'THE ' PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25 3892.
'f
It is an odd coincidence that Pittsburg in
two successive weeks should witness the
change of base ot two of the best known
people on the American stage. Last week
we saw Henry E. Dixey floppins back from
comedy to light opera, and this week we
have Marion Manola doing just the op
posite. "The Army Snrgeon" opened the per
formance at the Duquesne last night. It
deals with an incident of the war; a young
widow receives her fiancee, a Confederate
soldier, within the Union lines, and issur
prised by the appearance of her old friend,
a federal Colonel, who brings her a turkey
lor the Christinas dinuer. By ieigning
fright the widow gets possession of the
Colonel's reolcr, from which the cart
ridges are removed, however, and keeps
Jiim at bay while the Surgeon escapes.
"Why the Colonel, knowing that the
revolver was not loaded, without
the slightest pang of conscience, should
allow the surgeon to escape, is not just in
accord with the probabilities or war tales
in which dutv always reizns supreme and
lo e takes a back seat. The situation, how
ever, requires it ami can be forgiven, as it
gi es Mifcs Manola a clever chance to look
and act charmingly as a devoted woman
who will risk evervtlrinjr to see her sweet-
heart saie. Mr. Mason is not at his best in
the heavy part ot Jiichard iWri 7e,the surgeon,
and Colonel Bloougood, acted by Stanislaus
Stance, who is also the author of the piece,
is encumbered with a very forced lauch,
that at some places even grows disagreeable.
In "It I "Were You," the whole company
seems much more at ease. Jack chartcris
lias returned from a trip to Australia, but
having learned before his arrivali that his
betrothed, whom he left in England, is re
ceiving the attentions of a Lieutenant Beau
champs, and thinking that both his own and
Jiis Caictc't sentiments have undergone a
change in the two years' absence, he relin
quishes his claims and leaves the field clear
to the lieutenant. In the second act he
discovers that he still loves JIisi Careic, but
she indignantly refuses him believing that
lie is only flirting and is plotting for
the hand of Jfrs. Primrose, a widow.
In the third act they discover that they are
both mistaken, and as the Lieutenant has
started a little iliftation'with Mrs. Primrose' s
young daughter to make Jfss Carev; jealous,
and the flirtation grew to infatuation, it
leaves Jis Careic free to marry Jack. Jr.
Primrose is conteniently disposed of by her
falling a prey to the charms of Sir Timothy
Careir. 'The couicdr is very light, and bar
ring the length of several situations, a very
pleasing one. It is a remarkably clean
play, and bears no resemblance to the
semi-French concoctions thatnndrrthename
of "society dramas have been presented
to tue American puniic lor tne Jast lew
3 ears. Miss Mauola's oicehas improved
greatly since heard here last, and not being
lery strong, it naturally profits bv only
being used to moderation as in "If I were
You." Her rendering of "Could I But
Haeyour Love," trom'Boccacio," at her
entrance in the second act, was very finished
and guen with her old-time sweetness.
"Whenever her part requires some pique or
concentrated force she is very clever,
but in the long-drawn-out dia
logue between her and Jack in
the second act, she was cat in the shade bv
Mr. Mason's manful impersonation. It was
Ills first appearance here in Pittsburg, and
it is a good while ago since we have seen
such a frank, fresh and artistic performauce
as the one he gaic last night Robert Mc
"Wade made quite a character ont of the old
MiyhlanQcr, and Hattie Schell had the idea
ot the hall-grown and always curious
schoolgirl, Philoixvna, down to perfection.
Mr. Temple talked rather a little rapidlv
as Sir Timothy, and Mr. Booth, as Lieutenant
Jlcanchanijs, should learn that his portrayal
of the role would be tip-top in a falce
but is too exaggerated tor a comedy that
lavs claim to legitimate honors. The waits
between the acts were rather long, and the
piece de rideau could very easily be lei tout.
The house was not very large, but naxed
considerably enthusiastic as the play went
on, and demanded several encores ot Miss
Manola's songs.
central idea of holding up olJ aire to ridi
cule It is not an edifying or a whole
somely humorous sight to see this old man
making a fool of himself.if not something
worse. The incidents which are not really
inherent to the main story are the funniest.
There is a divorcee from Dakota, charm
ingly impersonated by Miss Lizzie Hudson
Collier, who uses a washed-out clerical
lambkin as a chaperone while she
angles for another man. The clergy
man is n typical farce-corned v
divine marvelously made-up and acted with
artistic meekness" by Edwin Perrc. The
idea of making the one innocent party in
the whoie crowd, the Mev. Calvin Gilder, the
first man suspected ot burglary, js very
cleverly handled. Tom Dawson is the
breezy good-looking man about to4n alwavs
to be found in fin-de-siccle plays; and W. E.
"Wilson fits the part. "Wrignt Huntington
gives rather a subtle finish to the character
of an amiable sport, but Mr. Bosenfeld
leaves his part iu the play in the air. A
clever little love episode is capi
tally worked out by Alt. Hampton,
who resembles Kat Goodwin in face and in
bis methods, and Miss Anna Belmont. The
strong-minded wife of the old man nho goes
astrav is forcibly portrayed by Mrs. Georgie
Dickson. A servant girl ,who is hunting
for the conundrum to which the answer is
"Because it can't sit down," is well done
by Miss Ella Maver. In fact the company
is strong and well cast. The whole company
got a curtain call after thexecond act. The
piece was fairly well staged. Taking the
whole thing, aside from any moral draw
bricks, it is a laughable "entertainment,.

SEVEJf SACRIFICED. a great danger.
Grand Opera Houso. jt
As is usual when the Boston Howard
Athenreuru Specialty Company coinet
around, teats were filled and standing room
was scarce at the Grand Opera House last
night. As much of the familiar as is desir
able in a good thing remains in the per
sonnel and programme, and enough of
novelty has been introduced to attract those
familiar with earlier performances.
The first number as rendered by the
Dixon brothers was as musical as it was
funny, and as much both as could be wished.
Bertoldi's marvelous performance has act
ually been improved, and is more than ever
lepellantly fascinatinr in its uncanny ab
normal contortions. Kara has a beautiful
assistant in his foreign bride, and is rapidly
catching up with his one-time master,
Cinauevalli. M. Servais Letov's startling
illusion, 'Three Graces," is ijew and inini-1
i table. For the rest Jhere is the usual
amount of frolicsome fun, good dancing and
humorous singing. Fulgora is as quick as
ever in his costume changes, and has no
need to pose as an elocutionist. And in
fine the constellation as a whole more than
maintains its supremacy as the brightest
galaxy in the variety heavens.

The Ilarrls Theater.
"The Two Old Cronies" has been consid
erably improved since it last appeared at
this house. A number ot new features have
been added, and there has been a general
shifting about of the principal characters.
Monte Collins is now one or the "Oronies,"
John "Wills the other. Miss Norma "Wills
is as pretty and graceful and sings as
sweetly as pver, and Miss liomaine isn't
missed, though her part of Puck is filled bv
another young lady, somewhat younger and
twice as pretty. James Barrigan proves
himself a first-class juggler, and his act was
heartily applauded by both of yesterday's
large audiences.
Imagination Is Tunny, Bat
In this vale of tears, aud incidental laugh
ter, imagination plays a stellar role. The
poet lives upon imagination, and without
it the most prosaic of us would be dull in
deed. It is also a lact that in our pleasure
as in our pain lancy counts for much. The
preacher insists, with verity no doubt, that
the pleasant side ot sin is largely if not
wholly imaginary and it is upon this text,
though nobody would call it a sermon, that
the play called "Imagination," produced at
the Alvin Theater last night, is built It is
the work of the prolific Sydney Itosenfeld,
and like all his plays, contains a fair
amount of superficial brilliancy, of which
witty lines contribute the most im
portant factor. Like Mr. Itosenfeld's other
plays, both adaptations and original works,
it is not carried evenly to a conclusion, the
last act being the weakest of the three. But
its object is plainly and persistently
Janghtcr and nobody can deny that "Imagi
nation" is so far entirely sufficient and
satisfactory. The audience laughed very
heartily last night, even if they did not al
together like the suggestiveness of much
that made them laugh. As to this sugges
tiveness the author doubtless will say that
it depends upon the imagination ot the
spectator, that it the mind of that spectator
is pure his imaginings will be pure. All
the same it does require a fearful amount of
experience in the ways of the ungodlv to
perceive the naughtiness of the old man's
thoughts when as lie believes he is visiting
a gilded haunt ot vice. There are peo pie
who will not be shocked bv anything thev
' sec or hear in "Imagination,"" but sad as
the reflection upon the general morality ot
mantrind may be, it is to be feared that "the
majority wiil thoroughly understand and
appreciate the risky drift of the plot.
Aiic story as lar as it need be told is
easily outlined. An old man who has
reached 65 withont tastingthe world's Dead
Sea fruit, suddenly takes it into his head to
see "life," as it is called. Two young fel
Iowb agree to show the old ma'n what he
wants to see, but they do not really do so.
Uhcy take him to a respectable lady's house
where a reception is in progress. He
imagines, after imbibing considerable
champagne, that he is in a place that
neither old nor young men ought to be. His
hostess he takes for a queen of Bohemia,
and when the police arrest him and several
others of his party for an alleged burglary
that has been committed he cheerfully ac-
cepts the situation as a legitimate wind-up
of what is commonly called "a whirl with
the boys." He is not repentant till his
poor old wife, who had reproached him be
lore for being too much of a vegetable, dis
covers him disheveled, dirty and dismally
'sober.
Mr. Harry Hotto, excellent comedian
that he is, makes the old man a very laugh
able object, except when the character be
comes pitiable through the playwright's
design. If we were asked what constituted
the most serious offense in the play it is the
Harry Dai is' Eden Musee.
Lovers of horseflesh flocked to this pop
ular house yesterday to see the stallion
Marquis. It is truly an, equine wonder and
with its long flowing mane and tail extorted
a great deal of admiration. The other
main attraction in the curio hall was Do
mingo, an Indian albino, and said to be the
only one of its kind in existence. The child's
white hair and light eyes furnish a striking
contrast to its parents' dark complexion.
Churchill and Gordon's vaudeville- meteors
shone brightly in the theater. The inimita
ble comedian, Frank Bush, as usual, made
the biggest hit, and was ably assisted by the
rest ot the company. The Koster Sisters
are verv pleasing, and Leonard and Hart in
their burnt-cork specialties sucteed in
creating a great deal of merriment During
all the performances the lioie was taxed to
its utmost capacity.
The World's Museum-Theater.
Drama was again this week the main
feature at the above house. Clair Tattle
appeared in the sensational comedy "Her
Sister," and made quite a hit She is a
versatile actress and is supporte'd by a good
company. The audience was enthusiastic
and demanded a good many encores. In
the curio hall Prof. Strassbourg's perform
ing onrang-outangs created a great deal of
merriment, as also did Frank Cottar's
donkey circus. The miniature oxen pleased
the children very much, and with good
reason. At both evening and afternoon
performances the house was crowded.
The Academy of Music.
"ue feoutn. uelore the War," is one of
those entertainments that make people
laugh until they are tired. Last evening
the building was crowded. Some very
faithful pictures of Southern life before the
rebellion are given, and while at times side
splitting laughter is provoked, there are
scenes pathetic enough to bring tears.
Charles Howard's representation of
Uncle Tom last evening was ex
ceedingly touching, and his sing
ing was applauded. The "Camp Meeting"
scene caused yells of laughter. There was
hardly a phase of old-time negro life left
untouched, and the representations were
good. Billy Gordon, "the AVhistling
Coon," was an excellent Aunt Chloe. "Wash
Day on Ihe Levee" was also a really enter
taining scene. The quartet singing was ex
cellent and a leading feature of the pro
gramme. The Starlight and Eclipse and
Buckingham auartets are probably among
the best that have ever been in Pittsburg.
Katie Carter, AVaiker's Merrymakers and
Charles Johnson were all well applauded.

HABD LINES OF A P00E WIDOW.
Her Little Daughter Imprisoned on a
Tritial Charge.
Mary Gebel, a delicate little German girl
only 14 years old, was lodged in jail last
night to await trial at court on a charge of
assault and battery. The child was terri
fied at sight ot the big, stone prison, and
wept as it her heart would break. She is
the daughter of a poor German widow, can
speak little English, having hn in thu
' country only a year and a half, and had no
conception ot the charge against her. ,
Constable Holman, who escorted her to
the j ail, said that about ten days ago while
playing with a group of children near her
home in Dutchtown, Allegheny, the child
had become enraged at' the taunts ot her
playmates and had cut one of them with a
knife. The wound was trifling, but re
quired a doctor's attendance. His bill tor
S10 was sent to the parents of the injured
child yesterday, but they refused to par.
claiming Mrs. Gebel should pay. "With
view to forcing Mrs. Gebel to par they en
tered the suit against the child before
Alderman Stork. The poor widow hadn't
seen 60 much moner in months and she
couldn't pay the bill. An offer was made
to withdraw the case when this became
known if the widow would pay the costs.
They amounted to little, but she couldn't
pay, and to her great distress her daughter
was taken from her and locked up.
Fell From a Itoof. "
James Clements, a painter in thn employ
of a Mr. Hamilton, of the East End, fell
from the roof or a house, at Dithridge and
Bayard streets, Oakland, yesterday after
noon. He had several ribs broken and was
hurt internally but will recorer.
Pnli.ADELrniA, Oct 24. The Shamo

number o" other persons, who were onlv
slightly hurt, proceeded to Philadelphia
without-having their injuries attended to.
Orders Were Kot Obeyed.
The, Shamokin express is made up at
Pottsvillc and left that city at 7 o'clock.
The train arrived at Phoenixville on time.
At this place orders dated Heading were re
ceived to run on the north-bound track from
V est Conshohocken to west Falls, a dis
tance ot only a few miles, regardless of all
other trains. From West Conshohocken,
in pursuance of these orders, the ill-fated
train took the north-bound track. It was
composed of five cars, the baggage car, two
passenger cars, and the Harnsburg Pull
man parlor car "Crestline."
The south-bound track 'was blocked with
freight cars, and to this fact is primarily
due the catastrophe. Train 2fo. 538, of
empty coal cars,5 was 'started north from
"West Manayunk on tlie northern track
shortly before 9 o'clock. There is a con
flict ot opinion as to the orders given the
crew of this train. The crew contend that
they had reeeived no orders to stop, while
the railroad officials tell what may" be re
garded as the most likely story, and that is,
that positive instructions had been given
that the coal train should lie up at "West
Falls, south ot where the collision occurred,
until the Shamokin train had passed.
The two trains came together right ona
curve with a terrible crash, and the shrieks
ot the dying and wounded could be heard
above the crashing ot timber and the noise
of escaping steam. The express was com
fortably tilled with passengers. The en
gines literally plowed their way through
each other and rolled over on their sides in
one conglomerated mass of shattered ma
chinery. The lront of the baggage car was
crushed completely in, and Baggage Master
.puier anu donn our, tne newsboy, were
buried in the mass of broken timbers, from
whioh they were subsequently taken out
dead.
Tlie Dead Promptly Taken Out
The baggage car was literally smashed to
kindlinguood and thrown over the north
bound track in a heap with the engines. It
caught fire aud was soon burned up. The
next two cars kept the track, but were al
most completely demolished. The next car
and the Pullman car were badly damaged,
but not to such an extent as" to prevent
their being drawn away irom the rest of the
train directly alter the" accident. Except for
scratches and bruises, the passengers in the
last two cars all escaped unhurt.
As the engines approached each ofher,
Engineer Billing and Conductor Gerlacher,
of the coal train, both jumped from the
cab, and what injuries they sustained were
received in falling. No one was in the pas
senger engine but Engineer Fitch and Fire
man Welsh. They were given no time to
think of their own safety, and were' buried
in the ruins before they k"new what had hap
pened. "When the collision occurred Con
ductor Hamilton was in the third passenger
coach the one next to the Pullman. With
a remarkable exhibition ot coolness, he
turned his attention at once to the dead and
wounded, and, collecting about him a staff
of helpers, he soon had the dead and
wounded out of the wreck.
Word was immediately sent in several
directions for medical aid, and in a short
time a staff of physicians was on hand
looking after the injured who could not be
immediately removed in the ambulance.
As soon as the wounded had all been at
tended to they were removed in ambulances,
those who could go home or come to the
city going to trains and the other adjacent
hospitals. The dead were taken to the city
police station at Manavunk.
, Superintendent Boiiseaue is vet unable
to positively place the blame on anyon;.
He says' that orders were sent to Pcncoyd
to hold the freight there until the passenger
train passed. Whether these orders were
delivered he does not know, but a rigid'in
vestigation as to where to place the blsme
lor the accident will be made. Conductor

he received no orders to hold his train at

that end of the city during the past summer
