Whilo there waa a preat difference of opinion In the criticism, the interest of tho "audience" was jso great that tho eye- nd-car poem was repeated directly afttr tho end of tho first performance.

Indian Princess and Cadman Charm Capacity House With Eloquent and Varied Program

Charles Wakefield Cad man and Princess Tsianina Bedfeather m;iv feel assured of a hearty welcome in South Bend if they ever choose to return. So charming was the program which they rendered Tuesday evening at tha Grilnth memorial at the Oliver opera house and so large was their audlenco that they may feel themselves well established in the estimation of the music, lovers of the city. The audience which greeted Cadman and Bedfeather idled practically every seat in the house, its size and responsiveness to the art of the musicians having been as eloquent a tribute to the man in whose memory the concert was held the late Milton B. Grillith as could have been asked. Part One, Memorial. Part one of the program was distinctly of a memorial character consisting of a group of songs opening with Homer's "Requiem" sung by the princess, two piano numbers by Cadman and Cad man's song cycle. "The Morning of the Year", sung by me Thalian quartet of South Bend. The quartet is composed of Mrs. ILura Grossman Schell. soprnno; Mrs. William Swintz, contralto; Karl W. Knorr, tenor, and Gerald Hunt, b:iss. The life and artistic linish which they gave to the beautiful collections of songs was 'decidedly commendable and seemed to please no one more than Cadman himself who verbally expressed to the musicians hi appreciation of their sympathetic interpretation. Cadman. South Bend audiences had heard previously and he quite retained the favor which he had gained in his former visit. The romantic appeal of his work added to its artistic value as the probable foundations of an American music, cannot fail to make it most pleasing to an audience whether it be normally musical or unmuskal. His folos were the "Andante Cantabile from A Major Sonata." "The Pompadour's Fan." "Kawas. Thy Baby is Crying," a Pawnee lullaby, and "Beside the Niobrara." the- latter two being still In manuscript. Priiio ApicaL. As for the Princess Tsianina, her success was instantaneous and each of her songs served but to accentuate the unique charm of her personality and of her voice, and her intensely sympathetic interpretations. Of course she could scarcely help giving to th? songs she sang a sympathetic interpratbn, bein herself a full blooded Indian with the ery spirit of the niirht as a special favor. 'I appreciated what he meant by his special favor when I learned later that tli- regular rate w its $1C," explains Craw ford. 'The foreign colony, consisting of ITnlish. Aim ricans. tYcnch ami Jermans. ilid not know who I was. but I mailed out my announcements." said Crawford, "and they were so hungry for amusement that they tlocked In.

' - ... r z1 :V; songs with their pathetic appeal born in her heart. She was very beautiful in her Indian garb of white leather adorned with strands of beads, with a band of beads about her straight black hair ornamented at the back with the long red feather from which her name is derived. She was :ls graceful and gracious as she was beautiful and her lovely mezzo soprano voice was of the rich mellow quality so wel. adapted to chanting melodies of which the program was largely composed. Love Sons: Kncored. Perhaps in none of her solos was she more lovely than in the Ojibway love song, "Her Shadow", in which she reproduced so effectively the motions of an expert canoeist that she carried her audience with her down stream pursuing the shadow of a JleeInt,' sweetheart. She was forced to respond to an encore with a repetition of the song. With equal graciousmss she repeated "Prom the Lmd of the Sky Blue Water". The selections with which she illustrated the delightfully arranged program were st numerous that separate mention of them is impossible though each was deserving of special commendation. Her rendering of "At Dawning", Mr. Gri'.lith's favorite. Cadman composition, was without Haw. The music talk which formed the s-econd part of the program was intensely interesting to both musician and layman. It was illustrated by vocal and piano numbers and by the use of actual Indian instruments. Mr. Cadman having rendered several mlodious, if somewhat peculiar, Indian songs cn an Indian llagcolet. Indian Music is Vocal. "Indian music," asserted Cadman. "Is essentially vocal and does not adapt itself well to the piano; it does sr. readily to orchestral rendition and perfectly to vocal. The emotions which called forth the primitive Indian melodies was quite as deep as that which creates the more perfectly developed music and it h evident in all Indian melodies. "our complex civilization bar? developed a complicated music. All Indian music is very simple and all the ancient and modern songs and chants of the race are based upon these simple foundations. All Indian musw is handed down from father to iun. None of It is w ritten, but has n carried down generation after generation by ear alone." During his brief stay in the city Mr. Cadman is the guest of Mrs. Milton B. Griffith, while the Princes? Tsianina Bedfeather is the guest of .Mrs. W. P. Taylor, W. Jefferson blvd. eigners in this town to fill the. hall for three more nights I arrued. "That's all right," he assured me. "They all come back every nhxht." Iut Crawford thought he had worn himself out on this audience, so ho traveled on. He went to China and gave his "show" in places where no one had attempted such a thing' bef o re. R. R.J0LLIS SPEAKS AT EPW0RTH MEMORIAL "Whatsoever God Says. Doeth," was the subject of an interesting talk given last night at the Lpworth Memoral chapel by 11. II. Jolliss of Lowell Heights church. The crowds are growing in size and the, interest in the meetings is improving every evening. A large delegation was pn sent from Ardmore school, Munsnn chapel. South Washi mission and the Meniion;te mission. Services this evening will be in charge of Clvde Wynegar of the I.asalle mission, lie will talk on "The New itirth" this evening.

This act comes well recommended and the statement is made that the largest and heaviest tank used for stae purposes is required for this act. On the same bill w ill be seen Master Lewis and companv in a romedv plavlvt. "Billy's Sunta"Claus." The leading actor is said to be the world's younirest comedian and is accompanied by his father, J. C. Lewis, who is well known to theatergoers uf a score of years ago as the producer of "Si Plunkard." Heron and Arnsman offer a snappy minstrel melange; Long, Chapron and Greene are three dainty maids at the piano and an artist named Stevens is known as the daddy of chair balancing acts. AKLIsS IX "DISBAFLI." Tho company supporting George Arliss in Louis N. Parker's comedy, ' Disraeli," which will be seen at the Oliver theater this evening, is the same organization that appeared with him during tho one year of Mr. Parker's play at Wallack's theater, New York, and includes such well known players as Margaret Dale, F.rnita Lascelles, Florence Arliss. Leila Bcpton, Charles Harbury, Vincent Stcrnoryd, Henry Carvill and others. Mr. Arliss' company is wholly Knglish and two of the actors, Harold Thomas and Edmund Corst, playing minor parts, were on the reservist list and called to England for service last October. Mr. Thomas was injured in tho battle of Aisne and is now in an army hospital at Oxford, Eng. St. Clair Baylield, a member of Mr. Arliss company, was formerly at the head of his own company in Australia. He made his lirst appearance in this, country with Mr. Arliss upon the first presentation of "Disraeli" four years ago. originating the part of the old gardener. TIIE AUDITORIUM. Today brings the 13th episode of "Tiie Exploits of Elaine" and there will be just one more, bringing the story to an end next week. A newserial under the same title will bo started immediately and the new east will include the well known actor. Edwin Arden. Arnold Daly wijl still he seen as Craig Kennedy, the great detective, and Pearl White, as Elaine. "The Badium Thieves." a three part Vitagraph drama with Leah Baird, Charles Kent and L. Koirera Lytton. and "Socially Ambitious," a Lubin drama with Arthur Johnson and Lottie Briscoe, are other pictures for today. Alice Joyce In a remarkable three act Kalrm drama, "The White Goddess," is one of the treats in store for tomorrow. The piece is said to be different from the average photoplay and shows this clever player in a strong role. Miss Joyce appears as Elsie. Farnum, a girl whose life is enshrouded in mystery. Once a year a Hindu appears and pa s all her expenses, loiter the girl is taken to India, estensibly to meet her parents, who she cannot remember ever having seen. But upon her arrival in the Orient, Elsie is astounded to discover that she is regarded as a goddess by the natives. The story which unfolds is a remarkable one. "Beneath the Sea." a two reel Lubin, and the Selig weekly of current news complete tomorrow's bill. 4I)ILOMACvv, The coming of any one of Charles Frohman's stars is always an occasion of interest in the course of a local theatrical season, but the arrival of three at once, and these three distinguished and established players, becomes something of nn unusual event. The remarkable announcement is made that Mr. Frohman's "trl-star" combination. William Gillette, Blanch Bates and Marie Doro, will be seen at the Oliver Thursday evening. April S, in the revival of Victorien Sardou's "Diplomacy." The association of the three players is in itself a tribute to Mr. Frohman's diplomacy, tact and powers of persuasion, for to complete thrt trio it was necessary to bring Mr. C.illette out of a retirement which at one time promised to be permanent. He has not acted since 1910. The engagement also signalizes tho return to this country of Miss Doro after a lengthy season in London. In the British metropolis she was seen in the same role, "Dora." the heroine, she is to play here. Her final English triumph came when she gave a command performance in "Diplomacy" before the king and queen at Windsor. In the rose of the Countess Zioka Miss Bate" has the type of characterization which first brought her fame and she Is credited with hrrving scored one of the most emphatic successes of her career.
