The above are the theatrical attractions
for this week.
The Season's Opening.
All the theaters trill be open to-morrow
and the season of 1S9M will be in full blast.
The Duquesne and the Alvin -will be thelast
to open Its doors. At the Alvin nothing
more than cleaning was needed to make the
beautiful theater ready for its second sea
son, but while the publio may not notice
much that is new a rood bit of work has
been done behind the scenes. Additions
have been made to the stock of scenery,
Mr. Davis has bought a number of new
pictures which will be hung in the front of
the house, and the apparatus for fighting
flro behind the lootlbshts has been ref
lected. Mr. Davis himself, since hit return
lust week from the Green Mountains of
Vermont, has been busying himself with all
the various little matters about which the
publio knew nothin?, but which have to he
attended to before a theater is ready for
business. I found Mr. Davis in the middle
of the stace the other day. He was seeing
that the floors were really scrubbed, and
that the tae carpenters and other hands
Jierspired properly. The woikof snpervis
ne kept hira warm also, and he remarked
as ho morjped his face, w hich, by the way, is
smooth shaven once more: "I im confident
that the people v. ho come to the Alvin this
season will admit that our line or attrac
tions is the best to be obtained. Why I have
even arranged to gi e Pittsburger a glimpse
ol myself iu "Alvin Joslyn."
The A.vin Theater.
On Monday, September 5, the Alvin will
open its season with "The Charity Ball."
This charming play will be interpreted by a
metropolitan cast of such coaotent actois
as Manager Daniel Frohnian never fails to
send. The "Charity Ba.l" has been seen here
before, to a detai'ed account of the story is
needles. Iiiectived its fust production at
the New York Ltceuin in the lall of 1S-9 and
ran there tor marly a ear when it was sent
on '-he road, and lias since then achieved as
great a success as in the metropolis It is a
story Iu 1 ol pathos yet brightened by spark
ling scenes of comedy. The "Charity Ball"
was wiitten by Messrs. David Belasco and
H. C. DeMille, and is a four-act society drama
ot New Voile lire at the present time. David
Belasco is a clever stage manager and
ud-inter, knowing the stage in everv aspect,
and with a keen eye to every dramatic scene.
His partner, Henry C I'cMIlle, a man of
seho'arly attainments, and coming from a
literarv family T.ie coinpaiiv has been
carefully relit arsed in New York at the
.Lyceum and Manager Fi oilman has given
his pergonal attention to all the details with
a view to giving a performance identical in
all respects with the original Seir 1'ork
pioduction.
This may be the last time for some sea
sons at least that "The Chanty Ball' will.be
teen, since Mr. Frohman's new plays are
crowding his resources so rapidly each jear
that some or the old ones must, perforce, be
shelved. New and handsome ecenfery has
been preparod and is carried by tue com
pany, and this, together with rich costumes,
will add to the effectiveness of thejproduo
tion. The principal actors enjasia in the
T-epU"Ciittl6il are Messrs. Artunr Elliot,
Liuopln A Uasenhols, Horner Hranville,
11. A. She'don. Fred Conger, A. W. Gregory
and the Misses Frances Drake, Blanche
Weaver, Ethel Gcybrooke, Jean Coye and
I.llza Leogan. Matinees will be given on
Wednesday and Satuiday. "The Wife" will
be given during the latter part of the week,
and due announcement will be made of its
product. 0:1.
Miss ellgxnan and Matrimony.
One of the little points about which Miss
Minnie Seilgman was very positive when I
talked with her last spring was that matri
mony was an obstacle in the path of an am
bitious actress. It is to be hoped that the
beit jouns actiess on the American stage
will not leimit any such Httlo thing as a
marriage 10 a spnj of Gotham aristocracy
Interfeie with her ambitions or perform
ances. The latest report is that Manager
Itusell wants Miss Seligman's husband to
take a paK in his new farcical comedy, "A
Fashionable Tad" or something of the sort.
If Mr. Cuttli.g accepts this offer.leaving Miss
teligman to star alone in Sanger's "My Of
ficial ire." the pi o.lem of getting rid of
niati imouial obstacles will have been solved
lor once, it would seem.
The Buqumne Theater.
The Shakespearean actors of of high rank
are getting very scarce, and now that Mr.
Booth has retired Mr.Eeene is almost alone.
In this critical city, where the amusement
going public have a peculiar mode of being
their own Judges as to what they like ana
v hat they don't llke.lt Is significant as a
iact, as well as complimentary to tbo taste
of Pittsbursers that it was one of the first
of the larercities to welcome Mr. Thos. W.
Eeene as one of the great actors of modern
time-. Bach succeeding year has his popu
larity grown stronger. It was a wise move
on the pal t of the managers of the Duquesne
Theater to select Mr. Eeene for the opening
attraction of tho season, commencing Mon
day night next. During the engagement
the following standard plays, the most
brilliant or Mr. Kcene's repertoire, will be
presented: "Richard III." "Kichelieu,"
"liamlet," "Louis XI," "Othello," "The
Merchant of Venice." In the character or
Mcluird I1L. it is now conceded that he has
hardly a peer on the English speaking stage.
In his portrayal we have all the violent
changes of the moods and passions of the
lmmp-backed tyrant forcibly impersonated.
He enters thoroughly into the spirit of his
scenes; he abhors himself for the malform
ations tnat nature has cursed him with and
gives way to a whirlwind of passionate in
vecth c, malignantly resolving to make his
mind as distorted as his body. The merit of
his Richard, lies in the strength of passion.
Ills soliloquios are finely given, his stormy
scenes glem with force and energy and his
simulated iovo for Lady Anne breathes the
warmth of pasion and desire, lie isnot
urally changeful and never seems to lack in
the finer sh-idln? or the part. As a whole,
the performance is generally strong.
Gr.mil Opera House.
An "original extravaganza" is something
new in Pittsburg, but that is what Manager
Wilt offers his patious this week in the in
itial production 111 this city of "Telephonia,"

IVomrn Tl III Apprrclata It.
Many a woman rigged out regardless of
expense has repented or exposing her finery
to the drippings of several umbrellas in the
brief bat dangerous Journey from Jier car
riage to the theater door, and the need of a
portico to protect even those who walk, as
well as those who ride In chaises, for every-
one hn to wait a moment or two occasion
ally outside the theater, hat been recognized
by the Duquesno theater management. A
handome wooden portico is now nearly
cnmplotcd, and all tho entrances to the
Duquosne on Penn avenue will be protected
by it. Manager McCullough is plainly grow
ing thin dodging paint brushes and ladders,
but he choertully admits that the Duquesne
will be strictly in tho swim when the game
begins.
Harry "Williams' .Academy.
The Weber and Fields Own Specialty
Comtiany aro to bold the boards of this
popular house this week. A special matinee
will bo given on Monday, Labor Day. There
is plenty ot variety in tho performance
given by this company. Among other peo
plo of ability in its ranks are thoBraatz
brothers, who are wonderful aciobats;
Drnmmond and Staley, tho musical black
smiths: Maud Huth, who can sing a negro
song with any plantation darkev; Johnny
Carroll, Marion and Post, James K. Adams,
Whiting and Shepherd, and last, but by no
means least, the unrivaled German come
dians, Weber and Fields. A Hvelv and
laughable iarce called "Music Mad" will
wind up the show.
Thn IliJoti Theat-r.
It was Elmer Vance's good fortune to hit
upon a novel sensational effect around
which he built his play entitled "The Lim
ited Mail." Bail! on d dramas are not a new
thing by any means; indeed they antedate
the tank drama, but Mr. Vance's play
brought in a new element which his experi
ence as a telegraph operator enabled him to
exploit with remarkable ingenuity. "Tho
Limited Mail" was presented here last
season, and so many people saw it that it is
unnecessary to givea detailed description of
tho play.
Harris' Theater.
' One of Bartley Campbell's stirring dramas
comes to this theater this week. It is some
time since "A Heroine in Bags" was given
here, and it is stated that under its present
management It will be better produced than
ever. Eatberine Bober will take the he
roine's role, and as she is an actress of abil
ity and experience it may be expected tbat
the performance will be more than satisfac
tory. The play offers some large opportuni
ties tor realistic scenery, and the snow-storm
and a citv fire will be reprodnced, it is siid,
with startling realism. The costume' being
of tho time of Louis XVIII. will be ex
tremelv gorgeous in color. As an additional
attraction La Regnloncita. the child actions,
who did such a romrrkable dance heie with
"The Piodlgal Father," will again show
what wonders she can do with her littlo
feet.
Mr. Henderson on Deck.
Manager David Henderson is in town. He
will stay here until his theater is launched
on the season of '83-3. He is looking well,
and a diet of an unadulterated success
ssems to agree with him: singular to say,
tho swelling of his pocketbook being en
tirely unaccompanied, as it so often is, by
an enlargement of the head. In course of
conversation with him yesterday Mr. Hen
derson said: "It is my intention to main
tain the Dnquesne's high standing as a first-
class theater, and people can Judge for
themselves whether the attractions booked
for the coming season at the Duquesne are
about us good as thev could possibly do.
'Sinbad' and 'All Baba' are, of course, keep
ing me pretty busy these days, and I am
happy to say that the former in New York
and the latter in Chicago are both meeting
with all the success I could desire. From
now on till the opening or tho World's Fair
I shall be preparing for the run of three two
spectacles and a new version or t'io 'Crystal
Slipper, which will occur at mj opera house
in Chicago next summer."
Thi World's Slaseura Thmter.
One of tho funniest trained animal shows
that has ever been seen in this city is given
at this house by Senorita Gilletta's perform
ing monkeys. These little long-lost cousins
or ours seem to be natural comedians, and
people have roared at them for hours during
tho last wee. They ride bicycle races, pnt
on the gloves, and funniest of all shave each
other with wonderful mimicry or real bar
bers Manager Keen.m said eterday that
he never tired of seeing the monkeys go
tlroush their performance, and many others
like him have laughed till their sides ached.
Another natural wonder is promised for
this week in the shape of a horse named
Mahomet, who can understand six different
languages, perform all sorts of mathemati
cal problems, tell you how old you are and
do many other wonderful things. The per
forming goats trained by Frof. Matthews
and Signor Costillon's great troup of tropi
cal and oriental birds will also continue to
astonisb the audience with their intelli
gence. In the theater a first rate vanetv
Serformance will he given by the original
ottonian Specialty Company. AH in all it
will be a remarkably varied and amusing
entertainment, and the admission fee of 10
cents covers it nil. The museum will be
open at 10 o'clock on Monday morning in
honor ol Labor Day.
Davis' Eden Muise.
Harry Davis' Eden Musee will open to
morrow (Labor Day) at 10 o'clock A. M.
After'considerable difficulty Mr. Davis has
succeeded in securing for Labor Day and the
remainder or next week Miss Virginia
Knapp, the marvelous mlndreader and man
tfestorof psjchlc force. Without any dif
ficulty she pushes at her will the strongest
man. Holdiug a billiard cue by one end in
her right hand she defies the efforts ol the
strongest to touch the floor with the other
end, notwithstanding that it is hardly six
inches above it. Tbero is nothing that can
be concealed that she cannot find. Barnello
and Martell, the oriental wonder workers,
will also be on exhibition. Texas Ben and
Texas Annie, direct from the p ains of the
Lone Star State, with their original log cabin
and thousands of curiosities of ranch life.
In the theater Halmes and Waldron will be
seen in a refined musical act. Sheridan and
Wright will make everybody laugh, so will
Fred Baman, Raymond and Murphy and
Adelin h'ewman.
roretin-h'i Circus.
Tho Boston Tramaript says of this famous
circus which comes here September 12 and
IS: "The three rings and two stages are the
centers or bewildering exploits of expert
Jugglers, acrobats, dancers, trapeze per
formers, athletes and the many and varied
attractions of this wonderful show. The
races, of course, arouse great enthusiasm, as
do the clever tricks of the performing dogs,
elephants, horses and other animals. The
performers of the Valdis sisters. Miss Ash
ton and other professionals have never been
surpassed, and they alone are sufficient to
draw crowds. The great spectacle of "The
Fall of Nineveh," which is now the onening
attraction of the long and varied pro
gramme, is another special feature and is an
entertainment in itseir, with It) scenic ef
fects, gorgeous costumes, graceful dancing
and fine musical accompaniments."
One of Chicago's Big Flans.
Mr. Henderson thlncs that one of the
most wonderful things in or out of the
World's Fair next ye ir in Chicago will be
the gigantic spectacular panorama planned
by Steele Mackaye, which will be a pic
torial history of America, as well as of its
discoverer, Columbus, since the day be set
sail from Palos. The dimensions of tho
building in which this unique show is to be
given are immense. Think of an auditorium
500 feet long by i00 feet wide; think of a stage
large enough to show the ocean rolling upon
the Spanish coast with shiA at anchor of
the actual size used by Columbus! Every
thing about the lepiesentatlous will bo real;
fiere will not only bo water for the ocean,
but the various moods of the sea in calm and
storm will be shown, and the wind will rise
and fill tbo sails ot the ship", and thoy will
sail away till by some ingenious contrivance
they will scorn to disappear below the hori
zon. Steel Mackaye has put all his genius
Into the machinery, and wonnerful as It Is it
will not surprise people who know Maokaye
as much as the fact that he has alroady
touched some of the richest men in Chicago
for about $SO0,CO0. Such men as George Full
man and the Armours are heavily interested
in thn enterprise, and from all appearances
Mr. Hcndcisou thluks it is bound to suc
ceed. HeI'ECEN JOllNS.

One of the New York papers speaking of
Eatie Emmett's new drama, "Eillainev,"says:
"While retaining some of the con eutional
f atures of the Irish drama, Eillainey has
dispensed with many of them, and lost
nothing by so doing. It contains no wicked
British landlord or scheming agent, and the
only offlcor in the caste is not proven a vil
lain. Joseph Hart will play a strict comedy
part in the new comedy play, "The Idea,"
which Hallen and Hart bring forwaid this
season. Mr. Hallen's role is that of an ultra

Ernest Koeber, who wrestles with Will
iam Muldoon, is the great man's pupil, and
learned all he knows of tho art from Mul
doon. It is this fact that makes the bout
between Muldoon and Roeber interesting
despite the overtopping proportions 01 tho
former. Piobably Muidoon by main
strength could easily huil Koeber into the
middle of the parquet, but tho smaller man
can give Muldoon an immense lot of trouble
because he knows all his gigantic opponents
tricks.

EARLY
BUYERS!
We will get warm days yet no doubt
about that. But then September is the
month of CHILLY MORNINGS and COOL
EVENINGS, and there may be days when
protection from fresh breezes will be neces
sary. It's the month when the maiden's,
the mother's and' the child's fancy turns to
thoughts of FALL GARMENTS.
We are well prepared even thus early
to serve you all with a nice, clean, stylish
and new stock of SUITS, JACKETS, REEF
ERS, WRAPS, CLOTH and FUR CAPES
in all the novel ways of make-up for the
season.
There are advantages to be gained by
buying early. Goods in stock used are made
up during a season when the makers are
not rushed, and then fine garments are put
together with care, finished to perfection and
no fault can be found since we examine
early arrivals critically and reject any that
cannot pass muster.
Prices are low enough, -too, because it
would be folly to start tne season with big
profits, which can only insure big losses
later. In a word, if you think of buying
soon, or if this little talk puts your thoughts
in that direction, be sure to SEE OUR
STYLES and look at the novelties for. the
season. We will only be too glad to spread
before you our stock, give our prices and
make you feel not only at home in our stores,
but a customer well satisfied at all times.
