XJoudcault aud Brougham's Part in Grrlag to
the Stag; a "London Aeanrsviice.
CprciAl to tie Indian ;oIU Journal.
New York. March 21. If Dion Bouci
cault and John 13r.oasbam wero alive to
day they woaId he at liberty to dirnlgo a
secret, for a compact of silence, made fifty
years ago, has expired by limitation. Tho
"bargain between thosa two actora, play
wrights and manazers related to tho dis
puted authorship of "London Assurance."
That famous comedy was first acted
at tho Covent Garden Theater on
Iarch 4t 1SIL The prior announce
ments had named nobody at the dramatist.
Boucicault and Brougham were Terr
?onng men, and both had done a little in
the way of acting and composing, hut
neither had made any reputation at alL
Tho lata Charles Mathews acted apart
end directed the rehearsals, and the young
sters were in close attendance during the
preparations, hut it is doubtful if even
Mathews knew positively who had writ
ten the piece. At the conclusion of the
trial performance the audience called for
the author. Boucicault and Brougham
atood together beside the prompter, when
Madame Yestris, the Lady Uay Spanker of
the original cast, remarked that the time
jemed to have come .to divnlge the
identity of the successfal person. On
the in stint, Boucicault stepped oat in
Iront of the curtain, and held tho edge of it
behind him, close to the side of the prosce
nium, to that Brougham Conld only have
joined him before the audience by using
force. These particulars of Brougham's
exclusion from tte honors were given by
Mathews, daring his last visit to this city,
to a friend; but when Mathews was asked
wh really wrote the oouedy he replied
emphatically that he did not know. The
general pubho has all along been aware
that, while Boucicault'a sole authorship
has never been formally disputed. Brough
am has been credited by many with part of
the work with all of it by some of his ar
dent admirers.
Not many years before John Brongham's
death he and Boucicault met by appoint
ment in the oflice of Georze Lewis, the
noted London lawyer, and there passed,
from the latter to the former, tho sum of
$10,000. Boucicault had just made a great
nmcuntof money out of rheShaughrauD,"
and Brougham wai poor, his last venture
in theatricals here in New York having
failed. A third man present was Jean Paul
Paret. It is a diyulgeuce of this meeting,
npon the authority of an old member of
tho Lotos Club (of which Brougham was
once president) that can now ba made,
for the lirst time, and which goes far to
cltfftr the mystery away from the author
ship of "London Assurance." The basis of
the play was three ontvact French piecesof
a farcical character, like those which Mad
dison Mortua "adopted" into tho many En
sli&h farces bearing his name. Two had
been printed in Paris and transiently used
thero many years before. But the third
was in the manuscript of Jean Paul Paret's
father, and was bought yery cheaply by
Boucicault. who amalgamated it with the
. other, the result being ".London Assur
ance." How clover he was at dovetailing
short nieces Into a long one was
demonstrated so late as "Forbid
den Fruit." which he manufactured
out of two French farces of two different
authors. John Brougham had an equal
hand with him, however, in thus producing
London Assurance." Ihe exact propor
tions of their collaboration cannot now be
ascertained. But tbe fact is positive that
Brougham was a joint author, ihe bargain
was that the secret should be kept lifty
years from the date of the first production.
lio.tr that it disclosed, all the parties to the
x?om"pact are dead; tho nncopyrtghted play
has no money value, and only those inter
ested in the rights and wronzs of fame will
care much about the subject anyway.
ATTRACTIONS FOR THE WEEK.
. 'Farce-Corned j and the Legitimate to Be Seen
at the Several Theaters.
To-morrow night at the Grand, and con
tinuing nntil Thursday, the attraction will
bo Charlea H. Hoyt'a newest farce-comedy,
''A Trip to Chinatown." which has been
'probably the greatest of his numerous suc
cesses, and which is described as contain
ing a little of everything from grand opera
down to "horse play." Like all of his
.pieces it is a keen satire on some vulnerable
points of human nature. In this case.
Wetland Strong, a hypochondriac, is the
object of the farceur's wit. Thero is in A
Trip to Chinatown" only a shadow of a
plot, but it abounds in riotous incident,
humorous situations and merry melody.
Tho title is somewhat misleading, as is
usual with Hoy t'a titles, for the trip is only
talked about throughout tho piece and
never taken. The possibilities of the fabric
hinge npon the ruse of some lively yonng
people who protend that they are going on
a slumming expedition through Chinatown
In order that they may surreptitiously at
tend a forbidden masquerade ball. The
characters in the piece are all exaggerated
typea of every-day humanity, their sayings
nd domes, belnz ol impossible humor con
peived only by the mind of Hoyt.
Besides elland btronp. the hypochron-
driac, who is impersonated by Harry
Conor, there is a very amusing widow in
the niece, a Mrs. Guyer, of Chicago, who is
furnished with an attractive personality
by Mm Anna Boyd. Then there are some
subcrdinate characters, all appropriately
narrod and well represented. .Noah Heap,
a waiter. Ben Gay. a bachelor. Fowle Kerr.
a scurrilous newspaper hanger-on. H oilman
Price, a landlord; and others similar, are
distributed to good advantuge among such
people as Harry Gilfoyle. George Beano, jr.,
Ullie Archmere, John Leach, Lloyd il-
eonand Mattie llormby. lhere are, of
course, several interesting and pretty girls,
whose selected voices are very usef ul in the
musical numbers, which are numerous. On
tho play-bill Mr. Hoyt has this to say of
"A Trio to Chinatown:" The author begs
' to say that heretofore ho has always apolo
gized on the programme for what he has
done in tho play; burin this ease he doesn't
proposo to buy a word in apology or extenu
ation, until the authorsof some other farce-
comedifs, how touring the country, como
icrward and square themselves."
During the last half of this week Lewis
Morrison will bo seen at English's Opera
Louse as Mephisto, in his production of
"Faust." Mr. Morrison has been associated
with many dramatio performances through
out tho country, and has been seen in
"Faust," at the Grand Opera-house, on
two formor occasions, but the stage at
j-.nglish's will enable him to give more
thoroughly his production in its entirety.
The play is noteworthy for its series of
istartlinsteiiects throughout seven scenes.
!achQne of which is complete in itself.
Electricity is freely used, and among the
nest notable eilrcts is a crois starting into
light or the ehurch walL daunting Mephis
to amid hi loudest boastings. Flowers are
also 6trewa in the scene where Marguerite
cives herself to Faust, and the sword of
Mephisto llashej fire during the duel en
counter between Faust and Valentine. But
it ia in the Brocken scene that the acme of
light effect ia obtained, where the lightning
is realistic in eouiDletinir a weird nictnre
sho eing the uncanny people of the Sabbat
ana ineir cmei on the mountain peak.
Opening next Thursday evening, trage
dian Louis James will commence an en
casement at the Grand. Mr. James is one
of the best delineators of the standard
legitimate dramas, and his strong character
13 not couhned to one play. He is gifted in
having a uniqne conception of every char
acter bo a-jumes. Possessing physical ad
vanlap;es and a voice of marvelous power,
JUr. Ja-ines has been elevated by th force
cf his talents to hia proper place among
theatrical ctrr. Tho;a who have wit
nessed his art know what it ie, and class it
in the front with that of the few living
creat tragedians and exponents oi heroio
drama. He has selected for bis opening
bill "Othello." That and "Virginius"
v-hich he appears in Friday evening, are
said to be his two greatest characters. At
the baturday matinee "I he Marble Heart,"
a romantic Play, will be the Dill, ana
"Macbeth" will be given Saturday night.
Mr. James7 support this season includes r.
C. Mosley, H. A. Langdon, Ldwiu rerry, K
L. Power. M. L. Alsop. Miss Hamette
Weems, Miss Katherine Alvord aud others.
Sarah Bernbardt's Boston engagement.
which closed last night, was the largest
ever known for a dramatic attraction in
that city. The dema&d for seats was so
great that the best ones were readily sold
at from $20 to $20 advance, which is a pret
tv steep price. In Washington city, where
she is to play four performances, the ad-
vanco sale of seats on the first day it opened
amounted to over 812.000. Lvery where she
has played thus far like conditions have
prevailed, and the theaters caunot begin to
accommodate the people who want seats.
In consequence of tnis, two firms of New
lork book-makers aro sending out agents
to attend the advance sales for Bernhardt,
and to buy up as many of the choice seats
at possible for speculative purposes. They
will probably come to Indianapolis, as well
as other cities; , but every possible enort
will be made here to prevent speculation.
No person will be allowed to buy more than
six seats for one performance. Bernhardt
is to play "Fedora" aud "La ToscaV here.
April 14 and 15. and the advance sale of
seats will not begin until Mondav. April o.
That it will be unprecdentedly large is al
ready assured.
As a relief from the lurid border drama
that has been making the earth quake
about tho Park Theater last week the
patrons will have farce-comedy of the
most farcical kind, this week, in "Little
Nugget," a crazy-quilt piece, which has
always been very popular here. Jt is prob
ably not as good a play as "Othello." bnt
there is a lot more fun in it, for it permits
the introduction of all kinds of fun. musical
features, dances and specialties. Joseph
and Herbert Cawthorne, two clever per
formers, are at the beaa of the company.
which includes Miss Drncie Gilmore. a tal
ented young woman trull known here; Miss
husie i-orrenter, Hurt llurlburt. Dick Uual-
fautand others. The piece has been re
written since it was last seen here, and is
said to be impro ved.
The Eden Muse will be open all this
week, with Professor Juke's Museum Com
pany as the attraction. The "star" of this
corrpany is the so-called "Ossified man,"
the "freakiest" freak that has been seen
here. His tlesh has hardened and his
joints stiffened until he is like one large
bone, but the. assurance is given that it
doesn't interfere with his appetite. Other
curiosities are the talking dog, the Kansas
Jiant. the three-headed songstress and the
apanese village. -
"Do you know the one thing that con
tributes more than anything else to Herr
mann's success as a sleight-of-hand man?"
inquired a hardened patron of amusements.
"I'll tell you. Notice those long ringers of
his and see how easily he picks up heavy
objects. Those fingers are like steel and
grip use a vise ine greatest leai i ever
saw him perform was to tear a whole pack
of cards in two tifty-two cards at once.
That required immense finger-strongth."
Gossip of the Stage.
It is doubtful if James O'Neill will do
"Tho Dead Heart" next season. It came
near doing him this year: -----
T. J. Farron, of the old firm of Baker &
Farron. has retired from tho profession and
is keeping a saloon-in Butl'alo.
OUie Archmere. the clever girl who plays
hero in "A Trip to Chinatown," was last
seen in Indianapolis in "City Directory."
Some one recently asked Mm. John Drew
how long she expected to remain on the
stage, and she replied: "Until I cease to bo
useful.77
Marie Carlyle will b the -star lead in a
new farce-comedy by Eugene Wood, of
Chicago, which is to take the road next
season.
The author of "The Little Tycoon," Wil
lard Spenser, has written a new opera,
which will receive its first presentation at

times. '
Nelson Compston has just finished a comedy-drama
entitled "Her Second Husband;
or Her Third Love." The central figure is an
in genu creation with bistrionio ambition.
The vein is a peculiar dramatic satire. Miss
Nellie Fremont, a young California actress,
will give the play a trial through the
Northwest. ' '.
H. Gratton Donnelly's farce-comedy,
"Fashions," will go on. the road next eason
under W. A. Thompson. Ben Tuthill and
Harry Sellers are jointly to work in ad
vance. Bob Fitzsimmons. the champion
middle-weight of the world, has been en
gaged, and will make ten complete horse
shoes in ten minutes.
"The Henrietta" will receive its first
English production at the Avenue Theater.
London, March 28. Notwithstanding the
fact that Mrs. Kendal aud other English
players predict for the comedy a complete
success, it is said that Stuart Kobson proph
esies that its purely American llavor will
be its death warrant.
Nelson Decker is slowly recovering from
a severe arlliction to his articulation,
caused by excessive cigarette smoking.
The poison in tho cigarettes placed a thick
coating on Mr. Decker's long no. and it was
impossible for him to speak plainly. He is'
now under the doctor's care, aud hopes to
be able to resume work shortly.
Mr. Wilkinson's "Widows," Gillette's

gagement at the Trcmont Theater, has
brought with her a little girl named Made

It is said the actr ss intends to send the
child to France to be educated.- It is said
that the little girl, who is five years old, is'
the otlspring of some distaut relative of the
actress. -
Mrs. James Brown Potter and Kyrle lel
. lew have been having a great time lately
with the Rajah in India. Both have been
feted like princes. From Calcutta they are
going to Bombay, and thence to the various
military stations in the hill country. From
India Mrs. Potter will go to Cannes and re
turn from tbrre with her mother to .Am er
ica. Mrs. Potter says her Indian experience
has improved her histrionic abilities won
derfully. K ,
Mrs. Susan F. Gardner, of Noroton, Conn.,
has tiled a bill in the United States Circuit
Court to restrain Tony. Farrell, of New
York, and Charles R. Gardner frp rn produc
ing the play entitled, "The IrfejT Corporal."
Mrs. Gardner is the ownerof the drama and
leased it to Farrel for the theatrical season
of lS'JO-91. He was to pay a royality of $100

a partnership with Gardner, who is the
husband of complainant, and according to
Mrs. Gardner, not one ceat royalty has
been paid to ner.
San Francisco Musio and Drama: Jennie
Goldtbwaite, whose clever impersonation
of Dolly Dimple in "The Little Tycoon." at

erybody, is a Hoosier yonng ladr who hails
from Indianapolis. Although she has been
before the footlights for several seasons,
and has played nearly everything from
Eva. in "Uncle Tom." to Lady Audlej
this is her first vesture in opera. Her
schooling in the past fits her admirably tor
comedy of a very high order, and undoubt
edly she would bo ai successful in that line
as cho is in this.
THE PRSS AND OTHEE CLUBS.
Sat a r da j Nights for Newspaper lien and Their
Friends Club for College Graduates.
The Press Club has decided to hold, upon
the last Saturday evening of each month,
a purely informal social meeting, to which
each member is privileged to bring a couple
of friends. There will be no programmes,
no effort to entertain, but there will always
be plenty of card tables and plenty of con
versation, and if any member orhis friends
feel moved to offer anything in the way of
music, recitations or any other performance
that will contribute to the general good
time, bo much the better. It is the people
who get together that make anything of
this sort "go," and the Press Club has "the
people" who can make it interesting. It is
a foregone conclusion that "Tho Press
Club's Saturday Nights" will prove a suc
cess. The club has gradually fitted np its rooms
on Pennsylvania street, nntil now it has
very handsome and luxurious quarters.
It. P. Gruelle, the well-known artist, has
recently presented to the club a remark
ably etlective bit of landscape in water
color, and Mr. T. E. Hibben, who is an en
thusiastic collector, as well as an artist of
high rank, has loaned the club a handsome
collection of fine etchings, rare old prints
aud oils of high value. The club is also in
debted ta the water company for a number
of framed landscape photographs, and to
the National Card Company for playing-
cards in all the various beautiful styles it
turns out.
Speaking of clubs, there has been some
talk lately among the numerous college
men in the city of establishinga University
Club. Indianapolis has clubs and clubs,
probably more than any other city of its
size in the world, but all of them are for
some particular purpose. Of clubs that are
;j nst clubs." there are none. Tho Columbia
comes nearer to it than any other, and is en
unqualified success, but it is a semi-political
organization. Since tho old Meridian
Club died no organization of the kind, so,
numerous in other cities, has sprnng up to'
take its place, a club for eating, lounging
and social amusement, open to any man
who is a gentleman. -When the Com
mercial Club gets into its new building it
will try to fill this gap somewhat with a
cafe on the eighth floor and a club-room on
the seventh, but this will simply be a gath-ing-place
at noon.
Almost every other city of the size of In
dianapolis in the country has its universi
ty club, audevery where they prove delight
ful. You. are always sure to meet in them
a number of bright and. intelligent young
men, aud there is 'always a good story of
the old days and a table full of college pub
lications to keep one in touch with univer
sity, life. But whether such a club will
succeed in Indianapolis is another ques
tion. This is a city of homes and the men
who are free from domestic ties are com
paratively few. Nor has it yet advanced
to that refined stage of civilization where
domestic tics do not count for any thing.
MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
Mies Juch, with Other Favorites of Last Tear,
Re-Engaged Redaction in Railroad Rates.
The directors of. the May musio festival
have received from Miss Emma Juch a tele
gram announcing her acceptance of the en
gagement tendered her. Miss Juch will
take the place of Mme. Fursch-Madi, who is
now in Europe, and in such ill htalth that
her physician has advised against her cross
ing to this side of the Atlantic. Among the
other singers engaged are Miss Marie Howe,
Miss Clara Pool. Einil Fischer and W. J.
Lavin. Misa Pool is in the front rank of
contraltos, and has achieved high reputa
tion as an artist. Of Miss Howe, the so
prano, it m.iv bo said that, while sha is one
or the most beautiful of women, she has a
voice of great natural strength and sweet
ness, which has received the highest culti
vation. Emil Fischer, the well-known
basso, is without a superior, and W. J.
Lavin. the New York tenor, while his voice
is, perhaps, not the strongest, is re
markable for its wonderful tone.
The violinists Bendix . and Wilczek.
both of whom have been heard here, have
been re-engaged. The fact that-Theodoro
Thomas and nis full orchestra will furnish
the instrumentation gives assurance that
this will be the greatest musical event In
dianapolis has ever known. But a May
festival could be nothing with nn melhcicnt
chorus, and there is where Indianapolis
will Oft found strong. The thorough train
ing that the majority of ladies aud gentle
men of the chorus have received in previous
years under th skilled director, Professor
Barns, will be found even better equipped
for the. approaching event than ever be
fore. The railroads have made a greater
concession thnn was made last yar, and
visitors from abroad can come to the festi
val at half fare, which is one-third lower
that last years rate.
BITS OF FASHION.
It is rumored that white tresses are "com
ing in" on the last wave of high fashion.
Combinations m dress are not only very
popular for daylight go wn. but most of the
evening toilets employ in their creation two
or more fabrics.
Claw-bammer basques are in perfect ac
cord with the skirt, 'Which is now called
npon to fit a woman almost as perfectly as
tho cuticle ox ner skin.
The sailor . hat again appears among
fashionable head coverings, bat it is lower
of crown and smaller of brim than ever.
and has thus dwindled to a style, fit only
lor young children.
Woven laces in apple green, baby blue.
shell pink and toast brown otter themselves
to the economical ones as a shield and a
bcautifior to last season's half-worn skirt of
satin, oengaline or surah.
Jackets and capes appear to be equally
favored, this spring, and the choice between
the styles is merely a matter of tvste. The
choice of material and garnitnre is a mat
ter of moans, as the range in these regards
is almost limitless.
Fashion has considerately stepped in
with a lull supply of plaitings. frills, gimps
And bauds of wide braid for the protection
against the ravages', of dust and wear of
the demi-train. as well as the more sensi
ble skirt which cleared the ground all
around.
Among old colors which are appearing
again is bntt or corn color. Corn-colored
muslin, organdie and chambery dresses are
trimmed with white Irish point embroider
ies, corn-colored china silks and bengalines
with Fedora lace flounces, aud lace bertha
and sleeve caps.
The increasing desire to rise above law
and rule is noticeable not only in dress and
its accessories, but in the matter of the
comnre. tew women dress their hair now
adays to suit the features of their neigh
bors or friends, but in accordance with
their own particular cast of countenance.
As a result, there is a pleasing medley of
styles to oe seen, and no one fashion ap
pears to take the lead.
