which were cabled over trom England last year-are now denied, and it is said that us far as her face and figure are concerned, and they have always been her principal stock in trade, the Jersey Lilly will be as attractive as ever. Barry Davis' Museum-Theater. Harry Davis has two remarkable freaks of nature at the Fifth Avenue Museum Theater for the coming week. One Is Jona than Bass, the man who has been gradually turning into bone for a number of years. He is now bone from head to loot, stiff and Immovable. His attendant takes him in his hands and stands him upon his feet facing tho audience, holding him there while he makes an address. Bass cannot move a. muscle except those of Ills lips and those only slightly. He is led with a spoon and requires unremitting attention. Yet with all this be is cheerful and even happy. A great reading man until he lost his sight a lew years since, his attendant now reads to him constantly, and Bass can therefore con verse In an Interesting manner upon- the topics of the day, as well as upon many ab struse subjects connected with history, Bcienceand philosophy. Jonathan Bass is to-day one of the greatest living curiosities on the museum stage. Besides Bass, Mr. Davis has engaged William Wells, the man with the iron skull. Mr. Wells has been a Government scout for many years, and holds the scout medal for bravery In Indian scrimmages. He has a most extra ordinary skull. It is three times the thick ness of most men's skulls, and he allows any one to smash an Inch plank of hard wood upon his head with sledge hammers. Mr. Wells has dozens of letters from prominent physicians testifying to the extraordinary nature of his head. In the theatorium Mr. Davis has thoSheerans,'Carnivalians a com pany comprising a score or so ol well-known specialty penuiuiers. .a-nugeiuer ine rum Avenue Museum will be a very interesting plaoe to visit this week. Election Berarns From the Stage. The election returns will be read from the stage of the Alvin Theater on Tuesday, and Manager Davis will have a special wire laid on. Jim Corbett, the pugilist, will read the returns at the Bijou, and anyone object ing to the news read is at liberty to step upon the stage and argue with Mr. Corbett At tho Grand Opera House Manager Wilt has made arrangements also to read the news from the stage as soon as it comes. Elaborate arrangements have been male lor the same purpose at Harris' Theater. An operator will receive the returns ot the theater and between the acts they will be shown upon a big white drop curtain, W111CO will uo let uuwii. ji. stereopticon will be used to do this. Not only will the returns ne Qispiayea tnus uetween tne acts, but after the perloimance and as long as the audience cares to stay. Tho Black Thorn at Harris. That favorite Irish comedian with the funny twitching face and delightfully orig inal dialect, Joe J. 8ulllvan, comes here next week with his musical comedy "The Block Thorn." Both star and play have been warmly welcomed wherever seen, as may be udged from the following criticism from the Brooklyn Times: "The play in which Mr. Sullivan appears as Denny Dolan, a warm-hearted Irishman, is one of many strong points, running over with sparkling musical gems, and the clever manner in which the entire company por traed their respective parts brought forth the heartiest applause last night from the large audience.", , Theatrical Odds and Ends. Tne past week has not developed any thing astonishing In the dramatic way. '! ha Power of tho Press," and "Tho County Fair" are neither of them remarkable, in their way, although supurb staging in each case, but especially In that of the rbrmer, has made them acceptable to the public. The Koyal Midgets, with thb exception of three or four of the dwarfs, ar"e not much above the museum line. The grand opera at the Duquesn, or course, belongs to an other field, but one may stop to remark what a magnetio and poweriul actress the dramatic stage lost when Mme. Uauk es poused opera. The average advance agent Is not or much service to the newspaper writer about the stage, though most ot them mean well. It Is only common gratitude to remark that William P. Gross, representing the Pitou stock company. Is a shining example or the advance agent who advnnces, so to speak. The Nevr York Dramatic Mirror is fortunate in having obtained so able and upright a representative here as Mr. Edward J. Don nelly. The multitude of managers with whloh every grand opera troupe is afflicted makes men about a theater mad as often as merry. But Mr. Cullen, the doorkeeper at the Duquesne, had to laugh when one or the Hauk company's officials tried to pass into tho Duquesno the other night. "I'm the manager," said the man. "Manager or what?" asked Cullen. "I manaira the sella of the"bookal" said the Italian gentleman with sublime hauteur. Complaints abont the Irequent changing of the repertoire at the Duquesne Theater last week were very numerous. It was the fault of the Hank Ope a Company's many managers including the prima donne-undoubtedly that the published repertoire was changed thrice. It was a costly piece or blundering, too, Tor it kept a gi eat many people away from tho theater. A repertoire once in print should stand. The next time an opera company plays the rool with its patrons in this way there will be a sharper rebuko in tho right place. Emma Juch's Approaching Visit. Judging from impartial criticisms in various cities, the Juch Opera Company, which will appear in an extended repertoire at the Grand Opera House, during the week of November 16, is in good shape, musically or vocally speaking, beyond a doubt. The lepertoire has been arranged as follows: Monday, "Tannhauser"; Tuesday, "Faust"; Wednesday, "Lohengrin"; Friday, "Romeo and Juliet" and "Cavallcria Rnsticana"; Saturday matinoe, "II Trovatore." and Sat urday night, "The Bohemian Girl." The popularity of "Cavalleria Rnsticana," I should think, would lead to a change in the repertoire before the sale of seats begins on Monday, November 9. HErarits Johns. Stage Whispers. Mr.s. Langtet is booked at the New York Standard for January 25, when her Ameri can tour begins. Ai-TEH several flip-flaps "The High Roller" has started afresh under Alexander Com stock's management. Baktlet Campbell's "White Slave" will follow "After Dark" at the Bijou. The com pany is said to be very strong. The advance sale of tickets for tho Emma Juch Opera Company will open Monday, November 19, instead of the fqllowing Thurs day. The Lady Rowers, who were at Harry Davis' last week, will open at Johnstown to morrow for a 48-hour rowing contest with local athletes. Nfxt season Rich & Harris, tho proprie tors nnd managers of "Boys and Girls," in tend to star May Irwin, who has the most prominent part in "Boys and Girls." Geohoe F. Marion, the clever comedian, tells an extremely funny story in dialect in the musical farce comedy, "Boys and Girls." The subject is "An Italian on Baseball." Frank Daniels has been investing some of his money in real estate in the States of Washington and Montana. The comedian lias great confidence in Pacific coast property. New uniforms have been provided for all the attaches of the Fifth Avenue Museum, and it looks as if tho West Point Academy had broken loose in Harry Davis' popular house. Thep.e is no truth in the statement that the Ossified Man will dance a hornpipe for the championship with the Man with the Iron Sku.l at the Fifth Avenue Museum this week. McKee Rankin and Frank Mayo will, after all, not star jointly. "Rankin has gono to the Pacific coast, and Henry Lee, Just arrived from London, takes bis place as co-star with Mr. Mayo. For.D'3 English Comedy Company, whloh was seen here at the beginning of , the sea son, "has fared better than could have been expected. Mr. Ford has extended the sea son from 10 to 30 weeks. "Sinbad" will start back on Its way East from San Francisco next week. It turned away people for five successive weeks at Baldwin's Theater, and will be seen In Pitts burg around the holidays. PnoFEssor. J. Frank Stanlet, the lecturer at Harry Davis' Museum, says he has deliv ered nearly a thousand lectures on the Ossi fied Man in other cit cs, and can always find something new to say about him. , De Wolf Hopper and his merry crew opened last Monday night in Philadelphia and "Wang" repeated Its suocess. Delia Fox, Annie O'Keefe and Alfred Kline made distinct hits. The elephant is surely a feat ure in the burletta. We are to have "Wang" here In three weeks. Another grand work from the pen of Leonard Grovcr has been inflicted upon a suflering world. "The Wolves or New York-'prodnced at the Windsor Theater, New l'ork, last week, is another or those lurid pictures or crime and misery which some people dignUy with the name of melo drama. Mr. Chablis B. Hanpord, the well-known leading man formerly with Booth and Barrett, has purchased from the Barrett estate all the scenery, costumes, property, etc., or the magnificent Booth and Barrett production or "Jullns Caesar." and will star next season, playing the part ol Marc Antony exclusively. Miss Maude Midglet, who enacts the title role in Hanlon Bros.' "Superba," Is a native or Pittsburg and has won an enviablo repu tation by her thoroughly artistlo rendition or tno part, xnis is juiss Miagieys seconc season with the company and sho will an This is Mis Midsley's second pear in new costumes of a handsome and costly character. Vida Crolt, a daughter of Jennie Jnne, in Mr. Pitou's stock company, , married Frederick Sidney a few days ago. Mr. Sid ney is the author of a "A Loving Legacy," which the Pitou Company will produce shortly. The play is pretty broad comedy, turning upon the embarrassment of a man who is left a harem Dy an Eastern relative. Howard Paul says that on a Pullman buffet car the other day, railing It rapidly New Yorkward, he ordered breakfast The duskv norter bronzht him a half-cooked epg. "This egg is not done," said Paul, tap- j ping tho shell disgustedly. "Oh, I'll take it back and cook it another mile!" exclaimed the porter, in whose whirling life miles had taken the place of minutes. There is a genuine curiosity felt about young J. K. Emmet, who will appear in His father's shoes at the Grand Opera House shortly. He Is trying very hard no doubt to fill his father's place, and according1 to a multitude of newspaper notices that have reached The Dispatch is- succeding to a great extent. Part of his success is undoubt ent. .ran oi nis success is nnuouot- hith. iianrtomriB snt-Mnl in.n, edly uue to i and good company that he carries with him. .. 7. . 7.. 77 J "Robin Hood," presented by the Boston lans, has scored an enormous success at the Standard Theater, New York, and; would un doubtedly run the entire season in that city did not out-of-town contracts interfere with such an arrangement. For four weeks the Standard Theater has been crowded. Last night (the closing ono of tho engagement) thousands were unable to gain admission. "Robin Hood" comes to the Duquesne next week. To be the leading comedienne of "A Jolly Surprise" requires more talent than that which generally falls to the lot of ordinary soubrettes. The play, a musical farce, is somewhat different, if not better, than other plays of the same class. It differs inasmuch as the plot is well defined. Miss Rico achie es success for her part, her play and herself, with the aldt or some very clever comedians. She is booked for au early date at the Grand. A W. Pinebo's new plav, "The Times," was produced at Terry's Theater, London IS YourBafcmg O Powder Pure , It may masquerade as " absolutely pure ; " perhaps you think it is ; but you may know whether it is adul terated with ammonia or not if you , Te5t it Mix one heaping: teasooonful of ba'iing powder with one spoonful A cab it. oj .ater in a tin cup; boil thoroughly for a few moments, stir to prevent burning, and if ammonia is present you can smell it in the rising steam.

COMPARISONS COMPARISONS are only odious to those who have have unworthy articles to compare. We can only gain a knowledge of value by comparison. A garment which has only six months' service in - it certainly is not as valuable by nalfzs one which will serve a year and it should cost only half as vmch. If you have been buying the six months' garment at the year garment price you certainly have not been getting value received. We want to inform you; we want to show you the difference there is in clothing. We want to show garments of the best service, at the price you have been paying for the poorer sort. On the other hand you have perhaps been paying the tailor his higher price for garments of no more beauty, comfort and service than ours. Now, you can only know these things by comparison.

ILL ALTERATIONS TO .UPHOVE 11 FIT DOSE FBEE OF GHSHEL OPPOSITE CITY HALL October 24. For practically the first time tho critics had a copy of the play rurnished them the day before the performance, and as the audience filed out after the fall of the curtain each was presented with a book. This innovation, which was made possiblo Yttr .vtn .MaaifrA nf t.ViA American coTJVrizbt law, will raite afresh the whole question of literature on the stage. It was a dismal, ratny night in a one-night stand In Indiana. The depressed comedians wero trvlnsr their best to be funny In a farclal skit called "Early in the Morning. The manager. Will McConnell, was moodily At .i,a..ir,nm.. fnwprfinfl wondering how no Would Set to the next town. The ad- vance agent oi tne troupe to wu ;". and cheerily inquired how business was. "Fine " replied McConnell, with enthusiasm. "Great! splendid! I've been out seven weeks now, and all I have sent my wife is the rou'e!" Sib Edwin Aknold, author of "The Light of Asia,"and editor of the London Telegraph, told a Dramatic Mirror reporter that he cave a good deal of space in his paper to Don nelly's attack on Shakespeare, but he added: "Not because I had any sympathy with his alleged discovery. I am tairlv well read in Shakespeare's playo. I think I know half of them by heart. Mr. Donnelly's views al woraotrnptmp n heiri!? -nrenosterous and highly improbable. As to the alleged cipher, lam sure that the most fantastic story could be made out between the lines of any book. No, Mr. Donnelly did not do Shakespeare very much harm. We are too fond of him to allow him to do that." A good joke is related on Manager McCul lough, of the Duquesne Theater. Mr. Mc Cullough is something of a musician, but he is not exactly up in the property require ments of "carmen." When Minnie Haufc appeared Monday night, Mr. McCullough's c.trir. at- rnno-ht qiht or a cracked mirror i -"";: J "ir" iXi- .,. nma in .,'- hr-lr on the stage. He lost no time in flj ing DacK . tha rnnlrtT? TTlfcTl. flTlfl dPtnanUed lO know how he allowed a broken mirror on the stage of the Duquesne Theater, lie was informed gently that the mirror must be broken in accordance with the plot of the opera, and then he murmured that grand opera people were all a little cracked any how, and sadly wended his way back to the front of the house. Marie Bureouohs, who played here with Willard, writes: "i'he week in Pittsburg was most satisfactory to Mr. Willard, and, by the way. the theater theie, the Alvin. is simply perfection! with a big P and a double ex clamation mark!! (Thus.) Not only in front, but the stage, and above all, the dressing rooms-!!! (More exclamation points, please.) What do vou think or my having the com fortand luxury or a beautiful little sitting room famished In exquisite taste with a dressing room and a large bathroom adjoin ing?
