DUTCH WIN ISLE IN PACIFIC OVER UNITEDSTATES Controversy on Ownership of Las Palmas Settled After Thirty Years. ' BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 6.—Arbitration as a means of ironing out the rough spots in American foreign relations has proved successful in the quarrel with Holland over the ownership of Las Palmas, an insignificant and wild island in the Pacific, which the United States has claimed for thirty years. Although the verdict was against this country, it was indicated today the award would be accepted, particularly in view of the reaction rejection would have on the arbitration treaty negotiations the United States is now conducting with many countries. Recalls Samoa’s Dispute Peaceful settlement of the controversy over Las Palmas oilers a striking contrast with the many naval threats and years of haggling which have marked disputes over other Pacific islands. In the case of the Samoas, for example, an ultimate agreement was reached only after two treaties had been signed and then not until Great Britain, Germany and the had dispatched sizeable naval forces to the islands. Opium Trade Flourishes More than once this country was accused in London and Berlin of attempting surreptitiously to establish a protectorate over the Samoas. In 1889 an agreement was concluded in Berlin providing for a three-power protectorate, but ten more years of bickering among themselves and of quarreling with the natives led to division of the islands in 1899 among the three powers Las Palmas is a stretch of Jungle land rising out of the sea about fifty miles southwest of Mindinao, in the Philippines. Some 700 people inhabit it. It was to suppress the opium smuggling trade of the island that the United States sought Oxygen and hydrogen are the elements which combine to form waiter.

WE HAVE THE BEST OF OPERATIC FUN The Pirates of Penzance’ Is the Most Beautiful of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas That Winthrop Ames Has Given the American Stage. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE most beautiful picture that Winthrop Ames has given the American stage is to be found in his production of “The Pirates of Penzance.” “The Pirates” probably is the most robust and the most red-blooded of all of the operas that Gilbert & Sullivan have given us.

This show is full of the tunes that have lingered in the memories of thousands of people for years. Such as “When Fred’ric Was a Little Lad,” “Oh, Better Far to Live and Die,” “Climbing Over Rocky Mountain,” “Oh, Is There Not One Maiden,” “Poor Wand’ring One,” 1“ Am the Very Pattern,” "Oh, Leave Me Not to Pine,” “When a Felon’s Not Engaged,” and “Come, Friends, Who Plough the Sea.” This show has

fun that will rank with the best that the stage has ever produced. The tunes at times are so tantalizing that they are lofty. There is the marching tempo to several numbers that make you forget yourself as you never have in the theater. I am going the limit when I tell you that last night I spent my most completely

g.‘.

satisfactory night in the theater while hearing this company in “The Pirates.” Here is the most satisfactory organization we have had in Indianapolis since I have been telling you about theaters. And the shame and the pity of it all is that so few people are witnessing these treats. I have seen this company in the three operas that they are presenting, and I tell you with all sincerity that each production is perfect. It is a libel against this city that so few people are seeing these operas. I am telling you frankly that Indianapolis from a civic and theatrical standpoint is going to be all in the “red” when the facts are known about the rottten business done by this company. It makes no difference how few people are present this company acts and sings as if thousands were turned away. I am perfectly disgusted with the way this city has bought these revivals.. We have had the best and we have failed to buy it. The marvelous ovation that those present gave “The Pirates” last night is enough proof of the merits of the performance. It is seldom that one company can be a hundred per cent efficient in three different productions but this company is. There is no argument to it. The cast is so all important for “The Pirates of Penzance” that I give it to you in full: Richard, a Pirate Chief John Barclay Sahuel. his Lieutenant. .J. Humbird Duffey Frederic, a Pirate Apprentice William Williams Major-General Stanley, of the British Army Fred Wright His Orderly George C. Lehrian Edward, a Sergeant of Police William C. Gordon A Doctor of Divinity.. .George C. Lehrian (Genera'.

Hartwell DeMille, Melvin Hemphill, Larry Lauder. Benn K. Leavenworth. Lawrence L. Lewis. Rav Melton. Walter Owens. Allvn C. Saurcr, J. Gordon Selwood. John Sindall, Miller Sparks, George Wharton, Victor S. Wrenn. The program gives you this im-

portant data regarding the history of “The Pirates:” "The Pirates of Penzance ' was the fourth opera written in collaboration bv Gilocrt Sullivan, the three previous ones being “Trial by Jury.” The Sorcerer" and "H. M. S. Pinafore." The opera had its first production at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in New York on the 31st of December. 1879. The reason that the American performance preceded the English one was that in the absence of an international copyright ia.v ”H. M. S. Pinafore" had been pirated in America (at one time no less than seven productions were running simultaneously in New York i and the authors determined to produce "The Pirates" ilrst in America. The principal singers were brought from England and rehearsals were conducted bv Gilbert in New York, with Sullivan himself leading the orchestra on the opening night. Meantime, to secure the English copyright. a "scratch" performance, hastily rehearsed, and sung by several of the performers with scores in their hands, had been given in a tiny bandbox of a private theater at Paignton, a small seaside tillage In South Devon. Paignton wn ; chosen for its remoteness and for the fact that a company, touring the provinces in "H. M. S. Pinafore" was playing at the same time in the adjacent town of Torquay and could be used for the performance. The •audience was purposely limited to a handl ful of those connected with the Gilbert [ and Sullivan enterprise, and the first program is headed: "Royal Bijou Theater. Paignton. Tuesday. Dec. 30, 1879. For one day only, at 2 o'clock, an entirely new and original opera, by Messrs, w. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, entitled. rr he Pirates of Penzance.’ ’being its first production in any country.” This historic performance had added interest for Americans because the cast included one Mr. H. Mansfield" as the Major General, the aforesaid ”R. Mansfield” being no other than our own star. Richard Mansfield, who was then serving his apprenticeship as a singing comedian in D’Oyly Carte’s touring comoanv. As soon as the American production was safely launched Gilbert <te Sullivan returned to England to supervise the London opening which took place at the Opera. Comique on Saturday. April 3. 1880. and. incidentally, marked the beginning of hi.-, brilliantly successful partnership between I author, composer and D’Oyly Carte, manager. It is said that Gilbert derived his JnI spiration for "The Pirates” from an incident which happened to him in childhood. While traveling with his parents in Italy he was stolen by hrigands in Naples, kidnaped from his nurse. It seems obvious that tins was in mind in the incident where Ruth, when a nurse-meid, was told to apprentice Frederic to a pilot, instead of which she apprenticed him to a oirate: "Mistaking my instructions, which within my brain did gyrate. I took and bound this promising boy apprentice to a pirate. A sad mistake it was to make and doom him to a vile lot. I bound him to a pirate—you—instead of to a pilot.” In “The Pirates of Penzance” we have the best opportunity to see what both the male and female chorus can do as well as the principals. There is real chorus singing in “The Pirates.” I am not going to pick out the individual work of any one person m “The Pirates” because the entire company is perfect. The only bad thing about the whole business is the small audiences that are passing up the treat of the season. Before I forget it. I want to call your attention to the spirited, in- ; telligent and competent directing of Sep Morscher in the orchestra pit. j Here is a man that, not only knowns his Gilbert and Sullivan, but loves j their works. Here is masterful co- j operation with those on the stage. “The Pirates of Penzance” will be the offering at English's tonight and Saturday night with “The Mikado” j on Saturday afternoon. a tt a SPEAKING OF QUICK CHANGE ARTISTS There seems to be quick change artists and quick change artists.

features. And then have him sit, or stand, in front of you and in the twinkling of an eye, change, is a bit too much. Aldrich has several characters that he impersonates. Sir Thomas Lipton and Dickens’ Fagan, a juggler and several others. A troupe of “trained whiskers” is also part of the paraphernalia of this man. He has some good things here. The Upham-Whitney revue Is a mighty good dance act. I was struck more with the chorus. The success of a dance act that has a chorus depends a great deal on the chorus, and this has a good one. The girls do a Spanish number that is rather good. They are followed by Jeanne Upham and Ivan Luttman in a Spanish number. Miss Upham does the dance on her toes. Val Richard docs several eccentric and acrobatic dances. The final is the Varsity Drag, done first by two of the girls, then by Miss Upham and Luttman and then by all the company. A good revue. Acrobatic are usually just acrobatics, but Inez and DeWynn have given a classical touch to the usual. Miss Inez does most of the work and uses DeWynn as a support. This 'woman does the split in more different ways than I thought possible. She is good. There is an act that I f-ff’ to find listed. I have seen this man before, but I don't, remember his name. He has a lot of hokem stuff and comedy dancing that is very funny. Among other things he tries to run six different kinds of dances into one. And makes a pretty successful job of it. There Is another hokem act on the bill. Everything has the touch of burlesque. And to make it even more grotesque Harry Bussey, of Bussey and Case, looks something like W. C. Fields, when he wears his trick mustache. There are a lot of nonsensical things in ihe act, but Leading off the bill are the they get their laugh. Strauss Juniors, Edward and Leßoy.

Just Sew-Sew That's How Henry Feels After Paying for Stitches.

IF you feel in a mood to commit assault and battery, go easy on your target or Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter might charge you $5 for every stitch necessary to sew your victim up. Henry Raymond. 31, Negro, appeared on an assault and battery charge. Ke was in a fight with Richard Ware, Negro, Tuesday night. To recondition Richard, fourteen stitches were necessary. Richard started fighting Raymond, according to evidence submitted, when Raymond caught Richard entering his wife's room, in the boarding house at 636 Superior St., where the trio lived. Judge Wetter ciphered it out—he mastered when in grade school —that five dollars times fourteen stitches is S7O and plus $lO (court costs) equals SBO. “I fine you S7O and costs, making SBO and you can serve seventy days in jail,” the court ruled.
