NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Robert Graves and
Mrs. Marguerite ]. Plant, widow of Henry
M. Plant, millionaire Southern railroad,
steamship and land owner, have been mar
ried at the Plant residence on Fifth ave-
nue.. There were only about half a dozen
witnesses, all relatives of the bride and
groom. A small luncheon was served and
then Mr.. and Mrs. Graves departed in a
special car for n short trip. Every effort
was made to prevent any publicity. and
some of the nearest relatives of both were
in complete ignorance of the affair until
they were notified by telephone or tele-

Theatrical Notes.

There came very near being no perform
ance Of the musical comedy, 1.-The Medal
and the Maid," the other night in New
York because of a ridiculous condition of
affairs. There IS a comic song in the piece
that was sung in London by James Sulli-
van and Sullivan's part is being played in
America by Ignatio Martinetti. Jimmy
Powers, the leading comedian Of the show,
who adapted the comedy for the American
stage, appropriated the song for his own
use, and sang II in Buffalo with immense
success. Somebody told Martinetti that by
rights the song belonged to him, and he
claimed it. The managers promised that
he should sing il and when Powers heard
the news he said. There will be no show
at all unless / sing that ditty." So the
managers told Powers that he might sing
1t in the second act and the play began.
In the meantime Martinetti had made ar
rangementS with the musical director to
come to his rescue and, to the surprise of
Powers and everybody else on the stage
Martinetu sang the song in the first act
and made a big hit with it. 1t isn't known
what will be the outcome of the matter
but II is said that the comedians no longer
speak TO each other. Jimmy Powers ignores
the song now and declares that he never
liked it anyway.
What promises to be one of the real nov
elites of the local season will be the beau
tiful production of the japanese idyl, "a
japanese Nightingale, at English's to-
morrow and Friday nights. This is the
Oriental love story adapted by William
Young from the charming little novel by
Onoto Watanna, which has just concluded
a successful run in New York where it
was pronounced an unusually beautiful
spectacle. 1t is story of modern Japanese
life in which the characters are equally di-
vided among American and Japanese, and
the entire action takes place in and around
the interesting city of Toxic. The scenic
investiture is understood TO be entirely true
to the locale it represents and the beauti-
tul costumes, as well the dancers and
effects, have had the supervision of Japan
csc experts. The entire production. to-
gether with the dramatic company, chorus
and dancers, will be brought to Indian
apolis, and 100 people will be engaged in
the representation of this Oriental drama.
The company is headed by Margaret Hing
ton and Orrin Johnson.
The famous Kneisel Quartet will be heard
in Indianapolis for the first time this even
ing at the Claypool auditorium, and the
concert promises to be one of the most
noteworthy ever given in this city. The
quartet is composed of four musicians
who prominent figures in the musical
world-FranZ KneiSel, first violin; J. Theo-

concert will be the last OF the series under
the direction of Mrs. Ona =. Talbot, who
