Those not playing the game did not see
the full significance of the rivalry in ttie
three weddings this season at Shadyside
Presbyterian Church. Uhdoubiedly friends
in each case 'were tared to the utmost in an
endeavor not only to have a pretty wed
ding, but to have the prettiest of the three
weddings. Thev say that when the first
wedding came off the remaining two brides-to-be
were in an agony of suspense lest
some of their particular ideas shonld be an
ticipated, and neither were satisfied until
after repeated assurances had been given
that their plans might still remain intact
For noveltr Jliss JJees' weeding un
doubtedly carried off the honors; for beauty
but thtre I was nearly caught napping. I
think that Miss Pitcairn's wedding wa not
anv prettier than Miss Dilworth's, nor Jliss
Di'lnorth's than iliss Kees. It was an
other case of
Eliza, Elizabeth, Betsey and Bess
or, what applies to one applies to alL
Triumphs of the JIotlier-ln-Law.
This is a mother-in-law-to-be season and
that lady is having her innings. One now
not a month old that is to say, though she is
of dignified middle age, she became a mother-in-law
only a month ago put down the soft
pedal, so to speak, with so much force that
not a bit of muic was to be heard at her
daughter's wedding. Pianissimo, pianissi
more, pianissimost, the son-in law gave in
there's an end. Another mother-in-law-to-be
objected recently to farewell bachelor
parties: she said her daughter was making
no public regrets about the matter and she
didn't think her elected son-in-law had a
bit more reason for doing so. This mother-in-law-to-be
triumphed also, but I have
heard tell that son-in-law vows a tow that
when "to-be" becomes "I am," mother-in-law
will not be "in it,"
Interesting Wedding at Toungstown.
One of the most brilliant weddings that
have taken place this season in Youngs
town, and one that was of interest to a
great many people in three States, was that
of Mr. Gustavus A. "Weaver and Miss Rose
Marie Deibel. It took place Wednesday
iorenoon. Eev. Father Mears officiated,
celebrating high nuptial mass at St. Col
umba's Church. The bride is a lovely
young lady. After the ceremony a break
fast was served at the bride's residence. In
the evening a reception was held at "Wick
Hall. After the reception the young peo
ple left for an extended "Western tour.
People were present from Augusta, Ky.,
Cleveland, "Warren, Mansfield and Akron,
O., Pittsburg and Allegheny. The brides
maids were Mis Pauline "Weaver, Miss
Carrie Diebel and Miss Mamie Plans, while
the groom was attended by Harry "Weaver,
Mr. George Ehein and Mr. Edward Deibls.
Thanksgiving Eop at the Kenmawr.
The Thanksgiving hop at the Kenmawr
Hotel has been anticipated by four to five
days, taking place last night in the hotel par
lors. It was an unusually delightful affair
indeed these events always are delightful,
bringing the members of the big household
Rnd their friends together in a very pleas
ant fashion.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Passavant, of
Youngstown, O., are visiting Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Wilson, of Stanton avenue. East End.
Miss Helen DiehL the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. "W. J. Diehl, of Jlorth High
land avenue, East End, has issued invita
tions for an evening party for November 25.
.Amateur Theatricals in Pittsburg:-
Amateur theatricals are exceedingly
dull this season. The Sewicklcy Valley Club
his presented itself but once, and the Tues
day Night Club not at all. That this ls6t
important organization should be appar
ently so dilatory is easily explained by the
condition of the Pittsburg Club Theater,
which will not be ready for use until the
middle or last of December. That un
christened and unnamed club of young peo
ple somebody facetiouslv calls it "The
Little Brother of the Tuesday Night Club,"
probably because the older fashionable club
looks upon it as similar to a troublesome
younger brother which gave "The Kivals"
so capitally at Mrs. Haworth's last winter,
has died in the early bloom of its youth.
Somehow the climate here seems to agree as
little with dramatic organizations as with
delicate throats. One that has survived
our insidious weather, however, is the
organization is that it? connected with the
"Western University of Pennsylvania.
These boys made a splendid debut. I have
forgotten in what, but I remember there
was a lot of brightness and applause and
never a dull minute for several hours one
evening last winter in the Pittsburg Club
Theater. Remembering thi, they will be
welcomed with pleasure again when they
appear in January at the theater.
They have selected two plays, "Early
Vows" and "Chums," the first a two-act
comedy and the second a farce in one act,
and expect to produce them the first week
of the new year. The cast for "Early
Vows" is:
Honorable James Curtice
Mr. E. B. Goehrlng
Captain Wlnthrop Mr. .. W. Davis
Ned Wilder. Mr. D. S. Liggett
Sampson Mr. W. Kiddle
Miriam Miss Miller
usan.... ........................ .....Miss Scott
The cast for "Chums" is:
Mr. Breed (a Vermont squirc).Mr. W. Riddle
Harrv Breed, A B., Harv. (his son)
Mr. H. M. King
Tom Bnrnh&m (leading lady l'ieta The
ater) Mr. M. jiucD. DoiTington
Flora Strong (Mrs. Breed's niece)
Mr. a W. Davis
Mrs. Breed .Mr. J. s. Giiggs
The casts arc both strongly filled, as we
know the university boys and two or three
of the players bear already a good histrionio
reputation. The rehearsals are progressing
favorable at-Mrs. John "Walker's House in
Western avenue. Regarding the music the
Glee Club, of the University, will assist
and probably an orchestra of musicians will
be gathered up among the boys also.
What the Boys Will Put On.
"Chums" is a light farce in one act It
was played several yearsagoby the Harvard
bovs and is of a nature to interest college
boys. Harry Breed comes home from college. J
1J. ! "no hptter unr nn wnrsp." than other"!
college boys. He studies sometimes and
amuses himself always. Like orthodox
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Breed believe in their
boy as the brightest, finest, most studious
young man in the world. They want him
to marrv an unknown cousin. Not vio
lently taken with the idea of giving his
heart to a possible odious bit of lemininity,
Harry, meeting his chum, tells his trouble,
and his chum dresses up as this girl cousin.
They have not time to hatch up tf orv ex
cepting in the presence of the attmshed
old couple, when things reach a ludicrous
height. The real cousin arrives after
ward, and turns out to" be the chum's
sweetheart. Harry wavers in loyalty to his
chum, and wishes at once to prove himself a
most filial son. Things are straightened
out. Flora accepts the chum and Harry re
mains single and heart-whole at home with
his paren'.
The plot of "Early Vows" is a true com
edy of errors, with a deal of crisp dialogue
and laughable situations. An early love, a

return, unrecognized lover and a stranger
mistaken for a lover. Everything turns out
all right, and true lover after traveling on
stormy ways, comes out triumphant in pas
tures green.

The above are the theatrical attractions
for this week.
The most likeable thing about De"Wolf
Hopper, and he is a hearty, amiable big boy,
both on tho stago and off, is the way he
works. He is a glutton as to labor. Just
think of "Wang" withont him, and you will
realize what his industry amounts to.
His plans at present are to play"Wnn2"
till November of next year, when he will re
turn to New York and begin an engagement
of ten months at the Broadway Theater in a
new burletta, to use the word coined for
"Wans," by the same authors, Cheever
Good win and Morse. He will play "Wang"
again in this city next March at the Alvln
Theater.
Mr. Hopper's company is not so strong
as it was last year, and for various reasons it
was not seen at its best last week. Miss St.
Henry, the principal singer in the cast, was
sucli a sick woman that sheleft the company
yesterday to seek medical treatment in New
York. Samuel Reed Is not a SeabrooVe by a
long shot, and to make matters worse he lias
a most painful habit of singing in any key
almost but the one which the orchestra
selects. Miss Marion Singer is no a
comedienne, and unfortunately the widow
Frimousse is a comedy role. There Is still a
good deal of cuteness and girlish charm
about little Delia Fox, but she has not as
much vivacity as she had last year, and per
haps for lack of opportunity acts vry little.
The personal behavior of actors on the
stage is, I take it, a legitimate subject for
criticism, and, while it is nnpleasant to say
so, It must bo said that the behavior and
condition of more than one member of Mr.
Hopper's company, on Wednesday night at
least, were not creditable to them or respect
ful to the audience. What actors do off" the
stage is wholly their own concern, so long
as they do not allow thelrconduct in private
to unfit them for their theatrical duties.
There is no need to say any more than this
at this time, but it may become necessary to
enter into particulars if the offense is re
peated. When the Bostonians were here a
number of people asked me to sug
gest to a certain clever and beauti
lul actress that the majority ot
those who go to a theater do not relish
or admire open flirtation between actors
and members of the audience, not even
when the latter occupy private boxes or the
best seats In the pai queC Nobody dislikes
more than the writer to criticise the con
duct of women on the stage, but in jusiico
to those who do behave properly, as well as
to tho public who pay for their seats,
offenses against propriety, not to say
decency, must be condemned in such way
and in such n place ns may serve to abate tho
nuisance, for a nuisance it is. Such offenses
aro rare; tho great majority of actors are as
weu-oenavea as, anaottenDettermannerea,
than tho people they entertain, and I know
that tho best actors are the most anxious to
see offenders against decorum punished.
As such things go, "Wang" seems to me
about ns good as It can be. The authors
are careful not to call it a comic opera, and
while operatic burletta Is rpther vague It
comes near hitting off "Wang." " J. Cheever
Goodwin's book Is better than the music,
and, of course, It is a great deal more im
portant. Some of the lyrics are clever,
.notably "The Ballade of Inconstancy."
which Delia Fox sings, and the "Elephant"
ditty, which De Wolf Hopper's strong voice
and clever enunciation makes very effective.
Mr. Hopper was disappointed that the lines
of this song did not impress his auditors"
more, and it is singular that the topical
dogzerel of "The Man in the Moon" song and
other inferior stuff won more ap
plause than Mr. Goodwin's humorous fable
of the man who had an elephant on his
hands. One rule I find holds good about
most comio songs, and especially when they
are wltrv rather than broadly humorous.
and that is that it must be snug slowly if the
audience is to appreciate it. Patter songs
nre effective, of course, by reason of the
speed at which they are taken as much as,
if not more than, for anything else they con
tain, but a topical song or a ballad, such as
Mr. Gilbert can writoto perfection, in which
topsy-turvey philosophy or witty antithesis
is to raise a laugh, should be sung at a pace
'that permits perfect enunciation; not a
word should be lost or blurred. Com
posers and librettists do not have as
great a regard for this rule as they
should, and lots of witty songs are ruined
by being set to music in quick time. It
seems to me that Hopper's "elephant" song
would be far more effective ifsungmnch
slower, and indeed to an air which would
assist tbo words to a greater extent than
Mr. Morse's music does.
The chief merits of "Wang" is its whole
some comicality. It is singularly free from
vnlgar or suggestive taint in plot, lines and
business. Mr. Hopper tits the title role very
well, and his own peculiar style of comedy
Is expressed fully in it, and with more re
pose than usual. The other day Mr. Hopper
said to me: "Nothing wearies me more
than to be told I am degrading my talents
such as they are by playing such a part as
Wang. If affording wholesome amusement
debase anybody I don't know who it is. I
remember a few years ago I stage-managed
a benefit for the Actors' Fund in Chicap.
and it was part of my duty to convey the
thanks of the American actors to the great
Salvlnl, who had given us the finest scene
from 'The Gladiator.' I was so wrought up
by his wonderful acting that my emotion
got the best of me when I tried to thank him
and made my broken Italian absolutely un
intelligible. Salvlnl understood me, how
ever, and patting me on the shoulder with a
fatherly air, he said in English: 'My boy,
your face is more flattering than your
words could be,' which is true, for tears ran
down my cheeks. After that I felt
awfully ashamed of my work as a
comic opera comedian for weeks. But I
was cured of that by something that oc
curred In Boston shortly after. A friend of
mine came up to me in the Adams House
one day and shaking me warmly by the
hand said: 'Willie Hopper.you've done some
thing for ray mother lor which I shall al
ways be grateful to you," aid then he went
on to explain .that his mother, who had been
almost crazed with grief, had been induced
Dy a stratagem he took her out to drive and
literally carried her into the theater to go
to see the comic opera in which I was
playing. I was able to make her laugh, and
anyone who knows what a dangerous and
dreadful malady the lethargy induced by
excessive grief is, can realize her son's
Joy. It encouraged me, and I'm free to say
that I'm proud of my work, and ask for
nothing better than to amuse the public in
an honest, innocent way so long as I live."
And I think Mr. Hopper's view is correct.
As renferked in The Dispatch last
Tuesday, "Jane," which amused large audi
ences all week at the Alvin, would be better
without the coarseness which characterizes
several small jests. The rest of the play
shows how easily fun can be had Innocently,
and the fact that a broad joke makes peo
ple laugh does not show that they fully ap
prove of it, "Jane" Is tho best play of its
kind we have bad for a long time; it is a
great deal funnier than "My Aunt Jack,"
"All the Comfort of Home" and other re
cent plays of this kind. It is not so much
the matter that is in the story of "Jane" as
the brisk telling or it that makes it strong.
There Is never a moment's pause in the
action, or in the fun lor that matter. The
company Is pretty nearly perfect for such
work. Paul Arthur, M. C, Daly and everyone
jn fact Is happily placed though It is rather
hard lines on Miss Elaine Eilson to wa-te her
good looks and such ability to act as she
showed in the difficult task of uniting the
sections or Dixey's "Seven Ages" a year or
two ago, on such a fashion-plate character as
that assigned to her. Miss Johnstone Ben
nett's work could hardly be Improved upon;
sbe is Jane the housemaid all the time, even
when she apes the fine lady most.
By the way, the hint given by The Dis
tatoh that better pictures or none at all
should hang upon the walls of Mr. S7iacJcH
ton's room was taken by Manager Davis, and
the artistic taste of a dandified gentleman of
leisure was more properly expressed.
Eobert A. Campbell, a son of the late
Baftley Campbell, writes mo that "Bulls
and Bears," a comedy dealing with the com
icalities of stock speculation, will be pro
duced next season. It Is from the pen of
the late Bartley Campbell, and has never
been played but In Chicago and "Frisco"
several years ago, when W. H. Crane, James
O'Neill, E. J. Buckey and Kate Salsbury ap
peared in tho cast.
Tor the information of a correspondent
who has been betting about it I may state
that the late J. K. Emmet was last seen in
Pittsburg at the Bijou Theater, where he
played "Fritz in a Madhouse." To another
correspondent: Mantcll played "Monbars"
at the Bijou the first season he starred here.
This week's Dramatic Mirror quotes a re
mark made in this column to the effect that
"betore a year is out, anyhow, the decay of
the farce-comedy's popularity will have set
in," and gives it the caption: "A Tear Be
hind the Times." I am afraid that the
Mirror has permitted its wish to see
faice-comedy abolished to be more than
father to this thought. At all events
in Pittsburg, of which alone I pretend to
speak, the popularity of farce comedy ns an
entertainment has not shown any very
marked abatement. Nor does tho news
from the outside indicate that my prophecy
was too conservative; the public may be
gottinsr tired of tarco comedy, but the box
office receipts do not show it. In New York
the Mirror has doubtless observed that the
cmzefor farce comedy is still robust. The
failure and retirement of several farce com
edies, and the orobabilitv that the same fate
awaits many more, do not prove anything
more than that as individual productions
they were found wanting. The oldtarco
comedies that have been on the road from
two to six or even more years are, I Ieai n on
good authority, earning moie money this
season than ever. All the same I adhere to
the belief that the public does not care so
much for horse play and variety business in
the guise of a play as it did, and I look for
the steady decline of this form of entertain
ment this season and next.
As was predicted in The Dispatch,
"Jane," by its singularity as tho only drama
at the first-class theaters, and "Wang," by
its broad appeal to all sorts of people, did
the best business last week, and very large
the receipts must have been, for thousand
dollar houses were the rule at both
theaters.
The Casino Company will abandon "Caval-
leria Rusticana" and "The Jolly Students"
after this week, nnd a now musical comedy,
"Uncle Celestlne," will be put on in St. Louis.
Miss Annie Myers, who has the chief
soprano role in the new piece, has been
rehearsing with the company- all the
week, and she tells me that it Is
a very bright and tuneful oddity, after the
fashion of "Miss Helzett," in which William
Lester Cirter and others have made a suc
cess In New York. It Is not likely that we
shall see "Uncle Celestlne" here this season,
and more's the pity. Among the comic
opera soubrettes, Annie Myers undoubtedly
stanas in tne iront rnnK, ior Desiaes ner
vivacious comedy powers she has a very
good soprano voice, of which she has taken
good care during the seven or eight years
since she joined the chorus and began her
career. -
What hard work and good sense amount
to In the achievement of success In comic
opera, as In most things, is not sufficiently
appreciated by the pretty, talented girls who
enter this department of theatrical work.
A good half of the aspirants fail or fade
untimely because thefr pretty heads cannot
stand the first draught of popularity.
There were a good many heavy hearts In
the Casino chorus that sang at the Duquesne
last week. Twenty of the chorus girls and
men were notified that their services would
not be required after this week.owlng to the
change from opera comique to musical
comedy, in which a chorus is not needed.
Those readers who are anxious to hear
how tho Juch Opera Company acquitted
Itself will find what they want in the mu
sical department of The Dispatch to-day.
The saddest event in the theatrical world
this year was the death of Mr. Florence. It
is seldom Indeed that an actor gets such a
grip npon the hearts of the people ns Mr.
Florence did. Ho is mourned for as much
as a man as a great actor. It did notrcquire
personal acquaintance to know the man;
thousands who saw him only on the stage
by some subtle sympathy learned to love
him. To those whd wero lucky enough to
win his friendship he revealed a grand na
ture. His heart was as big as his brain, and
his hand was never tired of giving, though
his charities were stealthy.
Sincerity was the strongest point of his
acting; and the noblest character he played,
Captain Cuttle, was most like himself. His
versatility, however, was as marked as any
other faculty, and strange as it may seem to
most of ns who have known him in the last
ten or twenty years, it was demonstrated in
his career that he could cieato serious char
acter with as great Intensity and Insight as
he could such delicious Doings of the comedy
world as BardsweU Stoat In the "Mighty Dol
lar." If a fund is to be raised for the erec
tion of a monument to him I believe there
are many Plttsburgers who would liko to
contribute.
For the present Louts James has taken
MiFlorence's placo with Mr. Jefferson, but
the choice seems a strange one.

THE WEEK AT THE THEATEK3.
The Attractions Itange From Farce to Serl
ious Drama, but Chiefly for Laughter.
The Alvin Theater presents for its Thanks
giving attraction Clara Morris, surrounded
by an excellent company, and presenting
for the first time in this city Sardou's
"Odette." This play will be given every
evening and at the Thanksgiving matinee
Thursday. On Saturday afternoon the only
performance of "Camille" will be given. It
is said that when Bernhardt first saw Clara
Morris act she exclaimed: "This woman
does not act she suffers." The French
tragedienne in that one exclamation
summed up the whole career of this dis
tinguished actress. With Miss Morris to
act is not to seem but to be; not to feign but
to feel. She seeks to arouse no feelings, no
emotions that she does not herself feel.
This Is Miss Morris' explanation of her un
doubted power. She is said to be in far bet
ter health than usual, and will play at every
performance, Including the Thanksgiving
matinee, at which "Odette," will be given,
and in "Camille" on Saturday afternoon.
One always thinks of Miss Fanny Rice as
a comic opera prima donna Plttsburgers
know her as jVadpy, JVdnon and half a
dozen other pretty and sweet voiced hero
ines and it is something of "A Jolly Sur
prise" in itself to have her present herself
in a musical comedy of that name at the
Grand Opera House this week. "A Jolly
Surpriso" Is a musical comedy by Arthur
Wallack, and It has been regarded In the
East as an improvement upon the general
run of comedy with musical attachments.
Miss Rice is said to be supported by a capa
ble company, and the piece will be nicely
staged. There will beamatineeon Thanks
giving Day besides tho regular matinees, wi
Frank Daniels' ability to make people
laugh in his "Little Puck" has been proved
here before, and there Is not much need to
explain who be Is or what the rollicking skit
he will play In at the Duquesne Theater
Is like. Miss Bessie Sanson and some other
clever people to the number of 25 support
him. There willie a Thanksgiving Day
matinee instead of the usual Wednesday
one.
Charles A Gardner will present his new
play "Captain Karl," a romance of the Saxo
ny vineyards, at the BIJon Theater this
week. It is said to be a pleasant picture of
the wine-grower's life in Saxony, and will
afford Mr. Gardner a chance to sing
his songs, several of which are new.
A genuine Tyrolean quartette will
assist htm, and his company Is said
to have been greatly strengthened since last
seen here. The scenic effects are alsosaid to
be great, and the reproduction of Saxon cus
toms, such as the vineyard procession of
maidens singing hymns to Bacchus, is an
other feature. There will be an extra mati
nee on Thanksgiving Day.
To-morrow alternoon the Wilbur Opera
Company commences a week's engagemen t
at Hnrris' Theater, The repertoire has been
arranged as folio ws: Monday, "Falka;" Tues
day, "Falka;" Wednesday, "Bobeinlan Girl;"
Thursday matinee, "Erminie:" Thursday
night, "Mascotte;" Friday, "Fancnette;" Sat-
uraay, "fancnette." nusio jurwin, . u.
Koberly, H. H. Tren-Denick, P. W. Nares and
other favorites in Pittsburg will be seen at
each performance.
Williams & Orr's Meteors will shine at
Williams' Academy this week. Dot D'Al
corn managing the wonderful electric or
gan, Watson and Hutohlngs, John Drew,
Gallagher and West, and mannother clever
peoplo are In the company. Thematinees
will be on Tuesday, Thanksgiving Day, Fri
day and Saturday.
At the Museum-Theaters.
The agonizing question, "Where is Ella
Ewlng?" will be answered this week. She
will be at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenue Mu
seuni; and she will be there 8 feet 3 Inches
tall, and stlU growing. She lithe tallest
human being in existence, on the authority
of students of gigantic humanity, and tho
fact of her being a woman makes her seem
greater than she Is. She boldsa $500 bill in her
hand, and if anyone can stand on the ground
and reach that bill. It is his. Several of the
professional "giants',' of museums have
tried, but Ella Ewing still has the bill. She
is a roost interesting problem in natural his
tory. Besides the giantess, there will be the
'knife and tomahawk throwers, John and
Katie Arcaris. This act is actually hair
raising as well as pleasing. Other features
of the curio hall will be Feejee Jim and
Annie, "Musical Mac," and others, while In
the theatorium Cogan Brothers and Wilson's
Merry-Makers will preside. Val Vino, the
American Jap, who is a clever juggler, and
the great Griffin, England's favorite song
and dance artist, are included among the
merry-makers. Harry Davis has long been
recognized as the most popular manager
In the city, and he has made his Fifth Ave
nue Museum as popular as himself. There
are always large crowds there, and the In
dications are that this week will be the
greatest he has ever known. On Thanks
giving Day the doors will be open at 10 a. m.
The menaserie, which includes all the
Schenley Park zoo except the elephant. Is
au attractive department of the Fifth Ave
nue Museum.
at the World's Museum-Theater the ex
traordinary feature will be Dr. James
Beatty, who claims he will select any living
subject nnd in full view of a committee
from the audience cut him up alive, carvo
his limbs and head, all withont the least
harm or discomfort to the subject. This, of
course, is an inzenious illusion. Other feat
ures will be Fatima, a wonderful snake
charmer; Prof. Matthews' trained goats and
other strange and wondrous things. In the
theater the Wild Oats Farce Comedy
Specialty Company will give a novel and
amusing performance.
Stage Whispers.
Bessie Sassox Is still with Daniels, in
"Little Puck," and she is a very clever
comedienne.
Lawlor and Thorstos, the great specialy
team, is in Fai.ny Rice's company, and will
be seen In "A Jolly Surprise" this week.
Miss Marie Waiswrioht's beautiful pro
duction or "Amy Kobsart" at the Grand
Opera House Is promised for next week.
F. W. Hodoes, the able advertising agent
of Harry Davis' Museum, will go in advance
of Williams and Orr's Company this week.
"Shehadoah" will shortly be seen here.
It is considered the best play of its kind
produced in years, and Bronson Howard, Its
author, may well be proud of It.
The Clipper Quartet, which has a reputa
tion of being the best in the line, has just
been added to the Frank Daniels forces,
making a total of 26 people In the company.
W. H. Crake and "The Senator" follows
Daniels at the Duquesne. The distinguished
comedian comes this season fresh from now
triumphs, and has with him a good com
pany. ,
Miss Fpolxiott Paget, who made such a
hit here last season in "Aunt Jack," will
follow Marie Walnwright at the Grand
Opera House In Augustln Daly's "The Last
Word."
DeWolit Hotter and several gentlemen
went to Economy on Friday. The vow of
celibacy and the myriads of chickens on the
streets were the two features of the commu
nity that impressed the comedian most.
Tint reports from "Sinbad" indicate that
Manager Henderson's great spectacular
show Is doing an Immense business every
where. It opens In Chicago to-morrow
night for another run.
Following Clara Morris at the Alvin come
Evans and Hoey in their most laughable
comedy, "A Parlor Match." The ropularlty
of this piece is attested by the fact that this
play still attracts crowded houses wherever
given.
"Eight Bells," tne new pantomime
comedy, Is 6ald to possess more novelty
than any creation of a like character that
has been seen on the stage for years. The
ship scene of the second act is said to be
full of striking originality.
That clever romantic actor, Robert Man i
leu, is suuu w JJiajr mi tsugnouieufc in .irifcia-
burg, presenting for the first time "The
Louisianlan." He will also be seen In "The
Corslcan Brothers" and "Monbars." Mr.
Mantell is touring the country under his
own manngement, and Is said to be meeting
with great success. He will follow Charles
A. Gardner.
The fire-proof asbestos curtain was put in
use at the Alvln Theater this week. In the
center of it is a picture of the Point about
100 years ago, the familiar vie w of a wooded
Sromontory running out between the
onongahela and the Allegheny. It is more
useful han beautiful, but let us hope it will
never have to be used to imprison fire.
Seats are selling so rapidly at Hamilton's
musio store for the three concerts of the
Austrian Juvenile Band on Tuesday and
Wednesday that three large audiences are
assured. The novelty of the performance is
attractive in itsel f, but when to that we have
the word of all the Boston and Philadelphia
critics that the boys do not ask any allow
ance on account of their age, but play as
well as GUmore's Band, it Is no wonder
Plttsburgers are anxious to hear them. The
first concert will De given on Tuesday night,
followed by a mxtlnee and evening per
formances on Wednesday. To the matinee
school children will be admitted at 10 cents
npiece, the principals of the various schools
having been asked to give their pupils a
half-holiday on that day. The educational
influence of music is so well understood
nowadays that there is little donbt of the
principals agreeing to let their little people
EuunLnsku&j. .miaa inuiiu uiuver, a lavor
ite soprano ot New York, is with tbo band.
"Billy" Crane's role of the Senator is
taken from life. It is a carefully drawn
character sketch, and Senator Hannibal
Rivers is really none other than Senator
Plumb, of Kansas, even to the chin whiskers
worn by the Westerner.
Plumb and Crane are good friends, but a
year ago they had nevermet, the comedian's
"makeup" for his impersonation having
been taken from photographs and the pe
culiarities from conversations with personal
friends of the Kansas man. Last winter
Crane was playing in Washington and the
two met.
"Senator," said Crane ono evening after
the performance' "I'm going up to the Cap
itol to-morrow, and I want you to make a
speech for my special benefit. Will you do
It?"
"I'll try," said Plumb. "If anythlne comes
np that gives me a good text, I'll sail In."
As good luck would have it, the text ap
peared in Mr. Hoar's proposition to change
the title of some of our diplomatic repre
sentatives from Minister to Ambassador.
If Plumb had been given the choice of a
subject, for the purpose of showing off his
peculiar or oratorical abilities as an object
lesson to his friend Crane, he couldn't have
picked out a better one. How the Senator
did pitch into poor Mr. Hoar, and make the
Senate and everybody else believe that the
innocent old zentleman was proposing noth
ing short of treason to American liberty.
How ho did ridicule the anglomanlacs of tho
effete East, and the snobs of the diplomatic
service.
Actor Crane laughed until his sides ached
to see Plumb jerk out his short, crisp sen
tences in his characteristic halting way, as
if he were stopping every few words to see
bow vicious -and ugly he could make the
next ones.
As usual, Plumb emphasized every other
sentence by reaching under his waistcoat,
and with the thumb of his left hand
straightening out an imaginary twist in his
suspenders.
Crane "caught on," to use a slang expres
sion, and tried the trick at that evening's
performance.
Now his imitation and "make-up" of
Plumb lsperleet.

A PERMANENT INSTITUTION
IS THE CATARRH AND DYSPEPSIA IN
STrrUTE, 333 PENN AVENUE.
Bates and Prices Always Reasonable 3Iore
Permanent Cures During the Fait Tear
Than All Other Catarrh Doctors Com
bined Skill and Superior Methods of
Treatment Bring Lasting Results In
disputableJETldcnco From Signed Testi
monials. It is over three years since the Catarrh
and Dyspepsia Institute. 323 Penn avenue,
was established. Its physicians, who are
graduates, are permanently located at this
Institution, and have had yeara of experi
ence in treating the diseases of their
specialty. They have unquestionably made
more permanent cures of catarrh in Pitts
burg during the past year than nil other
catarrh doctors combined. It is sometimes
an easy matter with a few local treatments
or snuff medicines to give roller for a short
time, but such treatments never
have permanently cured, catarrah,
and never will. To effect a per
manent cure one that is lasting
requires not only skill on the part of the
physician, and superior methods of treat
ment, but years of practical experience.
Such is the reputation of the physicians of
the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute for
making permanent cures that their prac
tice has extended into almost every State
in the Union.
Their skillful methods of treatment, fidel
ity to their work, frank; open opinions ex
pressed to their patients, and unequaled
success in making cures, has been testified
to In the Pittsburg papers by hundreds of
well-known citizens. Their rates and
prices for treatment are always reasonable
and that all can afford.

Mr. Fred Heer, 303 Louden street, East
End, a stone cutter by occupation, had ca
tarrh since childhood, and had been getting
worse for the past 15 years. At the time he
applied to the Institute for treatment he
had been unable to work for some time, and
for six weeks he was confined to bed with
bronchitis and chills and rheumatism. The
tough phlegm in his throat was difficult to
raise his throat sore and dry with a raw
feeling. He could not swallow without pain.
He had ringing sounds ln'hls ears, no appe
tite, coated tongue, dry, feverfcib. skin,
cough, pulse 110 and irregular. He
could get no refreshing sleep. He had pains
across the small of his back, torpid liver
and very sallow complexion. The following
is his signed testimonial further describing
his case:
"I took treatment from different doctors,
but found no one who could permanently
cure me. I grew worse, and at times was
unable to work, and became very weak. My
neighbors said that this (all when the leaves
go I would die. I took three months' treat

I feel as well as .ever in my life and am
