Washington's cautious criticism is evidence
that he was little acquainted with the thea

Observation-Disclosures I'm Repertory and
"a Yenuine YentIeman.v


1t has been a good many years since In
dianapolis last saw that famous romantic
French melodrama, "a Celebrated Case"
I'm which Edmund Collier achieved such
fame. Tomorrow at the Park Theater, both
matinee and evening, the Baldwin-Melville
Company will appear in "A Celebrated
Case for the only times during its three
days engagement in this city. Twenty
years ago "A Celebrated Case" ranked with
The Two Orphans" in point Of popular
favor. Its long runs in New York, Boston,
Chicago and other cities are well remem-
bered by older theater-goers, and the in
tense interest which attached to the play
as presented in those days was best evil
dence Of the fact that 1t was rated one of
the greatest money makers ever produced.
In the Baldwin, Melville Company will be
found W. J. Jossey. L. o. Hart. John r.
Cumpson. Wilson Day. Barry O'Neil, James
j, Walls, Joseph Dillon. Albert Wheeler.
Edna Earl L-ndon, Nellie Walters, Marie

named little artist has her opportunity on
Tuesday, when Little Lord Fauntleroy'
her in the title role. Since the days Of
Tommy Russell, Elsie Leslie, Gertrude Ho-
man and Gertrude Cooper in this most in
tereSting child character. no one ia said TO
have approached, in cleverness. Baby Va
vene who is with the Baldwin-Melville Com
pany: With more lines TO speak than even
Hamlet. so IL is said, this child manages not
alone TO memorize the part, but TO give IL
with all the artlessness 30 necessary TO the
successful portrayal of Mrs. Burnett's model
OF grammar and goodness. The manly little
character of Cedric Enrol is one which APP
peals TO children and grown people alike,
and the way he wins over the Earl of DORM
court, his proud old grandfather. 10 his
democratic ways and associates is one of
the numerous interesting features of the
play Little Lord Fauntleroy' will be
seen only at the Tuesday matinee and night
performances. On Wednesday the company
will. conclude its engagement with tie
Nights In a Barroom." This old-time play
mas not been put on here in years and its
revival next Wednesday is likely to prove
a popular move.

NV Greed.

I have no faith; but this one fact I find,
That love is growing lovelier every day;
What we call sin is what IL leaves behind,
What we call good attracts II on it's way.
I have no hope; with Gods love in my heart,
What is a selfish loss to care about?
If in the world I've played my little part,
Let him who lit the candle put it out.
1 have no creed but love; In there a hell
Where some poor tortured thing cries out in pain
Then let me take his hand and wish him well,
And wait until he finds his heaven again.

Mrs. Langtry's Coming Play.

LONDON. Aug. 19.-Theatrica1 interest
centers in Mr.. Hugo de Bathe's coming ven-
ture at the Haymarket 1heater. The mar
riage of Mrs. Langtry to Mr.. De Battle has
increased curiosity as TO the production. In
egard to dress, ful niture. ETC., it promises
to be one of the most elaborate and expen-
sive seen in London. while the company, in
Guiding as IL does, Charles Hawley and Lily
Hamburg, is engaged regardless of expense.
Mrs. DE Battle told a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press that the play will De the boldest
produced on the English stage for years.
She added: The scenic artist has repro
duced the drawing room at Newmarket
House. which / have just sold. All the
furniture, etc, Is from my London resi-
dence. The note OF the play dies in this
remark of mine in the third act: L ought

depicted some of the most interesting epi-
sodes in the former Mrs Langtry's life, es-
pecially touching upon the influence of her
daughter in the latter part of il. Lily
