Glory be! If this Indictment be fairly drawn it s time to announce that the stage has reached its goal. If it has attained a point where for even the three hours usually consumed in presenting a play it can divert the atten- tion of the auditors from the cares of life, from the sordid realities of actual exist- ence, and by presenting pictures, idealized or exaggerated caricatures, enable one to forget that there is any other life, then the stage has accomplished fts mission It is still the part of the good actor to “hold the mirror up to nature;” it is still the aim of the good play writer to draw | his characters true to life and to set them amid pictures that do not outrage the verities, the while supplying them with words that run trippingly from the tongue vet telling the story with a point. All ot these things pertain to the stage nowadays as much as they ever did, and it may easily be accepted as a fact that the stage will never grow away from them. During the winter we were several times afforded most convincing and acceptable proof that the glay which will please and not under- | take to teach a lesson is wholly possible. | Not only wholly possible ful In its actual existence. What more charming experience did we have at the theater during the winter than was given by “The Professor's Love Story” ‘Quality Street,” by A Royal Family, by “The Second in Command,” by Karl?” This list, unfortunately, is not endless. It is too short, but it is plenty long enough to show that the play with- out a villain, without a problem, without is a most wholesome and alto- gether enjoyable possibility. Of course, there still exist those of eplcurean tastes in the matter of literature as well as gustibles, who relish, or pretend to, their plays llke thelr meats, the better for being a trifle “high.”” Most of us, though, can't help realizing that “high” is only a polite way of saying that decomposition has al- ready commenced, and prefer both our mental and physical pabulum served be- fore there is meed of preservatives or dis- infectants. but most delight- Experience of the winter also lends sup- port to the belief that the play built on the sex question has undergone a declded modification, a testimonial to the improve- ment of public taste. Only a little while back we were regaled with the recital of incidents that inevitablysend in the divorce court, or were given the life of the co- respondent and the defendant after the case had Bden heard behind closed doors, only enough of the incidents being hinted at to prove that the details were salaclous in the extreme and that the court was well justified in cutting asunder the marital bonds. After these delectable personages had paraded themselves, emitting a con- stant stream of platitudinous epigrams, with an occasional homily from one or the other on right living and how to be happy though married, we were given a plunge into a etill deeper abyss of the dramatic interno. From the brothel came the heroine and the meretricious environ- ment was given us In all its garishness, with the soft background of a well ap- pointed home to furnsh tone to the high lights. What might have been done further is beyond mortal ken. Some of these went many, many steps the other side of the metes and bounds of decency. But the pub- lic has had enough. And while the plays of last winter may have been what one complaining writer calls “tawdry dramatic inanities,” they .were at least such as a man could sit through beside a woman and not feel ashamed of himself at some time during the performance. Certain features of the seamy side of lite are never mentloned, much less discussed, in polite soclety. Why, then, should they be made the basis of the drama of the day? No one is made any better by listen- ing to the exaltation of wromg doing, the defense of iniquity, no matter how elo- quently or attractively the subject is pre- sented; and it is not altogether improbable that some may be made worse. Only one lesson can be taught and that is the old one, “Be sure your sin will find you out,” and even its teaching is of doubtful value. That truth has been known since before the first of metaphysicians, and yet how much has the certainty of discovery lessened the inclination to sin? “Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers fand he bears a laden breast full of sad experience, The moral lessons taught by the stage, if any such there be, are not apt to deter any from entering upon sinful indulgence. The prob- lem play is more likely to have a directly opposite effect by showing how fair the road and easy of access are the various stopping places along the primrose path of dalliance, while the blaze of the ever- lasting bonfire is screened from view by the folfage which shelters the sinners from all things but themselves. Those of us who know about these things get enough of them without going to the theater for a further supply, and such as do not know of them are happy in their ignorance and in no immediate need of enlightenment. Let us therefore hope we may have mot another but many more seasons of plays which teach no lessons, but merely serve to divert and for the moment, at least, dls- tract the mind from the more absorbing things of actual life. More of the humor of Barrfe and Marshall and less of the cynical wit of Pinero and Jones, if you ple: Mr. Macager. And if the worst comes to the worst, give us Gussie Thomas and let Clyde Fitch go hang. So the making of book plays is to go steadlly forward. Here is a list promised for next year, the New York Sun being the authority The dramatizsing of novels has recelved eath blow from the fallure of several made from unusually successful Popular books will'be put on the stage In & greater number next season han ever. Glibert Parker is adapting hi The Right of Way" for Willlam Faver- sham to use at the Criterion. James K. Hackett has tried “The Crisl and will bring it In November to Wallack The drama is by the book’s author, Winston Churechill. Another novelist who has made his own dramatization is Hall Caine, in the case of "“The Eternal City.” which Viola Allen will produce at the Victoria in N Vember and Beerbohm Tree In London few months later. Mary Hartwell Cather- ood's “Lazarre” will vield a play to Otis Skinner and Eleanor Robson's managers are decidin her between Mrs. Hum phrey Ward's “Eleanor” and Mary John- ston’s ‘'Audre The dramatizations for next season are not_llmited to new books by any means. DeWolf Hopper has gone as far back as Dickens the comic opera that Charles Klein riting for him and calls “Dr. Out of Mark Twain's “Huckle- unn. ye, 18 not new. but it will be & theatrical novelty when Ada Rehan returns to the stage in it next Winter Two English novels, better known In thelr own country fhan here. are in paration for us Willlam Gillette hus aght the American stage rights in “Dr. Nikola,” by Guy Boothby.

Mary Mannering intended to do “Graustark’ next season, but has shelyed it in favor of | an unfinkehed drama by Clyde Fiteh. Olwa | Nethersole is working with Gertrude Ather- ton on "“A Daughter of the Vine,” to follow “Sapho.” Coming Kvents. Despite the hot weather and the numer- ous counter attraetions, the Ferrls Stock company continues to draw large audlences |at the Boyd. The business done last week &howed a slight increase over the week before. The demand for subscrip- tion season seats would seem to indicate a continuation of good business through the |entire season. Last week electric fans | were installed in the theater, which keep the atmosphere cool and fresh. No dis- | comfort has been felt because 8f heat by | patrone at any time since the engagement opened. Opening tonight, “The Green- Eyed Monster,” a comedy along farcical nes, will be given and continued untfl | Wednesday night. The play hinges on the | lite of an actress from a Parisian theater.

The stage crew of the Boyd theater are princi- pals In this scene Opening Thursday {night “The Three Musketeers” will be given. It will run for the balance of the week. ~Mr. Ferris will enact the role of d'Artagnan, the flery, swashbuckling adventurer.. Mr. Ferris handles the foils well, and in this he Is said to be seen in a role thai he considers his best. For the weck commencing today Krug park will entertain its patrons with a varied list of attractions. Cette, a noted aerfel gymnast, who 1s known to vaudeville patrons, will make his first Tocal appearance at a summer resort. His per- formances, afternoon and evening, like all the other shows, after entering the grounds will be given free. Huster and his band will render a complete change of program. The evening portion of the bill will include the moving picture reproduction of the Oberammergau “Passion Play,” with Lec- turer Hurley reciting the story of the life of Christ. In the afternoon Aeromaut Murphy will make a balloon ascension and parachute leap, while the various devices for pastime, Including bowling alley, merry-go-round, shooting galleries, swing, etc., will claim attention. In order to handle the crowds with facility the street railway company has improved the service by running all Walnut Hill cars direct to the entrance after noon hour every day, thus doing away with the stopover at Clif- ton hill of every second car. This will add comfort to the trip and do away with the crowded condition of the cars, excepting the rush hours. The unfavorable weather the past week has done much toward keeping the public away from Courtland beach. Friday night's attendance, however, was the largest for the week. The afternoon and evening con- certs are assisting materially in bringing out the music-loving patrons, who recog- nize the ability of Mr. E. Nordin, the di- rector. Covalt's Manawa concert band has al- ready created a very favorable impression upon Lake Manawa patrons and lovers of the artistic in music. Two programs have been arranged for, afternoons and even- ings, this week, commencing today. Play Hungary has an actors’ union. It ex- cludes from membership those who play on the vaudeville stage. Willlam Glllette will return to America this month. His next season in “Sherlock Holmes" will open October 18, Mrs. Langtry will begin her next Amer- fcan tour next January at the Garrick theater, New York, presenting ‘Made- molselle Mars." “My_Partner” will be revived next sea- son. Danlel Gfifether will play Joe Saun- ders, the part made famous by the late Louis Aldrich. For the first time on speare’s '‘Measure for Measure” was played in Vienna last month was not well received. The result is mainly charged to the bad translation. It is said that when Julla Marlowe played “Ingomar” in Chicago eight years ago the B receipts were $60. This season she layed in the same drama to recelpts of 1,800 for one performance. A Jeading German actress, Fraulein Falcke of Potsdam, has had to enter an asylum with a view of curing hysteria brought on by the emotional intensity with Which she napired her 8cting. While King Edward has asked that the re{(ullr London theaters close on the day of his coronation he has not included the music halls in his request and the,K man- agers of the former do not like the Al tinction made. The London critics made violent attacks on “Ben Hur,” but as royalty has paid several visits to the production and the theater-goers are flocking to the perform- ances the critics' onslaughts have been borne by the management with patience and resignation.

Miss Mary Mannering is to forsake the comedy and light sentimental roles that have been her forte and undertake the heavier creations of the drama. This fact has come out through a hint given by Clyde Fitch of the nature of the play he is writing for Miss Mannering. It is a drama of New York life, in which the star will have a strong emotional part. Mr. Fitch has written to Frank McKee, manager of Miss Mannering, that the play is nearing completion and that it will be ready for production in the autumn. . and Players, record Shake- Ante Room Echoes The visiting Shriners have gone on their way eastward and the Nobles of Tangler Temple, whose inclination and leisure per- mitted them to visit the meeting of the imperial council are well on their way to the Golden Gate, where, under the balmy skies of the Pacifio coast, they will bask in the light and imbibe the waters of Zem- Zem with which every fountain will sparkle for a week. The present visit of the Shriners to the coast will be memorable in the history of the order, for there will be no limit to the cordial welcome and rare entertaln- ment which will be accorded the residents of the east and middle west by thelr brethren of the coast. The program which has been prepared for thelr entertainment is ome which could be duplicated in no other part of the country and those who are to be the guests of California—for in the scope of the reception planned the en- tire state will be drawn upon for novel and interesting features—will be given th most strenuous as well as the most movel entertainment ever planned. There will bo a day of what might be called studies into the characteristics of the universal human race, as it will include & trip through Chinatown and the numerous small col- onies of exotic races which rest in nooks and corners around San Francisco, keep- ing up the customs of their fathers in a land far removed from that of thelr ma- tivity. The civilization of the east will be brought iato juxtaposition with the clve \lization of the west In & way that has been attempted but with partial success in the “midways” and “streets of nationa" at world's fairs and expositions. The coming week will be filled not only with work and play over the varied bays, tslands and mainland around San Fran. cisco, but the imperial train which will be joined by the Omaha party at San Frane olsco will go to the “citric belt” of the state and at Los Angeles Colonel Akin will for the first time outside of the conven- tion city recelve the homors due to the imperial potentate of the greatest of the purely social and charitable orders. In the meantime the stay-at-homes of Tangier temple are keeping the lamps lighted for the return of the fmperial tratn Just when that train will arrive on the re- turn trip 1s not known, but when it does there will be a grand demonstration on the part of the local temple only surpassed by ita efforts at the reception and enter- tainment of the imperfal council at the session held In this city several years ago. The programi for thia reception 18 not com- pleted at this time, or rather it fs subject to amendments, but enough is known to warrant the prediction that the visitors who will come from every quarter of the land will recelve entertainment fitting for those who have made the journey to Mecca. The meeting of the Masonic grand lodge last week was one of considerable inter- est to the craft, although mo question of burning importance was consldered, The grand lodge will meet In Omaha again next year and it is highly probable that it will conclude to hold no meetings outside of Omaha, where preparations can be m: for them on a scale not possible in sm: citfes, 1 Today s Memorial Sunday in two of the orders of the city, the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias. The program of the ceremonies to be observed by the former were published last week, and there' will be no change in the order which will be carried out at Odd Fellows' hall at 2:30 b m. The Knights of Pythlas will meet at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at Myrtle hall, in the Continental block, where the ritual service of the order will be carried out in full. The orator of the occasion is Judge W. W. Slabaugh. The program will open with Chopin's funeral march played by Mr. Gisin, planist. The opening services will then be held and the keeper of records and seal will read the roll of deceased mem- bers. A quartet consisting of Miss Silvia Grace Cady, Mrs. George VamOrman, Mr. E. Eckstrom and Mr. Charles F. Schwager will render selections, “‘Asleep in Jesus, No Shadows Yonder—No Partings Yonder,” and “Lead, Kindly Light.” ‘At Eventide it Shall be Light,” will be sung by a trio consisting of Miss Cady, Mrs. Van Orman and Miss Emily Boltz. Miss Cady will eing, “Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" and cholr and audience will joln in singing “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” The meeting will close with an address by the chancellor commander. The Masons at Aurora entertalned visit- ors from lodges at Hampton, Phillips and Glitner on the evening of June 3. The event which brought them together was the conferrinig of the past master's degree upon W. E. Welsh, master elect of Giltner lodge. After this degree was conferred work was done In the third degree, three candidates being advanced. The meeting closed with & banguet. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the foun- dation of the Royal Arcanum will be cele- brated by the six councils of the order in this city, June 21. There will be a basket picnic at Lake Manawa. The program will be issued by the committee having it in charge in a few days. Head Consul Northcott of the Modern Woodmen visited Omaha and Lincoln this week to show the members of the orders in this state the advantages to be derived from the change in the assessments for the beneficlary fund, as recommended by the committee appointed to investigate the mat- ter. The weather was against the Omaha meeting, but in spite of the heavy rain a large number, of the members were at the Crelghton-Orpheum to greet the head of the order. Since his address the question of change in rates has become a living one in the city and where two or three Modern Woodmen meet it is about the sole topic for discussion. The Osceola Masons at their last weeting elected officers as follows: Dr. L. M. Shaw, worshipful master; Dr. F. E. Hart, senior warden; Judge F. H. Ball, junior warden Colonel J. H. Anderson, secretary; Mr. Cas. sius M. Pulver, treasurer. Banner lodge, Fraternal Union of Amer- fca, postponed its entertainment one month on account of the storm Thursda Clan Gordon, No. 63, Order of Scottish Clans, held its regular meeting Tuesday evening, in Continental block, where de- spite the warm weather, there was a good gathering of Clansmen. Six applications for membership were dealt with and it was agreed to have the usual annual plenie in August. The members of braska lodge, No. 7, Knights of Pythias, will decorate the grave of thelr deceased brothers next Sunday morning, attending the memorial ceremon- fes at Myrtle hall in the afternoon, to which all Pythians and the public are in- vited.

Particulars at City Ticket Office, 1403 Farnam st., Omaha, Neb v Musical In further pursuance of the discussion of music and art, bills for which have already been introduced in both houses of con gress, the following excerpts from Mr Kowalsky's pamphlet (which i on file as senate document No. 859) will be of inter- est The point he makes as to the establish- ment of preparatory schools is a good one and it fs true that a national institution properly controlled would become an in- spiration and an encouragement to the private teacher and would become a standard which would sift the good from the mediocre, the truth from the pretense. “It will glve an undoubted boom to music all over the land; it will cause hundreds of preparatory institutions to be estab- lished, because only pupils who have at- tained a sufficently high standard will be accepted into the national conservatory. But from the matfonal conservatory will go forth what will be required of the respect- tve pupils, and the preparatory schools will educate up to this standard so their pupils can take the examination. Where are we golng to get the talent necessary to fill all these professorships? Well, that is easy. The most of them we would bring over from Burope; they will be glad to come on a five-year contract. There are many good men fn America who can be employed. If we bring to America Europe’s greatest masters and have them cast thelr musical influence aver the land, is not that sowing the seed and will it not yield us a big crop of musiclans? It is said, ‘Oh, it 18 in the air in Europe.’ Well, we will put it in our air. America has a large cosmopolitan population. The blood of our foreign ancestors has not left all our veins as yet and the music that filled the souls of our forefathers is smoldering and only needs awakening.” I think with Mr. Kowalsky, that our cosmopoliton population augurs well for our musical future. There are the poetic races whose ances- tral representatives have heard in bygone days the charmed words from the living lips of a Heine, a Bobby Burns and a Tom Moore. The people from the land of Gounod, St. Saens, Dellbes, Bizet, and those from under the blue skies which smiled on Verdl, Donizettl, Rossinl and the old mas- ters. We have also the Danish, the Russlan, the Swedish and the Norweglan, with their wonderful, melodious folk songs and songs of nature. And old England has her sturdy sons and healthy daughters here among us, men and women whose grandparents were thrilled by the grand old “Gothic” music, 1t one might use the word, the mellow music of the oratorio and the stained-glass har- monies of the old cathedral service. A national movement would quicken the clrculation In the now sluggish musical sys- tem and would make for progress in every- thing that pertains to the ennobling, uplift- ing and comforting of this poor old tired human race, which needs simply encourage- ment, sympathy and rest. Music will bo a solace always. While passing over this subject the thought occure to me that this is the time when many schools and colleges and con- servatories of music will be “graduating” in music. Every student should be warned |that this does not mean the “finishing’ of a musical education. The lawyer who has his “sheepskin” or the doctor who has just tramed his diploma, is simply ready to be- gin the real study of his profession. He begins to study and to “practice.” So ghould it be with the student of music. His graduation diploma should be consid- ered merely a ‘‘permit” to study and prac- tice. He has simply learned how ‘“not” to do things, he must at once begin to learn how to “do” them. But alas, many of them can simply pose and talk largely about technical monstrosi- ties and the advantage of the Markeasy method over all others, especially the one in vogue at the school across the way. This implies a very limited education. There 1s only one truth and it stands for itself, though pretenders and false prophets arise by hundreds to defeat it. By thelr fruite Indeed shall they be known just as people were in those days of long ago when a great teacher propounded the proposition that one need mot expect to gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles! But to return to the Kowalsky article: The writer of the pamphlet proceeds to the discussion of the actual necessity for an American national conservatory, and I think he uses a sledge-hammer argument in its favor when he points out, as he does in the following lines, that the great bene- fits will necessarily be enjoyed by the young man or woman of limited means, persons who could not dream of afford- ing the price of & trip abroad. Surely surely it would be & great school “for the people.” The rich can afford to go abroad; the poor (but talented) must etay at home. Should America not protect them to a de- gree? 'No private institution can create a stand- ard that would or could be accepted by the nations of the world. But what America dces as & nation will be respected and honored by the world, without question, and when this government places its stamp on the diploma of the graduate it will mean that he is armed with a high-class cre- dential that makes him the equal of any man who steps out of the Royal conser tory of Leipsiz, Luge, Brussels, Munich or Rome. “It is important to consider how grand the opportunity will be for the genius of the American boy and girl who can not go abroad, but who can become & master in his own native land, in muslo as well as in painting. The price one pays for an old master in these days of great wealth is so fabulous that only the rich million- aire can be the possessor. Our walls con- tain enough of European scenes. Nature in her grandeur bestowed upon us a few specimens of its wonders, and there 1is natural beauty beyond the brush of mortal man in the Yellowstone, the Yosemite, Ni- agara Falls, Hudson river, the Great Lakes, the Rocky mountains, our grand rivers, the home life of the New England farmer or the rugged westerner, all grand and great subjects, as well as our birds and cattle. Let us produce all nature on can vas. Burope will buy from us, and if she doesn’t we can sell American-painted ple- tures to Americans in America. Thus spake Kowaleky, may his tribe in- crease. We have the scenery and we have not been lacking in poets. Who has not been thrilled with the nature poems of Sidney Laniere, if he has ever read one? It you have not—do so at once. Read Clover,” the “Hymns of the Marshes," ‘The Waving of the Corn,” “Psalm of the West,"” “Corn,” and others just as good. Musicians are born. They may be bora in America. Why not, Let us bulld musical schools then, that the born musicians may be educated aright. The friends of Mr. Walter Young, for- merly organist of the First Conkregational church of this ecity, will be glad to hear of his success in the east. A friend of his advised me last week that he had se- cured the position of organist in a leading ehurch in Worcester, Mass., that old stronghold of good music, whose festivals have been famed all over this country. Mr. Young triumphed over a large number of ts.
