NOTES.
John T. Raymond has a new play called Fer
guson," which is said to be very funny
With four theaters giving performances
nightly, and almost every week, there ought to
be no dearth OF amusements this season.
Harry G. Richmond, who is playing at the Zno
this week, ought to be higher M, for he is
comedian OF much originality and cleverncss.
Miss Carrie Gilohrist and Miss Nellie Farreu,
prominent London actresses, have arranged for

It's vaguely suspected that Manager English
is about to book an "Uncle Tom" show, he
mas had an uneasy look for several days past. as

The suggestion seems npportune that the
'bentftJ racket is overworked here, and it
would he well for Managers English and Dick
son hereafter TO let attractions depend for pat
ronage upon their own merits.
The "legitimate' seems to be very strong in
Indianapolis this season. The "Bandlt King"
company last night drew nearly as many pet-
pie as all the other theaters combined. 1t you

The Grand Opera-house orchestra went out on
a strike, yesterday afternoon, but came right
back. as the differences between them ana Man

Minnie Palmer's success In England is remark
able and at the same time almost Inexnlcable.
A recent London letter says of her: On the occa-
sion OF the first appearance of Miss Minnie
Grand Theatre. the critics were unusually severe
in their denunciations. Miss Palmer was ac-

music halls of the second class and her manner
isms ana marked American accent were dwelt
upon with perslstency which certainly indiea-
ted an unusual amount of prejudice. Notwith-
standing these adverse opinions this theatre has
been crowded nightly, and such has been tho
popular success of the piece that Hiss Palmer
determined to make a special feature of tO-day's
matinee. Invitations were issued to a large
number OF actors and critics, who apparently
occupied the whole of the parterre during the
progress of the piece. Recalls were frequents
The universal opinion was that the per-
fOrmance was complete success and
what had before been condemned
was Landed TO the skies Miss Palmer is now
lkened to our London favoTite, Miss Nellie Fac-
rem, and her success aud popularity are I'M
doubted. The so-caled AmericauIsms and music.

threaten to become the fashion.
