SOCIETY, MUSIC AND AET. [AH matters of interest and items of news, whether fat the city or State, proper for this department, will he printed if properly authenticated.] Review of the Week’* Events. In society matters there has been considerable activity in Indianapolis during the past week. uch as afternoon receptions, high teas and eoffee suppers. Among the prominent events were the luncheon given by Mrs. S. A. Johnson, file “teas’’ given by Miss Celia Mansur and Mrs. Asa Sammons, and the receptions given by Mrs. C. D. Meigs. Mrs. T. A. Lewis and others, at which the guests were all representative society people, and the appointments were elegant and in the most approved “good form.” The musical feature was Josefify’s recital, which afforded the lovers of music a chance to notice the wonderful technique of this masterly performer upon the piano, and the pleasure of hearing this artist render his own beautiful composition entitled, “At the Spring.’’ Aside from this concert there has been little of note, with the exceptiomof the excellent programme presented by the Matinee Musicals. the fine organ recital of Mr. Clarke. As an innovation, it may be noted that church societies have a tendency to get away from the old-time custom of the stiff “church socials, ’’ and are devising various measures for pleasing and attracting the social world in the form of high teas given by different organizations, with ladies dressed in charming costumes, with pretty caps and aprons, to play the role of hostess in their various departments. There are few who enjoy the frigid formality of a not overly genial church social. There i3 so often a painful sense of being a “wall flower 7 mingled with the small amount of pleasure one derives from such gatherings that the effect is withering. On the other hand, the introduction of high teas, coffee gatherings and various other forms of entertainment would be a commendable relief. Society.

Eureka Hall was chosen as the scene of the festive occasion, and over three hundred guests, in full evening toilets, appeared, at the hour designated, to witness the marriage rite of the high contracting parties. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Phistor, of the Lutheran Church. Tho hall was handsomely decorated with tropical plants and cut flowers. The stage formed a perfect bower of vines, behind which, entirely obscured from the guests, was Carrier's orchestra, which played the wedding march as the bridal cortege entered. The bride was attended by Miss Belle Smith, the sister of the groom, Miss Mary Muhlhajiser and Miss Matilda Floto, of Chicago. Mr. Will Sharpe, Mr. P. L. Wright and Mr. Sam Carey acted as groomsmen. The ushers were Messrs. Reynolds, Nichols and Walton, of this city. The marriage ceremony took place the opposite end of the hall from the orchestra, under a large canopy of smilax, from which was suspended a butterfly of different colored roses, above which was a floral monogram of the contracting parties. After tho congratulations, the bridal train led the grand march around the halt, thence down to the elegant collation served. The tables were beautifully decorated, at each plate being a button-hole bouquet aud a box of wedding cake, with the card of the happy couple. After the repast dancing was enjoyed until the “wee sma’ hours.” The bride was attired in a magnificent toilet of white corded ottoman silk, the front, sleeves and corsage thickly studded with seed pearls. Old point lace, fastened by diamond ornaments and the bridal veil crowned by orange blossoms, finished this exquisite attire.

The Kensington Club of Shelbyville gave an entertainment on Thursday evening, at the elegant residence of Mr. John H. Leefers, which was largely attended.

manner, and Messrs. Hazzard and Ellston contributed a vocal duet] in their most excellent style. This society is progressing rapidly under the fine leadership of Ora Pearson. Zelda Segnir.-Wallace is arranging for the production of two new operas next season with out chorus. Several years ago a company from Boston traveled all over the East, giving a repertoire of standard operas with simply the ensemble. They met with success and there is no reason why Mrs. Wallace should not. If the Apollo Quartet eould be induced to give a concert in this city during the Legislative session, we feel certain that their friends would respond in such a manner as to convince them that their efforts are highly appreciated. They have sung in nearly all the adjacent cities; why not allow their home admirers to tender them the receipts of a full house. On last Monday afternoon onr citizens had the pleasure of listening to Rafael Joseffy, one of the world’s celebrated pianists, at the musicrooms of D. H. Baldwin. The marvelous technique of this superb artist is wonderful to listen to. His style is particularly pleasing in florid music, requiring nicety of touch and tone shades of expression. Mr. Joseffy will be heard again in this city in March. A musical and literary entertainment will be given to-morrow eveniue by the O'Connell Branch No. 1 of the E. B. A at Emerald Hall. Among the vocalists selected for the occasion are Mrs. W. C. Lynn, Miss Jessie Meek, Miss Anna Abromet and Andrew Smith.

Mr. Barclay Walker, whose reputation as a pianist and a composer has placed him a peer of any of our State musicians, has determined to spend a portion of his time in teaching the pianoforte. In placing himself before the public as an instructor he need have no fear of the result being a success. He is a close student, and has long enjoyed the reputation of a thorough musician. Mr. Walker’s latest composition is tenor solo, entitled ’’Haunting Eyes. ’ It will, no doubt, reach a large sale. The programme for the grand concert to be given on Thursday evening of the week of the military carnival commencing Feb. 17, is as follows: Symphony Orchestra. Solo * Mr. Levi. Violin solo M. H.

Miss Howland and Mesdames Railsback, James Lambert. Bowers and Mrs. Joe Beck. Mrs. Culbertson i9 engaged upon an architectural painting called “The Old Canal Dordrecht” She has just finished a painting of Manhaden Beach. The scene is full of a weird beauty that is fascinating. It represents a bit of dull, gray sky, overhanging a low stretch of sand, upon which lies an old weather-beaten boat. All members of the Art Association and all friends of art are invited to meet at the Art School on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 3 p. m., to hear a paper by Miss Marie Bright, on “Greek Sculptures, Paintings and Vases.” The paper will be illustrated by talk and in other ways; in part by some casts from the Townly marbles (now in the British Museum), which are at the Art School, English Building, Circle.

THEATRICAL ADVERTISING. • • What It Costs to Advertise a Show—Lithographs, Suipes, Hangers and Pictures. “How important jl part does advertising play in the success of theatrical ventures!" asked a Journal reporter of W. O. Wheeler, yesterday, who was formerly connected with the Journal, and is well known to its readers. Mr. Wheeler has made a reputation in the profession this season by the thorongh and persistent manner in which he has kept the attraction with which he is associated before the public. The movements of stars, the dresses and jewelry of actresses and kindred subjects have frequently furnished matter for the interviewer’s pencil, while the valuble work of the modest and unassuming advance agent (diligent search for an advance agent who is otherwise than modest and unassuming has failed of result) has seldom had its chronicler. “That depends,” suggested Mr. Wheeler. “Occasionally an attraction has success forced upon it, but that is the rarest of rare occurrences. Then, again, meritorious entertainments have been placed before the public by skilled advertisers in a manner that seemed to leave nothing to be de sired, and yet have been left severely alone by the public. A good rule is, 'first catch your rabbit.’ By that I mean, first get something that the public will accept as an entertainer: then advertising of the judicious and wellconsidered order can be made to have telling effect on the value of your attraction. “Now, if you will allow me to make an example of the attraction with which I am associated,” continued Mr. Wheeler, “I think I can give you interesting points as to the manner of advertising a theatrical venture, its cost and the bearing it has upon success. “ 'The Corner Grocery’ was an absolutely unknown comedy, and Mr. Sully comparatively unknown as an actor at the beginning of the present season. Such knowledge as was had by the general public came through the success of the star and comedy in its long New York city engagement, but New York successes and road successes are not always synonomous. Not doubting, however, that ‘The Corner Grocery’ could be made to ‘go’ upon the road, we gave it the benefit of thorough equipment in the way of advertising material, and it is a matter of common consent in the profession that it has been well ‘boomed,’and more credit for this is due to Mr. Sully than to any one else. Liberality is one of the greatest factors in successful advertising, and he possesses that quality. “But to be pointed, take, for instance, such a city as Chicago. Os first importance, of course, is newspaper advertising. Its inestimable value has been proven by such managers as Hayden with Tom Keene and Hill with Denman Thompson and Margaret Mather, and in Chicago and other cities page advertisements have been used to boom these stars. But the average advance agent’s pride is in his ‘wall-pa-per,’ his ‘lithographs.’ his ‘hangers,’ his ‘dodgers.’ his ‘snipes,’ his ‘folders’ and such special schemes as hie ingenuity may devise. The designing and printing of pictorial wall-paper is an extensive enterprise. Among the principal firms patronized by the profession are Kichardson & Foos, A. S. Seers & Cos., the Metropolitan Job Company, all of New York city, the Cincinnati Enquirer Company, the Buffalo Courier Company, the Hasselman Company; the Detroit Free Press Company and the National Printing Company, of Chicago. Stand work varies in size and expense. The average number of sheets I use in a city such as Chicago is two thousand, and this is at an average cost of six eents a sheet. In lithographic work the leading firms are Morgan & Cos., of Cleveland, the Strobridge Company, of Cincinnati, the Courier Company, of Buffalo, the Henry Seibert establishment, of New York, and the Forbes Company, of Boston. Lithographic work is had at an average cost of eight cents a sheet, the cost depending upon the quality of work and the number of colors used. Matt Morgan is considered one of the best of designers and the Strobridge and Morgan companies are furnishing the most artististic work. Twentyfive hundred lithographs, in sheets, half sheets and quarter sheets, is my average use, and the expense is $125 per week. Add to this the weekly use of 100,000 dodgers, 5,000 pamphlets. 15.000 ■picture cards and other devices, and the expense of advertising for one week, exclusive of newspaper work, will roach an average of $375. Not many attractions bill so heavily, and perhaps S2OO, or less, would cover the general average. Special schemes are in great favor and of good value. I have distributed thus far this season one thousand gross of boxes of matches. This scheme has found favor with cigar dealers and patent medicine men, and as many of them have accepted the idea I have substituted boxes of tolu. In Louisville I made an order for one million cakes of this article to be used in advertising 'The Corner Grocery.’ I will copyright this scheme and endeavor to reap the benefit myself if there is any merit in it.” * Mr. Wheeler is counted among the very best men in his branch of the profession, and to his untiring and exceptional ability the fact that his show has already made a profit of $15,000 on the season is largely due.
