Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-03-10
COMING PLAYS AND PLAYERS,

PITTsBURGERs have known Frederick
Paulding as handsome and dashing Romeo
to Miss Mather's Juliet, Captain Absolute with
Joseph Jefferson, and in other romantic
roles with Booth and Barrett and other
great actors. Next week they will have a
chance to see him at the Buou Theater in a
melodrama, of which he is proprietor and
star. This is 1.-THE Struggle Of Life" which
pense than any recent production. The
scenery is said to be really wonderful, and
the company contains other good actors
beside Mr.. Paulding.
AS vet Pittsburg has not seen Mrs. Leslie
Carter but it is to have the privilege next
week at the Alvin Theater, and in a very
amusing musical comedy called -"Miss
Helyett." The play has a new and alida-
ciously French plot, and contains very
funny If not very true picture of q sancti-
monious Quaker, who Is continually getting
off shrewd sayings like this: "A wise man
will accommodate himself to circumstances,
and take what he can get" The cast con-
tains such clever people as Mark Smith, M.
A. Kennedy, Harry Harwood, Laura Glenn
ent, Kate Davis and Mrs. Leslie Carter. :
"JuDAH" will take the place of "The Mid
dleman'' at the Duquesne Theater Thurs
day evening. 1t is also by Henry
Arthur Jones, and must certainly be q
play of considerable force and interest,
according to all accounts. Mr.. Willard as.
sumes more youthful character than the
old potter Cyrus Btenbdrn, and shows, it is
said, in the role Of young clergyman. who
is the hero of the play, new side Of his
art Miss Marie Burroughs, also, it is said,
mas larger opportunity to shine than she
had in 1.-The Middleman."
BILL NYE's dramatic effort, ''The Cadi," is
destined to burst upon bewildered public
next week at the Duquesne Theater. If the
about it from time to time, It ought to be
laughable enough. 1t is farce of new sort;
consisting chiefly of Nye's peculiar humor
done up in dramatic parcels. There are
many special features, and the company is
said to be uncommonly good.
The coming of Bernhardt is SO near at
hand, for she begins a weeks engagement at
the Alvin Theater on March q, that her
repertoire will prove of interest. Here it is:
Monday, GA Tosca:" Tuesday, "Leah;'
Wednesday, Fedora" Thursday, "Camille;"
cleopatra" Saturday evenings bill is not
determined yet.
STEELE MAcKAYE's powerful drama of the
French Revolution, "Paul Kauvar," with
Edward F. Snader in the title role, will be
the attraction at the Grand Opera House
next week. The leading lady in the cast is
of Diane, and is said to be very effective in
the part.
THERE are very few freaks of nature that
have such genuine scientific interest as
Krao. the girl who has SO many of the char
acteristics of the monkey. The Worlds
Museum Theater is being crowded day and
night with people who want to see what is
not un fairly termed 'the missing link"
EUeEN D'ALBERT, the pianist, of whom the
great critic Krehbiel says that he is the
greatest player heard here since Rubinstein,
will give a concert here on Monday even
ing, March 81, at Old City Hall. He is under
the management OF C. A. Ellis.
Ar Harry Davis Museum-Theater the
lion-faced woman is inspiring all beholders
with feeling of awe, so close is her resenl-
blance to the terocious lord of the jungle.
