The ProRrnmme.

THE Bijou Theater will this week present to
its patrons as star that funny man Bobby
Gaylor. in William A. Brady's production of
IAN Irish Arab" Heretofore Mr.. Gaylor has
only been seen in variety companies, where he
has been very bright light. He has humor Of
the spontaneous kind, and never fails to elicit
roars of laughter from. his auditors. Reports
from the East and West where the play has
been done, however, indicate that both the
star and the company have made an unquali-
fed hit. IAN Irish Arab is Lester Wallack's
old comedy, "The Veteran" rewritten to tit
Mr. Gaylor, who has the low comedy role of
OFlandgdn. The production will be given
under the personal supervision or Mr.. Brady,
and will be pretentious one, that celebrated
artist Mr.. Harley Merry, having painted the
five-act sets Of scenery used. The cast is a
strong one and as follows:

During the third act magnificent acrobatic
act is presented by the famous three brothers
La MARITIME. This performance has created
perfect furor in every city. Their feats are
said to be really astonishing. Mr.. Gayior and
his company of players will surely be greeted
by a very large house, for the advance sale of
seats is the biggest that the Bijou has had this
season, and there is no doubt, il all the reports
we have heard of the merits of "An Irish AraD'
prove correct, TINT many nights during the en-
gagement that standing loom will be at pre-
MUM.
On Monday night Louis Aldrich comes to the
Grand Opera House for one week with his new
play called 1.-THE Editor" The reputation Mr..
Aldrich has established is pretty generally
understood. As an impersonator of the manly,
straightforward, faithful heroes of the "Wesr-
ern Drama" he has won considerable fame.
His performance of BARLEY Campbells Zero in
my Partner" played an important part in
bringing to public notice the dead dramatists
great power as playwright On the coming
occasion he will present new character to the
STAGE a far Western editor He is "go-aheaia-
tive" emphatic. irrepressible and somewhat
rough but manly and earnest. The play itself
is a comedy. 1.-The Editor was first produced
last spring at Palmers Theater, New York,
AGAIN at PhiIadelphia and Boston, in each of
which cities MIR. Aldrich's impersonatlon Of the
Arizona editor, Colonel Jon1 HdtOkiYS, was
received with many signs of popular favor.
The engagement is for one week, with W Wednes-
uay and Saturday matinees.
THE Clipper Theater offers SUMS New
Phantasma and Burlesque Company this
week. The Louisville Post, September 2, 1890,
said: A crowded house witnessed the first per-
formance of SUMS New Phantasma and Bur-
lesque Company last evening at the 3ueking-
ham Theater. The show is one of the best of
the variety order that has been seen here this
year. George Suns fine feats of juggling ex-
cited the admiration and wonde- of the audi
ence, and John Coburn's hlack-face turn was
made a very clever male impersonator. and J.
H. Murtha and Jessie Lake gave a very inter-
esting musical sketch. The remainder or the
company is up to the standard.
WHEN it is said that Tony Pastors company
is the attraction at Harry Williams this week
the public knows pretty definitely that the
best in the vaudeville line is to be seen at the
Academy. The great English music hall singer,
Miss Bessie Bonehill, who made such hit in
New York last year, is the star of the company,
gramme besides her. Mile. Beatrice is mar
velos contortionist; Miss Maggie Cline has not
a superior as a character singer, and the CON-
pauy is strong in comedians. Mr. Tony Pastor
himself will sing at every performance.
DoRE DA vIDsoN and Ramie Austen will
make their appearance before a Pittsburg au-
dence tomorrow at Harris Theater in the
highly emotional drama of "Guiity Without
Crime" The play is an adaptation Of Miss NJ.
E. Braddon's intensely dramatic novel of "Au-
Yora Floyd" ;" and the work of fitting 1t for
stage representation has been etfectiy ely and
thoroughly done
