UMPIRE. Burlesque. 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Variety. 3 and 8 p. m. vir Henry Irving in "I.onis XI." Henry Irving, whose unembelllshcd name, as William Winter once remarked, is more honorable than any title could make it. effected his reappearance befsre an Indianapolis public last night at English's, when he was seen in one of his greatest stage creations Louis XI, in the play of that name. An audience of good proportions greeted the famous English actor and accorded him the cordial welcome that he deserved. The play of "Louis XI," adapted by Dion Boucicault from the French of Casimir Delavigne, who, in his turn, based his drama upon Sir Walter Scott's "Qucntin Durward," is essentially an Irving playtheatric, but inviting the influx of a great artist's manterful interpretation. The drama is built upon inaccurate pictures of the truth, but Sir Henry's spirit of original creation, wonderfully tempered by genius of adaptation and precision of expression, give it an artistic value that it has never known at the hands of. any other player. Many other actors have essayed the role of the crafty, hyprocritical, vindictive old French monarch, but not one of them has ever succeeded, as Sir Henhy has done, in leaving in the minds of his auditors an image that can never bo forgotten. After witnessing his powerful performance of last evening it is easily understood why English play-goers have not allowed the distinguished actor to drop the character from his repertoire during the last twentylive years. Sir Henry's embodiment of the meanlooking King, who bore in his person plain marks of that decrepitude which characterised so many of his race, has become one of the classics of the modern stage. Louis XI is a fascinating subject to read about and as pictured last night by an actor -who realized perfectly every quality lor which the monarch was noted the character became a remarkable study. There is something peculiarly fascinating in the contrast between the mean appearance of Louis and the vast result of his reign between the splendor of the older feudalism, so brilliant and so öawftess and the shabby garb and deprecatory manners of this first of the modern Kings of France. The portraits of Louis XI give him a .-mall and cunning eye, a long aquiline nose, a cruel, cynical mouth and hair that ualls on his shoulders. Sir Henry preseuts a striking reproduction of these portraits through the employment of a most effective make-up and facial expr ssion that is remarkable. No coarse vices are charged against Louis by historians and the actor pictures him as a man whose physical weakness disinclined him from all excess ard open violence a man with a singular coldness and hardness of disposition, who, false to the core himself, lived in an atmosphere of deceit and distrust. Superstitious to an unusual degree ami naturally timid, he could show himself, upon occasion, as very fearless. The actor makes it evident that the strangest element in Louis's nature was his religion, picturing the French King as i devotee without fair and one who, although willing to perform all kinds of outward worship, had absolutely no belief in God. Mean of soul, mentally alert, physically feeble, and disposed to take a low view of his own character as well as that of others, Louis XI, as portrayed by Irving, is one of the most interesting of historical characters ever represented on the stage, and the play, which is not to be classed a a great one, becomes valuable solely on this accound. Sir Henry held the earnest attention of the audience from first to last, and after each act was the recipient of long and enthusiastic applause. In response to the demonstration of approval at the end of the thlid act he made a short speech, thankirg the playgoers of Indianapolis for their warm greeting. It was in this act that he was at his best. Nothing liner has ever been seen on a local stage than his rendering of the old King's serious moods and passions during this wonderful scene in the monarch's bedchamber. What a terrible ligure the old man presented when damning his physician, Jacques Cortier, for allowing the yourg Due He Nemours to escape from his clutches! What a pitiful picture he was when pleading with the priest for "just ten more years of life!" And what a fearful sight he became, when, waving his dagger helplessly above his h. ad. he cried, in a voice paralyzed with rage, for the blood of his enemy! In this scene Irving rose to sublime heights, but never throughout the entire play was he for a moment out of touch with the character. He actually lived the part, and it cashed poor taste on the part of the audience to compel him to come out of the character in order to make a speech. The supporting company was good without being especially noteworthy. Mal. 1 , Hackey. as the Dauphin, guve an admiraI ble portrait of the light-hearted hoy. look- ! ing the part and playing it well-nigh per- ! fectly. Gerald Lawrence, a young actor of handsome stage presence, was good to gaze upon in the character of the heroic Lue De Nemours, but seemed rather Inclined to rant in the more stressful passage's of his part. Nora Iancaster made a sweet and beautiful Marie, and acted the role sympathetically, while Laura Burt was artistic in the small part of the peasant girl, Martha, who flatters the decrepit old monarch in order to save the life of her lover. An excellent characterisation was that of James Hearne, as the King's physician, Cortier. his scene in tho third act, when he denounces the sinful ruler, being a splendid piece of acting. Mark Paton was equal to requirements as Philip De fommines, and the minor roles were in good hands. The play was staged in the customary Irving style, all of the settings beside handsome and effective, while the supernumeraries were managed with rare skill. The scene at the opening of the second act, showing the crowd of merry-making peasants, was one to be remembered, so good was the acting of eve.y character on the stage, no matter how insignificant the nan. It is the careful attention given to details such as this that make an Irving performance so memorable aside from the magnificent work of the star himself. Sir Henry will present "The Merchant of Venice" this afternoon at a special matinee and, as his Shylock is considered a companion mast, t pi. ce to his 1-uis XI, great interest is being manifested in this revival of the favorite Shhkspearean comedy. This will be the famous English actor's last appearance in Indianapolis for many years. In fact, he may never be seen here again. The Vaudeville at the BSSUSdU Acrobatic acts come and go, but tho N 1son family continues to present, season after season, the most startling exhibition of acrobatics to be seen anywhere, be it on a vaudeville stage or in the sawdust arena of the circus tent. There are always ten of the Nelsons, ranging from Or uuldaddy Nelson, who is sixty years "young." as Elbert Hubbard would say, down to little Tot Nelson, who is six years old. It is always the same Granddaddy Nelson and the other grown-up Nelsons seem to bo the same aiiile acrobats that you hav seen M years agone, but where do all the Little Tot Nelsons come from? This famous family has ben appearing annually in Indianapolis during the last ten years and there has always been Little Tot Nelson bringing" up the rear when the members of the troupe stand up to have their pictures taken. It can't be the same Little Tot, of course, for little tots get older and bigg. 1 as the years roll by. Hut still there is always the tiny slip of a thing that is brought on the stage in a wpet ba; and thai waves its arms frantically and nods Its head violently and allows itself uncomplainingly to be tumbled and tefJsSlBd and bufft-tetl and whisk.d and whirled, just as if it were a shuttlecock at the mercy of numerous battledores, Instead of a small bundle of flesh and biood The N Isons are back in town again this week. They foin the "headline feature" of the Grand's new vaudeville hill and Granddaddy Nelson, of sixty, und Little Tt Nelson, still six years old. ami the eight other Nelsons, of various ages and sixes, o&ce more win deafening applause with their wonderful achievements as .-ten hats. Their act Is better than ever before, if auch a thing is possible. The specialty deserving of the second place of honor on the programme is that cis.n by Matthews and Harris the farcical sket h. "Adam the Second." it has been seen at the Gland In-fore, but i on of the- few vaudeville farces worth witnessing a second time. Th. i.j. t of tho pi 1 1 clever und the dialogue Ii belter thuii tho

average in sketches of this sort. Both Mr. Matthews and Miss Harris play their parts well and the skit proves very amusing. Another acceptable sketch, of an entirely different nature, is presented by O. T. Fiske and Miss McDonough. It is a little picture of rough East Side social life in New York. and. although its telling points are emphasized in a way that would not be necessary If the piece were acted as a legitimate dramatic offering, it is quite effective. The two players were obliged to give their performance without their regular costumes and "properties" yesterday, as their wardrobe trunk failed to arrive from 'hioago. Miss Mcdonough's song suffered Ik cause of the fact that there were no instrumental parts for the orchestra, the musicians being compelled to "fake" an accompaniment. The Three Poiriers, star gymnasts, who op?n the programme, give an exhibition of skiil and strength that is strikingly fine. Adolph Poirier. the strongest of the performers, accomplishes several feats that have never before been attempted by other gymnasts. The Passports, two high-class fancy dancers from France, are seen in a pleasing terpsichorean specialty, in which toe and instep dancing form a leading feature. They also give an imitation of the cake-walk as it is now performed in Paris, and it. s interesting to note how this typical American dance is done among the gay Parisians. Billy Link, the black-face monologulst, who used to call Indianapolis his home, contributes a ten minutes' talk that causes much laughter. Most of the jokes are new, but his imitation of the manner in which women walk on a rainy day has been done so often at the Grand this season that it is growing tiresome, and Link would do well to omit this feature, which wasn't at all funny in the first place. Fields and Hanson, the comedy musicians, can do almost anything, it seems, except play on musical instruments. Their musical selections are saddening in the extreme, and much of their comedy is too boisterious to be funny. John T. Tiorney, the Irish monologuist, failed to score a success at the opening performance of the week vesterday afternoon. His style of humor did not appear to the audience, and when it became obvious to him that he was boring the crowd he very sensibly cut his specialty short and retired. The bioscope pictures, which wind up the entertainment, are interesting, particularly the splendid views of the recent great fire in Paltimore. Melodrama at the Park. In years to come, when a new generation of American playwrights has sprung up and when things threatrical are generally altered, one Theodore Kremer will still be found at the same old stand in New York, grinding out, at the rate of one a month, melodramas such as "No Wedding Bells for Her." "The King of Detectives," "A Desperate Chance," "The Fatal Wedding" and "Wedded and Parted." "Wedded and 'Parted" that is what Theodore calls his neV one. Of course. It Isn't his newest one, for this one is six months old by this time, and Theodore has turned out six more since this one was incubated but at least it's the newest one to be seen out this way. It opened a half week's engagement at the Park yesterday and two big audiences assembled to lend encouragement to the interpreting company and to help swell the we. kly royalties that ?re sent back to Theodore's melodrama factory in New York. "Wedded and Parted" Is pretty much like all other Kremer p'ays full of startling climaxes, never lagging In action, and holding a peculiar interest for the theatergoers who patronize the popular-priced 1 OUSea. Although it is illogical and overdrawn, with characters such as one seldom, if ever, runs across in real life, it pleases the average auditor at the Park, and from the standard of theatrical attractions of its special class, it must be considered a great success. The story has to do with a loyal wife who is made the victim of designing villians, chief of whom is a bad woman with a rather musical voice, a wicket! eye. and a penchant for saying "damn" when things go wrong with her. Thin feminine evil-doer is instrumental in causing no end of trouble for the heroine and her lover, and, with the aid of other plotters, makes life miserable for the people of the play until things take a turn for the better. Of course, all comes out right in the end. but not until the audience has had its breath taken away several times by exciting incidents and thrilling stage pictures. The company is in every way an efficient one. Virginia Thornton makes a handsome and sympathetic heroine and "has the audience with her" from the moment she comei on the stage and steps under the Christmas misletoo (the Btory is supposed to open on Christmas eve) until she wins out in the end against the villains. May E. Cunard does excellent work in the part of a spiteful young woman, and the other leading feminineroles are well played by Miss Anna Barclay, Maude McCarthy and Lizzie Mulvey. the latter a recruit from the vaudeville stage who was once well known as a sin, . and dancer. Frank Gheen appears as the hero of the play and is seen to much advantage in this style of part, while the other characters of importance are capably enacted by George B. Miller, Alexander Leonard, James E. Freeze, Charles F. McCarthy and C. L. McDonald. Two little juvenile play. rs. Lottie and Anna Johnson, have considerable to do with the action of the piece. They act their roles with much intelligence and become warm favorites with the audience before the final curtain falls. The scenic equipment is unusually attractive, the three scenes of the third act being especially good. Wedded and Parted" will continue at the Park through to-day and to-morrow and Is üure to attract large crowds, as it is the sort of play that is always liked by the Park's regular patrons. RnrlfNqne at the Empire. Louis Robie, owner of Robie's Knickerbocker Burlesquers, which opened a week's engagement at the Empire Theater yesterday afternoon, is one of the original burlesque managers of the country and one who believes in giving the theater-going public "a run for its money." His company this season is the largest that has appeared at the Empire and it is very well balanced. The show opens with a satirical comedy entitled "Riley's Speech" that gives the company a good opportunity to display its merit. John H. Reid is the leading comedian and he is ably assisted by Miss ! Aileene Vincent, the most clever Soubrette that has appeared at the Empire this season, Clyde Darrow, as Miss Con, an adventuress, pretty and interesting, and the remainder of the compuny. Following the "first part" the specialties are given and Manager Robie offers the best class of performers on the burlesque stage. The olio opens with the Knickerbocker Four, a male quartet, and all of the men are good singers. They add much to their act by refraining from introducing any f comedy. The Juggling Normans give an irft with Indian clubs that is very entertaining and also free from any attempts to amuse the crowd with sliafed buffoonery. Frank Finney, the comedian, is one of the funniest fellows who ever appeared in a monologue sketch. Reid and Gilbert give nn attractive sketch. The Amatos. French dancers, entertain the audience. The olio concludes with Hawthorne and Burt, very clever dancers. The burlesque is entitled "The Isle of Dinky Doo." In this portion of the show the comedians. Miss Vincent. Miss Darrow und the chorus of pretty and shapely girls are given their best opportunity to entertain the spectators. Many pretty songs are interpolated and the comedy is of a Hilarious sort. Miss Vincent and Miss Darrow st ored decided hits at yesterday's performances. Weber A I ields's EngaSjeHslt, Four Pullman sleepers, a diner ami three baggage cars will compose the special train which will bring the Weber & Fields company to Indianapolis Thursday morning for the Park engagement. The train carries about l"ei people as well us the entire equipment of "Whoop-de-Doo" and the burlesque on "Catherine," which the company . .! in the ptoduetions in New York and San Francisco. The company used a special train in its jump from New York to San Francisco and it was perhaps the most . spetisive transcontinental trip ever taken by a theatrical organization.

Language, it now and then appears, is given to man not only to reveal his thoughts and to conceal them, but also to express them deftly, safely and graciously disguised. "Every once in awhile" said an industrious church woman in a little lentcn chat with several other church women, "T recall an interesting experience I once had with a strange clergyman a rector in another city, and a remarkably talented man, as my story will prove. "One day. while visiting in this other city, I was so impressed with the profound spirituality of the ma in his lenten talks to his parish that I made him a call to ask help and counsel from him concerning affairs in my own parish, in a remote town. All this happened a number o. years ago. and looking back honestly on that period of my life I can discern that my church affairs did not move to suit me mainly because I could not have my own way in the various guilds of the church. Also, I now deduce, I desired very strenuously to manate the clergyman of our parish, likewise the choir and perhaps, incidentally, the I vestry. "At any rate, when I revealed my general dissatisfaction to this gentle and holy man the strange rector of a strange parishhe received my church confidences in the most sympathetic and consoling manner. He offered no advice, but besought me to leave all such petty parish troubles with the ever-ruling hand; to remember that I was not altogether responsible for the parish; that my individual spiritual growth should be my chief burden and concern. We parted in the most eordial fashion, and I thanked the dear man tearfully for his wise and tender monitions. "And don't you believe,"' concluded the devoted church woman, with a spirited flash of the eyes and a somewhat reluctant smile, "it was nearly a year before it soaked into my comprehension that the dear old artful dodger of a clergyman in that other parish hadn't done a thing to me but simply to tell me that the best thing I could do, for myself and for our disturbed parish, would be to mind my own business? That was it. Yes, sir, he merely told me in the loveliest and most circuitous terms of perfect courtesy not to try to run the whole parish, but to mind my own business." Everybody laughed and somebody asked, "Are you doing it, Marietta?" "I don't know." said Marietta, "but it strikes me numb when I think that I was one whole year finding out what that man had said to me." Menu for a Day.

One recently heard of, the simple practicability of which is strong in its appeal, is evening companion for young girls. The idea is that many parents, wishing to go out at night, almost hesitate to do so because of leaving one or more of their young daughters at home with no protection and no better companlouship than the servants. Many families whose immediate circle is limited may enter into this feeling with appreciative understanding. Mauy a mother sacrifices the pleasures of an evening to remain home supervising the studies and affording her children the proper companionship. This difficulty might be obviated by securing the services of some rotined. cultivated young woman to act in the capacity of evening companion, her duties to be the assisting of children or young SMART HEADGEAR ARE INSPECTED

Season's Latest Modes Are Innovations, in Many Respects, from the Styles of a Summer Ago

The spring opening brought out a large number of feminine visitors who were anxious to know what Fate, as represented by Iame Fashion, had in store for them during the coming seasons at the New York store yesterday. In the millinery department the hats are of unusual beauty this year. A number of j French models are shown, but the I'nlted 1 States headgear equals them in smartness and beauty. Row upon row of narrow Valenciennes edging if used for the construction of the Bebe hats. One of the daintiest has for a foundation pale blue chiffon. The crown is made of solid rows ot lace, and the brim is formed of overlapping ruffles of the soft chiffon, edged with the lace, falling softly about the brim of the hat.

A Mlnflt Party. What to Eat. The lent, n season is bringing something besides its crop of cooking classes, and that is the round of carnival parties. A very amusing one was given by Francis Walker, the baritone, at his beautiful studio on Sixty-seventh street. It was called a misfit party, and the fun consisted in having everyone wear Incongruous garments of some fashion. One lady appeared with a dress coat over a whits muslin evening bodice, another wore a very elaborate decollette waist with a golf skirt and rubbers; a third wore a nurse ' cap, apron and cuffs, with a jetted evening gown. The men as a rule wore sweaters and swallow-tailed coats while one genius had knickerbockers, golf stockings and a frock coat, a combination that could not be beaten. The Idea was excellently carried out. even the programme being on the same principle. A duet was sung by a very tsll soprano and a very short basso, a sentimental poem was recited to comic music, and for the encors a comic ,ocm was given to sentimental music, the only thing that was not a misfit wis a supper; while the punch was served in ire pitrh rs. the salads In Jardinieres, and the sandwiches were turned Inside out. everything was of such excellent quality that after it was eaten the supper was voted a failure as a misfit. Value of Equal Suffragje. New York time. A Colorado woman at the recent suffrage convent ion in Washington was asked If woman suffrage had cured corruption In politics in her State, in reply sh' t-1! the following story: A man was brought to a hospital far gone in delirium tremens. After a doctor had examined him carefully some one asked: "Can you cure him?" "No." said the doctor, "but I can reduce the size of the snakes." AND SUITS BY MA NT IVO MEN one development of the three-cornered hat craze which prevailed last fall in the East. BLACK GOWNS SHOW N. In the suit department ther are sosjs unusually striking gowns in black, among the priettiest an Kton suit of black broadcloth with a white broadcloth vest picked out with gold and a touch of pale blue. Tha re vers of the coat are of white satin cov1 with lace and chenille, and the folded girdle is of bright -colored silk. The skirt is close- fitting about the hips, flaring about the feet and the shirred back is one of the new ff :.s of the spring. A second black broadcloth suit is in bolera effect with two vests, one of reseda gr-en. the inner one of whit, a girdle of black panne and a flounced skirt. Another nanhme black frock Is Of fine black voile, the only denotation narrow bands of black taffeta and a multitude of tiny crochet buttons. Tha drooping shoulder and full-skirted effects of the middle nineteenth century ere followed. The jackets of the coming season arc all in short effects boUro. blouse or Eton and the three-quarter-length cost is ssld to be beyond the pale. The habit back snf other varieties of the close-fitting skirt for which extinction has also been prophesied. ar however, harder to dispose of, and the tight models are still shown even In finer frocks and suits. In walking suits the tendency is to warn" ion elaborate effects and one suit of gunm t il cloth with a fancy figure has a bolero d'-coration for the coat and Is SAOfSj elaborate in its sleeve than the pedestrian suit is wont. Another walking suit is of very light cloth and the Eton jacket and! skirt an decorated with plaits. In the walkinK suits the habit back either real or simulated Is the rule, rather than the exception. In tmrellnj ats sosne pretty silk and mohair sarment. are shown, and of thess th prettiest are those in the fashionabls gun-metal tint. The mohair fabrics are to - tl red for such ooata this season and teside being durable they are !;:ikI,v handsome In carriage coats some very handsome models nre shown. One of black p. au de cygne has eery d-optng shoulders attained by banda of shirring, and the v ry full sleeves and the front are ornamented with black and whits . ry new idea in raincoats is the Jtursian coat of fancy n.ven tt- The button.-, which h.- the I: i-- iri : and Um row of cartridge holders across ths front are responsable for the name and for the rest tlM coat s merely a smart raincoat with a v. ry n t h in ths ;. band ot shirring in g:rdl effevt across the waist at the neck. Th.- op nn will - or.tlnue through tomorrow. Not all the new models are yet shov ii either in suits or in hats, but tha displays in both departments are most interesting, and in addition ail the other de partmentK of the store sre in spring arras with their fresh stocks of spring muuuais aud spring novelties.
