Never before has Omaha been so largely represented in Europe as this year, and al- though the summer is almost over the tour- tsts seem loath to return Lo a more conven- tlonal existence, as life in the old world is #0 attractive to them that they intend stay- fng until the fall festivities begin and duty calls them home. However, Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan are back from their enjoyable summer abroad, and last week Mrs. Savage returned.

J. Burgess the other day, as he stood in the foyer of his nearly completed place of amusement, *‘you may make a note of one thing—it will not be the Creighton." Workmen at many arts and trades were busy about the place under the eye of their overseers; carpenters, cabinet makers, up- holsterers, painters, men putting in tile and marble baseboards, men constructing stair- ways of iron and marble, men raising and lowering scenery from the fly gallery, men adjusting ventilators and electric lights, men swarming everywhere, making every concelv- able noise and putting the finishing touches to their respective tasks. To one unused to the resourceful energy of the builders and promoters of the new theater it would seem an impossibility that order should be brought out of the existing chaos in a week's time; but the house must be ready next Thursday, and those in charge, to whose zeal and public spirit Omaha will owe its possession of one of the handsomest and best appointed play houses in America, are of the kind who accomplish what must be done. The audience which honors itself and the new theater by attending the opening per- formance next Thursday night will be well entertained, as a matter of course. The Em- pire company, the annual engagement of which is one of the highest pleasures af- forded by our theaters, includes most of the old names and has been strengthened by the substitution of others. Such a company needs no introduction to the Omaha public, and re- quires no such extraneous allurements as the opening of a new house to attract the people. Conversely it may be sald that a new theater, of the beauty and elegance which characterize this one, owned and managed by men for whom the play-going class has a very warm feeling indeed, would draw crowds to its opening whatever the stage attraction. With all theze elements combined, it would seem that the Creighton theater, large as it is, will not contain its audience when the curtain first rises upon the action of “The Masqueraders.” Those who present themselves on that occa- sion, being in the main citizens of Omaha and Toyal to its institutions will go, first and foremost, to see the house, enjoying the ex- cellent performance of Mr. Frohman’s players as a matter of quite subordinate importance. They will be delighted with what they see, and many will be agreeably surprised, whether they have or have not inspected tho theater interior from time to time in its incomplete- ness. Perhaps the surprise will be greater and more agreeable in the former case, for the decorations, carpets, drapery, drop cur- tain all are arranged and harmonized for the effect of artificlal light, and any possible criticism of harshness of tone by day will find no place under the proper and usual show conditions of the auditorium. Moss- green and gold are the prevailing tints, and the fleur-de-lis is everywhere. INSIDE THE PLAY HOUSE. Arriving at the theater, one enters from the street a broad carrlage.porch facing east, wherein overhead are little windows display- ing filuminated announcements of the attrac- tions provided. Hence access is afforded by three double doors of great solidity and beauty of finish to the main vestibule, fourteen feet by twenty- eight. On the left'is the box office, to which all_patrons of the house must come sooner or later, and back of this, gained by a broad passage, is the commodious apartment where treasurers meet and ‘“count up” and where the public is not generally welcome. In just proportion to these offices, across the wide vestibule and immediately ‘at the right hand of one entering, i3 a spacious waiting room for women or others who may have appointed a meeting place with friends. Theater parties may assemble n this luxuriously appointed room, which will be a far more agreeable rendezvous than a crowded lobby or an adjacent shop. Entrance is by three arched doorways (o the foyer, fourteen feet wide, whence stairs as- cend ‘on either hand to the balcony. Under the stairway to the north is the entrance to the women's retiring room, and the toilet and smoking apartments for men are below the offices to the south. In the foyer also are two check rooms for impedimenta, which in this house will be cared for without charge. From the foyer a view, uninterrupted save by the pillars of the graceful arches over- head, is had of stage, parquet and circle. A drop’ curtain from the brush of William Grabach is perhaps the most striking siggle object in sight. Departing from the usual custom, the artist has produced, not the shocking daub which too often stares theater audiences in the face and harrows up their artistic souls, but a representation of drapery, severe in disposition and in tone harmonious with the dominant tints of the interior. This curtain, the sober beauty of which Wil grow upon the public, is re- inforced by another, a massive structure of sheet iron, braced and riveted, and so ac- curately balanced that a minimum of force, rightly directed, will move it in its appointed channel. By means of this ponderous wall of metal an Impervious bairier may be in- stantly set up between a fire on elther side of the footlights and the other regions of the theater; and the entire construction of the building, both in point of materfals employed and in respect to the number and convenience of exits provided in all parts, has been wrought out to the end of assuring absolute safety, 50 far as might be, to audiences and players. From the standpoint of the theatrical pro- fesslon Omaha's new house is comfortable even to unaccustomed luxury in all that goes to_make bearable the drudgery of an ac- tor's life. The acoustic properties of the the- ater are excellent, a conversational tone car- rying perfectly to the topmost seat in the gal- lery and the loudest sounds from the stage creating “no unpleasant echo even with an empty auditorium. The horseshoe curves of the balcony and gallery are brought unusu- alky close to the stage, a feature of construc- tion agreeable alike to speaker and hearer. The stage space, forty-one by seventy-six feet, i3 all available for the purposes of dra- matic representations, none being taken up by the dressing rooms. These apartments, thirteen in number, are furnished with a completeness seldom found even in the best appointed theaters. The four allotted to star performers are just off the stage behind the boxes. They are tastily carpeted, hnd fitted with gas, electric light, hot and cold water and individual closets. The remainder of the dressing rooms are on the two floors of the little annex adjoining the stage west- ward end reached by the stage entrance on Harney street, as well as by the door from the alley and ‘the archway leading from the stage. These rooms are of good size, and each is provided with an outside window. They are carpeted, well lighted, plentifylly supplied with shelves and each’ has Its hot and cold water bowl, with a closet on each floor. The fact that the first floor rooms are level with the alley and the second floor windows only ten feet above, taken with the further assurance that three exits are pro- vided from this supplemental structure, would seem to show that the danger from fire has been as well guarded against here as else- where, THE SEATING CAPACITY. “TThe parquet, in three sections, and the cir- | vail. capaolty of 579, and the balcony, seating 620, are fur- nished with orchestra ohairs upholstored in bright brown leather with backs of green plush. The weats are of uncommen depth and width, the alsles generously broad, and | the space betwaen rows more than ordinary Thero are elght stage boxes, four in the tiers on either side of the stage, and a Innovation Is made In the provision of six stalls, or loges, contaluing from ithree to ten movable chairs each and situated fmmed ately in front of the parquet circle rail cony enclosures w.ll doubtless be popular with theater pagties and others who affect a ce tain exclusiveness without desiring the pub- licity of an appearance in a stage box. The loges, the boxes, and the divans placed in the | aisle between parquet and circle will be the only parts of the house in which prices above those known as popular will invarlably pre- The usual prices of seats, save on ex- rdinary occasions, such as the opening en- and a few speclal attrac for parquet and circle, 75 cent 50 and 36 cents; gallery, 26 cents; box, di and stall seats, $1.00. ior a few attractions out of the fine list booked at this house a slight increase In prices will be made, but it will still be possible to get the best seats down stairs for $1, unless one wants one of the special seats above excepted, for which the management rightly considers one ought to be willing to pay exira. The gallery, built on lines similar to those of the balcony, can be made to hold 1,000 people, and has its own entrance stair of slate and iron encased in brick walls in the southeast corner of the { building, the box office for the gallery being part way up the staircas. The manager's office, on the second floor, above the waiting room to the right of the entrance, Is a pleas- ant and commodious room where Mossrs Burgess and Paxton wiil receive their busi- ness and social friends. The lighting generally is by electricity and is entirely diffused, no globes being visible from the seats. In point of heating and ven- tilation the Creighton theater will embody the most recent and best approved methods and will be supplied In all weather with abundant pure air at a comfortable temperature. The carpets and draperies on the first floor are rich and elegant, the former being a Wilton of sumptuous quality and the latter of silk velour, heavy and fine. Both match and har- monize with the provail'rig hues of the audi- torfum, belng of gold and moss green with a plentiful show of fleur-de-lis, and the gen- eral effect is soft, delicate and artistic. The orchestra, conducted by Ernest Norden, will be in evening dress and the ushers in uni- form. It is the intent'on of the management to cause water to be offered to the mudience between acts, and it is believed that many ladies and gentlemen will avail themselves of the opportunities for promenades afforded by the long corridors betwoen the theater and the stores on Harney street, which, with their tiled floors, handsome lighting and easy divans, should be a very attractive place of resort. Everything about the stage by way of fixtures, appliances and properties, Js of the newest and most efficient type and a full complement of scenery of an excellent qual- ity of artistic merit, has been painted by Mr. Grabach. The staf of the new theater Is as follows Willlam A. Paxton, jr., and W.J. Burgeas, composing the firm of Paxton & Burgess, lessees and managers; D. L. Cartan lessee of program; John Scott, treasurer; W. J. Wood- ard, advertising agent; George Kearney, door- keeper; Ralph Heyward, head usher and as- sistant treasurer; Charles Porter, stage car- penter; Charles Numaugh, assistant; James Harrington, property master; Alfred Allen, assistant; David Clark, electrician; W.

Act TIT. During the visit of Charles Frohman's Em- pire theater stock company, which has been selocted as the opening attraction of the new Creighton theater and will appear for three rights and a matinee, beginning August 22, local play goers will have the pleasure of see- ing the only dramatic successes that were achieved In the metropolis last season. The first and greatest of these is Henry Arthur Jones' drama, “The Masqueraders,” a tre- mendous piece of work abounding in life and color and dealing powerfully and in a novel manner with those passions which the story teller and playwright are ever skillfully pit- ting against each other. It ran for over eight months at the Empire, filling the house with a fashionable audience at every per- formance. It was mot only a magnificent triumph in playmaking and play production, but it created an immense sensation in the metropolis. Nothing like the card scene in the third act, where a wife and child are staked against $1,000,000, was ever witnessed on a stage devoted only to the highest type of dramatic art, and no such intense con- flict of events and emotions had been at- tempted since the days of “The Two Orphans.”” The stock company was seen at its very best, every member adding to his or her reputation by the work done in this play. The company, as it now stands, embraces all the old favorites and has several new ones, being as follows: Henry Miller, William Faversham, J. E. Dodson, Robert Edeson, W. H. Crompton, Joseph Humphreys, E. Y. Backus, J. B, Finney, Viola Allen, Ida Con- quest, May Robson, Genevieve Reynolds, Ellen Gail. Besides “The Masquerade which will be given Thursday and Friday evenings at the Creighton, Mr. Frohman's company will pre- sent “Liberty Hall" on Saturday matinee, and its great triumph, “Sowing the Wind,” Satur- day night. Here is a briet outline of the story of “The Masqueraders,” the first play in which the Empire company will be seen here: “The Masqueraders’ is a story of two men and one woman. David Remon, an astronomer, and Sir Brice Skene, an aristo- crat, are in love with Dulcle Larondie, bar- maid at the Stag hotel. In the first act a hunt ball is progressing at the Stag. To raise a fund for a woman whose husband has been killed a kiss from Dulcie is put up at auction. The bidding starts at a sov- ereign, and there is brisk competition be- tween Remon amd Brice. “Two thousand guineas,” sail David; Sir Brice bids “three,” and the kiss Is his. Sir Brice publicly offers Dulcie his hand and heart. In the second act Sir Brice has been a married man four years and has managed to ruin himselt on the turf. He wishes his wife to borrow money from David Remon, now rich, In the third act she has done so to the tune of £6,000. The scene is in a private Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S.

Tn the last act David has taken Lady Skeno to his eyrie observalory on the Alps, and there the dramatist takes up a delicato soclal dilemma, A great filustration of life among the lowly In the city of Now York can be had by a wal from Cooper's Institute to Chatham square, One will meet every nationality and see the greatest number of different vocations of life, viz: the pawnshops, cheap clothing stores, sa- loons, concert halls, museums, religlous mis- sions, street peddlers selling overything one conid fmagine, and people from every walk of life, from the president of the Bowery bank, ono of the strongest financial institus tions in the city, to the old woman selling her daily paper, all seen walking side by side on the fanous Bowery. Most any evening one can see parties of eight and ten women and men under the guidance of a central office de- tective, making a tour of this district. Shime ming parties is one of the fads of the 400. Harry Williams, the well known theatrical manager, had a new m w Ada Lee Bascom entitled “A Bow and tho characters are all taken from the Bowery, and the play is on a new and novel line. Many melodramas have been written and Introduced characters from this particular quarter, but “A Bowery Girl" is the first whero all of the characters are from the Bowery. The company Is an exceptionally strong_organization and is headed by Miss Clara’ Thropp, a clever soubrette. The sups porting company is selected with care to fit the particulur parts. A special feature is made of the scenery, which illustrates the Bowery at night, palisades on the Hudson river, and the housetops of New York. “A Bowery Girl” will be the opening attraction at Boyd's theater for three nights, commence ing this evening. Franz H. Adelmann has been selected as leader of the Boyd's theater orchestra, suce ceeding Herbert ‘Butler, who goes to Berlin to_complete his musical education. The management of the Hoyd fs most fortunate in being able to secure the services of Mr. Adelmann, as he fs without a peer as a violinist in this section of the coun- try. Mr. Adelmann was born In Hamburg and received his musical training at the con- servatory at Wismar, afterward studylng with Prof. Schradieck at Leipsic. In Europs te played in some of the finest orchestras under the conductorship of Rubenstein, Von Bulow, Dr. Carl Muck, Prof. Edmandsdurfor and others, and at various times had engages ments in the orchestras at St. Petersburg, Russia, Helsingfors, Finland, Stockholm, Sweden, Paris, Vienna and other musical centers. Coming to this country in 1893, he was solo clarinetist for the band at the Ger- man village at the World's fair, and at its close he came to Omaha, where he has beem ever since, —— He Bought a Home. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 8, 1895.—Mr. George W. Ames, City: Dear Sir—I have been all over Orchard Jomes and must confess I was agreeably surprised at the beauty of your land and its pleasant surroundings. We visited a number of peach orchards in tho vicinity of Orchard Homes and found all the early varieties had been shipped and sold at good figures. Of later varietles, the trecs were loaded down A 20-acre truck or fruit farm, with the splendid shipping facilities at Orchard Homes, Is the best purchase a man with a little money caa make. He not only buys a home, but gets a lasting job and good pay for his work. The Illinois Central railroad runs fas fruit and vegetable trains to Chie cago on about passenger schedule time, gete ting the Orchard Homes reglon stuff into market 6 to 20 hours ahead of amy other locality. A man raised at Orchard Homes a crop of early Irish potatoes and got 200 bushels to the acre, which sold in Chicago at $1.25 to $1.76 per bushel. A crop of corn is now growing on this same ground that will 8o from 50 to 80 bushels to the acre. Have been all over this country, but think your Orchard Homes lands, taking climate and soil together, the finest place I ever saw where a man with so little capital and labor can make so much money. 1 bought 20 acres in Orchard Homes for myself and selected 40 acres more for friends of mine.
