Jlra. Leallc Carter In "Zain" at Knsrllhn Opera Ifnnae. Mrf. Leslie Carter made her first appearance In "Zaza." at English's Opera. House, last night, and her triumph was none the less great because It was long-deferred. Mr. Belasco's play has been much talked and written about ever since It was first" produced In New Yorkj. yet one must eelt for himself to realize Its full power and charm. Words could scarcely convey an adequate Idea of the realism of the production, to say nothing of Mrs. Carter's wonderful portrayal of the life and regeneration of Zaza, the apparently soulless creature of dance halls and cafes chantant. The first act shows the rear of the stage of a provincial concert hall at Saint Etierme, and the Interior of Zaza's dressing room. A piece is In progress on an invisible stage, the coryphees flit In and out, the leading people pass through the doors and are greeted effusively by tha imaginary audience. An exquisite touch of realism is added by the property man showing how the hoofbeats of a horse are simulated. The real audience applauded vociferously when the biff sheet of tin was shaken vigorously, producing the "thunder," and two live wires were passed over each other, causing vivid flashes of "lightning." Stage realism has seldom been carried to such a daring point before. Perhaps the delicate senses of some were shocked at tight of ballet girls, of the type made familiar by the facile brush of Archie Gunn. standing, walking und darting about In every poso suggested to the abandon of women of that class. Perhaps, too, some were shocked at the way Zaza showed how a concert hall "leading lady" prepa-ea herself to dazzle the public. It must be ad,wltted that the lirst act of the play, while graphic and Interesting, la & trifle strong lor - a refined audience. Yet this sort of thing is dubbed art and people flock by the hundred to ee it, so managers can scarcely be blamed. "Zaza" Is undeniably naughty, and the public knew that fact before they entered the theater. Hut if one can withstand the looer portions of the play, there 1 a moral to It all. The wisdom of inculcating a moral by it theatrical production which, if Riven to the public In the form of a novel, would be read only surreptitiously, may be doubted, huwever. It was a tribute t Mr. Carter' art that she could act the part of such a woman as Zuta with such consummate ability as to wring applause even from people who must have had art" abhorrence for the creature she portrajred. In the never-to-be-forgotten fourth acl, in the quarrel scene, where Zaza told Renin ni In words that cut like knivew how hv h;Jl allowed her to Live him when he krtqw; t$ was bound to another, ending up by ravInjr. "You had no rlisht. you hail no Yigrht 'to do It." arid throwing hersc!f on the divan, a crushed, convulsively soobing piece of femininity, the work of the actress attained Its Kre;itet height of dramatic power and the pause that ensued was broken by applause that fairly shook the house. It was a brilliant triumph, even though gained by the delineation of a character almost thoroughly bad. Again tha actress triumphed In the oene tnal quickly followed, that which shows Zaza's clever subterfuge of making Hernard believe she h. told hi wir everything in order to fTce him to show what a despicable man he really was. The last scene seemed unnecessary, except to display a bit of gorgeous scenery. It simply retold what wan known at the conclusion of the fourth that Zaza had torn Hernard from her life on account of thy child Toto. The company supporting Mrs. Carter Is excelle.it. except, perhaps. Charles A. Stevtnson. who need not be excepted had he maintained to the end the how of ability made in the curly portion of the play.

A o tew f the Muur, Mary Norman Is giving an uncommonly clever burlesque ntj various form of society girl (Chicago. New York and Iloston) at the (irand Opera House this week.

A number of entertaining specialties will be introduced In the course of the performance, among them being an act by John T. Tierney. favorably remembered by his interpretation of the star part in that funny farce, "The Hustler." XXX A pleing feature of the performances every afternoon and evening next week by Ferris's Comedians will be the Introduction of clever vaudeville numbers between acts, thus doing away entirely with Irksome intermissions. The engagement will beln Mondav afternoon. with "The Plunger," which will give way Wednesday afternoon to "The Fatal Card." that piece yielding in turn Friday afternoon to "The Stowaway." y x x The twentieth and last week of vaudeville at the Grand Opera House will be inaugurated next Monday afternoon with a programme headed by Jules Lvy. the eminent cornet virtuoso, whose artistic triumph? in Europe and America will be long remembered by music lovers. In addition ther will be a thrilling blgycle performance by Ralph Johnson: a little play by Mr. Sims and Miss Anpeles; an operatic burlesnue by Talbot and Davidson, tenor and baritone comedians, and other good acts. x x x There Is a delicate and beautiful bit of pathos in the great tableau in the Mansfield production of "Kin?

X x x Victor Herbert Is equally as famous In the field of operitiu composition as he is in that of orchestral direction. Some of his popular compositions are "The Ameer," "The Idol's Eye" and "The Wizard of the Nile." played by Frank Daniels; "The Fortune Teller" and "The Singing Girl." played by Alice Neilsen; "Cyrano de Rergerac," played by Francis Wilson, and "Prince Ananias." "The- Serenade" and "The Viceroy," played by the Bostonians. Mr. Herbert and his renowned orchestra of sixty skilled players will give a concert In English's Opern Houie Saturday night of the current week. Extra features will be the appearance for the first time here since his sojourn In Europe of Master Thad Rich, the justly celebrated Indianapolis boy violin virtuoso, and the return of Mme. Fannie Bloomfleld-Zeisler, whose remarkable piano playing has won her triumphs in all cities in which she has appeared.

LABOR DIFFICULTIES. Some Plumber Refuse to iio to "Work Plasterer' Strike. The master plumbers, who attempted to send out helpers with their journeymen plumbers yesterday morning discovered that they had no plumbers to go to work. The master plumbers were notified a month ago that the Journeymen plumbers would refuse to work with helpers after May 1, and yesterday morning they carried out their Intention without ceremony. The purpose of this is to do away with the apprenticeship system for a time, until there is a greater demand for plumbers. The union contends that there are now more plumbers than work. The master plumbers are divided as to the justice of the demand, some favoring it and others opposing It. Plasterer on Strike. A3 scheduled, the union plasterers refused to go to work yesterday morning becAuse they were not granted an increase in wages of 10 cents, an advance from 40 to CO cents an hour. The union represent but about one-fifth of the total number of .plasterers in Indianapolis, and for that ieason It is said they will have difficulty in getting their demands. The union men are already being paid 5 to 10 cents mote on the hour than nonunion plasterers, and the union contractors say they cannot compete with the nonunion contractors and Mill pay higher wages. They contend that they have already lost many big jobs because they were underbid by contractors employing cheaper labor, and unless the union gives them protection, they cannot maintain present prices. . They say they are not adverse to paying the union scale if the union gives them the proper protection from nonunion competition. Tailors' Strike to End Soon. There are signs of the Journeymen Tailors' Union and the Merchant Tailors' Exchange getting together, and it is believed that a settlement will be reached to-day or to-morrow. State Labor Commissioner McCormack has had the matter in hand for several days and It is said that the halfstrike and half-lockout has reached that point where the union and merchant tailors will have to arbitrate their differences. The warm weather also has had much to do in bringing the union and merchant tailors together, as there is a great demand for clothes and a settlement must be effected." The Upholsterers' liilon. The upholsterers completed the organization of their union last night with an enrollment of thirty members anil elected the following officers: President, William Spearing; vice president, L. H. McClelland; corresponding and recording secretary. C. F. J. Ott; financial secretary, l'hll Lendorml; treasurer, Frank Moore; delegates to Labor day committee, Phil Lendorml ami William Spearing. The delegates to the Labor day committee were instructed to vote for the Labor dy demonstrations to be turned over to Central Labor Union. llnnhvood Flour l.nyer' Charter. The charter of the Hardwood Floor Layers' Union arrived yesterday, and tbe ulllrers of tho union were Installed and memhern obligated last night by John Feltman. It Is believed that the strike of the hardwuod flour . lay f us, will now be settled, as some' of t&J 4" factors have refused to treut with the union because It had no charter. The charter came direct from the American Federation of Labor, as there are no other trades with which the hardwood floor layers can affiliate without friction. ';?'' CHILDREN'S REHEARSAL.. Pupils of School .o. H to iilvv n Concert To-Muhl. Yesterday afternoon Plymouth Church auditorium and galleries was filled by the pupils of the several schools, who were Jhere to listen to a public rehearsal of the pupils of school No. S. on Virginia avenue. The platform was crowded with the pupils of school No. 8. whose joyous faces and bright-colored attlro made a most attractive picture. There must have been seventy of them on the platform. The rehearsal was under tho direction of Mr. P. W. Dykema. principal of school No. S, with Mr. Willys I. Kent as organist, and astted bv Mr. A. W. Posey, soprano, and Mr. L li. Colvln. bass. The music, sung mainly by the children, without assistance, consisted of se-lectlons from Wagner, embracing portions of "Lohengrin." "Parsifal." "Flying Dutchman'" and "Tannhauser." Severul of the solos were sung by boys and girls of twelve or fourteen years, and solos and choruses were given without the music before the singers, or even the words. The few older spectators who were present. In spite of the prohibition, regarded It as a wonderful performance. To-night school No. s will give a concert In Plymouth Church, at 7:i.". Fire ut the Spencer limine. About 1:1 o'clock this morning an alrm of lire was Sent In from the Spencer House. Fire whs discovered in the kitchen of th" hotel, but It was easily extinguished. The guests of the house were aroused as a precautionary measure, but there was no great excitement and they soon returned to thur room.

A COMPLICATED AFFAIR

THE S.UIB INTERESTS INVOLVED I. TWO SEPARATE SLITS. Judges Allen and Leather Are TryliiK Them nine of n Turnip Patch Court Cases. The suit of the Indiana Trust Company, guardian of Margaret Vanderventer, against Oscar F. Mann and his wife to cancel a deed was on trial before Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterday, and the hearing will likely continue all day today. The trust company alleges that Mann is a professional trader and by misrepresentations traded Mrs. Vandevcnter a saloon lease, good will and fixtures for her property on Prospect street. The plaintiff asserts that Mrs. Vanderventer was not capable of transacting her business at the time, although it was some time before she was adjudged insane. It is represented by the trust company that Mrs. Vanderventer' property was worth 51,201), while the saloon lease, good will and fixtures were worth but 5200. It is alleged that Mann represented that the lease, good will and fixtures were Worth 51,500, while her property was of small value. The trade was consummated by Mrs. Vanderventer paying 550 in addition to her property for the saloon. This was the transaction that started a series of transfers that has resulted in many complications. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, and Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, are now trying to disentangle the case. The suit in Judge Leathers's court was brought by the Indiana Trust Company as guardian of Mrs. Vanderventer against Charles Davis and George Seibert for possession of the saloon fixtures. Mrs. Vanderventer sold the saloon to John Holohan and Edward Means when she was of unsound mind for a small consideration. They sold it to Davis and Davis transferred it to Seibert. Monday Judge Leathers overruled a demurrer of the defendants which eet up the plea that the plaintiff offered no restitution for restoring the property. He held that the law protects insane persons and he who deals with them does so at his own peril. This decision, however, has no Immediate bearing on the case in Judge Allen's court. The defendants in this suit contend that there were no apparent signs that Mrs. Vanderventer was insane when they traded for the property and that the deal was consummated in good faith. There is only one thing certain in the litigation, and that is that somebody will have to bo the loser.. "Whether this Is Mrs. Vanderventer, Oscar-Mann. John Holohan and Edward Means, Charles Davis or George Seibert remains for the courts to decide. The decision of Judge Allen will upset in a measure, all that has been done by Judge Leathers, and the validity of a series of four transfers will then have to be run down to determine who is left out.
