\ ROMANCE N MAIDEN NAMES h\lt Sidnoy Drow Prefors That His Wife Depend on Merit. JOHN L. SULLIVAN HURT BY CRITICISM Tho United States Marine Band Secured by the Apollos—The News of Omal Musieal Clreles — The- atrieal Chat, Mr. aud Mrs, Sidney Drew, who have just slosed an eneagoment at the Boyd theater, Are a couple of young actors in whom there s an unusual public interest. _The busband 13 tho son of Mrs. John Drow, who Was ro- cently seen in Omaha with Jofferson’s com- pany in “The Rivals,” Mrs. Drow is not only a famous actress, but she 1s notable for haviog managed a Philadelphia theater for thirty yoars, The younger Mrs, Drow was Miss Gladys Rankin, daughtor ot McKeo Rankin. She was only 17 when she was mar- ried, soveral years ago, and had just begun har stage earecr. Both these young actors come of excellent thentrical stook, and they also have a social staading which brings them many flattering s{tentions wherever they go. Their devotion to eacn other is idyllic,and it has won them a personal admiration quite apart from their professional work. “When we decided on our present ven- ture,” said Mr, Drew, in conversation the other aay, *‘It became necessary to decide on the mothod of using our names. Acting on the advice of my mother, who recalled a number of examples to enforce her argu- ments, we determined to begin our carcers as stars under tho title of Mr, and Mrs, Drew. It is customary for married ladies on the stagoe to retain their maiden names in adver- tising and newspaper matter, the theory beink that more men will be attracted to their porformances. I think I understand the ro- mantic interest which young men may con- celve for singlo ladies on the stage, but I had rather my wife should win her place in public esteem on her merits as an artiste. Our friends advised us against this course, but ‘we have no reason to regret it. It may be that we are losing some business which ‘woutd come to us under the ofd systsm, but on the other hand I think we are building up asohd rcsscct among a substantial class of people, and we hope to realize the benelits of 1t in the future. “Itis three yoars since I was in Omaha, and I notice wonderful improvements even in that short time, 1 was altogother in the east for several years until we began this tour. Some years ago I determined not to play any role unless I could originate it. I expected opposition from managers, and was not _dis- appointed. It may have delayed my oppor- tunities for development in some directions, but there were compensating advantages,and 1 finally carried my pownt. “‘We usesn curtain raiser because ‘That Girl from Mexico’ is a little short to fill the evening. We could make it do by lengthon- 1ug the walts betwoen the acts, but I have an idea that it mars the effectof u lively comeay to have the continuity broken by long waits. We first used ‘Barbara’ a delicate little thing by Jorome K. Jerome, butit is too i \r}mm and is written above the heads of the orage audionce. You understand? It had 00 part for me, and that, I think [ can say without egotism, was an objection, People naturally havo an interest in the stars of a play, and asI was not afraid of work I sought @ curtain raiser that would better please the public and afford roles for both my wife and my- self. ‘In Honor Bound' is hi Syaney Grundy, has bright lines and teaches a pretty seutiment of forgiveness. Omaha saw our first public porformance of 1t." John L. Sullivan "alstinguished himself during his Omaha engagement by publicly scoring the logal gontieman who' act as eritic of ono of tne daily papers. On the nigat of his second performance the cham- plon received a curtaiu call, and he improved the opportunity to make a speach, in which he made somo very caustic remarks about the courageous critic. In privato conversa- tion he took oceasion to deny many of the stories circulated about him since going upon the stage, and 1t was evident that ho foll some of them keenly. He denounced the yorn about deadveating his company’s way on a Kansas train as a lie made out ot whole | cloth. He denied the numerous reports of drunken brawls, and asevidence of their | falsity asserted that he had not missed a per- formance during the ontire tour. Whilo in | Beattlo Francis Murphy came to him and asked him to sign the pledge. Sullivan re- Sused saying: (" “You're playin’ a good game, Mr. Murphy. You stick to your craft and V'll tend to mine.” But it was announced in the papers the next day that the champion had donned tho blue ribbon and would make a speech that evening at the Murpb{ meeting, which was held atalow dive. It attracted a crowd, but of course John L. was not there, The pugilistic actor is especially indignaut @t bis troatmert by some reporters. He charges that after interviewing bim they at- tributo to him remarks that ure not his and briug ridicule upon him, According to his manager he has been in- terviewed by men who were not reporters but assumed that guise In order o meot and talk with him. AMONG THE MUSICLANS, Mr. J. W. Cotton has taken up a very peau- Liful worlk to be given by the surpliced and | supplomentary choirs of Trinity cathodral. Ttisone of Dudley Buck's latest composi- tions, Itisarranged for chorus, solos and organ, and will be a delightful coloring to the sombor character of the approaching Lenten soason. ‘'he name of the oratorio, as 1t may be called, is ““The Story of the Cross,” and Is a very appropriate work for the dark days which precede the glorious dawn of Easter- tide, inasmuch as it describos, in an intelli- gent, artistic manner, the Passion of the Bavior, * . s A choral union has been organized in con- nection with the Methodist Episcopal churches of the city, It is the idea to form a sel(-supporting orgaaizution which will glve to the public some choral works in the sea- 8on of 1892-08, With the assistance of the First Methodist Episcopal quattette, Mrs, e “vww="Cuhn, Miss Amsden, My, Brockenridge and Mr. L. 8, Copeland, on solo work, it is hobed at this socioty will do much to assist ih the advauce of music in Omaha.

Butier, who has organized the concert,and will play a few plano goln-. ) The Philomela quartet has boen intrusted with & program for the Ladies' Musical society concert to be given next Saturday. The Apollo club has once more undortaken the responsibility of an engagemont with Theodore Thomas and his celebrated or. chestea. Negotiations are now pending, and 1t Is oxpected that this talonted company of artists will soon bo here. If they mmod they should be welcomed by & crowde house, becanse the Apollo club is doing everything that is possible to strengthen themseives financially for their closing con- cert, The production of Mendelssohn’s divine oratorio, “Elijah,”" will require an augmented orchestrs, and many minor expenses will have to be incurred in con- noction with it, and money is needed. The clup chorus has been largoly increased, and those who are anxious to help should apply without deiay, before the limit is reachod. * Tho Lotus glee club of Boston is another coming attraction, Their concert will be given 1n the Young Men’s Christian associa- tion ball, sad judging from the improssion they mado last year they will be well worth hearing. The club consists of male voices only, and of unusually good vocalists. Miss Marshall also reappears with them as a reader, - The Whitnoy Mockridge concert company will pay Omaha a visit. They will appear about the third week in March. The exact date 18 not as yet known. It will undoubt- edly be an exceptional treat for Omaha's musical citizens to hear this strong company of artists, Mr. Mockridge has often been heard in connection with the Apollo club and his ballad singing has been warmly ap- plauded and appreciated. He is accompaniod on this tour by Mrs. Mayo Rhoades, soprano, Miss Belle Warner Botsford, violin virtuoso, Mr. Arthur Beresford, basso, and Miss Hattie Mockridge, pianist, THE THEATERS. For this week Hanlons' great spectacle, “Fantasma,” will be theattraction at Boyd's New theater. Since last seen here two years Ago the piece has been changed to s great oxtent, so that it wiil scarcely be recognized as being the old “Fantasma.”” Thers are a very few attractions that can come to Omaha and play o whole week to succossful busi- ness, but *‘Fantasma’ is one of the fow, as has been evinced on two provious occasions. This company opens at Bovd’s New theater tonight (Sunday), continuing till Saturday night next, with matinces Wednesday and Saturday. W. T. Carleton’s fomous opera company playing to popular prices 1s anovel and - teresting sight, and it is only owing to the energy and enterprise of Manager Burgess that Omaba will have an opportunity to hear a thoroughly first-class company at prices which can bo reached by overybody. Be- ginning with nday matinee, March 6, the Carleton company will give ten performances at the Farnam Street theater of the prin- clpal operas of the day, and at popular prices, too. Hitherto Carloton’s prices have always been $1.50 for the parquet. but this time he plays to the regular Farnam Street theater prices. The repertoire will consist of the latest Paris, London and New York success, Strauss’ ‘‘Inigo,’ for Sunday matinee and evening. Mondav and Tuesday nights, Wednesday matinee and Friday and Saturday nigh “Nanon” Wednesday night and Saturday matinee, and *“Erminio” Thursday night. The same performances will be given by this excellent com- pany as were given in all the large cities of the country and the same spe- cial scenery wiil beused. 1'hese performances by the Carleton company have received the highest praise from the press all over tho United States and the management promises that no expense will pe spared to make the engagement & memoradlo one to the music loving population of Omaha. Seats will bo p]m‘é on sale Thursday morning next at 10 o'clock. The “Now Fantasma” requires two car loads of trick scenery and fifty people in the cast. “Fantasma,” as presented heretofore, has been a very popular success with all classes of theatergoers, but as offcred this season with all the wonderful improvements invented by those generous caterers to tho public taste—tho Hunlons —durinz thesum- mer months, the pleco reaches tho acme of perfection in stage art. The picce has been entirely rewritten and rearranged. It is almost enirely a new pro- duction. The first act opers with the ‘‘Hag's Retreat,” in which Hagwrath, a diminutive demon delivers his message from his master, Zamaliol, commanding the assistance of tho witches in his diavolical scheme to entra the fair Lena., Then follows a weird da io which tho most prominent feature visible is tho entanglement of arms of mammoth di- mensions, two pairs of which might casily reach across the stage. In the next scene— the village home of Liena—is introduced I , who Is always geltiog into trouble of somo kind, and who, indeed, fills all the comic scenes in tho piece. His adventure with the magic lamps, the animated gate, and the false steps are simply sidosphitting. Tho Skeleton Pass, another clever pieco of me- chanism, reveals & number of skelotons, into whose midst poor Pico has accideatally fallen, and who make tho most of his pres- enco by resorting to all sorts of pranks, winding up with a prize fight for nis special delectation, The latter was capi- tally done, tho positions aud wovements of the arms having evidently been arranged by some one well up in tho tactics of the manly art. Following tho skeleton scene a dozen or more bears appear and chase Pico into a log hut which they demolish, leaving only the chimney standing, with Pico on ton in a very awkward position until his eventful rescue by the good fairy Serenn. The scone ut the “Bottom of the Sea,”the great success of last season, the Hanlons have retained, and much improved by the addition of new comic business, In tho second act a ghostiy miauet, danced by knights and ladins, wus very neatly exocuted and well merited tho nearty appladse with which it was roceived. Probably the most striking and original scene in “‘Fantasma” is the “Grotto of the Magic Fountain,” a combination of beautiful colors and haudsomo faces, A novel feature in this sceno, vented by the Hanlous, is the revolving tableaux. At a given signal about thirty ladies on pedestals, inciuding a foun- tain of statuesque figures are seen to revolve noiselessly; the effect is extremely beauti- ful. Following “Fantasma' at Boyva's next week, come Lfe Ellsler and copany with the veteran actor C. W. Couldock, *‘Hazel Kirke” will be tho piay. The engagement is for three nights, Sunday, Monday and Tues- day, Marcn 6, 7 and 8. For the remuwmder of the week the Bostonians will havo the bourds of Boyd's, producing De Koven's protiy opera “IRobin Hood," and perbaps several others, althougn the repertoire has not vet been deciaed upon. The Bostonians ure huy- Ing groater sucooss this seasou than ever before, and are much stronger artistically. The Dowling-Hasson compauy will vpen a woek's engagoment at the Karnam street theater, Leginning with a mativee toduy. This will be tho first appearance of this famous organization in Omaha, but they come very strongly endorsed by the press of St. Louls, Chicago, and several othor of tho prmul‘ul olties of the east, where they ure publiely known as the producers of ‘high class western aramas, having succossfully produced them for the past teu years, Tney will produce their two best plays hore, “Nobody's Claim"” and “The Red Spider,” opeuing with the former and contivuirg until Wednesday evcning. *Nobody's Claim" is perhaps the longest- lived play of its oclass, and it 18 beyond question the most successful. It portrays lifoin the far west as it really is, #ad does not resort to a superabundance of shooting, Indians, ete., for its success, as is usually the case in plays of this type. Tho play itself is a strong, well written drama, with san intensoly interesting plot, and its characters are corvect and just such as may Do soenla tho far west even up to the present day. Mr. Dowling is a spleadid to the success of his heroic portrayals. Miss Hasson, as a rough soubrette, is peeriess,and her performance of “Madge” | rars character study, The supporting compiny throughout is far above th average four productions of this kind, a ability and reputatios T of the show is superb, il spocial, aud there is u car load of it carvied —*Car- los,” the maguificent Kentucky thoros bred colt, will bo also seeu at every perform- | ance.

Howill talk about the *‘Congested Humor of Old Englana,” and give his own original ideas as to “How we shall keep our wives at home evenings.” But Nye will not be the only attraction at tho Pross club. Mr. A. P. Burbank, one of the very best monologue entertainers on the stage, will also assist the former editor of tho Boomerang in entertainicg what promises to bo one of the largest audiences assembled in Grand this season. Mr. Burbank's record of over 3,000 entertainments, and his invariablo re-ongagements, are sufficient guarantee of his high excellence. His eater- talnmonts are in effoct the happiost combination of the lecture and dramatio Por!urmnncu yot discovered wherewith tode- ight and instruot the intelligent and appre- clative of all classes, He is one of the most finished actors on the American stage; whose pathos and humor are blended in the most delightful manner possible.

New Provisions Under Which Men may En- 1ist in the Army. The medical department of the army is at present deeply interested in the matter of en- listing men from civil life to serve in the hospital corps of the army. Enlistments will be taken at Fort Omaha, Fort Logan, Col., Fort D, A. Russell, Wyo., and Fort Douglas, Utah, The following circular issued by the sur- goon general will be of interest to those who Tay think of eulisuing in this particular line of government servico: Circular of Information, Tho hospital corps of the army consists of privates, privates assigned as actitg hospital stewards and hospital stewards, A number of vacancies occur in these grades from timoe to time which may be filled by enlistment from civil lifo and subsequent promotion. Applicants for enlistment must be between tho ages of 18 and 50 years, unmarried, of good character and habits, able bodied and froe fron aisease. Such wminor defects of vision as may bo corrected by glasses aro not regarded as o bar to enlistment. All enlist- ments are for the grade of private, but pro- vision i3 made for the speedy promotion of those who show themselves to be earnest, tnteliigent, capable aud trustworthy. The term of service is five years, but it may be terminated carlier if the individual is desirous of returning to eivil iife. Under the act of June 16, 1800, and existing rulos prescribed by the president in uccordanco therewith, a soldier in his first enlistuent, after having served ono year, may purchaso his discharge for 3120, with u reduction of $5 in the purchase orice for every subsequent month until he completes three years of ser- vico, when, if ho has served honestly and faithfully, he is entitlod to a furlough for three months with pay and tho privilege of discharge ut the expiration of the furlough. “U'ho pay of tho hospital steward 1s $15 per mouth, of the actiug hospital stewacd hy aud of the privato §13, From the pay of the first year as given above $4 por mouth 1s rolained, but this re tained money togother with $1 per monta for tho third year of cnlisument, 32 per month for tho fourth year, and $3 per month for the fifth year, in addition to the rates enumerated above, will be paid to the soldier upon dis- charge, provided he has served honestly and faittifully. Tho sums thus retained will be treated as deposits upon which interest at the rate of 4 per cent per aauum will bo paid from the ond of the yearof the soldier’s en- listment 10 which they accrued. As regards the pay of the private the sur- geon general has recommendad vhat if, be i creased to $1) per wonth, and it is hoped that fovorable uction will be taken, by the secro- tary of war and congress on this recommen-— dation. In addition to their pay membevs of the hosital corps receive from the government quarters rations, clothing, bedding, etc. iho money allowance for clothg is such that with care a considerablo sum . may bo savod to be added to that whjch is paid on dis. charge. £ ‘I'ne accepted candidate for enlistment is attached av first to one of the companies of instraction at Iort Riiey, Kau., or Fort D.

He is ulso taught by practical demonatrations and recitations tho knowl- edyro that is neodful to enable him to do bis duty iutelligently as a sanuary soldice. and to appreciate what are the requisites for promotion in the corps. When properly qualificd by this course of instructiou the regruit is sent to some military station for duty Privates who hiave served for one vear or more and who have displayed particular merit are recemmended to the surgeon gen- oral for assiznment to duty as acting hospi- tal stewards. A materiul increase of pay already stated, is attached Lo these appoint- ments.

Passed candidates exumined ator about tho samo time take precedence for appointment in the order of relative mevit as shown by the results of their examination.
