To-Day's Schedule. ENGLISH. S. "Facing the Music." at 8:15 p. ra. GRAND Vaudeville, at 2:15 and 1:11 p m. PARK. "On the Bridge at Midnight," 2 and 8 p. m. KM VI HK. American Burlesquers, 2 and 8 p. m. Henry E. Dlxey In a Doable BUI. Two little plays new to Indianapolis one of English manufacture and the other the work of a well-known American dramatist were presented at English's last night for the first time by Henry E. Dixey and an excellent company before an audience that was small in size, but thoroughly appreciative of the enjoyable double bill and the merit of the players. The startling versatility of Mr. Dixey has long been recog nized by theater-goers throughout the country and his wonderfully clever work last night in portraying two characters that were entirely different from every viewpoint was therefore no surprise to those who had witnessed his many splendid performances in the past. The little play by Clay M. Greene, the American writer, is but a mere character sketch, and served as a curtain raiser for the evening's entertainment. It is called "Over a Welsh Rarebit." and has but two parts Grandfather Tom and Grandfather Dick, played, respectively, by Mr. Dixey and Scott Cooper. Two old gentlemen, one a man of the world and the other a man of the narrowest puritanical ideas, meet, as has always been their custom once every year, to engage in a heart-to-heart talk, while the worldly Tom makes a rarebit in his beloved chafing dish. Each of the old fellows discourses upon the subject nearest his heart the welfare of his son. A misunderstanding occurs, which leads to a bitter quarrel, and, in the midst of the heated words that flow, it is disclosed that the son of Grandfather Dick he of the puritanical ideas is a good-for-naught, while the son of Grandfather Tom is a good, honest man. This discovery brings about a pathetic reconciliation and the two old men, the best of friends once more, start away together arm-in-arm and bound for their club. It's a mere trifle of a play, but It is true in sentiment and it was delightfully acted. Mr. Dixey as the worldly grandfather, genial and at peace with everybody, presented a delicious picture of a warm-hearted old man the kind that would come home with his pockets full of candy for the selfsame little rascals who had thrown snowballs at him a short time before, and Mr. Cooper's portrayal of Grandfather Dick was an excellent bit of acting. "Facing the Music," the English farce which followed, proved to be one of the brightest, wittiest and withal most laughable little plays seen in Indianapolis in a long time. James Henry Darnley, who wrote It, is evidently skilled in the "business" of the stage, for the piece is the work of a master hand. While based on complications more or less familiar in farcical comedies, It is put together in such an expert manner as to seem quite new. The action of the piece occurs in the flat in London of one John Smith, an American racehorse owner. In the flat above lives another John Smith, who is a curate in the Church of England. The American Smith has taken advantage of his wife's absence in the country to entertain a chum of his named Jack Desmond, and on the night before the opening of the story the two men have been on a spree together. In returning home through the dense London fog Smith was robbed, and he believes the thief to be a young woman whom he met by chance and whom he assisted in finding her way. The wife of the curate comes unexpectedly to London and, having the address of the flathouse in which her husband has Just secured apartments, she takes possession of the first flat, upon the door of which is the name John fcrnith, and, as luck will have it. gets into tht flat of the American. When the man of the turf comes home and rinds a woman in possession he Jumps to the conclusion th?t the new-comer is the woman who stoJv his pocketbook and that she Is pursuing him for blackmailing purposes. He calls in a detective. Sergeant Duffell, who proceeds to make a miserable mess of the whole thing by inventing a theory that Mrs. Smith and the curate are members of a notorious gang of thieves for whom Scotland Yard baa long been searching. The unfortunate American gets deeper and deeper into the mire at every step and the complications come thick and fast until nearly every character in the farce is driven almost to insanity. The explanation which smooths out the troubled waters does not come until a moment before the curtain falls, so that the action of the piece is brisk until its very conclusion. Mr. Dixey as the American Smith showed that as an actor of light comedy parts he has few equals. The part did not call upon his flner qualities as an actor, but it brought out his natural humor in a delightful way. He was handsome, easy, graceful and breezy throughout and always funny, too. F. Newton Lindo played the role of a sober-minded little curate in a comical manner, and George Backus as Dick Desmond, Joseph Allen as Col. Duncan Smith and Scott Cooper as the blundering detective gave the admirable portrayals to be expected of such finished actors. The women of the company were all charming. Grace Heyer appeared as the curate's wife, Mabel Smith, and played the part in a sweet, winsome fashion. Miriam Nesbitt, as the other Mrs. Smith, was very pretty and displayed the right amount of spirit for the character. The role of a vivacious actress the woman with whom the American Smith has the encounter in the fog was taken by Gertrude Gheen in an exceptionally clever manner, and Adella Barker as the housekeeper at the flat made a good deal out of a small part. All in all. Mr. Dixey, his splendid company and the double bill make up an evening's entertainment that theater-goers can hardly afford to miss. "Over a Welsh Rarebit" and "Facing the Music" will be ?lven again at English's to-night, the perormance this evening concluding the engagement. The Vaudeville at the Grand. Resplendent with handsome new decorations, beautiful frescoes, elaborate furnishings and new and elegant carpetings, the Grand Opera House threw open its doors yesterday, formally inaugurating the season of 1903-04 at the local home of vaudeville. Patrons of this popular amusement house were agreeably surprised when they entered the building, for, from the street entrance of the lobbly to the brick wall In the rear of the stage, the entire theater had undergone improvement. Painters, decorators, electricians, machinists and scenic artists have been very busy at the Grand during the last six weeks and their combined efforts have resulted in giving to Indianapolis a very pretty and very comfortable little theater Just the place for a vaudeville show of the best class. The manageaient has been lavish in its expenditure of money and has left nothing undone in providing the Grand with an equipment of which it has been sadly in need for several seasons. The opening bill covers almost the entire range of vaudeville. Music, comedy, magic, dancing, farce and acrobatics all And places in the enterta.nment. All parts of the programme are. of course, not on an equal plane, but the average vaudeville audience is so willing to accept everything that is offered it that the Kss meritorious performers are arried into popularity alonr with their betters. The brightest star of the bill is Madame Eugenia Montelll, who comes to Indianapolis heralded as a singer of the first rink and whose vocalizations at yesterday s performances reallzMl all the promises made for her. She is of pleading personality and possesses a mezzo soprano voir, whh'h is exceptionally rich in quality, of good range and under absolute cntrol. Her lower tones are decidf-dly full and sweet and her polished style is uuusual in a raudevilN .singer. She sang trt Tolstoi's beautiful ballad. "Good:bye, Summer," a well-chosen number considering that the day was the last of August, rendering it in English with a slight Italian aiceiit. As her second selection she gave the well-known owtff song from "Faust" in her native language, interpreting it charmingly. Her last two songs were the popular "Violets" and a tuneful little ballad called "Two Eyes." both of which she sang in English. Her appearance at the Grand this week will prove of interest to all local music-lovers and students of singing. A.- ide from Madame Montelli. there are only two other acts on the programme n-tir.-ly new to an Indianapolis audience the exhibition of the Montrose troupe and the tardea sketch of Hal Godfrey and company. The Montrose troupe, composed of six male acrobats, deserves to be classed with the very best of acrobatic combinations, and this Is saying a great deal in these days when acrobatic skill has ben brought to a perfection not dreamed of a few years ago. The six brothers Introduce a number of new feats that bring forth enthusiastic applause. Mr. Godfrey Is a comedian of the George Cohan order.

with a pair of long, thin, comedy legs that are very much like Cohan's. He and his two assistant players a man and woman who are so much better than the average actors who support vaudeville stars that their names should be printed on the programmegive a little twenty-minute farce called "A Very Bad Boy." and while the piece itself does not amount to much, it is so well performed that it causes plenty of laughter. Josephine Gassman and her three little pickaninnies come in for a good share of favor. Miss Gassman was not at her best yesterday on account of a severe cold, but she succeeded In singing her negro songs with spirit and expression, nevertheless, and her trio of dusky co-workers created much amusement. Falk and Seamon, who are among the best of the comedy musicians, are on the bill and. as usual, their act pleas s. Most of their mutical numbers are new this season, but they are in need of fresh Jokes and "business," as nearly all of their "gagging" was exactly the same as when they last appeared at the Grand. Lynn Welcher, the monologuist. is another comedian who would do well to start the new season with more fresh material. He is a good talker and knows how to tell a funny story, but the greater part of what he has to say is very familiar to local audiences. Martini and Maxrnilllon contribute their burlesque magical act a very entertaining specialty which was seen here toward the close of last season and which has been made better by the introduction of some new ideas. Phil and Nettie Peters open the bill with a singing, dancing and conversational sketch of the regulation vaudeville type an act that makes rto claim to be other than a jumble of absolute nonsense. The bioscope closes the bill with a series of very interesting moving pictures, the panorama of Geneva, Switzerland, being especially noteworthy. A visit to the Grand

this week will repay the seeker of amusement. Melodrama at the Park. The Park came near breaking Monday records yesterday. The afternoon crowd was so large that hundreds were turned away and the theater was packed to every inch of available space. At the night performance the crowd was slightly smaller "On the Bridge at Midnight," which opened at the house yesterday, is a fullchested melodrama, with the usual amount of tears and laughter, heroics and scoundrelism. The play, while of the ordinary brand, is capably interpreted and elaborately presented. Perhaps the best thing about it is the beauty of the stage settings and the unique and intricate mechanical devices that are used in several scenes. In the second scene of the third act a drawbridge over the Chicago river is represented. Just before one of the most thrilling moments of the play, a big steamer comes puffing up the river. The bridge parts, swings upward, the steamer passes through and the bridge is again swung into place. It is most realistic and cleverly executed. Almost at the same moment an electric car slides along an avenue in the distance, so real ,that one feels like reaohing for a ticket. The story of the play is hackneyed, but it is brightened by the excellent acting of George Klint as Herman Von Schulzberg, the manly, simple-hearted German, who puts the villain to rout and wins for his brave deeds the love of Katherine Hastings, a part acceptably taken by Lillian Hayward. Of the other principals Alma Hearn, as Reddy, and Blanche Holt, as Bridget Rooney, were passable. William Monroe enacts the part of Antonio Gullisslppi, a villainous Italian, so realistically that several excitable persons in the house restrained themselves only with difficulty from leaping on the stage and taking part in the play themselves. The ending is a happy one. The wicked are punished, the good are rewarded and everything is lovely. "On the Bridge at Midnight" will be given at the Park tonight and Wednesday night and at two matinees. American Burlesquers at the Empire. The American Burlesquers, a show owned by William B. Watson, formerly prominent on the Empire circuit, made its first appearance of a week's engagement yesterday at the Empire Theater. W. B. Watson is not with the show, but his wife, Jeanette Dupre, heads the burlesquers. The principal part, which was formerly taken by the original Watson, is played by one who styles himself Billy W. Watson. This young man has some ability as a comedian, but he should refrain from attempts at sugestlveness. In both burlesques he has much prominence. The show presents a good bill in the olio. Among the most prominent features are the Bi ll brothers, who have a musical act. They introduce some new ideas in musical inventions. When they rendered a selection from "Faust" on the concertina some of the boys in the gallery undertook to hiss and Jeer at them. The more enlightened of the audience squelched the offenders and the two musicians were allowed to continue their piece, much to the satisfaction of the entire audience. The piece, while long, was well rendered by the performers. They afterward played selections on different instruments, and were applauded. The Batchelor Bisten, in their singing and dancing act, were almost as great favorites as the Bell brothers'. These women are not new to the patrons of the Empire. They have retained their same music, and their little act is done in such a neat manner that they, too, were warmly appreciated. The younger persons in the audience were much taken with the rough and tumble work of Murray and McFarland in their Irish sidewalk sketch. The men offei nothing new in the way of Jokes, but their hit was made on a stanza of a parody of "Under the Bamboo Tree." Rena Wheeler and Henrietta Washburn have a singing and dancing act which is used to open the olio. They are followed by Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt, who have a balancing act in which nothing new is offered. The show opens and closes with two mediocre burlesques. In which Jeanette Dupre and Billy W. Watson take part, assisted by the remainder of the company. Johnson In "Hearts Courageous." CHICAGO, Aug. 31. Orrin Johnson made his debut as a star at Powers's Theater tonight before an audience that taxed the capacity of the house in the dramatization of Hallie Erminie Rives's novel, "Hearts Courageous," by Ramsay Morris and Franklin Fyles. It is a revolutionary play, the scenes being located at Yorktown, Williamsburg and Winchester, Va., and Independence Hall. Philadelphia. In the latter city is shown the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Patrick Henry is made a conspicuous character in the play, and delivers his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. Mr. Johnson played the part of the French nobleman sent to America as a special messenger from the King of France, pledging that country's aid to the colonists should they go to war with England. The play and the star were remarkably well received, each making a distinct impression. Following each act Mr. Johnson was given numerous curtain calls, and responded to a demand for a speech. Mr. Morris, the co-author, who was present, also made a speech in response to an enthusiastic demand from the audience. Ade's TVew Comedy Drama. CHICAGO, Aug. 31. George Ade's new comedy drama, "The County Chairman." received its first Chicago production at the Studebaker Theater to-night and scored a hit. The comedy is founded on life in the middle West, and carries a pretty love romanee with a political background. The OUIHedj WSJ brought out under the management of Henry W. Savage, and was presented by a capable company, headed by Maclyn Arbuckle. The initial production of "The County Chairman" was at South Bend on Friday. Kdward Hnrrlgan's "Inder Cover." BOSTON, Aug. 31. Repeated applause greeted Edward Harrigan's new 'Tnder Cover" at the Boston Theater to-night. The audience was a large one and the witty lines of the play kept It laughing continually. All the songs are catchy and were encored again and again. The tage settings were elaborate and shewed to especially good advantage on the Boston's large stage. Lieutenanl General Nelson a. Miles occupied a box and evidently enjoyed the performance thoroughly. Crap Game Raided. An enjoyable crap game was in progress for a short time in Nice wander's saloon, at 629 South Delaware street, last night, but it was rudely interrupted by Patrolmen Merz and Metealf. who placed the players under arrtst and carted them off to the police station in the patrol wagon. Three men and the proprietor of the saloon will be given a chance to te!l their troubles to Judge Whalloo, of the Police Court, this morning on account of the activity of the

police.

A Coat of Tan. Philadelphia Record. The typewriter girl turned up at the office from her week's vacation at Atlantic City with a coat of tan that would do credit to a sailor just returned from tropical seas. Her face was a dark, rich bronze, very becoming to her style of beauty, and her arms, bared to the elbows with pardonable pride, were of the same dusky hue. "How did you get it all in one week?" demanded the bookkeeper, with undisguised admiration in his tone. He had come back looking like a boiled lobster, his nose peeling and his face sore to the touch. The typewriter girl laughed. "It's a new wrinkle," she said. "A friend of mine put me on to it. I noticed the first day I arrived that she carried a little bottle down to the beach with her when she went in bathing, and kept rubbing the contents over her face and arms. As fast as it would dry she would rub more on. When she came out of the water she repeated the operation, lying in the sun all the while. She told me it was a preparation to keep the skin from blistering and to turn it brown. Well. I wormed the secret out of her. and what do you suppose it was? Vinegar! Nothing more nor les sthun plain, unadulterated vingar. Of course, I tried It and it worked like a charm. But it wasn't such a secret, after all. I afterward found lots of girls using it; and boys, too." Two Sweet. The Housekeeper. Pralines.

The shirtwaist hat, or its autumn counterpart, has appeared in a variety of pretty shapes. Every woman will want to own one of these simple hats, matching In color her walking gown. With the addition of a thin net face veil and if one can find it in her conscience to buy a hat and immediately cover it up one of the long chiffon draped veils the tailor gown is given the last touch of elegant simplicity. The shapes are mostly on the turban order and are neither large nor small. Many modifications of the sailor are seen, one being very low and flat and trimmed with a stiff bow directly in front. The turban shapes are trimmed with feathers as a rule, these being wings, quills or breasts. All feathers are made" that is. are artificial combinations of plumage. Some of these are unknown to ornithology; for in stance, a broad quill feather, white on one side of the stem and Jet black on the other. Some quills are bronzed and gilded. As for the birds, they are evidently got up with the direct object of proving to the buyer that the manufacturer was incapable of breaking the law against slaughtering of rral birds. A bird that starts with an oriole's head is as likelv as not to end In a bird of paradise tall, and will, in addition, sport parrots wings. Arc Women the Wooers f New York Times. A writer in the Contributors' Club of the Atlantic Monthly accuses the English and American novelist of misrepresenting the women of their race by making men invariably the wooers. Says he: "Lay hold of almost any one of your intimate friends, m.ike him mellow by any agency in your power, and he will confess to you privately or in a circle of confidential friends that he is married simply and solely because his wife led him on."
