Walter Besant's Tribute to America

Sir Walter Besant the eminent Eng
llsh novelist, said, when he went back
to England after a visit here, that moth
ing he saw in America impressed him
SO deeply as the devotion of our young
people to their flag; that now here ex
cept among British soldiers had he seen
such affection and respect for national
emblem. and that nation which as
whole felt as we seemed to feel about
our colors from the time we left our
mothers knees, was one that could
withstand thewhole world in arms

| Thomas w. Keene, the tragedian, returns
| to Indianapolis this week, appearing at
English's Opera House in q repertory Of
| high-class dramatic productions. The the
ater-going public always looks to Mr..
| keene for a certain style of dramatic
work, and in his own particular line he
has no rival. Thomas w. Keene is two
| years younger than Henry Irving and
about the last great actor of the old school
now left in this country. His engagement
here is likely to create no little interest
For Monday night he has selected his great
production of Louis XII and he is the
only actor of any prominence on the Amer
lean or foreign stage playing the role Of
Louis to-day. 1t is said he has embellished
the great play with a scenic investiture
surprising anything ever attempted This
is conceded to be Mr.. Keene's greatest
work. The story of the play deals with
the history of France in the early part of
the fifteenth century. 1t is dramatization
of Sir Walter Scott's novel, Quentin Dur

by the late Arden Smith and Edwin Arden

Here is a character in which Mr.. Keene is
said to challenge comparison with any of
the numerous Shylocks. On Wednesday
night he will put on his new scenic produc-
ton of Julius Caesar" one of Shak-
speare's masterpiece that is so seldom
seen in these days as to be an absolute nov
city. In this Mr.. Keene will play Marc

peculiarly fitted to his genius. The roper
and a dramatic treat is in store for the
lovers of the legitimate. Mr.. keene S sup

ParIx-Katie Emmett.

Merry Katie Emmett in her greatest sue
cess, THE Waits of New York" will be
the attraction at the Park Theater the first
half of this week. Since here last Tine
Waits of New York. has been revised and
greatly improved and, as now presented, is
sail to be far superior to any of the
comedies dealing with life in the great me-
tropolis. Miss Emmett portrays the charac-
ter of ragged newsboy, poor but honest,
upright and heroic, whose one aim in life is
to do good to assist the weak and defend
the helpless. Her play is familiar to the
patrons of the Park, where she has al
ways proved a favorite. She believes In
surrounding herself with a good company
and each member of the cast has been Sc
lected with a view to making the produc-
ton a success. A portion of the plot has
been laid in a New York concert hall to
permit the introduction of number or
specialties. Prominent among the people
engaged for this feature of the performance
median, whose wit and songs keep the audi
ence continually amused; Jennie Engle, one
of Tony Pastors favorite cards, and little
Josephine, whose work invariably captl-
Yates her hearers. Miss Emmett will also
introduce budget of the latest popular
songs. Particular attention has been paid
to stage environments and some fine views
are shown of points of interest in New
York, notably City Hall Park. the Harlem
dives the Tombs Police Court and Para
disc alley.
One of the most successful farce-comedy
productions of the present season in the
popular priced houses is "McFadden's Row
of Flats written by f. w. Townsend,
author of "Chmmie Fadden," which comes
to the Park the last half of the week. Gus
Hill, who put the production out. is said to
have spared no expense in properly equip
ping the comedy and selected cast capa-
BILE in every way to contribute the different
specialties which add to the action and hui
NOR OF the entertainment. Among the peo-
pie are Charles Loder, German comedian;
Richard Mullen, the eccentric Irishman,
who may be seen in everyday life at the
Five Points, New York city, where the first
act of the comedy takes place; pretty Es-
telle Wellington, Lizzie Conway and host
of other clever girls all of whom make up
a strong organization. Among the novelties
are the Speck brothers, the boxing midgets,
the most unique act of it's kind in existence:
the four emperorS of music in their original
musical act; the Little German Band which
| is said to be funnier than anything; the six
! Harrison Sisters. in Swiss warbling, and
| other decided novelties The story of the
play is full of intricacies and humorous in
| cidents. The mounting of this production
is an especially strong feature. New Years
| seats are now on sale.

Midnight: A Rebuke for the Decadents

The poet sat him down and wrote. 1t was mid
night. and the spell of the hour was upon him.
He wretched, mood in which poets often
find themselves lin books and in the popular be-
lieO, and he indited lines to the time and place
AS he sat in his little room. freess Though there
was no excuse for the latter fact beyond that he
was poeD, he shvered, and when he took his
stumpy lead pencil in his hand he wrote:
Midnight, and / alone
With my thoughts that seethe and rage,
While my prisoned heart tries hard to break
The bars of its fragile cage.
Midnight, and a dappled sky
Like field of melting snow,
With here and there a mist-veiled star
AS the cloud-wreaths come and 90.
Midnight and the mst-clouds fly
Away from the north-wind's breath;
And the touch of the darkness falls chill
AS the icy hand of death.
Midnight and my feeble moan
Is heard by none but me;
The sky, with it's clouds and stars, Is cola
AS winter sky can be.
He going tc write more but the paroxysm
of wretchedness into which he had worked him
self made it impossible. Then, by some strange
whim he turned to a sober. sensible letter he
had received from his father some days before.
There was not a touch of sentiment in it from
start to finish. and it bore a message from his
mother, warning him with motherly solicitude to
take care of himself and not to expose himself un-
duly. After reading this. somehow the boy had
returned to his senses and instead of a base man
he was a cold youth in cold room against his
mothers wishes. He got UP and looked at the
thermometer The mercury at 50. He felt q
lucid interval coming and his head swan. Sez-
ing chair for support. he steadied himself fol
a moment, and then sat down and finished his
poem, follows:
Midnight. and I am a fool
For writing such stuff this;
Midnight, and cold that would send me hence
Would be hailed by the world as bliss.
