i XV W' 'G 1 'Z 1 WU bv yx THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR TUESDAY JANUARY 16 1912 '4 Teddy Tetzlaff win pilot the iat entry which has been made for the 500 mile race Memorial day instead of Joe Matson This was announced at the Speedway yesterday following the receipt of a telegram to that ef fect from the iat owners Tetzlaff has gained renown as a driver of the Lozier and iat cars holding the wheel of a Lozier in the last 500 mile race and being put out of the running after a smashup with the Pope Hummer driven by Louis Dis brow Tetzlaff competed in many Pacific coast races in the iat last fall with great success The at the downtown (Speedway office cut the strings on the seat reservations for the 1912 Memorial day speed battle on the famous Indianap olis brick course yesterday morning and a record' advance sale Is reported as a result of the first business In fact the biggest that the Speedway box office has ever experienced and this is taken as an indication that the demand for seats will be correspond ingly heavy up until the time for the staging of that International motor clas sic the annual 500 mile race May 30 Because of the 60 per cent Increase In the general admission fee and the big In crease in the price of the grand stand and box seats there was considerable Inter est In the result of the opening sale which took place yesterday Apparently the public is infected with the speed lust Just as badly as ever for every esti mate on the probable amount of business was outdone Many of the tickets sold yesterday may have found their way into the hands of speculators in spite of the effort made to see that all consignments went into the hands of responsible parties known to the Speedway management Local and state automobile companies and agencies carried off many reserved seat coupons and these represent the choicest of the available seats in the nu merous Speedway grand stands The en tire lot however Is but a small fraction of the available seats all of which will be placed on sale at a later date The largest single lot of tickets went to Tom Hay of Chicago who purported to represent the Chicago Motor Club Hay took 400 grand stand seats back to the Midway with him and also forty re serve coupons for the choicest box seats in the big grand stand facing the start ing line It is presumed that members of the Chicago Motor Club will fill these seats when red Wagner starts the in ternational motor battle again in May Aside from this single contribution to the Chicago man 265 box seats and 284 grand stand seats were sold to Indiana parties yesterday There was no great rush at the Speedway office but those In charge of the sale were kept on the bustle throughout the day in an effort to guard against possible speculation Specu lators were slow to grasp the opportunityto grab up quantities of seats the length of time between now and the start of the big race tempering their avarice General admission which last year was $1 has climbed up to $2 this year and box seats are sold at $7 a seat several sales of en tire boxes at $45 being recorded yester day CONTEST BOARD REPORTS In order to accommodate those promo ters of race meets who are

by the contest board of the American Auto mobile Association official action being taken at a meeting in New York last Thursday The disqualification "was made in July 1910 because the juris diction of the contest board was denied and an appeal to the courts was made for redress All Indianapolis motorists are familiar with the contention that attracted the attention of the entire motoring world The Premier driven by Ray McNamara was pronounced the winner of the 1910 Glidden tour by the referee but the contest board later rescinded the ruling on the allegation that the oiling appara tus of the

Tetzlaff Displaces Joe Matson at Wheel of iat ABOUTeTHEATEI 1 Victor cloth gold score gleamed with the same wonderful rich nesa and Emma Trentini's silver bell voice rang out with the same joyous clearness last evening at English's as they did a month ago and Marietta" proved herself a delightful re turn visitor This light opera is one of those works of art so genuine intrinsically that new beauties reveal themselves at exery repetition to a sensitive observer and the little Trentini la such a bundle of magnetism that her influence instantly darts through any artificial wall that the blase may care to erect on the theory they have and heard all that be or those reasons Mari is just as welcome on her second visit as she xvas on her first and more welcome than the big majority of new musical shows yet to visit Indianapolis this season are likely to prove Victor music is of the sort that does not wear out with one repetition nor a dozen nor twenty and where can there be found a voice that can send it across the footlights in such floods of tapture as When this wonderful little prima donna pours from her throat the Street Song" for example at the conclusion of the first act the soul of the listener leaps quite out of the realm of the commonplace and revels In a new region of life and laughter and glorious color Coldness of observation of technique is quite impossible as long as the little Italian singer is darting about the stage and therefore it is useless to try to de termine wherein lies her ability as an ac tress as profitless too as useless The fact that in her acting she does not jar on the sensibilities of her audience is proof abundant that she is a real actress as well as a real singer This fact be comes more apparent on second observa tion when the observer is not so apt to be carried away into fairyland by novelty as on a first acquaintance Mlle Trentini Is really a wonderful little technician to curb such an abundance of vitality into a proper channel and to prevent her sprightly mannerisms from striking dis cords and setting the nerves of her audi ence jangling Another fact that becomes clearer In a second performance is the unity of the score and coupled with this is the splen did care with which William Axt the mu sical director gives value to this unity Mr Axt too is an inspirational director having the power seemingly to electrify his musicians and the people on the stage and to bring all into a strong and beautiful harmony Mlle Trentini Is supported by the same company that appeared with her here in December Henry Taylor is still singing Orville splendid alling in Love With Some One" and he and Mlle Trentini are scoring together again In Never Can Be Love" and Somehow the comedy of Wil liam Welp and Harriet Mariotte did not seem quite so stilted as on their former visit having an occasional flash of spon taneity through its artificiality Their song I Were Anybody Else but Me" and Mr Pretty Soft for Silas" are richly comic in the music if not so much so in the words The little casquette girls will never wear out the catchy Vous" and the superb singing chorus Is as fine as before in for CLARENCE BULLEIT KEITH'S Will Cressy who has arrived at the dignity of grand old in the field of vaudeville playlets Is appearing at this week in a charac teristic role that of a New England vil lage lawyer who has attained to the dig nity of gray hair white beard and specta cles without becoming accustomed to the feel of a twenty dollar bill Blanche Dayne plays the part of a wealthy client from Boston a summer boarder in the vil lage who wants a divorce from a good husband on the flimsiest of grounds The simple little story developed is a mere trifle dramatically but it has in it the homely philosophy and quaint characteri zation that have made the name of Cressy potent in vaudeville equally as an au thor and actor The sketch has some thing of the effect of an echo from the past from the days of Old Home and Down old days" maybe not bad old days surely Speaking of the a mule" lineally descended from the an cient wagon circus created more uproarious laughter yesterday after noon than any other feature of the bill It was the same old somebody In trying to ride him But it was worked In a slightly different way and It was the difference that made it effective The three men who tried to ride the mule were trained In comedy falls and in their methods of handling the animal and they worked up the old crude Into a laughable The mule and his riders were the feature of Hickey's Comedy Circus MacConnell of the 13 is a comedian by right of his face and methods but he relies on a serie? of effective shocks to raise his act from the average to the class The fun had the till you nearly effect on matinee audience Lou Anger the is back with his monologue on war In which scorching satire is presented un der the guise of low German dialect comedy tongue twistings raised the accustomed laughs and prob ably some of the satire went home The Clark Trio present a little musi cal act containing nothing spectacular but pleasing all the way through A girl with a sweet voice lacking in vaudeville volume sings to banjo and guitar accompaniment and there are also instrumental numbers in which the banjos carry the melody Old Southern songs furnish the greater part of the ma terial upon which the trio work froid sa program term describes the act of the Wynne Brothers They perform feats of strength of a difficult sort In the coolest manner pos sible The coolness splendidly affected lends both comedy and tone to the act Rosa Grouch and George Welch lively are more lively than tal ented Their act except for comic manner of perching himself on a trunk was flat and Insipid yesterday afternoon Siems an adroit conjurer substitutes pantomime for patter and gives some effective new twists to old tricks The bill at this week as a whole is mild with a few spirited mo ments PARK The great fault of the average adapter dramatist in making a popular novel Into a play Is that he either tries to put everything in the book into the play or else he skips the main story The dramatized version of Harold Goose at the Park has been covered up In the flotsam and jetsam of the story It Is a wilderness of words to change the figure and so tiresome that one is glad when it is over And it Is not the fault of the book or the tbene that this fact must be chronicled for Murat Louise Gunning In Balkan Princess" last half of the week Mati nee Saturday English's Emma Trentini In Marietta" first half of the

a play There is the heart interest the thrills beautiful settings the and the and the king all there It Is a real story for the novel is gen erally conceded to be reading" The Bobbs Merrill Company the pub lishers of the novel will bear witness that the Story one of the sellers" The dramatist George Baker has failed to make a play out of It He almost loses the thread of the story In a maze of verbiage at times The first act could be cut two thirds left out altogether The other three acts would be 100 per cent better If cut to the bone There are too many words and not enough action or if you are pleased so to term It When sifted to real wheat the story Is a dainty one and quite romantic It has to do with the lives of two girls one who was found in a garret and made a princess and another whoso par entage Is shrouded In mist and tends a flock of geese In Bavaria The goose girl turns out eventually to be a she Is wooed and won by a grape picker who Is In realty a real king of a frisky little kingdom but who likes to run about the country The psuedo princess is of good blood and she is won by a member of the Ameri can diplomatic service a breezy sort of chap And it all ends happily Truly a romantic little tale but one would never gather this from the play unless he watched closely and picked it out of the mountain of words that hides it With much judicious trimming Goose can be made into a play well worth while The company presenting the piece is fairly well balanced and does good work with the material at hand Virginia Ackerman as Gretchen the goose girl is winsome when the playw gets down to brass tacks Victor Sutherland as Arthur Carmichael the American counsul does a good bit of work but his character is often strained to make a point James Lewis as Hang Grumback does prob ably the cleverest' characterization of any His part is just right and every minute he is passing something over the footlights Robert Ellis as Leo the King is generally convincing Marie Van as the tavern keeper is also good The others are not especially noteworthy and some of the characters could have been dispensed with entirely to the help of the play in general The scenic in vestiture is far above the average each act being beautifully set COLONIAL House on the a vivid picture of life on a Southern plantation was performed last night for the first by the Colonial drama
