THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUND ULY 6, 1902 Amusements Another of the sins of commiesion now 1814 at the doors of the dramatic writers of the dally press is that they assist in folst- ing on the public the made-to-order star Much of real fact whereon to base this cherge exists, more’s the pity. Just what 48 responsible for the conditions (hat per- tain at present and have, for that matter for the last five or six years, is not read- 1ly apphrent. Some strange sort of mania, due maybe to psychological causes not yet thoroughly defined or even isolated, has possessed both the people and the press in a large measure. During this long con tinued eilly season people have run about like children at a fair, peeping at this, that or the other thing, never examining way, never ing for something new, apparently be- wildered by the profusion ¢’ novelties and absolutely unable to form a fixed or definite judgment of one, Certaln newspapers, to whom the epithet “great” Is applied by themselves, took advantage of this condi- tion of the public mind and, abandoning the high calfing of a legitimate journal, ceased | along | il efforts to direct public thought sober, conservative ways and through safe channels to the end that only good might be had, and began to lead their followers into the unknown and uncertain realms of sensationalism. Truth, which lleth at the bottom of a well, was left undisturbed by these mongers of the salacious, the unreal, the meretriclous, and facts were either ig- nored or distorted out of all semblance to facts in their daily chase for something “new"” to lay before their readers. These newspapers did not give their patrons time | to reflect on the apparent impossibility or absurdity of one preposterous story befors | they put out another. Fake followed fake with all the rapidity possible from the speedy presses, and responsibility, both moral and legal, was drowned by the golden stream that flowed into the coffers in the counting rooms. Mechanical ingenulty added color attachments to the perfecting presses, and the dally hysteria of these journalistic irresponsibles took on an hemorrhagic hue. Success, no matter how ephemeral, begets imitation, and it wasn't very long until imitators of the sensational metropolitan paper had sprung up all over the iknd. As Imitations are rarely perfect coples, so these imitations generally exaggerated the faults and worst features ot the originals, aggravating the evil by their inherent inability to adapt the methods or produce the results. One thing alone is common to them all, the reckless dlsregard for common decency, for any- thing that resembles the truth untwisted, and the mad desire to excite the people by thelr incessant clamor. Incapable altke of calm criticlsm or de- lberate judgment, these journalistic jack- als entrenched themselves behind thelr irecords of papers sold, and pointing to the cash receipts, answered all who questioned thelr methods, “It's what the people want.” The managers of the theaters took,up the retrain, and while pouring fiith from the Jowest and vilest sources into the public ear through the medium of the grossest of plays, urbanely polnted to the gate re- celpts and suavely sald, “It's what the people want.”” One woman took a poem of unquestioned sort—which is to say its in- decency was not even veiled In tbe sub- tlety of double meaning—and by boldly reciting it with especial stress on its vul- garity, achleved a notoriety which shut the doors of decent people in her face. She 1s now a “success” on the stage. An- other woman became involved in a divorce suit, the detalls of which were too much even for a paper which prided itself on wallowing in fiith, and which had an- nounced its intention of publishing the complete testimony in this particular case, and she was “fitted” for the stage under circumstances that gave rise to many more columns of sensational newspaper stories and other stories that were never printed. She s now a most pronounced “succ her latest triumph having been achieved in the portrayal of the character of an his- torlo court Is it, then, to be won- dered at, with such notable examples, that many unworthy have essayed and in a meadure succeeded in giving “what the people want?” Unscrupulous managers and irresponsible newspapers have brought about conditions on the American stage which will some day be a source of shame to all who have the good of the actor's art in view. It is a refreshing thought, however, that through all these years of moral dementla some newspapers have stood staunchly by what is & high and honorable calling, and have gone along, unswerved from sober deliberation by the allurements of pecuniary profit, and have steadily advocated that which is good and condemned that which is bad. These mewspapers are now getting the support of the thoughtul actors of the country, and their efforts in behalf of decency, com- petency and verity are bearing fruit in the discussion that i going on among stage folks as to the condition of thetr craft and the responsibllity therefor. Oue unfortudate feature of the debate is ap- parent. In their discussions of the new: papers the actors do not undertake to dif- ferentiate between the good and the bad. The honest newspaper does not hesitate to point out the good and the bad actors. In the meantime the fusillade drawn from the writers by Mr. Richard Mans fleld's letter on acting, actors and news- papers, continues. Not much divergence of opinion exists, either, although the methods of expression vary with\the indi- vidual. Al admit that carelessnoss on the part of newspapers has been productive of carelessn on part of actors, but none are inclined to accept full respon- sibility for all that is lacking in merit on the age. They Insist that the actors themselves must accept a share of that blame, and that stage directors are also &t fault. All agree that the demand for atisfied with any, always look- | entertainment at the theater has outrun the capacity of the stage to supply, but express the hope that the natural develop ment of the art of acting will {n time remedy what 18 now as much of a mis- fortune as a fault. Locally the summer amusement season has practically been so far confined to the efforis of the Ferris stock company, for, thanks to the rainy and cold weather, the out-door parks might as well have re- mained shut. This condition of affaire has | made the six weeks very profitable ones at the Boyd, where every seat has been sold each night up till Thursday, when the hot spell began in earnest, and there was a noticeable falling off in attendance. Now that good weather for out-door amusements has come, it is likely that the open-air vaudeville at Krug's park, Coutrland beach and Manawa wil] get more attention from the public. Either one of these places could | be made immensely attractive by the addi- tion of some more ambitious offerings than have yet been held out. People must spend the hot evenings somewhere, but it is soon coming to the pass when it will take more than a balloon ascension, a band concert or & moving picture show to get them to ven- ture on_the street car expedition necessary to reach one of the three parks. One thing may be said in favor of each, the band con- certs are above the average and afford ex- cellent divertisement to those who love to listen to good music while they sip thelr beer and ‘chat with friends. The manager who can contrive to add an opera company or something of that sort to his established attractions will soon have the advantage of the others. In the Meantime for the next six weeks Dick Ferrls and his stock com- pany will continue to afford standard dra- matic entertainment to those who are will ing to spend an evening at the Boyd. Mr. Ferris has surrounded his star, Miss Hay- ward, with a.much better company this summer than was here last year and the | productions are given with great care both | a8 to detail and accuracy. The coming American tour of Eleanora Duse, for which Mr. George C. Tyler of Liebler & Co. has arranged all the details during his recent visit to Florence, Italy, will be the most important theatrical event of the season. Mr. Tyler has secured ail the concessions from the distinguished artiste that he desired and with his return e will complete his bookings and inaugu- rate his preparations for what he confi- dently believes will prove the most success- ful tour ever undertaken by a forelgn artist. Madame Duse will sail from Genoa for America on September 29, bringing with her twenty-seven people, the most capable artists that her country can boast She brings with her all scenery, costumes, etc., which she used in her productions in the great Italian cities. Her first appear- ance in America on this tour will be at the Tremont, theater, Boston, on October 20, when she will open in the D'Annunzio play of “La Giaconda.” This she will. follow with a presentation of “Citta Morta,” and then will come her grea t impersonation of Francesca da Rimini, a character in which she is beyond compare. The extension of the distinguished artiste’s tour, which Mr. Tyler secured while at Florence, makes all attempts to present a list of dates, outside of the Boston dates, speculative and vain. The precise route will be concluded upon soon after Mr. Tyler's return from Europe. Coming Events. Big business is still the rule at the Boyd with the Ferris stock company. Since its opening the Ferris company ‘has bullt up a following that will remain loyal no matter what weather conditions are. The number of these people who have subscribed for the season seats would almost fill the theater. For this week two excellent bills are given. For the first Lalf the comedy drama, “In the Hollow of His Hand,” will be given, and for the last half “‘Graustark,” a dramatization of the book of that name. This afternoon “The Crueifix” will be given its last performance. Mr. Ferris will enact the principal role in “‘Graustark.” By speclal request Mr. Ferris will shortly produce “My Jim. The feature of the diversified program of amusements at Krug Park today will be skirt dances in the sky by La Paloma, the aeronaut. The novelty of eeeing a serpen- tine dance performed among the oclouds eclipses any sensation and demonstrates that some women attempt the most daring feats of men. Huster's concert band will render entirely new programgs. Huster, the leader, will play a selected solo on the trom- bone. The talented cornet sololst, Mr. John C. Lott, will play “Now," song for cornet olo by Masino. Huster contemplates a re- quest program for the near future. On Wednesday evening the third of the ragtime concerts will be given. The current futerest that has obtained in the moving picture pro- duction of the Oberammergau “Passion Play” ehows no signs of diminishing. Since the warm weather set in large attendance has been present every evening and atten- tively watched the impressive scenecs while Mr. Daniel Hurley recited the story of tne “Lite of Christ.” As usual, some special acrobatic aerfal attractions will be giv in the arena. A trip around the park on & burro is one of the latest fads of the sum- mer girl. Commencing Sunday, July 13, the woving plciures of the Mont Beles volcanic disaster will be shown.

Her tour commences In September, wili last forty-three weeks, and her com- pany is already engaged.” Elizabeth Kennedy has engaged Theo- Babcock to play “Captain Jinks” in the production of “Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines,” In which she will appear as Mudame Trentoni next season. MT. Babcock is well fitted for the portrayal of this part, as he possesses a fine vein of comedy fn addition to having the power of making love. The young actor s often Classed with Hackett, Richman and Faver- sham as a ‘“matineé idol” in the public opinion. Last year he was leading man for Andrew Mack, and betore that engagement he filled important rolés with Nat C. Good- win, Btuart Robson and other well known stars. The names of thirty-five actors were under consideration for the role of Captain Jinks, but after several weeks of mature Qeliberation Miss Kennedy and her mana- gers decided upon Mr. Babcock as the most suitable actor for the portrayal of the dashing captaln. Klaw & Erlanger's American production of “Ben Hur, which will open the new Grand Opera house in Cincinnati, S.g/em- ber 15, will make the most extensive our it has yet played since its premiere threa years ago.

The production will be presented in every detall exactly as staged in New York, and with the same company of 850 people employed during the Iast three years. Its transpor- tation will require nine baggage cars, two cars for the trained horses and camels and thres Pullman and thres passenger coaches or the company—seventeen cars. This will be the largest organization ever sent en tour n the worf.

The young idea must be taught fo shoot, it it is only firecrackers and such, therefore let us be thankful that there is aleo a “mute, inglorious™ 5th of July. ® In our exuberant gratitude for the “fourth” let us not forget to be equally thankful for the regularly recurring if less noleesome “Afth. In the midst of the din and racket, how- ever, there is & quiet progress in connec- tion wiih the plans for next season’s choral soclety. Of course I am told that those who are ventilating the matter meet with the objection from many people “It has been tried before and bas failed.” I challenge that statement. It bas been tried before, true, the people may have failed to support it, but it of itself nas not talled. To go back into history, let us see. Apollo club under Mr. Torrens gave ber of Interesting coneert works as “The Elijah,” “Last Judgment,” “Bride of Dunkerron,” with chorus, or- chestra and soloists of national reputatton. It kept its organization until the year of the World's fair, and we all remember how things in general ran down that year and the year or so following. Was that a fall- ure? The Mondamin Choral soclety gave sev- eral good concerts In ite three years' wo including Dudiey Buck's “Golden Legen: presented by a chorus of 120 volces, orches- tra of thirty-five men and soloists of wide reputation; this was under the directio. of your present scribe, who practically merged it into the Transmissiesippl exposition cho- rus.

It closed for lack of energetic support by the music lovers who “go to things." Homer Moore left town and It disbanded. Was that s failure? it 1 think it is time to call & halt on the singer's dutles and on the depreciating of thelr previous work. It is now up to the people generally to pay up, or—well—you know. The singers don't want a society for ‘public work if the people don't. After all, the pleasure of the work is the re- hearsal. We can organize a “Rehearsal society” it nothing else, and it will be well sup- ported. Howscever it may wind up let not the student be discouraged. There will be & socidty next season.

Yet in singlng bow seldom do we find students who know the meanings of the Italian words which serve as guide posts for the interpretation of the song, sololsts who know the “ingredients.” In the Web- ster dictionary almost all of the words I refer to are to 'be found. It occurs to mie that now is & good time while on this subject to urge High school students who ekpect to siug or play that they should earnestly study their Latin roots. It is so easy’to trace most of those Itallan words by the root, and few there are who do it. Is it the fault of the pupil or of the system of Latin teachisg In vogue? lch welss nicht. Mr. . F. Steckelberg, the violinist, has been visiting friends in the city for the last week. He has been accorded a veritable continuous reception and banquet. He de- served it. 1 nmever heard Steckelberg say an unkind word about another musician, nor did 1 ever know him to do an act which was unprofessional, discourteous or un- kindly. ‘Then he has the “divine spark, and that keeps him up to the highest ideals of the art in practice and precept. His tone is marvelous and his execution is un- usually clear. Steckelberg is a student in every sense of the word. He bas won a diamond medal. That is good. He has won the honest, sincere admiration of the musical profession of Omaha; that s better. He bhas won the approval of his own inner self, and that is best of all.

[ ot Weary LONDON, July 6.—King Edward has signed the appointment of Lord Salisbury's principal private secretary, Schomberg McDonnell, to succeed Lord Esher, who re- tires from the secrctaryship of his majesty’s office of works. The Timed, in an editorial article on this matter, says it thinks it doubtful it Lord Salisbury will try to find a new secre- tary, and that the appointment of Mr. McDonnell cannot fail to revive the rumors of the premlier's resignation after the coronation. NEW YORK, July 5.—At the earliest pos- sible moment Lord Salisbury contemplates retiring from public life, but that sever- ance from affairs of the empire which he has 80 long administered is not likely to come until after the coronation, and it may possibly be further delayed for unseen reasons of state or politics. During the last few months the premier has more and more detached himself from the cares of office. With {ncreasing age his disltke of publicity and dread of details which his office-holding fnvolves have been strengthened into an antipathy so strong as to render even the conservative leaders less importunate in their demands that he remain premier. Those who have recently ‘been brought into contact with the aged statesman pri- vately comment on his absent-mindedness, which is only overcome by great effort when it Is absolutely necessary for him to deliver a public utterance on a question of importance. Peace in South Africa having been procured, Lord Salisbury. is sald to consider the crowning of the king as the moment when his services to the nation may most fitly be ended. One of those in- timately associated with the premier throughout his political career, more 8o perhaps than, any other person, said to a representative of the Associated Press to- day: I suppose that no one can have falled to notice that Lord Salisbury lately has soemed to be slipping more and more away from public life. The reports of his failing mentality are largely exaggerated, but for a long tyme it has been an open secret that he 16 extremely anxious to retire. I do not know any reason for belleving ho Wil announce his determination in the immediate future, but I fear it is only a matter of & short time, perha er the coronation. The curiously veiled Intimation in the Times this morning, when referring to the | appolntment of Schomburg McDonnell, pri- vate secretary of Lord Salisbury, to suc- ceed Lord Hersey, secretary of his maj- esty's officer of works, in which the Times says that it is doubtful if Lord Salisbury will try to find & new secretary, adding that “the appolntment of Mr. McDonnell cannot fail to revive the rumor of the premier's coronation, is the only notification here that the often re- peated baseléss rumor is now on the verge of becoming & fact. The Westminster Gazette (liberal), while not professing to know the truth or other- wise of the Times rumor, sadly admits that it Lord Salisbury retires it.will not bring the liberals into power and prophecies that the “‘unionist party, it Salisbury goes, will probably move along the line of least re- sistance, make Mr. Balfour premier, leave Mr. Chamberlain at the head of the colo- nies and exchange some old lamps for new by the process which is called reconstruc- tion. How long the reconstructed govern- ment might last and whether Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain might not change places before the end of Parliament, are questions which at present are too specu- lative to answer. SEALING DISPUTE TESTIMONY - d Assistant Secretary of State is Witness B Arbitrator. L THE HAGUE, July 6.—The taking of tes- timony by Dr. Asser, the Dutch juriscon- sul, who is arbitrator of the American- Russian ling dispute, closed yesterday with & statement of Herbert H. D.

ALL CHEER EDWARD VII OF ENGLAND Sir Thomas u;;nn, the Feast for Perso Who Organiszed the King, Looks Iy After Wants of Those Present. LONDON, July 5.—~Half a million of Lon- don’s slum dwellers were King Bdward's guests this afternoon. They were scattered in about 400 halls, echools and parks iu varylng numbers, the greatest number of the royal beneficlaries being at Stepmey, where no less than 45,000 enjoyed & dinner such as they seldom partake of. At every gathering was read a message from the king, signed by his private secre- tary, to the poor, sent through the lord mayor of London, Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale, a8 follow Buckingham Palace, 11:20 a. m am commanded by the King to inform your lordship that his majesty and the queen had intended visiting some of his corona- tion dinners today and he deeply regrets that his lliness prevents their doing so.

KNOLLYS. Thig morning’s bulletin announcing that King Edward is out of danger was also cir- culated, so that halt a million poor folks drank his majesty’s health in no restrained enjoyment out of the coronation cups pre- sented to each of them as a souvenir of the occasion. The prince and princess ot Wales traversed the metropolis from end to end in semi-stafe, the carriages being escorted by a detachment of the Horse Guards, and appeared at central gatherings in several districts, Lipton Does the Honors. The principal dinner was at Fulbam, where Sir Thomas Lipton, who organized the whole feast, did the honors of the day to 10,000 of the poor, aided by a host of titled and untitled volunteers, including Timothy L. Woodruff, lieutenant governor of New York state; Commodore Bourne of the New York Yacht club and other Amer- icans who banded around plates of beet and pudding or filled beer mugs with an enthu- siasm emblematic of the whole spirit of the occasion. The prince and princess of Wales paid their first visit to Fulbam. They en- tered the park of the bishop's palace through a triumphal arch and were re- celved by the mayor of Fulham, Sir Thomas Lipton and others. Their royal highnesecs were enthusiastically greoted by an im- mense band of scholars, who sang “God Save the Kin The prince and princess alighted and walked among the marquees, where the guests were agsembled around two and one- half miles of tables, evincing the utmost Interest in everything. At the head of the table, in the central marquee, the royal party stopped and the prince of Wales read this morning’s bulletin regarding the king's health. This was the signal for a tre- mendous outburst of cheering. Before leaving the prince of Wales expressed to the bishop of London, Right Rev. Arthur Foley Ingram, and Sir Thomas Lipton his great satisfaction at the completeness of the arrangements and emphasized his re- gret at the fact that the king was unable to be present. Actors Give Their Services. This was a sample of all the other din- pers, which were followed In every case by variety shows, upward of-1,500 operatic and music hall artists and 418 planists giving their services for the occasion. During tne course of the afternoon a second message from the king was read at the various gatherings, saying his majesty was very glad to feel that they were his guests and hoping that they would all be happy and comfortable and spend a pleasant atternoon. Accompanying the prince and princess of Wales were the duke and duchess of Con- naught, the duke and duchess of Fife, Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark, the duke and duchess of Argyl!l, Princess Henry of Battenberg, Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and the duchess of Al- bany. NO DATE FOR CORONATION Likely to Soonm Be Fixed, for Some Time in Sep- However, tember. NEW YORK, July 5.—A number of coro- nation rumors are current. The optimists say King Edward will be quietly crowned six weeks hence. Rear Admiral John C. Watson, who was to bave represented the United States navy at the crowning of King Edward, returns home, however, on July 12 and hopes to come back for the cere- mony, the date of which he is quite unable to prognosticate. The court authorities have beer-consult- ing the business world with the view of a certaining public interests prior to making any definite arrangements. The proprietor of one of the largest hotels in London urged that the beginning of October would suit the populace best. He pointed out that the king would not possibly be well enough to undergo the ceremony until August, when society will be shooting in Scotland and London would be deserted. This condition prevails up to the end of September. By October 1 also hundreds of Americans and others who are now visiting the con- tinent will be passing through the Me- tropolls on their way home. Already many ot the previously disappointed pereons have secured options of rooms for the end of September in addition to seelng the coro- nation. It 1s thought the crowning will take place some time about then. A large number of stands, at the ipstance of the government authority, remained untouched und nothing definite yet appears to have beén decided upon. Stripped of their baise coverings these stands once more make the streets bideous, and because of their inflammable nature imperil the safety of such bistorio bulldings as Westminster Abbey and fhe National gallery, which are bidden by tnese obstructions.
