PARK THEATRE.

ANDREWS OPERA Co. DEC. 27-2S.
The Andrews opera company, which
appears at the Park Theatre Monday
and Tuesday Dec. 2l-25 with Matinee
on Tuesday is not stranger in Butler.
The artists which compose it have not
been seen here for several years, but
have many warm friends who Will re
ceive them with warm welcome.
Since the dIsbaDding of the Emma Alb
bott opera company it is now the oldest
opera company on the road. Its con-
tinued success is due to its honesty IN
keeping faith with the public, giving
clean, high grade productions of opera
at prices within the means of the peo-
pie The scarcity of good companies
giving the best standard opera makes
the coming of the Andrews company a
welcome incident in the theatrical sea
son.
"Flatons Martha will be the open
ing opera on Monday night Balfe's.
Bohemian Girl Tuesday night with
Gilbert and Sulvian's Pirates of Pen
rance" at the Tuesday matinee. The
regular seat sale will open Friday at
Reeds News Store.
NEXT WEEK IN PITTSBURG.
There is in course of preparation for
the coming week, beginning Monday
afternoon, Dec. 26th, Il production
which will excel anything which has
gone before at the Grand Opera House,
in the matter of superb scents sur
rounding. 1t is the great Wallack
Theater New York; success, The
Lost Paradise. 1t is safe to say that
| among the melodramas OF the last tif-
teen years, none have acquired better
| place in public esteem than this. Its
| title suggests an interesting theme, and
| its author, Henry G. DeMilne, has inn
parted to his work on this play, reflex
| of those fine qualities of mind and
heart, which were so characteristic of
| him during his lifetime. The story is
one of extraordinary interest, and now
and then a burst of melodrama is ac-
| eomplished which arouses the utmost
excitement in the audience. The par
| ticular feature of the Avenue vaude
| vile bill for next week, commencing
also at the Monday matinee, is the
brightest of all American entertain
ments, the delightful little songstress
and comedienne, Lydia Titus. This is
| the girl who, having made a deep inn
| preston upon her audiences in New
| York, went to London, Paris and Ber
| lin, three or four years ago, and i'm
mediately became more popular than
any of the artists in her line of work at
those European capitals. Miss Titus is
a remarkably handsome and v1yacious
| young woman, her voice is pure and
sweet, and her songs are all of the most
interesting sort. Assisting Miss Titus
in the entertainment are absolutely the
funniest men on the vaudeville stage,
they are Haines and Pettingill, who
call themselves two foolish fellows.
There are a dozen acts in the program
and they are all highly entertaining
characters The immense Christmas
tree in the Children's Miniature Thea
tire, which is presided over by Santa
Claus in person, is attracting immense
numbers of Juveniles every afternoon
and evening. These theatres have be
come immensely popular with the peo
pie of Pittsburg and the surrounding
country. Dadies' matinee parties arc
rapidly growing in favor, and there
are ten or more of these every after
noon in the week.
