The

Great Musical Festival.

Plans are now completed for the greatest Musical Festival ever given In Indianapolis. This has been achieved by the untiring efforts of Ona B. Talbot. Tho Festival will be given at Shubert Murat theatre, Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22.

The Sheffield choir of England and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra will participate.

Not only will Indianapolis, and the State as well, have opportunity then to hear two hundred of the finest voices in England, but also they will be privileged to hear two of the biggest choral works in musical literature sung under the personal direction of their composers. Sir Edward Elgar, the distinguished English musician who wrote "The Dream of Gerontius," will be in Indianapolis to conduct this work when it is sung Friday evening, April 21.

Dr, Charles Harris, composer of the symphonic choric idyl, "Pan," will conduct that work on the following afternoon and in the evening the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra will combine with the Sheffield choir in Beetho\%nJs Ninth (choral) Symphony.

These are features only—not the complete programs—but they give some idea of the magnitude of the festival which has been arranged by Ona B. Talbot. In addition to Sir Edward Elgar and Dr. Harriss there are two other notable conductors— Dr. Henry Coward, of the Sheffield choir, and Leopold Stokovski, of the Cincinnati orchestra.

Never, even in the days of the Indianapolis, May festivals, or in the present festivals of other cities, has a more important or comprehensive series of programs been arranged, either in the works offered or in the personality of those participating.

The progams bring together on one stage a magnificent choir of two hundred voices, a symphony orchestra of sixty-five musicians, four eminent conductors and two world-famous composers. Numbered among the members of the Sheffield choir are nine principals—or soloists—whose abilities have raised them high in the estimation of the English people.

To accommodate this great gathering of singers and musicians it will be necessary to make special preparations at the Murat theatre. The stage will be so arranged, with the addition of an elaborate superstructure, that the entire choir and orches-

ra will be presented to the best advantage. With this magnificent stage sett ng, and the big auditorium filled with the people who appreciate the importance of the event, Indiana and Indianapolis will have reached a new and advanced stage in musical development.

The Cincinnati Orchestra is well known in Indianapolis and this is as surance in itself that the orchestra will meet the demands made upon it in participating in the festival.

Seats for all the above concerts are now on sale at the Ona B. Talbot tic set office, Wulschner-Stewart Music Company, Indianapolis. Prices. Evenings, main floor, $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, $1.50. Matinee, main floor, $2.00, $1.50, $1.00.

All inquiries for tickets should be addressed to Ona B. Talbot. dlt-w6-13-20

Grand Theatre.

Charles E. Evans, one of the best known and most popular of American comedians, will be the headline attraction at B. F. Keith's Grand, Indianapolis, presenting the one act farce by George Arliss called "It's Up to You. William." Mr. Evans'has been the star of probably more comedy successes than any other actor of the present day, but he will be more readily recalled as the Charles E. Evans of Evans and Hoey of "A Parlor Match" fame. This is his first appearance in vaudeville, and he has surrounded himself with a company of exceptional artists, including Mr. Charles Wright, of Indianapolis. Miss Elizabeth Barry, Miss Helena Philips, and Miss Louisa Skillman. His sketch "It's Up to You William," is the liveliest sort of a farce, full of amusing situations, and with a laugh in every line. It is certain to prove one of the big laughing hits of the season and a headline attraction of a most noteworthy character.

The De Haven Sextette, with Sidney C. Gibson featured, is a pretty little singing and dancing ensemble act that has been playing in and around New York for more than a year. Its title is "The Understudy," which is suggested by the simple plot.

Julius Tannen, "The Chatterbox," is a natural monologist and brilliant wit. His performance is notable for its originality, his delivery being unique, and his personality unusual.

James Cook and John Lorenz, or Cook and Lorenz as they are more familiarly known, are back in vaudeville with an offering of chatter and song they call "The Two Millionaires."

The Three Shelvey Brothers will present a sensational gymnastic act Paul Nevins and Ruby Erwood are a versatile pair who do some remarkably clever singing and dancing Scheda, the renowned Polish violinist is a masterful artist on his chosen instrument Sam Goodwin and Ada Elliott, presenting novelty in music which they call "The Hick Chorus Girl and the Music Publisher," will complete a bill full of brightness, interest and fun.

Montgomery and Stone in "The Old Town" will be the attraction at English's Opera House, Indianapolis, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 6, 7, 8, with a Saturday matiee. Briefly the story concerns two
