Tbe.Kcrjjon Opera Souse, In Pittsburgh, Pa., which opened last March tor a short sea- son of vaudeville, was entirely remodeled, and Is now practically a new playhouse, and re- named the Pitt Theatre. It la under the per- sonal direction of Managing Director William Moore Patch, who was formerly dramatic critic of The Pittsburgh Dispatch. This new venture opened Its doors on Saturday evening, Sept. 6, wlrh a high class stock company, headed by Mary Hall and Robert decider, who are prime favorites In that city. "Sis- ter Beatrice" was the Initial attraction, to- gether with "Don," making a very pleasant evening's entertainment lie theatre la very beautifully decorated In robin egg blue, touched with gold, and lighted cameos in the balcony ran tend to beautify Its appearance. The entire light- ing effect Is soft, and so arranged that not a balb Is visible. Large, roomy seats are so placed aa to command a full view of the stage from any part of the bouse and spe- cial attention was given the retiring rooms for ladles and gentlemen. The opening performance as given by the Pitt Players, was splendid In every detail, having been produced under the direction of Frederick Esmleton. The work of the entire company was of tbe highest order. Miss Hall and Mr. Gleckler were welcomed back by continuous applause, and acknow- ledged the reception In clever little speeches. The company also Includes: Franklin B. Trosh, Florence Fllnn, Lois Mille r, Maurice Schoenfleld, Louis Klmbail, WKvlda MIU1- son, Marlon Abbott, Richard Dlx, Mrs. Louise Rial, Norah Lamlson, Jeanette Davis, Clara Whipple, Marjorle Barrett, Gertrude Watchers, Marls Sybert. Flor- ence Marlyn. Lois Blair, Maurice Burr, Edw. De Luc, wm. Bonnelli and Nellie Granville. A very representative audience was m at- tendance on opening. Including Gov. Tener, of Pennsylvania, and r.umerous dramatic critics from New York, Philadelphia and Chi- cago as greats of Director Patch. ——— » "GUEST ARTISTS." B, F. Keith has approved en Innovation in the cnstlnj of the more difficult drama* and musical plays at his Crescent, Grcenpolnt and Gotham Theatres, which, as planned by Gen- eral Manager Maloney, promises to greatly Increase the artistic efficiency of these cele- brated stock companies. Hereafter Import- ant productions will draw upon the com- bined strength of the three organizations, and the company so formed will visit each theatre Intact "Madame Sherry," as an example, Is a musical play requiring the Bervlcea of artists of a type that Is scarce ■a stock companies. Out of the three com- piles under Mr. Maloney'B direction he has selected, however, an Ideal cast for the pro- auction of the famous piece la the near [Store. "Madame Sherry" would have been out of the question for nny one of the com- panies alone, but with players picked from ine trio, according to their fitness for the roles, iri e ,v resu " Promises to be a stock triumph. tutnerto "extras" have been engaged for roles unfitted for the personnel of the stock companies but hereafter by allowing artists to visit as It were from bouse to house on the Keith circuit they will be enabled to luinu every demand made by General State wrector Masson and will have the oppor- tunity for big roles that might otherwise go to outsiders. In Germany and on the Continent where |ots system prevails the players appear- ing outside of their permanent organization are known sa "guest artists." Mr. Keltb nas endorsed General Manager Maloney's E*n to adopt the "guest artists" system In Brooklyn and thus weld the Crescent, Oreen- pe-nt and Gotham players Into one big artistic family. This will also facilitate re- ■ tarsals ns there will be no loss of time py strangers familiarizing themselves with me methods of the resident playera. TWENTY-SEVEN OFFERS. „, w - S.

OF FAT Texas Guinan, Star of the "Passing Show" Company, Offers Her Own Marvelous New Treatment to Fat Folks NEW TREATMENT 0IVES ELEGANCE OF FIGURE AND STARTLING RESULTS QUICKLY If You Are Fat and Want to Be Thin, You Can Reduoe aa Many Pounda aa You Desire by This Astonishing New Method As Texas Guinan had to perform at the matinee It seemed the easiest thing In the world to arrange an interview without con- sulting her. The vigilant stage door keep- er was easily passed. Tbe dressing room was hospitably turned open by a maid, and then—well, Miss Guinan, that Is, what Is left of her, appeared. "So you have come to learn the story of my weight reduction, have you?" said Texas In her breezy atyle, with her glorious counte- nance benmlng In smiles at her supreme glad- Dess, realising how appreciative ths world was In bestowing admiration and applause upon her, all on account of the new glory of her form, which she transformed almost as it by magic with her own marvelous treatment. "While you are not going to get away with my secret" said Texas, "It Is true that my seventy pounds of weight reduction was brought about with my own delightful treatment, but it cost me a pretty sum of money to learn of It. and I am not giving my « secret of how I lost my weight free to reporters, but I have written a boow telling all about this won- drous new treatment which rescued me from tbe thrall- dom of fat This book has lust come off tbe press and is offered free to fat bur- dened men and women, aa I early learned In life that the only way to know happiness was to stive It to others, and if by letting tbe world know of this harmless, quick method of reducing weight I can do a great good, then I will feel that I have not lived In vain." "But won't you give me an ink- ling of its component parts? Just a suggestion as to what It is, or will I have to be content to read your free book telling all about It?" "That Is exactly it." said Texas, "but I don't mind telling you what the treat- ment is not. It does not consist of In- ternal drugs or medicine; there Is nothing to take Internally. Neither is there any pink colored camphor water, or worthless, harmful stuff to rub on the body. There Is no sweating, no bondages, no Turkish baths. The treatment does not consist of a single exercise or physical culture of any description. There is no diet. One may absolutely eat all the food they de- sire of any kind, and go right on reducing without depriving themselves In any way. "There are no enemas or flushing of the colon, no harmful massaging, no sweat- ing garments to wear, no Immersing your- self in hot baths with tbe tub filled with obesity water or epsosn salts, nor does it include any medical concoction of any doctor, and It has nothing to do with any drug store prescription to have tilled. There Is no formula to carry out no soaps to rub on the akin: neither Is It a relig- ious faith cure or Christian Science stunt. It is not a vibratory electric massage treatment, mental suggestion—no, and it Is not a belt or mechanical device of any kind. "I have tried many such fakes. I tried drugs, pills, capsules, harmful concoctions to rub on the body. I have tried sweat- ing and taking Turkish baths, exercising physical culture and everything known to science without result, and without losing weight. Aa I was about to despair and give up la disgust all further ef- forts to reduce my enormous weight, which was two hundred and four pounds, 1, by lucky accident, learned of the most simple, harmless, rapid, safest fat reducing treat- ment on earth. I tried it on myself with astonishing results. My friends stood aghast In amazement, marveling at the wondrous change In my appearance. My fat Just rolled away. After the first three days I Dotlced it beginning to leave me. My re- MISS TEXAS GVINAK, God's Masterpiece, and the Most Fascinating; Actress In America. ductlon grew greater until Anally, i waa almost appalled with delight when 1 realised the stupendous success of my efforts and when I awoke to tbe fact that I had re- duced 70 pounds of my fat without leav- ing a wrinkle, and the glory of my new figure and the grace and beauty of my curves gave an the admiration of the world. I enjoyed the triumph of my life and the success of my whole career when my man- ager, Mr. Sbubert, on account of my glorious new figure, rnado me the star of the 'Pass- ing Show.' and, mind you, this very same mnnager had said 1 was doomed to oblivion Just a short time before when I tipped the scales at two hundred and four pounds. I was crushed and bowlldored when he told roc ho could aot give me a part In tbe 'Pass- ing Show' unless I could reduce my enormous weight, and my heart hangs heavy with the memorv of the fat days that are gone when my fat, ungainly figure made me realize that I was doomed lo despair and failure. "My success In reducing my own fat ?roves that there Is no such word as 'fall.' simply would not be resigned to my fate, and although everyone said 'Texas, there Is no way one of your dilemma,' and told ma that no fat reducing specialist could reduce my weight. I determined not to glvo up In despair, with the result that I absolutely conquered rny fat. My new, great book on obesity, which gives full particulars of raj simple, safe, quick, harmless fat reducing treatment, Is now ready and will bo aont free to all who wish to reduco their weight any number of pounda." It la simply astonishing the furor tbls now treatment la causing among the in- timate friends of Miss Guinan to whom she has given it. A Icttor from the world's most famous dnuccr. La Pctlto Adelaide, says: "Dear Miss Oulnan: Lot met con- gratulate you upon the high excellence of jour remarkable new obesity treatment, which I find reduces mo aa rapidly as I desire. Sincerely, Adelaide." Other letters of pralso and gratltudo are pouring In to Miss Guinan from all parts of the country from those who have reduced with hor suc- cessful treatment. .Louise Brnnelle. the Quaker maid, one of tho earth's greatest beauties, states she lost 10 pounds the Drat week, with this astonishing now treatment. It la said this remarkable treatment \\ not unllko the treatment osod by tho court Udlos and the famous actresses of the Old World, who have been using a similar remedy throughout Europe, and tho remarkable thing Is that Texas Guinan is tho first to Introduco It In America. Her free book, which Is now roadv for distribution, should l>o requested by all who desire quick reduc- tion. It is wrltton In a fascinating style, it explains how, by her treatment, Texas (•ulnan, who Is acknowledged America's most successful star, reduced her own weight Buventy pouuds, and conquered tho monster This glorious little woman Is doing her utmost lo boneflt fat men and women who nro In need of a perfect homo treatment Everything will bo sent to you in a per- fectly plain nackage so that In your own room, away from all prying eyes, you may plan to reduco your weight at once.
