by the reports from various points of
events portending Ruso-Japanese war.
Most OF these reports on investigation
prove to be unfounded. The opinion

supposed that some of them are cruis-

MRS. CAMPBELL'S CAREER
SOMETHING OF INTEREST ABOUT
THE FAMOUS ENGLISH ACTRESS.
Her Daring i'm Producing Untried
Works by Unknown Authors
Sketch Of Her Life.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell. who will be seen
again in Indianapolis this week. is one OF
the most interesting and original women in
theatrical life. In something less than ten
years Mrs. Campbell has produced the first
plays of not less than four unknown drama
lists. and this i'm the face of the sage add
vice from the theatrical wiseacres and the
friendly warning of her many admirers
and well-wishers. Her first venture on the
precarious ground of unrecognized genius
was the production of "A play of Indian life
by Charles Murray. of London. called
"Carlyon Sahih." This was in 1895. The
piece scored at the Kensington Theater in
London and afterward toured the provinces
with profit
Being vindicated thus at the outset in her
daring policy Mrs Campbell made known
her willingness TO consider the work OF in
cipient dramatists, and from the innumer-
able manuscripts submitted to her within
the next two years found, as she expressed
it. several diamonds in the mud. Among
these were 'Lizzie's Baby a one-act cur

ventures being highly successful, and she
moved up a step in public estimation ac-

that elementary problems of humanity were
not affected by mere incidentals OF time or

'Magda." At the matinee performance
Mrs. Campbell will again appear in Pinero's
''The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," her great
success of last season.
1.-The Joy Of Living" by the great German
realist, created a tremendous sensation
abroad when it was first produced In Berlin
little over a year ago, and it is credited
with being the most wonderful work that
has ever come from Mr.. Sudermann's mas
terry pen. Its production by Mrs. Campbell
was its first presentation in the English
language. II treats of vital social topic
in a most profound and dignified way and
is written with most impressive spirit. in
cisive force and with great dramatic in
tensity. The play Is in five acts and the ac-
ton takes place among the nobility and in
high official circles in Germany. II declares
for the sanctity of the home and for the
undying principle that the expiation of sin
IS death.
The story of the play. briefly told. is as
follows: The heroine. the Countess Beata,
Is apparently happily married to the Count
Michael, plain man, but an affectionate,
tndulge,st. though unromantic husband. Fiji
teen years prior to the opening of the play
she has met Baron Richard. friend of her
husband. They fall in love. but through a
serious consideration for family ties they
break of their attachment and association
and from ell outward circumstances they
are merely close friends but the spirit of
love still exists between them. Through
