The aboe are the theatrical attractions
lor this week.
Tl.e great difiicultv which the romantic
nctor has to-day in getting ne""' PlaJ s to snit
him is illustrated in Mr. JIanteU"s accept
ance or Edward M. Allfriend's "The Louii
nnian," which he plajed at the Bijou on
Triday night Xo doutit Mr. Jlautell chose
this drama from union; many offered him,
and how had they must have been it makes
one shiver to think of. "The IiDuisianian"
miirht have heen expected to he a picture or
life In Louisiana at a most intere'tins time,
for thousn the play is YHjrne'.y dated "time
of the First Empire" IJudse that tin period
immediately succeeding Louisiana' sal to
the United fctates, that is. after 1)3, is
meant, for an American Governor of Louisi
ana appears in the first act of the play. The
play has no historical alue, and local
color 1 absolutely anting; the whole Btory
might have been placed in any other coun
trv with a mere change of names and
scenes. When the construction of the play
1 considered "Tho lioulsianian" anpc.tr to
no better advantage. The first act is mostly
talk, a prolojuo in fict. The second act
takes a jump lrom Louisiana to Paris, and
tho conventional ma&qupd ball lslujreed in
In spite of the jrreat difficulties besetting
ocean travel n hundred years ajro moss of
the LouiM.ini.ins, male and female, luve
crossed the Atlantic and meet in this ball
room. Naturally a duel scene succeeds thi-s
thoush how the duel forwards the tory of
the plav, or what its raiton d'etre, is beyond
my comprehcnsion.
Thc story of "The Louisianian" is as far
A3 I can make out, this: Louis SL Arniand is a
Creole of distinguished family. He has been
haiing a wild time in Paris and returns
home at the commencement of tho play.
There he renew s his suit for Ruth Claiborne1 1
hand and is accepted, though his parents
object to the match because she is the
daughter of an American, and her parent
because lie is a Creole of unsteady habit
They are lencwmg their engagement when
first old Armand arrive and disinherits his
son for disobedience, and then to clinch
matters a mvstenous French Countess
conies in nnd claims Xo-juas her husband.
Jvtwis icluma to France and ni
ters the French service. He meets
Rvth at a inatked ball, where
thfat discreet yonnc peison is found unchap-
eronea. a former suitor ot Hums m mi;
Luglish nav discoers them billing and
cooing and insults Ijoui. Then tollowsan
elaborate duel ith pi-tols, consuming a
whole act. Louis is w ounded; the audience
is led to believe fatally. But Zaun is tough
and survivs to meet the mytenous count
ess, who ciamis to bo his wne, in his apart
ments. ci,e tries to witch him with her
beauty, and after letting do n her beauti
ful liairaud crawling about the floor on her
knees to no curpo-e attempts to scare him
with threats, a police officer overhears her
boastful coiiiesMon of how she has plotted
to get Lmiu' mone, and arrests Her. but she
tals hei-elflu tlie heart. Tr.en Lout re
turns to Auiei ica and marries the virtuous
Ruth. This wonderfully new and original
Mory is woiked out without any regard
for probabilities, and there is not a line of
natural dialogue in the play. It n all monot
onously stupid; and even act IV., w hicij is
supposed to be thrilling, only succeeds .'n
beingunpleasant. It is acted badly by the
whojfc company, excepting perhaps Miss
Jeyie Bu--le, who put some tender sensi
bility into the character of Ruth. 31r. ilan
teil was unusually monotonous, and ap
peared to ha e great difficulty in pumpmg
out his emotion, which never gotbeyond the
vocaL Pel harts the takinir orf and nutting
on a variety of gorgeous clothes, together J
witn tne ueaticess 01 tuepiay, exnaustea
his energies. Mi-s Behrens tiied very liaid
to make tn mysterious French countess in
teresting it was too huge a trsk for her or
any woman. The rest of the perionnance
w as bad.
The little curtain-raiser, "A Lesson in
Acting," as ha already been said in The
DisrATCH, is cleverly written, and Mr. 3Ian
tell and Miss Busley did justice to their
share in it. The story briefly is this:
Xaunce Lasarge, of the Comedio Francaise,
bus a wife fit teen years his Junior. She is
enticed away by an enemy of her husband's
who pretends to be her lover. Maurice re
turns home, and a stasc-struclc youtu calls
upon him for aid in climbing the Thespian
ladder. Maurice, to show- him practically in
what good acting consists, enacts a little
domestic drama. Suppose," savs he, "your
wifo has deserted you and you find
& note on your return home an
nouncing her flight, show me how you
would express vour emotion on the stage."'
The stagi -struck lad tues and fails, of
course. Then Maurice undertakes to show
him how sucu a scene should he acted. But
Maurice picks up the letter w Inch his wile
had left to tll him ol her ciopement: and as
ho begins to lead it the acting becomes
reality. It is a. reat idea, and Mr. Mautell
was very succe-slul in distinguishing the
actor from the man, as well as in the broader
orkof bringing out tho pathos of the epi
sode. Tho boy looks on in wonder at the
great actor, as he thinks, surpassing natuie
in his art, and the curtain lulls as the dis
tracted nusband sw oons aw ay.
There is not much to be added to what
has already been aid about "Tho Senator;"
as a performance it is on the whole a work
of art Mi. Crane is not the whole show, to
use a slang phrase, and as far as Pitts
burg audiences arc concerned. Miss Hattie
Russell, as that altogether charmin big
widow ZIri. JMary, by her unique vivacity
and earr.estnfs shared the honors of ap
plause will, the star. Mr. Frawley's suo
dued and phlegmatic lieutenant is also a
taking departure from the common, and one
might go on and praise almost every person
iu the cast. Miss Stuart and Mr. Leslie are
missed, and the gentleman who takes the
latter's place is out of his element: though
w hat is element I cannot pretend to say.
Mr. Crane will bo fortunate if he ictains
Miss ItusscU.
The scenery in "Amy liobsart" is quite
out of the ordinary, as tne stage hands at
the Grand Opera House know to their cost.
It i the hea icst and the loftiest lot of stuff
set upon a local stage this season. In the
last act of "Amy Kobsart" the Grand Opera
Houe stage, big as it i, was packed with
i-et pieces, drops and wings lrom the Jarst
entrance to the back wall.
Miss Wainw right is Irittering away valua
ble time on such things as the unsubstantial
character of Amy RiAjsart, and while we can
even in the pictorial mazes of this romantio
melodrama distinguish her beauty as a
woman andhei abilities as an acti ess, itmust
be the hope and desire of her admirers that
hhc will return to the higher walks of the
Urania which the so much adorned. From
l'jnfaar.d I2orahnd to Sir Walter Scott's Amy
IMjsart, filtered thiough a. cheaply-minded
dramatist, is a long descent, and I hope lor
one that Mies Maiuwugui win retrace ner
fetcps.
Jlomantic actors who want to retain their
standing as something superior to their
melodramatic brethren, must keep good
company. It is in the artistic and not the
moral sense that this is meant; a star of such
pretensions as Mr. Mantell cannot afford to
ravel with a suppott so weak as that which
made a great many w ho visited the Bijou
Inst week very, t ery tired. It is not a square
deal with the public; and if Mr. Mantell is
fain to consider it selflfahly, it is bad busi
ness policy. The more unwise is it iu tho ac
tor who cannot expect to long avoid tho
penalties ot increasing years, corpulence
nndalossofjoutbful looks.
Harry Dai is' Museum.
Linns, the Lorso for which $100,000 was re
fused lately, is to be at Harry Davis' Fifth
Avenue Museum this week. This magnifi
cent tnimal has been on exhibition in most
III LUG III 1JJU.A U1UWO V. tUV WUUHlj All" I
eluding Hew York, and has created -a- trc-.
mendons sensation everywhere, especially
among the ladies. He has several points of
beanty, among which the length and tex
ture of his tail and mane must be mentioned
particularly. Here are their dimensions:
Foretop, 8 feet 9 inches: mano, 9 feet 9 inches:
tail, 12 feet SincTies. The hair is of almost
silky fineness, nnd the effect, with mane and
t.ill flowing to tho ground, is said to be
beautiful. Manager Harry Davis will piv
the owner of Linus Jl 000 for the privilege
of exhibiting the horse one week at the
Fifth Avenuo Museum. Linus is not
onlv a curiosity, but a beautiful specimen
of "equine Di-anty. Other features of
the entertainment will be Paul and Dot
Crowley, little people w ho weiirli 20 and 33
pounds respectively: Zelo, the Jin-s Hair
Queen; Young Samson, a powerful fellow
who breeks horseshoes with his bare bancs
and snais chains bv the cxpinsion of his
bleeps, etc. In tho theatorinui Sam and
Kittv Holdsworth, suonoitcd by a good
vaudeville company, will hold the boards.
The menagerie is an'interesting depnrtment
of nan v Pi vis' Museum. All this week tho
doors will open at 11 a. m. instead of lr. n.
Considering the continual advertising it
b as received there must bo iery few thea
tergoers who do not know what sort of a
play "Shenandoah" is. and how patriotic is
its teaching in every Tcspect. It returns
once more to the Bijou Theater this weclc
"Shenandoah" has been described and criti
cised in The Dispatch time and again, and
it is hardly necessary to rcmaiK again that
it is the best militirv plav ever produced in
America, and a wholesome, bright nnd in
teresting work from beginning to end. The
cast, which is not at hand, is tahl to be the
same that has played tho piece in the great
cities this season, and being under the man
agement of Charles Frohmtn ought to bo
good. The scenery and military effects are,
it is promised, worthy of the play.
""Eight Bells" is one of the novelties of
the season. It is a pantomimic and acro
batic burlesque of the nature of the Hanlooi'
"Voyage en SuissV" and it is promised that
it will be fully as amusing as that laughable
play to thoso who see it at the Duquesne
Theato"this week. The Brothers Byrne, and
especially J. F. Byrne,have won a world-wide
reputation as acrobats, and it is on their
work that the goand roaringfun of the farco
depend. The scene is; variously laid on land
and sea, and the events that take place on
ship-board are said to be the most surprising
ever seen on the stage. The Xew York
critics and others have praised the whole
performance, which includes also many
amusing specialties, furnished by the Elec
tric quartet and Tom Browne, the whistler,
and others. The scenery also is said to be
striking.
One of notabln playa of this season in
America is "The Dancing Gtri," which E.H.
Sothcrn and his company will give at the
Alvin Theater this week. It is by the Mr.
Jones who wrote "The Middleman," and
"Judah," and it seems to bo more out ot the
common run of life than either of these.
Mr. Sothern plays an English aristocrat,
extra-gilt, and Miss Harned's Quakeress,
who is also a premiere danseuse, the title
role, has Deen highly praised in the East.
The cast which accompanies Mr. Sothern
this year is essentiallv the same as hereto
fore, and comprises Messrs. Morton Seltcn,
Tioland Buckstone, Harry Evtinge, Wright
Hnntimfton, Misses Virginia Harned, Jennie
Dunbar. Jennie Kennark, Mrs. Kate Patti-son-Selten
and others. On account of the
length of the performance it has been ar
ranged to commerce piomptly at 8 each
evening, which will ensure its erding before
111 Matinees will be given on Wednesdays
and Saturdays.
The memory of some hearty laughs at
her and the bis hat in "Aunt Jack" last sea
son accompanies the announcement of Miss
Ffolliott Paget's appearance this week at
the Grand Opera House m "The List Word,"
a comedy from Daly's hand and Daly's
Theater. Judging by the countless favor
able opinions of Miss Taget and her play
expressed elsewhere, I should say that it is
tolerablr certain that both are highly en
tertaining. Miss Paget is surrounded by a
number of good actors, and it ispiomised
tuat ine piay win uu uivuu wim uuisu. auu
Last Word" made something of a hit at
Daly's last season, and is said to combine
refined comedy ith simple pathos in a very
pleasant way.
Peggy Pryde, the bright star of the Lon
don variety houses, and the daughter of
famous Jennio Hill, will mats her first ap
pearance in Pittsburg to-morrow evening at
Williams' Academy. Shoisthe chief figure
in the big bill which Reilly and Wood offer
this week, and she is said to be a very clever
girl and one who has struck out a path for
herself. She acts, sings and dances very
well it is said, and her dresses and diamonds
are also talked about a great deal.
She is tho feature or the olio, but the
bill includes many gifted artists,
among whom may be meutioned Allen
and liegan, the well-known English mu
sical artists; Frank Goldio and Sal
lio St. Clair, American sketch fa-vor-itcs:
Andy Hughes, assisted be McBride and
Walton, in an amusing sketch, introducing
scientific boxing; the beautiful Washburn
Sisters, dnetists and dancers, and Tlelding,
the marvelousjuggler. The olio will be fol
lowed by a spectacular burlesque, entitled
"Hades and the 400."
An oddly-named structure of Eongi,
dances, knockabout humor and high Jinks
generally, comes to Harris' Theater this
week. It is "His Xibs, the Baron," and
claims to bo a slightly satirical skit upon
w ould-be aristocrats ana suobocracy in gen
eral. The usual number of specialties, in
cluding selections by tho Royal Star Quar
tette, are introduced incidentally.

CrtARLES Diokeos will present his new
comedy "Incog" at the Grand Opera House
next week.
Linus will be raised to the second Btory of
Hairy Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum by a
derrick to-morrow morning.
As usual, Maggie Mitchell will be the
Christmas attraction at the Bijon. She will
appear In "The Little Maverick" and "Kay.'
Daniel Boone, with hid lions, that have
created a sensation in New York, will soon
appear at Harry Davis' Fifth Avenuo Mu
seum. Nat Goodwin In "The JTomineo," wnich
has not been seen here yet, will be the
Christmas attraction at the Grand Opera
House '
Off the stage Miss Paget is a handsome
blonde, with curly brown hair, and spark
ling blue ej es, and a smile of winning sweet
ness. Corikte when she presots "Carmea Up to
Date" at the Bijon next week, will have the
assistance of John Gilbert and Bernard
Dyllon.
After all Lily Langtry will not bloom with
the other flowers in spring for us. She is
said to be ill and has canceled her American
engagements.
Owiso to the length of Mr. Sothern's play,
"The Dancing Girl," the management has
decided to commence the performance at 8
o'clock instead of 8:15.
Stuart Boesox comes to this city
Christmas week, and during the engagement
willpiest-nt "She Stoops to Conquer," "Is
Maruage a Failure?" and "The Henrietta."
"The Lost Paham6e" seems to be the
greatest pla Xew York has seen in many
seasons, and its stay at Proctor's Theater on
Twenty-third street will only be limited by
the ending of the season next spring. The
critics say it is a greater play than "The
Two Orphans."
"Miss Hellvett," Manager Charles Froh
man's first venture in the operatlo field,
seems to have carried New York by storm,
A clever critic says "Miss Hellyett" has
brought together a medley of merry music,
a garland of graceful girls, with faces pretty
as pictures, a quantity of quaint Quaker
isms and an array or artists such as is sel
dom seen on one stage at the same time.
Mr. Dietz, the manager of Miss Paget, is
the bi other of Ella Dietz-CIymer, tho
famous president of Sorosis, who has lately
gained fresh laurels by her successful
scheme of the fedeiation of women's clubs
in the United States. A member of Miss
Paget's company. Miss Drew, is a writer
who, under the non de plume of Marjory
Daw, has won much notice.
The lithographs of Gilmore's Band are
seen about the city, announcing that P. S.
Gilmore. and his musicians will be at the
Auditoiium on Tuesday, December 15, for
the matinee and evening. The vocalists
with the band are Emma and Emilie
Schneciocb, soprano and contralto, respect
ively; Mons. Clodis, tenor; Ed O'Mahonoy,

will open at S. Hamilton's niusio store nest
Wednesday morning.
Mr. Hesrt Miller, at present playjng the
-Earl of Leicester in Miss Wain Wright's pro
duction of "Amy Bohsart," has secured from
Mr. Arthur Wallack the exclusive right to
that sterling comedy drama "Cosedale,"and
at the conclusion of his engagement with
Miss Wainwright, will make a grand icenio
production of the piece, opcnlns his season
in San Francisco on or about June L Fred
Meek, for several seasons Miss Wain wrigh t's
Dusinesa manager, will direct his tour. This
will be in tho nature of an experiment and

"I have subjected myself for

ommended for gout and rheumatism,
without any benefit, until I heard of
your imported Carlsbad Sprudel
Salts, which I used faithfully for six
weeks, dieting for the first three
weeks and afterward eating almost
anything I desired. All the gouty
and rheumatic symptoms left me after
the fourth week, and my general
