GRAND OPERA HoUSE-MEMORlAL CHURCH CON
CERT.
The concert for the benefit of the Memorial
Presbyterian Church at the Grand Opera house
last night very largely attended and the pro-
gramme given was such as to be received with
every evidence of favor. 1t included soprano
solos by Mrs Enrique Miller and Mrs Henrietta
Ba' meier, instrumental solos by Will. L. Bates
(cornet). NJ. H. Spades (viou), and Mrs Flora
Nj. Hunter, all of which were rendered with
much taste. Miss Anna Constant, the pianist, OF
Peru, advertised, but was. unable to
appear, and Miss Florence Bamherger took her
place on the programme, playing duet with
Miss Clara Miller. The ENTERTAINMENT was 9TH
erwise varied by Mr.. RIley's popular dialect
sketches a recitation by Mr.. Harry Baldwin, "a
chorus by the Boyston Club an attractive ex-
inhibition drill by the Light Infantry drum corps
and picturesque tableaux by the Richardson
Zouaves. The church wllbe materially assisted
by the proceeds of the entertainments.
MISS CLARA MORRIS.
Miss Clara Morris and her husband arrived in
the city yesterday, accompanied by her man
ager, Mr.. Frank Good win. No theatrical event
has excited more interest in this city for years
than Miss MOrris's appearance tonight, as the
advance sale clearly indicates. But few seats
are left on the lower floor, and the demand for
eligible locations in the family circle is so great
that it is extremely probable that standing
room only can be obtained after the doors open.
Miss Merrs's reputation is that of leading Amer.
lean actress, as well as lady whose private life
is as exemplary as her public career has been
brilliant. Her airst appearance in Indianapolis
promises TO be as profitable TO her manager as
