BEAUTIFUL GERALDINE FARRAR. The beauty of Miss Geraldioe Fairer, the yonng American prima donna. Is

emphasized bj the brilliancy of some of her stage costumes. One of these

which serves to enhance her charms exceptionally well is shown in the illustra

tion. It I worn in "Aula." On ths recent occasion of her farewell performance at the Royal Opera' House in Berlin, preparatory to her departure for

N ;w York. Miss Farrar received an ovation which testitled to the esteem ic which she is held by German opeia goers.

"45 Minutes from Broadway Gennett. After a remarkable career of prosperity in both New York and Chicago, Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger announce the forthcoming engagement in this city, at the' Gennett on next Monday night, of Geo. M. Cohan's brilliant

success, r orty-r ive Minutes from

Broadway." which will be seen here with all its wealth of gorgeous stage settings, presented by a company of well established reputation, headed by the peerless Corinne, so long and favorably known as one of America's most famous comediennes. She is surrounded by such capable and well known people as Scott Welsh, Charles Arthur, Claire Granville, Elphye Snowden, Susan Chisnell. Riley Chamberlain and an excellent ensemble of many pretty girls. In this play Mr. Cohan has succeeded in doing what many authors have tried to do but with little success. He has given to the stage a semi-serious play with a musical setting. The musical numbers are all big favorites. "So Long

Mary" is now probably more famoui than any other song of recent years, while "Mary Is a Grand Old Name," is giving it a close race for popularity. With the success of this play Mr. Cohan immediately established himself as the very best writer of this ;

style of stage entertainment in Amer ica.

"The Awakening of Mr. Pipp" Gennett. As a musical comedy of the present generation, "The Awakening of Mr. Pipp," is distinct from similar productions in the. simple fact that it is entirely different. Th epiece is a strange mixture of music, farce, comedy, opera and a slight touch of drama. These elements givo it a distinction all its own and it must be admitted that this distinction is interest ing and pleasing to study. But above the libretto the music, and the scenic effects, shines the acting of Charley Grapewin in the title role. It is Mr. TJrapcwin who is 'beiing starred, not the play. It is he who pilots the action of thr scenes and sends this

strange performance safely through

Mr. Huntington will get an especial

WINNER OF "PIT" PRIZE

In Carefully Prepared Count he Figured that Company Appearing Here Tonight Would Travel 20,928 Miles.

O. F. Ward, 1114 Main street, has

been awarded the box seats for the ! production of "The Pit" at the Gen-! nett theatre this evening, his calculation of the mileage of the company during its present season being the nearest correct, in fact being very close to - the actual mileage. Of the many answers received to tho advertisement whicii was printed in the

Palladium a few days ago, Mr. ;

When asked last night as to wheth

er the local authorities would take any action upon the matter of abolishing many of the high school clubs, a few

of them going under the names of fraternities and sororities, which have been organized at the local high school Principal Ellabarger stated that as yet nothing has been done to molest them and nothing woulld be done, owing tc the fact that the various clubs forme were merely social organizations among the students, and so long as they remained merely local organizations, and did not take up any affilin tion with national high school secrel societies, the local school board would do nothing to stop their growth. In the pastseveral weeks several secret clubs have been formed at the high school and it is very probable that more will follow. Following i nthe light of the great upheaval against high school organi zations by the high educational authorities of the State. Principal Ellabarger's statement will create joy in the hearts of the local students, who have organized clubs under Greek letter names, and who have confident

ly expected faculty intervention. In many of the high schools of the State where clubs are going under Greek letter names, they are purely local affairs, and they, even though they

hava no affiliation 'ith national high school fraternities, have evoked the wrath of the thool officials. Two of

tho most notable instances of this kind is in Shortridgo and Manual

Training high schools of Indianapolis

These two schools are veritable hot

beds for high school secret societies

"The Pit" Gennett. William A. Brady's great produc

tion, "The Pit," in which that mana

ger is tarring Wright Huntington,

will be seen at the Gennett tonight.

"The Pit" promises to hold it3

place in stage history as the great

object lesson against speculation, or

gambling, just as "Drink," is a sermon against drunkenness, and "Uncle

Tom's Cabin" a crusade against slavery. There are men of cold, calculating and phlegmatic temperament

who can gamble and drink and use

opium for jears, and-yet appear to be little influenced. But not so with an

other class men of keen Imagination, idealistic and poetic temperament, of high strung and nervous organism.

After the fascination of the whea

pit has thrown its spell over Curtis

Jadwin's brain, the man become transformed. We hear no more of the

Sunday school; his wife is neglected;

all these things which he before most enjoyed become for him stale, fiat, unprofitable. The mania for gambling

drives out wellnigh all also. He be

comes as much a slave of the pit for

a time as a man ever becomes of drink, of opium, or of the hallucina-
