A company of exceedingly clever per- • formers will appear in the production of "A Breezy Time" at the Park Theatre J on Friday evening Novenber 24th. The j piece is a farce comedy, but it is said j that it is a little more connected than j are most pieces of its kind. It is put to- i gether simply for the purpose of giving j the comedians an opportunity to exhibit themselves in the various specialty per formances. The piece is seperated into three acts, and these acts are full of ac tion rather than dialogue. New scenery and costumes have been made for "A Breezy Time" this season. The first scene is laid at a young student's apart ments in Boston. The second act shifts to Vermont. It may not be necessary to say there is a young girl who is in love with a young student, aid that the young st'ident reciprocates the love. His creditors stand in the way of his j marriage, and "A Breezy Time" is like , other pieces in this at least, but all ends happily in the last act. The play is brimful of melodious music, and a great many scenes have been introduced that have no particular connection with the play itself, but that are sufficiently amusing to excuse the fact that they re tard the action. The Pittsburg' Orchestra. The fourth set of concerts of the Pittsburg Orchestra in Carnegie Music Hall, Schenley Park, on Friday even ing, November 24 and Saturday afternoon, November -sth, will in troilnce the great Russian violinist, Petschnikoft", who made his first appear ance in this country in New York on Saturday evening last, and achieved such a success as few European artists have ever had. Mr. Petschnikoff will play the great concerto by Tschaikowsky, never before heard in this part of the country. The orchestra concerts in Pittsburg this season were never so pop ular. It is considered that Mr. Herbert has an orchestra second to none in the country. Opera House Pittsburg Thanksgiving week at the Grand Opera House will be marked by the presentation of Nat Goodwin's greatest comedy success, "A Gilded Fool.' In this play, that did more to make Nat Goodwin famous than anything he has produced in years, the stock company should appear to excellent advantage. In facr, all things considered, "A Gild ed Fool" should prove the best success of the year, and admirers of the stock company should not miss this promis ing Thanksgiving attraction at the Grand. Avenue Theatre, Pittsburg. The Avenue Theatre, will be open Thanksgiving week, commencing next Monday with performances both after noon and evening. For this occasion the management has securred what must be regarded as the very best vaudeville bill that has eyer been brought together upon the stage. Among the noted artists of Europe and America who will appear are the Rus sel Brothers. John and James, whose uproarous sketch entitled "The Irish Servant Girls" is as well known through out the U. S. as any of the dramatic of ferings of note. In the list also are Geo H. Wood, the popular entertainer, who is known as ' The Somewhat Different Comedian"; the Althea Twin Sisters, famous singers and dancers; Maud Am ber, the beautiful and gifted song stress; the Four Hills, a troupe of noted singers and dancers; the Fansons, in a delightful comedy sketch, which they call the "Reminders of Happy School Day Times"; Howe & Scott, the best of all Hebrew comedians, and John Harty, a comedy juggler.
