At the Empire Theater.

Those who wish TO enjoy good hearty
laugh should not fail to visit the Empire
this week. Bisselrs Fads and Foiiies Bur-
lesquers come to the Empire Theater the
first three days Of the current week. and
will present "Fads and Follies," bright
musical burIesque, which has been entirely
rewritten since last presented In this city,
IL is handsomely staged. and is presented
by company of carefully selected players.
and the entire performance is claimed 20
be free from vulgarity- OF course. there
is host of pretty girls, but no company
presenting this style OF entertainment Is
complete without that adjunct. In addi-
ton TO 'FadS and Follies" an opening bur-
lesque, entitled Tim Sullivan's Chowder,"
will be presented, which introduces the pop
ular comedian, James +. Leonard, who
plays the leading comedy role. Inere Is an
olio of high-class vaudeville acts, intro
ducing such well-known and popular play
ers Shattuck and Bernard, Barry G.
Thompson and Annie Carter, the three mu-
steal clowns, Bimm, BONN and B'rrr;
Bennett and Rich, song illustrators, and
the Brannigans. The two burlesques are
staged with special scenic and electrical
effects, and the costumes are rich in tex
ture and design.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-02-17

For some years now a phrase has been
going the rounds OF afternoon teas, and even
of functions where the conversation is seri-
Gus. How strange" runs the phrase. 'fs
this new custom of turning popular stories
into plays!" New custom? Might one not
ask, what about Monte Cristo," for ex-
ample-the Monte Cristo'' that Charles
Fechter took from Dumas, and through II
made a worldwide reputation for himself
and his successor, James O'Neill. New
and strange" are treacherous words, ever
ready to betray him who deals carelessly
with them. Particularly untrustworthy are
they in combination with a statement about
the customs Of a generation. Ever since
the drama began, stories dear TO the people
have been given semblance of life upon the
stage.
There have been periods when more plays
not based upon books were written than
are written to-day. But there never has
been a period when popular stories were
not dramatized. OF all dramatized novels
the Fechter version of Monte Cristo" has
the largest lease of life. Fechter used it
ten years, and Mr.. O'Neill is still using it,
after decade of success.

In THE MUSICAL WORLD
sEMBRICH GRAND OPERA COMPANY
TOMORROW NIGHT.
"Don PasquaIe- VIII BE Given at
Engiish's- Local and General
Musical Notes.

The appearance of Mime. Marcella Sem
brich, the celebrated colorature soprano, at
English's Opera House tomorrow night in
Donizetus brilliant opera, Don Pasquale."
Is looked upon locally as a distinct musical
event. Nine. Sembrichs great success with
the Grau Opera Company last year and her
more recent triumphs abroad have placed
her in the forefront among the singers of
the world. Her supporting company in
Don Pasquale" is especially strong, con-
ssting, for the most part, of the famous
artists who sang with her in Berlin the
leading tenor will be Lara, who has sung
With marked success in all or the ltahan
opera houses. The first baritone is Signor
Bensuade, who recently scored such tri-
umph at the Covent Garden in LONDON, ana
who will be recalled as the leading bari-
tone of the DamroSch opera company dur
ing its last season. Other prominent ar
lists who will be with Nine. Sembrich are
Galazzi, second baritone; Rossi. bass buffo;
Bevignani, conductor. The orchestra IL
large and perfect, composed. it is asserted.
principally of members of Mr.. Walter Dam
roschs orchestra.
Donizetti's humorous and melodious OPP
era, Don Pasquale,'' was sung in New
York as early as 1916. 1t was fixture in
the repertory at the Academy of Music in
the early sixties, in the days of Kellogg
and Brignoli. Norma is a role in this
merry opera which is peculiar to Nine.
Sembrich and in ii she has met with great
success in the large cities of the East Sig
nor Bensuade will have the role of Dottore
Malatesta, Signor Rossi will be the Don
Pasquale, Galazzi will sing Notaro. and
Ernesto. Signor Bevignani will do the con-
Quoting in person.

Gus HIPS Royal LilIiputians.

Gus Hills big company, travelling under
the name Of the Royal Lilliputians, has
been secured for the Park Theater for the
last three days OF the current week. The
little people are presenting this season a
new farce called 1.-THE Merry Tramps," and
il is said TO be fully equal to anything they
have previously shown in the higher-priced
houses. This will be the first opportunity
TO see the Lilliputians at popular prices in
this city. The company is not made up
entirely of understood actors, but there
are quite number of excellent players of
a larger growth. Franz Ebert, who has
a highly uproarious tipsy scene. and Major
Doyle, who handles the part of the breezy
Irishman, are the central figures Other
members of the company are Louis Mer-
KEEL, VIII Archie, Joseph Mack, Joseph AL
gere, Casper Weis, Bertha and Liela Can't
ma and Elise Ebert. The piece is said to
fairly sparkle with fascinating dances,
catchy songs and witty repartee. That the
scenic part will be well worth seeing is not
to be doubted, in view of previous produc-
tons bearing Gus Hills name that have
appeared here.
