All but tUe above theaters are novr closed
for the summer.
The theatrical season of 1S9I-92 closetl lst
night. In ritsburg It has been a fairly
prosperous one, far more so, in fact, than In
the country atlarj-e. Thesloomv anticipa
tion that all the Pittsbunr theaters would
couie to bankruptcy because of the building
of two new theaters in succession has not
been fulfilled. If all the theaters have not
made money, at least none of them has lost
Tery much. It is still profitable to run a
theater lu Pittsburjr, and the prospect is
that under fairly favorable circumstances
all the theaters next season will make
money. Ifyou ask an individual manager
here how lie prospered la-t sea-cm,
probably he will tell yon that while
he fattened Ills bank account, his
brethren had a very hard time. The
man asers here are Just as human as they
are elsewheie, and if vou want to get an
idea of how Pitt-buix's theaters nro doinjf
you i;d etrer go away irom nome. mere
aie not so many minors of chanses In the
air as usual The nio-.t important theatrical
improvements to be mid" seem to be those
contemplated' at the Bijou Theater, the
auditorium of which is to be repainted in
white and sold, an entire new stacre to be
built, and new scenery with a special drop
curtain, painted by Sosman & Landis, the
noted Chicago firm who painted tho Alvin'
scenery. Mr. Gulick told me the other dav
that It had been decido definitely not to
attempt to lower the house to the ground
for next season, or any other season.
"Peqple like the house as it stands well
enough," he said, "and we think it best to
put our money into improvements of the
bouse as it stands, rather than effect such a
radical chance as lowering it to the ground
wonM be." This reallv seems good policy
on the part of Gulick & Co., for the pros
perity orthe BIlou continues to oe a source
of wonder and envy to managers every
where. Manager Wilt still has two years more
leae of the Grand Opera House, and he in
tends to chamro the character ot the attrac
tions to be played there, so that the house
will exclusively compete with the Bijou.
This it has done to sprae extent during the
past season, but it is Mr. Wilt's intention to
adont the &ame scile or prices as rules nt
the Bijon, and secure a line of melodramas,
farcer and spectacular pieces, such as tho
Bijou lias almoit monopolized for the pist
two or thiee seasons. What the outcome of
this policy will be is mainlv Mr. Wilt's con
cern, but it i interesting to theater-goers to
know that tho lour principal theaters of
rittshurg havo finally paired otf, the Alvin
and Duquesne taking the best class of
attractions at hisli prices, while the Bijou
and the Grand Opera House will fisht lor
plays, and with pr ces that are popular. One
thing is certain, that for the present Pitts
burg has her full complement of theaters,
and the lunatics who are talkingabout turn
ing the "Id postoffice into a theater, and who
go about building places of amusement
cbteflv in their minds, had lie'ter repent of
their madness before it involves money.
The building or the Alvin Theater de
serves to mark the be inmn'ofa new era of
theatricals in Pittsburg. The Tame of that
beautiful house has xpread by this time all
over the world. For once actors and mana
gers do ntt appear to have exaggerated
when they uave dec ared, as they have wl'h
one voice, tiij-t Mr. D.ivis has given Arrerica
a theater the like of which has never 'jeloro
been ecen. mt. Davis ays that he is well
satisfied with the results of his first season,
and 1 am sure that the people of Pittsburg
hope that next season will prove even
better. A list of its attractions for next
season would show that he has a right to
claim that tho Alvin Theater will be well to
the front next season.
As hasalieadv been stated In this column
Mr. Henderson is perfectly satisfied with the
business the Duqnesno Theater has done
since last Sentemiicr. I know no reason why
he should not do better in a financial way
next year, for e now holds that theater
upon easier term- than those first included iu
bis le.i-e. Mr. Henderson also has no leason
to be dissatisfied with the programme he
has outlined already In The Disimtch lor
next season.
The new honso which Harry Williams
talked about building some years ago is still
unbuilt, and, as far as I know, the Academy
of Music will stay were it is, and continue to
be almost as good as a gold mine to Its
manager for some years yet. If I were to
take unon me the riskv lole of prophet, I
should be inclined to say that the next new
theater to be built in these parts will be
located on the north side of the Allegheny
river. With 110,030 people on that side, who
would naturally prefer a theater near their
homes, it is really rem irkahle that no man
ager has plucked up courage to build a
theater long before tins.
The bnsmess done by the museums in both
cities during the paU f cason has been satis
factory to their tespective managers, bnt It
is certain in their case also that there are
quite enough of them at present.
Larirely as a result of tne increased com
petition among tho theaters here, the qual
ity of the attractions during the past season
has been raised considerably. In only one
regard hero have they seriously fallen off; 1
refer to the Shakespearian drama. Owing
to the death of Lawrence Barrett and the
subsequent retirement of Edwin Booth,
thee was really no first-class presentation
oi Shakespearian tragedy daring the past
season. It has Deen reported in some Phila
delphia papers, though upon what authority
jiuunuy Btjcma hi kutiw, mat jox. liootu con
templated a letnrn to the stage next fall. It
was said that his intention was to play a
short engagement in New York, Philadel
phia. Baltimoie and possibly Boston, pre
fcenting a repertoire of Shakespearian plays
and a lew other legitimate dramas in which
be lias appeared before. This is now denied
authoritatively.
Three or four months ago I saw Mr. Booth
at the Players Clnb in Kew Tork, where he
spends most ot his time these days; ho was
standing berore a fire in the writing room,
immediately beneath his portrait by Sar
gent. The picture of the tragedian in the
rugged strength of ten years ago, when his
form was erect and the luster or his eye un
dimmed, made the physical decrepitude of
the orginal who stood beneath It painfully
apparent. Ir I am any Judae of a man's
health I should think that Mr. Booth would
never walk the stage again. I said as mnoh
to Mr. Levy, who maniged Marcaret Mather
this year, when he told me some time since
that he had hopes of taking out Mr. Booth
again next season, and Mr. Levy, who It
will bo remembered was Intimately asso
ciated with Lawrence Barrett and Mr. Booth
In their last tours, replied that one could
never tell how fit Mr. Booth was for acting
by his appearance otf tho stage. Mr. Levy
says that he has oiten known Mr. Booth in
late years to have appeared to be too weak
to walk upon the stae, and yet when once
In the magic glare of the footlights ha
seemed to acquire new vigor and act with
the fire and Ireshness or youth. In short,
Mr. Levy expressed the belief that Mr.
Booth would once more delight the eyes of
uis million aamirers upon tne stage.
weak. Miss Marlowe promises to be able to
revive the popularity ot Shakespearian
comedies If tho large audiences 'e drew at
a most unpromising time or tht. arher
are any oriterlon. Miss Marie W uwrlght
seems to have abandoned SnaK-speare,
though whyit fsnot very easy to see. for her
recent venture with "Aiay Kobsart" cannot
have been very profitable.
It is hinted that possibly Mr. Willard will
give us a touch of his Shakesperlan quality,
and the grand scenlo production ot Henry
VIII. promised by Modjeska must not bo
forgotten. In 1833 Beerbohm Tree is likely
to visit this oountry and show us tho Samlet
which English critics have declared to be
the finest seen forBOyears. There are several
smaller fry who are talking about more or
less maltreating the immortal bard. It
would have been pleasant to record the pos
sibility ot Miss Minnie Seligman's appear
ance as a Shakespearian ktar, bnt her new
contract with Manager Sanger would appear
to restrict her to the modern drama, and it
is stated that she will go out next season in
a play called "My jfflclal Wife."
The decadence of farce oomedy has been
coincident with tho rise of the pure farce, ot
which "Jane" is asgood a type as any we've
seen lately. There will be many more plays
or the "Jane" style next season no doubt,
for they pay well. I notice that Charles
Fi-ohman has commissioned George K. Sims
and his co-author in "The Gray Mare" to
write a now character farce like "Jane" lor
Miss Johnstone Bennett, who made that
domestic heroine so humorous. Nat Good
win is going to appear next season In a
laushablo larce ot the same sort called
"Walker," In which the great English
comedian Toole has been convulsing Lon
don. Boland Reed writes me that he 1" look
ing for a new farcical comedy, and somobody
hinted the other dav that charming mtie
Jane Stuart, of the PIton stock company. Is
soon to be starred in a role such as the pub
lio has learned to like her so much in. The
disappearance of freaks from the field of
larce is good ground for giving thanks.
There were some things in the season Just
closed the absence of which next season wo
shall regret. Sam Bernhardt looms up mag
nificent and nnsurpassaule In certain roles
and she will not be seen here for many moons,
if at all again, for Sara says we didn't appre
ciate her properly. Over in London I notice
people and the press are railing at her
meager scenic display and lack of proper
stase management in "Cleopatra." in which
she began her season there. Did her mana
gers have the audacity to try to palm off
upon metropolitan -critics those awfully
ringed rascals with dirty towels about their
necks and dish-covers on their arms as So
man Locgionaries, I wonderf But if "Cleo
patra" as Bernhardt presented it lacked the
scenery and costumes that alone make it
worth seeimr, when shall we behold such a
superb piece nt acting as the death scene in
"Uamillet" We shall miss Bornhardt.
The Pitou Stock Company is now but
a memory, Its members scattered, the
proud plans designed for it brought to
naught. Xo manager is likely to repeat Mr.
Pitou's almost tragic experiment. The only
consolation is that the performance of such
a company as Pitou's raises the standard of
popular taste, and compels other managers
to cater to that taste, and there are signs of
improvement In the constitution of most
of the traveling companies. Good acting is
appreciated by thousands now where there
were hundreds a decade ago, andgood actors
are multiplying, I believe, in response to
the demand. The Kendals were another
powerful agent for good during the past
season, and it is not welcome news that they
will not come back to these shores for a
twelvemonth at least. All theater-goers
have missed that loveable man excellent
actor William Florence, and we shall miss
him more as time goes on and no one arrives
to fill his place. One result of Florence's
death is Joseph Jefferson's determination
to revive next season "Bip Van Winkle."
Tho-e who Mir Jefferson and Florence In
"The Bivals" and "The Hcir-at-Law" will
be glad that no further attempt is to be
made to secure a successor to the dead
comedian.
sec to with Jim Murray.or Boston. There li
already a very large advance sale and the
capacity of the house will be tested daring
the engagement.
Majtaoir Edward Kxraur, of the World's
Museum-Theater, said yestorday: "The sea
son of 1891-62 just olosed has been a very sat
isfactory one ror us; the early part of the sea
son was not as good as that or last season,
hut after the first two months business took
a boom, and every week since has been far
ahead of the same week last season. The
banner weeks or the season, and In fact since
the house opened, were the weeks of Janu
ary U, IS and S3, when we exhibited the two
neaded boy. The season of 1893-93 will open
August IS, and in the meantime we will
decorate the Interior of tho curio hall and
theater in a handsome and substantial man
ner, so that our patrons will, when the doors
are thrown open to them, be agreeably sur
prised at the transformation."
This ought to be a big week at Harry
Davis' Fifth Avenue Museum-Theater. The
warm weather of last week did not tend to
decrease the attendance at this bouse, and it
is not likely to do so, as long as Manager
Davis continues the engagement of the
county circus ana wild west show. The
second week of tho present "rnn" com
mences to-morrow with an entire change of
programme, from the department of natural
freaks to the exhibition of the wild and
wonlv West. Everv thing oonnected with
the show will bo new and while it is true
that several of the best nerformors of last
week have been retained it Is also a fact
t.hnt rrinstnr those who will entertain the
patrons of the Filth avenue this week, have
never before been seen in this city. There
will be acrobats, gymnasts, wire walkers,
rope dancers, equilibrists, equestrians and
an array of funny clowns that have no equal
In the sawdust ring.
The grand promenade concerts that have
been so popular In New Tork and other
Eastern cities are to be inaugurated in Pitts
burg, or rather in Alleghany, next Friday
evening, at the Cyclorama Auditorium, lo
cated at Beech street and Irwin avenue.
They will be given by the Great Western
Millltary Band angnmented to 10 lnstru.
mentnllsts. From 8 to 10 o'clockin the even
ing a concert programme will be rendered,
introducing some popular music From 10
o'clock until 12 there will be a choiee pro
gramme, and those holdins invitations can
indulge in a hop. Cyclorama Auditorium
has been fitted for the occasion and a large
exhaust fan has been nlaced in it, and it is
said the temperature can always be kept
down to 60". Another important feature is
t.ie fact that Cyolorama Park will be opened
for the first tiino Friday evening in conjunc
tion with the concert. It Joins the building
and can be reached by j everal very large
exits. The park abounds in pagodas, rustle
settees, fountains or water, flower gardens
nr.d more that tends to make it attractive.
Visitors will find it a pleasant place to stroll
or take a seat and enjoy refreshments, which
are to be supplied by a well-known caterer.
These concerts are to bo every Friday and
Monaay evening until further notice. There
will be semi-invitation affairs, and while the
price or admission Is low, the crowds will
not be indiscriminate.

-H'OR-
The outlook for comic opera is brighter
than lor anything else, that is to say, Iran
infinite number of wo-Kers and a great
variety of performers may be said to prom,
ise cheerful results. I will not attempt to
mention tho comic operas we are likely to
see next season in order of merit. There
will be DIgby Bell in "Jupiter," which is now
enjoying a successful run at Palmer's
Theater, Kew Toik. Do Wolf Hopper's new
piece will be produced in August. Its name
lias not been levealcd, and, by the way,
there is a tumor that little Delia Fox is eo
iiic to desert the big comedian and pose as a
great bin star herself. The Bostonlans, who
have made an immense hit in "Robin Hood,"
hope to 'luplicato it in a now work by tho
Hijiie authors, namely, De Eoven and Smith,
ilnrio Tempest, the best comic opeia artist,
in my Ju lament, now upon the American
stage, will also put all her egzs in a basket
woven by De Eoven and Smith, aud entitled,
"The Fencing Master."
Lillian Knssell, after a long rest this sum
mer, will appear once more in New Yoik in
Cellier & Gilbert's "The Mountebanks,"
which is ald to be almost equal to the work
which Mr. Gilbert has turned out in col
laboration with Sullivan. Another comedian
is bidding for stellar honors in comio opera,
Thomas Q. Seahrooke, who has apparently
launched a successful opera In "The Isle
Champagne," which Chicago has beenlaugli
ing at for two weeks.
This doesn't complete the number of new
comic operas, last week "The Bobber ot
the Ehlne," Maurice Barrymore's long-talked-of
effort, made a flat failure at the
beautiful new Fifth Avenue Theater in New
York. Probably it will be buried there. The
fate of anoiher new work, "King Kallko," to
be produced in New Yoik in a few days, is
also uncertain. Francis Wilson has not yet
announced what he Intends to use next
season, but he relies upon a new
opera to take the place of The Lion
Tamer," which he doesn't seem to think
strong enough to try upon the load, though
New York went to see it for nearly a year.
Thentheieisa New York Casino produc
tion and at least a dozen lesser affairs more
or less deserving or the title comio opera.
Owing to the remarkable success of two or
three comic operas last season the market
is being flooded with them, and the lesnlt is
likely to be just what befel two-thirds of the
farce comedies that started out last season
in the hope that the publlo would accept
anything that bore a slangy name and
promised variety business, horse play and
no plot.
Taking it all In all, In spite of the imperti
nent Interference of the. Fresldental elec
tions the season of 1S92 93 onght to be quite
as satisfactory as that lor which the bells
are now tollin g. Hueukn Jobks.
If Mr. Booth does not appear next season
the outlook for Shakespeare is still a little
brighter than it has been durinj the past
jcar. Messrs. Fred Warde and Louis James,
who have formed partnership, intend to in
clude "Julius Caesar" and "Othello" in their
repertoire Next season they will play "The
Lion's Mouth" and Carleton's new classical
drama, "Jiemnon," in addition o the above
fchakcipearian Honors. Charles B. Han ford,
nc.o wih beiemembered as the brilliant
Marc Antony in the lumous Booth and Bar.
rctcpioductinn of "Julius Caesar," intends
to star iu that sl.owy role next season. It Is
probable that Minna Gale will not allow her
nppiojchiiii; marriage to interfere with her
pursuit 01 bliake.pearian honors next sea
son, mid we expect her yet to J iiKtify tho
prediction niado by Tux Dispatch two
years iigo that she would prove to be tho
bet Juliet of this generation. It is
said that her experiment as n Shakespearian
star lait season cot hor backers $20,000, anil,
by the wnj, 1101:0 of tint money was wasted
011 1'ittsliurg. Sue will appear here next
ason, though, I havo no doubt. Tom
Ke"nc will continue, I suppose, as a Shake
pcarian star,and Julia M.nrlowe undoubtedly
will also it her health or her managementdo
not break down, and both seem to be a little
Stain Whispers.
Edwaed Ktesas, Manager of the World's
Museum Theater, is going to spend a good
slice of the summer In Europe, while Mr.
Connor will pay a short visli to Mr. Frank
Uttner at his villa, "South Beach," Long
Island, and then repair to his farm near
Chillicotbe, O.
"Att Baba," Manager Henderson's new
spectacle, has apparently caught Chicago.
The big hits were made by the scenery, es
pecially the Bagdad City scene, the en
chanted foiest, and the cave ot the Forty
Thieves. The jewel ballet and the trans
formation scene were also greatly admired.
As an evidence that the memory of "Alvin
Joslyn" is still loved, Mr. Davis has re
ceived requests from all over the country
asking that he appear once again in the role.
On account ot this pressure, he has con
sented to make a brief tour in "Alvin
Joslyn" next season. It will extend over
about IS weeks, taking in only the principal
theaters in the leading cities or the oountry.
Hxbx are some of the attractions hooked
for next season at the Alvin: "Mr. Wilkin
son's Widows," "Jane," "Gloriana," "The
Lost Paradise," ana all of Mr. Charles Froh
