10 DARK NIGHTS AT THEATERS Courege and Relf-Deuial Shown by the fummer Opera Principals. CMAHA GIRL WINNING NEW YORK HONORS tose Coghlan on Stock Co pt—William | This wn ~Stage Chat, ppantes Past and Crane Thinks r of Comedy Pres The Omaha theatrical season is now closed, and for two months there will be only occasional attractions of that order. Tho Boyd's senson closcd a week ngo, and the end of the summoropera engagement at the Farnam streot last night also marked the close of the season for that house. The regular season o Omaha will open with the first week in September, In the meantime the Farnam will have several attractions in July, including a sbort run of light opers and the Boyd will have a short summor senson that promises rich entertalument. (George Thateher's “Cupid on a Bicycle” will be there on August 5 and 6, Pr.mroso & West's minstrels August 9 and 10, “Tuxedo’ 19 aud 20, “The Easign” August 21, Frank Daniels, August 25, 2 Omaba has several” representatives on the stage who nie winning lnurels, and her peo- ple aro always gind to hear of the triumphs of these artists, Among recent notices 1s the following flattering mention in the New York Recorder of & gifted young lady who has many friends in this vity “Another young vocalist of ability is Miss Carrie Maude Penn who has recently come to New York from Omaha, Neb,, anda succeeded in charming her many audionces inst winter, Miss Pennock 1s a graduate of tho Nebratka state university, and_hor musical training previous to coming to New York was received in Milwaukee and Chi- cago under the best masters those ocities afford. Sho is giftea with u high soprano Voice. Tn person sho 18 of n dolicate blond type, tall and slendor, Hor voivo is aramatic in quality and she is preparing for conc er aud oratorio.” The experiment ot "a’ season of summer opera tried at the Farnam street theator has not proven a brilliant success, and it may bo considered as fairly well settled that the conditions aro ot ripe 1u Omaha for such an entorprise. Whils the weathor was cool there was n reasonably good attendance and alittle monoy was made. The first hot nights drove tho people eisewhere, and the business of tho last threo weeks was hardly enough to leave any profit, To complicato matters for the performers the putative owner of the enterprise went cast'and left them to shift for thomselves. In this emergoncy the principals ngreed that the mem by of the chorus should first re- ceive their salaries out of the company’s share of tho receipts and they would take their chances of a balance. It is hardly necessary to sny that there has boen no b ance, but by this heroic treatment the com- pany has been kept together and the prom- 1608 1o the public carried out. The company has made a contruct to play four weeks al ummer theater being erected at Garfield B h near Salt Lake, and if it proves saccessful the engagement may bo continued eight weoks longer. The company will leave today for the west and will oper: at the Beach on July 4. This week will be putin in relicarsing o in playig at Ogden. Peoplo have so much to say about the his- torically good old days of tho classio stock companics of London, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, etc., writes itose Coghlan, hut when wo come to 100k closely_into thoso times we find that tho work was hard and the pay was poor, and that if London got good acting it was boecause there was no acting at all out- side of London, except in the shecrest by storming on_the circuit bounded by wich, York, Liverpool and Bath, a dreary and ‘thankless round, on whict a Hamiot might earn £5 o week and a hing Claudius perbaps 15 shillings. ‘'he ambition of every descrving Thespian was to get into a London company, aud this competition kent down salarios. Siill salaries sufliclent to support the performers were certainly pald; tho stage of that poriod was a g0od one, and gavo riso to o greut deal of meoritorious play-writing, some of which we even now-reproduce with more or less satis faction to modern audiences, who, however, continually see less and less to ‘admire in *Joha Bull,” the “Hoir-at-Law” and the “Love Chase,” and compel managers to rop- resent ‘“adaptations” of the “School for cangal” and the “Rivals” ratuer than the genuir.o text. Perhaps we may say that we have the Ideal stage in the rare yet excellent stock companies now assembled in tho Un ted States, s0 few 10 number, and that ouractual stage is made up of many hundred companies who ench season, by various intricate com- binations and scries of dates, supply over 2,000 opera houses and theaters all’ over the United States. e The American stage of today is opulent in excellent comedians, says Willlam H. Crane in & recent magnzine article. Hand in hand with tho stock company tragedy has made its farewoll bow. We nead reliof from care; we do not covet the doubtful luxury of woe; the old tragedies are almost too much worn ; they are too familiar; our actors do not con them, aud do not covet parts that.call forthe daggor or the bowl; and nobody Wwrites new ones. I8 tho ssortion a bold one, is it unsup. vorted, that no American manager in this year 1803 would entertain or produce a maa- uscript tragedy, no matter who might be its author? It is an assertion in which I think 1 am justifiea. Thus we fall back on comedy, not ‘“as & last resort,”’ but because it is the natural evolution of the age and of our civilization. And our star systom, which oncourages tho caucation and development of indiviaual talent far moro than the stock company sys- tem, since the rewards of excellonce, and especialiy of very superior excellence, are vastly grentes, tends to produco and keep in constant activity a brilliant class of comio dramatic artists, Their routes are laia out for them, soats aro sola far In advance and tho knowledgo in December that the *take' for u given night, in January at some point bundreds of miles awny bas” been many hundreds of dollars spurs on the actor to Live up to the reputution thut thus runs beforo him and paves his way with gold, This stimulus acts not only upon tho star, but upon his com- pauy.

A ur ieading comedians’ are in constent touch with our playwriters, and they teach the latter what lines of dramatic incident to take and whot to ayoid, They arrive by un mistakable conclusions at the consensus of American opinion, and among tho first les- sona is this, that American families do not hanker aftér the spoiled drama of Franco, Ga ~ Dixey is playing in Bostou in “lolanthe,” Marie Jausen may do surymer opera in Boston.

The elasticity of comic_opora was well il- lustrated in the Yew York Casino's now work, “The Vice Admiral.” After rohears- ing 1t in oup form for six woeks 1t was con- cluded that it should be changed, and it was turned wrong end to, the last act being mado the first. Three rumors are current about Minnie Gale. One is that she will go right on act- ing, as usual; anothor is that to oblige hor husband she will limit her season to three months, and a third is that she will not act atall. Aud thoy all servejtho samo purpose of their being in advertising hor. The late F'rench composer, Ernst Guiraud, had a novel and effective way of prolonging his life. After his death ovor 2,000 unopened letters were found in his room. A Parisian journalist_accordingly caleulates that Gui- raud saved for his work several yoars which it would have taken bim to read and auswer all these lettors, In *‘Plontenclie™ the new romantic play by Harrison Grey Fiske und Minnie Maddern- Fiske, which James O'Neill will present next ‘seasou, several historical charactors, wcluding Louis XIV., the duc do Choiseul and Ls Pompadour, are introduced. Al- though the play will give a correct represon- tation of the brilliaut but corrupt court at Versailles, the plot is purely imaginative. A movement has been started in Philadol- phia to arrange for a testimouial perfor in nonor of Mme. Janauschek, who is s to retire from the stage full of 'honors, but, unfortunately, with no large fortune. ' Jan auschek is 63 years old, and has beon playing forty-two years, tha last twenty-five of which nus been devoted almost exclusively to the American stago. Pope L.eo XIIL is an accomplished musi- cian and 15 said to bo greatly troubled by tho condition in which he finds * the music of the church. He aspires to walk in tho footstops of the at St. Gregory, and has recently addressed a circular letier to the prominent composers of Buropo and America, request- iug their co-operation in his effort to bring about a reform in the domain of sacped music. This is a task that has taxed the reatest ninds of the chuich 1 ail nges. ‘The pope complains that the music of the church 1s *too mundane and theatrical.” The scenic artists of New York have formod an association for selt-protection. One of the chief grievances of the scenic painters who work by the ‘*job,”” as the best of thom now do, is tho faoct that their scenes aro sot, uot as they direct, but as the stage manager of the theater orders, Tho painters t that some of the best of their artistic effects are spoiled by the failure of the stage. manager to properly display them, and war upou this tyrant is to be begun at once. The planis for the artists belonging to the asso- clation 10 accept no work from a theater ex- cept on @ aistiuct agreement that their scenes, when comploted, shall bo set as they shall gictate. The Daly company will prosent “As You Like It” in the open air at Senator Farwell's suburban residence, near Chicago, next Thursday afternoon, for the benefit of a child’s home. Six hundred tickets are offered al £ each. The stage will be on the lawn. There will be no curtain, ana a chorus will announce the commencement of each act. Tho proscenium will be formed by natural trees, and on the stage itself an arrangsment of evergreens, maplies, oaks and firs will rep- resent tho forest of Arden. In tho distance, the waters of the lakes will glisten through the trees, aud on tho stage mossy banks will breaik the level of the lawn and afford a rest- ing place for weary Rosalind. The orchestra will be hidden behind a screen of saplings, d 1n the arrangement there will bo noth- ing to remind one of a theater. A remarkable scene occurred at St. James bull in London on the occasion of Pader- ewsk's only recital in Loudon during the present season. At the close of the pro- gram Paderewski returned to the platform five times and bowed his thauks 1o his en- thusiastic usudience. Tho applause contin- ued, and finally Paderewsky's manager an- nounced that the pianist was too fatigued to play again. This failed to appoase thoso present, and repeated calls were made for Paderewski who had withdrawn, He roap- peared, whereupon the well dressed mob in- vaded the platform, begeing him to play again, Reaching his seat with difficult; Paderewski performed Chopin's *Barea’ volle,” and then, at the request of & young lady who was leaning over his shoulder, ho played one of Chopiu’s valses, The cheering broke out again, and there was a struggle to secure & handshake from the artist.
