To-IJay' Schedule. GRAND. High-class vaudeville, 2:13 and S:15 p. m. PAKK.-"HeIio. Dill!" 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. UN I Q UK. Variety, 3 and 8 p. m. Lnt .MKlit'M Produrtlon of "Krni I n le." Seventeen years ago "Erminie" was given its first presentation at the New York Casino and scored a' hit that made all Gotham sit up and take notice. A newcomedian, with a pair of funny legs and a smile like that of the Cheshire cat in "Alice's Adventures," danced nimbly through the part of the comical rascal Caddy and tickled New Yorkcrä to such an extent that they labeled Francis Wilson a buffoon of uncommon rbility. A clever little woman, with a jolly round face, a pair of bright eyes and a kissable mouth made a leap into popularity on the very same night on account of her rollicking performance as the gay Javotte. That was Mario Jansen. Seventeen years have rolled by and here Is "Erminie" again and Just as bright and bubbling and entertainins us ever it was In the days of long ago. Francis Wilson, still the droll clown and still nimble of leg. again comes forth in his famous old character und plays it Just as he played it during the first great run of the opera on Broadway. Marie Jansen no longer plays the right bower to Wilson's Joker, but, surrounded as the comedian Is with a company of splendid singers, his revival of Erminie," a3 witnessed last night at English's by a large and delighted audience, was one of the most attractive musical performances of the season. "Erminie" is a real comic opera and quite a little classic in Its way. It has stood the test of years as few other compositions of its class have done. When it was supposed to have been worn threadbare Mr. Wilson appeared in other operas with varying success, but from time to time he has returned to the merry little . piece by Jacobowsky and Paulton and has always given more pleasure in this opera than In any other. Good fun never dies and 'Erminie" is good fun set to sparkling music. You may not care particularly for Wilson's style of comedy when you see him In other comic opera productions, but It seems to be especially suited to the role of the grotesque Cadeaux and he gives a portrayal of character that Is really artistic in a broad fashion. He has never had a part so admirably fitted to him as this one. Wilson is the amusing Fiddy to the life just as Joo Jefferson is iTp Van Winkle. And the production what a satisfactory one it is in every detail! Messrs. Nixon Ac Zimmerman are deserving of thanks for reviving good, old "Erminie" in such a sumptuous manner, if the production served no other purpose than to be used as J a moaei ior tnose wruer3 or so-canea musical comedies "The Runaways." for instance who have been feeding the theatergoing, public on rubbish. The piece is mounted in excellent taste and given a dellgntfully smooth presentation. The chorus last night was good to listen to, all of the ensemble numbers being sung In a way that showed careful training. Costumes, scenery and appointments -were new and gorgeous, and the pink ballroom scene was more beautiful than in previous productions of the opera, illuminated as it was with hundreds of electric lights that proved fairly dazzling. Mr. Wilson is a droll, quizzical creature In the character of the blundering jailbird. He does not disdain broad expedients for provoking mirth, but he has such a mastery of his antics that they appear more legitimate than they really are. His singing voice is Just as tuneless as ever, but he is wonderfully light on his feet and was excellent last night in the various dances, his best work being done In the interpolated comic song, "Joseph, James and John," which he sung with Clara Belle Jerome. Little Miss Jerome is not the vivacious Soubrette that Marie Jansen used to be, but she is one of the daintiest little women on the American stage, and she gave a charming rendering of Javotte. She is refined in. everything she. does ever, when she Indulges In a high kick and impresses one as a sweet, unaffected little entertainer, not gifted with an especially good voice, but graceful in every movement. She quite shared the honors with Mr. Wilson In their numbers together. A perfect 'performance of the role of Ravennes was given by William Broderick, who is not only one of the best of comic opera bassos, but also one of the best actors in his line of work. He looked like a character that had Just stepped forth from a Cruikshank edition of Dickens's "Nicholas Nicklcby," and his acting was really superb. Although Mr. Hroderick has never headed an opera company, he was one of the brightest stars of the many in the cast. Jessie Bartlett Davis, as the dashing Captain Delauney, appeared in the sort of part she likes best and was every Inch a soldier a comic opera soldier. She seems to be slighter in figure than when she last appeared in Indianapolis, and her handsomo costumes were immensely becoming. She was not In the best of voice, as she was suffering from a slight cold, but her two interpolated numbers in the second act were warmly applauded. Marguerlta ßylva, with her gloriousmidnight eyes and her illuminating smile, made a pretty picture in the role of Erminie and pang her share of the score in good voice, but fell Into her old error of running her words together to such an extent that, both in the dialogue and musical numbers, her lines could scarcely be understood. Only in her principal number the ever-delightful lullaby was she careful as to her enunciation, and this song she gave In a very ; pleasing way. Signor Perugini played the character of the chevalier as the part is intended to be played that is, he made a hopeless old bore out of that powdered and perfumed gcyitleman. Robert Brodrick was effective as the marquis and William C. Wedoa acted stiffly but sang splendidly in the part of the secretary. Mr. Wedon's interpolated number. "Star of My Life," was one of the hits of the performance, the ballad showing his good tenor to much advantage. Jennie Weathersby, the only other member of the original "Erminlne" cast besides Mr. Wilson, gave a good characterization of the giggling Princess de Gramponeur, and all of the minor parts were well taken. . In response to long and loud applaudits at the end of the second act. Mr. Wilson made a humorous speech, In which he gently assured the audience, with a patronizing wave of his hand, that everything of an immoral nature had been eliminated from "the play," and that "as the performance now stood It was an entertainment to be witnessed by all classes of people from the very highest down to the ash man;" The engagement of this excellent company was for one night only. Moalcnl Farce at the Park. "Hello. Bill!" geared to high speed for upon its speed depends Its worth Is closing the week at the Park. It is a "puzzle play" of the farce-comedy class. It puzzles the audience to understand how its author, Willis Maxwell Goodhue, ever got it together, but it is still more puzzling in its action, and it requires apt attention to follow all of Its intricacies. It undertakes to tell the story of William Fuller, who was caught in a gambling raid at a seaside resort and was torn from his bride by the sheriff to serve six months in Jail. To quiet the mind of his wife Fuller tells her that he has enlisted in the Spanish war. Instead of going to jail he escapes with a fine, but is obliged to keep in hiding from his wife for sixty days. He comes home In the role of General Fuller, and finds that he has assumed the name and title of a real General Fuller, who also appears. The play is one in which each member of the company has a comedy part, and each one adds something to the complications until the Incidents are in such a heap that one cannot see how the bottom to the pile will ever be reached again, but when the air begins to clear every tangle is easily unraveled. Harry Blakemore has the burden of tho plot to carry. In fact, the play contains no Incident of importance in which he does not figure. He injects a personal good humor into the character of the deceiving husband, and his audience last night was in almost constant laughter. There Is nothing soldierly about him except his uniform, but his fun is on the rapid-tire order. Gforge Maeombcr looks after the character of the real General Fuller with military dignity. Charles H. Douglass is capable In the part of the man "who fixes things." A little love story weaves its way through the plot, it blng in the hands of Eugene Shakespeare and Gertrude Raymore. Carrie Lamont gives prominence to the part of one who thinks she is the ony Mrs. Fuller, but find there is another. Carolyn Mac-I-an helps along the comedy whtle Hhe j!;ys the serlou role of a widow.

' 7.. i S sp -: jr " : ;: . kO 1 ' FliKDHRICK HALLEN. The Popular Farceur, Now Playing at the Grand. and Robert Watt, in less important characters, sustain the interest In a play that is worthier of a better title, although its plot is directed to no other end than that of making fun. This will be the Park's attraction for the rest of the week. The Mansfield Engagement. There was a great demand for seats yesterday at the opening of the Mansfield sale, and the engagement of the distinguished actor at English's Saturday afternoon and evening will undoubtedly be a very successful one. The production of the beautiful German comedy, "Old Heidelberg," at the matinee, will be the same, magnificent performance that charmed New York at the opening of the present theatrical season and the presentation of Count Tolstoi's tragic drama, "Ivan the Terrible," Saturday night, will give local playgoers an opportunity to see Mansfield in his most recent and, according to many critics, his greatest characterization. -The scenery in "Old Heidelberg" is all painted from celebrated originals. The room in Prince Karl's castle is from a Geiman schloss on the Rhine near Cologne. The garden, frequented by the studc::ts, with their dogs and songs, shown la the second act, is from a familiar corner of the gay old university town, with ' a beautiful view of the Neckar winding away, and crowning the opposite bank is the Heidelberg castle, well remembered by all tourists and students. The curious and interesting scene showing Karl Heinrich'a apartments is from a celebrated old room occupied formerly by the princes of tho royal house of llohenzollern. The prince's cabinet is painted from a splendid old chamber In a schloss In Saxe-Welmar, which Mansfield ha3 often visited. In "Ivan the Terrible" the scenery Is also made an important feature, and the settings are said to be massive and unusually Impressive. However, It is the acting of this masterpiece that claims first attention, and everything else is subordinate to M&nsfield's great portrayal of the old Russian Czar. The company supporting the famous actor is considered the best he has had for several years. TleH rlwl IVoiea. The sale of seats for the engagement of Anrfle Russell at English's will open this morning at the box office of that theater. Miss Russell will play her Indianapolis engagement next Monday evening, appearing here in "Mice and Men," the eleVer comedy by Madeline Lucette Ryley, which has made such a favorable impression wherever It has been presented. The playIs said to be a beautiful little love story, and the character of Peggy, the foundling, combining the most rollicking comedy with moments of sympathy, suits dainty Annie Russell perfectly. Howell Hansel, who was a great Indianapolis favorite when he was the leading man of the old Grand stock company, is now playing the title role in a dramatization of "Parsifal" in Boston. Dramatic versions of the Wagnerian opera are being put on the stage by stock companies in many of the large cities. Various versions of "Parsifal" are now running in New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. The Chicago critics refused to take the production in that city seriously, but a large audience of ministers, invited to a special performance, gave the play a strong Indorsement. Charles Hawtrey, the English actor, has been compelled to give up acting for two weeks and may be unable to play the St. Iuls summer engagement that was being arranged for him. It was stated last week that he had strained a tendon of his ankle in a fall on the stage of the New Lyceum Theater in New York, but it now develops that his ankle Is broken. His understudy Is at present playing his part in the new comedy, "Saucy Sally." It has at last been definitely settled that Peter F. Dalley, now of the Weber & Fields Company, will star next season under the management of Klaw & Erlanger in the musical comedy. "The Billionaire" the piece in which the late Jerome Sykes appeared. The arrangement Is that until the new season opens the popular comedian will be one of the chief funmakers in the new burlesque that is to be given at the Aerial Theater on the roof of the New Amsterdam Theater in New York, Fay Templeton being the principal feminine entertainer. Clayton White, who has been seen In this city several times during the last two seasons, appearing at the Grand in a vaudeville farce with Marie Stuart, has been selected by Manager Henry W. Savage to play the title role in the latest George Ade comic opera, "The Sho-Gun." now running in Chicago. Gus Bruno, a former vaudeville star, has been playing the role, but the Chicago critics have found fault with his broad methods of funmaklng. Mr. White Is a very clever comedian and should make a hit in his new line of work. Unlike Bruno, he is a quiet comedian, none of his fun being forced. HEIEII BERTRAM TO SING LEWIS JONES'S SUCCESSES For the First Time To-Day She Will Sing Indianapolis Composer's Hits. NEW ONE FOR NEXT YEAR Heleu Bertrarrt, the charming prima donna soprano now at the Grand, will sing this afternoon for the first time two songs by an Indianapolis composer a love ballad, "Dear Heart, I Can't Forget You" and the ucinty negro ditty, "The Witch Behind tho Moon," both written by Louis W. Jones, whose musical compositions are published under the name of Louis Wcslyn. Miss Bertram has had these songs iu rehearsal since Tuesday, and will make them leading numbers In her repertoire from now on until the end of her season. Her present tour takes her to the Tacific coast, and does net come to an end until August. She is delighted with vaudeville, and has decided to continue this line of stage work next season. Martin Beck, the vaudeville booking agent, has already made arrangements to book her as a vaudeville star in all of the leading vaudeville theaters during the next theatrical year. Mis Bertram's principal song next season will te a new love ballad by Mr. Jones, which is now in manuscript and which wljl be turned over to the publishers next month. M. Witmark & Sons, of New York, publish all of Mr. Jones's compositions, and they will soon Issue "Helen Bertram editions" of "Dear Hrart. I Can't Forget You" and "The Witch Behind the Moon." with portraits of the fair sluger on tho title pages. Cri'.r'- rnr.fl!s are certainly good.

The fishnet, which has been so popular for simple draperies for several years, is taking on more elaborate patterns, and the seeker after the net will be shown a variety of fancy meshes and patterns that still bear the title of fishnet. Even the plainer ones are a little more elaborate than the earlier kinds, and the square mesh and the very heavy oval mesh are offener seen than the simpler round mesh. All the nets are comparatively cheap, the lowest-priced one, which is still very effective, selling for 15 cents a yard, the fancier varieties for 65 and 70 cents. The combination of dark blue and green remains particularly good in gowns and millinery and promises to brcome as much a stand-by. as the old familiar but never tiresome combination of black and white. The peacock's eye, which is about the most popular thing in late jewelry of all descriptions and prices, shows the blending of the two colors, and the same effect is frequently noted in the smart street hats of tho spring. The fancy extended to ones of the breteeles of beading run set material. for trimmed underwear has the corsets, and the smarter new corsets have ruffles and muslin and lace, and rows of with ribbon to match the corwhich is frequently patterned in dainty Mower designs HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.

SEASON'S GOWNS AND WRAPS SHOW PICTURESQUE EFFECTS Severe Tailored Styles Give Way to Frills and Flounces and Feminine Fussiness

Correspondence of the In-iianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, April 20. That 1S30 Influences make the paramount ones of the season Is self-evident. Whichever way wo turn evidences of the fact are to be met, and week by week fresh arrivals arc to bo seen. Skirts grow fuller and more full. Not content with gathers, shirrs and plaits designers are using flounces, frills and ruches galore, and often one over the other. Shoulders are broad to tho extreme and deep belts and girdles give the short waist line. Latterly, also, all sorts of little capes and fichu-like wraps have been shown that are still further reminiscent. and replicas of which can be found In any gallery of old portraits. Rumor has it that the next- change is to be to the directoire, and already Parisian designers are sending1 out what might bo called hints thereof. But whether or not that be the next period from which inspiration is to come, we are now imitating our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, and have need to study their grace as well as their piwns if wc hope to achieve success. For tho past decade at least the tendency has been to tailored effects, to severity and to the freedom of action that goes therewith. It is something of a plunge from that state into the present bcfrilled one and by no means every woman has been able to take it gracefully or well. Such gowns as those of to-day mean, or should mean, essentially feminine grace and soft, languorous movement. When we meet a girl, such as I saw at the theater this week, gowned in dainty flowing chiffon and lace and see her stride like a boy, the picture becomes grotesque and one is led to marvel a bit. The woman of fashion has need to understand many things. If her golf and her tennis have rendered her too impatient of restraint she should be wise and eschew the frills 'and the flowing skirts, for these last are lovely only when worn with grace, charming only when they seem part of a dellciously feminine whole. The girl who cannot learn to accommodate her step to her long skirts and to elr;e her silken scarf about her shoulders with grace would be wisp to refuse both, let prevailing modes be what they may, for nothing could be more absurd than the mannish manner in thoo dear, full, old-time gowns that bespeak femininity in every line and fold. OTHER OLD-TIME EFFECTS. Not alone have models been revived; we also are seeing old-time colors and old-time effects, so that entire harmony prevails. Cue of the latent colors is antique green, and many of the newest veilings and silks are shown in shaded effects, and so suit the full skirts admirably well. As lovely a reception gown as any I have seen is of voile In shadtd brown that runs the entire gamut from the deepest shade to a bit of yellow, and is made with one of the fashionable full skirts that is laid in plaits at the belt, the lightest shade bcinj? found at that point. The antique greens are a delight, and suit the soft taffetas and louisines admirably well. A most bewitching costume, seen at a weddincr of the week. Is of the taffeta, and is made with a full skirt on which are set two flounces, shirred in several rows each and turned under to form headings. The blouse Is one of the appropriate ones, with a deep yoke of represe lace edged with a fichu that is finished with frills and embroidery, and big full sleeves shirred at the shoulders and again above the elbows, then gathered into cuffs finished with falls of lace. The lines were all good, the effect was charming, and color and design suited one another perfectly well. The sleeves were, indeed, a triumph, and gave all the sense of bigness demanded by la mode, while avoiding all additional size at the waist line. With the costume was worn one of the lovely loose coats of lace that bid fair to be a craze the summer through. It was quite collarless and Mmple in shape, with wide bell sleeves, and was made entirely of white chantilly over -cream taffeta. Paris is talking shawls and shawl-like wraps, but, while a few have been Imported, I ece no evidence of favor as yet. It may be true, as stated by some advanced eiesigners, that both they and overskirts are coming, but faith In common sense is not quite elead. in spite of many things, and I cannot quite conceive the modern woman wearing a shawl unless it be in her carriage, where no effort Is to be made. You will remember how a year ago prediction was made of crinoline. I said then, and I say- now. that it cannot 1 generally revived, and I do not think these other things will come in any great numbers. We have adopted the full and flowing style, to be sure, but la our costumes of formal dress only. The nits designed for shopping, walking nnd the affairs of life are made with short skirts, snug about the hips, if laid in Il.it rlaits below, and short coats. We no more could wear those, others In our crowded shops. In our evercrowded cars and as we climb the elevated step, than could the Japanese ladies, who have made their homes with us. cling to their kimor.as, as they share our busy lives. A PRETTY FASHION. One of the prettiest fashions of the season is the little capelike fichus, which are made to match the xowns and draped atMjut the shoulders. They are quite simple In shaie and style, and are finished with frills of the material er lace, then are passed round the shoulders and knotted nt the. front, their long ends hanging well to the edge of the skirt. They are charming In the soft silks and pongees, of which there itre so m.rny, but, some way, appeal to me socially In the thin gowns eif lawn, batiste and the like. A most fascinating mull 1.:. fr x:niDle,

Members Merchants Association. made very full and much frilled as to skirt, with a lull blouse telow a. scalloped yoke, and is worn with one of these, dainty creations, that is edged with frills, laco edged, which, when worn. Just outlines the yoke and gives that cugstion of a wrap which we all like so well. Wc aro to have many flowered gowns, by tlc way, when summer finally shall have Arrived, and very beautiful aro both tho ne-ts and organdies. The former arc a bit the newer and are really lovely, but organdy always has its place. A most attractive gown, that makes part of an April trousseau, ij of the net, and is made with a full skirt on which are set two flounces, rather scantily gathered, the lower oue edged, tha upper one both edged and headed with a group of thre5 narrow bias frills. Tho waist is full, in baby tyle, with deep round yoke of tucking inset with motifs of lace, and outlining it is a double frill ot the net, while the sleeves are in bell shape cut to the elbow's, and finished with narrow frills. At the. waist is worn a sash of radium ribbon, this being tha newest and latest, and showing a marvelously brilliant surface combined with soft finish. Fancy little boleros, too. are much liked, and are made of. lace or of thin material like the skirt, embroidered and worn over waists of fine muslin or laco to give a most charming effect. As I have stated a great many times this spring, embroidery wrought on to the material of tho gown is tne smartest of all smart things. One of the handsomest of these bolero costumes I have seen, is of silk warp veiling, in the shade known as mastic, and combines a skirt made full, with fan plaits at every team, with a fascinating little jacket that is elaborately embroidered and worn over a. blouse of lace. The bolero is collarless and includes loose sleeves, that terminate above tho elbows, while those of the blouse form very full puffs above deep, close-fitting cuffs. At the waist Is the dfep. drape! is almost ubiquibolt of soft satin that tous. The little jackets can be relied upon as being great favorites the summer through, and will be seen in linen, as well as in silk; and wool. One exceedingly handsome white linen suit, that I havo already seen, is made with a skirt that combines a narrow front panel with plaited sides and back and a charming little bolero, both it and the plain panel of the skirt being made elaborate with open work, or what the French esall a Jour, embroidery. Heneath the Jacket are to be worn shirtwaists of fine muslin. The embroidery is most effective, and quite the most farhionabla of all trimmings, yet it is not difficult, and any woman at all' deft and clever should be able to do it herself. Short skirts, let me add. whether of linen, silk or wool, are all plaited in some way, tha plaits stitched flat over the hips, but nllowed to fall loose from a much higher point than was the case last year. Thosi of a season ago, however, can be altered and made quite up to date by simply ripping the stitching a bit further up anj letting the plaits fly, only pressing qulta flat. THE CAPE AND SKIRT. I thlnlt I told you sonic weeks ago that the cape and skirt was the latest development of the walking suit. Since then I have seen a number, and very pretty and attractive, as well as comfortable, they are. There are to bo many short-skirt eul suits of taffeta, pongee and the lightweight veilings, as well as of foulard, and the capes suit them admirably well, but It should not be forgotten that tho waists must match In color, as contrasting fleevej would not give anything like a satisfactory effect. An cxce-edlngly tmart example Is made of nut-brown taffeta, ani shows one of the fancy skirts, that urn so wcil-liked for these handsome walking suits, as well as the cape. At front, tide and back are plain narrow panels and between them an gores covered with three, gathered flounces each, the upicrmoit onea being shirred in several rows. The cap is simply round, falling to the elbows, but 13 trimmed with folds to give a Irl phi effect, and the blouse is of brown chiffon made full and soft. That the cape ide. will grow and develop, seems probable and, indeed, almost certain. One very elegant reception gown, of erep. d chine, with lace, shows a cape of the lace cut ih deep scallops, bei-w whkh is a wldi plisse frill of chiffon. It is in th walking suits that they are mest sen now, however, and very practical and comfortaM-j they are for summer wear. As I have already told you, waists must t of matching color to l coriect. but there N a tendency to use lace for the blouse, witu sleeves that match the cape and skirt that cannot be overlooked, little as I like it. Just what our next era will be. no one cart tell. There are the rumors and the hints of the Dircctolre. which 1 mentioned above, and there are certain Luis XVI models to le seen; but it Is quite certain th.it the fullness of the sleeves is cree ping up, whether we reach the snugncss of tha Directoirc, or do not. and there are sign that indicate the coming of the jin:ej bodice, whatever else m.iy fall. What interests uh most at the moment, however, is what is. tiOt what will or may be, and. as my limit is tery nearly reached, I must tell you of one or two love ly coat a for carriage and piazza, wear, then an revoir. In style they are all loose, much like those f evening wear the winter through, but some novel materials are being introduced. One eautlful model is of brown etamine, embroidered in the raised French style, with dull reds, blues and greens, and is finished with collar and revers of antique green. Another iJ of taffeta, of the same shade of green, and Is trimmed with flat ruche of th silk encinlhig ml.d:ins of tnit.roidrry. and is finished with soft frills 'of lace at neck, front and sleeves. As we all know, lth the seashore and the mountains mean cool e-venings. and the wrap makes an important feature of the outfit. The, practical charm of such as these lies In their amnle looseners and i-omfort, and the hints that they convev. Etamine i e.uilv within the reach of all, and. If embroidery be o crela bora t e. can le ma do offoctlve with appliques of Oriental h.tnd Si!' and pongee give Just th debited weight and can bo made as simple or as cl.ihoratt as on may choose.
