AMUSEMENTS NOTES. It- is not much to say that B. C.

Whitney's musical cocktail "Piff, Paff

Pouf ," last season's marked success, which will be seen here in the future, is by far the best work of its kind that

has been written in many years. It is rational, consistent, well written, both as to book and musical score, and Is deserving of the wide attention it has

received throughout the country, par

Here's another story by Al Wilson

who is booked for an early appearance

in his latest and greatest success en

titled "Metz In the Alps." Mr. Wil

son was playing last season at Nia

gara Falls, X. Y., and to make It pleasant for his company, hired sev

eral rigs and invite everyone to a

view of the great waterfall. When

they arrived in sight of the immense sheet of water, rushing in a graceful

curve over the precipice to the rocks below, they were filled with astonish

ment and awe and expressions of amazement were the order of the

moment

Mr. Wilson, turning to an old Ger

man smoking a pipe, exclaimed, "Isn't it grand, glorious, wonderful how it flows?" The German looked at him

moment, knocked the ashes from

his pipe, and said, "I don't see anything wonderful about dot vots to

hinder it?"

Lovers of realism will find it in

abundance in Wilton Lackeye's new play, "The Law and the Man," which is founded on that famous novel, "Les Miserables." WThen Victor Hugo wrote two books which he segregated under this title, he wanted to expose and right a great wrong. And he did, overthrowing the penal system of France, and incidently paving the way for the second revolution. Mr. Lackaye is playing the role of the unfortunate ex-galley slave, Jean Valjean, one of the most powerful characters in imaginative literature. Mr. A.

Brady has mounted the piece in his

lavish manner.

MISS GERTRUDE DES ROCHE.

Charming Young Woman Who Will be Seen With "The Hall Room Boys" at

the Gennett Monday Evening.

An abundance of good lines and pungent wit with dramatic situations

blended among the budicrous comedy by incidents called "A Race for a Wi

dow," comes to the Gennett soon. The company is said to be an unusually good one, headed by Pete Baker, the famous comedian of Chris and Lena, fame with Nina Belle Wilber as the widow.

Thomas Jefferson and the company

engaged to support him this season in "Rip Van Winkle" began rehearsals

next week. Mr. Jefferson's tour starts

September 17 with a two weeks en

gagement in Boston. Chicago follows.

Madame Mountford Is doing such a

tremendous business in England that

her managers, Sweely, Shipman &

Co., announce the postponement of

her Americen tour until the latter

part of November. She is to make a brief journey to Egypt and the Holy

Land prior to her return" here. This

will afford her an opportunity to rest and replenish her expensive wardrobe of Oriental costumes.

the force of carpenters and electricians. As soon as the carnival company reaches Richmond today the twenty-eight car-loads of paraphernalia will be transported to the grounds and bright and early Monday morning It will be put in place. The Hatch company carries such a large force of workmen that the various attractions will be in readiness in one day's time, so the opening will take place on Monday night as advertised. The Druids will give a parade at 7: SO Monday evening and the members of various other fraternal organizations are expected to participate. When the head of the procession reaches the carnival piazza, the formal opening of the Hatch shows will have begun and for the remainder o? the week there will be much pleasure In store for the thousands who are expected to visit the grounds. Everything is in readiness for the big event and the Druids are hopeful of most successful results. Parade Arrangements. Charles R. Unthank will act as grand marshal of the parade. His

aids will be Richard Van Zant, William Hofford and Lon Grice. The following directions relative to the parade were given out today: The Red Men will form on 9th street, light resting on Main.

Boys" is composed of 30 beautiful young ladies, it was quite impossible for Mr. Holly to engage this farmeractor and the temptation to dance might be too great for Mr. Benjamin Franklin Scoville.

f "SI PLUNKARD'V-GeMnei:. Si. Plunkard. a four-act comedy drama in which M. .1. C. Lewis is starring, is a story of good plain country folks, whose home is all but broken up by a villainous man of the world. Si Pa'nkard is the kind of play that appeals to all classes; a good rural drama is always enjoyable and one seldom tires of seeing them, especially when the picture is drawn to life as Si Plunkard is. Gennett patrons will have the opportunity to witness this most interesting play next Saturday, matinee and night. There will be a funny street parade by the famous Country Band.

REPERTOIRE AT THE PHILLIPS. The Richardson Stock Company comes to the New Phillips for an entire week, beginning Monday night,

Sept 10th. This company has a complete change of play every night and also for matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. They will open by putting on "Way Out West", a play of much merit, full of thrilling scenes and good wholesome comedy, which is interspersed with high-class specialties of the most pleasing nature. There are two and one-half hours of pleasing entertainment. The company takes pleasure in introducing Miss Gwendolynne Lewis the young and tallented actress, who plays the leads. Mr. Wm. O. Miller, leading man and Mr. F. A. Richardson, who essays the heavy rolls. Both these men are actors of successful careers. One novel feature will be the wrestle between Ling, a Chinaman and Fraze an Irishman. The company is said to carry more high-class specialties than any other company on the road and is also fully I

When "The Heir to the Hoorah" is

presented at the New York Acadamy

of Music on September 3, Ernest Lam-

son will again be seen as Dave Lacy, a part in which he has made a very

great success, in fact, he makes it the

star part of the comedy. It is one of

the cleverest impersonations made

known on the New York stage in recent years.

She is interviewing scienic artists, costumes, choosing her supporting company, and doing a thousand and

one things necessary in the production of the play,' and to judge by the energy with which she works it would

appear that a season of fifty-one weeks is just the proper tonic for a

star.

Jacob Gordon, the author of "The Kreutzer Sonata" in which Blanche Walsh has made a hit at the Manhat

tan Theatre in New York, has written and had produced upwards of seventy plays, all of which were presented in Yiddish. But it is doubtful if any of them has as much merit as "The Kreutzer Sonata." This play runs the gamut of nearly every human emotion and is a valuable pieca

of theatrical property. It ends something like "Francesca da Rimini" in which the husband kills his wife and

brother. In the Gordin drama the wife kills her husband and sister. In

this scene Miss Walsh scores heavily, and arouses the audience to 'a great pitch of excitement.

Richmond will send its usual quoto

of people to the Indiana State fair,

which will open its gates to the pub

lic on Monday. Special excursion

rates are given. ;

One of the wonders of the fair will

be the poultry show. There are 2S6 first prizes offered on chickens, tur

keys, geese and other barnyard foul, the awards in this department of the

fair amounting to $2,000, and there

will be from ten to forty fowls seek

ing each prize. At least 4,000 fancy

fowls will be on exhibition. .

That Indiana is producing extraor

dinary farm crops is indicated by the agricultural exhibits which have been entered at the exposition. The corn show is expected to be uncommonly fine?" The show of fruit will be ela

borate, and a number of county hor

ticultural societies will seek the $100

in cash which tha State Board of

Agricultural offers for the best gen

eral exhibit of fruit. Three or four

thousand plates of grapes will be seen

in Horticultural hall. Acres of Machinery

In point of ground space covered,

the largest department of the fair

will be that of machinery. Manufac

turers have engaged about thirty

acres for the purpose of showing new wrinkles in straw-stackers, threshers,

Jpowsv wagons and similar contri

vances for saving labor in the fields.

There will be about twice as many buggies and carriages on exhibition as were ever seen at any former In

diana fair, and it will require several

acres of canvas to shelter them.

All around the broad fair grounds one hears the same story from department superintendent of ovef-

crowded conditions. It is said at the swine and sheep pens, at the cattle

barns, in the art hall. About the on

ly exhibitor who Is expected to have

all the room he desires will be the

airship man, and he will have to go

up in the air to get it.
