Success of an indianapolis Girl.

Elsa Ryan, the little Indianapolis girl who
and musical comedy stage. is now appear
ing in New York with the big English COM
pany that is playing Three Little Maids
to crowded houses at Days Theater. The
New York Telegraph devotes page to the
clever little Hoosier girl in it's Sunday issue,
calling attention to the fact that she is the
only American in the entire cast Of the
latest London importation that has taken
the metropolis by storm. Miss Ryan, whose
only professional appearance in Indianapo-
lis was with Francis Wilson in The Tore
ador last spring, Is now playing the part
of Dutch tea girl in the English musical
comedy, and is credited with scoring one
of the pronounced hits of the piece. She
was engaged by Charles Frohman to take
the part when Madge Critchton, the English
soubrette who created 1T, became homesick
for London a fortnight ago and hurried
back across the ocean.
Miss Ryans debut on the stage was made
In THE Runaway Girl as chorus singer.
When Mabel Gilman gave up the title role.
little Miss Ryan was given a change to
appear in 1t for awhile. but she failed to
attract much attention, as she was still
somewhat amateurish. She next appeared
as the heroine of the melodrama, I'm Old
kentucky, and afterward went on a star
ring tour in the cheap-price theaters In a
blood-curdling play called Nevada" in
come to the rescue of the hero on an aver
age of three times to every act. She soon
tired of wasting her talents upon stuff of
this sort and secured an engagement with
Francis Wilson. But her real opportunity
seems to have just arrived in Three Little
Maids" and her many Indianapolis friends
will be delighted to learn of her great
success.

Theatrical Notes.

1.-THE Bonnie Brier Bush" with that ex-
cellent veteran actor, j. H. Stoddart, in
the leading role of Lachlan Campbell, will
be presented this evening at English's and
will be repeated tomorrow afternoon and
night. 1t is one of the prettiest plays on
the American stage, and as Mr.. Stoddart
is always careful to surround himself with
a good supporting company, ii is reasonably
sure 10 be as well acted as il was when
seen here last season. Reuben Fax. a
fine character comedian, is still playing
the part of "Postey" and supplies most
of the laughter that alternates with the
pathos of the play.
The comedy scene in ''The Girl with the
Green Eyes" which made the greatest hit
in New York, is the one that shows a party
of Cooks tourists in the Vatican at Rome.

The sale of seats for "A Chinese Honey

This club is the scene of the first act There
Charles Wadsworth, "a cool villain loved
by woman" meets Philip Pemberton and
worth sees that there is a GOODNESS between
Pemberton and his wife, and at once plans
to win Dorothy Pemberton away from her
husband, and thereby provide the way for
a life of luxury-with her money. The
second act, most of which takes place in
the Pemberton home develops the GOODNESS
between Pemberton and his wife TO an
eStrangement in which neither the man nor
his wife make much effort TO reconcile their
differences. Wadsworth stands in the re-
ception hall of the Pemberton home and
listens to- the quarrel between Pemberton
and his wife. Pembert4 asks his wife TO
explain the very frequent attentions she Is
receiving from Wadswerth. and Dorothy
says she has nothing TO explain. PefnDer-
ton then leaves the room Wadsworth
pushes back the curtains and asks Dorothy
TO accept his love. She tells him that she
Is that mans wife and that he has no
right to talk to her of love. Wadsworth
remains, however, and Dorothy finally tells
him that she loves him. The principal ac-
ton Of the fourth act is duel between
Pemberton and Wadsworth in cafe over
looking the Hudson, in which neither is
killed. The last act (after six months have
elapsed9, sees Pemberton and his wife re-
pent OF their folly, the rescue of Dorothy
from Wadsworths gambling house. where
he kept her a prisoner, and Pemberton and
wife reunited in front of.Trinity Church.
Miss Pearl Charlton Seward, as Dorothy
Pemberton, does her role really effectively.
Miss Florence Ashbrook, as Fiji Toilette.
French woman and WadSworth's mistress,
Is also an actress of considerable merit.
Miss Seward does not overdo her part, as is
frequently done in this sort of play, nor
does Miss Ashhrook overdo her part which
is far from an easy one. There is nothing
original in Richard Aliens acting as the
william Wadsworth. He is just the ordinary
villain in the society meiodrama Frank
Holland. as Philip Pemberton. is far from
effective. These the four principal roles.

Statesmen ut the Opera.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-President Roose-
welt and distinguished audience witnessed
FRITZ Scheff's debut in light opera at the
National Theater tonight, in the first per-
Torrance of "Babette," romantic comic
opera written for her by Victor Herbert
and Henry B. Smith. The President and
his party occupied two lower boxes those
accompanying him being Mrs. Roosevelt,
Justice and Mrs. Holmes, Senator Lodge.
Miss Alice Roosevelt, Senator and Mrs.
Plat of New York, and Postmaster General
Payne. Among those in the auditorium
were Senator Hanna, Attorney General
Knox, Representatives Alden, Smith, Goebel
and Babcock, Senior Delviso and General
Randolph. The new comic opera and the
star met popular approval. The music of
Mr.. Herbert Is tuneful and melodious, but
more imposing than that he has written
heretofore. The libretto tells love story
with an historical background in Belgium
and France in the seventeenth century.
FRITZ Scheff appears in three roles. the
first, that OF the letter writer of a village
near Brussels, then a strolling player
and in the last act as a staggering GAL
liant at the court or Versailles. The play
Is magnificently staged, and among the
members OF the large company producing
II are Eugene Cowles, Louis Harrison.
Josephine Bartlett and Ida Hawley.
