It has been, to say the least, a rather stale and unprofitable weelc at the theaters. When you have said that Clara Morris re tains her skill as an actress, and in spite of a desperately bad play appeals strongly to the sympathetic side of her audience, that Fanny Rice is still a charming soubrette out of place in such a weak variety show as "A Jolly Surprise," with the accent off the Jolly that Frank Daniels is as amusing as ever, though he needs a new play and a stronger company, that Charles Gardner is no more worth talking about as an actor than ho ever io, uiucum upon me cniet tneatncai features of the week Just ended is ex hausted. Thanksgiving Day was more of a godsend to the managers than ever: wlthont the crowded houses of Thursday the profits of the week in most instances would be rep resented by a round and cheerless 0. The glamoifr that surrounds the name of Sardouis in a fair way to be dissipated in, the light of such revelations as "Odette." There is undoubtedly too much store sot by the name of Sardou; he has written good plays, but ho has been very lucky to secure the services of such a genius ns Sara Bern hardt to create tho leading characters in most of them; and he has written bad plays, of which "Cleopatra," which Fanny Daven port did here last year, is one example, and "Odette" is another. The former was not notably offensive in a moral sense, while "Odette," with its picture or very low life, and its patient attempt to procure sympa thy for a bad woman, if it be less immoral than stupid, Is still immoral enough to do harm. The trouble about presenting plays here that deal with grossly immoral char acters, in more than doubtful circumstances, is that American audiences are made up quite differently from those in French theaters. In Paris the young unmarried girl never goes to the theater unless it be with her mother or some other cliaperone of her own sex. They look at these things differently in France, of course, and whether it Is desirable that young women should see the average French drama is a question that I do not intend to discuss now. But there are clearly good leasuns why a young American girl, who as often as not goes to the theater with a young man, should not be exposed to the impression which such a play as "Odette" inevitably must make upon her. As a writer in ah Eastern Journal pointed out tho other diy, aside from higher moral considerations, it is extremely embarrassing for young people of opposite sexes to be thus confronted with scenes that they cannot with propri ety discuss. Foitunately tho chilly re ception plays of this sort usually get in America makes their recurrence infrequent. I believe that the popular taste is becoming better all the time, and as a con sequence managers, who really try their oest to give tne people what they want, are fostering the pure diama to an extent they never did before. One of the healthiest s'gns of the theatrical times is the growth of n clean, wholesome and at the same time entertaining native drama, of which Mr. Bronson Howard's plays, that exquisite Idyl qf southern lllewhloh Pittsburg has not vet seen, Augustus Thomas' "Alabama," Martha juorton's worKs, ana not a few other plays might be cited as examples. The less we borrow from the old world, when we have men and women who can give as good plays, the better for the American stage. A man is pretty sure to be entertained satisfactorily at any theater he may visit in Pittsburg this week. "Amy Robsart," a dramatization of Scott's "Kenilwortb," is to be produced with unexampled scenic splen dor at tho Grand Opera House, and Marie Walnwrigbt, an actress of many graces and refined art, will play the heroine, while her company is evidently a good one. Robert Mantell, an actor of a striking ability and romantic force, will appear in that weird play, "Tho Corsican Brothers," at the Bijou, where also later In the week he will pro duce "The Lonisianian," a new play. At the Duquesne Theater William H. Crane, whose position as a comedian is among the first in the country, will repeat "The Sena tor," an amusing American comedy In which there is neither guile nor buffoonery. "A Parlor Match," perhaps the best farce com edy extant and certainly a very popular one, with Evans and Hoev in their old parts, will be seen at tne Alvln Theater. Williams' Academy will have a good variety show, and Augustin Nenville in "The Boy Tramp" at Harris' Theater will supply a want, I sup pose. Mr. Robert Mantell will begin a week's engagementat the Bijou Theater to-morrow, Monday evening, when he will appear in his great success of last season, Alexander Dumas' powerful heroic drama, "The Corsi can Brothers." As Ixmis and t'abten del PrancM, the mystically united brothers, Mr. Mantell has been praised in The Dispatch. This production of Dumas' celebrated ro "mance will be similar in every respect to that given by Mr. Mantell at the Fourteenth Street Theater, New York City, and all the handsome scenery and mechanical effects prepared for that successful revival will be emp loyed In this presentation, thus assur ing a perfect performance. There are 25 acting parts in this play, and over 50 people are employed in the presentation. "The Corsican Brothers" will be repeated Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday even ings; also at the Saturday matinee. Wednes day matin ea and Thursday evening the success of five sea-ons, D'En nery's grand romantics drama, "Mon-bai-s." On Fliday evening Mr. Mantell will present lor the first time in this city his two new plays, "The Lonisianian," romantic drama in five nets, and the one-act comedy drama, "A Lesson m Acting." The follow? ing isthe story of "The Lonisianian": Loati Saini-Armand, "The Lonisianian." is in love with a very sweet girl, Jluth Claiborne, bdt a bold, bad woman in the person of the Countess Marguerite Dellua puts in an appear ance nt an early stage of the game, and makes things so very lively for Lou Saint Armand that he leaves his native country to go and fight under the Imperial eagles of Napoleon in France. He wins honor and re nown, but the Countess, whose love he has already spurned, follows him and makes it still more lively tor him In France than she did in America. She goes too far, however, and when she finds she has been caught In a trap of her own making, she commits suicide in tho apartments of the man she aimed to ruin. All things, however, came out right In the end, and Louis Saint-Armana got back to America Just in the nick of time,asJtrfA father, after hearing some very disoaraging stories about Louis, and believing tbenitrue, determined to break off the relations be tween his daughter and Saini-Armand. But the clouds of distrust rolled by and the lovers were reunited. Marie "Wainwright, as a beautiful woman and an acti ess of singular charm, has many admirers here and she will be seen at the Grand Opera House this week in a worthy revival of "Amy Robsart." This drama is founded upon Sir Walter Scott's "Kenil wortb," and Is at least a deeply interesting romance to which the Elizabethian age in W " Pi" ! th0 br"test color. Adelaide Nellson was the creator of Amu Hbbsart, and it is chiefly her version that Miss Wainwright has used.-In New York the play had a long and prosperous run at Palmer's Theater, and the scenery and accessories that contributed to the success there will be used, it is promised here. The scenery painted by Hicham Marston and J. H. Young is, I have neard on really good authority, as beautiful as any ever set upon the stage. Miss Wainwrlght's company is undoubtedly a good one, tor it contains Henrv Miller, who has not been seed in romantic drama before, although in j "Shenandoah" and other modern pieces he has made a good impression, Barton HHi, , the Excellent actor last seen here as MalvoUo, and clever Blanche Walsh, who has been piomoted to the regal dignity of Queen Bess. The rest of tho company look nil nglrt. Such special features as Marie V, ain wright's dresses are also spoken of highly. Altogether, a genuine interest in the pro duction is provoked by the programme. "When "The Senator" was played here last season by Mr. Crane and an excellent company Plttsburgers liked it very much. Now it returns to tho Duquesne Theater, and apparently it should command greater attention than it did last year. It is clean, bright and human little comedy, in which a very pleasant type of United States Senator is the central figure. There is a romantic love storv woven through the fun and the moral of the play is excellent 'William II. Crane as Senator Rivers is delicious I said so last year and I don't suppose he has altered unless for the better. The company contains most or last year's cast, excepting the winsome little package of oiiginality, Miss Stuart, and one or two others less important. They say that Miss Gladys Wallis, who takes Miss Stuait's place, is very pretty and charming, and tho papers everywhere havo been giv ing "The Senator" monotonously laudatory notices. ?ome talk of a new play which Mr. Crane Is to try shortly readied mv ears the other day. Why shouldn't Fittsburgers have a look at it if it is ready, Mr. CraneT some thing in the way ora dress rehearsal would be entertaining to ns and profitable to you. There must be something at the bottom of "A Parlor Match's" long lease of life and prosperity, and I should not wonder if It were nothing less than merit. The play is not a wonderful work of art, but it tells a harmless funny story In a very brisk way, and allows lots of incidents to be lugged into it for the mere sake of laughter. It is unqpestionably the best fitted of the farco comedies to have a long life, and, with two snch comedians as Evans and Hoey, a merry one. Monday night's performance of "A Pallor Match"will be the 2,174th by Evans and Hoey in this country, a record surely without a parallel In the history of the farce comedy. The truth of the matter Is that "A Parlor Match" is not to be classed with the variety shows in disgniso that have tired theatergoers of late: it is very different for instance from "A City Directory," "Hoss and Hoss" or "A Jolly Surprise," and perhaps it would be better to call it a farce, without the word comedy, which seem3 in this connection to contaminate the laughable play of the older fashion. Messrs. Evans & Hoey will appear In their old characters of McCorker and Old Hoss, nnd Minnie French is back again in her old pan of Innocent Kidd. There will be lots of novel ties in the cabinet scene, wherein Evans will "materialize" eccentric characters of all nations as they will be seen at the World's Fair in 1692. The Levey sisters, three very graceful English girls, if their photographs are to be trusted, will also furnish new dances and specialties. A good piece of news is that Sara Bern hardt will visit Pittsburg before the season is over. Manager Hyde, of the Alvln Theater, has been in correspondence about the Bern hardt for some days, and on Friday came to terms with Manager Abbey, or rather the latter came to Mr. Davis' terms. The great French actress will appear in repertoire, and as she has not been here for nine years or so, she ought to get tne sort of reception the greatest actress in the world deserves. Augustin Nenville will appear in a new version of the comedy drama "Th'e Boy Tramp," at Harris' Theater this week. The play abounds in sensational scenes and has a thrilling plot. The scenery, showing the falls of the Passaic, the East river bv night, and other picturesque views, is said to be good, and Mr. Neuville has a following among theater-goers here. Howard's Big Burlesque Company has a good reputation, nnd it brings a new bill to Harry Williams' Academy this week. It is their first visit to this city this season. "The Donkey Party" is the name of the first part, whioh introduces all the company, and both it and a burlesque on "Blue Jeans" are said to be funny. Among the artists are Lowry and .vans, tne ureat seiton. j. w. Harring ton and Ida Howell, and other clever people. Hzpbprx Jobss. The Museum-Theater. The Interest in Ella Ewing, the yonng lady 8 feet 2 Inches toll, has been even greater than was expected. In response to popular demand Harry Davis has engaged her for one week longer, and she will continue to 'attract the patrons of the Fifth Avenue Mn- eeum until next Saturday night She is truly a wonder. There are a host of other attractions for the coming week at Harry Davis' popular house. Prof. Sherman, with his goat and dog cirens; Young Samson, who breaks horse shoes with bis bare hands; Miss Bella Cozar the long-haired beauty; Jan Zarett, the conjuror, and others are in the curio hall. In the tbeatorium the Os- born and King Specialty Company will hold the boards. The company includes, among other artists, the Fitzpatrick family in their sketch, "Our Haptiy Eastern Home;" Lynch and Cadis, lightning drill artists; Charles King, the banjo comedian, and Mike Tracey, who is said to be the best soft-shoe dancer in the United States. Trie menagerie, including the Schenley Park collection, is a source of never ending entertainment. The Woi Id's Museum-Theateroffers among its attractions this week Prince Quaymite, aged 21 years and only 13 inches high; Bar num's old original What Is It? and the, Spotted. Kaffir, and In the theater Cobb, wodo ana spiaers specialty company, together with James H. Burton's dog circus. Stage Whispers. CoBixsxwill be seen here shortly In the burlesque of "Carmen Up to Date." Charles Dickson in his new musical com edy, "Incog," will shortly be seen at the Grand Opera Honse. Nat Goonwiir is booked for an early date at the Grand in his new play, "The Nom inee," in which piece he has made a decided hit Manager Habet Davis is still a very sick man and the weather is against him. No manager in the city is more generally liked, and much sympathy is expressed for him. At the Pittsburg Auditorium, during New Tear's week, Milton D. Hays' military drama, "The Little Recruit," is to be given. The proceeds will be for the bonofit or sev eral Grand Army posts of the city and vi cinity. "A Trtt to Chiw atowh" has drawn more money to the Madison Square Theater dur ing the lust week than has any rjlav nre- sented there by Manager A. M. Palmer in one week. This is a pretty commentary on New York taste. Daly's great success, "The Last Word," will follow Marie Wainwright at the Grand Opera House, with Miss Ffolllott Paget play ing the leading role. When last seen here she was playing the part oCAimt Jack in the play or that name. General Suzrxait was as keen a critic of what was good on the stage as any profes sional Journalist. Having seen "Shenan doah,"Bronson Howard's splendid war play, he wrote, "Let me cxpreas the opinion that Shenandoah' should be seen by every American patriot."

Buttlielo.it Jewelry scheme don't work as well as it did. A great event in a coinedy way for the present season may be anticipated in the production of "Eight Bells" at the Duquesne Theater, following "The Senator." "Eight Bells" Is said to be a pantomimic comedy, with new tricks, funny situations ana enough that Is refreshingly bright to amu.e the most blase theater-guer. PiTTSBUBQERS who were so delighted with "The Crystal Slipper" last season, will no doubt appreciate the announcement that the same company will be biought to this city soon and produce "Sinbad," a spec tacular entertainment which Manager Henderson himself thinks exceeds anything he has jet brought out In the same llnci Mr. E.
