The above are the theatrical attractions lor
this week.
The Post 'Week.
The debut or the B&rones Blano ttas not
much or a sensation after all. The public
lound her to be pleasant, extremely well
dressed woman who had. Tor a beginner,
unusual repose and aptness In stage busi
ness. That she woultf prove a great act
ress nobody expected, but everybody was
fcnrprlsed at what the had accomplished In
les time than is commonly enough to make
a "supe" carry a spear without danger
to hiuiselr and his companions upon
the stage. It is a curious experi
ment, this transplanting of society women
to the board, and in thl& case the more ao.
as the Baroness Blanc docs not pretend to
be u beauty. In a play better suited to her,
seemingly mild disposition and gentle arts,
she may show moieaud better leasons lor
Btaymc in the protessliin. The play "Decep
tion" has an unpleasant odor; it U ponerlul
lu no other sense. Perhaps this may be a
recommendation In Sew York: It is not
neie.
Th Lilliputians have established them
selves assulia Javorites hue, udtlie chil
dren especially are in love with them, as
they pxoved at jesterdaj's crowded mati
nee. Barry and Fay have lost none of their old
.'ime popularity.
Dlxey In Patience,
Henry E. Dlxey will be seen this week at
the Duuesne la a revival of the famous
Gilbert and Sullivan opera of "Patience."
It ulllbe ien-enibered that 11 r. Dlxey was
the ori-mal BunlhorM when the opera was
Urst produced in America. He has sur
rounded himseir with a good corps orartlsts.
The prima donna. Miss Lenore Snyder, was
lormerly of the bavoyTueater, Loudon. She
liai a superb flsuie, a voice of vast range,
great puritv and sweetness, andlsanact
tiess ot ability lar more tnan ordinar), It Is
said. As Mr. Dixey's Bunthorne made him
celebrated in America, so did Miss Snyder's
JPhiHU create a profound Impression In
Loudon. Another artist, whose reputation
has ion; ranked huh with the American
public, is Mr. JlcLiaushlin, the basso of the
ooinpui. There are itf u other comedians,
nauiel). Fred Lennox, who is original and
in the nrst rank 01 opera bouffe artists, and
All c Wheelen, who is an eccentric char
acter actor, standing high in his pro esion.
21lss loiande Wallace Is also an important
member 01 the cast, and Harold Blake is the
tenor. There is a ononis 01 63, including an
army of pretty girls aud some strong male
voices,. The scenery is all liom the studio
or Henry E. Ho taud is said to be the best
that he has ever designed. 'I he costumes
aie llohiu material, picturesque in design
und in every way worthy of the general
ensemble of the opora.
Dr. Bill at the Grand.
The Grand Opera House announces for

the "Contusion" scaool, with a. dash of the
Parsiun surgestiveness.
Dr. Brown throws up his practice. His
father-in-law, Sir. Finnan, desiring lame
for him, scatters circulars broadcast and
fixes a i,iuntic plate on the door, inviting
consultation to "Dr. Bill," as Dr. Blown is

Personal Gossip.
The dresses of Baroness Blanc proved
strong attractlout in their way, but the play
was a little too lUque Ui allow any great pro
portion ol tho audiences to be omen. The
special equipages or tlio new star are not
likely to do her much good. The B ironess is
eiuch prettier off the staje than she appears
to be be Iml iho footlight-; make np is a

Mr. Keogh, one of Baroness Blano's man
ager!, lias bad usnful experience with Lily
Langtry, and he will have a chance to ex
ploit his new star In Sow York lor the next
week before sbo. opens there.
Tho gentleman who pats up the money for
a theatrical venture is known to the pro
fession as "an angel," and City Passenger
Agent A. F. Bean, of the Pennsylvania linen,
has happily called the little pocket hand
book of Pittsburg issued bv Mr. Moody's de
partment oy tuat name, xno dook contains
a lot of useful information lor theatrical
men, includlhga very good minlatnre map
of Pittsburg. It is "an angel" that can be
tonohed constantly and will always clve up.
The Chrixtmas number of the Dramalia
JVetca is a beausy Itoin the wintry scene on
Broadway outside Daly's Theater on its
first cover to the pictured tableau f rom'Tbe
Fenclug Master" nhich tortus Its back
cover Between toe covers are lots of good
stories, sketches and poems, pictures of
pretty women and actors great and small.
A capital poem by Eugene Field recalls the
"palmy days o: tuediama" when "we were
Soman soldiers with Brutus In St. Jo." One
of the best stories is by "Macon'" McCor
n. lew, which tells of a not Inlrequent epi
sode in a newspaperman's life. Lean
der Blchardson has a capital tale
called "A Tenderfoot's Midnight Klde," and
there are characteristic bits by the Hon.
Charles H. Hoyt, Sat Goodwin, Stuart Bob
son, Sym Crinkle and other well-known
people, more or less of tne stage world. The
advertisements, or which there are several
tons, afford t. good idea of how big stage
land has grown to be.
A mightv pretty girl Invites yon to see
what is behind her in the Christmas number
of the Sew York Dramalia iiirror, tluuUih
the ornamental oover of which her face ap
pear to have broken through It Is not
deceiving you, either, for the contents of
the holiday edition are certainly a literary
and artistic least. The Illustrations Include
an unusual variety of subjects, not wholly
theatrical, but chiefly done by actors
or people connected with the stage.
They are mostly Very good, and the por
traits o. prominent actors and actresses are
especially line. The stories and sketches
include contributions from Ada Lewis,
Harrison Gray Fiske, Charles Barnard, Burr
Mclutosu and a host of other clever people.
The portrait of the Inimitable Buir is a
speaking one, and the story he tells seems
toretertothe talented and lovely woman.
Miss Jennie A. Eustace, whose picture
adorns an adjoining page.
The foreign sensation tor this season prom
ises to be Eleanora Duse, the Italian trage
dienne who visits tills country in January.
She will be under the management of Carl
and Theodore Bosenfeld, the Lilliputians'
managers. She is said to be a greater aotross
than Bernhai dt. The fact that she will play
In Italian is a drawback.
Sew York has eclio-d Pittsburg's verdict
upon "Th Prodhtal Fatlior," the farce
comedv produced here la-t summer. The
Diamcuia Mirror says: "It may pass muster
in primitive communities but not on Broid
av." Still uiaur things satisfy Sow York
tlmt affri.'ht the "primitive" provinces.
The success of Byron Douglass in a good'
but by no means easy part is likely to bring
that young man to the front very quickly.
There are very few good looking men who
can act, by the way. HErantK Jonss.

Letters in S'ew York.

last summer in London. On this occasion
Leslie Informed Mr. French that hu had
put in a tough day. Sellio Farren, who is

DusLor's tage Xews reports Bichard Mans
fiold as saying: "It is idle for Boston to claim
intellectual superiority; Chicago now holds
thesnay. There In the future all my new
plays will be pi oduced, and 1 bave legis
tereda vow never to let a Boston audience
gaze on one or my pieces ror the first time.
Boston critics will devote themselves to
my crooked legs. Crooked le's! Do I speak
with them? Yl hv, then, do critics gaze at
them? Then, in 'A Parisian Bomance,' when
I had a leal supper, with genuine cham
pagne, why, it brought down the house in
Chica o, especially when they opened the
bottles, but only the gullerv clapped in Bos.
t"n It Is always so. In the South I hoar
aho.it my voice 1 Is fine. It Is grand. I am
told I have tbe finest ot any man on the

method, and the ier of us who are trying to

11 he. Sarah BEBSHAimT Is one of tbe divas
who make their dresslugrooms at theaters
as rich and luxuriant as possible. The room
assigned to her at the Port Saint Martin
when she wasplaylng Cleopatra had a cream
colored carpet with a Pompadour ua tern,
furniture oi the Pompadour style, magnifi
cent curtains, mirrors all round tbe walls t
statues, bronzes, and n'ck-n.icks every
wheiu,aad the whole loom was flo ded with
electric light. In a corner or the room
stood a case, waimly wrapped upturn my
blankets. It contained the Iamous vipers
ot Cleopatra, or which Sara Hern hardt her
self toos the greatest care. Between all the
acts she took Uie cover off this case, and
played with tier "friends," putting them
lo.ind hernejkand herann, caressing and
kissing them. Had it not been tnrlier maul
she would olten have tailed to appear on
the stage at the right moment. Tnecelo'
butted tragedienne always arrlvos at the
theater lu good time, and thus Is obliged to
tako her dinner at stoU. About 10 p. jr., be
tween two wet", she eids to a lesiauraut
close by for a dozen oysters, a slice of pate,
and a battle or white wine. Seurly all the
year round a bUr lo' fire Is kept burning In
the grate or deopatia's drc-siiigroom, for
thosUdy Is alw.tj s complaining oi cold.
Boon Beuatrcs died at Setilly Sur Marne,
France, last week. Ho was Bernhardl's
lover. Fifteen years ago the poor lejlow
v.as an industiious Government clerk. Oue
evening he wont to tne Theater FrancaUe
and saw Bernhardt in "HernanL" He ielt
the l.ouso madly In love with the great
ac:ios. The next morning he wrote her,
offering her his hand and heart. Sarah took
no notice of the Utter, bat the next day lbs
received a second, then a third, and so on,
evory morning's mall bringing hr another
four-paae letter. Beoomlng tiled, Sarah at
last wrote to Benatres' superiors. The chief
of the bureau went into his offloe and found
him in the ace of writing hi Sd love
letter, commencing "Mademoiselle la grando
artiste." He was scolded severely and told
he was making himself ridiculous, that he
was a poor earthworm In love with a star.
This was too muoh for his already weakened
mind and soon afterwards it became neces
sary to send him to n lunatlo asylum, where
he "had to spend the last 15 years, still
writing daily love letters to Sarah, who he
believed would one d&y be touched by his
devotion, and where he died the other day
without bavins lost either bis love or bis
hope.
The new dancer Is a very good exponent of
tbe "school, the deoadent school, of ballet
dancing; decadent, for the old Italian school
has fallen, as fell Gothic arohlteotnre, from
over-cultivation of mere technique, from
making means an end. The new ones are all
alike. First she stands on tiptoes till her
gasttoenemlus muscles ache, and then she
rushes abonton tip-toes In time, not rhythm,
with the music, till her solon mnscles begin
to tremble; she dancei round about out of
time, but In rhythm with the music, and
and then spins like a teetotum; the then
leaps high and falls into the arms of a long,
thin Slgnor in the attitude of one dlvlnff.
Sometimes sue hops forward on one foot, or
rather toe, and gazes at the other as If won
dering whose It is. and where It came from,
and then gesticulates with It as H indignant
at its conduct and anxious to get rid ot It.
She gathers herself together like a cat about
to establish business relations with a spar
row, and, dashing forwatd. Jumps Into the
Signer's embrace, and there rests like a
statue of one filed out of a gun, and anon
turns around in his arms nsif anxious to
stand on her head, and only abstaining
through regard for the Dr. Parkhurst. Fi
nallv she dances round the stage like a
lighted Catherine wheel trundled as a boy's
hoop. All wonderrul, but very far from
graceful. Asa rule, the voung women who
do this will not be of much use to a sculptor.
Borneo and Juliet.
One of the most poetical effusions which
has ever emanated Irom that gray matter
called brain Is undoubtedly Shakespeare's
peerless ti-asredy or "Borneo and Juliet."
It bi eathes the soft air of Italy, i efleots the
azure tint or tho Southern sky, and every
line and seene is Irausht with the languor,
as well as passion or that romantic country.
The consummate skill or the great Shakes
peare manifested itself In the marvelous
creation of this tale of love. It has charmed
generations none and forgotten. It will en
trance millions yet unborn; In short, It is
Immortal.
'hese reflections suggested themselves to
the writer on naislng Solomon & Buben'a
corner window containing the balcony scene
trom "Borneo and Juliet."
1 he general arrangement and effect Is
wonder ully artistic and yet strikingly life
like. The background represents tho house
of Capulet that mansion which contains
Verona's fairest flower.
Borneo has leapt the wall of Capulet's gar
den. There are no longer "Farth-treadlng
stars that make dark heaven light."
He has found a sequestered spot far apart
from tho banqueting ball from whleh his
Jnliet descended amid the guy groups that
floated about in that garden
"To hani upon the cheek of night,
As alien Jewel in an Ethiop's ear."
Jmiet appears on the balcony sighs "Ah
me,"
itomeo." She speaks.
"On, speak again bright angel, for thou art
As glorious to this night being o'er my
bead
As is a winged messenger or heaven
Unto the white upturned wond'ring eyes
O f mortals that lall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy pacing clonds
And sails upon tbe bosom or the air."
Fiom this poetical elavatlon it would
seem almost impossible for the lover to de
scend to earth and yet the earth has visions
or tenderness and purit. which equally be
long to the highest region or poeiru The
Jears 01 Juliet for his safety the farewell
compliment the
"In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond"
the "do not swear" tne
"Stay but a little. I will come again." All
these indications uf the union of "purity ot
heart and tne glow oi Imagination" belong
to the highest region of an ideal world, and
yet are likened to this our own world ol
beauty and frailty.
Great credit is due Messrs. Solomon & Ru
ben ror giving Pittsbureis suoh an oilinal
and artistic treat. It will certainly be ap
prcclate'd by all who admire the wonderlul
creatiou ol England's immortal bard
