Shopping: Suggestions. Some of the new designs in belt buckles show intricate scrolls in silver with the soft gray finish and the center and edges of the scrolls are set with tiny brilliants which are exceedingly effective against the dull metal. The Gibson girl has invaded the realm of the belt pin, and one of the later designs shows the striking head of a handsome young woman, boldly modeled, with beautifully done hair. The pin is of silver and is an effective ornament. The art nouveau brooches are exquisite bits of the Jewelers' showing and one especially lovely design shows a graceful cluster of "bleeding hearts" with the blossoms in pale pink and the leaves in groan. A maple leaf in the vivid autumn colorings is another of the pretty brooches and there seems to be no end of the beautiful effects attained. Nothing handsomer in the way of belt and stock sets has been shown In the city than those of Bulgarian embroidery combined with black taffeta and leather. The stock are of black taffeta with wide band of the heavy, handsome embroidery in rich colors, and a bow of stitched black taffeta for the front. The belts show a band of the same embroidery and the edges are finished by scalloped bits of black leather heavily stitched. r For a scarf pin there is a small medallion of plain rose gold on which Is placed a tiny feminine head in bright colored enamel. As the medallion is very small the head is necessarily very much smaller, but the whole thing is an effective bit of an ornament.

In New York last season, and afterward in Atlantic City for a summer's run. It had the advantage of being interpreted by a

big company of first-class people, and was put on the stage in such lavish fashion by

Fisher & Ryley that its shortcomings in

the way of a mediocre libertto were overlooked. It would seem that Easterners are

in the habit of overlooking poorly prepared

librettos nowadays, so long as they may feast their eyes on pretty girls in extrava

gant costumes, and listen to music that has

a pleasing jingle to it Out this way "in the provinces," as the Broadway regulars would put it theater-goers are supposed to be unable to distinguish the difference between a high-class company and one that is to be truthfully described as a secondrater. Fisher & Ryley sent a couple of "Florodora" organizations of doubtful ability to "do" the cities of the good-natured midwest, and now these money-making theatrical magnates who can produce musical comedies on a gorgeous scale when they have a mind to do so have wrapped up another prize package to be sent to the provinces" a package marked "firstolafl matter," but which proves to be something else when opened for examination. The Silver Slipper" began Its first engagement in Indianapolis at English's yest 1 lay. There was a matinee which drew a really fine crowd, and an evening perCOrmanca that drew an audience of good size. The local theater-goers were hoping to witness another "Florodora," but they were doomed to disappointment both as to the musical comedy itself and the company that presented it. From a musical standpoint the piece is not without merit. 1 here is every variety of tune in the score by Leslie Stuart and some of the melodies are jingling enough to start the feet agoing and the galleryites a-whistllng. Some of the leading members of the cast are fully

7. l" requirements, and no blame can be shifted upon their shoulders for the lack of merit in the performance. A better libretto was to have been expected of Owen Hall, and a better chorus and handsomer stage settings were to have been expected of Wnh r v Kyley. The setting for the first act looks positively "stingy," and the street fair setting in the second act calls to mind the so-called "burlettas" in the cheaper theater, with their shabby, "hand-me-down" equipments. Mr. Hall, who wrote the "book," is the young Englishman who turned out the clever librettos of "Florodora," "The Artist's Model" and a number of other successful musical pieces. His work in this instance is far from being on a par with that of his co-worker, Mr. Stuart. His theme is whimsically humorous but is very poorly handled, and the story is foolishly disconnected. The plot, which promises well at the start, is relegated to the background by the introduction of features the relevancy of which is apparently given no consideration. There is no call for repeating the story of the "The Silver Slipper" here, as it wouldn't prove in. the least interesting. There are several specialties introduced that are really enjoyable, and which met with warm approval last night, the audience being only too delighted to find something worth while. The "Champagne Pance" is a genuine novelty. It starts off with the bubbling briskness of a newlyopened bottle of Mumm's and there Is no diminishment of the excitement until the last strains of the musical accompaniment are sounded. The line dancing girls, who perform it, are capable exponents of t. rpsicheorean art, and the gowns they wear are pretty "creations." Another clever feature of the show the word show is the right one is the song, "Four and Twelve Little Men." which, by the way. was "Four and Twenty Little Men" in the original production. The men sit in a rowon gilded chairs, running diagonally across the staffs, and Gertrude Milllngton renders the ditty very daintily. Other bright numbers are "Two Eyes of Blue." "You and M -." "The Baby With the Dimple and the Smile-' and "The Girl You Love," and all of these are weil sung. Gertrude Millington carries the greater burden of the piece on her little dimpled shoulders. Without her the entertainment would be a dreary one. She is a winsome soubrette, graceful and pretty, and her

voice, while not that of a prima donna, is very pleasing. The best part of the score falls to her lot. and this is a mighty good thing for the present company. She wears boys' clothes in a most charming fashion, and her performance, as a whole, is praiseworthy. Thomas J. Keough. the comedian of the show, has a hard time getting any fun out of the poor material provided, but his work suggests that he could do much better in a good part. The character of a coekney maid is well portrayed by Virginia Pnlmer. whose dialect is well-nigh perfect and who deserves more applause than she received last night for her rendition of the song. "Class. " Harry B. Bursher possesses a good baritone voice and Horace Wright is a tenor of ability, but neither of these lei UnfJ male stager Is actor enough to play hits part efT ctively.

Max Winne, finding it rather difficult, apparently, to keep the voices with the instrument iti n during some of he concerted number. "The Silver Slipper" will be given for the last time here this evening. Theatrical Votes. In presenting "The Spenders." William H. Crane is carrying out a resolve made several years ago that he would produce none but American plays by American authors. It Is to this actor's cre-dit that he has done much in a solid, substantial way to encourage native dramatists. It was through his efforts that such writers as Martha Morton, David D. Lloyd. Sydney Rosenfeld and I : nklyn Fyles became known. To Clyde Fiteh. Brander Matthews, Bronsou Howard and Augustus Thomas h-. gave encouragem nt at times early in their careers when ucouTugemt nt to persevere was very sweet as well as very necessary. "The Spenders" is the seventeei.th American play that Mr. 'raiie has prduied in as many tir. This Is a reeotd that is not antiroarhed h nnv

, other actor. It is understood that Manager

haries rreiiman has supplied him with an excellent sutoorting company this season aud has provided a line production of the new play. Mr. "r; ue's Indianapolis engagement will open to-morrow evening and he will remain at English's for a matinee and evening performances Saturday. The seats for the three performances are now on sale.
