Y. M.C. A. Recitals.
Music lovers have been taking interest
in the recital series which has recently
been announced for the coming musical
season, and which will provide Butler
with three concerts of unusual attrac
tiveness. The management is in the
hands of Charles N. Boyd, of Pittsburg,
and the subscription list has already
assumed large proportions. All the
tickets will be sold by subscription, and
it is possible that there will be no sale
of tickets at the door. The prospectus
announces as the attractions for the
first concert, Januarp 24, Miss Rachel
B. Frease, soprano; Mrs. W. A. Lafferty
contralto; S. T. Beddoe, tenor; David T.
Moore, baritone; and an accompanist,
all well known Pittsburg musicians.
The concerts given this season in many
cities by this company have been
everywhere characterized as a superb.
The "In a Persian Garden." has proven
a work of very unusual popularity and
furnishes the opportunity, seldom afford
ed, of hearing a vocal quartet in a com
position so well adapted to the purpose.
This work occupies half of the program:
in the miscelleanous part each member
of the quartet will be heard in solos.
The second recital will be given by
Lewis Williams, the-famons New York
baritone, February 18, and the last
concert will be given March 21, by the
Kunits String Quartet, Pittsburg's well
known musical organization. Every
member of the Quartet is a soloist
of the Pittsburg Orchestra, of which
Mr. von Kunits is concert master, and
either individually or as an organization
needs no introduction to the music
lovers of the vicinity. Mr. von Kunits
and Mr. Merck will be the solist for
this concert. All throe of these recitals
will be given in the Y. M. C. A. Audi
torium. The same series has been in
troduced by Mr. Boyd in some thirty
cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia this year, and everywhere has
been commended as filling a long-felt
want in providing high class concerts
in regular series.

PARK THi: VTl£j;.
A CAVALIER OF FRANCE JAN. 10.
"A Cavalier of France is one of the
most picturesque plays ou the boards
to-dav. The period of the play is out*
of the most romatic in the world's
history. France always was, and in
fact still is a laud of poetry and flowers
but during the reign of Henry the 111.,
-the spirit of adventure was rampant,
every court gallant fought tor his par
ticular lady love, and defended his name
«nd hers with his good sword.
.SPAN OF LIKE.
The highly realistic and successful
melodrama, "The Span of Life will be
seen at the Park Theatre Jan. 15th.
The story of the play is familiar to
theatregoers, and the piece with its
wonderful human bridge and great
lighthouse scene has since its last pre
selitation here become the talk of four
Continents. While all the scenery of
the original production was duplicated,
the popular pieee will be seen this yea r
with all its mechanical effects new.
The company is a very strong one and
contains many well known artists 'I lie
famous Donazettas, who stand a. the
'head of the acrobatic profession will
form the wonderfel human bridge.
It is a marvelous feat and no doubt
the ' The Span of Life" owes much of
Its longevity and success to this and its
great lighthouse scene.
Gnuid Opera House, iMttslmrg.
Next after this week's pretty, laughable
comedy, "Why Smith Left Home at
the Grand Opera House, Pittsburg,
comes one of the biggest events of tho
season in a magnificent production of
"Romeo ftnd Juliet ', which will be
given next week by the Grand stock
company, and for this great production
the management of the Grand has spec
iallv engaged the celebrated actress
Katherine Grey. who will appear in tiiL
part of "Juliet " Miss Grey was last
seen in Pittsburg as the leading woman
for Richard Mansfield, and appeared as
"Roxan'' iu "Cyrano de Bergerac . and
inthe female star part iu the "First
Violin." There is no more widely
known actress in Europe or America,
possibly outside of very few of the great
stars like Bernhardt than Katherine
Grey. Her engagement at the Grand
Opera House for the "Romeo & Juliet
production will be an event of extraor
dinary importance.
