A good sized audience greeted the Dewey
Theater Extravaganza Company at the
Empire Theater yesterday afternoon ana
the audience was rewarded by a good
performance. The company presents an
olio containing some clever acts and bur-
lesque at the close. which is full of music,
comedians and dashing young women. In
the burlesque Miss Toma Hanlon, who has
a fine Soprano voice, is the chief per-
former. The burlesque is entitled ''Davids
Harem" In the olio one of the best fea-
lures is the military drill by sixteen women
who are called Les Belle Zouaves on the
programme. They give an imitation of the
troops storming the fort of Tien-Tsiu,
China. which was vociferously applauded.
The young women are we'll drilled and
make a fine appearance. Another attractive
feature OF the programme is the dancing of
La Fa Falla. called Vision of Light and
Beauty. Weston and Yost. comedians,
have some new sayings and dOings and
Quigley Brothers are on the programme
with their original sketch, THE Toll Gate"
Jordan and Welch have an act in which
they cleverly portray eccentric Hebrew
character. Other good features arr the
two Lavines. acrobatic comedy sketch ar
fists, ard Miss Lottie Fremont in a roper
tory of popular songs. The company wilt
be here all week with daily matinees.

The work of the stock company at the
Grand in this weeks bill-"Sweet Laven-
der''-cannot be praised too highly. In no
former play this season has the whole cast
been so uniformly good. Miss Izett, in the
role Of Lavender, is deserving of especial
commentator for her charming character
ization of the part. Her easy and natural
poses, the charming rendition of her lines
and her graceful manners were revela-
ton to the audience. In Miss lett the
company has an ideal ingenue IL she be
given the role Miss Linthicum, Miss
Gilfilian, deserved the applause which was
so frequently accorded her, but while she
played the part well. her admirers prefer
to see her in more serious role in which
she excels. Miss Maynard was perfectly at
home I'm the part of Mrs Gilillfan. and
she, with Mr.. Everham in the part of Dick
Phenyl the barrister, whose one fault is
an occasional tipple. succeed in effacing
the pathos of the piece. which brings at
times, unconsciously. the tears to the eyes
of the emotionally inclined. Godfrey We'd
derburn, banker, as portrayed by Mr..
Kirkland, while one of the shortest roles
of the play. is at the same time one of the
strongest characters, and MIR. Kirkland fits
the character as we'll as any other he has
presented this season. Mr. Denithorne. as
Clement Hale, the adopted son of Godfrey
Weddcrburn, who is in love with Lavender
and weds her in spite of all difficulties, is
exceptionally good. At times there is an
affectation in his voice which for the nonce
detracts from the manliness of the char
acter, but he succeeds in effacing this i'm
preston by an excellent characterization
in the last act. Mr. Reynolds. in the role
of Horace Beam. a young American in love
with Miss Gilfillian, was up to his usual
standard of excellence, and was warmly
applauded by the audience.

Miss Held. He Is absent from the stage
but a few minutes throughout the per-

grows wearisome in the least. He more
than defends his right To the title OF the
greatest eccentric comedian on the Amer

multifarious changes OF facial expression

continuously would drive an expert

production brilliantly successful.

One more opportunity remains to see

last time tonight

SIZE OF THE GAS SUPPLY
1T WILL BE INVESTIGATED by THE
COUNCIL COMMITTEE.
The City Dads Will Also Take Peep
at Consumers BOOks-Steam
Heating Franchise.

The special committee appointed by the
City Council to investigate the books OF
the Consumers Trust Company held
meeting last night and decided to begin
the investigation on Friday night of thi;
week. The committee is composed Of Con
rad Keller. chairman; James Moriarity.
James r. Monroe, James Billingsly and
Samuel V. Perrott. This committee was
appointed in accordance with resolution
introduced in the Council by Mr.. Moriarity
The resolution averred that as the COM
pany's articles of association provide tina
as soon as the stockholders have been paid
the amount of stock held, together with
per cent interest, gas shall be furnishe,
to consumers at cost. The resolution
serted that the stock and interest had
either been paid off or that the company
has sufficient available cash hand ts
settle with stockholders not already paid
On Friday night the committee will visit
the gas comnany's office and ascertain
just how much of a job it will be to go
over the companys books. Some members
of the committee are in favor of asking
Controller Johnson to employ an expert to
examine the books. No request of this kind
will be made until the committee has
looked over the ground. 1t is very probable
that the committee will make its own ex-
animation of the companys books. The gas
company has expressed perfect willing
ness for the committee to look at it's
books but has requested that no publica-
ton be made of it's leases or of the names
of its stockholders. In this particular the
committee will respect the company's
wishes.
Councilman Moriarity made the state
ment last night that the gas company was
furnishing gas to Chicago and furnishing
plenty of ii. Some of the committee doubt
ed If the company was supplying Chicago
people with gas. but 1T was the opinion that
the report ought to be investigated. The
committee will also investigate the COM
pany's ability to furnish gas to all who
apply for it.

The Behman Show, which made a hit at
the Park last season, returned to that
house yesterday for a weeks engagement
and incidentally set new mark for vaude-
Vile merit. No better speciality organi-
ization has Indianapolis on its visiting

blindfolded John Kernel, the Irish mon
Ologuist, and the Olympia quartet add
nothing TO the programme, except perhaps
10 cause the rest of the turns TO shine

There is likelihood of the street-car CON-
pany building cross-town lines on Six
teenth street on the north and South street
on the south between White river and a
line drawn north and south at a point near
Irvington. Ii has been rumored for some
time that the citizens in the territory ont
lined were drawing UP petition to sub
nit TO the Board of Works. The officials
OF the company, who as yet have not de-
cided on any definite action, seem pleased
with the movement. as IL will relieve a
great deal of the congestion at the Wash
ington-street Junction. The company has
put engineers at work on the proposed i'm
movement of the Broad Ripnle line
