in INDIANAPOLIS PARKS
AN EXCELLENT SERIES OF CON-
CERTS AT FAIR BANK.
Good Programme Arranged by Di-
rector Barnes-Band Concerts at
the City Parks.

A series of exceptionally fine band con-
certs is promised for the week at Fair
Bank. The excellent Ostendorf band, un-
der the conductorship of William E. Barnes
will continue as the attraction at the beau
tiful summer park, and splendid list of
programmes has been prepared for the en-
tertainment of the visitors to the resort
The band has been such an artistic success
this season that it will probably be taken
on tour of Indiana when its engagement
at Fair Bank closes. Louis Ostendorf. the
manager of the organization, considers it
the best company of instrumentalists ever
gathered together in indianapolis, and as he
has received number of inducements in re-
gard to taking the band to other Indiana
cities for brief engagements he is seriously
considering a short tour in the near future.
All of the concerts given by this admir-
able band are well worth attending, and
the programme for this week would seem
particularly inviting. There will be differ
ent instrumental soloist every night, and
many famous classic works, as we'll as
many new compositions, will be given dur
ing the week. Pasquale Montani the pic
colo player will be the soloist for to-mor-
row evening and the programme will be as
follows:

foreign theatrical gossip, the following in
teresting account of a meeting with
Madame Duse:
'I found Madame Duse in one of the cor
ridors leading from the stage, talking with
a small group of people. 1 was surprised to
see that she seemed wholly unlike the sad
eyed, listless woman 1 had imagined her to-
be when not acting. She looked very hand
some. and spoke with great animation, her
face luminous with her wonderful smile,
revealing her large white teeth. One of her
visitors / recognized as well-known Amer
lean actress with methods as far from
Duse's as those of any transformers could
be, but very amiable and pretty woman.
The poor American was having hard time
with her French, and Madame Duse was
trying to help her out by sustaining most
of the conversation. They were speaking
of one of Madame Duses roles, which role
1 could not make out, and the actress re-
marked pleasantly: You could play that,
too, and inquired politely about the work
her visitor was doing. No one could have
been more easy and delightful. When I was
presented Madame Duse was about to go to
her dressing room, but she gave me a mo-
ment, during which / received definite
impression of the extraordinary charm of
her manner. Nothing that L can cay can
express the exquisite impression she made.
1 felt 1 was in the presence of rare ma
ture. Some one has said that Sarah Bern
hardt is greater actress than Duse, be-
cause she is more successful i'm impersonat-
ing the grande dame, while Duse just
misses realizing that character. 1t seems
to me that no statement could be more abb
surd. Sarah Bernhardt, with her exag-
gerated ways, may easily be the grande
dame of the theater, but she is never grande
dame of the drawing room. Duse, on the
other hand, is never the woman of the
theater; she is always human and simple,
a creature of exquisite fiber"
