ADJUSTMENTS.
Observation-Disclosures,

Theater-goers owe much gratitude to
Fanny Davenport for the lavish and faith
full revival of her famous pictorial, Irving
defying production of CLEOPATRA" Had her
recently lamented joan been a success,
1t could hardly have rivaled the reception
given to the picturesque Sardou play by an
audience that almost filled Englishs Opera
House last night. Miss Davenport appeared
as the same luxuriant pearly-armed beauty
of old. dazzling the eye with her Jewels
and costumes. dominating the scene in the
pictured temple of Isis with her regal beau
ty, and instilling into every virile act a pull
sating. feshly warmth with her simulated
passion. She came nearer than ever, if
possible. giving a proper portrayal of the
Egyptian sorceress. How much of this
success may be due to the limited art of
Miss Davenport and how much to the gor-
geous environment of the play, the extraor-
binary scenic display. the beautiful effect
I'm colored lights on the costly costumes and
wealth of properties, the armored soldiers
and the many attendants is a matter for, te-
dious analysis, and is not at all essential
10 know. Davenport not only charmed, but
thrilled the big audience until curtain calls
became too numerous to count No one
blamed the nozzle Mark Antony for throw
ing away great political future to join the
Egyptian queen In fact, he won
more applause for deserving his fair
Octavia than he would have re-
ceived for a victory over the forces of Oc-
tayius. The personality of Melbourne Mac
Dowell may have had much to do with his
success, for the. audience clearly recognized
that he represented exactly what the doc
tors might have prescribed for Cleopatra,
and no one was willing TO deny
the amorous queen her lightest wish.
If Fanny Davenport DE really personally re-
sponsible for the efficient stagecraft every
where evident III her production, the Amer
lean stage has cause be proud of her
genius. The six acts of Cleopatra are
works OF art, not only in their scenic excel
lence, but in the grouping of figures, the
wise selection of lights, the countless items
of stage business, great portion of which
is always lost on even the most intelligent
audiences, but the lack of which would de-
tract from the perfection Of the play and
be missed If ii We're omitted. There was
some foolish interference with back cur
tains last night that destroyed the Illusion
at times and should not be repeated The
only changes from the original production
seen only once in this city, are in the ma
ture of improvements. There seems to have
been q closer knitting OF the action in
places and, on the whole. the performance

ParIx-"Finntean,s Fortune."

'Finnigan's Fortune as played by the
Peters & Green Comedy Company at the
Park yesterday, is one offthe best bills seen
there recently. This company came here
modestly, making no especial pretensions to
greatness, but the large audiences at the
Park yesterday quickly recognized the
cleverness of the performance Phil Peters
as Dutch Jake, has a part well suited to
his comedy talent. Mr. Peters is artistic,
and his speciality in the third act, in which
he is assisted by his wife, is especially
good. James F.. Green has the Irish part
of Larry Finnigan, and he and Peters make
great team. The company is one of the
best singing ones that has visited the Park
The specialties are numerous. The Acme
Quartet introduces some singing of COM
edy character; the De Ives Sisters do an
eccentric buck and wing dance, as well as
a fancy dance; Billy Taylor has a charac-
ter song, in fact several of them; Lillian
Durham gives some operate selections with
remarkable sweetness, and Verne c. Arm
strong has a monologue. The sensational
dancer, Repita, appeared in the third act
and made a hit. Besides all these special
ties there are medleys and dances by the
company, and the three acts of 'F1nnlgan
Fortune tell very funny story. This play
will be repeated to-day at both perform
ances. Tomorrow the bill will be changed
to AN Easy Place. in which entirely Diff
ferent specalties are introduced. On Thurs

Empire-s.Gny Masqueraders.

There are two changes in the olio OF the
Gay Masqueraders Company which began
a three days return engagement at the En-
pire yesterday afternoon. One was the
living song sheet chorus to Miss Rita
Durands negro song, which proved to be a
fake" the living notes in the sheet of mu-
sic being represented by negro masks; the
other addition to the company, Sparrow, &C.
centric juggler, was the best performer In
the list His juggling was good and new,
with just a sufficient proportion of comedy
work intermiXed. The rest of the olio in
cluded the Clark Sisters, dancers; Baker
and Lynn, German comedians Lorenzo and
Allen, in their skillful dancing turn; Brown
and Camille, cornet and eornophone duet,
and Al H. Weston, vocalist. Mr.. Weston
brought out q new song on the sinking Of
the Maine, which received earnest applause
for avowing an intention to wipe the Span
iards from the sea, Notwithstanding the
fact that words were set to the tune of
The Banks of the Wabash" about the
most inappropriate tune imaginable for a
song breathing bloody war. Miss Pauline
Mayhem did some pretty bag punching in
the closing burlesque On the bill of the
afterpiece appeared the very strong sis
ters," "obstracted from England by the
Queen for flirting with the Prince" Harry
W. Semons Extravaganza Company will be
the bill for the latter half of the week.

English under the auspices of the Marion
County Prohibition League. There were
about hundred members of the party
present and they evinced much interest in
their work. The programme consisted of
music and songs, including Rotations by
Billy Seymour, followed by half hour
address on the subject OF Tactics by
l.. Q. Crist, state chairman. Mr.. Crist said
that the p y was having a strong, If not
rapid growth. and found much for con-
graduation in the fact that the churches
were opening their doors to the advocates
of prohibition. He said that the battle was
not against the saloon but against the
law that gives the saloon its license. He
was in favor of the government going out
of the liquor business, and while such
doctrine If preached by the Prohibitionists,
would lay them open to the charge of be-
ing in favor Of free whisky, still he ia
yored It. thinking that it would tend to
divide the enemy.

TWO CROOKS BREAK JAIL
VAN TASSEL AND GORHAM WOUNDED
By MARTINsvILLE OFFICERS.
They Had Escaped to MOOresviIle, and
Were Recaptred After Fight
Both Shot.

Guy Van Tassel, crook. of this city, who
achieved some notoriety by having his name
connected with TIE murder of Mrs w. E.
Hinshaw, at Danvilie, in the stories told by
his pal, Noah Baney, added something to his
reputation as a dangerous man by breaking
Jail at Martinsville yesterday afternoon
With him escaped Herbert Gorham. Both
were convicted by the Morgan county court,
last week, of the robbery Of the Hicks fam
lily, residing near Monrovia.
A posse of deputy sheriffs started after
the fugitive prisoners soon as their es-
cape was discovered The crooks went
toward Mooresville. There they were over
taken by the posse on a bridge and showed
fight. Several shots were fired and reports
of the ARRAY indicate that Van Tassel re-
ceived a wound in the ear that caused him
to stagger off the bridge. In the fall his arm
was broken. Gorham received wound in
the left side that may prove dangerous. AT
1890 a. m. it was reported that both men
were being held at Mooresville until means
of returning them to Martinsville could be
procured, unless arrangements could be
made to take them directly to the Indiana
Reformatory at Jeffersonviile. The sheriff
and his deputies would be glad to get the
men lodged in the state bastile as soon as
possible.
Information as to how Van Tassel and
Gorham escaped is meager. They succeeded
in saving off two or three bars of their cell
and escaping at favorable moment
through an opening eleven inches square.
AS they were enabled to arm themselves it
is believed that some of their confederates
aided them to get away.
Van Tassel and Gorham were arrested and
held here by the police until they were iden-
titled as the participants in the Hicks rob-
berry. 1t will be remembered that John Fer
ritter, the murderer of Patrolman Ware, was
confined at the Martinsville Jail during his
trial at that place The police are con-
graduating themselves that he was care
fully guarded while there on change of
venue else he, too, might have escaped.

If anything. is more satisfactory than for
merly. With few exceptions the company
is strong. There are only three principal
characters. and these are in the hands of
Miss Davenport. Mr.. Mcdowell and Henry
Jewett, a most capable trio. Mcdowell
has seldom shown more convincing or more
artistic methods. His Mark Antony is all
satisfying. Jewetts excellence as Cleo
patra's slave, Kephren, was instantly rec
ognized. The character is made to stand
out as one cannot remember having seen
it before. Although a slave, Kephren rep
resents all that story has pictured him.
Under his bronzed Egyptian color he shows
the blood of some naughty savage poten-
tate. and undoubtedly adds no little strength
to the production. A weil-drilled chorus IN
the Temple of Isis act lends a color or SUI
perstiti6n to the sentiment of the play and
prepares the audience for the illusion when
the Egyptian gods intervene in the great
storm scene, that is powerfully handled
