THE CAST.
The Duuuesne Theater,

The preliminary fall season of the Du-
quesne Theatre opens tomorrow evening
with W. S. Clevelands Consolidated Min
strels. 1t is pronounced Mr. Cleveland's
greatest effort and is said to be new show
from the moment the curtains part on the
first act until the very close. 1t will GER
thing new in the way of minstrelsy.
A Washington exchange speaking of the
shows says: "1n all respects the best troupe
of minstrels ever handled by Mr.. W. S.
Cleveland, who has taken the place as a
minstrel manager once occupied by Col.
Jack Haverly, appeared at the Academy of
Music last night to an audience that, con-
sidering the fact that the thermometer was
crawling up into tho nineties, was simply
immense. The programme was well selected,
the first part being particularly interesting,
and all the performers were good. Nearly
every song was encored, while some of the

dience completely, and was obliged to nearly
exhaust his repertoire before they would let
him go. The -four emperors of music
Messrs. Howard, Russell, Blackford and Tai
bert, gave a musical act that was very pleas

and delicacy of shading. Two specialties,
which are marvels in their way, are Reto,
the contortionist. and Ouda, the European
gymnast. The former appears to be abso-
lutely boneless, so elastic are his move

been witnessed in years." The company will
give eight performances, six evenings and
two matineeS.

of the Bjou the coming week in the person
of James Reilly. called the sweetest of sing
ers of all German comedians. Mr.. Reilly is
a comedian of the Emmett school, and as
Johann, in the musical comedy called "The
Broom Maker" he has ample opportunity
to display his power as o German dialect
comedian of the better class, and a singer OF
rare ability. This is Mr.. Reilly's third sea-
son in ''The Broom Maker" and his success
has been phenomenal from the start. The
Broom MaKcI" is a rich German musical
comedy, with a plot that holds the audience
from start to finish.
The story is as follows: Mrs. vanderburgh
being in delicate health her husband de-
cides to send her to the springs at Carlsbad,
while he remains in America. Mrs. Wander
burgh reaches Germany with her child. She
meets simple German girl, Gretchen, who
asks her to come and stay with her mother.
Mrs. VanderburRh accepts and is installed
at Gretchen's home, where she meets Yo-
ham, the girls sweetheart, who becomes
burgh's daughter. One day Gretchen OBJ
served that her American visitor was worry
ing, and, on inquiry, learned that no letters
away husband. While Yohann and
Gretchen are trying to console
her two men appear with tidings of Mr..
Vanderburgh's death, one of whom claims to
be the only surviving relative and that he
had been appointed sole guardian. Mrs.
Vanderburgh fears that all is not right, and
when they insist on taking away her child
she stoutly refuses, aided by the strength of
Yohann. The child is stolen and taken to
America. Mrs. Vanderburgh follows, taking
with her Gretchen, Yohann and the formers
father, to aid her in discovering the child.
The pretended brother becomes murderer,
stopping at nothing to keep possession of
the child and her father. Johann and an
Irish friend recover the child after sur
mounting many obstacles, and succeed in
finding that Mr.. Vanderburgh, instead of be-
Ing dead, was confined in lunatic asylum
through conspiracy.
