Manager Miller. of English's Opera
House, has not had word from Detroit that
Miss Blanche Bates will not be able to play
the part of Cigarette in Under Two Flags"
in this city next week. Miss Bates was
taken to a hospital suffering with a fever,
but from the fact that he has not been no.
titled otherwise Mr.. Miller presumes that
her condition is not so serious that she cam
not come to Indianapolis. Miss Bates is
not known to most of the theatergoers
of this city, but the sale of seats for the
performances of Under Two Flags opened
briskly yesterday. Possibly IL was because
the play is known to be from one of Ouida'S
widely-read novels. The production is an
elaborate one, and Charles FrOhman's man
ager has notified Mr.. Miller that the prices
for the matinee next Wednesday must be
the same as the prices for the three night
nerformanceS.
