WONDERFUL WORK OF
SKIRT-MAKING MACHINE

To-Day.

Indianapolis women have taken much
interest in the exhibit of skirt making by
machinery which has been going on at the
l.. s. Ayres store. Four young women
operators. driving electrically propelled ma
chimes, have been turning out a complete
petticoat every eight minutes during the
week. and il the machines behave them
selves, by noon to-day the four operators
will have nearly four hundred three-rufied
petticoats to their credit. This is probably
a worlds record in rapid sewing and was
an impossible achievement previous to the
invention OF these machines.

AUDIENCE AT PROPYLAEUM
HEARS A REAL MELO-DRAMA
Rendition of Tennyson's "EnOh Arden" BY Pianist and Racita;
FuHW Poets Conception and Musicians Motif

In the lives of Indianapolis music-lovers
such treats are rare as was accorded them
by Mr.. Warner Ross and Mr.. Paul Erd-
mann Teichert at the Propyleum yesterday
afternoon. Richard Strauss musical in
depreciation of Tennyson's "Enoch Arden
has never before been heard in this city,
and Ii received a worthy introduction at
the hands of these two local artists. The
entertainment was an invitational affair
in charge of Mrs. Ona b. Talbot, who
acted as hostess 10 an audience which COM
fort.bly filled the large lecture room on the
first floor.
Mr.. Teichert opened the performance
with a few words explanatory of the com
position. He said: 'EnOch Arden is an
arrangement for a reader and a piano of
Tennyson's poem, by Richard Strauss, the
foremost German composer of the day. He
calls il a melodrama, using the word in
its original meaning, which is a poem or
drama with incidental music. Strictly, this
is a further development of the old must
cal monologue form, but MIR. Strauss has
divided the work and thus removed the
objection that one person cannot do JUS
tice to both the poem and the score Struc-
turally. 'Enoch Arden is in the modern
dramatic mode, which was raised TO its
highest power by Wagner in his music
drama-that Is, the characters, their ma
terial circumstance and special activities
are represented by special motifs. These
themes are the principal elements in the
musical fabric"
Mr.. Teichert further coached the under
standing OF the audience by playing the
motifs OF the principal characters-Enoch
Arden. Annie Lee and Philip Ray. The mu
sician's powers of technique and interpre-
tation are too well known in indianapolis
10 require comment, but those who are best
acquainted with his playing declare that
Mr.. Teichert surpassed himself in this
Strauss music. He succeeded In impressing
tfs auditors with the fact that he felt. as
he compelled them TO feel. the full force
of this mighty tragedy of homely life; II
was as II the musical direction init

score as he played IL.

apolis could scarcely have been made under
more favorable circumstances. He pos

sonorcusness. expressive and exceIlently

modulated. He read T~ennyson'S lines as
they should be read-with dignity.
EMOTION NOT NEEDED.
An emotional elocutionist would utterly
have ruined the effect the poet created and
which Mr.. Ross so understandingly con-
veyed. The passion in the lines was never
intended to be torn to %tatters: it is too
deep for emotionalism. This is a rock on
which many a reciter has foundered, who
forgets Schiller's words, 1.-THE shadows
chatter, but the deeps are dumb"
That Mr.. Ross appreciated this need OF
temperate repression is a matter for con-
graduation; it proved his ability to fall in
with the mood both of the poet and the
composer. To the uninitiated the whole per-
Torrance was a revelations; to those of mu-
steal erudition is could scarcely have been
less.
The poem "Enoch Arden is one of Tenny-
sons compositions which has come in for a
large amount of adverse criticism; it has
been said that the story is too simple for
it's elaborate setting; that it is loaded down
with detail. Why the German composer
should have chosen il as a vehicle rather
tnsn some poem possessing more rapid
naturally asked. but easily answered by
any one who has heard the music.
In the first place there is that element
which has been the keynote Of all drama
from the beginning-Fate. There is no evil

and Nemesis works the doom unaided. Sec

up to it's eeriest manifestation, the far-dis-
tant pealing of the wedding bells heard half
across the world by Enoch on his lonely
island. And. third, the fight that RACES in
the man himself and the noble victory of
his self-sacriice. These are the things that
must have appealed TO Strauss and made
him choose this gem out of all English
literature to interpret in the language Of
music.
AT the close of yesterdays performance a
reception was held for Mr.. Ross and Mr..
fletcher, and refreshments were served. The
performers are making engagements 10 give
the entertainment in a number of Indiana
towns during the coming spring. Their
venture has every prospect of the success it
emphatically deserves.

TWO CHURCHES WAR OVER
PECULIAR ARRANGEMENT
One House of Worship for Both,
but Reformed Congregation
Refuses TO Move.
WAGE FIGHT IN COURTS

Two church congregations. owning and
using the same ediice for worship. have
caused seemingly endless litigation in Rock
Creek township. Wells county. Yesterday
the case was appealed from the Wells
Circuit Court to the Appellate Court under
the title of St. Paul's Lutheran Congrega-
uon' Northern Indiana Synod, VS.. Eli Houtz
and others.
Many years ago the church was built in
ROCK Creek township jointly by the Lu-
theran and Reformed congregations. The
SeIenuants We're members of the latter.
Each church occupied the house of worship
on alternate Sundays. until about eighteen
months ago, when il is claimed that the
REFORMED congregation commenced to oc-
cupy IL continuously with a series of re-
vival meetings. and since then has refused
to yield possession.
An injunction and restraining order were
secured In Wells county. and after much
contention and repeated appeals the end
is not yet IN sight. The defendants were
upheld by the Wells Circuit Court two
weeks ago and the plaintiffs have appealed
10 the State courts.

pleased the audience at the Park last
night. In developing the plot. which at
times approaches the borderline of pro-
priety, the company carefully whipped the
action within the confines of wholesome
ness and sought to make it's greatest
strength lean upon the dashes of romance.
1t is a melodrama which does not depend
upon red fire or burning powder to give i.
interest and it does not resort to mechan
zeal contrivances. although it Is effectively
mounted.
Pearl Sherwood is a pure-minded girl in
a family near New York. and she responds
when the dazzling lights of the city in
vite her to come and participate in its
follies. There is q scene in a wineroom
where a good deal OF the roguery is de-
veloped, and where Pearl Sherwood throws
wine into the faces Of those who connive
against her and fees from the path she is
following. From that time until the knavery
is overtaken there is excitement of varied
kinds. She is abducted, held prisoner, is
the victim Of a scheming woman and a
mar who is thoroughly bad, but in the
end she escapes IL all.
The part of Pearl Sherwood leans heavily
upon Ellen Bayer, a capable young woman,
who is equal to the task of taking care of
herself at trying times and in giving weight
to the love story. If the ill-will of an
audience is to be taken as approval of the
good work in the development of rascali-
~, then Anna Marie Schafer, in the part
of Dolly Fletcher, was a glowing success
as a designing woman. One of the difficult
characters falls to Walter Walker, in the
role of Pearl Sherwood's brother, when
he dips into the villainy, gives the sister
the impression that he Is against her. but
at all times trying TO shield her. Robert
Smiley. Oscar Biggs, Walter b. Gilbert,

parts. Guessing over the plot at times when
ii was in need of furnishing. There is a
