BY MARION PAPER

In a Very Sarcastic Editorial The Chronicle of that City' Gives Opinion of Richmond notable. . mm IS TATTLE-TALE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION

Peevish Editor Claims Local Literatus Looks Like Cromwell, But Makes Campaign Like Falstaff.

In a recent Issue of the Marion (Chronicle, a republican paper, the editor went to the mat with one of Richjnond's most prominent citizens, the Hon. William Dudley Foulke. His very sarcastic editorial was reproduced with savage delight by the Indianapolls News, one of the victims of President Roosevelt's wrath. The article in question follows: . Almost every one in Indiana knows the Hon. William Dudley Foulke, of Richmond. Long ago he appointed himself chairman of the general committee on other people's business and jhe has been working a day and night shift at the job ever since. In Indiana fce is generally supposed to be a genItleman of great Influence at Washington and at Washington he has convinced some people that he is a person of weight in Indiana. Here in Hooslerdom he sustains the same relation to politics that James Byron Elmore does to literature. He is what is commonly known as a pseudo or nearstatesman. Since the death of the Immortal J. N. no one in this part of the country has been so gratuitously active In assuming the pressure and revealing all. We have by no means completed the calling of the roll of Mr. Foulke's acocmpllshments. He is an author who writes books which nobody reads, an orator who composes speeches that no one listens to, and a political general whose whole army marches under its leader's hat. He finds time, in addition to looking after the duties attendant upon the proper discbarge of the functions of all these positions, to sign the government payroll whenever he can be indulged in this chief delight of a true civil service reformer; and when not suffering from writer's cramp as the result of this exercise, he writes pieces for the press characterizing in scathing terms

the lowbrowed politicians who run

things in his ballwlck. ' owing to tae fact that he is too busy himself to go out and clean them up and take possessrbn of all the chairmanships, nominations, federal jobs, etc. It is easy to see that there is worry in the recesses of the Foulke being because there is not enough of him to go around in all the places of trust, reBponslbility and profit and that he realises that the Creator quit making honest Hoosters when he tired Himeell out in the task of manufacturing William Dudley. Foulke. But even all this does not exclusively; engage the attention of the Richmond literatus who looks like Cromwell and campaigns like Falstaff. He reads the papers carefully and whenever some one says something disagreeable about the president he hits the, high places between Richmond and Washington to lay the matter before the chief executive, with the claim that it is indispensable to the president's reputation that he, Foulke, should be the recipient of a letter branding the authors of the heinous' fabrications as malefactors whose mendacity is equaled only by thetr lack of veracity or something

mall their orders direct to the theater and the same will receive immediate attention. Seats are now on sale and so overwhelming has been the demand that the wise playgoer, who takes time by the forelock, should make early application for desirable seats.

consider the safe and simple rule for a student to go by in regard to the length of time for laily practice? "My own pupils," replied Mme. Marches!, "sing no longer than half an hour at the beginning. This is divided between placing the voice and practicing some of the elementary exercises, always in a slow tempo, sing some vocalized passages and practice them for an hour a day, but not at one time. During the first period the vocal cords being too tender, must not be subjected to prolonged work.

The New Phillips. Taking his voice and throwing it out Into the audience and apparently making some innocent onlooker say things that he never thought of saying and which are not at all embarrassing is the stunt that Hampton will begin doing tomorrow afternoon at the New Phillips. Hampson is a ventriloquist of no mean reputation and has scored a success in those cities he has appeared in this season. He spices his act with a good deal of rich humor and a song or two. Mr. and Mrs. Danny Mann( that sounds familiar, doesn't it) will put on one of the old time favorite vaudeville acts that all heads of families delight in witnessing. This is a New England rural play combining humor and pathos in a very pleasing and sentimental way. It isn't the lushy, splashing kind of sentiment that is

offered but the kind- of sentiment that

underlies the daily acts of every person. "Mandy Hawkins" is primarily a picture of the . lives of two people

of everyday life, with perhaps-a-lit tie more than the average weight of

love and affection thrown in. The

Danny and his wife carry their own

scenery and stage settings lending

thus an entirely fresh atmosphere to their own act. Harry and Kitty Sutton will make their appearance some time during the afternoon in a pleasing little novelty act that has its due amount of humor and song. The work of these two vaudeville actors is quite above the average in their line. , Three films of moving pictures and the illustrated song along with a new selection of Cinic opera music by Miss Hazeltlne 'will complete the program.

Otis Skinner. Unquestionably one of the best plays seen in New York last season was Otis Skinner's successful romantic comedy. "The Honor of the Family," which ran for four months to overflowing audiences at the Hudson theater. The past theatrical season was almost barren of any genuine achievements in the line of romantic

- Aubrey Stock Co. The Aubrey Stock Co., which Is booked to appear at the Gennett theater on Jan. 19 for a five days engagement has a reputation and needs no introduction, their plays are far above the average repertoire companies, put on staged and acted like a dollar attraction, those who witness the opening performance will be assured with a scenic production. In every detail, nothing has been spared to make this the banner repertoire of the season. The plays are under heavy royalty, leased from Mittenthal Bro's., Vance and Sullivan and Al Wood's. All special scenery is carried for each production, no old or worn out plays under new titles. This company plays all the larger cities and will be a treat to lovers of melo dramas, and it is not very often that I can recommend a Stock Co., but this one should play to packed houses during their five nihts engagement.

Mme. Marches!. Then comes that necessary of success which is the unseen force of bo many hopes and discouragements "Good Fortune." This elusive and fickle god Mme. Marches! places among her fame deities. Without good fortune the most persevering, the most magnetic, the most carefully trained singer may be lost, strenuous as do the philosophers of the most "perseverance-will-win-school oppose it. "And tenth," says Mme. Marches!, "comes that greatly prized and important thing individuality of character. It is this which makes the really great singer stand forth from the mere mechanical contrivance of a phonograph. Individuality has carried many a singer on the top wave, of success just as it has made the careers of artists, of actresses or writers." "And thethirteenth essential," the great singer was asked?

I quickly, "why," with a laugh, "Indi

viduality again. Oh yes, individual

ity again. Doesn't that make the numbers?" "There are a few practical hints on singing," it was suggested to the

famous song Interpreter "that would give the greatest joy to the hearts of young girls who are unable to get your direct and personal advico. Will you explain how one can best develop volume of tone without sacrificing the quality of it as the tone grows stronger?" "A good method and patient work under a conscientious teacher will develop the volume of the voice without spoiling it, providing it is never forced. The registers must never be pushed beyond their power limits, for the opposite course in these two things is the principal cause of the modern plague of broken voices."

"How may one determine the classi

fication of a voice?" Mme. Marches! was asked. "Is it the compass or the timbre quality that decides?"

"A careful and accurate qualification

of the different voices is the essen

tial elementary foundation of voice culture and voice cultivation," replied Mme. Marches!. "It is the Ignorance of this fundamental principal that is the cause of the actual decline In the

art of song. Timbre and not compass decides th echaracter of a voice. As a general rule the mexzo-sopranos have

a darker timbre than the sopranos and

the lyric or light (colorative) sopranos

possess a clearer timbre than the dra .matic soprano.

At several performances "standing room only" was at a premium. A success of this sort invariably attracts not only .the. fashionable word of society ahd" the dilletanti of the metropolis, but that large body of playgoers who take a genuine interest in good drama and fine acting. The box office of the Hudson theater registers the largest receipts in the history of this house where so many worthy plays have received notable production. The Hudson theater has ever since its opening proved a vertiable home of successes. It remained
