REVIEW OF REVIEWS

To the reader, thinker and student Of current events, no periodical in the United States will prove more interesting and instructive at this period of unusual political and social change and reform than the old well established and time-tested REVIEW OP REVIEWS. No better corps of writers and thinkers can be found contributing to any other magazine in America and their subjects cover the complete

I

scope of current questions, progress and events. Its columns are not only authoritive text-books but genuine encyclopedias of reliable information.

The December number contains in addition to many others, articles upon, "The Swing of the Political Pen-

%luleum

"Cause of Republican De­

feat "Roosevelts Part in the Affair "Working Basis of Republican Harmony "Wilson's Stalking Success," as Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey "Harmon and the Man for 1912 "The Next House and Cannonism "Progress of Woman Sufferage "Progress of the Canal, the Cost of Living Decreasing."

Teachers' Wages Boosted. Teachers in Indiana celebrated Thanksgiving with more ferver after learning that the individuals of their profession are doing better financially than they were a year ago. The average daily wage of Indiana for the iiscal year of 1909-10 was $3.29. During the year. of 1908-09 the]|average •wage was $2.97.

Both of these averages, complied in the state department of public instruc tion, are considered high because in them is'contained the average salaries of superintendents, which run higher than the teachers' pay. The increase the last year is attributed partly to the 1909 examination law which has spurred teachers to greater efforts, as they are now paid according to the grade they make.

THE FLAMING ARROW

Beautiful Story of Army and Frontier (Life Among the Indians

"The Flaming Arrow," a popular Western play by Lincoln J. Carter, depicting life as it really was in the vicinity of the famons Ft. Reno in the pioneer days, will be presented at Rogers' opera house next Saturday evening. It is historieal founded upon incidents that happened around the United States fort in Indian days. The story is delightful throughout. It is centered around "White Eagle" an educated Indian brave and 'White Lillie" the beautiful daughter of Col. Fremont of the United States Army. The characters include frontiersmen. United States soldiers and real Indians. The company carries its own military band. The play instructs, entertains and amuses the masses. The scenery is most picturesque and beautiful, and gives life and realistic effect to a most delightful play. The presence of real Indians, and the historic basis of frontier life among the soldiers, Indians and scouts, makes the play one of unusual interrst.

Amusements

Murat Theatre.

Lew Fields' mammoth, musical production, "The Midnight Sons" with practically the same cast which was seen for 36 weeks at the Broadway Theatre, New York, comes to the Shubert Murat Theatre, Indiauapolis, on Monday night. This engagement is for three nights with usual matinee on Wednesday, December 5-6-7.

The play is truthfully said to be the biggest production both scenically and in point of largeness of cast, of any musical play ever sjtaged. The featured scene (there are ten in all) shows the tiers of boxes, the orchestra seats, the balcony and even the gallery of a practical theatre. It is this reproduction so faithfully carried out which has caused "The Midnight Sons" to be talked of from one end of the country to the other. Much credit, of course, should be given to the principal porfoifners who add so much to the interest and fun of the play, for while the audience tifkes home delightful memories of the picturesque phase of the piece, they derive much enjoyment from the fun and buffoonery of the comedians.

The production is transported from city to city by special train, six cars of which are required to haul the scenery, costumes and the^ mechanical and electrical effects. Some idea as to the extent of the wardrobe department may be gained from the fact that there are eighty members of chorus, .both girls and boys, while the cost of 125 people is augmented in each city by two hundred supernumeraries, who are employed to take part in the theatre scene.

The book of the piece is by Glen McDonough, and the music by Raymond Hubbell. Ned Weyburn, the stage manager for Mr. Fields, put on the production. The piece will be given here in its entirety by the original metropolitan. cast, including George Monroe, Harry Fisher, Maude Lambert, George A. Schiller, Denman Maley, Marcia Harris, Allan Brooks, Gus Baci and a special vaudeville company, including the Marvellous Millers, Gladys Moore, the English Pony Ballet and a few more. Seats now on sale. Night prices 50c to $2.00. Matinee prices 50c, 75c and $1.00 for for the best seats. Mail orders will be reserved in the order of their re Jfeipts.
