CLOSE OF THE WARDE-JAMES ENGAGEMENT “Richard 111" Capably Presented at Boyd's Last Night—Cody-Balley Agreemout an Important One—Coming of Salvini in Komuntic Drama and Comedy. The Warde-James combination closed its engagement at the Boyd last night. The theater was comfortably filled to see ‘‘Richard 11" played, with Frederick Warde in the lead- ing part. Mr. Warde had a much better op- portunity to demonstrate his powers as an actor in the character of the ambitious duke of Gloster, afterward the tyrannical Richard III, king of England, than in the character of Prince Hal in “Henry IV.” Mr. James as earl of Richmond did not appear before the audience as often as was desired, but he was_enthuslastically received at each ap- pearance. Mr. Linsley, as duke of Bucking- ham, played the part acceptably, and Miss Chapman, as Lady Anne,was above the aver- age. Last night's performance closed a suc~ cessful engagement for the company. No recent transsction in the amusement line has excited more genulne Interest than the deal between the Buffalo Bill Wild West double length raiflway cars to move the or~ ganization, which will embrace over 1,000 men and horses, Salvini begins his annual engagement at Boyd’s theater tomorrow night, and the re- gard in which he iIs held by local theater- goers makes the occasion of more than ordi- nary moment. During his present stay Mr. Salvini will .be seen in his latest and most radical departure, that of light comedy. He is sald to have in the new romantic comedy, ‘‘The Student of Salmanca,” a very welcome addition to his repertoire, It fs said to be replete with tutmultuous, rollicking and ex- uberant mirth ,and that the character of the student allows Mr. Salyini full scope for his powers. The play has a well de- fined plot which may be followed with ease, Which, with its serious interest, notwith standing its broad blustering fun, Is sald to remove it an infinite distance from the world of farce. Salvini will appear tomorrow night as the roystering, dissipated yet honorable adventurer, “Dor. Caesar de Bazan,” whose follles hurt few but him- selt, who needed but the civilizing influence of a good woman to make his virtues become apparent. It was in this play that Salvini made his first success as a star. The new comedy, “The Student of Salamanca,” will be the bill on Tuesday night, and he will close his limited engage- ment on Wednesday evening in the role of D'Artagnan, the hero of the “Three Guards- men,” a character, which in these days be- longs to him as uniquely as does “Rip Van Winkle” to Joseph Jefferson. The support- ing cast which has not materially changed since Salvinl's last visit, includes William Redmund, John A. Lane, William Harris, Eleanor Morett!, Maud Dixon and Augusta de Forrest. ‘“The Derby Winner,” as euphonius in title show and J. A, Balley, and o many con- |88 It Is artistic In success, and which has flicting versions of the intent, purpose and business relations as they really exist be- tween Colonel Cody, Nate Salsbury and Mr. Bailey have been circuluted, and all are so far form the real facts in the case, it seems like a valuable bit of news to give a true solution of the transaction. In the first place ‘no partnership relations have been formed, and by the text of their compact nothing that can be construed into a partnership is mem- tloned, but it may be stated, on authority, that a purely business arrangement has been made, whereby the experience, energy and abllity of all these gentlemen are united in the common cause of making the Buffalo Bill show the only and most important or~ ganization of the kind in existence, and to at- tain this end the happy aliance was brought about. When it was deemed expedient to tour the country with their great outfit, Messrs, Cody and Salsbury naturally soughi the most plausible and experienced way in which to do s0, and negotlated with Mr. Bailey to furnish the equipment and or- ganized force to practically handle the great enterprise and make the dally movements an absolute certainty. After mature delibera- tion.a plan was devised whereby Messrs, Cody and Salsbury might retain all rights, name, fame and dignity of the Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World, and present their famous exhibition under thelr personal direction, and at the same time avail themselves of the well known managerical ability and generalship of Mr. Bailey, who brings to them a complete out- fit In the way of rallway cars, canvas, ‘wagons, stock and all the essentials necessary to transport, erect, remove and conduct the outside affairs of the magnificent entertain- ment, whickr will be presented on an enor- mous scale, and an entirely new method as to seating and general arrangement of the canvas, which is designed In the form of a bollow square, with an open center, totally unlike a cireus tent; and, as a matter of fact, there will be nothing in the whole ex- hibition at all suggestive of the circus pers formance, it being the wise policy of all con- cerned to make the .Wild West peculiar to itself. It has been intimated that the Fore- paugh show, of which Mr. Bailey is the sole owner, would cut & prominent figure in the Wild West exhibition. This Mr. Bailey em- hatically denles, and says that the name of repaugh will not be mentioned in any way, and I-h:{ Buffalo BUll, with his congress of riders, is quite enough to satisfy the most ex- Mlu public, and nothing could be added that would in any way increase the I achleved a distinctive triumph since its Inaugural dash at St. Louis last summer, Wl bo the attraction at the Empire theater for four nights, beginning Sunday matinee, It will be a return engagement and the lovers of amusement in Omaha will have an exceptional opportunity of witnessing this highly successful racing and comedy drama. “The Derby Winner” is from the pen of Alfred H. Spink, editor of the Sport- Ing News of St. Louis, and manager of the Southside Electric Light Race Track, the only one In the world. The play is not only strong in plot, but it s a revelation In its splendid scenic triumphs, which are so true to nature. The company is composed of artists who have long since made their reputation upon the stage. While it s un- usually large, the demands of the play re quire exceptional numerical strength to in- terpret its varied characters; besides the array of talent in the cast, in the great racing scene in the play are introduced seven famous thoroughbreds, headed by Old Free- land, “the greatest race horse in all the land.” The other fiyers are Anawan, lanthe, La Cigale, Miss Price, All-a-Blaze and Remedy. The opening scene of the play re- veals a beautiful and life-like representa- tion of General Grant's old log cabin, show- ing the river Des Peres, the stream that General Grant swam to save Julia Dent, and whom he afterwards married, and to the right on the background is seen the little church where General Grant married Julla Dent. Suddenly there bursts upon the scene another view, equally ar- tstle in effect, and the change to which is so quickly made that it does not fail to arouse the enthusiasm of the audence. This scene shows the famous Cherokee gar- den of St. Louis in the foreground, and back of its archway of electric light 1s a faithful and life-like reproduction of the Southside Electric Light Race Track. The great stable scene opens up in act second, and it is here the race horses are enjoying their evening meal in the stalls, and the stable boys, touts, hangers-on and trainers are enjoying thelr evening diversion singing, dancing, shooting craps and playing cards. Then comes the celebrated race scene, introducing all the great thoroughbreds which the com- pany carries. In “The Derby Winner" com- pany are such well known favorites as Arthur Dunn, the biggest little comedian on the stage; Jessle Hatcher, who takes the part of the gay and dashing widow to perfection; Frank Dayton, formerly with Frohman; the heroine, Olga Verne; the villian, Porter J White, formerly with Louls Merriam's com- pany, and Miss Mina Genell, the charming artists of the company. Fully fifty people are engaged in the cast, and the play Is with- out exception one of the most attractive and elaborate productions seen this year, ‘“Yon Yonson” comes to Boyd's this (Sun- day) evening with Gus Heege in the title role. This Swedish dialect play enjoys the distinction of being the only play of its kind that has been unqualifiedly endorsed by the public. It has to its credit four seasons of great prosperity, and it has been praised wherever it has been seen for its originality, quaintness and humor. It contains all the elements of a popular play, while presenting an_accurato representation of life in the lumber ‘regions of the northwest as well as a character as distinct and original a_creation as Jefferson’s Rip or the elder Emmet's Fritz, with both of -which it has been fayor- ably compared. The story, while interesting and amusing, and full of bright comedy, is secondary in importance to Mr. Heege's re- markably faithful and finished portrayal of the Swede. It s this which raises the play to the level of an original comedy creation. The plece is most elaborately mounted, Paul Dresser, the well known song writer and composer, ' is underlined at the Empire for a four-night engagement, commencing Sunday matinee, January 27, when his new comedy, “'A Green Goods Man,” will be pro- duced “for the first time in this city. Mr. Dresser is well and favorably known to Omaha playgoers through his connection with “A Tin Soldler,” “Danger Signal,” and other well known attractions. Mr. Joseph Murphy will commence his regular Omaha engagement at the Boyd on Thursday evening next. Mr. Murphy is too well known in Omaha to need any extended notice for his appearance, as he is the same Joseph as of old, and has lost none of his old time vigor. Who among the old theater- goers has not laughed at his humorous por- trayal of Dan O'Hara, the Kerry blacksmith, and watched with eagerness his escape from prison and afterwards, as the village black- smith, setting the shoe, one of the most realistic scenes evér produced on any stage. Then his character as Larry Donavan in “Shaun Rhue,” where ho plays two separate and distinct characters with an entirely dif- ferent dialect in both and where he is driven from home and he sings his world-famous song, “A Handful of Earth,” where there is not a dry eye in the house. Mr. Murphy will present the following repertoire during his engagement at the Boyd: Thursday and Fri- day nights, “Shaun Rhue,” Saturday matinee and night, “The Donagh,” Sunday night, “The Kerry Gow.” At the Saturday matinet Mr. Murphy has kindly consented to appear for the benefit of the Nebraska drouth suf- ferers. LONDON THEATRICAL GOSSIP, Paderowski Refuses to Play Where Only Five Shillings Is Charged. (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan, 19.—After the great premiere of “King Arthur at the Lyceum theater on Saturday last, the past week, naturally, has seemd dull of novelties, al- though Terry returned to his old career of success with “Innocemts Abroad” at Terry's theater, which was reopened last Monday, The mild weather which has prevailed has made no apparent difference in the attend- ance at the theaters and the pantomime audi- ences have luvariably been up to the capacity of the houses Musical circies have been enjoylug a sen. sational controversy over the refusal of Paderewskl to play in a concert at Torquay where the best seats were only five shillings. Owing to his refusal to appear the audience had to go home concertless. The digtin guished planist defends himself on the ground that the sum of ten shillings was paid at his previous concert in the same place for the same seats, and that his acceptance of half the price would argue that his powers were | failing and his reputation diminishing. The patrons of the concert hall at Torquay wittily Indignant and are flocding the papers with sarcastic references “musical public's German servant.’” ‘There is no truth in the report that Forbas Robertson is going to America to support Mme.

Mme, Nordica in a recent interyiew said of the rehearsals at Bayreuth that twenty- six were required for the satisfactory prepa- ration of ““Lohengrin.” These twenty-six re- hearsals lasted all day, and often far into the evening. Joseph Murphy denles he Is the stinglest actor on the stage, and as for his being the richest, he says he will take $500,000 for everything he owns, Including his socks, Joseph must wash oftener than he used to in the old days to make the socks of any pecuniary value, “The actor who plays the villain is a handi- capped man,” says Henry Herman, who plays the confederate ‘spy I “Shenandoah.” *All the lines put into his mouth by the dramatist are calculated to make him unpopular, and the audience goos home utterly despising him. The matinee girl thinks him mean to stand in the way of the hero, and taps one little hand on the other when he'is led off in the last act to pay the penalty of his base- ness,"” Of the plays that are fixations in New York for the whole season, one Involves an artistic triumph for a stock company, that of Charles Frohman at the Empire, “The Masqueraders” is to fill the whole winter season, That Is not much like the usage ot forty years ago, when the permanent organi- zauons of players had to change bills every week or 50, but in those days, as now, every play was Pt on the stage as long as re- munerative audiences would gather to soe it. The long runs of our time are made possible by the growth of population from which to draw support. Mr. Lincoln A. Wagenhals of the enter- prising young manageril firm, Wagenhals and Kemper, at present presenting *Young Mrs. Winthrop,” has closed an important ontract to star Mr. Louls James during the next five years, opening their season in New York in Scptember, They propose to make elaborate spectacular revivals of ““The bers,” “Irancesca da Rimini” and gInius,” with a repertoire embracing “Richard LIL,"” ‘Othello,” "and other Shakespearan Mr. Collin Kemper will have full e of stage productions, and Mr. Wagen- hals will have charge of the business of the enterprise. Miss Una Abell and Miss Lansing Rowan will be in thd company sup- porting Mr. James, and many other engage- ments are pending. Another American girl announces her in- tention to go on the stage, It is Mary Fuller, daughter of Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supteme court, Mary Fuller is Mrs. Manning, the wife of a young southerner, to whom she was married some- what unexpectedly in Europe several years ago, where she was then studying at a con- servatory. Speaking of the new position which she is about to assume, Miss Fuller said: “Musio. has leen the study of my life, and since my childhood I have devoted all ‘my time and attention to this sclence. 1 love music more than anything else; in fact, It is my only talent, and I have studied it In Europe under the best masters, While abroad I never went intg society, but spent my whole life at my pifno. Indeed, I care nothing for society at all, and never at- tempted to pose as a belle, 1 prefer work to pleasure, and the clasics in music are my taste.

BOONE, Ia., Jan. 19.—(Special Telegram.)— In a case against O. R. Miller and others, charged with maintaining a liquor nulsance at Angus, in this county, the jury in the district court this morning brought in a ver- dict which practically makes illegal all the saloons in the county. Miller was running a salcon under the mulet law, a petition con- taining the mnames of two-thirds of the voters cf the county outside of Boone having been filed with the auditor, as required by law. Judge Birdsall in his charge to the Jury said the petition was insufficient If it did not give the date when each signature was made and the voting precinct of the signer. As many of' the names on this pe- tition do not contain these points the jury found the defendants guilty as charged, It the verdict holds it not only makes illegal all the saloons in Boone county outsida of the city of Boone, but those Inside as well, for the Boone city petition is open to the same objections. There is consternation among the thirteen saloon kespers of this city, who have been paying a license of $1,300 a year, as well as among those in Madrid, Ogden and Angus, in this county. An effort will be made by them at once to secure new peti- tions with these objections overcome, Towa Amers, DES MOINES, Jan.

Paddock, member of the Board of County Commissioners and one of the pioneers of Douglas county and of Ne- braska, died at 12:20 this morning at his home west of the city. About two weeks ago the major was made 1l by a severe cold, which soon developed into pneumonia. His condition was not thought to be dangerous until Thursday, and not until Friday evening was all hope of his recovery glven up. His children were at hl bedside when the end came. Major Paddock was born in Matena, N, Y., April 27, 1825. His early life was passed in the Bmpire state, where he recelved his education and laid 'the foundation for his future life. He came to Omaha in 1854 and soon attained prominence in the political circles of the young commonwealth. Ho was appointed clerk of the first house of repre ives, and was also clerk of the first district court that was held in Ne- braska. In meantime he had made a brief visit to his former home In New York, where he was married in 1858 to Miss Susie Mack, A gon and daughter, Ben 8. Paddock - A.
