Since a shorter time that usual baa elapsed
between Miss Carnegie'scomingoutball and

In the youns lady's drawing room

The above are the theatrical attractions
for this week;
The Piton Stock Company has made a
name for itself already lu Pittsburg, and it
can command from henceforth hearty sup
port hero. Of course a new company, with
out tin prestige of long establishment in
New York, such as the few stock companies
in existence have, could not expect to at
tract the attention of the theater-going
puono till performance had borne out the
promises of Its managers. It must be ac
knowledged that the Piton Stock Company is
all that Mr. Pitou promised, it should be, an
organization of artists of the first class.
Such finished and complete productions
as "A Modern Matoh" and "Geoffrey
Middleton. Gentleman," as presented at
this company's hands, are very rarely
seen here, or Indeed anywhere outside of a
very few of the first-class theaters In New
York. For this opportunity to see really
the best acting under most favorable condi
tions the public cei tainlv owes Mr. Pitou a
large debt of gratitude. The rik of such an
undertaking, both in money and reputation,
is as great as the possible reward, but hap
pily I believe Mr. Pitou will get the latter.
In Miss Minnie Seligman the American
stage undoubtedly has an actress of unusual
talent and culture. After seeing her
in the difficult and very unpleasant role of
Violet Hvnlin "A Modern Match," and the
verv different character of Margaret Merritt
in ""Geoffrev Middleton," it is impossible to
deny that Miss Seligman is a clean head and
shoulders above her cotemporaries of the
emotional school- She possesses the in
tuitive srenius of tho bom actress, and to
this is added a cultivated intelligence and
earnest ambition that should place her in a
few years at the very top of the theatrical
ladder. It is gratifying to know that Pitts
burg showed its appreciation of Miss Selig
man's work In an unwontedly hearty man
ner. Miss Seligman is a young woman, whose
stage career is of no more than four years
duration, and she has in that time risen
with extraordinary rapidity. Her person
ality has u distinct and peculiar charm, and
the crods have been generous to her in the
matter of phvsical beauty. Of course, her
VOlCe IS H1U1UU1UUS illlU lUnClim-111- UUL1C93
can expect to be great without that and
she appears to have been taught elocution
and. indeed, all the acquired art she pos
sesses in the best schools. Talking of elocu
tion, it is a curious little fact that a number
oryearsagoaprotessoroi eii-cucion in new
York took both Miss Seligman and Miss
Jane Stuart, the brilliant young com
edienne, who was then a school girl
of 15, to recite before the great Augustin
Daly at the same time. Mr. Daly pooh
poohed their pretentions loftily, and it Is a
somewhat singular coincidence that both
voting women are now together again, but
this time in the front rank of accepted pop
ular favorites.
Miss Selisman objects to playing the ex
tremely offensive heroine of "A Modern
Match," because, as 6 lie says, the publio is
too apt to conclude that It Is not so much
art as nature that enables her to make snch
a truthful picture of fallen womanhood. To
put it frankly, people, especially women,
will insist that Mi-s Seligman has
acquired her knowledge of this phase
of human nature through her own
experience. This, of course, is not
the case. The supposition is a compliment
to the artist but hardly to the woman. If
Miss Seligman s Identity Is revealed in her
work at all it ia more in the warm-hearted,
noble woman wbom Miss Morton has made
the heroine of "Geoffrey Middleton." Still
we should have only learned a small part ot
Miss Seligman's abilities if she had been con
fined to this heroic role, and while we may
disapprove of Mr. Fitch's drama the strength
of the character which dominates it is un
deniable, as is the wonderful mastery
of all emotions which Miss Seligman
exhibits in her embodiment of it.
Miss Seligman belongs to the new cult
which seeks to mirror nature as she is;
whose cardinal rule is be natural, and whose
supreme guide in histrionic art is nature.
The cult I say is new, but It isn't every
really great actor has practiced its pre
cepts, and has scoi ed the grandest triumphs
when he has succeeded in approaching near
est to nature.
A curious contrast to the performance of
the Pitou Company was that of another
band of actors under Mr. Pitou's manage
ment two weeks ago in "The Power of the
Press." I couldn't say much for theactors in
this melodrama, but they satisfied the
management and the publio to some extent,
whereas when tho play was first produced
in New York with such people as Miss Selig
man and Wilton Lackaye in the cast it
pleased nobody, it is said. Why? Because
the play, being woefully untrue to nature,
actually lost strength when Interpreted by
uumrs nuu ucucvcu m lmuiik imiurai. xue
awful and absurd thing called modern melo
drama must be ranted and roared or the
nnhlie won't have it. That is wh.ifc tli man
agers tell mo. I don't believe this is all thev
trutn.DUt mere isnoquestion tuatitls worse
than cruel, it is absolutely useless, to
put good actors into cheap melodrama,
vintage 1890. But the public has shown time
and again that it does waut and can appre
ciate nature upon the stage. If the play and
the performers combine to reproduce lifeTas
it really is. The managers might study this
phase of the matter, and, perhaps, a way to
se ve the cause of true art, to elevate popu
lar taste and theatrical standards, and to fill
their own pockets at the same time, might
become clear to them. It is an insult to the
great mass of theater-goers to say that they
do not prefer natural acting to theatrical
exaggeration and burlesque. The farce.
In its various forms, is well enough,
but there is a great demand only half
satisfied nowadays for closer copies of con
temporary life and of human nature of all
ages in dramatlo rorm, and to satisfy this
ci aving, which is akin to that which has
produced a school of novelists to-dav, such
companies as Mr. Pitou's, and suoh plays as
Miss Morton's have arrived In good time.
At the Grand Opera House next week, J.
K. Emmet the only son of the late comedian
of the same name, will make his first ap
pearance in Pittsburg, in his father's most
notable play: "Fritz in Ireland." Young
Emmet is particularly desirous In coming
before the publio not to be understood as
challenging comparsion with his lather. An
extract from an interview with tho son is a
fitting quotation here:
"My idea of succeeding my father and
taking up the thread of his stage life where
he left it off is not a new one. It was my In
tention, long years before his death, and
my many years In his management were
also years of rehearsal under his immediate
direction. ,116 believed, and I think the
world conceded it, that his creation of the
Dutch character in the lines attempted was
entirely original. He meant to portray the
great, big, overgrown German emigrant lad
with a heart as vast as space, the good
natured Dutt of every Joke, who
met sorrow with a song and raillery with a
Jest, and who was equally successful in win
ning the hearts of children, whether risking
his lire to save others singing them Inllabys
or carrying them on his broad shoulders. He
endeavored to shade his humor so that Its
wit produced a smile, while In its pathos It
quivered a tear. His acting was not art: it
was nature, and it was his naturalness and
honesty of purpose in being what he seemed
that made his success. His life study was to
impress me with these qualities, and should
I tail, the blame is mine."
IxSrSSSSSt.
lstics. Somrinhis endeavors he has been f
treated with kindly consideration, and hna
won some praise of undoubted sincerity. He
Is giving, it is said, the finest scenio presen
tation of "Fritz" ever seen. In offering this
elaborate production of tho play Mr. Emmet
has simply carried out bis father's plans.
He has also surrounded himself with a
strong company, including Mason Mitchell,
Charles McDowell and Mies Helen Sedgwick.
There can .be nothing but kindly feeling
oward the son of J. K. Emmet, the son of
the inimitable Fritz, and if he succeeds in
even partly filling the big gap which the
death of that wonderfully actor caused in
the ranks of charming entertainers, nobody
will be readier to welcome him than tho
Pittsburgers who simply adored his father.
In the past it has often been a wonder to
theatrical managers that Pittsburg remained
so entirely true to Fritz Emmet. Nothing
dimmed or- diminished his popularity
up to the very last. These faithful friends
will rallv about the son on this occasion, any
how, out of love for the father, if for noth
ing else. The advantage of good actors
about him and handsome scenery, which the
elder Emmet dispised or neglected, may also
have their effect in building up the reputa
tion of the new star.
Hartley Campbell's "White Slave," which
has stirred more hearts than can be num
bered in Pittsburg, returns this week to the
Bijou Theater, and there can be no question
that with the scenic and dramatio features
of the play strongly expressed, as they
should bo at the hands of Mr. Kennedy
and his company, the old story of crowded
houses will be repeated. The play Is
so well known that no more need be said
than to give the chief members of the cast,
which includes Milt G. Barlow, the greatest
aged negro Impersonator on tho stage to
day, as Job, tho preacher; Frank Drew, who
has played the character of the lawyer,
SMch, over 1,000 times; Charles Webster, the
creator of the shiftless "nisrger," C7em;
Frank Kan-ington, as Clay Britton; J. Hay
Cossar, as Lacy: Ida Robinson, as fiance;
Mrs. Milt G. Barlow, ns Martha; Mabel Stone,
as Letly; Mildred Meredith, as Daphne, and
Mis. Elizabeth Van Deren.as Mrs. Lee.
The Bostonians are the welcome visitors
at the Duquesne Theater this week, and
they promise as usual to give us comio
opera in the way it ought to be played, but
seldom is. It is proper to repeat the pith of
what TnE Dispatch said a year ago of
"Robin Hood," viz., that It was the best
comic opera yet written in America, and
worthy of comparison, distant perhaps,
with Gilbert and Sullivan's works. It will
do to let it go at that, for the com
pany is mainly the same as last
year, although Caroline Hamilton, a fine
soprano singer from California Is one of the
acqnls'tions. Besides "Robin Hood" the
Bosnians will give "Dorothy," the reper
toire being arranged as follows: Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday matinee
and night "Robin nood,"and "Dorothy" at
the other performances. The company In
cludes Tom Karl, W. H. McDonald. Henry
Clay Barnebee.Eugene Cowes.George Froth
ingham, Peter Lang. Edwin W. Hoff. Jessie
Bartlett Davis, Caroline Hamilton, Lea Van
Dyke, Josephine Bartlett and many othera.
Three years ago "McKenna's Flirtation"
made a great many Pittsburgers laugh, and
it Is to be hoped it will not rail to do the
same this week at the Alvin Theater. It is
a merry farce comedy of the usual kind,
with musical and dancing specialties and no
end of broad humor. Billy Barry sustains
the best part of the piece himself, and in
place of Hugh Fay. who used to be his part
ner, there will be Joseph Brennan, who is
said to be a good comedian. A quartet with
good voices and a number of pretty girls are
also in tne company.
The Rose Hill English Folly Company at
Williams' Academy this week promises to
give an entertainment of which fun and
feminine beauty are the chief features. This
company has earned a high reputation else
where and its per ormance of the operatic
burlesque. "The Mountebank," is said to be
very clever.
A romantic charm of the "Monto Cristo"
order will be presented by Managers Harris,
Britton & Dean this week when "Fabio
Roman!" will be seen at each of the 12 per
formances. Mr. Walter Laurence has won
great praise from the dramatic critics of the
country for his masterly impersonation of
the role of Fabio, as it is recognized as being
a thoroughly artistic impersonation of a
difficult part. The others in the company
are capable people, and the drama one in
spiring intense interest from the prologue
to the fall of the curtain on the last act.
Manager A. F . Hartz, of the Cleveland
Opera House, writes to The Dispatch deny
ing that he has secured a lease of the Opera
House here, bnt admitting that he tried to
get that theater three years ago and failed.
Mr. Hartz also says he would be willing to
lease a theater here if he could. Manager
Wilt has also emphatically denied the rumor
allnded to, so that no change in themanage
mentofany of the local houses is to be ex
pected for the present.
The attractions this week may be summed
up as follows: J. K. Emmet in light mnsieal
comedy at the Grand Opera House: the
Bostonians at the Duquesne; William Barry
in farce comedy at the Alyin, and "The
White Slave," a lively melodrama, at the
Bijou. Hepbubh Johss.
The World's Mflsoum Theater.
Another strong list of attractions Is to he
presented to their patrons by the manage
ment of the World's Museum Theater the
coming week. Among the list of attrac
tions to be seen in the large, comfortable
curio hall may be noticed Miss Annie Bell, a
very handsome young miss only 19 years of
age, who stands 6 feet 2 inches in height and
weighs the enormous weight of 622 pounds.
Miss Bell traveled through Europe with
Barnum's show, of which she was the most
attractive feature, as her enormous size
does not in the least lessen her symmetry of
form and graceful carriage, and she is in
this particular pleasingly different from all
other socalled fat women. "Electrn," the
remarkable woman styled the "Living
Human Batterv," may also be 6een.
This wonderful lady has puzzled
scientists, electricians, and, In fact,
everyone with whom she has come in con
tact In that her entire system seems to be
charged heavily by electricity or human
magnetism, and to such a degree that when
she touches you a shock of electricity passes
through your body. We are assured that
there is no fraud practiced by this lady, nor
has she any electrical appliances concealed
on her person, and she Invites the closest
scrutiny by any person to, discover them.
Mons. A. L. Morroil and his wondonul
n ooden electric motor, whittled from wood
by a common Jack knlfe.is also to be seen.
In the theater Leonzo Brothers' New York

Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum.
"Big Mary," who enjoys the distinction of
being the heaviest woman in the world, and
of possessing great personal beauty, will be
at Harry Davis' Museum all this week. Big
Mary Is different from all the other fat
women on exhibition, and will well repay a
visit to the Fifth Avenue Museum. William
Wells, the man with the iron skull, has
proved such a good card with his extra
ordinary performance that he has been re
tained for another week. Afred Pilgrim, a
boy without arms or legs, who is very
"handy" notwithstanding, will be in the
curio hall, together with McDonald, an un
usually clever mnsician. In the theatoriutn
"Gibson and Edwards' Gilt-Edged Special
ists" will hold the boards. Among the per
formers fn the company are Healy and
Saunders, statue clog dancers; Ando Jiiti
kiki, Japanese Jugeler; the Wiltons, musical
artists: Rhys and Bl mpton, vocalists, from
Carncross' minstrels; Joe Hunt, the banjo
king, and Gibson and Edwards themselves,
Irish comedians. There are so many and
snch varied features of amusement at Harry
Davis' that one cannot wonder at its being
the favorite cheap-price resort of the two
cities.

Eathos, relieved by bright dialogno and
umorous situations. The scenic effects of
the play are an important feature, the scen

This will be the third season of the Emma
Juch Grand English Opera Company at the
Grand Opera House, commencing Monday,
November 16. Miss Juch has already won
for herself an enviable repntation among
the music-loving public, and this season has
surrounded herself with a large company
of good artists. The company consists of
125 members, carrying a full complement
of scenery and properties which places
them In a position to give their repertoire
of 23 grand operas with the proper mise-en
scene, and all the spectacular effects which
have won such a reputation for
the German and Italian operas, eiven
at tho Metropolitan Opera House,
New York, and have this season
added to their repertoire tho new, beautiful
and romantic opera of the young Italian
composer, Pietro Mascagni, "Cavalleria
Rusticana" (or Rustic Chivalry). The reper
toire is as follows: Monday, "Tannhauser;"
Tuesdav, "Faust:" Wednesdav, "Lohen
grin;" Thursday, "Romeo and Juliet;" Fri
dav, "Cavalleria Rusticana;" Saturday mati
nee, "II Trovatore:" Saturday evening,
"Tho Bohemian Girl."
DeWolp Hoppee, and his renowned band
of comedians and singers, presenting Good
win & Morse's bright and sparkling operatio
burietta, "Wang." will form the great at
traction at the Bijou Theater during the
week of November 10. The genial comedian
is at present playing in Philadelphia, and
the press of that city speak of the clever
company, the charming opera, and its
superb surroundings. Sir. Hopper's recep
tion on the opening night of his Philadel
phia engagement was a most onthusiastio
one. The presentation of "Wang" in this
city will be identically the same in every
respect with that given during its long and
brilliant run at the Broadway Theater, New
York City, and will include the same strong
case, tne same large ana poweriul chorus,
together with all of the original scenery,
costumes and stage effects. Hopper and his
associates will arrive in their own sp cial
train of five cars, on Sunday evening, No
vember 15, over the Pennsylvania Railroad,
direct from Philadelphia. The engagement
is for six nights and one matinee, and the in
dications are that it will be one of the
lar-jest and most brilliant In the annals of
Pittsburg comic opera.
Ouk week from to-morrow night Rudolph
Aronson's Opera Company, from the New
Casino, come to the Duquesne, and present
a double bill at every performance. So much
has been said and printed in connection
with Mascagni's opera, "Cavalleria Rusti
cana," that it is quite as well-known as some
of the standerd operas, but ihecomingper
formances by this company will serve to in
troduce it in the light of a new production.
They will present it in anelaborate manner,
with rich costumes and a handsome scene,
duplicates of those now being used in the
Casino production. It will he sung in En
glish, with Pauline L'Allemand as Santuzza,
Ferdinand Schultz as Turiddu, Henry Leoni
as Alflo, Villa Knox as Lota and Eva Daven
port as Lucia, and for rtie first time in this
city with the original score andorchestration.
There will be a grand opera chorus of 50
voices ana a very targe orcnestra. jrranz
Von Suppe's one-act ODera comique, "The
Jolly Students," recently produced with
great success by Mr. Aronson's company,
will be the first number on the programme
at every performance. It is entirely new to
this country, and is said to be very amusing
and replete with rollicking soenes of student
life at Heidelberg. In this opera there will
appear Jefferson De Angelts, Max Flgman,
Edgar Smith, Charles RenwioK, Louise

Over 80 teachers responded to the call
for the Normal Institute and reunion at the
Miller street building yesterday. Miss M. I.
Bnswinkle. of the Grant School, was Chair
man, and Miss Self, of the Howard, Secre
tary. Tho very important point was to be
considered whether the alumni should dis
pense with their annual reception and have
a banquet. But the majority favored a re
ception, which will be held on the evening
of December 3 at the High School.

230 now engaged in teaching. The number
who have taught and retired number near
100, and the nnmber married also reaches
the same numerals. The graduates are
scattered all over. Th-re are several who
went as missionaries to unina. The news
comes that more of the Norma) graduates

Superintendent Luckey" Latest Flan.
Following np the great success of the
last Teachers' Institute, Superintendent
Luokey has another projected that will
take in both sides of our continent. The
two great attractions will be Dr. Seaver,
Superintendent of the Boston schools, and
Dr. John Swett, of San Francisco, who is
noted so widely for his work on language
and educational methods in general. If
Prof. Luckey can prevail on the gentlemen
to come to Pittsburg they will talk on the
history of methods and give the history of
publio education at very wide varying
points that of the East and that of the
West.
The Board of Directors of the Franklin
school, of' which Mr. T. Doerflinger was

Getting the Ladles Interested.
The directors of the "Washington
schools, Seventeenth ward, have an excel
lent scheme in band to foster more interest
among the patrons of the three schools of
the ward, and recognizing the ability which
the female mind has to see what 'the mascu
line would overlook, have appointed
monthly committees of six ladies, two for
each building, who will visit the schools
and send in written reports to the board on
the condition of the schools. Mrs. Dr.
Marques, Mrs. Hays,Mrs. George Irwin, Mrs.
Dr. Libby, Mrs. McMoran and Mrs. Calhoun,
the committee for last month, were compli
mented on the report they submitted to the
board last week. They gave valuable sug
gestions on the ventilating of the Ouildings,
etc'. The personnel ot the ladies' committee
will change each month.
How a Teacher Saw MxBUnley.
There was one Pittsburg teacher who
was as much interested in the election of
McXinley as any Ohioan. Several years
ago, when Major McElnley was running for
Congress, this teacher was visiting in Can
ton. At church, every Sunday while she
was there, the sexton concluded his prayer
with "Oh, Lord have Major McElnley
elected." She was anxious to see amau who
had such an ardent admirer, so while walk
ing from church she said to her companion,
also a stranger in Canton: "Oh, I'd like so
much to see Major McElnley."
A lew paces ahead of them was a gentle
man who could hear her remark. He turned
around, and raising his hat, saldi "Madam,
I am Major McElnley," and It was the great
tariff advocate.
