But the best result Manager Burgess bas observed as following on The Bee's suggestion is that he is no longer the target for public indignation aroused by the extortions of the scalpers, mor 1s he mowadays accused of standing in with them | and sharing tte profits they wrung from the public. The Omaha Bee idea is a good one and is bound to be adopted by other theaters, for it does away with the scalper more effectively than any other method ever tried. | ( | A writer In the Denver Republican, | predicating his remarks on thestatement by Mr. Al Hayman that during tbe last season $25,000,000 epent by the Ameri- | can public on theater-going, half of it in| New York, complains that the west has not had its share of the good things, and blames the “syndicate” for the existing conditions. It may be tha: in some meas- wre the so-Tafled theatrical trust is to blame, but the main difficulty seems to lle in the fact that the “west” is really too | far west. Around New York the world of | the stage revolves. We may cavil and sneer, i we like, snort if we wish and swear if we want to, but the stubborn fact rematns that in New York the stars can find ample | opportunity for the display of their talent and liberal support during all the time they care to remain on the stage each sea- | son. Long tours are no longer required. A circle with Chicago in the west, St. Louls In the south and Biston in the emst will cover the larger cities of the country, and the great ctars of the theatrical world can eas'ly find therein employment for years hout ever thinking of the real west, much less ¥isiting it. It is not pleasant 10 think of this condition, much less admit that it is true, but true it is. Western people have humbled themselves to the ex- | tent of holding out their dollars to tempt the stars, and without avall. Eastern money is just as good as western, and so loug as it can be had without the exertion needed 1o corral the western cash, 0 loig we | will have to put up with what we are now | Baving. Omaha has no especial occasion for complaint on this score, for during the last season we had the greatest of the English- epeaking actors and the most famous of musicians, with many of the better grade of modern playe and players. We have had | & decided advantage of Denver'in this re- ard. And while our local theatrical “bookings” are #till the result of the ap- | | | representative members, portionment made by the New York syndi- cate we have the best that have come west | Manager Burgess is amsured by his New | York agents that the next season will mot be bebind the last in polnt of brilllancy. Many & time and oft has the syndicate | been ralled against because, jooth, 1t | has measured art from the box offide stand- point. And why sbouldn’t it? Hath not | Art all the material needs of a corporeal | body? Must mot Art be fed and clothed, and housed, and even be tricked out in rai- ment appropriate to its appearance in pub- Jic?! And where, pray, ehall Art find the ‘wherewithal to procure all of this that is necessary for its sustenance and adern- ment, if it be not from the box office? We may be told that true Art, like Charity, is mot puffed up. Go to; yea, §o three and take & jump at thyself, ob, foolish one! Not puffed up, sayest thou? And pritbee, what did ¥ou call it when Edwin Booth re- ceived $1,000 for each performance, long’| Dbefore the theatrical trust was dreamed up. Aud what of Joe Jeflerson, and “Billy” Florence, and Jobn McCullough and all that loug list? Did they not measure art with & golden yard stick? And why| sbouldn’t they? They were all in immedi- | ste and constant need of all the things that money will buy, and their only way of get- | ting the money was through the box offices. Today, more than ever, is mobey Deeded to carry on the presentation of a play. More people are employed, as high, if not highe, | salaries are pald, while the scenic investi- ture is sumptuous beyond the mvst am- | bitious effort made in the days prior to the | “syndicate.” Even second and third-rate plays are nowadays staged with an elab- | orateness and fidehity to detall & few years | {&go unthought of. All this costs money, and unless this money can be secured | through the box office it is not forthooming. | Therefore the box office measurement of art is not altogether indefensible; in fact | #t appeale ratber forcibly to the business | fnstinet. It is all very well to affect not| to notlce the sordid detalls in the presenta- | tioz of & play, but the butcher, the baker and the candiostick maker must be settled with by the syndicate just the same as by | erdicary people. “Box office” merely means busivess mavagement, which is abeolutely | essential 10 suceess in these commercial Gars. Coming Events. The Perris Stock company starts this afterncon op its second week at the Boyd with every assursnce that the week will &5 successful from every point of & Aid the opening week Two as strong productions will be given as were the opening ones. For the first half of the week the soclal drama, “Jim the Pen- man” will be gives, with My. Ferris in the role of Captain Redwood, the clever wan bunter of many dieguises, and Mr. Thaddeus Gray the forger James Ral- ston known as Jim the Penmas Miss Haywasi will be seen as Nina Ralston P tainment, as it will walt at the transfer for an hour to combect with a westbound Union Pacific train. A committee from the local temple will cross the river and make |tbem welcome during <he hour and will ccme to Omaha with them The larger part of Omaha people for San Francisco will leave the city Wednesday evening in & special car over the Burlington route, while a number will patronize the Union Pacific, the delegates, however, going by the former line. This was done because the majority of the delegates had already | gone to the coast over the Union Pacific and desired to see the country over the | Burlington and its connecting lines. Delegates from Kaaba temple of Daven- port have already passed through and are now probably on the ground. There was considerable comment as to the action of | those delegates in getting such an early start, but this was understood when Mr Titus, one of the delegates, stepped from the car enroute west and made explanations From his statement it seems that Kaaba has trouble enough of its own to Interest its delegates and the council for a while during the convention. Kaaba is the mother temple of the order in lowa. From it has grown El Kahir temple at Cedar Rapids and, more recently, Za-Ga-Zig temple at Des Moines, a large number of the charter members of these temples demitting from the mother temple of the state for the pur- pose of joining the mew ones. Eastern Towa is & fer'tile field for the order, but it places Kaaba temple at a disadvantage for, like Tangler temple in Omaha, it is situ- |sted upon the eastern border of the juris- |diction and can only look to the west for members. To the west the new temples |@raw from all directions and the fleld of Kaaba is so narrowed that ite prospect for accesslons is not bright. There will be some question of division of the territory raised, but the Kaaba delegates will not be unanimous for the plan unless the Mne rubs very close to the castern border of the inland temples, something the new ones may object to. The Davenport men are not going to be found asleep and by being early on the ground will have an opportunity to see delegates as they arrive. On Sunday, June 8, at 2:30 o'clock the 044 Fellows of Omaha will hold memorial exercises in their lodge room, 1402 Dodge street. Committees representing the sev- eral branches of the order have been pre- paring an elaborate program and the ex- ercises will be of more than usual signifi- cance. The past year has witnessed more thad any other the deaths of prominent and the soverelgn grand lodge alone reporting the death of twenty-seven representatives. In the city of Omaha the loss by leath has been more than the average and it is deemed proper to observe the day with more than ordl- nary solemnity. Committees representing the Memorial Day assoctation will visit the several cemeteries on Bunday morning and decorate the graves of deceased mem- bers. The afternoon exercises will be in charge of Willlam McDiarmid, noble grand; James L. Alvison, chapiein; all subordinate and Rebekah lodges. Encampments and cantons have been accorded their quota of officers for the- day and special invita- tions have been extended to the families of deceased members. The memorial address will be delivered by Past Grand Master Charles A. Patterson and the musical pro- gram has been placed in charge of Lee G. Krats and the “T. K.” quartet. A program of considerable interest has been prepared for the meeting of the Mod- ern Woodmen of America of Omaba, South Omabs and Council Bluffs, whichk will be addressed by Hom. ‘W. A. Northcott, head consul, Thursday evening at the Creighton Orpbeum. As each of the 4,500 members of the order in the three cities has re- ceived a personal lnvitation to be present, the hall will probably be crowded, as all are interested in the subject to be dis- cussed by the head comsul, the proposed change in rates to be paid for insurance. Admission will be by password, as at any camp meeting. The program will open with the opening ode No. 1 of the soclety, followed by an address of welcome by George A. Magney. A quartet, comsisting of G. R. Sutheriand, J. B. Swith, T. L. Broadhurst and E. G. Rozzelle, will sing “Golden Years. Mr. Dodson will render a corpet solo, Jay Northrop will sing and the orchestra res. der a selection, with & second song by the quartet before the address of the head consul. Closing ode No. 1 will be used at the close of the meeting. Every member of Mayflower Garden No. 1 of the gardeners who attended the meet- ing last” Thursday night was made the reciplent of & unique and origlosl flower basket. They will spend the coming wedk gathering flowers to bring to the next meeting. A large bumch of candidate scaled the garden wall jo accordance with the mew ritusl, which was put in foree for the first time and proved & grand sué- cess. Omaba tent, Knights of the Maccabees, bas won & prize of 5100 offered by the su- number of other courts in Omaha, South Omaha and Councll Blufts will participate and are working hard to make it the event of the season.

He says At the present time, at a conservative estimate, there are 4,000 American stu- dents abroad scattered in the different cities of Burope. The minimum sum for which they can ba maintained In the cheap est and most economical parts of Europe is equivalent to §2 per gay, which means S0 a day of American money pald to forelgners, or $2.400,00 per month. Or you may say, for three-years' term Americans spend $75,000,000 trying to obtain an edacation in music and art abroad, whila here at home these four institutions (that , the National Conservatory in four cities as described last week) can be fully quipped _and ducted upon the very highest plane within a cost of $1,00,000 per annum. The above is concise enough and con- vincing enough without any further com- ment. But 1 would merely urge upon the readers of this column to think serlously upon the gravity of the situation and see that some other person is induced to do the same Resuming the 'thread of the Kowalsky | argument 1 find these worde descriptive of | the social effect of Americans studylmx abroad Aside from the financial feature to Amer- ca_and Americans it saves our chi friom exile. The majority of the yc men who go abroad never return to this | country. Many of them become Inoculated with the vagrant and Bohemian habits that are prevalent in the respective Latin quarters of the big cities of Burope. They | dress and ape the foreigners and waste| their time about the cafes. The life is free 1t and in place 6f becoming stu- ey are not only wasting their own but epending the hard-earned money their parents, many of whom deny emselves comforts at home in order to maintain_ the indifferent member of the family abroad. * * * We have Paderew- skis, Koeberlicks, Ysayes, Geraldys, Sar- asates, born in America, but W have | 1acked opportunity, therefore nobody knows | of them; while these foreigners come here, | are worshiped by American audiences and take away great sacks of American coln. America has led in everything financial and nechanical and if the musical youth of our country is permitted to develop under gov- crnment coggrol, within ten years it is falr to predict t ‘America will commence to send mu usical wonders abroad. The amount of money required to carry out this grand project is so infinitesimally small when compared with the great amounts the na- tion is spending annually in many other directions that the money it will take can not possibly deter any patriotic legislat who loves his country and his peop! voting te appropriate the sum required. Further excerpts from the pamphlet will prove interesting, especially the references to “atmosphere,” which everyome quotes when foreign study is mentioned. To my mind, one of the very greatest advantages to be derived from a National Conservatory of Music and Art would be the incentive to a patriotic spirit of en- couragement of our own people in their work. When the cautious and deliberative Uncle Samuel “starts things” we usually all heartily in line and follow his lead. After all, we must be taught the lesson of faith in ourselves. We should stand for the best work that is being done by our own people. Patriotism of this sort counts for more than pyrotechnics. Let us all be Americans! A triend of mine was in Kansas City last Sunday and he heard that most delectable combination—a church quartet—and the so- prano sang the offertory solo. . What do you suppose it was? Im a very prominent Grand Avenue church, in a city which is supposed to be musical. That “loveliest of love songs—'Love's Sorrow’ "—by Harry Rowe Shelley, adapted or rather unadapted to sacred words. This is like singing “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” to the tune of “When the Swallows Homeward Fly.” Another friend of mine heard a Lincoln |einger in a very prominent and beautitul church in that city sing, for an offertory solo, recently, a jargon of sacred words to & tune from ““The Burgomaster.” This s the kind of stuff one must expect from the aversge quartet choir. Thank Heaven, the people are mow being thor- oughly awakened to the fact that the only reasonable church music is to be found In the full choir with chorus. Nowadays it is an honor to be a choir| singer, times have changed, and those who! are studying ensemble music can find ne| better way to do it than by getting imto a good choir. And the trouble with every quartet cholr that I have ever heard is that no one mem- ber seems to realize the necessity of study- ing to sing “to” and “with"” the other parta. Each one takes his or her own part as a solo regardiess of the others. In the chora works one learns, or should learn, the sec- ret of the “ensemble.” No one can be a first-class singer fn & quartet, who has not served apprenticeship under the conduc- | tor's baton in a chorus. As a proof of this, any prominent conductor will go on record as to the difficulty of securing good en- semble effects from singers, who individ- ually may be artists While on the cholr subject, it gives me pleasure Lo record the success which is at- tending the efforts of Mr. E. D. Keck, in his new position as choirmaster of Kountze Memorial church. Mr., Keck has a fine body of earnest and diligent singers, who ere making no “splurge,” putting on mo trille, and seeking no sensational atten- tion, but who are delivering & mighty good bonest article in the way of & church musi- cal service and dolng it well I hope that the members of Mr. Keck's choir appre- clate their choirmaster—and I feel sure they do, from their regularity of attend- ance—because Mr. Keck s a constant worker ia every portion of the fleld of musical development along ecclesiastical lines, and be bas written some things bim- i, which deserve publicity.

Marschner, Then Mr. director of the has a scheme simmering for the immediate organization of a fine musical soclety consisting of sev- enty-five active members chosen from the best singers of Omabe, Council Bluffs and South Omaha and seventy-five honorary members, who will take $10 worth of atock ench and receive therefor certain tickets to public or semi-public performances. The musical object of the soclety will be to study and Introduce new choral works, rather than the old standard, although they the etandards, will not be wholly neglected The society, it Mr. Marschner's plans suc- ceed, will be called for rehearsal about the third week of September. A May festival of rare excellence will be held at Mount Pleasant, Ia, this week Omaha will be in line next May. Mr. E. P. Baker's presentation of Dud- ley Buck’s “Golden Legend” last Tues- day and Thursday evenings was a glowing success in some ways. Clvic pride is a good thing, but it does not atone for in- different or bad work by soloists (as on this occasion) when good interpreters could be had by coming to Omaha for them. I was unable to attend the concerts myselt but a musical representative of The Bee was present and told me that Mr. Green | was the only one of the soloists equipped for the work, that the “Elsie” music is entirely dut of Mrs. Richmond's volce (whi¢h I knew beforehand) and Mr. Wil- {llams was inadequate to the dramatic role of Lucifer. The chorus work was excel- lent, says my correspondent, and the only reason that I could find for putting on poor solo work, as a rulg, with a good chorus, was that evervoffe had to be a South Omaha citizen. Such a sentiment is not conducive to amy growth musically, artistically, soclally or even Ih a business way. THOMAS J. KELLY. Marie Swanson, Harpist, 820 8. 18th St. WHAT AN OMAHA MAN PASSED ldea Now Patented and Worth Much Money to Some New York Manufacturers. Within the last few months an envelope of peculiar make has been appearing in the Uniteq States malls. It is peculiar in that from one corner protrudes the end of a very fine wire, by pulling which the end of the envelope I8 cut as clean as with & paper knife, and the enclosure within may be withdrawn. “Clever idea,” “Simple, but effective,” ““The man who got that up made money out of it,” are the remarks it evokes. The latter, however, is an error. invented by Andrew Hagland, a bookkeeper in the Willow Springs distillery at Omaha, and he didn’t make a cent out of it. All the money is belng made by the firm that bought the patent (but mot of Hagland) and is now turning out the envelopes from its Wactory in New York at the rate of a million a week. An office associate of Hagland tells this story of the invention: ‘Hegland was sitting at his desk one day about a year ago, fooling with an envelope, & plece of string and a penknife. He would pass the string between the folds of the paper, hold one end of it and pull the other in such a way tbat it would cut the paper along its folded edge. He amused himself in this way for five or ten minutes, and then called our atteptfon to it. “‘Here's a great scheme for opening an envelope,” he said. ‘The beauty of it is, you don't tear the emclosure. drafts and checks and bills in two befors now by making too deep a tear when I went to open an envelope, and I've cut them In two by using a knife, but here's a scheme for opening them with perfect safety. It le neat, quick, cheap and simple, and you don’t have to bother with a knife. Smaller things than that have been pat- ented before now.’ “As be talked, he was illustrating how the string cut the paper. None of us thought much of it except a young fellow named Eldrige. He seemed to be greatly impressed. A week or &0 passed, and then ope day someone asked Hagland If he was goling to have his envelope opener patented. He answered “‘l guess not. T been looking it up, and I find it costs a good deal to get out a patent, and I don't want to give those patent lawyers a chance to work me.’ “That was the last we heard of it in the office until the envelopes with the little wire in them actually appeared upon the market, Hagland looked the matter up and found that & man named Charles El- drige was the patentee, and that he had assigned hig claim to the patent to & New York firm for $160. “Charles Eldrige 18 a brother of the young man who was with us in the office at the time Hagland was explaining the device. “I am convinced that neither Hagland por Eldrige realized the money-making possibilities of the invention. The fact that it 1s so simple and so cheap and that such great numbers of them can be sold are the strongest arguments in its favor, and it Eldrige, instead of accepting a paltry $150, bad arranged for a royalty of say @ cent a thousa: be would be on the high road to wealth.” | | Hamilton “arren, M.
