THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAT 8. I i Bijor TntATTjt "Tlic Clemencem Case." Grivd Opera 1I0C6F "The Fire Patrol." ALnxTnFKTER...."Mr. Win.! non's Widows." Williams' ACAPrw...... Kennedys Kings. World's MrEUM CurloMtles. Etc Davis' MCEecm Cariosities. Lie. The above are the theatrical attractions for this week. The close of the tframatlc seaon of 1S91 2 is so near at hand that it is possible already to make an estimate of tho results. As far as the public of Pittsburg Is concerned, I think beyond a doubt that the past season has i:iren them a better line of attractions at the theaters than ther ever had bofore. The openlnz of tho Alvin Theater lat fall made it possible for neaily every first-class com panj in the country to set a date in Pitts burg, a thins; which had nevor existed here before. Each year a certain number of flrt-c!as plays and companies ha e been excluded fiom the citv for the simple rea son that dates at the existing theaters could not be hid. It is not a certain fact as some people would have usbelieve.that Pittsburg cannot support four eo-called flist-class theaters, in addition to a number of second class houses, but it Is to be feared that for a year or t o one at least of the selected four will suffer from the close competition, and none or them will make a great deal of money. Buttheieisa creations distance between making a bairel and bankiuptcy, and most of the theaters will continue to get fair returns upon their investment. Most of the traveling companies complain that the past season has been anything bus profitable. In Sew Tork, which is com monly taken as a. criterion for the rest of the countrv, the theaters, with but two or three exceptions, have not made money on the season. It is rather unfortunate that better fortune has not attended the theaters during the past nine months, for next fall with its Presidental election will make the atrical sledding liaider than ever. The Duquesne Theater closed its doors for the season last night. Somebody has been busily engaged circulating a report that David Henderson intended to relinquish the Duquesne Theater next season. The popu lar manager was in the city during the past week, and had a word to say on tho subject that was emphatic and dnectly to the point. "I have no doubt,'' he said, "that a great many cheap people who manage cheap houses, and other houses in a cheap manner, would lejoice very much if I should lease inj liou-e to someone else. The truth of the matter is, that the Duquesne Theater hav ing plaved nearly all of the leading attrac tions of the country in the season Just clos ing, will have even a stronger list next year. I promised the people of Pittsburg that I w ould make our theater the leading amuse ment resoit of the city. I did not intend this as an idle boast, and as to whether I have made lnv claim good, I leave the public to .Judge Cei tain it is that the Duquesne The ater lias pioduced the flncbt line con tinuously of attractions over known in the amusement history of the citv. The patronage during the spason Justclosinghis been J3 per cent better than the correspond ing w eeks of the ye.ir before. The lioue to day Itself is admittedly in advance of all other theaters. It has a strong hold on popu lar favor, and for tho coming season lias a list of attractions contracted that are even pieater than those of the present year. There is not the slightest danger of my le linquishlng the house which I built and paid lor, and whenjouheai anyone say that I in tend doing so, you may wager that it is the lellow who would like to see me do it." Amomg the attractions that will appear at the Duquesne Theater during the coming season are: Mrs. Bernard Beers, tho cele brated English actress Modjeska. Fanny Davenport" Stuart Bouson, W. H. Crane, the liostonians, all of Hovt's successes: Russell's Comedians, Wilson Barrett, Nell Buress, Francis Wilson Opera Company; De Wolf Hopper Opera Company, Margaret Mather, Xat Goodwin, tne Isle of Champagne Opera Company. Digby Bell, In "Jupiter;" the Pitou "stock Company, E. S. Willaid and Agnes Huntington. The statement telegraphed to New Tork fiom tins city that Modjeska opened to $100, while Snllian's first night's lecelpts weie $1,100 was not tine, but so far as the propor tion of the figures was concerned it was not to much out of the way. Tho New Tork papers have commented on it as an Instance of the Philistinism of Pittsburg, but, good leading as these squibs made, it is not fair to this city to say that there are not as large a propoition of theatei-goers here ho would go to see "Modjeska." orany other le gitlnnte attraction in piefcrcnce to a prize ling melodrama as there are in any other city of the tamo mzc in the country. "Mod JeR.i" could not expect to plav a very suc cessful engagement so l.ito in the season here, but her audience grew nightly and the latter part of the week she plaved to a very pood bu-iness. Tho performances given by ModjesLaand herconipany were very artis tic, without exception. Hefeub:. Jonxs. The BIJon Theater. Tho "Clemenceau Case," w hich Is to be again pi evented at the Bijou next week, needs no intioduction, even if it had never been seen hoie. French play3 are the out growth of Ficnch life. It Is theieflexof French society; what is commonplace there is staitllng here. Tnero is not a French play by adaptation, from "Camille" to "Cleopatra," that does not tread on the perllons they, without exception, have one theme Illicit love. That is all the excuse that can be urged for the presentation of "The Clemenceau Case." The play has been tonod down since objections were flist raised, jt is said, and it is now no more ob jectionable than any of Saraou'e dramas, and the model scene does not go beyond what Is teen in everv opera and spectacular produc tion. Miss Sybil Johnstone, who Is a lady of much facial comeliness an'l handsome figure, still impei sonates Izi (her original character) Her supporting company, with, a few exceptions, is said to be good. Grand t'prra Honsr. "The Flro Patrol," a sensational and real istic melodrama from the pen of James W. Harkins, Jr., is the announced attraction at the Giand Opera House next week. It is claimed for the play that it is not only staged in a very realistic manner, but It possesses an well-defined, interesting plot. The sconces of the play are laid between Deadwood, S. D., and Sew Tork City, and git e oppoi tumty for the introduction of a fire patrol wagon and horses, and a sceno which is said to correctly rcpiesent the in terioi of a gold-stumping mill In Deadwood. Theplaj tcllsa fctoryot mining life In the far West, love, tho estT-angemont of two bosom friends, the escape of one of them to.HVw Toik, wheie he becomes capttin of the flie patrol and through tins position Is enabled to clear up the false charge of murder, re turns to Deadwood, confounds his enemies, and is reunited to his friend. The play has been on tour since the beginning of tho soTson, when it was produced In New Toik City with success. Considerable speolal scenery is used and without doubf'The Fire Patrol ' will meet with the same success here that has been accorded it in all parts of the country. Alvin Theater. "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows," the latest pro duction from William Gillette's pen, will bo the attraction at the Alvin Theater on Mon day evening. The piece is said to be ex coedinglv amusing, and will be presented with theorisinalcastand scenery. Wlthsuoh artists ns Mr. Joseph Holland, Mrs. Georgie Drew IJairvtii'ne, Emily Ilanckor, Mattie Ferguson, Annie Wood, John W. Thompson, Thomas H IluniB Thomas W. Eiley, Ade laide Gray and Edw. Coleman, it ought to prove w orthy of its reputation. Harry fMlllams Academy. Kennedy's Kings of Fun, as tbey are called, come to this house this week. Mr. J. E. Kennedy himself Is a pillar of humor. Gordon and Lick are good musicians. Brig ham is a ventriloquist and Hughes and Far ron give plantation sketches. The "gilt edged swelle," Frye and Hamilton, the Klnc Kissall, the Ventlnls, champion acrobats and hat spinners, and Walter Phenix are memt-ers of the company. So are the Bar rett Biotliers and Master Franklo, the youngest down on oalth, and the mesmer ist. Prof. J. F. Flynn. Barnum'a Snow Approacliln;. The stupendous and magnlfloent historical and dramatio spectacle, and which 1b this season so appropriately presented as an ad dition to the many other meritorious, mar velous and Instructive attractions of the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, Is not in Its scope and purpose a play. In the ordinary acceptation of the term, but rather a most striking and realistic object lesson In that portion of ancient history connected with the wars of Granada and Columbus' voyage and discovery, and a masterly and thoroughly accurate "reproduction of tho scenes and incidents connected therewith. Months were spent studying tho historical documents In the archives of Europe, and seeking old prints and paintings, and In specting ail oujeots nnq material in any way relating to the subject and era in which the scenes of the spectacle are laid, and In gathering a wealth of detail concerning the costumes, weapons snd customs of that time. For the presentation or this grand series or living tableaux $75,000 worth of scenery Is required, a staieiSOfeet in length, 1.200 characters, toeether with wild beasts and horses and $250,000 worth of armor, weapons, trappings and devices of the most historically eoriect designs and expensive material, tjesidei the world's best musical composeis and terpsichorean and orchestral directors. This truly great and remarkable spectacular production is presented as an addition to nil the multitude of marvelous wonders in the greatest show on earth, its two menageries, triple cirous In three rings upon two elevated stages and the wonder ful leats In midair and in the hippodrome, and taken in its vast entirety renders it Just exactly what the title suggests the gieatest show on earth. It will all be here in Its un divided greatness on Monday Rnd Tuesday, May 16 and 17, with the tremendous new street parade In the morning at 9 o'clock. DaTfs' Mnsenm-Theater. Thn rvmntv Cirens will continue this week at Harry Davis' Museum-Theater, but with new features and new laces, including Melville's troupe of performing bears, the tlhriutlan burlesauo boxes. Fill Major Decker and Bobby Eolfo, FIJI Jim and Annie; Eldorado, the representative Amer ican ventriloqist and his wooden-headed family: William Schoof, with his wonderfnl collection of slave-trade relics; Jerome, the phenomenal contortionist of Barnum's show, and EInino Eddie, the great rope-dancer, - .i.A- ...1.1. rln-L- f21hV.a tVin nlnwn liflTA luebiici nivii v... ..w, ..w . .. . been re engaged. Other announcements for the house are the bootblack contest and the grand annual baby show. World's Museum-Theater. The two wrestling bears, "Jumbo" and "Bismarck," will be the big attraction at this house this week. Jumbo is a fine 3-year-old, 6Ieet2inches high, weighing over 0 pounds, while Bismarck is 2K yetrs old. 5 feet 8 inches high and weighing 400 pounds. Tney will wrestle together and with any man who caies to tackle them, and wants to get the $5 offered by the management. The bears are said to be good wrestlers. In the theater Stanley's Palace Varieties will give an amusing and leflned performance. Harris' Theater. The favorite character actor, Marlande Clarke, comes to Harris' Theater this week. Mr. Clarke has been seen here before and made a favorable impression by his clever work. He will be snnpoi ted by a good com pany. The repertoiie has been arranged as follow s: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hvde." and for the bal ance of the week Henry Irving's great suc cess, "The Bells." Stage Whispers. iJupiter," Ditby Bell's new opera, Is a great success, and will run all summer at Palmer's Theater, New Tork. The scene of the ore crushing mill in "The Fire ratiol," it is claimed, is a wonderful ad dition to icalism in the melodrama. Gracie Emmet will shortly appear here in a new comedy drama entitled "The Pulse of New Tork." It is said to be very sensational. Boikie Kate Castletos; accompanied by a clever company of comedians, will play a rutnrn at the Bijou in "The Darzler," fol lowing "The Clemencau Case." E. J. McPhelik, the brilliant dramatio critic of the Chicago Tribune, goes to New Tork soon to locate, and It Is probable that Harry B. Smith will do likewise. The "County Fair" is the next attraction at the Grand Opera House. It will be pro duced by the same company as seen here before this season. The theater-goers will not forget the great race scene. Orvtlle M. Kemiuqtox will take De Lang and Rising to the Pacific coast this summer presenting "Tangled Up." They also have a new comedy in pieparation which they are going to produce In San Francisco. James W. Haekiss, Jr., in addition to "The Midnight Alarm" and "The Fire Patrol," has Just completed a naval drama entitled "The White Squadron," which Is to be put on for a run in New Tork next sea son by A, T. Pearson. Julia Marlowe -n ill make her first appear ance in Pittsburg May SO, at the Grand Opera IIouso, In the following repertoire: "As Ton Like It," "Ingomar," "Much Ado About Nothing," "Borneo and Juliet," "Cym beline" and "Twelfth Night." Marie Tempest sails May 12 for a vacation in London and Paris. Her costumes in Smith and De Koven's opera, "The Fencing Master," in whloh she will star in the fall under J. M. Hill's management, aie of ex ceptional magnificence. They have been designed by Captain Alfred Thompson, and will be executed in Paris. As the day approaches the benefit of Colonel Sam Dawson Is taking on mighty proportions, and it looks as if the Bijou Theater would be packed In unprecedented stjle on Monday night, MayS8. The Colonel has a good deal of drangnt himself, and the new piece, "Tangled Op," seems to be at tracting a good deal of attontlon elsewhere. East and West money has been "easy" this season. The Danks are clogged with It. It is so cheap that investors find it difficult to put out their funds profitably vide the bank reports. And yet managers report the worst season known in years, says the Dro viatic Mirror. It is not due to hard times. Is it not due to the great, forbidding mass of silly rubbish with which the stage has been UtteredT Emma Jcch outlines her plans as follows! From my piesent engagement I shall go to my home at Stamford, Conn., which I took last summer. In September I shall cross to Europe to sing. I cannot say anything definite about the engagement, for the nego tiations are yet pending. I shall sing in English In England, in French In France, In German in Germany and In Italian in Italy. I ti 111 not return for yeais." Miss V. Chitted, one of the victims of the Central Theater aisaster at Philadelphia, was a young woman of exceptional talent. She was a born danseuse, and thoroughly competent as a ballet mistress. She re hearsed the ballets for tho pantomime of "Cinderella" at tho Academy of Mnslo, and was under engagement to Eugene Tomklns to design and superintend the ballets for "The Black Crook" at the Boston Theater next season. Sir Arthur Sullivait had a relapse In the early pan of last week, and is undoubtedly in a very serious state of health, although the Latest reports are more favorable. His sickness Is watched by all classes or the community with sympathetic anxiety. It is hardly necessary to say that the delay in the completion or the Sullivan-Grundy opera is a very serious matter lor D'Oyly Carte, although "The Vicar of Bray" Las picked up t onderf ully. The London County Council are at it again. They are now attempting to define what Is sacred music. In future, on Good Fridays or Sundays, In halls where ooncerts are per mitted, nothing but strictly sacred mnslo will bo allotted. But the Salvation Army may perambulate the streets yelling blas phemous words to the tuno oc "Ta-ra-ra," and the band or the Coldstream Guards can u.arch to their bai racks from churon to the strains or "Two Lovely Black Eyes." Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-at Is now delighting Parisian audiences. It Is sung by Mile. Vio lette at the Empire. Hero is the way the first verse runs in the revised version: Voj-ezlcllstlmlde! De tout courage elle est vldel Tellmentcralntlveet heureuse, Trouvez-vous qa'elle eitheureuse! Kile est toujour! si prudentc jua ce moment on ille chantc, tile auralt envte de pleurer, 81 elle n'alUlt pas damer. Ta-ra ra, etc. A PmsEtxasR who saw Lulu Glasser, the young Alleghenian who has taken Marie Jansen's place in Francis Wilson's com pany, says that the younK lady lias already assumed the lmpoi tance and style of a first class 6t.ir, and that she is overwhelmed n 1th the attentions or the Mew Tork swells. .Her mother Is with her, and trill travel with, her a California, The nttsburger also states that Miss Glasser has a beautiful voice, and acts with a vivacity and assuranoe wonder ful In a beginner. Maitaoer Hexdersox says that the Du quesne Theater, which closed for the pres ent season Saturday night, will remain closed until about tho 1st or September. He believes In closing early and opening lata. The theatrical season proper ends about the 1st orMay.and people who patronize amuse ments do not caie to see the inside of a tho ter again until the "leaves begin to turn." His new spectacular production will be seen In Pittsburg next season for threo weeks, and lie promises it will even exceed In splendor and beauty Its illustrious prede cessor, "Sinbad." Contrary to expectation, Mr. Hopper and his clever associates in "Wang" will not form one of the attractions during the sum mer season in the metropolis; for at the close of bis Broadway Theater engagement, the big comedian, accompanied by Ben Stevens and John W. McKinney, his mana gers, will visit Europe, and make an ex tended tour of Great Britain and the Conti nent, retutfting to this country in ample time to be present at the opening rehearsals of his new opera, which Is now being written and composed by J. Cheever Goodwin and Woolson Morse. THOSE GREAT 810 SUITS. Too Have a Chance to 'Buy One on Monday or Tuesday Quoted by .Everyone as the Best Men's Suits In the World P. C C.
