AS Ii 1t were not enough to reform
the spelling Of certain words in our
language, two scientists have come
forward with the purpose Of reform
ing the alphabet itself. They affect to
have tested the speed with which the
mind can recognize some of the letters
and the conclusion reached by them
ID that the forms of the printed letters
are badly conceived from physlo-
logical point of view; that if they
were composed Of characters of simple
construction, such as are the letters
Z and L, the speed of the recognition
Of letters would be greatly increased
and the mental fatigue would be much
diminished. These scientists are
Hhrewd enough not to say what form
the other letters should take in order
to relieve the mental fatigue. They
end by simply making the complaint.
It Is a curious fact that the desire
FOR physical development for their

1t is not often that the Park has a show
like Through the Center of the Earth"
which opened at that popular theater yes
terday for half-week's engagement. This
piece comes under the heading of "the
unclassified;" it is neither drama nor
musical comedy, and though il is termed
an extravaganza it is more properly a
merry, nonsensical tumble of song, dance,
farcical incident, pictorial display and up
roarious farcical comedy AS an entertain
ment made up of a good deal Of rhyme
and absolutely no reason, it is highly sue
cessfuI and it more than pleased the large
audiences that gathered yesterday to give
it a hearty welcome.
Edward Blondell wrote the piece. and il
il this clever comedian who is putting il on
the stage and playing the leading part.
The Story-what there is of it-has to deal
with a country pumpkin named Reuben
who goes forth in search of the center of
the earth in company with college pro-
fessor and a pretty girl. The professor
has brought ancient mummy to life by
means of a wondrous fluid and il is the
mummy who has furnished the instructions
for reaching the much-desired goal. The
three explorers meet with many ridiculous
adventures in pursuing their travels. and
when they finally arrive at their journey 3
end they are rewarded with endless wealth
and the country pumpkin is crowned king
of the realm
The first half-hour of the show is pretty
dull for the piece starts out with rather
ineffective attempts at funmaking but
when once Blondell and the more able
comedians and singers of the company
"get the ball rolling" there is plenty of
frivolity OF an enjoyable kind. chorus
of fifteen good-looking and shapely girls
aid greatly in making the musical numbers
attractive. and some of the ensembles are
very prettiy staged. The music of the
piece was written by Harry Won Tilzer.

music is of uneven merit, some of the
melodies being quite tuneful while others
are decidedly monotonous, showing quite
plainly that they have been ground out
TO order.
Katheryn Caine, a talented soubrette. is
good in the part of the girl tourist, and
Robert Fulton plays the part of the pro-
fessor in capable style. Ed II. Ward works
hard as a German doctor, and. while some
of his Jokes of ancient brand, he
succeeds in causing laughter. Other parts
are well played by Frank W. Shea, Phil
Harsle, John A. Dewey, Bessie Miller, Rena
Aubrey, Lillian Fiske and the Halves sis
tiers.
There are several handsome stage effects
the one showing the Arctic regions being
especially effective, while the finale of the
production, with it's electrical features, is
very striking. Through the Center OF the
Earth will be the bill at the Park until
Thursday. 1t will be followed by Theodore
Kremer's best melodrama, The Fatal
Wedding"

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

The new vaudeville bill at the Grand is
headed by one OF the cleverest and most
painstaking women on the vaudeville stage
Valerie Bergere-whose work is always at
tractive and interesting. Players engaged
in enacting short comedies in vaudeville
are only too often consumed with the idea
that they must emphasize every point in
their acting if the audience is to be made
to comprehend the humor of it, the
pathos of it, as the case may be, and for
this reason it is seldom indeed, that a truly
artistic piece of acting is to be witnessed
in this style of popular entertainment But
Miss Bergere has had excellent training on
the legitimate stage; she knows how to
play upon the feelings of her auditors with
out resorting to pile-driving methods, and
she does not make the mistake of under
rating the intelligence of the people "out
in front" Her sketch this season is far
from being a really meritorious one. but
she holds the attention of her auditors with
her own magnetism. The playlet is called
"Jimmy's Experiment and it is just about
as inconsistent as they make em, which
is saying good deal. In the hands of many
other actresses now in vaudeville it would
become a positive bore, but Miss Bergere's
clever work makes it acceptable and at
times quite amusing. She is given able as
sistance by Henry Keane and Maude Tur-
ner Gordon, who, like Miss Bergere, her
self. are capable enough TO be playing bet
ter parts.
The bill, as whole, is well balanced The
Jackson family of trick cyclists present an
exhibition that is the best thing of the
kind ever seen outside of a circus arena
They perform may startling feats of daring
that few other fancy bicycle riders at
tempt and their act stirs up considerable
enthusiasm. Another high-class exhibition
on the programme is the performance of the
Three Lannon'S. who actually have some
thing new to offer in acrobaticS. The two
men and the little woman making up the
trio execute their difficult tricks" with
such remarkable grace that even those reg
ular vaudeville-goers who are somewhat
tired OF acrobatc acts involuntarily sit
up and take notice
A farcical sketch by j. A. Murphy and
Eloise Willard is productive of much laugh
ter. Mr.. Murphy is droll comedian who is
able TO keep an audience convulsed through
the most outlandish nonsense, and Miss
Willard, respondent in dazzling Partisan
gown sings old-time ballads I'm a high
soprano and acts as excellent foil for
her partners comicalities. Ward and Cur
rem, team of local favorites, return TO
the Grand in the same character sketch
which they had 10 offer during their last
visit to that theater. Mr.. Ward is very fun
ny as a boisterous old police Judge. and
Mr. Currans sweet tenor voice is heard to
advantage in several pretty songs, but IL
would seem that such clever entertainers
would exert themselves enough TO prepare
something new. great mistake is made
by the vaudeville people who persist in
seas son out In the largest cities, such as
New York. Philadelphia and Chicago,
vaudeville audiences are ever changing and
performers May continue in the same old

In the Theaters Of Indianapolis

No to the still persistent Sam Coast. and
this time the Westerner decides to turn his
back upon New York and retire from the
scene defeated Then the news is receivd
that Coleman is alive after ALL and has ar
rived home again. He comes to the girl he
loves with his arms bandaged and his face
strength is fast coming back 10 him, and the
meeting of the lovers is a happy one. Georg
lana, who has fought against odds in fol-
lowing out her love for 1.-The right man,"
gains her own way.
In the role of the heroine, Maxine Elliott
is seen to better advantage than in any
part that she has previously played. Mr..
Fitch has provided her with a character
that fits her perfectly, giving her all that
she can do well and nothing that she can
not. She misses none of the points of the
part and her opportunities are many. The
role affords her chances for the display of
unusually diversified feeling, ranging from
girlish merriment to overwhelming grief.
and she is equal TO every demand made
upon her. There was a time when Maxine
Elliott was looked upon merely as an
actress of uncommon beauty. and her tai
ent was of secondary consideration She
Is still a delight to the eye, but her ability
as an actress can no longer be ignored.
Mr.. Fitch not only furnishes the star with
a character that is splendidly adapted to
her, but showed unerriing Judgment in Sc
lecting the supporting players, so that each
part in the play would be interpreted by an
actor or actress who could give il fault
less portrayal. Hence every role is ad-
mirably presented. from that of the hero,
played by Charles Cherry, to that of the
butler, ably handled by Frandlyn
Hurleigh. The strongest character type in
the piece is that of Sam Coast the West
ern man of business, not villain at heart,
but so selfish that he cannot see beyond his
own interests. William Courtlegh gives an
excellent portraiture of Coast, making the
part, which might easily be overdone, so
human that the sympathy of the audience
actually goes out TO him when he receives
his final dismissal from his beloved Georg-
lana. Charles Cherry is handsome, manly,
r. c. Herr does excellent work in the un-
grateful part of the weak Steven Carley.
Nellie Thorne, as Mrs. Steven Carley, is
seen In striking reproduction of the shall
low woman of the world, and Eva Vincent
impersonatiOn of the elderly Mrs. Carley is
very amusing, as she injects just the right
amount of vulgarity into the part. The char
acter of a laxative hair dresser is played
so well by Georgia Lawrence that this
clever Coincidence wins many laughs from
the audience. The playwright has provided
this character with many funny lines, and
Miss Lawrence makes the most of all of
them. Susanna Perry is good in the small
part of the maid Lizzie. The four children
in the cast deserve high praise for their
natural acting. Little Donald Gallaher is
delightful as Philip, and Frances Clinton
Mollie King and Marie Hirsch are almost
good in their respective parts.
Her Own Way is we'll worth seeing. 1t
will be repeated for the last time here this
evening.

act almost indefinitely, but in cities of the
size of indianapolis the audiences are al
ways pretty much the same and they do
not care to see the old acts over again when
they go in quest Of amusement.
Ferguson and Passmore have a pleasing
singing and dancing speciality to offer.
Miss Passmore possesses a rich contralto
voice and young Mr.. Ferguson, who is a
son of Barney Ferguson, the Irish come
dian, is in George Cohan's class as a dancer.
The Silvers furnish an illustrated song
act that differs very little from the one
which they gave here last season. Their
stereopticon views are attractive, but the
ballads which they render are rather tire
some. The McAvoys give a comedy sketch
that is good and bad in spots. Mr.. McAvoy's
eccentric dancing and acrobatic work is
by far the best feature of the speciality. The
bill comes TO an end with number of in
teresting bioscope pictures.

Shopping suggestions.

Champagne color seems to lose nothing of
its prestige and one of the lovliest sum-
mer fabrics yet shown is an exquisitely
soft null embroidered with the tiniest of
rosebuds in very pale pink.
Trimmings of contrasting colors are much
in evidence on the latest arrivals among the
silk petticoats and the combinations are
particularly effective after the long line of
plain, unrelieved affairs. dark blue petit
coat shows ruchings and pipings of bright
plaid, and scarlet one is touched with
somber, but effective black.

Strands of gold beads just long enough
to encircie the neck are popular ornaments
and are worn on all occasions For the
past season or two the very large beads
OF rose gold have been the most favored,
but the jewelers. are now showing strings
of the tiniest possible beads. which are so
dainty as 10 prove formidable rivals to the
larger ones.
The bonnets. which were definitely proph-
esed a season or two ago, have failed to
materialize, but near approach to them
is seen in some of the new spring hats,
which are so very small and close-fitting as
to suggest the bonnet. One of the prettiest
yet seen is of white lace straw with band
Of fancy jet about the brim and jet
quill. The prim little shapes are unexpect-
edly becoming to young faces.

The round necks, which were so much
favored for last years summer frocks, will
be modish again this year and the girls who
like common mixed with their
fashions will undoubtedly avail themselves
of the comfort and ease afforded by the
coliarlesS summer frock. The square neck
cut just low enough to leave the throat en-
tirely free, will be as popular the round
neck, and modish little waist of tucked
chiffon shows the square neck outlined with
q narrow band of blue velvet embroidered
with gold thread-the only touch of color.
