Howard Kyle in Rosemary"

What a sweet, wholesome play is Louis
n. ParkeT's romantic comedy, Rosemary"
1t was presented at English's yesterday aft
ernoon and last night by Howard Kyle and
mis- little company of players before audi
ences of moderate size, and, coming in the
midst of a number of musical extravagan-
zas and spectacular dramas, 1t seemed quite
a novelty. Rosemary was first acted in
Indianapolis ten years ago by John Drew
and Maude Adams, and was afterward
given by Otis Skinner, assisted by his wife,
Maude Durbin, who was then appearing
with him as his leading woman. 1t is
play that should never wear out Its well
come, and the audiences yesterday thor
oughly enjoyed the piece, although 1t is
being revived on a modest scale.
The spectators alternately laughed, smiled
and saddened at the play Of emotions In the
dainty little comedy, followed with in
creased interest and sympathy the unrav-
cling of the slender but charming plot and
burst into sincere applause when the act
ing was deserving OF approval To repeat
the plot OF the play in detail would be TO
tell a rather stale story, and 1t is only
necessary TO state that in the hands OF
Mr. Kyle and his associates 1t was inter
preted IN quite a satisfactory manner. Nh
Kyle is an actor of considerable talent. His
voice is unusually musical, his stage pres
ence attractive and his methods are Schol-

given woman star in years has been so
exacting. so wearing, yet Miss Galland en-
joys the role more than anything she has
ever before assayed- 1t is a role which takes
her up and down the scale Of emotions with
a wOndrous rapiaity. She is first the
and petted daughter of a noble house, and,
in breath, she is the loving and lovable
girl for whom the heroic Sir John Manners
defied the terrors of death to claim. In
every scene in the play Miss Galland Is
said to show strength. She sinks her own
magnetic individuality into the role, and
those who go to see her find their imag-
nations carrying them back through CEN
turtles agone.
In New York Miss Galland scored her first
success at the New York Theater, and
when her engagement there was at end
and the powers could not arrange for her
continuance there, the Lyric Theater was
offered Manager Zimmerman. and over
night he installed Mistress Dorothy and
to such a degree that when her time had
expired at this house the managers i'm
plored her 10 stay. and would have can
celled other attractions, but earlier book
ings for the Western country called her
from the metropolis. and thus il is that In
dianapOlis playgoers will see Miss Galland
and her excellent supporting company in
the original production as given for several
weeks in New York.
The company engaged in the support of
Miss Galland includes such well-known
players as William Levers, Frank Losee,
Asa Lee Willard. George lie Soir, Duncan
Harris, Kate Denim Wilson, Margaret
Bourne, Ada Leyick, Mary Bacon, Emma
Willard and others.

Correspondence OF the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Jan. PA pure play is q
rare thing to come from Paris. THE Sc
cret of Polichinelle" is that. In its first
New York audience only here and there a
person knew what TO expect. A minority
was disappointed that the comedy didn
turn out to be a salicious farce. a majority
was astonished pleasurably when ii devel-
oped a theme of conjugal loyalty instead of
infidelity. Paris can't be altogether wicked,
for this piece lasted a year there; nor Ber-
lin and Vienna even Electrically degenerate,
for it had long seasons in those cities; and
new we shall see how well and lastingly
New York will like it. Its humorous eX-
hibition of affectionate demesticity ought
to be irresistible. But don't infer that it
is faultless. The subject is exhausted by
the end of the second act. and is carried
limp through a third. Another demerit for
America is that the plot turns on the
French law that a marriage by parties I'M
der the age of twenty-five, without par
entail consent, is null and void. Therefore.
the young gentleman and the working girl
who mate themselves defiantly and beget
child, are regarded by his family and ac-
quaintances as social outlaws We have no
such statute, and are inclined to say fudge

and tender is treated as if she were shame
lessly tough.

however, Mr.. Greet varied from tradition.
The female characters were impersonated
by women, which was not the custom dur
ing Shakspeares time; quality did not
sit upon the stage in Boston. and pro-
grammes of the modern sort were distrib-
uted TO the audience. These were minor
details, however, unworthy of especial con-
sideration. Mr.. Greet ignored one ira

Mr.. Howells, who is now writing every
week for Harpers Weekly, contributes to
the current issue of that journal inter-
esting article on some recent English and
American dramas. He suggests a striking
distinction between certain characteristic
foreign and native plays. Those which he
has lately seen. he says-such The Adj
mirable Crichton," embarrassing Julia"
CANDIDA" THE County Chairman" Her
ister," and THE Other Girl''-divide them
selves broadly into two sorts according to
their nationality: the domestic sort and the
society sort. THE English plays have to
do with man as a society man, both in the
narrower and the wider sense, and the
American plays have to do with man as
terest is the home, and with the English
the main human interest is society. But
lest we should be unduly proud of our diff
ference from the English in this point, L
hasten to suggest that this is because in
the narrower English sense we have no So
1t Is because we are still almost entirely
rustic in origin, and preponderantly simple
in our conceptions of happiness. In the
wider sense we certainly have society; and

what is termed straight vaudeville. The
management has booked what appears to
be a strong programme of specialties The
bill will be headed by the Max Welson
troupe from Europe-four gymnasts and
acrobats whose performance is credited
with being sensational in the extreme. The
troupe has never been seen in indianapolis;
in fact the WILSON'S made their American
debut only four weeks ago. Each one of
the men Is perfectly developed and pos
cesses most remarkable strength. While
acrobatic acts are common in vaudeville
something very unusual is promised in the
exhibition of this quartet. Next in i'm

five performers in this company-three men
