BIG OVATION GIVEN HERBERT And ‘The Girl in the Spos#gkf at English's ’

The nlmbls, lon* legs of H*l Skelly, the sweet Twice and unaffected pretence of little Mary Mllburn and the melodious score of Victor Herbert aid In making “The Girl In the Spotlight," a ripsnortin' of a good show. Victor Herbert, the composer, conducted the orchestra last night at English's, and he was accorded one of the biggest orations ever tendered a composer at English's. In answer to the persistent demand of the audience. Mr. Herbert, at the close of ths first act, left the orchestra pit and went back t* ths stag*. When he appeared on ths stage with the entire cast the applause was overwhelming. Hr. Herbert, In assuring the andlence of his appreciation of the reception of “The Girl In the Spotlight,” stated that Georgs W. Lederer, ths producer, had sent the original cast to English's. "So often It Is claimed that ‘original casts’ are presented, but It Is generally a d-*n lie," admitted Mr. Herbert. He praised Mr. Lederer for sending to Indianapolis the original company, and so keeping faith with the public. Mr. Herbert probably did not appreciate how wflU the audiences In the smaller cities have patronised the the atere on ths promise of seeing the ''original company," but Mr. Herbert Intimated that producers are waking up to the fact that honesty Is the best policy. The house was capacity last night and the audience demonstrated the fact the original companies get the business In Indianapolis. The story of "The Girl In the Spotlight” Is not new but the music Is so tuneful, so appealing aud so real that the story even appears new. It concerns a ilttie housemaid who longs to be a leading lady and her dream comes true. Mary Mllburn, one of the real “finds,” which was predicted when she appeared here last season in “Angel Face,” plays and sings the role of Molly, the housemaid. I am not going to gosh, but Miss Mllburn Is a dear—she Is more than that, she brings to the stage wholesome, unaffected youth and a real voice and a gracious presence. The audience proved that Last* night by applause for her. Then there Is our old "Fiddlers Three” friend, Hai Skelly, dancing to the great enjoyment of the audience with his long, nimble legs. He Is at his best In comedy lines In the first act but does hla best long-legged dancing in the last act He Is an elongated edition of the word comical. He is sure fire. Eddie Dowling has many things to do In the show as Bill Wood, who blossoms out as a “maid” In the last act. Dowling “clowned” too much In the first act, rather overdid it, bat the audience encouraged Mm. He was a riot as the “maid” in the second act. Max Carr wins with a snappy song called “Catch ’Em Young, Treat 'Em Bough. Tell ’Em Nothing.” The melody hit and the choicest contribution of Mr. Herbert is “There’s a Tender Look In Your Eyes." It runs through the entire performance. Probably the best voice 1 possessed by Julia Kelety as Nina and she snng many encores last night to “Somewhere Somebody Is Calling.” The cAoras is young. good looking and well manmered. They know how to dance and are at all times sufficiently clad. Thai sure is a relief. The remainder of the cast keeps pace with the principal*. Scenery l beautiful. The andlence applauded that, too.

EVA LB GALLIEXXIS. Eva Le Galllenne, who enacts the role es the dreamy young girl In "Not 80 Long Ago,” which will be the attraction at the Murat next week, commencing Monday night, has great cause to be proud. Aside from the fact that Richard Le Galllenne, the calibrated poet, la her father, and Julie Norregaard, the famous woman journalist. Is her mother. Miss Le Galllenne also has the honor of having Mme. Sarah Bernhardt for a godmother. In was In Paris, not so long ago, that the famons Preach actress sftw little Miss Le Galllenne on the stage for ths first time. Mme. Bernhardt predicted a great future for the girl, and. In fact, was so favorably Impressed by her performance that she took a lively Interest in her and straightway decided to make Miss Le Galllenne her protegee. Among the latter's most treasured possessions Is a souvenir which the famous tragedienne gave her when she left Paris for London. Lng and utmost burled In tons es confetti —this Is the sort of Paris that Is disclosed In “The Frisky Mrs. Johnson," Billie Burke’s new picture, which Is at the Alhambra for the last half of the week.

some of the things the money derived from the seals has done In Marion County. ‘‘lt is largely due to the money from the sale of these seals that Marlon Connty now has a sanitarium like this," said Dr. Hatch. “The money enabled the Marlon County Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis to spread the propaganda which created a sentiment favorable towards the building of the sanitarium. It bought the automobile used by the visiting nurse from Bunny-

ride, increasing her efficiency by i.t least 50 cer cent. The money has aleo provided the materials for oir Industrial training courses which are very expensive. “The money has enabled the carrying on of the fight against the spread oL tuberculosis. These are just a few things that have been done and will continue to be done with the money derived from the sale of the Christmas seals. "Sunnyside has always done remarkably well In past years In the sale of

these seals In spit* of the fact that many of the patients have no Income during their stay here. Last year almost SIOO worth of seals were bought here." Christmas seal posters have been placed in the corridors and the rooms oit the sanltarlnm.
