Forbes Robertson as Hamlet
A new Hamlet came before an Indianapolis audience last night at Knglish s in the person of Forbes Robertson, whose faultless and fascinating portrayal of Lrtck Heldar in Kiplings -The Light That Failed" the evening before and at yesterday's matinee had led discriminating playgoers to look forward to a rare artistic treat in his interpretation of the Prince of Denmark. Merely to say that this newcomer from England realised all the promises made for him In his production of Chakspeares Immortal tragedy would be to praise him but half enough. His lerlormance was truly great In every sense of the word. If a rtner artist than he graces the stage at the present day that artist has not been seen in this city. That "Hamlft ' should be played so magnificently before an audience that only half filled the theater does not speak well for a city the size of Indianapolis. The opportunity to see "Hamlet" enacted at all Is rare nowadays; lo si,e the strangely Interesting tragedy given a suberb presentation is an event of a lifetime. Mr. Robertson's engagement here has not been a brilliant financial ticcass. although, from the artistic viewpoint, it has been by far the most noteworthy theatrical offering of the season. The explanation for the comparatively small audiences cannot be based Upon the lenten season, .i- English's was packed the week before last during the performances of a frivolous musical show; the prices of admission cannot have been responsible, as they were entirely reasonable, being lower than those charged by several stars who are not to be compared with Robertson. If small audiences were du to the fact that Indianapolis was ignorant of Robertson's standing as an actor, then it would seem that Indianapolis should be t.rushed up on the theatrical affairs of the world in general. The Hamlets that have been on the stage alnce the time of Edwin Booth are extinguished utterly and permanently by the brilliancy of Robertson's inspired conception. Nature has richly equipped the English actor with the requisites for the character in a wonderfully xpiessiv. face and a graceful figure, and his scholarship, magnetism, musical voice and keen sense of the artistic raise his imtersonation to such a high plane that It must be enumerated among the genuine masterpieces of th modern stage With his poetic temperament and striking personality he Is the Ideal Hamlet. He has mo need to disguise himself beyond wearing the garb of the Prince. His style, with its freedom from hackneyed device, Its lucidity and repression and his admirable reading of blank verse an art that has been well-nigh forJorgotten by the ordinary actor make his Melancholy Dane a stag' tion that wili always be remembered by those who have been foftunate enough to see it. Those who have read something of Forbes Robertson's career know that he is one of the most com pralle ive Shakspearian student? the modern stage has seen. When he was playing the part of the Duke of Buckingham to Sir Henry Irving s Richard 111 the English play-goers dectaied that he Was born to play Hamlet, and had he fol-
SLEEP IS PRICELESS.
Bat It tan lie Obtained by Simple Mel buds. Are you a hard worker? Are you overcome with fatigue at the end of each day's labor, and instead of retiring to bed with a feeling of satisfaction at the prospect of a night's repose, do you wait the hour of bedtime with dread and shrinking? Is It your unhappy lot to be awakened every night. Just after you have dropped off to sleep, by an intense, uncontrollable Itching of the rectum? Do y. i then endeavor to relieve the sensation by .scratching so deserately that the skin become raw and lacerated, and you finally sink into the sleep of exhaustion? If so. you do not need to be told that you an afflicted with itching piles. You have probably tried every remedy you c mjUI hear of with but temporary relief. If any. and have concluded there was nothing left for you but to drug out a miserable existence. As a drowning man grasps at a straw, so should yu eagerly devour the words of W. i). Milbury. 70 Pearl street, Reading,
lowed the advice of his admirers he would have appeared as the Prince of Denmark at an early age. But he is an artist, every inch of him. and he had no intention of taking up the most complex of all stage characters until he was absolutely certain that he had grasped it in its every phase and detail. He loved Shakspeare and Hamlet too well to attempt to realise the Bard of Avon's greatest work until he felt that his own art had reached its ripest maturity. And so he waited patiently many years, studying the while with tireless enthusiasm, and now that he has offered his Interpretation tip the theater-going public it Is found that he rises magnificently to a height that cannot be epiestioned. and presents a Hamlet that is surely the best of this day, and one that must be considered on a par with the greatest Hamlets of the past. The supporting company, as In "The Light That Failed," did most commendable work. The Ophelia of Gertrude KJliott was a surprisingly convincing performance, her rendition of the famous mad scene be
ing particularly effective. Those who had seen her portrayal of Maisie in the Kipling play did not look for such splendid acting in the intricate Shakspearian character, but .it must be said that she sustained the various moods of Ophelia with well-directed intelligence and held the sympathy of her audience from beginning to end. The King of Denmark was played with distinction by Ian Robertson, brother of the star and the stage director of the company. He looked the part aM acted it well, although occasionally fa1 ng into a somewhat mechanical reading of the blank verse a fault that is so often noticeable In Shakspearian players. The ghost was interpreted by C. Aubrey Smith, who gave a tine reading of the lines, and the Quae a, Hamlet's mother, was admirably portrayed by Miss Jennie Sustace, the only American In the cast. Miss Eustace, who has often been seen in Indianapolis in prominent companies, was especially engaged by Mr. Robertson to play this part during his present tour, and the actor showed good judgment in his se.ection. Arthur Harrold as Horatio, Guy Lane as Polonlus, Leon Quartermalae an Laertes, James J. Ryan as the First I layer and Ernest Cosham as the First Gravedlgger were good in their respective roles, and the minor characters were all in the hands of capable players. Mr. Robertson's acting version of "Hamlet" has been prepared chiefly from the Cambridge and Variorum editions of Shakspeare. All of the actlou, save the graveyard scene, takes place in and about Elsfnore castle, which readily commends itself, for the reasons that there is less change of scene, thus allowing more scope and action to the characters. A more impressive production of the drama has never been seen in Indianapolis, the settings being massive and strikingly handsome, while the stage management was unusually adequate. The final scene of the tragedy was given as it has never been presented before. Iustead of the customary theatrical death of Hamlet, the melancholy prince dies peacefully from
the poisonous wound while seated on th throne of his father the throne that has just been left vacant by the murderous brother of the dead monarch and the curtain falls as Hamlet's dead body Is being carrier away on the shield by four soldiers. The play was received with enthusiasm by the audience. Mr. Robertson aas warmly applauded again aud agaiu, and was called before the curtain at the end of the third act. Miss Elliott, too, was the recipient of much applause and good work by other players in the cast was not overlooked It was a memorable performauce in a memorable engagement. MASONIC ORDER MAY EXLARGE QUARTERS The proposition to build a new temple for the Scottish Rite will be taken under consideration by that body to-morrow night. On account of the large membership that the order has at this time the present Quarters are deemed insufficient.
"I am phased to state that I bought one flfty-cent bo of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store, and used about one-half of it, and It not only cured me of itching piles, but also of constipation, a trouble of about fifteen years standing. I have tried almost everything without any lasting benefit, but 1 can honestly and truthfully state that Pyrami 1 Pile Cure has entirely cured me. as I have had no return of that terrible Itching, which used to keep me awake by the hour, night after night. if the old trouble should ever return I will know lust what to do, hut I guess it WOO t for it is now six or seven months since I tirst used this wonderful remedy. We vouch for the authenticity of this testimonial, and as Mr. Milbury found relief and a cure, so you may also. Do not delay, but buy a box and try it to-night, and do not allow any dealer to aell you "something Just as good." You will do well to write Pyramid !rug Company. Marshal'. Mich., for their little book on the a uses and curs of piles, which is sent free lor Um asking.

FIGHT IN LONELY SrOT
Atter a fight, in which he shot three times at Big Four Officer Winetrant, Chas. Parks was arrested by the officer ladt night for petit larceny and shooting with intent lo kill. Parks was discovered by the officer stealing wheat from a car in the yards at Brightwood. The officer was nearly on him before Parks was aware of it, but with an oath he pulled his revolver and fired three tinns at Winetrant. While the officer was fighting hand-to-hand with him, Parks managed to free the hand holding the revolver and pressed It against Wlnetrant's side, pulled the trigger three times, but the charges failed to explode. Throwing the gun away, he made a desperate struggle for liberty. For over 100 feet along the tracks the two men fought until the officer, after a struggle, knocked Parks down. Help was quickly summoned and Parks offered no further resistance.

Girl Tells Story of How She Became a Fugitive from the Reformatory. INJURED IN HER ESCAPE Carrie Knapp, who escaped from the Women's Reformatory early Saturday morning, was ariested last night by Detective! Splan and Haley at 337 East Louisiana street, where she was staying with a family named Wright. The girl told the officers that she had intended to go to Frankfort Saturday night and if they had been a few minutes later she would have escaped arrest. The girl said that she escaped from the dormitory by tying three blankets together and lowering herself from one of the windows. The blankets were too short aud she dropped about fifteen feet before she reached the ground. The force of the fall stunned her and she told the officers that for several minutes she was unable to move. Gaining strength she scaled the fence and walked through side fctreets to the home of some of her relatives ou West Washington street near the Statehousc. Finding they had moved the girl went to a place on McCarty street, but the people she knew there also had moved By telling a pitiful story to the Wrights she was allowed to stay with them over night. She will be returned to the Reformatory this morning.
