Blondell & Fennessv's Musical Com edy Company is booked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening. A Lowell, Mass., paper says; "A Cheerful Idiot" gave its second per formance at the Mnsic Hall last even ing and scored another success before a good sized audience. The Diece is full of funny situation* and specialties, which keep the audience in an uproar. The Blondells, Libbie and Edward, in the star roll are certainly a hit. Ed ward Blondell ar Jep Dimple. "The Cheerful Idiot," repeated his success of the previous evening.' The rest of the company are well selected. Le Roy Woodford, again caught on well; Arm strong and Porter wecte pleasing; Deve aux and Deveaux repeated their hit;' Michael Finn in his eccentric dancing was very clever and responded to sev eral encores. "A Cheerful Idiot" so far out-classes all' similar entertainments seen at Music Hall, even to the Rays' "Hot Old Time," which held the record for business and laughs at this house np to the engagement of the Blondells i in this hilariously funny play." GRAND OPERA HOUSE, PITTSBURG. All the newspapers of Pittsburg are singing the praises of the grand produc tion of the stupendous scenic drama. "Cyrano de Bergerac", at the Grand Opera House, and declare it the most magnificent presentation ever given in our sister city.' Nothing ever given at the Grand, or at any other theatre even aproaches it in magnitude and splen dor. The scenery in all the five acts is elaborate and brilliant and built upon.a scale that may well be termed stupen dous. It requires 68 actors and over 200 other people to complete the ensem ble. Many who have seen the cele brated drama in both Londoii and New York concede that the production at the Grand is by far the most elaborate and complete. No advance has been made in prices and consequently the Grand is crowded every afternoon and evening with enthusiastic audiences. People from surrounding towns come in by the score, and do not feel satisfied with a visit to Pittsburg unless they visit the Grand. The management still carries out the successful policy of giving continuous performances, from 1 to 11 p. m , introducing high-class vaudeville in retined, interesting and amusing specialties. For the ensuing week,commencing onMonday afternoon, a rare selection of artists have been socured among which are such celebra tions as the Windoil Quartett, Welby, Pearl and Keys, the Non-descript TriO; Danell & Melard. Le Van Brothers, Oscar Dane. Le Vette & Le Velio, and others of equal ability. Any of onr readers visiting Pittsburg should cer tainly enjoy an hour or two at the Grand. The beautiful comedy-drama, '"The Gold Mine", is in active rehearsal and will be handsomely staged at the Grand to follow 'Cyrano de Bergerac. Tlio "Pittsburg Limited." Beginning Tuesday, November 15, the Pennsylvania Railroad Comyany will place" in service the "Pittabnrg Limited," a new fast express train from Pittsburg to New York, Baltimore and Washington, leaves Pittsburg daily at 10.00 P.
