One of the funniest trained animal shows
that has ever been seen in this city is given
at this house by Senorita Gilletta's perform
ing monkeys. These little long-lost cousins
OF ours seem to be natural comedians, and
people have roared at them for hours during
the last week. They ride bicycle races, put
on the gloves, and funniest of all shave each
other with wonderful mimicry of real bar
bers. Manager Keenan, said Yesterday that
he never tired of seeing the monkeys go
tarough their performance, and many others
like him have laughed till their sides ached.
Another natural wonder is promised for
this week in the shape of horse named
Maholnet. who can understand six different
languages. perform all sorts of mathematt-
cal problems, tell you how old you are and
do many other wonderful things. The per-
forming goats trained BY Prof. Matthews
and Signor Costillon's great troup of tropi-
cal and oriental birds will also continue to
astonish the audience with their intelli-
gence. In the theater O first rate variety
performance will be given by the original
Bostonian Speciality Company. All in all it
will be remarkably varied and amusing
entertainment, and the admission fee of 10
cents covers it all. The museum will be
open at 10 o'clock on Monday morning in
honor of Labor Day.

The DuQuesne and the Alvin will be the las

more than cleaning was needed to make the
beautiful theater ready FOR its second sea-
son, but while the public may not notice
much that is new a good bit Of work has
been done behind the scenes Additions
have been made to the stock OF scenery,
Mr.. Davis has bought a number OF new
pictures which will be hung in the front of
the house. and the apparatus for fighting
nre behind the footlights has been per-
fected. Mr.. Davis himself. since his return
last week from the Green Mountains of
Vermont has been busying himself with all
the various little matters about which the
public knew nothing, but which have to be
attended to before q theater is ready for
business. found MIR. Davis in the middle
of the stage the other day. He was seeing
that the floors were really scrubbed, and
that the stage carpenters and other hands
perspired properly. The work of supervis
ing kept him warm also, and he remarked
rs he mopped his face, which, by the way, is
smooth shaven once more; Il am confident
that the people who come to the Alvin this
season will admit that our line of attrac-
tions is the best to be obtained. Why have
even arranged to give Pittsburgers glimpse
OF myself in ALVIN Joslyn."

Mr., Henderson on Deck,

Manager David Henderson is in town. He
will stay here until his theater is launched
on the season of 1928. He is looking well,
and diet of an unadulterated success
seems to agree with him: singular TO say,
the swelling of his pocketbook being en-
tirely unaccompanied, as it so often is, by
an enlargement of the head. In course of
conversation with him yesterday MIR. Hen
derson said: at is my intention, to MAIN
tain the Duquesne's high standing as a first
class theater, and people can judge for
themselves whether the attra ctions booked
for the coming season at the Duquesne are
about us good they could possibly De-
'Sinbad' and Ali Baba' are, of course, keep
ing me pretty busy these days, and l am
happy to say that the former in New York
and the latter in Chicago are both meeting
with all the success l could desire. From
now on till the opening of the Worlds Fair
l shall be preparing for the run of these two
srectacles and a new version OF the Crystal
Slipper which will occur at my opera house
in Chicago next summer"

The Shakespearean actors of Of high rank
are getting very scarce, and now that Mr..
Booth has retired Mr Keene is almost alone.
In this critical city, where the amusement
going public have peculiar mode OF being
their own judges as to what they like ana
what they don't like, it is significant as q
fact, as well as complimentary to the taste
Of Pittsburgers that it was one OF the first
Of the larger cities to welcome Mr.. Thos. W.
keene as one of the great actors OF modern
times. Each succeeding year has his popu-
larity grown stronger. 1t was q wise move
on the part of the managers of the Duquesne
Theater to select MIR. Keene for the opening
attraction of the season, commencing Mon
day night next. During the engagement
the following standard plays, the most
brilliant of Nr. Keene's repertoire, will be
presented: Richard I'LL" "Richelieu"
"hamlet," Louis XI," "othello," "The
Merchant of Venice" In the character OF
Richard III it is now con ceded that he has
hardly peer on tile English speaking stage
In his portrayal we have all the violent
changes of the moods and passions of the
hump-backed tyrant forcibly impersonated-
He enters thoroughly into the spirit of his
scenes; he abhors himself for the maliorm-
RtiOns that nature has cursed him with and
gives way to q whirlwind of passionate in
vectiye, Indignantly resolving TO make his
mind as distorted as mis- body. The merit Of
his Richard, lies in the strength OF passion.
His solilOQuies are finely given, his stormy
scenes gleam with force and energy and his
simulated love for Lady Anne breathes the
warmth OF passion and desire. lie is not
uraily changeful and never seems to lack in
the finer shading of the part. As a whole,
the performance is generally strong.

On Monday, September 5, the Alvin will
open its season with THE Charity Ball.
This charming play will be interpreted by a
metropolitan cast of such coupotent actors
as Manager Daniel Frohman never fails to
send. The Charity Bal" has been seen here
before. so a detailed account OF the story is
needless. Il received its first production at
the New York Lyceum in the iail of 1889 and
ran there tor nearly year when it was sent
on The road, and has since then achieved as
great success as in the metropolis 1t is 4

ling scenes of comedy. The Charity Ball"
was written by Messrs. David Belasco and
II. {. DeMille, and is four-act society drama
OF New York life at the present time. David
BelaSco is a clever stage manager and
RdaDter, knowing the stage in every aspect,
and with keen eye to every dramatic scene.

scholarly attainments, and coming from a
literary family. Tne company has been
carefully rehearsed in New York at the
Lyceum and Manager Frobman has given
his personal attention to all the details with
view TO giving performance Identical IN
all respects with the original New York
This may be the last time for some sea-
sons at least that "rhe Charity Ball. will be
seen, since Mr.. Frohman's new plays are
crowding his resources so rapidly each year
that some OF the old ones must, perf9rce, be
shelved. New and handsome scenery has
been prepared and is carried by tie COM
pany, and this, together with rich costumes,
will add to the effectiveness of the{produc-
tion. The principal actors engag9u in the
representation are Messrs. Arthur Elliot,
Lincoln A. Nagenhols, Eorner HTanville,
Il. 4. Sheldon. Fred Conger, A. w. Gregory

Forepaush's Circus.

The Boston TTGnscTipt says Of this famous
circus which comes here September IL and
Is; "The three rings ana two stages are the
centers Of bewildering exploits of expert
jugglers, acrobats, dancers, trapeze per-
formers, athletes and the many and varied
attractions Of this wonderful show. The
races of course, arouse great enthusiasm, as
do the clever tricks of the performing dogs,
elephants horses and other animals The
performers of the Vaidis sisters, Miss Ash
ton and other professionals have never been
surpassed, and they alone are sufficient to
draw crowds. The great spectacle of "The
Fall OF Nineveh," which is now the opening
attraction of the long and varied pro-
gramme, is another special feature and is an
entertainment IN itself, with its scenic ef-
fects, gorgeous costumes, graceful dancing
and line musical accompaniment"

One of Chicaso's Big Plans,

Mr.. Henderson thinks that one of the
most wonderful things in or out of the
Worlds Fair next year in Chicago will be
the gigantic spectacular panorama planned
by Steele Mackaye, which will be q pic
torial history of America, as well as of its
discoverer, Columbus, since the day he set
sail from Palos. The dimensions of the
building in which this unique show is to be
given are immense. Think of an auditorium
500 feet long by 800 feet wide; think of stage
large enough to show the ocean rolling upon
the Spanish coast with shi bs at anchor OF
the actual size used by Columbusl Every
thing about the representations will be real;
there will not only be water for the ocean,
but the various moods of the sea in calm and
storm will be shown, and the wind will rise
and fill the sails of the ships and they will
sail away till by some ingenious contrtvance
they will seem to disappear below the hori-
zon. Steel Mackaye has put all his genius
into the machinery and wonnerful as 1t is it
will not surprise people who know Aaokaye
as much as the fact that he has already
touched some of the richest men in Chicago
for about $780, coo. Such men as George Pull
man and the Armours are heavily Interested
in the enterprise, and from all appearances
Mr.. Henderson thinks it is bound to sue
ceed. HEPBURN JOHNS.

Harris Theater,

One of BARLEY Campbelrs stirring dramas
comes to this theater this week. 1t is some
time since "a Heroine in Rags" was given
here, and it is stated that under its present
management it will be better produced than
ever. Katherine Rober will take the he
roine's role, and as she is an actress of abil.
ity and experience it may be expected that
the performance will be more than satisfac-
tory. The play offers some large opportuni-
ties for realistic scenery, and the snow-storm
and city fire will be reproduced it is said,
of the time of Louis XVIII. will be eX-
tremely gorgeous in color. As an additional
attraction La RegaloncItl, the child actress,
who did such a remarkable dance here with
"The Prodigal Father" will again show
what wonders she can do with her little

Miss se,ipman and sratrimopy

One OF the little points about which Miss
Minnie Seiigman was very positive when 1
talked with her last spring was that matri-
mOny was an obstacle in the path of an am
bilious actress. 1t is to be hoped that the
best young actress on the American stage
will not permit any such little thing as a
marriage TO sprig of Gotham aristocracy
interfere with her ambitions or perform
ances. The latest report is that Manager
Russell wants Miss Seligmanis husband to
take par$ in his new farcical comedy, "a
Fashionable Fad" or something of the sort.
II Mr. Cutting accepts this offer, leaving Miss
Seigman to star alone in SaEger's "My Of
fetal Wife," the problem of getting rid of
matrimonial Obstac cles will have been solved
Tor once, it would seem.

to serve you all with nice, clean, stylish

There are advantages to be gained by
buying early. Goods in stock used are made
up during a season when the makers are
not rushed, and then fine garments are put
together with care, finished to perfection and
no fault can be found since we examine
early arrivals critically and reject any that
cannot pass muster.
Prices are low enough, too, because it
would be folly to start the season with big
profits, which can only insure big losses

in that direction, be sure to SEE OUR
