There is a certain charm about a good minstrel show to be found in no other theatrical entertainment, and this peculiar charm exercised Its magic Influence last right over the large audience at English's that had assembled to be amused by that always original black-face comedian, Lew Dockstader, and his merry band of burntcork associates. The Dockstader minstrels jiroved to be equal to all that was claimed for them, the show being the very best in Its line that Indianapolis has seen for several seasons, and in many ways the best minstrel entertainment ever given in this city. In league with his able manager, James II. Decker. Mr. Dockstader has put together a performance which for general excellence, variety and gorgeousness would be difllcult to surpass, and every spectator present last evening must have felt that Xiegro minstrelsy was by no means a thing of by-gone days. Thero have been better singing organizations of black-face entertainers on the road, but never a better company of allround, capable performers. Individually, the vocal portion of the show was all that could have been desired, the only weakness being in the concerted numbers, which were X:ot always strictly harmonious. However, In view of the unusual number of good things in the show, it i3 almost ungenerous to tlnd fault with this one feature. The first part is called "The Hall of Fame." The setting is a superb example of the pecne painter's art and the spectacle presented delights the eye. The performers rise tier upon tier, and there are so many of them that they are hard to count. They joined in the usual festivities until it was time for Mr. Dockstader to appear on the Fcene and convulse the audience with his funny remarks and his song, "He May Get Over It, Hut He'll Never Look the Same," the topical verses of which were all very much up to date. Before the star comedian's appearance the audience was kept amused by clever Neil O'Brien and Carroll Johnson, in their Jokes and songs. John "W. Early acted as interlocutor Instead of , William II. Hallett, whose name appeared on the programme, and acquitted himself creditably for a man new to that position. The vocal contingent was headed by Manuel Romain, who won hearty applause With his ballad. "When the Sunset Turns the Ocean's Blue to Gold." Frederick Bowers, the composer of "Because" and Always," who has been with the company all season, did not appear, and it is understood that he has jut decided to desert minstrelsy and return to the vaudeville Etage. Graham Weiler, with a good baritone voice, James B. Bradley; a sunnyvoiced tenor, and Mr. Early, whose voice is a good basso, all scored successes with their ballads. The first part came to a conclusion with a tableau of Washington crossing the Delaware, with a song and chorus called "The Man We Will Always Love," the solo part being well sung by Harry A. Ellis. The second rart of the programme opened with selections by the Cadet Band of the Imperial Boy Huss-ars a company of young instrumentalists from Austria who are making their first American appearance. The boys wore brilliant uniforms and Elayeel with spirit. This act was followed y the big comedy feature of the evening Lew Doekstmier's new specialty. The comedian was discovered upon the rise of the curtain in an airship, the balloon of which was shaped like an enormous pickle. The etereoptlcon man manipulated moving clouds and also a magic lantern panorama which showed different views along th Eastern coast and finally New York harbor and the big city Itsoif. All the while Dockstader looked at things through a spyglass and sprung his latest hits at national and local affairs. By looking hard through his glass he found Indianapolis away off in the distance, and. ringing up the city by the "special telephone" which he carried in the ship, he learned all about what was going on in the Hoosier capital, and in his turn Imparted the knowledge to the audience. Ills greatest hit was made when he called up Mayor Holtzman and congratulated him upon his election. "What is that you pay?" asked the man in the airship through the phone. "Yes. indeed, we'll have a bottle , together. What? Well, you Just bet I'll gct over thra before 11 o'clock, if I have to op the show." When Dockstader got back to earth from his aerial voyage he brought out his famous automobile of last reason and kept the audience In roars of laughter by riving another exhibition of fcr,w to run a horseless carriage. The third portion of the entertainment consisted of several elaborate transformation cenea The opening fctne showed a & on" the Mississlpi river, vith Mem

Is

phis In the distance. Boats were seen moving up and down the stream and the picture was all very effective. Carroll Johnson, who ia always at his best when in the gorgeous raiment of the cakewalk rather than when cracking Jokes "on the end," was the bright particular star of this scene. He sang a tuneful song and danced several very graceful dances, assisted by the entire company. The next scene showed the cotton-fields, and the Ford Brothers, as old negroes, gave a splendid eccentric dancing exhibition. The third tableau displayed an Immense watermelon, which faded into a field of human sunflowers tho "negro heaven" and the entertainment came to an end with a song and chorus, "The Story of the Sunflower," the solo part being rendered by Manuel Romain. No mistake will be made in attending a performance of the Dockstader Minstrels. The show is more than worth the money. There will be a matinee performance this afternoon and a final performance here to-night. Thcntricnl Note. The most devoted admirers who have seen Miss Vifginia Russell in the title role of "The Price of Honor" at the Park this week have been her father, mother, sisters and other relatives. They have had a party at the Park for two nights and will give another to-night. The Russell family lives in Indianapolis, where Miss Russell was born and spent her early girlhood. She has been on the stage for about twelve years, steadily forging ahead, and has developed marked ability. She began her stage career when nineteen years old, when she played the pnrt of Pauline in "The Lady of Lyons." Much of Miss Russell's success has been due to her effort to make the characters she impersonated as genuine as possible. In "The Price of Honor" she appears as a model in a cloak house. In preparing the production for its winter tour last summer, the rehearsals were in New York. Miss Russell every morning for some weeks went to some of the larger department stores and went in with the forces of real cloak models. She saw them begin their work for the day and spent hours with these young women, exercising her wits and gleaning every bit of Information possible relative to what they had to do end how they did it. When she appears in Indianapolis it is a signal for her relatives and friends to go to the theater to see her. When she appears at Anderson, Marion or any point in Indiana that is within convenient reach she is sure to have in her audiences some, if not all, of the Russell family, besides a number of Indianapolis admirers. xxx Klaw & Erlanger's mighty spectacle, "Mr. Blue Beard," which will be presented at English's for five nights and a Wednesday matinee, opening next Monday evening, is said to be an Intoxicant to the eye and an iridescent dream of beauty. One magnificent picture follows the one pre

ceding It until it becomes the kaleidoscopic fairyland, a wonder to the vision, while the ear is charmed by continuous catchy melodies. "Mr. Blue Beard" presents several remarkable features. The principal of these are the two great ballets, "The Land of Ferns and "The Triumph of the Magic Fan," the finale of the first and second acts. The ballet at the close of the second act is the more imposing. It shows the evolution of the fan from the days of the early Egyptians until the present time, and the transformation scenes, costumes, processions and dances are said to be more elaborate than anything of the kind ever seen on the American stage. The principals with "Mr. Blue Beard" are all well-known comeellans and singers, the cast including Eddie Foy, Harry Gilfoil, Herbert Cawthorn, Sam Reed, Adele Rafter, Bonnie Maginn, Florence Cecil, Blanche Adams, Robert Evans and a host of others almost as prominent. The famous English Pony Ballet and the Flying Grigolatti Ballet lead the dances. Tho seats for this extraordinary engagement are now on sale. XXX The Armenis Tito Troupe of Russian Dancers arrived in Indianapolis yesterday and have been rehearsing their act on the stage at the Grand preparatory to the opening of their American tour in this city next Monday afternoon. ' This troupe has never been In this country before and their American manager, Richard PItrot, expects the unusual specialty to score a great success everywhere. The Armenis Tito dancers and the Four Mllons, European acrobats, are to be next week's chief attractions at the Grand. Other leading features of the coming bill will be Serra and Bella RIsa, famous Jugglers, also from Europe; Sager Midgley and Gertie Carlisle, in thir popular Juvenile specialty; the three Keatons, in a new comedy act; Burt Howard and Leona Bland, with their trick playing of the piano, and Julian Rose, the Hebrew impersonator. Two more chances are offered vaudeville-lovers to see the current bill at the Grand, which cortalns some excellent' features. The prospects are for good houses this afternoon and to-night. X X The last two performances of the Moonlight Maids burlesque company will be given at the Empire to-day. The show has two moderately good burlesques and an excellent oliol The singing specialty of Marie Rogers is the best heard at the Empire this season, her rendition of her Bowery song being good enough to place her in the ranks of first-class singing comediennes. Miss Rogers's voice is much better than that of the average burlesque singer; she knows how to sing with impression, and is one of the few burlesque performers who can give an impersonation of a Bowery character without overdoing the part. Sam Devere's show is the attraction booked for next week at the Empire. It is an organization that is well known here and may usually be counted on for a good entertainment. xxx The Unique Theater has been drawing good-sized audiences, and the vauedville bill is proving very satisfactory. Beginning with to-day there will be two shows every Saturday afternoon, the first beginning at 3 o'clock and the second an hour later. A single show will be given on all other week days at 3 o'clock and three performances every night, the first beginning at 8 o'clock. There will be an entire change in the programme of specialties next week, and a fine new set of moving pictures will be shown. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY M ANTON.

SOME LATE FALL STYLES WINTER GARMENTS BEING SHOWN IN SPITE OP WAR3I WEATHER. Overelnborntlon One of Fashion's Characteristic Odd Waists Found in Many Styles. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. In spite of our warm October cold weather garments are being shown, furs, long cloaks and other paraphernalia of winter greet One on every side. That we are to see many and varied styles is true beyond dispute. The great designers of Paris, apparently have each determined to launch a style. As each has his followers, who will accept anything bearing his name, the result is a variety not often seen. Full skirts, unquestionably, take precedence for everything but the plainer tailored eults, and even these are plaited, but fullness is made to take many forms and often is so arranged as to be snug over the hips, which are the American woman's pride. For dinners, receptions, ail indoor occasions, lace and net are to have great vogue. To-day I saw a handsome gown of black Chantilly net that is made with a plain front gore and yoke in one and sides and back that are plaited for, approximately, ten inches below the yoke, the .extreme back being plain and gathered at the belt. The net is hung over pale green and is trimmed with ruches of pinked, silk, for which there appears to be a mania. The effect is admirable. The net is full below the yoke, giving many folds about the feet, yet is confined as it falls over the hips. A second gown is of white iace and is shirred, by means of cords, to form a yoke, to form a flounce and midway between the two. On the other hand there are many shirred or plaited at the belt only, but so arranged as to form a narrow plain panel at the front. These last are variously trimmed. The narrow ruches of silk, to which I have referred above, are many. They are put on in plain rows; they arc arranged to form circles; they are made to surround medallions of lace; they are applied in big waves or shallow scallops. Wide tucks, two inches in width, are much seen and are charming in soft voiles and the like, but are not always cut in one with the skirt. Double folds, giving the same effect, often are applied and are seen of contrasting as well as the foundation material, tiny braid being used as a finish for the upper edge. White broadcloth is made with folds of long-haired zibeline. Silk and velvet are used on wool, and many similar contrasts are to be found. As a rule the folds are three in number and set jwide apart, so that the uppermost is placed at about knee depth. An effective skirt Is in three portions, two scantily gathered flounces and the skirt, the three joined beneath wide hems that give a tuck effect. The old standby and friend, the circular flounce, appears to have been laid aside, but gathered frills and flounces know no limit. A most exquisite gpwn of champagne-colored chiffon cloth, aesigned for a tall young matron, shows six gathered frills, each edged with a band if Liberty satin ribbon. These bands, by the way, are much used and are both effective and simple. The Liberty ribbon is excellent for the purpose, but velvet, too. Is correct. A gown with a skirt of the three-flounce sort is of Nile green voile and shows a wide velvet ribbon band edging each that is singularly effective. BODICES AND BELTS. With all these full skirts bodices are made to blouse at back as well as front, and a wide belt or girdle is worn. The narrow belt for costumes of the sort belongs to the past. Belts of to-day are shirred and are draped and are made to fit by means of judicious boning. Soft silks and chiffon velvets are the materials preferred. In some instances the closing is made by bringing the two shirred ends together, their narrow headings meeting and forming tiny frills. In others it is made as nearly invisible as possible, but always the belt is shaped and droops slightly at the front. An excellent foundation can be bought ready made that is composed of a patent light-weight bone and is good in shape, but strips of bone rightly adjusted will do much. The waists are full and soft and droop Just a trifle over these belts in a way that is most charming when the figure is slight and the waist round, but all that multitude to whom such beauties are denied will do well to bear in mind that other styles existThe knell of the odd bodice has been declared to have sounded again and again, but any one who visits the 6hops has a realizing sense that such is not the fact. Handsome waists, costly waists, greet one at every turn. They are shown and sold in all variations from severe shirt to the elaborate creation of chiffon and lace. To say, under such conditions, that they are not worn is absurd. What is true is that their functions are somewhat mere llrsited icon heretofore hcj teen tha car 3. The

A ROMANCE OF INDIANA IN THE THIRTIES. Illustrated by Clyde O. De Land. i2mo, with decorated cover and gilt tops. Cloth, $1.50

Mr. MAJOR'S new novel is a sunny, vigorous love story, full of the human appeal which kept one of his novels in The Bookman's Wsis of the "six best-selling books" for fourteen consecutive months an entry which still holds the record for popularity. It deals with a theme particularly near the hearts of many of his readers, for he describes the fascinating, Indomitable, picturesque, pioneer elements that came from every rank and part to create the present state of Indiana out cf "the great wilderness."

PUBLISHED BY THE MAMLLAN shirt Is and will be worn for morning. The elaborate waist fills a need for the theater, informal dinners and the like, the fancy silk blouse belongs by right to the handsome tailored gown. But afternoon and evening toilets are, preferably, made en suite and the waists worn with Jacket suits match them in color- or are white with touches of the color. Among the more fanciful designs are waists of flowered chiffon combined with lace. One, a notable example, is of flowered chiffon with yoke and cuffs of heavy Venetian lace. Tho full sleeves and the yoke are unlined. The waist is full shirred at its upper edge, and the drop yoke conceals the peams of the sleeves. It is closed at the back, as are the greater number of the handsome waists, and is as daintily charming as can be, but to picture it worn upon any but an occasion of dress is absurd. Ar a wellknown and prosperous dealer said to me not long ago, the odd waist will not be permitted to die. A few ultra fashionable folk may decry It and demand entire gowns. The many well-gowned women who cannot afford to go to extremes will continue to wear it upon such occasions as it suits and dealers will continue to keep it ever fresh by means of new and alluring designs. Many of the better models are a mass of hand work and are really exquisite. A black chiffon is entirely composed of small wheels made of the material, bias and drawn into shape, then fagoted together. Some wheels are niched, others are simply drawn round and filled with cobweb centers, the contrast making a fine effect. I think I already have mentioned the accordion-plaited designs with large drooping sleeves in angel style. Others, since seen, are so plaited as to fit snugly after the jersey style and are trimmed only with insets of lace. With these, sleeves are more moderate In size and are finished with cuffs, but sleeves continue to make the feature of handsome gowns and are both large and varied. With chiffon waists they are simply enormous, but fall In such soft folds as to give less effect of size than" often Is the result of a smaler model in heavier material. For a long time fullness at the shoulders has been forbidden, but some of the latest designs are without caps and fall full from the armhole. It 1 a season of elaboration, often of overelaboration, and many gowns seen are more remarkable for the number of fabrics used in their making than for any real beauty. A notable example of what, to my mind, is overdoing is to be found in a brown taffeta gown recently sent over from the other side. The .bodice is made to blouse slightly, over a deep shaped belt of the silk. The main portions are tucked horizontally with openwork stitching between the groups of tucks. There is a shallow yoke of brown guipure over cream chiffon and silk and below It a collar of black guipure over gold, which Is extended to form a narrow vest and which is cut to fall well over the shoulders. Edging this collar is a plisse frill of the soft silk and heading it and outlining the vest are narrow ruchlngs. The sleeves are huge puffs of the silk above deep cuffs of black lace over gold. Verily did the desip-ner use all things that came to his hand, but true beauty means something fjulte different. IN BETTER TASTE.

Bands of the lace are arranged on th skirt to give a double flounce sußgestlon and are edged with narrow bands of th cloth. The chiffon Is in a dep cream shade and forms the full pouched front of the wal5t, over which falls an oddly shaped cape or pelerine of lace that is split at the arms and Is eiu(Hl with bands of cloth, and which falls over beli5hapod sleeves of cloth, lace trimmed, beneath which are puffs cf chiffon held by lace cuffs. In the one Instance one's impression is of a reckless prodigality with little satisfying in th result, in the other there is found a certain adherence to a fixed color scheme which results In a most satisfactory nct. Short. Jaunty coats come again In favor week by week for the costumes of more formal dress. Charmingly effective Etons and blouse Etons are shown with fur used in novel and really desirable ways. An exceedingly smart model, which incidentally gives evidence of the favor in which Parisians hold reds, is of finest, softest satlnf&ced cloth of the shade known as strawberry. The skirt is laid in small plaits all the way round that are stitched flat to forra a deep hip yoke, but fall to. folds blow that point. At the bottom are two wide bands of cloth stitched. The coat is a short plaited Eton that does not extend to the waist but falls over a girdle of ermine that is chic in the extrem. At the frunt is a tiny velvet vest with tiny buttons and the bell sleeves terminate well above the wrists, where they fall over double llngerls frills, lace-edged, the lower one of which extends to the knuckles and Is held clore to the hands by white elastic Inserted in narrow tucks Just below the wrists. These lingerie frills, which I have had occasion to note in former letters, grow In favor and are exquisitely graceful and feminine. One ses them worn with little coats of the sort and with all of the handsomer suits as well as with elegant carriage and evening wraps. A most picturesque wrap for the carriage, in 1S30 style, drooping well off the shoulders. Is made of old blue chiffon velvet with trimming of ermine and Includes extremely wide sleeves over wide lingerie frills, three in number. The u?e cf fine, soft fur for girdles under short Etons and for the belts and trimmings of blouses is a notable feature and some of the results gained thereby are most elegant. We come very near to outdoing the feat of painting the lily this season. Lace is applied with bits of cloth and of velvet. Pur Is trimmed with discs of velvet as well as of lace and passementerie. It sometimes teems as if good taste and discretion were dead, but the fur belts and girdles are really good, when fine soft sorts are usrd. Even bits of handsome fur give an effect of richness and elegance and there is a marked tendency toward fur used on gowns as well as fcr coats and hats;. Fur turbans are exceedingly smart and are seen in chinchilla, mole, ermine, mink, squirrel, all the favorites of the season, both made of the tingle fur and of two combined. Tips are usd aa trimming and now and again velvet Aotters. but these last are somewhat Incongruous and lack the charm of feathers. A most beautiful turban.
