It will be long before the patrons of English's get the bad taste out of their mouths that was left last night by the singularly grotesque aggregation advertised as Miss Mabel McKiuley and her Polite Vaudeville Company. It would be more accurate, as well as Just, to eliminate the name of the soprano from auy frank criticism of the show as a whole. Her ability and that alone saved it from the humiliation of failure flat and absolute. She does not need a great name to win her way, although her manager and press agent have made every possible use of the most potent instrument of stage conjuring. Appearing last on the programme her beautiful voice, her sw. t face and her expressiveness exercised a delightful hypnotic power and made her audience forget the ugliness, the staleoess, the vulgarity and the banality that had tortured it before Miss McKinley in real life Mrs. Mabel McKiuley Baer. wife of a sucoessful Brooklyn dentist began to sing. Ill-balanced, ill-assorted, a more unpleasing company of vaudevill iuris never appeared in a high-priced house. It mar be offered in slight palliation of their crime against confidence that last night's was their ftrst appearance as one show, but the public, usually, is little disposed to receive such excuses complacently. The audience was small, so small that rows of empty seats glared in blocks all over the house, but it was sot so small that audible expressions of dlstate and disgust were infrequent. On what theory of experience it was be lie . i that antediluvian Jokes, musty "gags" an 1 tricks of the trade, l.-ng ago discarded by vaudeville actors even of popular-priced houses, woul'i succeed in Indianapolis or any other tc n within the bl manes f civilization, it is dtfflcul to conceive. Iflss McKinley is a success in all that the word Implies. She is a success even when manacled to the "compauy." but it seems a pity that th re should be a company at all, certainly oik so impotent. Virna and Lara, singers and dancers, neither sang nor danced In a literal construction of these terms. Their laryngal disturbances were apparently excessively painful to themselves they certainly were to the audience and the dancing consist i of a series of gyrations that were murk, i neither by grace nor rhythm. Better acts have been seen in burlesque frequently In this city. Fredo and Dare gave evidence of Ingenuity in handling musical instruments commonly used In acts of that character, but their "comedy" absolutely spoiled whatever merit their act may have contained. The audience welcomed the curtain with th same relief that prize-ring crowds hail the bell that saves a fighter from uimn essary punishment. Advertised as "the brightest and most laughable sketch In vaudeville." "His College Chum. a skit played by Karra. Cole and company, proved about as near the exact reverse of these flattering 4jctives as can be conceived. The ele

ment of humor was missing. Interpretations of mediocre lines were spiritless and awkward. Th three Millettes. in a tumbling and acrobatic turn. w-r- more pleasing, although the act furnished nothing out of the common. Mathews and Ashley, in the sketch. "Money Mad." which had been seen here before in far les pretentious guise, received the semblance of an encore. Mathews's singing pleased, while the old characterization of a Jew, by Ashley, was no better or worse than the old familiar travesties to which the long-suffering Hebrew has been exposed. .Miss M KinJey w is received with distinct relief. The first clear, strong note pleased. She gave first "II Bacclo," by Arditi. perhaps her most successful number of the evening. The other songs were pleasing, but seemed weak vehicles of expression for her magnificent voice. She was accompanied acceptably by Robert King. Her second number was "Ma Li'l Sunbeam," which brought out. in a measure, the pathetic sweetness of her tones. "In Starlight" and "Anona" were the concluding selections. "Anona" is a song of M:s- m Kin ley s own composition and 1 ne, it is said, she is hopeful of making as famous as the lampooned and lamented "Hiawatha." It '"took" with the audience last night, and Miss McKinley smilingly sang several encores. The applause with which her singing was received was thunderous in comparison with the weak, little clapclaps that followed the exit of the members of the "company." S. veral good pictures were shown by the klnetograph. the most absorbing of ail being an intimate photographing of bees at work.

The Vaudeville at the Grand. A diversified programme is offered to amusement-seekers this week at the Grand. The elements of the entertainment are comedy, "straight" and farcical, acrobafics, spectacular and grotesque, jugglery of a very effective kind, music, both sentimental and comic, and a trninod animal act that is interesting, if not altogether novel. The bill is so varied that it never becomes monotonous and in nearly all cases the material is presented by people of more than medium ability hence the show must be classed as a good one. The chief attraction or at least the one given the place of honor on the programme, is the comedietta called "Paris," acted by Clayton White, Marie Stuart and Pauline Taylor. The piece is familiar to most local vaudeville-goers, having been seen here last season, but it is one of the few sketches of its kind that will bear witnessing a second time. The lines of the piece are more than ordinarily clever and the three players in it are better than the usual interpreters of vaudeville sketches. Mr. White gets a good deal of fun out of the two characters he Impersonates a gray-haired judge, who is something of a "rounder." and a rough, slang-throwing chap of the sort to be found on the Bowery. Miss Stuart continues to appear as Mrs. "Dicky" Waldorf e, a woman of the world, who knows human nature so well that she can be gracefully tolerant of the shortcomings of the so-called sterner sex. She is a good comedienne is Miss Stuart and her imitations and impersonations are excellent. Miss Taylor, who is an Indiana girl, plays her small part creditably. The only fault to be 'ound with the sketch is that at times its lines are too broad for polite vaudeville. Two acts on the bill that are in every way as important as the advertised "headliner," are the splendid gymnastic act of the Four Nightons and the juggling specialty of Humberty. Many gymnastic performances have been given at the Grand, but the Four Nightons present the very greatest act of the kind ever seen here. Each one of the men is a Sandow possessing remarkable strength and having not one Inch of superflous flesh on his body. The quartet gives an exhibition that Is little short of marvelous. The juggling act was something of a surprise, as it had not been advertised as a specialty of exceptional strength. Humberty, who Is a German performer, has a lot of new tricks that he does with amusing skill. His act is a short one, but every feat he performs Is out of the ordinary. There is no "tilling In" whatever. The Dillon Brothers, with a new assortment of parodies, are as well liked as ever, and were obliged to sing a half-dozen songs at the opening matinee yesterday. They are very popular with local audiences. Sailor and Barbaretto contribute a pleasing singing act, both having good voices and a good choice of songs. The comedy acrobatic team known as Mazuz and Mazette, is on the bill with their absurdity, "The Tramp and the Brakeman," and the antics of the male member of the team cause a great deal of merriment. Harry M. Parker's dog circus, which was seen at the Grand last season, returns this week and repeats Its success. The animals are all very clever and the leaping greyhounds command great admiration. It is a great act for the Juvenile visitors at the theater. Charles Merritt and May Rozella open the programme with a senseless sketch called "A Put Up Job." The dialogue in which they indulge is pretty tiresome, but Mr. Merritt's acrobatic dancing is well done and Miss Rozella's songs win applause. After being out of the bill for two weeks the bioscope again closes the show with a series of very interesting moving pictures. The programme is so good, when taken altogether, that it is sure to draw large houses throughout the week. "Not Guilty" at the Park. The villain in the play that kept a big audience cheering and hissing and crying at the Park Theater last night had green eyes. This character of villain is always despised by women and could the hysterical ladies who sat through the performance Of "Not Guilty" have had their way Mr. Will D. Ingram, the equisite young man who impersonated George Dalton, would have been lynched to a gas post immediately after the performance. The women hated him and the men wondered at his daring wickedness. It is said that stage villains always make the best husbands and fathers that they are most tender and kind off the stage. It would be difficult to make the emotional women who composed the Park audience believe this theory. "I'll bet he's as mean off the stage as he is on," observed a stout woman who sat in the first row of the parquet with her husband and two half grown daughters. She said it so loudly that the villain heard it and winced at the thrust. But all these things were very complimentary to the young man even when he was hissed roundly for his brutality to the girl who gave up home and honor for him. "Not Guilty'' present a story of distressing complications. Frank Rawden, superintendent or' the Sheldon mines in Pennsylvania, is accused of the murder of his employer. He loves the murdered man's daughter and she believes him innocent. The real murderers are the villain, who is the nephew of the murdered man, and "Loiitfihut ' Logan, a race track tout. The villain has betrayed the sister of Logan, but the latter does not know it. This girl witnessed the murder und was about to expose her betrayer when he placed a seal on her lips by pointing out that she would send her own brother to the gallows If she told what she knew. Hence it was to her interest to keep quiet. Perhaps no young womau ever kept a still tougue under more exasperating eircumstuuees. "Its perfectly maddesiug." exclaimed a girl In a tailormade suit, sitting in one of the boxes. She was about the size of the poor heroine and semed to be in close sympathy with that unfortunate. Next to the villain the man that won the biggest applause was Tom Daily, a secret service man gone wrong on account of drink. Hut he reformed and did a good Job in the end aud there wasn't a mau in the audience that didn't feci like shaking hands with him. "I'll bet that fellow's got the stuff in him," said a strapping young man, speaking audibly to a frieud. They sat just below the footlights and the big fellow was a policeman off duty. His big, good-natured Irish face brightened like a new dollar whenever Tom Daily came out. "My goodness, there is Al West." said the prettiest girl in the first row of the P irquet on the east side, as former Detective Daily strode the stage on his ftrst appearance after his reformation. She spoke to her escort in a stage whisper. And so it was Mr. West, a very popular young man who has a lot of friends in Indianapolis. "Why the last time 1 knew him he was a high-salaried traveling man and now he's an actor," said the girl a little louder, and then added, "Wouldn't ut jar you?" A half dozen of Mr. West's friends sat in a box at the right of the stage, knowing he was on the bill. There were two or three young fellows and several young women, it was apparent from the statt that they had come to see Mr. West. Just here the young man show-d a clever bit of tact. All through the first act he appears as a drunken sot a decidedly shabby specimen ol the sort that has seen better Meeting hlrn n the strt-et not one of his friends would have stopped to speak to him while he wore that garb. Now Mr. West, with fine reasoning, figured out that his friends in the box would not care to have It known to the audience that they knew the wretched looking fellow that was having his troubles ou the stage, so he cut

them dead. "I don't know you from a rabbit," Mr. West seemed to say as he looked with hard eyes at the occupants of the box. In the next act it was different, and Tom Daily was himself again. He was a man once more, strong and good to look at, a woman's love and a woman's faith in him had done it. This time Mr. West recognised his friends in the box and he played to them. The particular bit of Interesting femininity that worked this metamorphosis was Miss Nora O'Dowd in the play. The bill said she was Miss Monnie Emerald, but whoever she was she posed as a pretty little Irish girl with the brightest eyes and the reddest of lips and ail the men in the house envied Mr. Tom Daily, reformed detective, who took her to his heart at last. The women in the audience even forgave her for being pretty and Mr. West's friends seemed as glad over what she had done as if it had been a case In real life. Thre Is a scene In Union square. New York, in the play, and li is thrilling enough to start the emotions of the coldest-hearted cynic going at a tremendous rate. In this scene the villain and the woman he has wronged unfortunately meet. She is hugging a half-starved babe to her breast. She is penniless and hungry and the poor, pinched face has no longer any attractions for George Dalton. The poor girl has long since given up hope of Dalton making her his wife, but she now asks him for help. This green-eyed man that the women hated cast her off with a sneer. He shoved her roughly aside, and he might as well have struck every woman in the house. The womanly sympathy Is keen when once it is aroused in behalf of a fallen sister. As Dalton struck tho girl a policeman appeared. "Here officer," he exclaimed with a villainous sneer on his face, "this lady has just made an offensive proposal to me." This one act of the villain was too much for the audience. All his other meanness could have been forgiven, but not this. "Oh, you dog, you cur!" a voice fairly hissed. It came from a young girl whose Hushed cheeks anil flashing eyes indicated that she was terribly in earnest. She sat a few rows behind the orchestra. As she spoke she half rose in her seat, and the young girl with her pulled her down. Then she got out a handkerchief and put it to her eyes. "I don't care I I can't help it," she sobbed, "he's got no business to treat her that way." She spoke in a good, lusty whisper that was scarcely audible to the people on the stage, but the audience around her got the full benefit of it, and for a time it was doubtful whether the melodrama was more thrilling on the stage than in the audience. Mr. Dalton smiled and was a villain still. Some of the misery passes away at the close of the drama, for the wronged young woman, Mary Logan, with her womanly sense of justice, comes to the rescue of the innocent man and tells the real story of the murder. Her brother turns State's evidence and is released, and the villain is the only man that suffers. He has to go to prison, and everybody on the stage and in the audience Is glad. Burlesque at the Empire. Few companies in the burlesque world balance as well and average as high as "The Brigadiers," which hold forth at the Empire this week. The burlesques are full of snap and ginger, the chorus is effective, the girls are attractive, the comedians really funny and the specialties of an unusually high order. In fact, there isn't a really poor feature about the whole show, although, of course, parts of It are better than others. Lydia Dexter and Pat White head the company and they are ably assisted by Florence Good. Edith Arnold. Ada Prescott, John A. West, James Relmond and Harry Hendrlx. The olio is opened by Florence Good, a singing Soubrette, who is pretty enough and clever enough to get away with a line of wofk that would fail utterly in less capable hands. The Brothers Martine offer the same turn they produced last year, the feature of which Is turnirrg somersaults on a spring table, and thy make good every minute they are on the stage. Harry Hendrlx and Ada Prescott in a singing and dancing turn are not so effective so far as their singing is concerned, but when it comes to dancing they have few superiors. As a clog dancer Hendrlx is an artist. Kennettl and Patterson, singing and talking comedians, keep the audience laughing, although there is much more pure nonsense than humor in their comedy. The best feature of the olio, and the best thing in the show, is the bicycle turn of the Martell Family. There are five in the family, ranging from a wee tot of but four or five years to the father and mother, and every one displays marvelous skill. John A. West, as the original brownie, has something new, or rather, has a new dress for a musical turn, which closes the olio. West is not only a clever musician but is a firstclass comedian as well an unusual combination.

Tfew Bill at the I'nlque. The I'nlque put on a new programme yesterday that compares favorably with any vaudeville show except perhaps In length. Miss Jordan, a local performer, opens the bill with several very good 'songs. The Filmores, a comedy team, follow in an excentric sketch that is both clever and laughable. Mr. Edwin Hardacre is next and this week presents a blackface singing and dancing turn of merit. The vaudeville part of the bill is closed with an act by Will D. Marine entitled "Have a Card." The show ends with a new series of moving pictures, among which are "Climbing Mount Hectoe by Train," "Casey and the Steam Roller," "The Human Pump" and "A Photographic Contortion." Opening; of the Iroquois. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. The new theater, the Iroquois, was opened to-night with Klaw & Erlanger's Drury Lane spectacular production, "Mr. Bluebeard." It is owned by Will J. Davis and Harry J. Powers, of Chicago; Nixon & Zimmerman, of Philadelphia, and Klaw & Erlanger, of New York, and represents, Including the site and an office building, an Investment of $1,000,000, the theater costing $500,000. The Iroquois is one of the most completely equipped playhouses in the United States. The seating capacity is 1,744 and the stage Is 110 feet deep by 60 feet wide. The foyer, 53 feet high and 90 feet in length. Is a striking feature, bng patterned after the Opera Comique in Paris and the Congressional library. The staircases are supported by ten columns of pavanazzo marble, and over L',000 electric lights are required for illuminating purposes. The spectacle, a most elaborate one, was witnessed by a packed house, particular interest being taken by local theatergoers from the fact that three of the principal actors, Eddie Foy, Bonny McGinn and Harry Gilfoil are natives of Chicago. Grand Opera Season Opened. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. The grand opera season opened to-night ; t the Metropolitan Opera House under brilliant auspices for the new management. Heinrich Conried selected "Rigoletto" as the vehicle for his debut as a grand opera manager with Mme. Sembrich and Enrico Caruso in the leading rules. To-night's audience had the first view of the practically new Metropolitan Opera House, which rilled the great house, making the scene a brilliant one. Mme. Sembrich as Gelds, the Jester's daughter, was cast in that great role in which she has always been charming. The part of the duke was taken by Enrico Caruso, whom Europa considers one of its greatest tenors and in whose debut there was the greatest interest because of the fame with which he has been heralded. Louise Homer, as Maddalena, Mile. Bauermeister as Giovanna, were pleasing in those roles, while Signor Scotti reappeared as Rigoletto, a role well suited to him. Sevr Theater for ( hicago. DETROIT. Mich., Nov. 23. Bert C. Whitney, lessee of the Detroit Opera House in this city, to-day announced that he and his brother, Fred C. Whitney, well known as theatrical managers, have closed a deal for a new theater to be built in Chicago at a cost of $1,500.000. He said the site has been selected and the Iron work contracts let and that it is hoped to have it ready for busin ess Aug. 1 next. Ha dei lined, however, to state the location of the site for the present. Mr. Whitney said a stock Company had been organized to build the theater and that he and his brother would manage It. Frohman tVetla Mtaa Illlnston. NEW YORK. Nov. 3. Announcement was made to-day that Daniel Frohman and Margaret Illington. who is playing the h ading part in "A Japanese Nigthingale" at Daly's Theater, were quietly married yesterday. .Miss Illington will continue in "The Japanese Nightingale" until the conclusion of her contract with Klaw Ä: Krlanger, when she will retire from the Stage. - Illington came to New York from Bloomlngton, 111., three years ago.

Animal heads, which were so much the vogue several years ago on furs, are making a reappearance and one very handsome set shows B'rer Fox's head perched saucily on the back of the sweeping boa aid on tho top of the muff. Fancy suede is a new medium for the making of modish card cases and the soft ie.ither in pretty figured designs is exceedingly attractive. Usually the cases of this type are fastened with a big clasp of silver or rose gold, set with jewels. xxx The lovely Tokio ware is among the most attractive of the beautiful potteries with its clear colors and graceful decorations. Now and then one comes across a bit at

an exceedingly reasonable price, as for inI stance a small vase of cerulean blue with ; an exquisite decoration of flower branches

in pure white, for $2. XXX Very smart are the eard cases, pocketbooks and wristbags of pigskins, which is one of the modish leathers of the year. The light yellow hue and the smooth skin are totally different from the seal, walrus and morocco leathers which have been our portion for several seasons past, and so have the added charm of novelty. y f The scarlet wrist or automobile bag is hopelessly passe they say In the shopa. but the bags of bright blue leather, preferably morocco, which came in almost simultaneously with the red ones, are still very good style. They are less conspicuous, of course, than the others, and were less popular, generally which accounts for their being longer popular. XXX Persian designs are very new for hosiery and one very up-to-date pair shows the usual palm leaf in violet tints against a light background. The design is not particularly attractive for stockings, still it is better than the zigzagged stripes of lurid color that characterize some of the newest of the fancy hosiery. Gallant Little Richard. "When I was a vain young g'rl," said a tall bachelor lady of gracious bearing and silvery hair, "I evolved the preposterous Idea of keeping a book of compliments; that is, I wrote down in a little red-backed book all the complimentary remarks made about me those which were said directly to me, and others which were reported by my relatives and friends. Wasn't that the climax of vanity and absurdity? Before I was twenty, however, I burned the little red book, and have since been sorry that I did so. What a grotesque Joy it would be to me now; I could go round among my friends and give readings from it. "But the compliment of my life, I do assure, I received yesterday from a six-year-old boy, Bichard. Little Bichard and I are great friends heart-felt comrades, so to speak, aud when I visit his mother, the dear boy, to my great delight, is always ou the arm of my chair or m his own little chair, close to my side. My remarks always seem to entertain him, and I am correspondingly gratified. "Last night I was telling little Richard's mother about a charming new friend I had made an unusually bright and intellectual woman, Miss Darnett. Little Richard listened atteentively as I descanted on Miss Darnett's attractiveness. When I stopped to take breath, he interpolated: " 'Miss Cordelia, is this Miss Darnett an old lady, or is she young, like you?' " Menn for a Day.

Philadelphia's smart society Is much concerned again this season about "the unbidden guest," a pretty and stylish young woman of good family, who attends all the fashionable teas and luncheons and receptions without an invitation. She is always irreproachable in manners and is somewhat queenly in her bearing. She assumes to be on intimate terms with all the "smart set" and Is always at her ease, greeting and taking leave of her postess as punctiliously as though she had been begged to honor the occasion with her presence. So overwhelming is her assurance that no hostess has as yet had the temerity even to drop a hint to the girl that she was persona not grata. This young woman of the royal name and presence Is about twenty-five years old and dark as to complexion. She moves with the grace of a dancer. At a breakfast on Walnut street a few days ago this bewitching personage drove up to the door in her coupe. "Call again in an hour," she said to the driver In a languid voice. The butler was ceremonious in opening the door for her and as she rustled past him the maid fairly outdid herself in attending to her wraps. Quite sereue she entered the reception room and greeted the hostess effusively. "Why, Mrs. , I'm so glad to see you, dear." "I'm glad to see you, Miss ," the hostess replied, somewhat coolly. The unbidden guest moved away with a pleasant smile and the hostess remarked to a friend: "There she is again! What can a person do?" Fashions in Mourning. New York Times. The fashions in mourning change very much indeed with the succeeding years. The custom of being enveloped in crape after the death of even a near relative is being abrogated. Very few remain in seclusion for more than a few weeks after a death in the family, and although black is worn it is permissible to go to theaters and church weddings. At the RoxburgheGoelet wedding there were several young matrons who have not completed the first year of mourning for relatives, which in other days was deemed absolutely necessary . Mrs. Mackay was present in very handsome and dressy black, with a large hat with plumes and a great diamond buckle. Mrs. Mackay lost her mother last winter. Mrs. John Jacob Astor, whose mother died in the spring, wore a black dress trimmed with crepe and Mrs. Robert Goelet, whose young daughter passed away eighteen months ago, was in gray, with a large gray hat. The Wilson family went entirely out of mourning for the occasion. The Dowager Duchess of Roxburghe, who is in half mourning for a relative, showed the English custom, which was wont to be considered lax, but which Is now more severe than ours. She was in dark purple velvet and white, very dressy half mourning. Dassllng Decorations. New York Tribune. From all Indications the woman of fashion will glitter and flash and dazzle this winter more than ever. A famous Parisian dressmaker, it is said, Is making a distinct feature of Jeweled effects, and on one of his latest ereatlons a flight of swallows in blue diamonds sweeps over the shoulder to the hem, where strings of diamonds catch the la. e sleeves together. Another satin gown is decors ted with bluets, embroidered in silver and diamonds, and a white crepe de chine shows two large wings of ralnbowhued paillettes nearly covering the front of the bodice with a similar decoration on the skirt.

There have been times when the wild beasts have been more merciful than human beings, and spared the woman cast to them in the arena. It is sstcmshing how little sympathy women have for women. In the home the mistress sees the maid with the signs of suffering she recognizes so well, but she does not lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of her finger. In the store the forewoman sees the pallor and exhaustion which mark womanly weakness, but allows nothing for them. It is work or quit. REWARD WHO CAN HOT BE CUREC. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. IHerce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Jveucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world -famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women.
