Notes and Comment.

Here is a new story about that popular
actor William Gillette. told by New York
writer on theatrical topics. and OF especial
interest TO Indianapolis theater-goers. as IL
concerns this city: I'm matter of dress Gil
lette is extremely careless. In the matter
of hats he is ludicrous. If anywhere in the
world there is a misshapen. antediluvian,
lop-sided headpiece. which Weber & Fields
would scorn for burlesque purposes, Gil
lette becomes its owner and fond admirer.
Some day he may invent hat to his liz
Ing, but meanwhile he seems bent on To-
eating an ideal among the old masters.
Once severely chided for particularly I'M
becoming piece OF headgear he had been
affecting the entire season. Gillette walked
into an Indianapolis hat store and pur-
chased a derby hat that was fashioned in
this generation. The effect was marvellous
into a cranial Berry Wall. When he en-
tered the dining room OF the Indianapolis
hotel that evening he deposited the new
hat in the rack outside. Upon Ills return
II was missing, and the thief had left In
its place an ante-bellum relic which would
have shamed a scarecrow. Gillette calmly
adjusted the substitute upon his head and
remarked: Well. there's no use I'm tempt
ing fate any further.''

suppositions are not correct. The Pope

Morgan the star of the company and are
sending him a tour in the much-dis-

Morgan, widely known as one of the best
of Americas younger actors, has scored his
most pronounced success. Sarah Truax, an
