The Fourth German Play.

The fourth performance in the series Of
German plays under the auspices of the
German Theater Society of Indianapolis
will take place at English's Wednesday
evening. The company of Teutonic players
from Cincinnati will be the interpreting or
ganization-the same combination of excel
lent actors and actresses that presented
"Alt Heidelberg in this city upon the oc-
casion of the opening of the season of Ger
man plays There are some very capable
people in the organization. and the best
work of these players is done in comedy.
The play TO be seen Wednesday evening
is a comedy drama entitled "Jaegerblut"
dealing with life in the Tyrolean Alps. The
mountaineers and foresters with their fas-
chatting peasant dances and yodling songs,
form prominent features of the piece. The
strong character of a sturdy forester, who
is not even swerved by affairs of the heart,
renders some of the dramatic situations
quite striking, especially when his fiancee
the sister of a poacher who las been caught
his estate. pleads for her brothers lib
erty. The play has several very pretty
musical numbers, and the stage settings
will be quite elaborate

Correspondence OF the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Very peculiar is
THE Younger Mrs. Parting in its fresh
presentation of a stale subject. The viz
tuous daughter of a vicious mother mar
ries into a highly respectable family not
because she loves the man who asks her
to. but for the purpose off getting away
from the insults of less circumspect adj
mirers. The home she goes into is less
tolerable than the one she quits. 1t is as
blue with restraint the other is yellow
with laxity. So she transfers herself from
an uncongenial husband to a lover whom
she loves. Variants of that matrimonial
story have been told till not another seems

Saturday matinee. The opera is the
joint production of Reginald De KOven,
Charles Klein and Charles Emerson Cook:
Musical critics in the East have declared
that In The Red Feather Mr. De koyen
has equaled his masterpiece, robin
Hood" and two at least of his songs, The
Song of the Guard and THE Prince or
Good Fellows" seem destined TO lasting
popularity. The book is the work OF
Charles Klein and the lyrics were furnished
by Mr.. Cook.
The story of the opera is a romantic and
interesting one. The Countess Van Draga
IS in reality ''The Red Feather a motor
ious bandit in the imaginary kingdom Of
Romancia. The capture of this bandit has
become state problem. The countess has
decided revolutionary tendencies and has
excited the ire and the dislike of the gov
eminent. A captain of the royal guards of
Romancia Is in love with the countess and
she loves him, but will not confess 1t. The
crown prince of Romancia also loves the
countess. but neither he nor the captain
OF his guards knows that she is THE Red
Feather" The rivalry between the two
men for the favor of the countess fur
nished most of the fun. When at last the
Identity of the countess is discovered and
she is unmasked as THE Red Feather" the
crown prince drops out of the running, but
the captain remains true TO his love and
everything turns out happily.
In the leading role Grace Van Studdiford
has found the best opportunity OF her stage
career She Is equally good as the titled
lady of the court and the happy-go-lucky
bandit who robs her own sweetheart, just
for fun. She possesses that rare combina-
ton of fine voice. good stage presence and
high dramatic ability. Others in the COM
pany are: Elsie De We're, Olive c. Moore,
Lillian Seton. Margaret Hubbard Aver.

Florenz Zeigfeld, whose productions are

Park-Tyyo Me1odramas.

Her Only Sin," Lincoln ]. Carriers latest
contribution to the stage, opens the week at
the Park tomorrow afternoon, with Julia
Gray. new aspirant, at tn head OF the
company. Mr.. Carter has himself probably
lost count of the number of melodramas he
has produced. but his newest effort is said
to be widely different from any of them,
being more substantial in tone, softer in its
effect. and is described as a purely social
drama In 1t he tells the story of an Eng
lish actress. a part taken by Miss Gray, who
made an unfortunate marriage and is called
upon to make many sacrifices for her young
son. The plot IL based upon an old English
law. probably obsolete by this time, which
gives a father the sole guardianship Of his
child after IL reaches the age OF seven. In
the play the father is a drunkard and
toward saving her child from legal entan-
clements which the father sets in motion.
In this character Miss Gray is said TO por-
tray almost the whole gamut of human
emotions, from tragedy Ito comedy, and
other characters assist in bringing out the
sentiment. satire and lighter comedy. John
T. Nicholson is said To have two trying
parts In the production. He first appears as
the abusive father. and later on as the low
ing son of the man whom he earlier repre-
sents. The scenes of the play are laid in
England. Belgium and Scotland. and il is
said 10 be mounted on the usual Carter scale
of extravaganza. The company coming to
the Park is the same that which produced
the play during its lengthy season in Chi
cago.
Hal Brown and company come to the
Park on Thursday to conclude the week in

The Grand-Xaudeville.

The Grand's vaudeville programme this
week will be headed by Fannie Rice, one
of the best-known condolences on the
American stage-a bright. interesting enter
tainer who can sing, dance and give de-
lightful limitations of prominent actresses.
Miss Rice was for several years one of the
bright particular stars of the operate stage
in this country and has also appeared as
the star in various musical comedies. a
washington critic said of Miss Rice when
she played an engagement at Chase's
Vaudeville Theater in the national capital
two weeks ago: There is something IRE
sistibly fascinating in her personality. She
has the finish of artist, with all the
abandon. grace and frolicsome tempera-
ment of brilliant coincidence. Those who
saw her performance must have been inn
pressed by the wonderful manner In Wnlch
her youth and suppleneSS have been con-
served. By every right of legitimate pre-
tense she should stand at the head of
American condolences. for she is funny
from the top of her red crown to the frils
OF her white skirts
Adelina Reatina and Clara Stevens will
be on the bill with an act that is mixture
of singing and dancing. Miss Reatina is
girl with a rarely beautiful soprano voice
and Miss Stevens a dancer of exceptional
ability. Their speciality has never been
seen at the Grand. Beatrice MOreland, who
appeared here last season in a mOnOlOgue
that proved very successful viii con-
tribute a little entertainment of her own.
She may usually be counted on for some
good new stories and songs Earle and Will
son will furnish the instrumental music
of the show. They are newcomers to the
local stage and are said to have very at
tractive speciality. Keot and Rusik are
equiibrists and acrobats from Europe who
are heralded as remarkable performers in
their line. Frank Z. Richards and Louise
Montrose will furnish a farcical sketch
called "A Jack in the Box" which is said
to be very amusing. The Three Fortunes.

bats and gymnasts who are heralded
as marvels and Gillian and Murray are
black-face singers and comedians. The

did views of The Great Train Robbery

est which these fine pictures have aroused.

satisfy him. Gallagher would not deign
to quarrel with anyone who was not his
equal in physical strength and about
