FORDES ROBERTSON AND GERTRUDE ELLIOTT. In One of the Strong Love bcenes In "The Light that Failed" at English's.

Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. FNlyCE. Variety. 3 and 8 p. m. Forbe Robertson in "The I. in lit That Fulled." That the play is not always "the thing" was sufficiently demonstrated last night at English's when the distinguished English actor, Forbes Robertson, appeared for the first time in Indianapolis In the stage version of Rudyard Kipling's "The Light That Failed" before a good-sized audience. It may be said with considerable certainty that Mr. Robertson's impersonation of Dick Heldar will be remembered long after the play itself is forgotten. Not that, the dramatization by Constance Fletcher is a poor one, for, on the contrary, it is as good as could have been expected, so much finer than anything else in the drama that it is this dominating feature of the performance that must necessarily remain in one's memory to the exclusion of all accompanying features of the play. It has been a long time since an actor of such power has graced the local stage. It would seem thut he lacks nothing that a dramatic star of the first magnitude should possess. He has dignity, force, strong in tellectuality, a handsome face, a graceful figure, a musical voice of marvelous variety and Intensity of color, and to the füllest extent he realizes every element of passion, pathos, grief and noble exaltation that the role of Dick Heldar affords. While it cannot be truthfully said that his charming wife, Gertrude Elliott, rises to his artistic height, this fair young American actress proves a most excellent partner and gives a portrayal of Maisie that, while somewhat colorless at first, gains in naturalness as the play progresses and finally impresses one with its tenderness, girlish fervor and charm. It is a peculiar play so different from Kipling and yet so like him at times. Miss Fletcher or George Fleming, as she prefers to be called has followed the incidents of the novel closely enough for one to recognize the fact that Kliding was the creator of the story and the characters, but she has taken so many liberties that the rugged British writer must have writhed in his seat when he first viewed the play in London. Kipling is altogether masculine and never loses himself in romance; the adapter of "The Light That Failed" is thoroughly feminine, despite her nom de plume, and so romantic that she could even succeed in transforming the supremely selfish Maisie into a sympathetic woman whose heart beats with love for others and whose mind Is filled with something besides her own life and nmbitions. Kipling himself finally allowed his publishers to coax him into writing a "happy ending" to the original story, thus injuring the artistic value of his book, and of course this ending has been followed out in the play. But this lends to add to the good effect of the stage version where it detracted from the original work so different Is the viewpoint of the play-goer from that of the novel reader. On the whole, the dramatist has done her work well, for it was no easy matter to preserve the Kipling atmosphere when adding the necessary romance and "The Light That Failed" in its theatrical form is interesting and appealing. The adaptation is necessarily disconnected and for those who are not familiar with the book the story, as told on the stage, must be difficult to follow. The prologue shows the camp scene of the war correspondents in the Soudan. It is a strikingly fine stage setting, with a magnificent painting in the background showing the desert. Dick Heldar has received the saber cut that is to cause him such sorrow and, as he freis under his blinding bandages, he is the object of kindly solicitude from his companions, while his chum, Torpenhow, acts as his nurse. During a raging fever, Oick is in love with the girl comrade of his way through the conversation of the correspondentsthe auditor is informed that Dick is in love with the girl comrade of his boyhood. Sounds of firing rouse the "specials," who hurry off to witness the engagement. Unable to withstand the temptation Dick tears off the bandages and the curtain falls on his dearly-bought temporary power of sight. The rest of the story is told in three acts and four scenes. Dick returns to London to paint some pictures that he has had in mind. He tries in vain to win Maisie for his wife. She refuses his offer, as she is filled with ambition to win fame as an artist on her own account. Dick worships her. They are driven conflicting! y to a sort of trial of artistic strength. She will paint a "Melancholia" rather than marry him and he will paint one against her. Dick lends assistance to a poor girl of the London streets Hessie Broke a cockney of an unr generate type who is almost dead of starvation, and this creature becomes his model. She is an evil little person. The artist's big, handsome friend, Torpenhow. is her ideal; she learns to adore him. and Dick, fearing that his chum will be caught In the net which the girl is trying to entwine about him. dismisses her. She conceives a fiendish hatred for the artist, although he has been tier lenefactor, and attempts in every way to ruin him. When Dick takes to drink it is she who fills his glass and tempts him to unman himself again and again. In a moment of passion she destroys his picture. His doom reaches him. The light fails. He Incomes blind. Maisie knows nothing of all this. With her companion, the Red-Haired Girl, who. as In the book, is never given another name she takes a little cottage iu France, at Vltry-sur-Marne. bent upon pursuing her artistic work. Torpenhow brings her the news of Dick's trouble. Her heart is touched as it has never been touched before and she starts at once for England in company with the faithful friend of her lover. The unfortunate Red-Haired Girl Is left behind to weep quietly to hersi If. She has loved Dick in silence from the very first. Poor, gentle, sweet, womanl RedHaired Girl! you feel awfully sorry for her When Maisie comes to Dick in his studio, she is repell. .! by him. for he thinks that it is only pity for his condition tii.it his brought her to his side. But it is not pity; it is love and the girl finally convinces him that her heart and life belong to him and that his words, uttered to her long before, have proved true the words, "there are just three things that matter birth and death and love." Dick taxes her in his arms and holds 1 l'f to his heart. It Is the happy

ending" but what a pathetic "happy ending!" The audience is in tears as the curtain fails. It is a fine cast, from Mr. Robertson him self down to Miss Minnie Griffin, who appears for only three minutes in an excellent characterization of old Mrs. Hayne. The work of the star, as before mentioned, is of rare artistic value and Miss Elliott's Masle is all that could be desired. A capital actor is C. Aubrey Smith, whose portrayal of good old Torpenhow is splendidly effective. Miss Auriol le Is very successful in the role of Bessie Broke, although occasionally overemphatic in bringing out the "toughness" of the girl's nature. The Red-Haired Girl is played by Miss Ruth Berkeley just as the role should be played somewhat stupidly, but with a certain amount of womanliness that causes the heart of the spectator to throb sympathetically for this unattractive young woman who asks nothing and gets it. All of the minor roles are In the hands ot thoroughly capable players, and it la seldom that a drama Is so well acted in every detail. "The Light That Failed" will be repeated at the matinee this afternoon, and "Hamlet" will be the bill this evening. Mr. Robertson is deserving of crowded houses, for the opportunity to see such an actor comes but seldom. His rendering of Hamlet tonight should be a memorable performance, for if ever a man seemed to be fitted to play this most difficult role that man is Forbes Robertson, whose fine intelligence and consistent artistic purpose make hin one of the most conspicuous figures in the theatrical world of the present day. Theatrical Motes. The Grand wlU have one of the strongest vaudeville bills of its season next week unless all signs fail. Henry Lee and Eltie Fay. who will head the programme, are both vaudeville entertainers of the first rank and they have never been seen in In- , dlanajwlis in their present specialties. In fact. Miss Fay is a newcomer to the local stage, although her name has long been well known to local theatergoers. Henry Lee has been seen in Indianapolis, but bWT ST as a vaudeville star. He was formerly an actor of the legitimate school and has essayed many Important roles, even succeeding at one time in giving a fairly good portrayal of Cyrano de Bergerac. His impersonat ons are said to be admirable, and his act promises to be a novelty. Miss Fay will sing her latest songs, including her "Belle of Avenue A," which was such a great success in New York. Charles Sweet, "the musical burglar." will not appear on the programme owing to serious illness, but his place will be filled by Louis McCord and company in what is said to be a clever farcical sketch. Other contributors will be Talbott and Rogvrs, in a comedy act; Sherman and De Forest in "The Battle of Dan Dago;" Ford and Wilson, singers and comedians; Valmore and Horton, high-class dancers, and Gardner and Maddern, comedians. The last two performances of the current programme will take place to-day, affording the final opportunities to see the sier Zouaves in their interesting drill and Taffary's trained dogs in their comical exhibition. "The Volunteer Organist" will close Its successful engagement at the Park with matinee and evening performances to-day. It is a melodrama of the conventional kind, but is not without commendable features, and is a much better play than many that have been seen at the Park of late. The company engaged in presenting it is a wellbalanced organization ami the piece is nicely staged. The scene, used in the first act, showing a small New England village with picturesque hills In the distance, is an excellent painting. The Park will have "The Smart Set." a musical farce, and David Belasco's play. "The Heart of Maryland," as its next week's attractions. The latter offering will be one of unusual importance for this popular playhouse. The really meritorious burlesque shows on the road this season are proving strong drawing cards. The Fay Foster company. one of the best combinations of its class to visit Indianapolis this year, has enjoyed a big week's business at the Empire. The progressive managers Interested in this sort of entertainment are doing away with stale specialties, ancient jokes and objectionable dialogue and devoting their attention to giving the public something worth while. The specialties of Lawrence Crane, the magtcian, and the three wonderful cyclists, Mosher. Houghton and Mosher. would lend distinction to the Fay Foster show if there were no other good features in it. But the entertainment Is above the average from start to finish. Next week the Empire will have Phil Sheridan's "City Sports" as its offering. Some of the New York writers on theatrical topics appear to have a very poor opinion of popular taste In London. Speaking of a recent London production an American dramatic editor states that "as it was not a success New Yorkers may look for it with a good deal of confidence next season." Under these conditions no English playwright should be without hope, as he may hear in the hisse? of gallery first nighters In London the promise of ultimate triumph across the ocean. Seven London productions are now holding the boards in New York, and some of them wer- not at all successful in the British metropolis. On the other hand, "Captain Dieppe" and "Little Mary," which were failures on this side, have met with great favor in England. Henry W. Savage's English Grand Opera Company is just now a heartily welcomed visitor to a number of cities smaller than those usually visited by so great an organization. There has been no abridgement of the forces for this tour, which aas instituted to test the frequently voiced claim that really high-class amusements would find ample support outside the beaten track of "week stands." The experiment has been so exceedingly satisfactory that Mr. Savage may extend his field still further next year. The company will be In Indianapolis for an engagement of two nights and a matinee the third week in March. Soprano Sues for Smhi. MINNEPOLIS. Minn., Feb. 26.

Some dainty opera bags are shown in soft shadow silks of various colors draarn up on the golden cords a-ith silk cords and little rings. The price of a silk bag of this style is $2. The brass letters for making the nea-er bags are very. big and flat and the usual three initials of the bag s owner cover the surface of a good-sized bag pretty effectually. The letters are fifty cents apiece. Pretty embroidered sets for the decoration of the summer shlrta-alst suit are embroidered in fleur de lis or other effective designs in heavy white cotton. The sets include the stock, cuffs, band for the front and in many cases little extra bands for further decoration. Lace medallions, both ahite and black, art1 promised as among the most favored of the summer's trimmings and already a variety of dainty things are shown in the decorative bits of lace. The round and oval designs have been replaced to a considerable extent by the square patterns and in both lace and embroidery there are some effective patterns shown in the squares a-hkh are to be set either straight or diamond-wise. In spite of the recent rage for canvas turnovers in cross-stitch and the newer vogue of tiny ruchings as a neck finish, the drawn work turnover is still in high favor and one shop is shoadng a number of new designs in the effective draam patterns. The fine needle work appeals to most women and the dainty turnovers have the quality of eternal freshness aithout feat Of fading or spoiling. The patterns in lace hosiery are prettier and more elaborate this spring than ever and one of the prettiest effects is the plain medallion set in the lace boot. One deBtaw shows a diamond-shaped square just above the instep in the center of ahich is embroidered a tiny cluster of purple grapes, the only bit of color. Another design shows tiny dots of white in an elaborate pattern making out a chain of diamonds in the center of each of which is embroidered a single yellow flower. The designs are all small and delicate but exceedingly effective. WOMEN CRUSHED TO DEATH IN ELEVATOR Horrible Fatality to Motber and Daughter in tbe Statehouse at Des Moines, Ia. DES MOIXKS. Ia..

MAGAZINE,

MANY LUXURIOUS GOWNS ARE SHOWN AMONG SPRING MODELS

They Suggest Extravagance, hut a Large Number of Women Seem Able to Afford Them.

Verily do fashions grow more marvelous and more intricate a-ith each new set of models that is disclosed. Simplicity seems not only dead, but forgotten, and elaboration makes the watchword of the hour. To the amount of labor there seems no limit. The number of materials combined in one costume grows bigger and bigger. Intricate handwork greets one on every side. When one remembers how skilled labor must be paid even the prices asked do not seem too much, in spite of the fact that they sound prohibitive to all but a-ealthy ears, and one marvels how so many women seem able to afford luxury such as appears to have become general rather than the exception. What is known as English or a jour embroidery, in reality only the familiar sort in openaork designs, is much liked. Fine shirrings and hand-sewed tucks are many. Fancy stitchings are freely used. All things and everything that means labe and cost are correct until one is tempted, sometimes, to remember hoa- in the height of her luxury and extravagance Rome fell and to wonder when and hoa- will the end come, for surely things cannot go on, extravagance cannot continue to grow as it has groa-n a-lthout some dire results that it might be well for the feminine aorld to forecast and to prevent to some extent at least. We all love pretty gowns. What true woman ever failed to feel an interest in chiffons? But between good taste and even rare beauty in dress and the mad luxury of the present is set a a-lde, a-ide gulf. Often results are not beautiful, designs are killed by their overexcess. Some day American women a-ill wiike up to the fact that such costumes do not enhance their charm, that they are lovelier by far when 1 ss a-elghted aith their clothes and a-hen that day comes not all the dictators of Paris, not all the designers in France will be able to prevent the rebellion that is bound to occur. But it is not my function either to preach or to forecast. I may fc !. and do feel, that the overluxury of the moment Is far from desirable, produces little real beauty, it nevertheless remains my duty to tell you what is new and to leave criticism and discrimination to each individual mind. PLEASURE IN FINK FAHRICS. Fabrics are exquisite. So much a'e all must admit and genuine pleasure is the result, for it a la-ays means keen delight to see colors well blended and textures that take beautiful folds and lines. Whether one buy silk at many dollars or cotton at a fea- cents a yard her aesthetic taste can be gratified, her natural craving for beauty appeased In a truly legitimate way. A aalk through the shops is a revelation, for, from the cheapest to the most costly, materials seem all to have been designed with an artist's eye, but often the made-up gown falls of its promise because of overdoing, for the reason that too many trimmings have been used or certain fundamental laas have been overlooked. As usual. Dame Fashion has had in mind the tall and the slender, those ideal creatures who are lovely let them wear a'hat they will, and apparently has forgotten those who most need her aid. As a result a-e see many strange things and the need to be a-ary is great. It is so easy to be charmed by the costume and to forget hoa- its appearance a-ill change a-hen it is worn by an individual of quite different type from the one the designer had in mind. I ha . , hoa-ever, seen some really lovely things and, as is always the case, one can be well dressed ailhout violating any tenets of good taste if only she buy carefully, select with prudence and bear ever in mind the axiom that only those things which suit her own peculiar style are good for her, let others be as tempting, as intrinsically beautiful as they may. It is to be a season of all soft things. To our eyes nothing else seems possible for the many shirrings. the tucks and the general fullness, yet how completely that fact in itsdf shoa-s the advancement we have made. We are copying 1830 modes. A glance at any portrait of that neriod reveals that ' fact, but in 1S30 silks stood alone and thev knew nothing of such lovely creations as chiffon velvet, crepe voile and a host of others that are household a-ords to-day. One of the prettiest gowns I have been able to see is of the new chiffon voile and is woven in a tiny check'of broan and a-hite. j The skirt is soft and full, as indeed are nearly all the new ones, and is shirred be-loa-a shallow yoke of brown silk. This yoke Is scalloped in groups of two with ! plain spaces between and doa-n the center front in a r.arroa- band of silk scalloped to ! match at each edge. Round the foot of the skirt is a gathered flounce, with above it a aide full puff that droops over the heading. The blouse is a full one with yoke of lace I and silk and the aide puffed slcev n I finished with deep falls of finer lace, while the crushed belt or girdle is of taffeta held by a clasp in dull grdd. A WARM WEATHER COSTUME. A second costume, designed for warmweather visiting, is of pale blue crepe de chine and also is much shirred, but shoas four bands of spangled trimming, two at the front, ta-o at the back, that extend from belt to hem and serve to give desirable lines The blouse is a full, soft one bdew a yoke of exquisite lace, enriched with nail-heads of turquoise and pearl with steel spangles that harmonixe with the skirt trimming without being a match. At the waist is a belt of blue chiffon velvet held by a a-ide buckle of cut steel set with pearls and turquoises. While the sleeves are huge and shirred to form two a-ide puffs each, below a-hich are flare cuffs finished with the falls of lace aithout which no really handsome costume is complete. The long jwrpendicular lines on the skirt given by the bands of passementerie, are peculiarly worthy of note and go to show how already there is an effort being made to get away from the broad and rotund effect of the round-and-round shining and tucks. Full the skirt must be, is the decree of the autocrats, but some of the folk who wear the gowns have minds and eyes with which they think and see, with the result that these long lines have already appeared and just what is in the future none can tell as yet. OM V -ading Importer assured me to-day that he jaw nothing else in view, but another showed me some plain, much-llared models trimmed in novel ways, saying: "Many women simply wou't wear the full aM and, while we recognixe that they are in beat style, we find it aeoaaaary to have something to meet the other demand. " It has be n said again and again that we a re to have a season of color and that white Ir. on the wane, but I see exquisit, ly beautiful white gowns und. in my own judgment, they will be many although there will, doubtless, be mors color than the

' Lai .:- Touchee of 1 Id aa 1 have stated in previous letters, are essentially chic. A moat exquisite evening gown, sent over from a noted Parisian huae, is made aith a skirt that is all flounce of repress! lace ever white silk veiled with chiffon spangled with gold. The bodice la low with a bertha formed by a frill of lace and big. unlined aleevs of the lace and ribbon, that is soft and white with threads of gold, makes the sash whose loruj ends art finish. -d with hows of one loop each, tied la, that prevent the rolling up which often la ao trving. The effect of the spaoajlaa through the lace is exquisite, they are elusiv.-, fascinating, but never aggressive aa gold ever should be. A second gown la of heavy lace, in des'gn much like renaissance, but made with a silk cord in place of lace braid, made into a circular flounce that nearly covers the foundation of taffeta, leaving only a plain yoke of the silfl. With this the low bodice Is of chiffon witla a bertha of the lace and elaborate garniture of pale pink roses, floa-ers so used being much in vogue. Spangles are to be worn galore. They have been many the season through, but are to be used in still

bigger numbers with the spring and are shown in some marvelously attractive iridescent colors. As lovely a goa-n as one need ask Is pale green trimmed with greene and pale pinks and includes big. full, unlined sleeves of tulle that extend to the wrists and are held by spangled bands. THE SPENCER WAIST. I think I have already had occasion to mention the number of waists In spencer style that are seen with some bolero, cape or fancy overwaist to match the skirt. aOt.e of the newest is made of pastel blue satin faced cloth and is both charming in itself and because it affords relief after the very elaborate things one sees. The skirt ia tucked to yoke depth at the seams and is laid in two groups of horizontal tucks at the lower part, one of four tucks st the edge, one of three above with a space between. The w .list is of point d'esprlt with, a front of lace and full sleeves that are gathered to form frills at the wrists. Over it is a s. cond one of blue, that is open at the front and so cut out as to form a yoke -with straps, betwein und beloar which tho -white waist is seen. Its sleeves are loose and are cut In one with it. forming upper portions only that fall over the white ones and terminate at the elbows. The belt is pointed at the back, plain at the front and is of blue with bands of gold. For street wear, that is, church going and the like, we are to have many materials, but none, I think, is better than the new soft taffeta that allows of all the fashionable tucks and shirrings and is offered in a multitude of lovely tones and colors. Beige promises to be one of the favorites of sprint, and a most elegant costume is made in that color of the taffeta trimmed with the openwork embroidery to which I have already referred, executed on the ailk and with the new puffings that are otulined with braid so narrow as to become mere threads of gold. The skirt is full, with a narrow, gathered flounce, above which is an embroidered frill headed by one of silk finished aith a shirred puff, and a second puff at about knee depth. The little coat Is a blouse Eton with triple capes and that rolls open to form revers. The under cape is plain, the second and third are embroidered and the revers are faced with white edged with puffs and between them Is to be seen the waist of white chiffon with lace collar. The sleeves are full, above embroidered cuffs and form puffs over which aro frills of needlework and upper aleevea that terminate in tucks. Over the hands fall the inevitable lace frills, and the soft belt la held bv a jeweled clasp. Similar costumea how blouses and Etona of varying styles, but little else. STYLES FOR THE THEATER, One of the prettiest styles for those slender women who are the envy of all othera, is the blouse Eton with double yoke. A charming one is of veiling with the upper yoke cut In points and of chiffon velvet edged with a tiny fancy braid. The under yoke is of the material and is cat to extend over the shoulders, the blouse and sleeves being shirred nd joined thereto. Simpler ones, suited to the useful sulta that we must have whether the luxurious ones follow or do not, are made with fancy collars that give the broad line and are smart aldle quite free of fuss. One that I liked especially well is made with moderately full sleeves and flare cuffs and was shoa-n me In one of the new cheviots that are so charming. The collar is shaped to form battlement points at front and back a-ith a box plait effect at the center back and finishing the neck and front edges im a shaped band of plain cloth stitched. The costume as I saw it included a skirt with a plain narrow front and tucks over the hips and at the back that held the fullnea for a few Inches below the belt while at fhe lower edge were folds stitched on at the upper edge only. With all these costumea for street wear are hats of many charming" si .p. - and styles, for. cavil as we may at many things, hats are good in every sense. At this aritlng there is space only to tell vou so much, but next week I hope to describe a few of them in full and to give some satisfactory idea of what the season is to bring. Just now February is treating us to a few of the ml'd. delusive days for which the month is uoted and which do so much to tempt us into spring buying. Doubtless another taenty-fc ur hours aill see us ice, if not snow-bound, but are are grateful for this wee tesptle, and the bit of warm sunsniri.- n.is 11. rn. 0 our in"ugnu 10 the hats of the coming season with a aast we could not feel a week ago, ao when I do write It aill be con amors even if a blizzard should overtake us between this and then.
