production of Faust" Since last seen
here the weird and highly picturesque
play has been materially improved.
Long and costly experiments for pro
ducing a fash OF lighting in miniature
have at last proved successful The
mimic electric discharges from murky
clouds add considerably to the wild sub
Unity Of the tumultuous scene on the
summit of the Brocken
A musical novelty has been perfected
for heightening the effect of the church
scene, a chime of sweet toned bells ring
out full and clear while the worshipers
assemble as the lingering echoes OF the
bells die softly away, the voices Of the
singers anuounce the opening of the
services within the sacred edifice. Ap
poropriate orchestral music forms fit
ting accompaniment to several OF the
scenes. The musical selections given
with the action of the play comprise
gems from Gounod's Faust" excerpts
from the compositions Of Rossini. Mey-
erbeer and other great composers
Aside from the elaborate staging of
Faust" the drama is rendered in the
highest degree interesting by the com
pany.
The sale for reserved seats opens at

Pittsburg Theatres.
D'Ennery's great play, ''The Celebrat-
ed Case. will be the next magnificent
production at the Pittsburg New
Grand. This beautiful romantic drama
has never had an equal in stage litera-
ture at any period in the history of the
theatre tt is the model after which
every author since its production has
attempted to follow, but its successor is
yet TO come to light. Every element
necessary to the success of II play is con
spicuous in "The Celebrated Case. It's
comedy and pathos are skillfully blend
ed, and the spectator is alternately af-
fected by the sublime beauty of its love
interest, and by the rich. resistless
humor of its comedy elements.
An uncommonly good program has
been arranged for the Avenue. 1t EN-
byaces the dainty Parisenne chanteuse,
Patrice, who will present a delightful
little sketch, entitled "A New Years
Dream. Patrice is universally re
garded as the equal, in many respects,
and in some points the superior, of Anna
Held, who is just now occupying so
much attention. Her appearance at
the Avenue will be source Of more
than ordinary pleasure to the patrons of
this theatre The great mimic, Pitrot,
is also in next weeks bill
One ticket admits to both these enter
tainments, and the privilege to come
when you like and remain as long as
You like has struck a responsive chord
among the theater goers of Pittsburg
and the surrounding towns
