Cast on Opening Night,
Saturday, April II.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

English's theater on Saturday
night, April II, becomes the home
of the stock production of Arthur
Casey for twenty weeks.
The twenty-week lease, signed
this morning by Leo M. Rappaport,
representing the Circle Theater
Company, holding the lease of Eng
lish's, and Casey assures Indian
apolis of splendid legitimate shows,
with prominent names in the cast.
Opening with the comedy, apron
Strings" Casey will follow that play
with such hits at 1.-THE Command To
Love-" Death Takes a Holiday, .
and "Uncle Dudley"
In the opening bill Donald Woods,
Frances Dale and Jane Wheatley,
who recently closed in the New
York Theater Guilds production of
1.-The Apple Cart" and last seen
here in Major Barbara" and
"Pygnalion," will play the leads.
Noted Director Coming
Casey brings to Indianapolis a
distinguished director, William Blair
who is stage manager for the New
York theater guild.
The plays on Casey'S list for Eng
liSh's during the season will include
such events as Guy Bates Post (if

Sceney," That's Gratitude" "Berk-
ley Square" Cup Pops the Devil, "
Phillip Goes Forth" Mrs. Moon
light" Young Sinners" Strange
Interlude," 'Dracula" and others.
II am convinced" Casey said to-
day, that metropolitan cities can
and will support good stock at 81
top.
''That will be my policy during
the twenty weeks at English's. 1t
is impossible to present the Theater
Guilds Strange Interlude' at a 81
top, so $150 top will be required
With the exception Of the open
ing Of the season on Saturday night
April II, the other openings will be
on Sunday nights.
Freddie Sherman. who played in
Meet the Wife" and in numerous
stock companies, will be the juve-
nile.
Long Season Assured
Casey will manage the house and
company himself, although his COM
pany has been playing in st. Louis
TO rmany weeks at the Orpheum. He
has operated long run stock com
panies in Boston, Houston and St
Paul.
The one big value of Casey COM
ing to indianapolis is that this city
is assured of twenty-Week season.
He has the house under lease for
that length of time and he has his
plays and many of his players under
contract.
Ted I. Nicholas, formerly with the
press department at the Indiana,
and well-known indianapolis
newspaper man, will be the press
representative for Casey.

GASOLINE TAX
RECEIPTS RISE.
PAY PENALTIES
More Rigid Enforcement of
Law Is Shown Under
New Regime.
GALLoNAGE IS HIGHER
Oil Companies Required to
Make Their Reports
Under Oath.

Although leading Indiana oil
companies declare that sales have
dropped considerably as compared
with the same period last year,
gasoline tax collection report Of
State Auditor Floyd E. Williamson
for March showed great gains in
ga1onage and in dollars and cents
collected.
Gallonage increase over March,
1890 was 3.207,314.73 and collections
increased by S130, 36095.
Reason for the increase in reve-
nues is the better enforcement of
the collection law under Collector
Joseph M. Treacy. it was said.
Now the penalty clause is being
enforced where "bootlegging" of
gasoline is discovered and each re-
port on gallonage and payments
must be made by the oil companies
under oath.
No Prosecution Made

James M Ogden and A. n Bobbitt,
then state auditor, permitted a gaso-
line tax bootlegger to settle & $780,

tions we're promised by Ogden, but

Here is how the new regime made
money for the state in March;

protest fees, $2.45; penalties, $344.l7;
delinquent tax, S3,255.O3, and regular
net collections, $1,186,345.57. These
made a grand total of S1,189, 960.22,
as compared to LOSS, 59995 in 1880.

Williamson succeeded Bobbit in
the auditors office Dec. /, 1880
Since that date $31 ,24114 in delin-
quent tax and penalties have been
