A novel feature, and one which was first introduced by this company, is that of presenting high-class specialties between the acts,and a number of prom inent vaudeville artists are engaged for this portion of the entertainment alone, making it really two shows combined in one, and one grand continuous per formance. Notwithstanding the enorm ous expense the prices will be reduced to 10, 20 and 30 cents, no higher. Ladies will be admitted to the best seats the opening night for 15 cents by securing tickets in advance. Grand Opera House, Pittsburg.
