Burlesaue at the Empire.

The gallery gods set the seal Of their ap-
prevail on the New Trocadero Burlesquers
who opened for the week at the Empire
yesterday afternoon. Both the burlesques
and every number of the olio were vigor-
ously and shrilly applauded and the encores
prolonged the performance fifteen minutes
beyond the usual time for the curtain.
Larry Smith and Mamie Champion, old
time favorites at the Empire. head the COM
pany, and they are we'll supported. The
opening burlesque, prince Henry's Recep-
tion," gave Smith and McEvoy an oppor-
tunity for some rough-and-tumble comedy
work of the kind that warns up the gal
lery. The chorus Is good and exceptionally
we'll costumed, but the songs were for the
which closes the curtain-raiser, is a new
and novel feature that took well and must
be seen to be appreciated.
Adolph Adams, impersonator, opened the
olio with 'lightning-change" impersona-
tions of famous characters. His work is
good and was literally applauded. The
three Herbert Brothers, acrobats, offered
the best turn in the olio, and some of their
work is decidedly clever. Larry Smith and
Mamie Champion, in a sketch entitled
the blacksnak e-whip finale: Kelly and
Reno, eccentric comedy acrobats, do some
rough-and-tumble work that Is above the
average for roughness, the latter playing
the lay figure and permitting Kelly to ham
die him as he would sack of potatoes.
The quartet, Conlon, Ward, Dobbs and
Leigh, have good voices, and both their
music and fun are good.
The closing burlesque. 1.-THE School of
Love-" is a rather far-fetched comedy that
songs and costumes of the chorus were re-
deeming features.

William Gillette I'm sherlock Holmes"
If William Gillette had chosen to remain
away from Indianapolis during this his
third and last season In Sherlock Holmes
this city would have missed a rare theat-
rical treat in which every other large city
in the country has already shared. It is
true that Sherlock Holmes will continue
to be played for many seasons to come by
other stars and by stock companies-it is
far too good a play to 'shelve"-but see
Sherlock Holmes" without William Gil.
1ette in the title role would be small recon-
pense for having waited so long to witness
the much talked of drama. An old story
to nearly every other American city of
Arthur Conan Doyles delightful detective
tales comes to Indianapolis a refreshing
novelty. Since the first presentation Of this
very successful piece In New York Mr.. Gil
prevail of London and all England. too. has
been added TO Its popularity. 1t is easy to
understand why the dramatized version of
the Doyle stories has met with such uni
versal commentator. The play is so dis
tinctly unique and so cleverly constructed
that. although from the nature of its theme
1T is necessarily melodrama, each of its
situations seems entirely plausible. II Is
of the most engrossing interest imaginable
and Is more fruitful of enjoyment than any
other melodrama ever seen here. Ii Is full
of surprises that are brought about in
most natural way, and in each act there
Is a problem presented that has all the
fascination OF cleverly devised puzzle
the solution of which rivets the attention
OF the spectators while defying solution
until the unexpected happens like flash at
the close of the scene. For its premier in
Indianapolis at English's last night the
play was greeted by an audience that was
OF good proportions. but which was not
nearly so large the unusual merits of
the attraction would warrant il is not
often that local theater-goers are given an
opportunity for such unalloyed enjoyment
and English's should be packed during the
remaining two nights Of Mr.. Gillettes en-
gagement.

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

II Is the purpose of a vaudeville pro-
gramme to afford all kinds of entertain
ment. Many men are Of many minds, and
what causes some people amusement does
not always appeal to others in the same
way. The bill at the Grand this week is
made up of all sorts of specialties, some
of them very good and others that are not
of a high class. but on the whole the pro-
gramme proves diverting, and the amuse-
ment seeker who cannot find something in
il to enjoy will indeed be hard to please.
The leading attraction Is another one of
those ''big acts as they are called in
vaudeville, which had their origin In the
numerous musical girl shows" The
pretty chorus maidens, the Beaux and
Bellies Octet and the Pony Ballet, and now
the management offers for the considera-

tisement given by the girls themselves.
men in the sketch-two young fellows who
aid the girls in their musical numbers. and
the la 81 t A Fa1d Ted wh9
who, in this instance. appears as the big
good-natured negro servant woman at the
boarding school where the girls are sup
posed to be living. The act is under the
personal direction Of W. II. Mcconnell. who
prepared IL for the stage. If the so-called
comedy portions were cut out IL would
prove an attractive enough entertainment
although sadly lacking in originality as to
its musical features. The dialogue. which
is meant TO be funny. is dreadfully tire
some. The sketch is a brief operate COM
edy. with ideas borrowed from 1.-The Lib
erty Bellies" and Sally In Our Alley The
best that can be said of IL is that II some
times resembles the former piece; the worst
that can be said OF Ii is that only too often
IL is like the sally" show. II can never
be classed a meritorious vaudeville fea-
ture until ii has been entirely rewritten.
The most novel performance on the pro-
gramme Is the one contributed by Franco
Piper, who seems to be In class all by
himself as a banjoist. He Is not only able
to get real music out OF this most unsympa-
thetic of all strfnged instruments, but he
does some astonishing feats of juggling
with as many as four banjos at one time,
keeping them whirling in the air while
playing a melody on their strings as they
descend to his wonderfully dexterous fin
gers. 1t is nothing for him to play the
melody OF a composition on one banjo while
he produces the accompaniment on another
instrument. He made one OF the substan-
tial successes of the bill at the opening
performances yesterday, and fully deserved
all of the applause he received. Johnson

war board did not provide any funds for

were also well received. They are the best
of colored entertainers; their songs are all
given In splendid style. while the dancing
OF Johnson Is far more graceful than that
OF the average colored performer. Another
colored contributor TO the bill Is Rosa Lee
Taylor. who. with the assistance of a little
negro boy of about fourteen years. gives
singing turn that is only fairly success
full. Miss Taylor's voice is not adapted TO
high-class vocalizing, which she insists
upon attempting; she does much better
with her less pretentious numbers.
George c. Davis, the monologist of the
programme, knows how to tell stories In
such humorous fashion that ii seems too
bad he cannot manage to get hold of some
newer ones. He would probably be valua-
bic to any vaudeville manager II he would
but secure some material that has not been
used so much by other monologists. As IL
is he pleases those who have not heard his
stories before. The Reiff Brothers give one
of the best singing and dancing specialties
seen at the Grand this season, and Hickey
and Nelson duplicate the success made
upon the occasion of their first appearance
here, with their grotesque act entitled
Twisted and Tangled" Both Mr.. Hickey
and Miss Nelson are clever in their peculiar
line of stage work, which consists, for the
most part of comical contortions of the
body. An acrobatic act with plenty of
horseplay accompaniment is furnished by
RAMA and Arno the opening feature of
the programme, and ii is quite amusing in
its way. The bioscope has a number of
unusually good views.
