The theatrical season of 189M-I!HH> opened in Pittsburg last night with good hot weather attractions at the Bijou. It would have taken a much higher temperature than existed last night to keep Pittsburgers away from minstrelsy and rollicking variety acts. Asa conse quence the attendence was big enough to satisfy the heart of the most exacting mnnagei. Hi Henry's ministrels' bid for pationage at the Bijou brought them face to face with an audience of most gratifying size. It >vas a crowd that was there to langh. and it was given abundant opportunity to do so. Hi Henry has one of the best popnlar prieed ministrel troupes that has been seen in Pittsburg for a long time. It is a large company, anil contains some good singers and fnnny people. The first part, which in itself is as big as many a whole show, is laid on the deck of one of the American warships at Manila. The idea was nsed last season by Col. Haverly, but Hi Henry has elaborated and improved on it. No chairs are used, but the jackies lounge naturally about the deck, on coils of rope and gun carriages. The various songs, and the arrival of different fun makers are introduced wit j decidely good dialogue and stage business **** \ descriptive orchestral number and one Hi Henry's popular concert solos preceded the vaudeville portion of the entertainment. Teal and Whalen took the hoaseby storm in a laughable blackface burlesque, while "Billy" Clark adked to his reputation as a .monologue entertainer. Morton and Elliott do a musical turn, introducing some clever work on the m >uth organ, and preformed some trick paper tearing that pleased miglitly, one design includ ing the motto "Welcome Tenth Regi ment." The performance closes with a fine exhibition of acrobatic work by Harris and Nichols. The Pittsburg Times of Au,'. 15.
