The Bill at the Unique.

Amateur night at the Unique Theater
proved a success again last night The
cozy little theater was crowded to its full
capacity at each of the three shows and
the bill rendered by the amateurs and pro-
fessionals was an exceptionally good one.
Will Schultz. in a bag punching act, opened
the amateur end of the programme.
Schultz showed great skill and was well
received. Charles Middaugh followed with
a rendition of when L Think of You"
Middaugh has a clear baritone voice, and
scored hit with the patrons of the Unique.
The Melrose quartet, composed OF Harry
Faulkner, Walter Carr. Otto Freitsche and
Carl Healing were next on the bill and
pleased the crowd. They responded to two
encores and made good in every sense of
the word. Kid Carson, as an Irish come
dian, was good, as was little Benny Ol1ver
in black-face turn. The Hartford
brothers tried a turn in black face, but for
got their lines and left the stage with their
act half finished. Dainty Grace Morrison
opened the professional bill. Miss Morri-
son has clear, sweet voice and her dane
ing is excellent. Sanford and NARROW and
Howard and Cook follow in acrobatic and
musical acts and easily make good. Miss
Edythe Shaw in renditions of classical mu-
sic completes the professional bill. Each
performance Is closed with new set OF
moving pictures.

Indianapolis will be given its first and
only opportunity this season to witness n
performance OF Tolstois Resurrection"
next Thursday night. The great drama
comes for an engagement of but a single
performance. The play has proved an
epoch-making one and during its long run
in New York last season and it's recent
very successful Chicago was hailed
one of the greatest dramas of modern
times. Blanche Walsh, whose fame as a
powerful emotional actress has been
tablished by this drama, has been placed
by many critics in a class with Bernhardt
and Duse. Resurrection is not a play
which will appeal to those theatergoers
seeking trivial amusement, but play
which will make one think. 1t will be pre-
scented i'm this city by the original COM
pany and with the complete scenic pro-
duction as given during its four months
