1t is not often that Indianapolis has OPP
portunty to see a thoroughly refined vau-
deville performance, nor is it often that
Tony Pastor and Lew Dockstader play at
popular prices. The engagement will draw
from all classes, and several theater parties
have already arranged for seats. Last
spring Tony Pastor appeared with his COM
pany at the Grand at the regular prices of
that theater. AS reorganiZed for the season
of 1867, his company is stronger than
that seen here six months ago. Lew Dock
stader alone is tower of strength and
the three Bouffons, who were secured from
Paris a few weeks ago, will give of
the cleverest acts ever seen in this city.
Mr.. Pastor himself appears at every per-
Torrance, matinees as well as evenings.

Friday. Mr.. Pastor does not like to have
his performance broken, hence there will
be no intermssion. The engagement is
for a week and matinees will be given

among the real stage beauties of the day,
and, besides that, is charming actress.
There is a style to her clothes and a finish
to her acting which make a great combina-
ton. Mr.. Reeds last appearance here in
THE Politician was in the nature of an
ovation, and his approaching engagement
at the Grand will likely be marked by
repetition of the enthusiasm of last sea-
sons appearance.
