the theatrical attractions
Mr. Mansfield Is Here.
Bicbard Mansfield possesses a striking in
dividuality. There is no one among the
scores of notable actors who visit Pittsbunr
In the year "who appeals in quite such a di
rect ay to the intelligence of our theater
goers. Mr. jilansfleld'i following in Pitts
burg is large and loyal, as the critic who
ventures to find fault with him speedily
dikcovers. It is only Ju9t to say
tbat -when an actor makes so many
nomeu as well as men his admirers
as Mr. Mansfield has done here, his
must be a peculiar und positive merit.
Aside from popularity, it is pleasant
to be able to credit Mr. Mansfiela
Trith a sincero endeavor to go forward,
to make new excursions from the beaten
track always witb a tolerably ap
parent fidelity to high standards of ait.
A hen so many artors or ahilliy are quite
'willing to plod along in any old rut, if it be
but fruitlul to their pockets, Mr. Mansfield s
upwaid look is as grate ul as it is unusual.
1 itu his ideas it is hardly possible tbat
any sincere man can always agree,
but that does not mako his audacity
in orieinatinsr any the less admirable. Mr.
ilansficld's disregaid for tbe views of oth
ers not infrequently is a positive Virtue
-An bow bis visit to this citv lias become
one of tbe theatrical events of surpassing
Interest in tbe season, and I have no doubt
tbat a personal welcome ot the warmest
kind will be extended to him as usual next
week.
Mr. Mansfield's repertoire this time in
cludes "The Scarlet Letter," "Beau Brum
mell," "A Parisian Eoinance," "A'ero" and
"Dr. Jekylland Mr. Hyde." Theie are two
lunelties heie, as will be observed. "The
Scarlet Letter" is a dramatization of Haw
thorne's story, and it affords Mr. Mansfield
an opportunity for a new departure in char
acter creation. From what the Chicago pa
pers have said of this play and Mr. Mans
field's performance In it, I should say that
ibey will be extremely interesting. It is a
great pity that Mr. Mansfield has chosen to
Cive this play on Tuesday night, for the
election excitement and obligations will
Jirevent many liom seeing it. It it is not too
ate I would seriously urge Mr. Mansfield to
Tepeat "The Scarlet Letter" on Thursday or
Saturday evenings in nlace of "Xeio," an
other novelty, or "I)r. Jekyll and Mr.
livde."
Tho company supporting Mr, Mansfield
has undetone some changes since last sea
son. Miss Bcuti ice Cameron is the leading
lady mil, and Pittsburg has the honor of
congratulating her upon her marriage to
Mr. Mansfield since their last meeting. The
companj also includes D. H. Harkins, F.
Flucn-Sralles,A. G. Andrews.Arthur Forrest,
M. J. lercuson, Cbailes J. Barbridee. C. F.
Butler. A. w. Griffith, Miss tleanor
Markillie, Mrs. Julia Brutone, Miss
Eullnda Baiabridge, Miss Helen Gliddon
and Miss Kate Lester. The repertoire is
apportioned as lollows: Monday and Friday
evenings and Saturday matinee, "Beau 4
xtrnniuiell;-' Tuesdav, "Ihe Scarlet Letter;"
Al ediiesday, "A Parisian Bomance;" Thurs
day -.Ven,;" Saturdav. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hde."
The Gossoon's Irish Humor.
A play of pleasant flavor and tinged with
a liolesome Irish racineBS is "The Gossoon,"
w Inch comes to the Duquesne this week. It
Mas played hero last sea-on. and for that
jvason tiiere is no need to describe the play
In do talk My impression is tbat of the
re-'ent Irish plays "The Gossoon" is about
fcS od as anj. Xearly all types of Irish
character have been depicted upon tbe
fet.ige. The Irifh landlord, sood and bad;
the peasant, the soldier, the rogue, the fool,
und so ou "ad libitum." It remained for
Carroll Johnson, the star or the play to in
troduce a new character, a Gossoon. What

land. In assuming the character Mr. John

tempted in the past. An Irish play without
Fnn s and dances would be singular and
tin it- are plenty iu "The Gossoon." The
fei-ciierj is pretty.
A riay of the Police.
The workincs of a big city's police depart
ment are to be exploited this week at the
Grand opera House in the melodrama "Tbe
Police Patrol," with which Pittsburg Is
already acquainted. Mr. Scott Marble in
this play has taken a criminal event which
Etruck Chicago with horror a few years ago
as the foundation tor his plot. It is an ab
sorbing story, and The Dispatch has already
applauded tbe power of Its principal situa
tions In one act the Interior or a police barn is
shown, with the horses standing in their
nails, the wacon in place and everything in
leadings lor the alarm. When the bell
pounds the holies dash under the swinging

nyde's Comedians at Lhe Academy.
The company known as Hyde's Comedians
will make things merry on the Academy
Etagc this neek. They say tbe company is
better this year than ever, and a glance at

the vaudeville lover that the entertainment

Harris' Theater.
Lovers of a cleverly constructed sensa
tional drama, with some comedy scenes, will
be pleased that "The Waifs of Ke w "X ork" will
be presented at Harris' Theater this week.
The company is said to be the best that has
ever been seen here in the play, and as he
scenery was all pain ted new for this season's
production a satisfactory- presentation
should be the if suit. The specialties of Liz

thief, being repulsed in an attempt to rob,
stabbed a man and escaped over the house
tops. He descen ded through a scuttle into
a tenement where a little girl had been lelt
to starve, w bile her drunken paicnts went
to seive a term on Blackwcll's Island. The
thief was moved to pity, and he undertook
to sneak out of this safe leluco to letch lood
lor the child; but police detectives were in
the street, and so were ncwsbois selling pa
pers containing accounts or the death oi tho
man the fugitive bad wounded. Thus it
came that Jfr. Reagan must eitner let the

A rotable engagement will be the appear

Willard, wbose coming will be news more
than welcome to theater goers of Pittsburg.
Mr. Willard's fame, although well-established
In London, was comparatively now
in this country until he came lice a great
surprise two seasons ago. Since tbat time
the younger artist has climbed the ladder of
fame and placed himself at Mr. Irving'a
elbow in the world of dramatic art He Im
mediately attracted wide attention, and is
now acknowledged as one of the few really
great actors of the times. The American
public likes Mr. Willard, because he im
presses upon them his sharp and distinctive
individuality. Force, moving pathos, earn
estness and sustained vt?or are among the
prominent eatures of his work. His forth
coming engagement will be more notable
irom tne fact that ho introduces two new
productions, "John Ncedham's Double" and
'The Fool's Paradise," presenting during
the same week "The Middleman" and
"Judah." He will be s ipported by Mr. A.
