THE THEATERS.

To-Day'a Schedule. GRANDVaudevllle, 2:13 8:15 p. m. PARK Hagenbeck's animal show, 2 and p. m. EMPIRE Burlesque, 2 and S p. m. Warde an! Jamea In "The Tempest." It Is not often nowadays that playgoers are given an opportunity to enjoy the lighter mood of Shakspeare. Strange aa it may seem, Shakspeare's tragedies are always easier to produce than his comedies, and when It comes to putting 'The Tempest" on the modern stage, the difficulties that present themselves to the ambitious revivalists seem almost insurmountable. Until the present season the last manager who had the temerity to attempt the exteremely difficult and costly task of producing this exquisite fairy play was the late Augustin Daly, the greatest stage manager and producer of his day. Wagenhals and Kemper have manifested a similar spirit of enterprise, and the thanks of the theater-loving public, urfeited as that public is with musical "girl shows" and gruesome problem plays. Is due these two managers who have been willing to risk a good deal for the uke of making an ambitious frort to pre

sent a classic play In praiseworthy style.

A performance of "The Tempest unuer any conditions would have been a welcome novelty for Indianapolis playgoers, but the production, as witnessed at English's Opera House last night, given on such a spectacular scale as the play has never known bffore. and with two such fine actors as Frederick Warde and Louis James in the cast, was an event of very unusual Interest. Impressed by the striking originality of the work as a stage diversion, charmed by its poetic simplicity, and touched by it ennobling sentiments, a large and brilliant audience gave it absorbed attention as it swept on irresistibly to an emphatic success. Most of the spectators In the auditorium had doubtless read "The Tempest" several times, but in all probability there were not a doz?n persons present who had ever seen It acted before. The sterling qualities of this most unique of all Shakspearian plays were made manifest from the beginning of the piece, and to those who revere the simple force of folklore with Its ideal conception of the beautiful and the good, it must indeed have been a source of much pleasure to witness so faithful a transferring of the scenes conceived by the master dramatist to the boards of a theater of the twentieth century. Wagenhals and Kemper have given the fairy play a most elaborate mounting.the scenic embellishment calling forth Instant recognition. In point of fact, the production was of almost too lavish a nature to entirely please the uncompromising Shakspearian scholar, who might have asked for more of Shakspeare and less of the wonderful stage effects and interpolated musical features, which smacked, at times, of modern extravaganza. It Is impossible, however, to please everybody; there never yet has been a theatrical performance since the origin of the playhouse that appealed In exactly the same way to every auditor present. The latest producers of "The Tempest" have sought to please both the eye and the ear, and while the representation of the play is undoubtedly lacking In some of the details of interpretation that would have been insisted upon in the old days, it is evident that the cuts and changes from the original version have been carefully made, and that, while It has been the aim to make the revival one that would hold the attention of other than the more scholarly classes, there has also been a conscientious effort to keep the production from getting too far away from the true Shakspearian flavor. There was one very obvious fault which could hardly pass unnoticed, however; It was the predominance of piano music during the continuous strains of harmony. No matter how well it is played and in this instance the playing of Maxime de Grosse, the musical director, was of high class the piano should have no place in the rendition of the incidental music of a Shakspearian

play. The softer and more sympathetic violins and reeds should alone famish all of the harmony. The costuming was above criticism, and the stage management was superb. There were no waits to speak of between the acts, and the entire performance was given without the slightest hitch, and this despite the many changes of the gorgeous scenery. While not of uniform excellence, the acting was for the most part very satisfactoryThe first honors went to Frederick Warde, not only because in 'the role of Prospero ho was afforded many more opportunities for fine work than was his costar, Louis James, in the character of Callban, but because he seemed more in touch with the sentiment of poetry than any one else in the company. Many of his scenes were rare bits of artistic acting down to the play of facial expression, such as a flash of the eye that conveyed a world of meaning or a quiet half smile that played on his lips occasionally, suggesting that Prospero, like all true philosophers, was keenly alive to the humorous as well as to the serious business of life. And then, too, his musical voice and dignity of bearing made the character stand out prominently at all times throughout the performance. Mr. Warde is one of the few of the old school actors that are now left on the American stage. He is an intelligent student of the classic drama and a most painstaking player. His every speech and every pose have been carefully prepared, but, like the great violin virtuoso, when he comes to perform in public that which he has struggled so earnestly to perfect his work is so graceful, so accurate

and so impressive as to cause his audience to feel instinctively that here is an artist who is absolutely sure of himself. The old school actors may have had their faults, but they had their fine qualities, too, and one of these was a reverence for Shakspeare and an ability to deliver his lines poetically and understanding!)'. Mr. Warde's portrayal of Prospero, the "master of nature and the despot of destiny," was a splendid study and one which will long be remembered by those who witX16SSCl It An excellent actor is Louis James, but the character of Caliban is not one that demands extraordinary acting. Caliban Is of the lowed order of the species man, and, being little better thtn a dumb brute, there is little opportunity for an actor to make a great deal of the role, although Mr. James with admirable art worked upon the sympathy of the audience whenever the chance offered and succeeded In causing a feeling of pity for the poor hunted animal whom Prospero, the ruler of the enchanted island, is seeking to tame. Mr. James never overdid the part in any way, as a less capable player would have been sure to do, but alway? kept within the bounds of a comprehensive representation of the barbaric creatur.. Ills song upon Caliban's making acquaintance with the wine bottle was sung in a deep, musical bass which might well be envied by many opera singers. Among the leading supporting players there was none whose acting calls for extended review. Most of the parts were in the hands of adequate interpreters. It would be hard Indeed to And another actress to play the queer role of Ariel so well as It was played by Miss Edith Fassett. The part demands that the player portraying it sing, dance and be everlastingly industrious in keeping all of the magic of the island in working condition. Miss Fassett seemed a trifle bold at first, but as the play progressed one realized that her conception of the character was Just about right, and she did everything required of her In a way deserving of praise. Miss Teresa Maxwell made a sweet Miranda, while Norman Hackett as her lover, Ferdinand, acted In rather a selfconscious manner. Wads worth Harris as Stephano,' the drunken butler, and Thomas Coflln Cooke as Trinculo, the Jester, played Shakspearean clowns along the old, familiar lines and created a good deal of merriment. The smaller roles were fairly well taken and the ballets were well presented. The engagement was for last night only. Theatrical Notes. Some Interesting stories are told of the polar bears that form such an important part of the Carl Hagenbeck show at the Park this week. There were originally twenty-two of these beasts, caught by an expedition that Mr. Hagenbeck sent to Spitzburgenland In 1S97. None war over a year old when they arrived In Hamburg. John Dudak, who still handles the bears, was put in charge of them then. It was fully a year before he could venture with safety into their cage, and fully two years more before the simplest routine of tricks was mastered. In the meantime the bears were converted from a fish to a meat diet. It had always been a hard matter to keep polar bears in a temperate climate, and Mr. Hagenbeck was sure that If this change could be made the greatest difficulty would be removed. Surprisingly enough, the bears took very kindly to the change and thrived on the same food as the lions and tigers. Fish has never been given to them since. Dudak, during the two years and a half that the training process was going on, found several of the bears unsulted for the work, and later actually had to kill two in self-defense. One attacked him In Copenhagen and was stabbed in the breast, while the other had to be killed with a feeding fork In Vienna. The bears that remain are comparatively dooe and by far the cleverest of the lot. xxx The leading act in the Grand's vaudeville programme next week will be the singing specialty of the Seminary Girls, who will be sent to this city under the management of W. J. McConnell, who has been responsible for some of the best spectacular acta on the vaudeville stage. The act comes directly to this city from New York and has never been seen In the West before. It is said to be both beautiful and artistic. There are eight "Seminary" girls and they are all said to be singers of much ability. The singing of Edith Helena in the current bill at the Grand Is pleasing large audiences every afternoon and night. Miss Helena is one of the greatest vocalists ever heard outside of grand opera or the concert stage. Her high tones are of wonderful purity and sweetness. Others on the Grand's bill who are scoring successes are Wright HuntlnRton and his supporting company, the four Normans, the Osnates, the Nelson grotesque acrobats and Waterbury Brothers and Tenney, the musical trio. x x Mrs. Langtry, who had hoped to get back to England In tinvs for the great Derby, has reluctantly given up all thought of It since her business has taken surprising spurt.

She is now playing "Mile. Mars." which she originally intended to produce for the first time in this city. Local play-goers who attended her performance of "The Crossways" will be likely to scratch their heads and do some wondering upon learning that the English actress and her new play arc both doing very well In the East. The. Jersey Lily Intends to gratify her love of hore racing by taking In the Suburban handicap. xxx Kyrle Bellcw will close his regular season in "A Gentleman of France" Saturday night in Baltimore and on the same evening Miss Eleanor Robson will also close her tour in "Audrey" in New Orleans. Rehearsals for the great all-star revival of "Romeo and Juliet," with Mr. Bellew and Miss Robson as the immortal lovers, will begin the first of next week in New York. The scenery for the production is well under way and will be completed by the latter part of April. The great company will be seen in this city at English's on the evening of May 6. XXX Grace George has been so successful at the Herald-square Theater, New York, in "Pretty Peggy," that her husband and manager, William A. Brady, has taken advantage of his option to extend his lease on the playhouse for four weeks longer than the lease originally called for. Although the New York critics consider "Pretty Peggy" a poorly-constructed piece, the metropolitan theater-goers have taken very kindly to it, and it is drawing crowded houses at every performance. xxx James K. Hackett, who Is not only ambitious as an actor, but desirous of shining as a manager and producer, has Just purchased the exclusive dramatic rights to Frederic Remington's story of Western and Indian life. "John Ermine, of the Yellowstone," and will probably be seen in the play himself next season. He has also purchased the dramatic rights of Winston Churchill's novel. "The Celebrity." xxx The recent announcement that Maude Adams is to star next season In the new French play, "Retour de Jerusalem is hardly likely to prove true, as two English plays have been written especially for her and it is understood that Charles Frohman. her manager, has Just accepted one of them, the other not being finished. xxx Fourteen deaf and dumb pupils from the state Institute visited the Hagenbeck show at the Park Tuesday on invitation of the management The sincerity of their delight over the performance is apparent from the fourteen letters received by the management. In which each writer describes what he saw and tells how it impressed him. XXX Clyde Fitch has contracted to write no less than five plays for next season, and there will probably be more coming. This Indefatigable dramatist is in a class all by himself when it comes to capacity for hard work.
