Mrs. Fislxe,s Repertory.

A convincing testimony to the abiding
power OF Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is
found in the fact that during both engage
ments of Mrs. Fiske in this great play in
New York there were scores of persons who
went again and again to witness it. They
seemed always to find new matter of inter-
est in the dramatic development Of the pow
erful Hardy story, and Mrs. Fiske's acting
appeared to thrill them after repeated study
Of 1t as at first. There were several blase
theater-goers who came in nightly, week
after week to witness the wonderful muir
der scene. The effect of this scene is all
the more marvellous because there is noth-
ing in it of the Observation-Disclosures sort that
melodramatically characterizes most murder
scenes ON the stage. Mrs. Fiske always in
this play inspires in the audience the tense
emotion which she so incomparably simu-
lates. Indianapolis will see Tess only
once during the approaching engagement
of Mrs. Fiske at the Grand. She will open
at the Grand Tuesday night, Nov y, in
Love Finds the " ay" and "A Bit of Old
Chelsea AT the Wednesday matinee she
will appear in Tess of the D'Urbervilles,
and the engagement will close Wednesday
with another double bill. "Divorcons" and
Little Italy" Next week will be varied

offered by Mrs. Fiske and 1.-THE Idler"
played by the stock company.
