YALE MEN OF MELODY.

College Boys Sing School Songs While
Fashionable Pittsburg Listens - New
Actors in an Old Play-Here and There
in the Polite World.
A FASHIONABLE audience welcomed the
Yale College boys, forming the Yale Glee
and Banjo Clubs, at their concert last night
IN carnegie Hall, Allegheny. The nall hao
the appearance almost of q house function,
as everybody either belonged, OF looked as
if he belonged, to the same set, and the dress
ing was extremely pretty. not TO say bril-
liant, in nearly every instance. The Banjo
Club, when it made its appearance,
fashionably late, to suit the fashion
ably late audience, was received with
warmly expressed applause, given with
additional, if such could be, a few minutes
later in return 1or the capitally rendered
opening number. The audience insisted on
an encore. When every one of the black
suited and white breasted young gentlemen
had disappeared in line the insistance was
so emphatic that they were forced to return
and give another number. The slee club
received an equally complimentary recep-
tion. Nor would its listeners let them of
without a recall after their singing of:
"a Song for Old Yale. for Brave Old Yale"
They sang again, and again were ap-
plauded, flowers tied with the college colors
being handed up to one young man who was
particular favorite. Two typical college
songs, Nellie Was Lady" and "Upidee,"
were rendered with acceptable spirit, after
which followed the song of "The Happlest
Land" a sentinento- pathetic lyric, founded
on translation of Longfellow. The re-
mainder of the programme was of like ma
ture to what has been mentioned and its
rendition was listened to with rapt atten-
ton The sa hall and galleries rt Sers
parties dotted the audience here and there
The clubs were entertained by the Yale
College Alumni afterward at the Duquesne
Club. They go from here to Cincinnati.
SOME of Stuart Robson's company are to
appear in plays which are not in the Robson
repertoire, and in which Mr.. Robson, If he
enacts role at all, will play the part
of useful, though not necessarily bril-
liant, supernumerary. Mr.. Aubrey Bouci-
cault, son of the syreat Dion,
and Miss Amy Busby have agreed
on joint starring tour through the
matrimonial world, with tile understanding
that one name will suffice for both, and thus
prevent the jealousies that have been
known to exist between plea and long
primer type as found in three sheets. Miss
Olive May, another charming young lady,
will also venture into the same world, where
the acquisitions OF laurels are SO few and
far between But starring is catching, and
the valet-Mr. Wooderson-and the maid
Miss Olive May-either are to be married,
are thinking of being married, or other
people are thinking that they are thinking
of being married.
AMONG the social engagements Of the

Christmas night-Dance at the Pittsburg
Club, given by Mrs. Joshua Rhodes and the
Misses Rhodes of Western avenue.
