Bride and Groom Were "Vic

tims" at the Gennett Yesterday Afternoon. J THEY OCCUPIED A BOX BROTHER OF THE GROOM TAKES PART IN THE SHOW AND HE STARTED FUN FOR HIMSELF AND THE AUDIENCE. The mere act of taking a seat In the box at the Gennett theatre, attracts only momentary attention under ordinary circumstances, but yesterday afternoon the people in the pit were strangely attracted to a beautiful young woman and handsome young man who quietly slipped into the theatre and down to the left box, a few moments before the curtain rang up on "In the Hands of the Czar," a drama presented by the Van Dyke & Eaton company which is holding the boards at the Gennett theatre this week. It was a strange something that held the attention of the people, the young man and woman were both 4 it tl .1 i i -t .i 4 handsome and beautiful, but many such people have also entered boxes at the theatre who have been like1 1 wise beautiful and handsome, but j-l never caused such a pronounced flurj The little smiles, the shy gl-uices, the blushes, all contributed to the p opinion formed by the large audience t that the couple were lovers and greatly devoted, y The gaze of the audience was soon 1 1 directed however to the play but after the curtain had fallen on the first if act, the gaze was again directed In , the way of the young couple, but this I time in a far different manner, it was : to laugh at their confusion. 1 James E. McCoy a member of the 1 ' company, came on to do his turn a .4 A . . . i A i . instead ne Degan ai once to snower the couple with rice, old shoes and in fact nearly every other thing that could be found behind the scenes. V The audience quickly responded by n grinning, then smiling and when a small card was pinned to the box ' publishing the fact that the young people were a nappy pair , the audience roared. The couple blushed. The little card bearing the message, "Just Married" was then posted and It was another signal for an outburst of applause which lasted for almost fifteen minutes. The card fell at one m time, and the young groom stooped

I ?, over and replaced it on the nail

where it had first been placed, in order to show the people, who had laughed , till their sides were sore, that he was not at all embarrassed. As to whether or not he succeeded, nnlnfona dlfff-r hut nf. leasf ho rrfrlv. wed the good will of the audience as i-ldid his blushing bride. 1 1 It was later learned that the bridegroom was no other than George A. 5 1 McCoy of Indianapolis, a brother of ithe man-whom had played the joke him.

Modjeska, who will appear here ntxt Monday night as "Lady Macbeth." Of all the roles she takes, Mme. Modjeska is said to appear to much the best advantage in "Macbeth." ......

AT THE THEATERS Madame Modjeska Gennett. A tinge of regret is mingled with the satisfaction that local theatergoers feel over the forthcoming appearance in the near future, in this city of Madame Helena Modjeska, for the announcement has been made that this brilliant actress and idolized woman comes to say "Good-bye." She is this season, making her farewell tour. As it is an education in itself to witness her seemingly inspired 'stage impersonations, this last opportunity will undoubtedly be taken advantage of by a great many of our theater goers. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Two large and pleased audiences featured Christmas day at the New Phillips and the program offered was the subject of much favorable comment. From piano overture to mo tlon pictures pictures there is not a dull moment and the audience showed its appreciation by recalling the performers several times. Cunningham and Smith, sketch team, presenting "The Shoplifters" and introducing their singing dog "Zero," continue to make good with the audiences In no uncertain way. Tulsa, who is filing a second enaiemnt here, is more clever and fascinating than ever. Cal Lankert is at his bes. in tne song chosen for him this week and he receives the most cordial greeting. Spedden and Hersoa. Hugh and Bessie Lee and the Philoscope do their full share toward the entertaining and all told the public is given a dime's worth that is the most liberal' of measure, to say the least. There will be a souvenir matinee today and r4Nspec:al matinea for children on Saturday, with a double performance Saturday night. Repertoire at the Gennett. The Van Dyke and Eaton company, at the Gennett this week, gave two excellent performances yesterday to crowded houses. Both audiences were delighted with the performances, and the company has won a secure place with Richmond theatre goers. The specialties between acts are new and d'fferent at each performance and they alone afford an afternoon or evening of pleas'ng amusempnt "For Hpr Husband's S.ik" i lav now tn Richmond theatre pmrs will be the bill for the matinee today. Best Man Wins'' will be the bill presented tonight. Miss Ollie Eaton will appear in her $1,500 mother of pearl gown tonight only. "The Woman in the Case" Gennett. Von Mitzel & Summer's production of "The Woman in the Case" is the very attractive announcement of the Gennett Theatre management New Year's Day matinee and evening. Here is one instance at least where our play goers have not to wait a year or more to see a play after it has run its course in New York, for this play inis direct from the Herald Square Theatre where it enjoyed a brilliant engagement of four months. "The Woman in the Case" is conceded on all sides to be the best of the many plays which Clyde Fitch has contributed to the American stage. It is, as aro all of Mr. Fitch's plays, replete with pungent and witty dialogue, but in addition it has a vitality interesting story, and possesses more dramatic suspense than any of his previous offorts. In other words it is one of those popular plays which managers and public alike are always looking for but seldom find. In the character of Margaret Rolfe Miss Ruth Chester is seen as an up-to-date and refined cultured American woman with her youth, beauty and charming speaking voice make the more attractive. In the third act which has created so much talk as to become almost famous, an opportunity Is supplied which demands much of that potent virtility and firo which Miss Chester possesses perhaps more

....

?4 i than almost any other actress now before the public. A big factor in the success of "The Woman in the Case" is certainly its title, for it would apply with equal force to probably nine-tenths of the tragedies and more than half of the comedies that have ever been written there's a woman in every case, at least in every interesting case. IS MONEY IN BASEBALL SO BAN JOHNSON TrJINKS President of the American Has Gradually Advanced ary From $1,200 a Year Home Run Pay of $15,000. League His Salto the Money in base ball? Well listen to this: President Ban lohnson, of the American League, has had his 000 a year. Money in ently. Not many salary increased to $15,appar - base ball? Well years ago Johnson was getting $1,200 for running a base ball league. Which means that his successive salary promotions are indicative of the growth of the great American sport. As well, it is indicative of the business acumen that has been devoted to the base ball field. Here is the way that President Johnson has "worked along. Start $1,200. First hit S2.000. " Two-bagger $2,500. Three-bagger $5,000. More hits $7,500. Still more hits $10,000. Home run $15,000. When Johnson took hold of the Western League, out of which the American League grew, his stipend was $1,200. Some time later it 'Was doubled, thef it was doubled azain. then increased to $7,500. In 1903 $10,000 was considered proper for him and at the same time he was elected to the presidency unt'.l 1910. Now, with a $15,000 salary, he has at least three years to enjoy It And then again there is noTt only the money, but the satisfaction of "making up with President Comiskey to boot. , Does base ball pay?

A few weeks later he gathered up a score or more of dogs, and after a month of training, gave his first exhibition in the old opera house of this city, which is still used as a show house. The first night he did not have more than 100 people to see his exhibition, and he has often said it was the most trying time of his life, but the few who were in the house were pleased and went away praising the exniDition. rne next two nights the opera house was crowded. in his pocket, he started for Bedford. rnis staKea mm, ana wnn izo Bloomfield and other small towns of those days having good success, and at the end of the first year he returned to Bloomington with more than $5,000 j in his pocket. He set about at once ! to imPro.ve hia show and added a few ponies. The following year he dou bled his i.et income. Until then he had traveled in baggage cars with his dogs and ponies, but the third year he equipped a special car, and his three brothers joined him. From that day until the present the shows have grown with each year, and at one time they had four different exhibitions on the road. Indianapolis Favorite Show City. A few years ago, J. W.
