Esmond's latest play, "Imprudence," which was present ed" at English's last night before an audi ence of fair else and considerable.

It, may be bcredthat even the highest society la not entirely free from this offense, and that the people in this play are, to say the leat. at lesst a cut or two1 below the highest.

The house Darty In which the wrama takes place; Harlesdon "Manor, England, Is the home of a vulgar nouveau rich fat lady, who has married; a poor young fellow ot good family, whose friends It Is. for the most part, that till her house. The only person who seems to be in the party by the direct invitation of the hostess is Lady Duncan (wRhout a shred of decency? fPon me not a who has been a former lover of her husband. The Impropriety of this woman's presence In his wife's. house, Jim Greaves Is the first to recognise.

Jealous of her young and Jolly but band: vulgarly jealous aa such a woman might be expected to be, she ferrets among Jim's papers until she unearths a lot of old love letters, and taking Lady Duncan Into her confidence Is led to believe, by that adroit adventuress, that Jack Frere's fiancee. "Blily" Marr. i ia the guilty one. The scandal Is circulated; Is bandied about by rail the women of the bouse party and most of the. men and.

of course, reaches Frere. There is a bad onset. Miss Marr can not defend herself because she has no Idea or the gravity of the offense with which she la charged snd she Indignantly declines to see any need for an explanation. Jack Frere refases to believe the scandal: does little clever detective work; finds out who the woman waa who occupied the fiat with Jim Greaves, and in self defense as in defense of his sweetheart's good name, be force a confession from her. The confession harms no one.

since Lady Duncan has secured a millionaire, who takes her awsy to marry her within five minutes after the confession Is signed; it only helps to straighten out the tangle and to bring Jack and Mtxs Marr to ether happily and It is to be presumed, orever. But If the story of the play is ta slight thinr, and deals with subjects so dangerous that if they were printed in' a book one would hardly care to be seen reading It, It must be said that the acting was so good last night that It rather made one forget the morals of the play. Mr. Fa versham has not been seen in this city for some time, and ever since his good work in "Lord and Lady A he has been sure of a welcome. The I rreoent play does not give him a large opportunity; Indeed, in the hands of a less capable or less ma me lie man than himself it would not amount to much, but he is always convincing as the society lover; and it ia rather a pleasure to hear even commonplace lines well spoken.

There is a good humor, a eureness about all Mr. Fa vershara does that has its effect on his audience, and hw deserved all the applause he won nlsht. Miss Fay Davis, as Mar. Jack sweett)art. was un even in her work; never bad, but at some times much better than at There were motnenta but nlarht when she seemed to forget that she was sct lnar.

when a little laurh seemed to bubble spontaneously from her lips, or some involuntary gesture of the head or hands lent emnDasis to tne spoaen weros ana made one feel that she was tn earnest. In the second act she was at her best, and her tempest of indignation was all the more impressive that it was 'such a tempest to come from" so frail and tender a little woman. The best acting part In the play and the best acted is that of Jim Greaves, nlaved leyed by Richard Bennett. Indianapolis has pleasant recollections of Mr. Bennett since he did such excellent worlc in this city as the young priest in "A Royal Family." He is an Indiana man.

too. Mr. Bennett's acting Ust night was excellent, in other parts be has shown that he has not the slightest trace oi tne mannerisms he assumed' so well last night. and having assumed them he never let down once during tne evening, As he was in the beg.nning of the play he was at the end. It seems like harm ing twek a long distance, but his playing of the part of Jim Greaves last night reminded one nothing so much as the elder Sothern's playing of Dundreary many, many years ago!

The play was repeated this afternoon and the engagement concludes with a performance to night. NEW YORK ENTHUSIASTIC. Over Two Plays Which Have Already Pleased Indianapolis Audiences.

I Spec nl to The ItidianapolU News. NEW YORK, March 28. There has been enough "excitement" in the two new productions here this week to last the "regulars" for some time to come, and It would seem to be jthe fact that the successes are coming late this year. During the early part of the season it was necessary to write failure after failure, and now success after success is the rule. This week Mr.

tVm. Brady brought his" star and wife to the Herald Square Theater with a magnificent and entirely new production of Frances Aymar Mathews's play, "Pretty Peggy," and both play and actress scored an Instantaneous hit Jacob Lltt produced his "spectacular melodrama, called "The Suburban," at the Academy of Music, and convinced the public that in, the matter of realism the stage manager's art has been slumbering In Its infancy. The race scene in this play is one of the marvels of the decade. New Yorkers who ro in for that sort of entertainment do not seem to tire of the annual talks of Mr. Burton Holmes, who Is In the midst of a four weeks' series of his interesting lectures at Daly's Theater, afternoons.

In fact, interest in Mr. Holmes' stories of travel, illustrated as they are with moving pictures, appears to be growing, and big audiences are the rule. This naa toia two taies of Norway, which: have held the Interest of his listeners as few lectures do. ATer next week Mr. Holmes will begin bis annual tour ot the States.

'The Earl of Kosslyn has "went." He recently took his own play. "The Young Miss Pettlfer." on the road, it will be re rrnembered. He came back here on Sun dayand it is related with pride that the entire company rode back on varnisnea cars having canceled all engagements. Reason civen Mtes Beatrice Irwin, his leading lady, suddenly called to England. Lord Rosslyn Bailed for the same place on Wednesday.

Dn top of this is the announcement that tiie intended marriage between Rosslyn and Miss Irwin was also eanceled. along with the company dates. Suzanne Sheldon has been engaged an leading woman for Charles iuchman. "The Babies in Toyland" is the title of the new play on which Glen MacDon ourh and Victor 'Herbert are collaborat Ing. It anil be in the nature or a spectacular extravagaanza, and win be staged bv that past master, Julian Mitchell.

Margaret Ulingtop will not go en tour with sotnern ana miss aaran xruax win replace her in "If I Were King." The newspapers continue to marvel at the enormous crowds which pack the big Madteon Square Garden to see the circus. The annual revivail of talk of a permanent circus is here and the Barnum Bailey management ia being urged to try the experiment. i R. J. R.

Julia Marlowe and Eleanora' Duse. A stage box at he Criterion Theater InJ New York seemed! untenanted a few evenings ago. when Jtilia Marlowe was playing there, except at the end of each acti when a woman's figure came to the front, leaned over the irail impulsively, And white gloved hands applauded. It Was Duse paying her rlbute of affection and admiration to Julfa. Marlowe.

The friendship between the two started dnrlruj' Duse's firs visit to this country. Wwii she prophesied for Miss Marlowe honors that have come to her In re cer.z years. She (waj 'a her now to act abrod. and promises to prove "herself an a true phophet. "You A nake a furore In Italy." Duse told her 7iend in'a chat after the play that night.

"In Germany, too. where Shakespeare is 'lerstood so well, your Juliet, 1 know, be a triumph. And in England yot lj be. loved as welt as appreciated." Duse's opinion Khe American play was eagerly sought friend. She was sur Srtsed to find that iher ignorance of Jlng had put her tdonly slight disadvantage in enjoying "The Cavalier," its action telling; her the story of the play almost as clearly ias if she had understood what the actors were saying.

Duse remarked: "That is good enough for any country." She called the play, again and again, "human," and said It was a gratifying evidence of the gcod taste of the American theatergoers that a pretty, simple love story clean and wholesome should be so successful, "How much better the effect upon the public of a play of this kind than for instance." was the way she put it. 'The Cavalier" symbolizes Americanism to me." she said. "It is Just like the people themselves a Utile tragic, a little comic, a little continental strong, full of life and activity. It is melange.

In fact. You're a wonderful nationyon can do great things you can make lots of money. but and she stopped. Her eyes spHied the little word "art." and her shoulders shrugged a question mark. A Mrs.

Campbell Story. There have been many English players In this country this year, and nearly all of them have had what they term a characteristic story to tell of theirv ompatriot. Mrs. Patrick. Campbell.

A member of Mr. Hawtrey's company is responsible for ihe latest, which relates an incident that occurred during the original run of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" at George Alexander's theater. London. Mr.

Alexander played the part of Aubrey Tanqueray. ami I It is stated Mrs. Campbell frequently stood in the wings during his scenes ami made fun of him. Finally he sent her tin. following note: "Mr.

George Alexander presents his compliments to Mrs. Patrick and requests that she refrain In the fu ture from standing in the wings and laughing at him during his scenes." I In a very few moments a return mos sage was presented to Mr. Alexander in his dressing room, which read as follows: "Mrs. Patrick Campbell presents her compliments to Mr. George Alexander, and begs to state that she aoes not stand in the wings and laugh at htm during his scenes she waits until she returns home." George Ade's Humor.

Now In Its third month at the Studtba ker Theater Is Gedrge Ade's "Peggy from Paris." According to the critics, "Peggy" is a greater success than "The Sultan, of Bulu," and might continue through the summer except for the fact that Mr. Savage designs It for his annual summer production at the Tremont Theater, in Boston. Excerpts from Ade's lines In "Peggy" give the Impression that the author is more philosophical than satirical In his latest stage work. He has held more closely to tho style that made his "Fables in Slang;" popular. When Lutie Plummer returns from the Galesburg conservatory and appears at the Hickory Crick musi caie, wiih a new song, her father remarks dryly: "I didn't care much for the tune, and I couldn't catch the words, but the rest of it was all right.

Following are a few of the lines from I "Perrv from Paris" that are causing Chi ca go people to laugh: "I never knew a man that liked his wife's singing." "A wise girl never keeps anything from her maid." "Out West here all girls are young and Innocent." "We're not using "music; this is comic "Everv man that hasn't a daughter knows Just how to manage one. A girl never falls In love with a dozen; there's always one." "When I make love to you they'll have to use asbestos scenery." I "n'lWe knew him first as Will Hart 1 I. I .,11 in Eurorje." "Peggy's pet snake has swallowed the J2O.O0O necklnce given her by the King of Abysslnlr I hope it doesn't get in the newspapers." Notes of the Stage. Another benefit performance, which is certain to have the support of public sympathy. Is that which Amelia Bingham is arranging in behalf of Clara Morris.

This will be given in the Broadway Theater on the 14th of April. It is said that three of Maurice Maeter linck's plays. "Monna Vanna." "Jay sellc" and "Aglaraine et Selysette. will next season be presented In America by a French ccmpany which will include the author's wife. Georgette Le Blanc, and of which Arnold Darmont will be the leading man.

Frank Keenan will next season return tn the regular stage in a dramatization of Balzac's Pere Gorlot" and another piece of a lighter vein. Mr. daughter Hilda may be seen in the company.

MARCH 30 APRIL THE OUTLAW OUANTRELL WAS HIS JOHN G. HARRISON'S INTERESTING RECOLLECTIONS. ONCE WITH "FREE STATERS" Row Over Division of Loot Caused Quantrell to Organize Pro Slavery Band of Outlaws. In a cottage at Columbia avenue lives John G. Harrison, the blacksmith.

He spends his days at a forge in the Atlas engine works, and even his shop mates do not know that his life has woven round it the dark tragedies of the Quantrell period in the history of Kan JOHN BROWN. sas and Missouri. Harrison's head has been silvered by the years, but his memory of the bloody days of the late 50's remains unblurred by time. Harrison sat at his fireside the other evening. He drew his chair up to the stove, relighted his pipe and then as sumed his favorite reminiscent attitude crossed head against the back of the chair and elbow bent so that he could hold his pipe up and look squarely over Its bowl.

"Did I know Bill Quantrell?" he began, 'Deed I did, sir. His right name was William Alfred Hart Quantrell. I ran close my eyes now and see him in my 'mind's eye just as plainly as I did In the days when he was the schoolmaster of Osawatomle. "That was out In Kansas, you know. He waa about twenty seven years old when I went to Osawatomie with my parents.

We moved overland from Wisconsin there were forty families In the wagon train and settled at the then small village of Osawatomie. The village schoolmaster was regarded as a maa Of fine Intelligence, and he could talk on every subject so. fluently that we regarded him as an extraordinary man. Tne Transformation. "We grew to know him better after we had been there about a year.

was thlr teen years old then. We went there in 1858 and the next year saw the school master turn from a quiet, unassuming man to the greatest outlaw of the age. Quantrell would never be taken for a leader of men. He was about five feet fix inches tall and weighed less, than 110 pounds. He had sandy hair and a keen gray eye.

"in 1SSS we saw the bitter feeling that existed between the free of Kansas and the Pro Slavery advocates of Missouri, resolve itself Into a spirit of war. The pro slaveryitea would Invade Kansas and burn and sack the villages. Osawatomie was the hotbed of the Kansas free staters, consequently we stood in constant fear of being murdered or burned to death. "I will never forget the night that started William Alfred the real Quantrell, on his mad career. Yes, his right name was Quantrell.

but he liked the name of Hart best. I don't know why he took the alias. WelL one night in 1S53 he led a party of Kansans on a sacking trip to Osceola, Mo. They simply cleaned out the town and carried their booty back to Osawatomie. The plunder started the trouble.

Quantrell wanted to dictate how the plunder Should be divided, but the rest of the outlaws objected. Then they SCHOOLMASTER began quarreling. It twmedi Into a. right snd In the midst of it Quantrell Jumped up ana yeneo: 'By all that Is holy I will never be with the free staters i Kept Hit "He kept his word. That night Quantrell disappeared rom Osawatomie and was heard from a week later at Stanton, Kas.

My father snd a' committee of cfUxens went to Stanton and tried to induce Quan trell to return to Osawatomie. The! fact was that Osawatomie missed his splindld leadership. He refused to go pack to Osawatomie i and from ithat night began a war on everybody land everything. Once Quantrell shot a my father because he was trying to Influence him to become a law abiding cltlxen.l Yet, with ail of it, he land father remained good friends. "Th5 next' saw of Quantrell was late In October, 1K3, when he entered Kansas City at the head of his band of detxra does, which included the Jameji boys, the Younger brothers and the rest ot his bad crew.

My father and I were in Kansas City when the Quantrell gang rodei into the city. They held Kansas City in their clutches. Like mad demons theytrode through the streets and took nossessllrjn or the Diveley Chicken Company's plant and offices. They looted the place and left town at sundown. They held father and mejin aer wieir guns ana wouiu noi ici usaeve rx.

a npua vuy until oars. "The last time I saw Quantrell and his gang was at a place called Brush Creek Station, Kas. He and his gang rode into tnere one nignt wane my rather snd i were at the tavern. The tavern I was crowded with people, and they made us all fret out of bed and come down into the dln ng room In our nightclothes. We had to stand there while they ate their supper.

One Man Killed. i "One 'poor devil, a man named Gordon. was killed because he refused' to i obey their orders. That night Quantrell left the tavern and I never saw him again, although I heard of his terrible deeds for a long time. I recall his terrible work at Olatha, where he and ITS men burned and sacked the town and killed a number of persona He was a little terror.

I shall never forget how he looked." Old John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame was from Osawatomie, too, was he not?" Oh. yes." continued the blacksmith. "I knew old man Brown and will never forget the day he marched out of Osawa tomie on his mission of slave freeing. 1 ou know he thought he could organise a great army of negroes and could get them to fight for their freedom. And wasn't it a strange dream for an old man to have? How well I remember my father warning him against taking the step he did.

He had about twelve or fourteen men with him. When he was ready to start he made an impassioned speech in the streets of Osawatomie In which he deciared that he was going to go forth to battle for the freedom of the Sniggers of Missoury." i Brown Hard Nerve. "I remember that two millwrights, the CTily ones left In Osawatomie, went with Brown and the people were afraid that there woold be a famine In floor. They left town at midday. History tells the rest of old John Brown's story.

Do you remember how he died on the gallows at Charleston? How he declared that he had no favors to ask of Governor Wise nor of the State that he represented! That took nerve, didn't it? Old man Brown had more, nerve than sense. He was illiterate but a braver man never drew breath, "His sons were killed In the streets of Osawatomie In 1S56 and their bodies now rest in a grave on the banks of the Marisdlszygyne river at Osawatomie. Old man Brown's body was brought back there and buried by the side of his sons. "Quantrell and old man Brown live In my memory as If I had seen thm but yesterday. Until my dying day I shall remember the Incidents In which my life and theirs were connected." And the old blacksmith took another whiff at his pipe.
