SHARRLHHVRBHERNO LD OBE BOHD | THE AMUSEMENTS. @ SEVGLGPVELOBSAREREVFORN0D The so-called “rural drama’” is too often neither a thing of beauty nor a joy at any time. Perhaps this is mot to be wondered at when it is remembered that they are written for the most part by dramatists whose lives have been spent in the citles | and who, for that reason, can have no ade- quate conception of the sterling worth and | nobliity of character that are met with so | frequently among the sturdy yeomanry which forms so Jarge a part of the country's population. A dramatist cannot hope to writa Intelligently of something of he Is utterly Ignorant. To preseut these | tarmer folk on the stage in their proper | perspective one must needs have lived | among them and have been a partaker in their successes and faflures, their hop and fears and their joys and sorrows He must have been admitted to thelr firesides and have learned from their own lips the depth of feeling and the tenderness of heart | that are the mainspring of r action To attempt to write of them at ond hand 18 to place them in a false light and to cre ate characters that have nothiog In common with those who pass their lives far away from the great centers of population in the seclusion of thelr country homes. } As & matter of faet, not more than three | or four rural dramas been written | that wiil stand the test of a careful analysis, | Shore Acry . but in this are repre- sented the old friends and acquaintances of James A. Hearne, the author, and, as they were In real life, 8o they are on the stage. Nat Berry and Martin Berry are real per- | sonages and thelr prototypes may countered In any New England ““The Dairy Farm' is another sweetly 1dyl- | e creation, Invested with an atmosphere that is In every way eulted to the char- caters and the scenes It represents. The men and women of Miss Merron's drama are real men and women and none the less lova- blo because they belong 1o o that has passed into history, Denman Thompson has succeeded in incorporating Into “The Old Homestead” the quaint and curlous char- caters whom he had for his friends and neighbors when living on his New Hamp- shire farm. 1In “Sag Harbor” Mr. Hearne | 18 sald to have scored another suce with | the quaint folk along the coast of Maine but what others are there now before the | public that are worthy of & second thought? | have be en- | village. | a Whatever may be the answer to the ques- tion propounded in the preceding paragraph it fs certain that the much talked about and widely advertised “'Way Down East’ which concluded an engagement at the Beyd | last night {s not one to be mamed in the same connection with any of the three men- tioned above Although it comes with the | indorsement of leading lights among the clergy and has been heralded as one of the grentest successes of the day, the fact is that nothing more inane and stupld was ever seen on any stage. The characters are | nothing more or less than caricatures, and the cheap comedy that is Introduced in a | futlle endeavor to make the plece go is 8o | dlsgulstingly silly that one turns from it with a feelfng of aversion. Indeed, it s with & mense of relief that one notices the approach of the time for the final curtain and n sigh of gladness escapes the 1ips when tho dreary agony is finally ended There 18 one lesson to be learned from witnessing the production of this “drama,” and that is that newspaper advertising brings bigger returns than any other form of investment. Mr. Brady has spent thous- ands of dollars in placing this play before the public and in keeping it there, and his returns have been most bountiful. The dol- 1ars he has cust into the newspaper offices have returned to him multiplied more than an hundred fold. He now has three com- panies presenting the plece, and he says that the profits of one of them alone last season was more than $40,000. Probably this is not far from the truth, especially it the company to which he refers is as wrotchedly bad as the one that appeared at the Boyd last week. Omaha relatives of Miss Belle Goldsmith, the Omaha girl whose quiet marriage to James B. Delcher, the New York theatrical manager, was announced In the press dls- patches Friday, had received no previous in- timation of the blissful condition of affairs, but are none the less gratified to learn that sho has #o soon after leaving home ensured her future domestic happiness and her pro- tesslonal fortunes. Her husband is spoken of among theatrical people as one of the leaders of the profession in wealth and respectability, and one who is sure to make a kind and faithful life helpmeet. It will gratify the many friends of the young bride in the city in which she was born and reared to kmow that an early visit to the sceno of her girlhood is likely. Mr. Del- cher {s manager of the “Vanity Fair” com- pany, which will be in the city during the coming month for an engagement of two days at Boyd's theater, and Mrs, Delcher will accompany him, and will doubtless avall herself of the opportunity to renew the associations of her school days. It i3 but two or three years since she graduated from the High school in Omaha and the friendships she formed during her resi- dence here are so fresh in her memory that which | § | hara In | sen in they can hardly bave lost any of their fragrance, Marguerita Sylvia, the new comic opera star, who will appear in Omaha this week has an interesting history of Belglum she resided until was 20 years o studying, in the mean- time, under th st masters. Then ac companied by her mother, she went to London to scck a hearing. Through mutual friends she obtained an introduction to W Gilbe Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera fa and the great lbrettist, after testing her vocal and mimic abilities recom mended her to Sir Augustus Harris, the Jate opera anager.

Coming Event The satirical farce comedy, “A Texas Steer,” universally decreed to be the best work from the pen of the late lamented Charles Hoyt, will be presented Sunday afternoon and night at Boyd's theater This plece of satire is directed at the modern American political system and it plctures with startling realism the amus- | ing, often ridiculous, phases of the life of the politiclan. 1t is a clever character pleture and mirth, gaiety and absurdity are reasonable and natural adjuncts of its scenes and Inc'dents. Maverick Brander, the new and somewhat unwllling and un- cultured congressman from Texas, fs im- personated by James R. McCann and Will H. Bray portrays the part of the Minister of Dahomey. Miss Florence Rossland im- personates Bossy, the sweet, lovable and Independent daughter of the cong: nd a typlcal Texas girl. “Across the Pacific,”’ which will be at Boyd's theater next Monday and Tueaday nights, 1s a dramtic production based on the war in the Phillppine fslands. It is one of Charles E. Blaney's pleces and a leading role in its production s taken by H. Clay Dlaney. The play is laid suc- cessively in Montana, San Francisco and Manila. An fncldent of the play Is a fight at the blockhouse In the Philtppines and a rapid-fire gun is Introduced in the defenso of the blockhouse. The love story is the malnspring of the play and a particularly clever villain endeavors finally to outwit his successful rival by becoming a traitor to this country. This plece appeals to popular patriotism, as it bears upon the war In the faraway islands of the Pacific. The leading role is carried by Harry Clay Blancy, who impersonates Willie Live, a newspaper correspondent. “The Princess Chic,” the comic opera in which Marguerita Sylva Is starring, will be the Thauksglving attraction at Boyd's theater. The &cene 13 lald In the camp of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, during the period when his alleglance to the crafty King Louls XI of France was trembling in the baiance because of the machinations of the king to curb the power of the duke. The characteristics of both Louis XI and Charles seem to have fitted them pre-eminently as subjects for portrayal In modern comic opera. Romance I8 woven into history by the Introduction of Princess Chle, ruler of a province adjoining that of Burgundy, who visits his camp in disgulse to apprise him of a plot of Louls, with the Inevitable re. sult that she conquers the heart of the war- rior in spite of his former coldness for womankind. During her presence In the camp she seeks to sustain the triple role of & princess, an envoy and a peasant girl, and her experiences give vent to the comedy with which the plece abounds. The next attraction at Miaco's Trocadero will be the Utoplan burlesquers, which be- gins & week's engagement with a matinee this afternoon, and which is sald to rank among the very highest of burlesque com- panies of the United States. of thelr program 1s entitled “In Grand Uto- pla” and furnishes a series of stage plc- tures descriptive of Utopla.
