Wood The above aretlio theatrical attractions for this reek. The maa who judecs Xew Tort taste by the playe, that have attracted most atten tion there this seat.on, is apt to decide that metropolitan audiences are easier to please than those of the provinces. I confess that four or Ave evenings at the theater in New Torkiecently gave me some of the sensa tions properly and commonly consequent npon a late supper of Welsh rarebit. Indi gestible plajs seem to bo the staple dramatic food, for Sew York, and the varie ties range from very broad suggestive French farce to ploomy religio-dyspeptio drama, also usuallvof French origin. The mroliolcome drama does not seem to pay dividends, howc er, for half a dozen ew York managers assured, mo wms "io season as a w Hole had been very far from pi-ontable. Terhaps, when the manageis im e the fact beaten into their noddles- that immoral plays do not necessarily produce "boodle," they will reform. 21ost rerorm movements in this world, alas! and espec ially the successful ones, have thou: origin in or about a hank book. The run of "Miss Helyett" in New York has just endei, ami Pittsirargers will have a chance to see it pretty soon. I think a good many 1'ittsburgers have seen it already, for I counted half a dozen shining lights of this city ut the Standard Theater the other night. Mrs. Leslie Carter's hair is the most astonishing thing about her. It will create nc-itnn -imnnf tho ivoinpn wherever she roe. It is tawny almost to the verge of dark oranuc in some lights, and there is enough ot it literally to cover her from her crown to her knees completely. She wears it done up in two giantio .braids, but near the cloe of the play sets It free and allows it to fall in wild disorder all overhcrseir. Alma Tadema is fond of painting hair or such a color it is like his wife's but he never endowed Greek or Eoman maiden with snch a quantity of red-gold tresses. As to "JIim llclyetr," it is decidedly risque, but undeniably laughable and cleverly writ ten. I do not think Mis. Carter is fitted verv well for the leading role, but she is certainly a bright and rather charming woman, who has been coached and schooled in acting a little more than is good ror her. The company is better than the star, which is a pleasant reversal of the usual order of things. At the pretty little Garden Theatre, in Sew Yoik, another wonderfully fair woman has Just cloaeda successful reign. Lillian Eussell's attractive powers as a star have never been better proved than by he financial success of "La Cigale." The Eussoll has lost none of her beauty. She is Justasimpcriouslvandimperiallfairasever. ihe dominates and illumines "L-i Cigale" Just as the sun does this earth. Her voice has improved, both as to actual quality and her manner of using it. I do not think, and never have thought, that Lillian Eussell be longs to comic opera; she has not the airy grace or spontaneous hnmor which opera comiqne calls foi. She is tending toward grand opera, for which her majestic beauty, her stage presence and, to a smaller extent; her voice lit her. It is caid to find out facts about such a. star as Lillian KusselL or one might discover why nobody has thought of bringing out Jliss Ku&sell to take the place left -vacant by Emma Abbott. Xobody has taken that profitable post of purvej or of grand opera tor the masses, and as far as her i olee and its training have been revealed in comic opera I should Judge that Miss Kussell could do so acceptably. The gossips in Sew York insist that she will make her debut in grand opera before Tery long, but perhaps the gossips, like those others who are lorever inaiiying poor Lillian to her managers and admirers, don't know how good a thing she has in her present sit uation. An enormous salary, a share in tne pioilts, none in the losses, and a circle of golden jouth to supply her -with diamonds and other necessanes of life, to a conilo opera artist, continually about her. As to "La Cigale," which - ill be seen here pretty soon, I ti ould prefer to see it again before pronouncing an opinion. As I have raid it is Lillian llusscll's piece, and she is at her best. Lonis Uarrison's fooling is new s ell as funny, and the extraordinary English talked by T.igliapletra and Carl ttieittnan, the latter a wondeiful tenor to find in comic opera, mako them comio a$rajnt their will. I suppose a comic opera has never had such an expensive setting as "La Cigale." The solidly-built ballroom of the last act is without exception the hand somest Interior I hat e ever seen on the stage. Another comic opera which las hardly worn off its novelty in Sew York is "The Lion Tamer." This Francis Wilson is play ing at the Broadway Theater. The first act of "The Lion Tamer" is the best, and if the other ono of two scenes ft ere as good it would be the best comic opera Wilson has yet had. The novelty of showing the dress ing tent of a traveling circus is alone enough to make the first act go. ilarie Jansen comes dancing in as a bare-back eques trienno, fresh from her triumphs In the ring. The curtain at the back of the stage part and the audience catches a glimpso of the big circus tent wheio another audience dummy sits. The public always likes to get behind the scenes, and here they have the opportunity. The first scene of act IL in a graveyard Is contrast enough in all conscience, but far too gloomy and slow in action for comio opera, especially when the comic and not the opera is s apposed to be italicized The last scene is brighter again, and Cbcever Goodwin's lines and lyrics are pointed and funny. Kichaid Stahr music is very bad when it is his, and not his own when it is good. It is unfortunate he did not steal more. The beat musical number In the piece is a duet for Wilson and Jansen in act I and it Is a clean theft from "The Mikado." Sot only is the music Sullivan's, but the idea is a close copy of that quaint conceit of Gilbert's, wherein he makes J'iU-Sinn, J'ooh Bah and Kdhi describe the execution which never took place. Splendid mountings, a good company, and Francis Wilson's very clever acting have mado "The Lion Tamer" a suc cess in Sew York, but I shouldn't be sur prised if Pittsburg never sees it. I notice that Wilson takes "The Jlcrry Monarch" to the Pacific coast in May. It makes a Pittsburger feel good to find that metropolitan theaters are not as a rule as good as Pittsburg's. A month or two ago Mr. Golden in the character of Jed Brouty said in a speech bcfoie the curtain that a theater like the Alvin was not only an orna ment to a city, ami a comfort to players and public, but n advertisement 01 no mean value for tho city hlch possessed It The truth of this statement I was constantly noting wherever I went In the Kant last week. In Sew York, Philadelphia, Boston and in fact everywhere the Alvin Theater's laine and Pittsburg's name are associated. All the theaters here compare very favor ably with places of the same class in tho bigger cities. It is t small thing, but yon may be con gratulated upon escaping "Uncle Celestin," thealleged musical comedy puton by the Ca sino people in Sew Yore "Uncle Celestin," without exception, is the dreariest thing I've seen in years, and the critics in Chicago de serve a vote of thanks for roasting It when it desolated the Cuicago Opera Homo In that city. The third act of "Men and "Women" is so good that the painful weakness of the rest ot the play, and especially the impotent and. commonplace conclusion, is haid to bear. How such a play managed to survive a met ropolitan production is hard to understand. It certainly will not outlive the next season. Manager Henderson claimed when he erected the Daqcesne Theater that he would make it the leading theater of the city. Deeds prove a claim of this sort, and deeds alone. I think Mr. Henderson has established his claim this season, for the attractions-he has played at his house since October last, with one or two exceptions, have been of the first-class, and the book ings as a whole are the best Pittsburg has ever seen. The Dispatch has on several occasions contended that Pittsburg, with Its large number of theater-going people, could sup port a good attraction for more than one week, but it remained for Manager David Henderson to demonstrate that this was true. It required considerable enterprise and confidence to' bring a theatrical com pany so expensive as "Slnbad" to this city for an engagement of two weeks, especially when the attraction had already been seen hero for a week only a month and a half pre viously, and when such an attempt bad not before been made by any other theatrical manager or play. It Is true that perform ances have been given here before for more than a week, but this has not been during tho regular season, and has been at cheap prices. The phenomenally successful engagement of "Sinbad" now in nrogress will mark a nw era In Pitts"burg's theatricals. It will be the oest possible advertisement for the city in a theatrical sense and will undoubtedly Induce , managers of other high grade attractions to book them here for longer periods than heretofore. It is doubtful If any theatrical company ever played in Pittsburg to larger receipts at regular prices than "Sinbad" has during the past week, and from the enor mous advance sale reported at the Du quesne theater for the coming week, the remainder of the extravaganza's stay here, it mav bo predicted, will be quite as profita ble. Manager Henderson announces for the comlnc week what he calls a "second edi tion" of "Sinbad." It will comprise several new songs, choruses, dances, features and Beople. Ida JIulIe, Edwin Foy, and Arthur unn have been given new solos; a number of local verses, pertinent to cur rent topics, will be sung in that very popular quartette "That's What the Wild Waves are Saying," and changes will be made in the dances in "The Winter Ballet." An addition has been made to tho dancing contingent by the engagement of the Chit ten sisters, two Spanish dancers whom Man ager Henderson recently secured in Europe. They will introduce what is said will be an entlrelv novel and nniaue "sernentine" dance, which will rely for its effects-to a great extent on attractive poses and grace ful manipulations of draperies. At the end of Its engagement here next Saturday night "Sinbad" will depart for tho West and will not acraln be seen In Pittsburg, as the Amer ican Extravaganza Company will next sea eon be engaged in the presentation of David Henderson's fifth extravaganza, "All Baba, Jr." Margaret Mather in a new play is the Interesting event at the Bijou Theater thi3 week. Tho play is a new dramatio version of Victor Hugo's great novel, "Tho Hunch back ofSotre Dame," and is 6aid to contain much pictorial beauty, as well as intense interest. It was clayed for the first time in Chicago last week and made a good Impres sion upon audiences there. Miss Mather has always pleased Pittsburgers, and her ap pearance in a new roie is sure so excise attention. She will bo assisted by Otis Skinner, an actor of great ability, and a good company. The scenery has been specially jfcintedfor this play from photographs of the localities in Paris. Added to these features of interest will be found another in the fact that Miss Mather as Esmeralda will have a new line of emo tions to depict, new in the sense of never having portrayed them in past efforts. Still another feature of the production will be the presence of a lot of graceful dancers, who have been secured for the production here and added not a little to the success of the tragedy in Chicago last week. It will be easily imagined that with the action of the play laid in the early part of 1500 theie 'are opportunities for costuming, especially as the introduction of the monk, Claude FroUo, with his cowl and bis garb of black, will offer strong features of contrast for the gay colored costumes of the Egyptians and street dancers. "The Clarity Ball" returns to ns Monday evening, at the Alvin Theater. As there will be no performance on Tuesday evening, the piece will bo given seven presentations by Daniel Frohman's company, and it is not likely that it will ever be seen here again, or, at any rate, by so good a company as the present, which is practically that of last year. There are some new people in the parts, of course. Mr. Boyd Putnam Is still that lead ing spirit among the masculine portion of the characters, John Van Bnren, and Mr. Gregory and Misses Greybrooke and Logan are among others of the principals that Mr. Frohman has Tetained for this tour. The new leading lady, Miss Chapman, comes well recommended as an aotress of aood method and cood training, and Miss Elton, in the PhylisLee role.seems to be no less successful. That amusing and lovable character. Judge Peter Gxtrney Enor, finds able exposition at the hands of W. A. Sands, and the other comedy parts. Ales. Robtnson and Sets Tan Bicren, have been intrusted this season to two clever young people, Marriam Bruce and j eannette cowrie. "William Gillette, who is known to all theater-goers as the author of that powerful military drama, "Held by the Enemy," and of "The Private Secretary," has given to the publio a fitting companion piece to the last named in his latest work, "All the Comforts of Home," which is to be presented at the Grand Opera House by Charles Frohman's company of players. The piece is written in his happiest vein, and has a moral, whioh, however, is left lor the audience to apply, and not obtrusively thrust forward. The situations are comical, and the scenes full of fun. The interpretation of this mirth pro ducer is In the hands of one of Mr. Charles Frohman's most select companies. Among them may be mentioned Mr. S. Miller Jfent, Mr. Frank Iamb, Mr. Samuel Edwards, Mr. Herbert Ayllng, Mr. J. B. Hollis, Mr. H. A. Morey, Mr. Jaques Martin, Mr. Arthur Hobson, Mr. James F. Bickard, Mr. D. J. Sherwood, Mr. George E. Lask, Miss Mande Haslam, Miss KntoDenin-Wilson, Miss Pearl Means, Miss Goldie Andrews and MlssTrella Foltz. The production here will be on tho same scale as it was seen in Sew York. Harry Kernell is a whole show by him self, and Pittsburgers have always fallen In with his humor. He brings his own com pany to Harry Williams' Academy this week, and offers besides his own personality the work of such clever people as Blanche Anarews, xne souDreue: Williams and Bulger, negro impersonators: O'Brien and Bedding, comedians; the Highjeys, musical artists; Blockson and Burns, the All Brothers and others. The afterpieoe will be "The Half-Way House," an amusing skit. 2T. S. "Wood, the talented young actor, will be seen at Harris' Theater this week in his new drama, "The Orphans of Sew York." The story deals with a bootblack, who is in reality a person of affluence in society. S. S. Wood plays the bootblack, of course, The Sfiiner, and is provided with several oppor tunities for the display of his talents. The scenery of the production is capital, the representation or Battery Park, Sew York, and of the destruction by fire of the Sew York Catholio Orphan Asylum are said to be realistic. ' Hepetob Johk s. World's Unaeam-Theater. The curiosity hall at this popular house presents some strong attractions this week There are some great freaks of nature. Jo Jo, the great and only Russian, dog-faced man, who is so near to the canine in his ap- ?earanco that he had to leave his native and, where dogs do not have a halcyon time, is the cblef feature. Unzll. the hand some Australian bushman, and Orsona, the man with the iron hair, and Fatima, the charming Hindoo, vrho enchants snakes and human beings alike, are also on exhibition. In the theater the Fitzgerald and Lewis Dramatic Companv will give the new and original drama "Desperate Chances, or The Lost Heiress," depicting life in Sew York City. This play offers large chances for Bcenie display, and among other pictures of rare beauty, there will be shown upon the stage, the Brooklyn bridge by moonlight, a grand water scene, and another of the wharves of Sew York at night with the shipping illuminated. Davis' Museum-Theater. A touch of the arctic will be in season at this house this week, and as a genuine curi osity Chief Debro and his wife, illustrating Esquimaux life, will be interesting beyond a doubt..

Fbaxk L FitA-rin, Ja, in his successful drama, "The Boy Banger," will be the next attraction at Harris' Theater, week com mencing Monday, February 29. William Stuakt, the young Pittsburger in Julia Marlowe's company, has made a great hit in Boston as Claudia, in "Much Ado Abont Sothing." All tho Boston papers praise him. LnxiATr BtrsszLL has set up belongings in Boston lor a four-weeks' stay. She opened there last Monday in"La Cigale" and made a terrific hit. She will only visit tho larger cities and of course Pittsburg will get a peep at her for one week. She comes in April. The Chitton Sisters,two Spanish danseuses, make their first appearance in this country with "Sinbad" at the Duquesne Theater on Monday night of the second week's engage ment. Their dance is said to bo very novel and has never before been seen in this coun try. Miss Mathee will givo "Sance Oldfield," a little comedy before "The Egyptian," which will be played at tho B(Jou Theater ever night this week, but Friday. On Fri day she will appear in "Leah," and at the Wednesday matinee In "Romeo and Juliet." There will be no Monday matinee. FnAEXEirr Mahtha Ikmxeb, the graceful premiere danseuse, Assoluta, of the "Sin bad" company, now playing at the Du quesne Theater, appears in a different cos tume at every performance. She dances dnrlnsr this week in the following costumes: White, black, violet, red, blue, pink and green. "YonYonson" is again coming to Pitts burg, with Gns Heege as tho star.

Dur ing his coming engagement Mr. Willard will present not only "The Middleman," but his other great impersonation, "Judah." Aside from being one of the best actors ever seen. In this country himself, Mr. Willard brings with him a company of sterling actors. Fob years the Boston Theater has been noted for its production of spectacle and melodrama, its immense stage and equally large and perfect auditorium, making it a most fitting house for this purpose. The last of these great productions was done at the Boston last year, where it ran to tre; mendous business for almost the entire sea sonHarris and Pettitt's superb military drama, "The Soudan." For this dramatio year the play passed into the hands of Klaw and Erlanger, and their company y. ill play It at the Alvin next week. Or Mile. Rhea, who will be at the Alvin March 7, a critic says: "Rhae has made the hit ot her life in the 'Czarina, or Catharine I of Russia.' It was written by Eugene Scribe for the great Rachel, The last act, especially, is superb. Rhae, with the crown on her head and scepter in her hand, looks every inch nn empress. As for her dresses, she was, is and always will be the most ex quisitely dressed actress on the stage. Her dress in the second act Ii white velvet, with the white fur and the 'Kakoshlick,' or Rus sian head dress, and is a dream of loveli ness." The only new play of note produced last week in Sew York was "Gloriana," played by Charles Frohman's players at Hermann's Theater. It is an adaptation by James Mortimer of Chlvot and Duru's Palais Royal play, "Le Truc"d' Arthur," first produced In 16S2, but transplanted to the London Globe, where it is still running successfully. It made a ringing success here, and as a laugh provoker will prove irresistibio to 2er Yorkers. Miss Henrietta Crossman was Qlortana, a cool, captivating creature, and everything the authors could have imagined in the character was capitally expressed by the clever actress. The production was rich in individual successes, every one of Mr. Frohman's company doing splendid work. Maxaqer David HESDERSOSi with his cus tomary enterprise, has inaugurated a novel feature in the conduct of the business affairs of the Duquesne Theater.

The enor mous patronage which "Sinbad" has re ceived from cities like McKeesport, Steuben ville. West Sewton, Klttannlng and other towns in this neighborhood, has demon strated that Pittsburg theaters have a very largo suburban trade to draw from. During tho past week it is estimated that over 17,000 people have witnessed "Sinbad," and of this number probably 7,000 were from adjacent cities. In order to accommodate this large class of patrons, Manager Henderson has decided npon his new dopartnre. Hereafter orders for seats bv mail to the Duquesne Theater will be filled immediately and' as satisfactorily as if the applications were made in person to the box office of tho theater.

The receipts of tho performance were over $8,000 and the bill comprised nearly every prominent artist playing in the Sew York theaters.

It will be continued in Sow York until May, when his Pacific Coast tour as "The Merry Monarch" will begin.

"The Merry Monarch" will be seen then with en tirely new scenery and costumes. "The TTBOLEAS"and "Sanon" are the two operas to be produced by the Rudolph Aron son Opera Company during their coming en gagement, week commencing February 29, at the Duquesne Theater. The former, which will be sung'for the first three nights of the week, is a novelty In Pittsburg, but New York reports speak so well of it that it may be conceded in advance as a suc cess. The extremely catchy and tuneful numbers of the score, and the variety and excellence of the plot, may be set down as Important factors of its popularity. It achieved a success at tho Casino, Sew York," equal to any of the productions that have made the fame of Manager Aronson's hand some temple of comic opera. For the latter half of the week "Sanon" will be revived, with all tho elaborateness and magniflcenoe of the Casino company's productions. The company, this year an exceptionally strong one, is headed by that charming artiste, Miss Marie Tempest, who has already won her way into the hearts of the Pittsburg public, and will without doubt receive a most hearty welcome on her return here. A prosperous week's business is anticipated. GOSSIP OFJHE GUARD. Quartermaster Harry F. Davis, of the Eighteenth Regiment, is in St. Louis on a brief trip. Colokt.l Sorjtaw M.

Colonel Cose reviews the proceedings of the'trial at great length, es pecially that part brought out by the wit nesses for Lieutenant Beese, going into details as to tho exact language used and taken down by the stenographer, Dut singularly enough, fails to refer In detail to the testimony of Lieu tenant Hunstokor or Colonel Ernmbhaar. In conclusion Colonel Case states that there was nothing in Adjutant Reese's conduct which would reflect on hi.q vernnltv. disci pline, behavior and obedience to orders, and considering the fact that Colonel Erumb haar retracted his profane language and that Colonel Hunsictter was hasty In Ms im plication that the other officers of the regi ment would uphold Mr. Reese in a He, the matter should be dropped.
