young wife's wishes, falling utterly to see
that, on the contrary, she chafes under IT,
in fact. Frou Frou comes 70 look upon her
occupying her husbands spare time and
attention. Meanwhile. the comte de Val
reas, a friend OF the family, has fallen vio-
lently In love with Frou Frou, whose real
name is Gilberte, and during the progress
of some amateur theatricals presses his
suit with so much ardor that she Is made
aware CT his feelings. At first she is
shocked. but as the idea of her own neg
lected condition, which is largely imagin-
airy, grows. she comes TO regard De Valreas
as n sort of affinity, and the end of 1T all
IS an elopement which turns out unhappily
as such affairs always do-in plays, at
least.
There Is opportunity in this play for
much clever comedy at the outset, as well
as plenty of emotional work, which deepens
as the story unfolds, until at the close IL
las developed into fuli-fiedged emotional
drama There Is also great scope for hand
some stage settings and beautiful gowns.
Miss Shannon appears as Frou Frou or
Gilberte, character in which she has been
photographed for the souvenir distribution
tomorrow night. Miss Donioo will essay
he role of Louise; Mr.. Kolker that of De
Valreas. the lover; Mr. Macy that of Henri
Sartorys; Mr.. Sheldon will impersonate the
Baron de Cambri; Miss La Verne. tie bar

man impersoration, appearing as Brig
Frou Frou's father. The other members of
the company will be used in less important
parts.
There are five acts. three of which take
place In the Sartorys home In Parts, one
the other in the palace of the Barbarini,
at Venice.
There will be matinees, as usual We'd

Rays and
Players

Beginning tomorrow afternoon. at Eng
Iish's Opera House.1the people of Indian
apolIs are to be treated to their first view
OF the entire Jeffries-Sharkey pugilistic
contest. portrayed by series of moving
pictures thrown upon canvas from photo
graphic film over seven miles in length.
The taking Of these pictures at night by
electric light was one of the most extraor-
binary feats ever attempted by photog
rapher. Prior 70 the happening of this
event IL had been supposed TO be impos-
sible to take such pictures by artificial
light. except by the use OF condensing
lenses and perfect parabolic refiectors. the
cost OF which is practically prohibitive.
However. VIM. A. Brady and the Muto-
scope Company. who accomplished the I'M
dertaking. devised a system of grouping
the lights beneath ingeniously contrived
reiectors In such a way as TO overcome
that greatest OF all obstacles to artificial
light Observation-Disclosures. When Jeffries
and Sharkey faced each other in the roped
arena at the Coney Island Clubhouse to
contest for the heavyweight championship
of the world their heads were bathed in
a food of light amply sufficient to illum-
such glare of radiance did not mar the
spectacle for the audience, or hamper the
gladiators in their work. Is indisputable
testimony to the marvellous power OF the
human eye to adjust itself to almost any
degree OF illumination. Those who have
purchased spools Of Photographic film for
their kodaks will be able to realize some
thing of the enormous cost of the seven
and two-thirds miles of the material used
by the biograph company. Forty spools.
each containing 1.SS5 feet Of film. or enough
to run the cameras four minutes. were
consumed in securing views Of the entire
contest. The expense Of installation of the
system at the ringside. including arc lamps,
wiring of the same every lamp having its
Individual cut-out), expert reflector work
and carpentry, to say nothing of the diff
hcuity OF obtaining sufficient electric cur
rent to supply so many lights, would be
an effectual bar to frequent indulgence in
this method Of securing views OF a prize
fight. In the case OF the pictures to be
shown at English's this week about IS, 300
Is claimed to be the amount actually spent
on the lighting system during the two
hours run of the. fight.
These pictures. which are guaranteed to
be the ones originally obtained by Mr..
Brady and the Mutoscope Company, will be
exhibited twice daily tomorrow. Tuesday

When Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry
come to English's Opera House, Thursday
night of this week. to present their old ia
miliar matinee bill, THE Merchant of
Venice" IT Is extremely probable that the
fashionable set OF indianapolis will do as
they have always done before-pocket their
pride. put aside their resentment at his
shabby treatment OF them and turn out in
droves TO see the English actor who has
been elevated above his fellows by the pre-
fixing OF 'Sir" to his name. 1t is likely.
also, that Mr. Irving and the eminent ira
gedienne who has been SO long associated
with him will be greeted by large out
of-town contingent.
Mr.. Irving and Miss Terry were both
seriously iii last year. and 1t was feared
that the already greatly diminished num-
Der OF eminent actors OF the old school
would be further reduced. However, they
both regained their usual health and vigor.
and IL Is said that the performance Of 'The
Merchant Of Venice given by them this
season is fully equal to any of their pre-
vious efforts. Mr.. Irving's Shylock and
Miss Terry's Portia are too well known to
need any discussion or description at this
late day. They carry with them all the
paraphernalia necessary to complete and
satisfying production. 1t is claimed that
six carloads or scenery and accessories will
accompany Mr.. Irving and his organiza-
ton to this city, and that two of these car
loads will be employed in putting on 1.-THE
Merchant of Venice"
Besides Mr.. Irving and Miss Terry the
cast includes Mr.. Arthur Royston, Mr.. X.
=. Tabb, Mr.. Laurence Irving, Mr.. James
g. Hearn, Mr.. Charles Vane. Miss Cecil
Cromwell, Miss Maud Milton and number
OF others OF varying degrees Of prominence.
Mr. Magness. the advance agent of Charles
Frohman, who looks after Mr.. Irying's
American tour, gives the assurance that at
least eighty people will be on the stage at
different times during the progress Of the
play.
There is to be but the one performance.

morning. as does also the sale for the six
exhibitions of the prize-fight pictures.

"a MIX White Flag at Park.

Hoyt's famous satire on kid glove militia,
"A Milk White Flag" is coming to the
Park Tomorrow afternoon to remain three
days. This is its second tour of the country
at popular prices, IT having been seen at
the Park last season for the first time.
Patrons Of that house gave it the most en-
thusiastic reception accorded any amuse-
ment of the entire season. 1t is in fact as
bright and entertaining a comedy as one
might run across in a long time. The
story Of the piece is familiar. but 1t may be
Of interest to know that the claim is made
that the two rival military organizations.
"The Ransome Guards" and 1.-The Daily
Blues" burlesqued by Mr.. Hoyt in such
happy way, are patterned after two mill
tia companies in st. Adams, VT, where the
author was at one time employed on a daily
newspaper. The well-known love of hand
some uniforms that prevails among most
militia organizations, especially IN time of
Leace when there Is ample leisure to make
feminine hearts fiutter, affords large OPP
portunity for the costumer to furnish at
uactfve stage pictures in the play To
enhance the picturesque effect, Mr.. Hoyt
has made his comedy elastic enough to
allow the introduction of a host of pretty
girls, who are cast to represent vivandiers,
messenger boys, drum corps, standard
bearers, ETC., all attired in the SWEETEST and
which marches about the stage at spas
modic intervals, arrayed in tinsel and col
ors, adds greatly TO the hilarity producing
effect OF the entertainment
"A Milk White Flag Is a piece that re-
quires elaborate scenery and properties,
for the transportation of which 1t is said
an entire car is used. The costuming is
extensive and admits of some novel and
beautiful color effects. Mr.. Hoyt has re-
written his military farce to bring il
abreast of the times, and recent American
conflicts supply the material for number
of popular military songs and fancies.
Practically the same company of last
season presents "a Milk White Flag" at
this visit. John Marble stiii plays Phil
Graves, undertaken and lieutenant in the
Ransome Guards. in his own inimita BILE
style. He has played nothing else for six
or seven years. There is a new widow this
year In the person Of Cora Morlau, who
is said to be fully equal to Miss Dantes,
seen at the Park last season in the same
role. The abbreviated individual billed
merely as Little Chip is still playing
Gideon Foote, the only private in the Ran
some Guards. The Lawrence sisters re-
place the Grayson sisters this year in the
6ancing speciality with Little Chip, which
created such enthusiasm last season. "A
Milk White Flag continues twice daily un-

"The Sorrows of SATAN Thursday.

The play written from Marie Corellis
famous novel "The Sorrows of Satan," is
another of those productions which, by
lucky chance, the amusement-loving public
is permitted TO enjoy at popular prices. 1t
was originally arranged for the higher
price houses. but, owing to its tinge of
melodrama, had to be put into lower-price
theaters. 1.-THE Sorrows of Satan" is a
satire on the ways OF high society in Lon
don. Satan in the novel is not the tradi-
tional being OF that name, nor even related
to him in any way, but is instead a preach
er of righteousness. In the drama he is
named Prince Lucio Riminez and is a gen.
tleman of commanding presence, finished
manners and quiet dignity. The figure he
presents, with his crown of gray hair, is
noble one. Prince Riminez is sad over the
selfishness, the heartleSsness and false
pride OF men and women. The purpose of
the play is, not TO show how wicked a GER
tain more or less imaginary person may be,
but how far too many stray from sound
principles of thinking and living. The i'm
preston left by the play is saIutary A
company OF more than ordinary strength
will be seen in THE Sorrows of Satan"
and the mounting is said to be very hand
