PLAYS TO COME.

| THE coming to Pittsburg of the Ford En-
| glish Comedy Company, of Baltimore, anc
| the production of Goldsmith's "She Stoops
| to Conquer at the Grand Opera House next
Monday evening, is likely to prove q note
worthy social event. Pittsburg has been
selected for the Inauguration of this new de
parture in the dramatic field, and by com
pany which seems likely to prove q first
class organization. At its head Is young
Wilfred Clarke, whose comedy work with
the Booth Barrett combination last season
was made the subject of such unqualified
praise wherever the great tragedians ap.
peared, and in leading support Miss Martha
Ford, the graceful debutante who was SO
kindly received upon her appearance with
Julia Marlowe last season. These two clever
artists, supplemented by Messrs. R. F. Nc
Clannin, Walter Hale, w. II. Bolzee, w. II.
Dupont, John s. Calvert, w. W. Keefer and
the Misses Adella Sawyer, Helen Mar, Ruth
Chamberlain and Elizabeth Carroll Lackey,
the latter the neice of the millionaire pro-
prietor of the Baltimore Sun, form the cast
that will interpret Goldsmith's brilliant
comedy.
"THE SrowAwAY," which met with some
favor in Pittsburg three years agowill make
its temperance on next Monday night at
the Duquesne Theater. IL is equipped for
this occasion in a manner that fairly over
shadows anything ever before attempted on
the stage. The yacht scene will be entirely
new, and will prove a revelation even to
those who saw it before. spike Hennessey
and "Iid" Mccoy, the safe burglars, are still
on hand to exhibit their skill in the safe
cracking business. The cast, as well as the
scenery, is better than before, including such
people as Mark Lynch, Harry Booker, J. P.
Smith, Joseph Slaytor, Frank Richardson,
R. j. Moye, Leonora Bradley, Ellen Moretta,
Libby Kirke and Margaret Robinson.
Miss RosABEL MORRISON will be at the
Bijou Theater next week in the well-known
American dramatist's, Henry C. De Miles
comedy-melodrama "The Danger SignaI'
Miss Morrison is well known for her clever
rendition of Marguerite in Lewis Morrison's
grand production of "FausG." De Miles
latest play, 1.-THE Danger Signal" is said to
be q strong drama. In the scene of the snow
blockade in the Rocky Mountains monster
locomotive and cyclone snow plow come
steaming on the stage under full headway,
throwing the snow in all directions, making
1t one of the most realistic scenes on the
American stage. The sale of seats will COM
mence this morning.
AN incident of the Fayette County Fair, at
Uniontown, was noted Wednesday night in
the fact that the hotels were so crowded that
the Ford English Comedy Company, stopping
there on their way to P1ttsburg for the en-
gagement here next week, had to sleep in
the Pullman palace drawing room car in
which the company travels.
THIS evening at the "Fall of Pompeii'' will
be German night, and a likeness of the
Kaiser and the prettiest lady in America
will be among the set pieces of fireworks.
Saturday night has been set apart as
another children's night-the last of the
season.
PHOTOGRAPHS of James Reilly and h is two
charming little assistants, Hans and Eta,
will be given to every lady at the matinee at
the Bijou on Saturday, as the supply of
these pretty souvenirs was not equal to the
demand at yesterdays matinee.
THE Cleveland minstrels at the Duquesne
will make several important changes and
additions to their programme nightly from
now on.
