'rma OMAHA DAILY BER: SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1008, Amusements Midsummer's dullness has come over | the world of the player. All the joyous chatter that rang during the days of re- lease at the close of the season has dfed out and the chatterers have hied them- selves away to Burope, to the seashore, to the mountains or to the summer stocks. Here's the rub for the actor person who doesn’t save enough from his winter sal- ary to live through the summer. While his more provident or fortunate colaborers in the fleld of Art are disportiag them- selves in the varlous ways known to sum- mer idlers, he is learning two parts a week, attending dally rehearsals and nightly performances with two matinees per thrown in, and wondering It he will land a place with a tar” company next winter, or if he will have to put in an- other season with a ‘“rip” show. He doesn’t have time to think of the actor who Is even less fortunate than he, and who is doing all sorts of stunts, such as beating carpets, mowing lawns, and the like for his daily rations. With the prom- ise of hotter weather, the work of the summer stock actor will become harder, while his audience will grow smaller as the attendance at the outdoor party in- cre Summér vaudeville, which can Le done in open alr, while beer and music and starlight fill in between turns, will soon hold sway undisputed, while the rest- less publie in its demand for amusement will forget about the poor actor in the down town theaters. During all this time managers are busy laying plans for the campaign, which opens in September. Fow formal announcements with regard to next season’s plays and players have been made, as yet, but a partial list of the entertainments to be prepared may be printed with reasonable safety at this time.

He compelled Jane Hading to rechristen “The Half Virgins" for a Lon- don production in Prench, and she, with perhaps a spirit of satire, called it “Maud,” a name somehow suggestive of pure inno- cence. His absolute refusal to license Maurice Maeterlinck's “Monna Vanna' hag provoked a discussion that is bound to advertise the plece for Mrs. Pat Campbell's use next season in this country. Actors and authors wrote to the newspapers in opposition to the cemsor and organized a makeshift soclety, before whom the forbidden work was “privately” performed. The published reviews generally approve the official action. “What makes the gorge rise at ‘Monna na,! ys ome critle, “is mot merely the crude indecency of the scene in which a married woman pre- pares to offer herself naked to a bestial soldler, but as well the foul atmosphere of the whole play.” The London Era, a very conservative journal, thus speaks of the play: Perhaps this attempted degradation of the' draina, which nas been prohibited in England, was the one thing necessary to {llusiraté go forcibly the moral irrespon- sibility and mental decrepitude of the * vanced” dramatic cult, that many of the humbug pretenders who have set them- selves up as superior beings, will begin t soe themselves as others see them.

This bill proved to be one of the most pleasing of any of the bills pressnted last summer by the Ferrls Stock company, and Mr. Ferris has been virtually forced to again present it, as he has received over & hundred different letters from his many patrons in this city asking that the play be presented again, It is & comedy drama and a play in which Mr. Ferris is seen at bis very best, he playing the part of Jim Mayne. On Thursday evening “My Jim" will give way to & melo-drama, “The She- Devil.” This play was written by Miss Hayward, and is sald to be the best she hgs yet written. The scenes of this play are lald in Corsica and the story tells of the vendetta formed by the daughter of Colonel Della Rebbla against his family ene! who were the cause of the col- onel's assassination. Both Mr. Ferris and Miss Hayward appear in the leading roles in the bills. Buffale Bill's Wild West show will be in Omaha on Thursday, July 31. This is suf- ficlent announmement, for every one knows Bill Cody and the kind of show he gives, It is the one wild west show that holds the hearts of the people. Colonel Cody earned his fame as & scout and plalnsman by acutal effort, and has many friends in Omaha who knew him in the days when the country east of the Missouri river was a country unkmown to him. They have watched with pleasure the spread of his fame until now when the boy of the Ne- braska stage station has become the men who is known throughout two continents, His show this year is bigger and better than ever, and that is saying & great deal, for the Buffalo Bill show has always beem the biggest and best of its kind. Afternoon and evening performances of & program embraciug a lst of varied free Attractions will be presented at Krug park today. The most ymportant acrobatic feature is Tom, Babe and Fred, a per- formance including wmost difficult somer- .m"r new: 4 hand-balancing, and introdue- ing what is sald to be the only canine “topmounter.” They are well known in vaudeville and for a timé were with Ring- ling’s circus. The band will play two en- tirely new programs, including selections by the standard popular and classical au- thors. Director Huster will play a selected solo on the trombone and Mr. J. C. Lott ‘will rend: “My Creole Sue™ on the cornet. 8. N. Heller, the aeronaut, will make bal- loon ascensions and.parachute leaps. The interest in the “Passion Play” retains its hold on the people and it will therefore be given every evening, while Daniel Hur- ley recites the story of the “Life of Christ.” Burro riding, bowling, swinging, shoot- ing, the merry-go-round and other pastimes will usual constitute part of the pleas- ures. On next Wednesday night Huster' band will give another ragtime concert. During rush hours on Sundays and other days of big attendance extra cars are run on the Fifteenth street car line from Howard street north to relleve the erush on the Thirteenth street and Walnut Hill line. With incressing temperature, Courtland Beach offers extra attractions to its in- creasing patrons. The Rouens give their opening performance today at 3:46 and 8:45 o'clock. Two balloon ascensions and parachute jumps will take place, provided the wind is not so strong that the large bag will catch fire, Mr. Brnest Nordin, the musical director, has selected a pro- gram that l& bound to please all music lovers. Among the selections particularly noticeable are to be found the overture, “Zampa,” selections from the operas “Car- men,” also “Faust” and a “Die Post Im Waldo,” by Mr. H. Rohrs, the well-known cornet soloist. The Geergla Berenaders having proved such a popular attraction at Lake Manawa and glven such universal satistaction to patrens, have been re-engaged by Manager Grifiths and will today open in ‘‘The Warmest Coons in Dixie.” The numerous other free attractions will take place dally s usual and Covalt’s concert band has aa unusually attractive program t. includes Cogley and Beck’s, the Omaha composers, latest success, “Tom Ne'er Do Well.” Active preparations have begun by the Omaha Guards and Thurston Rifles for their annual military show to be given at the Base Tall park August 12 to 16 inclusive. It is the intention of the companies to re- produce from year to year some battle fought in the late Spanish-American war. This year they will produce in elaborate de- tall the battle of Ban Juan del Monte Bridge. It was near this bridge that hos- tilities opened with the natives, in which the Thurston Rifles took an active part. The bridge and river will be reproduced as near as scenic art can make them, The Or- pheum scenic artist and gtage manager bave been engaged to build the set. Com- plete, it shows the bridge and river im the foreground, with a background over 600 feet long, representing the surrounding country. The first part will be the usual camp scene and incldents thereto, in which a number of interesting specialties will be introduced, umong them the gatling section of the Omaha Guards, which recently toured the country.

Musical For the third time in Its history the ohelr of the First Methodist Episcopal church singe a funeral service in memory of a de- parted clergyman, who was in closs touch with them and with their work. Rev. John McQuold, who fell asleep a few short sea- sons ago; Bishop John P. Newman, about the same time, and now Rev. Augustine C. who left last week to hear the cholr invisible, iug off the earthy tabernacle of this body, in Chicago, on Thursday even- ing. Today his cholr will sing a song of hope, a song of that place where there are no shadows, where all is light and song. And with the thought of the great master-poet each one will devoutly sing of an earnest desire that “there may be no moaning of the bar when I put out to " The doctor, whose ministry, as far as his choir wa concerned, was one of mutual appreciation, has met his Pllot face to face. His bark has been wafted o'er the boundless deep by winds of gentle fullness, and as he has “turned again home” he left behind him a deep and beautiful sea of kind thoughts, generous actions, great plans ful- filled and deeds of valor done in the church militant. With such clergymen as Dr. Hirst cholr work is a pleasure. When the recording angel looks over his record he will not find many places where the word of praise was withheld. Dr. Hirst knew full well the value of the ministry of music. Many and many a time has his presence at rebearsal been a delight. And he used to enjoy the working out of musical details. Is it any wonder, then, that the choir would listen spellbound to his description of the con- version of the Priestess of Python, or fol- low him in his tremendous torrents of ora- tory as he expanded on the vital verity of the faith of our fathers. Such clergymen never have trouble with thelr choirs, and cholrs under such a min- {stry are drawn very close to the kingdom, which, we are told, must be entered into as & little child. I know nothing of Dr. Hirst as a theolo- glan, nor do I worry thereat. But I do know that music in Omaha has lost a close friend and the best ideals of church music & stalwart supporter and enthusiastic cham- ton. e He has gone—a little way ahead, that's alll I have received a letter from a friend who {nforms me that the Ellery band is making & most emphatic success under the new leader. My friend read the article in this column some weeks ago in which I com- mented upon the fact that Creatore and bis band were coming here without Cre- atore, The letter is accompanied with a ewspaper clipping highly eulogistic of the new leader, 1 saw in a paper last week that the Audi- torlum directory had selected as the official opening nullfl of the Auditorium a plece called the “March of the White Rats.” This is gratitying. Next! Mrs. J. 1, Cook will sssist the choir of the Walnut Hill Methodist church today, singing for the offertory music a solo, “Face to Face.” Mr. Marion Green, bass sololst of St. Luke's church, Dubuque, was a caller at this office yesterda: He was on his way te Denver to fill an engagement there. I passed him over to the redoubtable Taber at that point. Mr. Taber is organist of & prominent church there, There & one musician in Omaha whose work is done in & very obscure place and yet I have no doubt but that his music is heard by more people every Sunday than any organist or choirmaster in the city. He has been playing twice every Sunday and his programs have been very varied. and, in spite of all that, he has never had & program in this paper, nor has his name ever crept into print here. I refer to Mr. Lanzendorter. His studio is in the belfry of Trinity cathedral and his instrumeni— the cathedral chimes. His work has been most distinctly gratifying. His tempo is good, his tones are well brought out with- out balting and without “‘syncopation.” He has been reviving a number of the old tunes and they have come with an irre- sistible charm to us in the last few weeks. His work has been noticed and I offer him my sincere congratulations. N THOMAS J. KELLY, MUSICAL LIFE IN NEW YORK Opportunities for Advancement Of- fered Musieal St nt—Na- tional Conservatory. The custom of sending musical students abroad to acquire the training necessary for a professional career has been decried as long as it has been a custom. The re- ply to all objections was that only in Europe could the musician find ample op- portunities to pursue his studies. It was not alone that the best teachers lived in Germany and France, but the general fa- cflities for musical advancement were im- measurably superior te those offered in this country. While this wast true, it is so no longer. But the change has come about so gradually that it is difficult to make people realize it, says the New York Evening Post. There are fifteen or twenty professional schools for the study of music in New York City proper and a half-dozen more in Brooklyn. Most of them are well conducted and offer a satisfactory training in vocal and Instrumental performance and in the theoretical study of music, although as to the last, the demand for it is not press- ing as one could wish. The percentage of those who study harmony and counterpolnt is very small and is confined almost ex- clusively to professional students, But this is probably true in all parts of the world, The faculty of the National Conservatory of Music (to take the most promineat of these schools) includes several men, con tact with whom Is itself an inspiration. This institution, founded by Mrs. Jeannette M. Thurbfir. has had a long and honorable t under her guldance. During his sojourn ln this country Amtonin Dvorak was dean of the factulty, and Rafael Josefly has been head of the plano department for some years. An excellent school of o) di- rected by Bugene Dufriche, is one of its most important adjuncts, and three years ago & notable departure was made in the formation of an orchestra of some Afty men. Gustav Hiorichs, Emil Paur, and Leo Schuls bave, In turn, guided its fortunes, and the public performances have been worthy of high commendation. Leopold Lichtenberg and Max Spicker take charge of the violin and counterpoint and com- position classes, and Henry T. Finck lectures on the history of music.

Afterward he met the einger in the corridor and sald to her: “Miss Glaser, you wake people mighty early, but it 18 a sweet awakeni Bogquets followed and new Miss Glaser Roes every afternoon to sing for the eenator, Mre. Depew accompanying her on the plano. The senator and his wife are spending the time most quietly.

Clyde Fitch writes to the World corre- spondent from St. Moritz, Switzerland, that the ciimate there seems to be doing him good, but the doctors, whose frank opinion he demanded, have advised him to make his will, because appendicitis is really the least of his troubles and the complication of dls- es renders him unfit for any eperatio . Fitch writes that despite his physictans, he retains some hope and all his pluck. Mr. Fitch belleves he would have died in Venice, stranded among unsympathetic strangers, had he not chanced to meet there ul Potter, who acted like a brother and procured for him the best care.
