The Weber and Field night at the Park
toward the end of the season will attract
hundreds of people from surrounding towns
as well as house full from Indianapolis
alone. 1t is a pity the engagement could
not have been made to extend through
three nights at least.

The French edition of "Florodora," trans
lated and adapted by NM Vely and
Schwab, has not met with the success an
ticipated at the Theatre des Bouffes Par

in suiting the translated words to the
music il seems, and have also failed to
catch the spirit of the English produc-

the play is in and near West Baden

resort of southern Indiana during a ball.
Bob Blessing and his sister. society people
who have been charmed with the generous
hospitality and kindness shown them in a
typical Hoosier farmhouse by young girl
and her grandmother, have invited the two
plain folks to attend the dance. Some
amusing and embarrassing situations are
precipitated by the homely. countrified
ways of the grandmother. who is familiar
with the country orchestra perched in a
balcony above her. and feels quite at home
in addressing the musicians from the floor
of the ballroom. Amid all of the vagaries
and uncouth actions of the country orches-
ira the grandmother and other rustic guests
the story of the play begins to form and
the dramatic situations that follow in the
succeeding acts are strong and thrilling.
Lost River was seen in Indianapolis at
English's two years ago and made a good
impression among tntdteTSOtTS DIT tudt
time. The present company is understood
to be a very capable one, and the play is
reasonably certain to score a great success
with Park audiences. The Park will return
to its custom of giving daily matinees this
week. and Lost River will begin its en-
gagement tomorrow afternoon.

The only minstrel show of the season at
the Park will come along Thursday, when
Hi Henry and his company of burnt-cork
entertainers will begin a half-week's en-

met with great success in New York, where
the show had a most satisfying run. The
comedians of the company are Billy Clark

Dove and Arthur Howe. The vocalists are
George S. Van, j. p Moore. Samuel Ed

The current vaudeville at the Grand will
differ greatly from the one that was pre-

America will be worthy and stimulating
influence. a part of national enlightenment,
when it appeals to those who love good
books, good statues. good music, and not
before. There is little use in discussing
the purely moral aspects of the drama. In
tellectual standards are the ones to ap-
ply. The highest drama of the day is in
Germany, yet the leading dramatists of
that country often produce plays which in
this country would be deemed improper
Why? Simply because the audiences which
see them here are less cultivated than
those which see them in Germany. Schiller
believed that no one of the other arts had
so wide an influence as the art of the stage
Clergyrnen everywhere are beginning to
make statements even more radical. In our
country, therefore, where education, in all
its branches, is taken seriously, is ii not
an anomaly that this popular art should
be excepted? The theater should have a
function beside the museum, the opera
house and the library. A superior drama
is one of the ornaments, perhaps even one
of the requisites, of a complete civiliza-
tion."

Now we are going to sell these caps at 4 cents each while they last, and they are worth 25 cents; therefore, you see we have bargains galore. But the best bargain of all is when you buy pound of our warranted 5o-cent Tea and get four bars of best laundry soap with it.

to come in. The debut of a singer not
infrequently involves serious outlay,

patronage represents money, and few
can resist the temptation to seek it.
