WOMAN'S VOICE CHARMS
BIG CROWD AT FAIR BANK TO HEAR
JESSIE BARTLETT DAVIS.
She Had to Respond to Several En-
cOres-COncerts by Weber's
Band ut Fairview.

The popularity Of Jessie Bartlett Davis
with indianapolis audiences was displayed
to even a greater extent at Fair Bank last
evening than on the opening night of her
engagement. Every seat in the park was
occupied and the driveways were crowded
with people when the artist appeared. The
lighting arrangements had been improved
and her gorgeous gowns and wonderful
expression could be distinctly seen by those
in the last rows of seats. Her voice, too,
possessed the same richness of tone and
volume that won for her the admiration of
theatergoers of this as we'll as other cities.
Persons on the outside of the park could
distinctly hear her sing. so powerful and
clear was her voice.
The applause caused the singer to re-
spond several times. The first three songs
did not satisfy the crowd. The fourth song
was "Oh, Promise Me-" a ballad that has
been so long connected with her name.
1t was in this song that her voice. well
modulated, so full of expression and sweet
ness. seemed fairly to captivate the crowd.
There was slight lull after the last words
had been sung and then the crowd broke
forth in a storm of applause, causing her
to answer to many encores.
She said after leaving the stage last night
Monday evening. Her voice last evening
could not have been clearer or more beau
tiful. She is delighted with Fair Bank.
and says IL is the most beautiful place she
has ever seen. She said if Chicago had
such a park it would be crowded all the
time.
The concert by Ostendorf's band was one
of the best that has been given, several Sc
lectiOns by Victor Herbert being among the
numbers. The church chimes won great
applause, as did several of the overtures.
In addition to other songs Mrs. Davis will
song oh, Promise Me" again tonight and
the rest of the week, there have been
many requests for her TO sing this favor
lite ballad each evening. The programme
for tonight includes many of Sousa 5
