Amusements e Aside from Richard Manefleld there 1s perhaps no other theatrical atar whose coming brings as much real pleasure and is looked forward to with as much eager ness by Omaha theater-goers as that of Maude Adams. In Miss Adams’' case this desire may be whetted somewhat by the fact that Instead of coming annually, as does Mr. Mansfield, she visits us only every other year, although were she to come oftener it is likely that the frequency of her visits would tend to increase her popu- larity rather than to diminish it. 1t Is not surprising that her engagement week was more largely attended other theatrical attraction that has been seen in Omaha this season. Considered from a financial standpoint it was a record- breaker for many seasons, the receipts far exceeding those of Viola Allen. Sir Henry Irving asked a dollar more for seats down- stairs than did Miss Adams, yet there was but a very little difference the receipts of these two attractions for a comparative number of performances. When one stops to consider the matter it 1s really a remarkable thing that a woman should be able to win such laurels on the stage as has this apparently frail little being in eo short a space of time. Until four seasons ago Maude Adams held the modest position of leading woman for John Drew. Since that time she has be- come a star and one of the best beloved and most admired women on the Amerl- can stage. It would be a diffcult matter for even an admirer of this wonderfully clever woman to give a logical answer to the question, “What is there in Maude Adams that fascinates?” Surely it is not her beauty, for she is almost wholly with- out either beauty of face or figure. It is not her vivacity, for that she does not possess even In a limited degree. Neither Is it her gracefulness, for she is far from being graceful on the stage and at times actually awkward. This inexplicable something seems to be in her acting rather than In her personality. She has the faculty of being able to lay bare to her auditors a wholesome soul; the charm that she exerclses ie Innate and subtle, but ren- dered all the more forcible for the very sympathy that she arouses. The unseen tle is always the strongest. She enters into her part with all her soul, making it sweet, pathetlc and droll as occasion de- mands. Her sudden charm .in natural glances, beautiful smiles and piquant stac- cato bits of speech is bewitchingly ex- emplified. in The fact that John Drew, from whose company Maude Adams graduated into the position of a star, Is to be the next theatri- cal personage of prominemce to appear here brings to mind a story told by a well known manager of an equally well known star during the latter's appearance here re- cently, that is worth repeating, inasmuch as it shows the value of the opinion one person in the theatrical profession of an- other following the same calling. It seems Mr. Drew and his company, which at that time {ncluded Mliss Adams as leading lady, were billed to play in Utica, N. Y. It was shortly before Miss Adams left Mr. Drew's company to become a star. The press agent of Mr. Drew's company had failed to leave a sufficient number of cuts of his star in Utica to supply the news- papers, and the publisher of the theater program, as well, and the manager of the theater happened to have one of Mi: Adams In his possession, and knowing that . leading lady, he (n- structed the publisher of the program to priat this cut on the front page of the program for the engagement. When Mr. Drew arrived at the theater he asked to see a program, thinking, of course, that hls own plcture would adorn the title page. ‘When he found that one of Miss Adams appeared there instead, the story goes that he flew into a rage and sent for the man- ager of the theater, when the latter ap- peared he demanded to know why the plec- ture of a “mediocre leading woman who did not draw a dollar to the theater” should be used instead of that of a star of his prominence. Of course explanations falled to pacity Mr. Drew. Subsequent events prove how poor his judgment of Miss Adams’ abllity, for today she occupies a position in the theatrical world of which Mr. Drew might well feel proud. Besides being a star with abllity, she is conceded by theatrical managers throughout the country to be the best paying attraction on the road, capable of attracting more dol- lars in one performance than many others who pose as her superior can in two. Miss Ellen Terry likes many things about America, and dislikes a few, according to the Dramatic Mirror, which say: Miss Terry, at home in London, has ex- pressed her satisfaction with her recent American tour. “It was the same old story of perpetual kindness, the same old friends for twenty years, the same cities | and the same play she sald. American people are always Interestin, I enjoy those in the west especlally. There was' not a crumpled roseleaf along the route except the dressing rooms in the theaters. English theaters are bad enough in that respect, but the American are worse ne drainage—they are “The and No doubt Miss Terry's criticisms are justified, but bad as many of our dressing Tooms are there has been a decided im- provement in the conditions that existed when Miss Terry first came to this country. Actors have done much to remedy the state of affairs that formerly existed by protest and complaint Miss Terry admires our quick way of do- Ing things’and our appreciation of art. “But,” she’says, “there Is too much hurry in_thelr art and too much of the rapid- transit idea in all the art of the day in consequence, The highast form of art, in my mind, is the cathedral, and what cathedral was buflt in a day? They lald it stone by stone, through the long, quiet Jears. They loved it caressed it ana gave t time. Now everything must be done by lightning; chickens must be produced with- out being hatched: we want the trees with all the blossoms and no leaves. There must be constant change at the theater and good actors and actresses are ‘resting’ because novelty has become the rage.” While telling stories, here is one about is not bad.

The Grace Hayward Stock company opens a twelve-performance engagement at the Boyd this afternoon. The company is un- der the personal direction of Dick Ferris, its organizer. During the engagement four plays will be given. This afternoon, to- night and Monday night the Russian melo- drama, “The Slaves of Russia,” will be glven. Its scenes are laid in Stberfa. It is #ald to be thrilling in its climaxes and scenes. Tuesday night, Wednesday mat- inee and night and Thursday night 8ol Smith Russell's quaint comedy, *Peaceful Valley,” will be the offering. “Carmen’ will be given Friday night and Saturday matinee. Saturday night the sensational melodrama, “‘Reaping the Whirlwind,” will be presented. This drama depicts scenes and events during the siege of Metz at the time of the Franco-Prussian war. All of these plays are promised with elaborate ecenic environment. Mr, Ferris will be seen in the leading roles in all of these plays. Practically all of the old favorites who were seen here before are still with the company. They are: Thaddeus Gray, A. E. Bellows, Jacques Caldwell, J. S. Macy, John T. Powers, Charles Ferguson, Maisie Cecil, Lola Morrisse, Dallie Temple and Grace Hayward. Specialties will be glven between acts by John T. Powers, Jacques Caldwell, McConnell sisters, Fer- guson brothers and Malsle Cecll. Very low prices of admission will prevail through- out this engagement. slster were discussing gentleman got up and left the theater, 1sing the ire of a lady hind him.

It comes May 15 and 16. The title conjures up visions of rural life and country sfmplic- ity, but the title is misleading, as the at- traction is the latest musical comedy sent out from New York. It employs a com- pany of fifty people, headed by Douglas Flint of comic opera remown. Its scenes are laid at the home of a wealthy New York clubman. It is of the same class as ““The Burgomaster”” and “The Strollers. Fenny Rice comes first in the bill open- ing the matinee today at the Orpheum. The program embraces eight varied acts and for the most part has the advantage of being new to local patroms, as five of the stunts are by vaudevillians who have not been seen here. Miss Rice has a new vaudeville act called “Surprises’” said to be positively a novelty, differing from any that has been seen here. In this she opens with a reci- tation of the thrilling kind, after ‘which she glves & number of character imitations, with appropriate songs for each, giving her an opportunity to show how gracefully she can step from the sublime to the ridicu- lous. She has assisting her Alice Beach McComas, & planist of note. James F. Kelly and Dorothy Kent present a breezy little sketch called “A Ginger Snap.” Esther Fee is down for the principal In- strumental feature, while May De Sousa, a sweet and pretty young singer, who was educated at the Sacred Heart academy in this city, will be greeted by old friends and admirers. A number of young people have engaged seats for theater parties to see her. La Puppe is a novel mechanical doll act described as very {llusionary and difficult to determine whether It is doll or man. Hendrix and Prescott will entertain with singing, dancing and comedy. Black face comedy will serve to acquaint us with Primrose and Mclntyre, the latter being a son of Jimmy Mclntyre of the team of Mec- Intyre and Heath. Entirely new pictures of timely interest projected by the kino- drome completes the bill. Beginning with the matinee today the at- traction at Miaco’s Trocadero for the week will be the High Rollers, an aggregation of more than a score of pretty burlesquers, with a half dozen comedians to lend fun and variety to the entertalnment. The bill opens with a pleasing and humorous skit entitled “The High Rollers Ladles’ Clul showing them bhaving a good time in Paris, and “The Filipino Princess,” in which the entire company participate. The foremost in the olio are Dixon and Holmes, char- acter impersonations; Howe and Scott, comedians; Dot Davenport, comedienne; the Verdler sisters, and Pat White, burlesque comedian. Amateur nights have been an established rule at the Trocadero every | Friday evening, the next one being without a doubt the best of the season. | | Plays and Players, Sir Henry Irving is to revive Tennyson's “Becket." Annie Russell is mentioned as wanting to play Joan of Arc. The French opera season in New York is a financlal success.

The gratifying part of the matter is that the programs are strictly educational, be- cause thoroughly re -sentative of the strongest men of each school. There has been no attempt to ocater to a popular idea, nor to descend from a high ideal. And the peopls have come. The offertory has been generally good. And last, but not least, the daily and weekly press has given more than ordinary notice to the work. This is surely a combination strong enough to encourage further efforts along that line. It was a wise Providence that placed the vocal ligaments in such a position that a person cannot easily find them with the naked eye (and a laryngoscope is mot al- ways avallable). There is more trouble caused by looking into one’s mouth for throat troublee, lumps, bumps, mumps, etc., than there is by actual tonsilitis. I am inclined to belleve that the honest throat specialist will agres with me that & fair percentage of cases coming to him are the result, direct or indirect, of worrying over and tinkering with the throat. The singer should know how to “loosen™ the throat, and how to keep it free and un- limited in its tone-coinage. But the teacher who simply says, “sing easily, now just breathe easily, naturally, like a baby,” without first diagnosing the case sufficlently to ascertain the present cause of ease-absence, and, without show- ing definitely, very definitely, the way to get rid of stiffness is seimply fooling the pupll by the utterance of pretty but ine effective formulae. It is as though a violinist should sit at the window of his studio and repeat again and again to his pupil, “Just play with a loose wrist, my boy, that's what Ysaye doe: We all remember the old story of Edwin Forrest and the stage “‘supe” who, when asked by the famous actor why he did not repeat his lines in the way that Forrest showed him, gave the naive but forceful answer, “If 1 could say them the way you say them I wouldn't be acting here for $4 a week.” The story is as old as the first minstrel jokes, but 'twill serve. Could the pupil sing with an entire ab- sence of effort, where would be the need of a teacher? But there is always, and there always will be, a multitude of unthinking people who will flock to the studio of the teacher who poses, struts, says “H'm-aw- yes,"” with a languid drawl, and says “Just do it naturally—just do it with ease. Alas! poor deluded would-bes, have ye not read, have ye not discovered, have ye not ascertained that the ease of the actor, of the singer. of the orator, of the painter, | of the sculptor, is the one art-pearl of great price, for which he or she has sold all his possesslons—and then some. Ease Is easy, but {t's hard to get. And while on this subject I may add that the easy, natural way of doing anything is the one which is arrived at by dint of hard work. Go out and try to mow with = scythe, but look out for your feet! Oh! the faddism and the fetichiem of the age! As was once said by a great teacher to a very inquisitive but studious pupil near a certain well in Samarla, “Ye wor-| ship ye know not what.” There i, however, one enduring comfort for the earnest student, and that is the cer- tain decay and phthisis of all fa Each one plays his part and shuffies offt—to make room for another, it is true—but each one makes its exit forever.

PARIS, April 26.—(New York World C: blegram—Special Telegram.)—The medical authorities are examining Into the case of a little girl named Georette Fabeyre, 12 years old, the most hardened youthful crim- inal ever before a Paris court. After a dispute with a playmate she ran to her father's workshop, took a bottle of acid and deliberately threw it at her playmate. The boy dodged and another child was struck and fearfully burmed. While the ittlo one lay on the ground writing in agony Georgette locked the door, stuffed a handkerchlef in the poor child’s mouth and then danced around his body, watching him slowly burn to death. When arrested she sald: “I intended the acid for the other boy, who amgered me, but Francis being in the way he got the punishment instead. It was all the same to me, though; I enjoyed his agony as much as if it had been the other.” The judge was so astonished he ordered Georgette placed under the care of physl- clans to ascertaln whether she s a born criminal. If that be the case Georgette will be locked up for life, Millions Left by Recluse Goes to As. sist People in His Native Town in Scotland, (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
