The Holden Stock Company will bring
the Parks regular season 10 a close with
the two performances to-day of THE Fool

to the Park every year at this time for
months engagement. has played to a sue

Holden Is immensely pleased with the man
ner in which the plays or his company
repertoire have been received. OF course,
some of the plays have been better than
others but the members of the organiza-
ton have worked hard to entertain in
every performance they have given, and
they are deserving of commenda ton for
the conscientious way in which they have
been presenting their dramas. While their
present offering is not an especially strong
one. il is worth seeing. and doubtless the
season will come to a conclusion before

REMARKABLE CONCERT GIVEN BY
THEM AT TOMLINsON HALL.
Proud Parents Were Spectators of the
Work of Their Chfldren-Or-
chestral Numbers.

The school children's concert at Tom
linson Hall last night was the most sue
cessful affair Of the kind ever given in In
dianapolis. The big auditorium, whicn
was beautifully decorated for the occasion
with flags and streamers of the national
colors, was filed TO overlooking with the
proud parents. relatives and friends of the
juvenile singers and instrumentalists, and
a more enthusiastic audience has not as
sembled in this city for many months
The great chorus of six hundred little
girls and bows of the public schools. to-
gether with a large orchestra made up OF
the young musicians of the Shortridge and
Manual Training High Schools, occupied
every available square foot OF space on the
big platform and presented a very pretty
picture. The fresh childish voices were
good to hear, for the children sang with
their whole hearts, while the orchestral
portion Of the programme was worthy Of
much praise Both chorus and orchestra
were under the direction of Edward Bailey
Birge. the instructor of music in the public
schools, and he had admirable control over
his young pupils.
The chorus numbers were Sullivan's beau
tiful ballad, THE Last Chord" which was
rendered in excellent style; the ever-pop-
ular Anvil Chorus" from III Trovatore;"
a group of German songs that were charm
ing In their simplicity; the "Triumphal
March from Carlos oratorio, "Naaman."
America, sung with the audience join
ing in. and the new patriotic song. My
Own United States" This last named
piece, which has proved one of the hits Of
Julian Edwardss new military opera,
when Johnny Comes Marching Home,
had never before been given a public rem
dition in indianapolis and its stirring words
and tuncful melody, brought out in whole
souled manner by the little singers, delight
ed the great audience.
The orchestra, whose work throughout
the evening was very satisfactory, played
the "Lustspiel Overture" by Kela Bella
four movements from Gruenwald's Antony
and Cleopatra, and two popular marches
of the day. The instrumental soloists were
Benjamin Shreckengost. who played the
Cavatina from Meyerbeer's Robert lie
Diable," on the cornet, and Charles Arthur
Lewis young player of the trombone,
who rendered on his instrument the favor
lite "Old Folks at Home" with varia tons.
Both soloists were warmly applauded and
responded with short encore numbers. The
piano accompaniment to several Of the
chorus and solo numbers were well played
by Mrs. Hankemeier, Mrs. Goode and
Miss Clippenger. Director Birge is deserv-
ing of much credit both for the clever man.

MONEY BELONGED TO GUEST.


Mrs. Louis Butler, of HOS North Alabama
street, who reported the loss of a s. bill
from her pocketbook shortly after the de-
parture of some guests she was entertain
ing on Thursday afternoon, says the money
was taken from pocketbook that was in
one of the upstairs rooms and that none of
her guests had access to the room and, of
course, none is suspected. The money did
not belong to Mrs. Butler, but 10 a guest
from out of town. II is supposed some one
entered the house and got the money while
the guests were being entertained.
