ADJUSTMENTS.

The appearance at the concerts here to-
morrow, matinee and night, at Tomlinson
Hall of the celebrated piano virtuoso, Nine.
Rive-King, with Anton Seidls famous or
chestra, will be a revelation to our music
circles. Although Paderewski Greenfield
and others have attracted great attention
recently this great artist has fully proven
that she need have no fear of having her
talents compared to theirs. Her magnetic
touch, her superb technique and magnificent
interpretations of the most difficult master
pieces will be a panistic performance that
is sure TO win unstnted applause. With Mr..
lovers here will be treated to music not
often heard in this city The programmes
for the concerts are entirely dinerent and
Tomlinson Hall should be filled on both oc-
casions.
Any OF the fair sex who desire to behold
a pugilistic champion will have an oppor-
tunity at Fitzsimmons's matinee at the
Grand this afternoon.
The spectacular production of Faust is
playing to standing room at the Park and
the advance sale for the rest of the week
is large.
Robert Downing's Company, which opens
at the Grand Friday night in 1.-THE Gladia-
tor has for its leading lady Adelaide Fitz
Alien, who has supported keene, young
Alexander Salvini and other prominent
stars.
The great diversity of music that the ia
nous Seidl Orchestra is capable OF render
ing is perhaps unequaled by any other in
this country. Wagner's famous musical
dramas are of course favorites of Seidl, but
1t is with equal facility that he brings forth
the power and abandon of his brilliant must
clans in the severely claSsicl works OF Bach,
Handel and Beethoven the romantic styles
of Chopin and Schumann and the sensation
al inspirations Of Liszt and his followers
The contrast In selections can be appre-
ciated only by hearing Them
The valgarity which marked the first per-
Torrance Monday OF Flynn & Sheridan's
show at the Empire has been largely elm
mated, and the company has settled down
to a steady weeks business
EngIish's TheateR Messenger Service.
The new Englishs Opera House manage
ment is inaugurating a messenger service
for the delivery Of theater tickets which is
a new feature in Indianapolis and one that
promises to become popular. Charts Of the
new opera house have been prepared for
free distribution; they can be had for the
asking at the theater. 1t is the desire of
the management that they be placed in
every office, business house and residence
in the city. They are so printed and on
such material as to be substantial and
easily preserved. The chart has each seat
numbered plainly. and any patron of a
given attraction can select his seats with
out going to the theater. This will be APP
preciated, not only by the business men,
who would like to go to the theater but
have not time to go ana secure seats, but
by the ladies, who, by this scheme, are
saved an extra trip down town. One has
only to call up the box office by telephone
and give the seats desired, as indicated by
numbers on the chart. AT the box Office
the purchasers address is taken and i'm
mediately one of the messengers of the the
ater'S private corps viii start with the
tickets, collecting for them on delivery.
While theater messenger service will be
new in this city 1t is no experiment on the
part of the new management OF Englishs.
1t has been in successful operation at the
other theaters on the Valentine circuit of
which English's is now a part. The mes
sengers will all be handsomely uniformed,
equipped with bicycles, and delivery will be
made to any part of the city. This plan
cannot be put into operation at the sale
for the opening night for the reason that
the charts will not have been distributed
by that time.
The advance sale of seats for the OPEN
Ing next Monday night when Jack and
the BeanStalk will be presented, will
commence tomorrow morning at o'clock
at the theater. Everything is in readiness
and the sale promises to be large.
