THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1902 Amusements And now the debate is, Have we an Amer- fean dramatist worthy of the name? Up to date the opinion i« all one way. We have mot. Broneon Howard, the veieran, who, be it to his credit sald, néver imitated, says the American dramatist s still to come. When he, does come, he will find a bewil- dering wéalth of material awaiting his touch to spring into life and beauty. In the het- erogenous mass that makes up our cltizen- whip there are many types; in the sectional divisions of our great country there are re- markable variations of character, and each section has its subdivsions, until the fleld for selection is all but {llimitable. Bronson Howard very uearly struck 13 with his ‘‘Shenandoah” and. “The Henrletta,” but both of these plays fell just a little short of real greatness. Each portrays a phase of American life, strongly drawn and vividly presented, but npeither is typlcal of more than a small section. Each has beent imi- tated by writers of less abllity than the suthor, who have only succeeded in distort- ing his pletures without in any way tmprov- ing them. Augustus Thomas has given us some beautiful pastels of certaln phases of American life, notably *Alabam: zoura” and “Arizona,” but all are sectional in types and coloring, and in a measure ephemeral in nature. Mark Twain's “Pud- @'nhead Wilson,” weak as a story, afforded material for a play of great strength and one which long delight both the casual play- goer and the student with its pictures of a life that has passed forever: but, lfke “M'las” and “Tenncssee’s Pardner” it only shows one of the facets of the multiform life of the great west. A few other plays may be included in this list, but these are enough to indicate the task that must be achieved by he who writes what shall stand out as the distinctive American drama. It seems reasonable to hope that the dramatic writ- ers will soon cease to give us plays built on, novels that are “popular,” or weak im- ftations of English and French dramas, and out of the lavish array of materlal that only awaits handling construct for Americans plays that deal with American entiments by American methods. This is not jingoism. It is hardly an appeal ‘o patriotism. It 1s merely the expression of & wish that American play makers will abandon forelgn flelds to the forelgn writ- ers and give us something original. Writ- ers of fiction have done it, and writers of pla well, 80 It 1s not at all unreasona- ble to ask that it be done again. One of the hopeful signs in this regard comes from Utah. Next month at Salt Lake a most ambitious production will be given a play by a western writer, dealing with a fleld that has hitherto been unen- tered by the dramatist, although some nov- elists have browsed around its edges, that of prehistoric America. That a great clv- {lization existed on this continent prior to the advent of the European is beyond ques- tion, Stupendous ruins, marking the loca- tlon of former populous cities, with exten- sive palaces, magnificent temples and all that goes to make oity life on a sumptuous seale, which in itself presupposes a coun- try Iife equally highly developed, prove conclusively the existence of a peo- ple or peoples with ideas far o advance of the Indlan or even the Aztec. Into this virgin world the bold dramatist from Salt Lake has plunged and out of his material has constructed a play under the title of ‘‘Corlanton.” No de- talled synopsis of the plece has as yet been given the public beyond the fact that it is a romance of that period, that it has & re- liglous aspect and that an army of people will be required to present it. The plece is timed In the year 76 B. O, and is leged to be founded on the “‘Golden Bible, the Book of Mormon. It is written Orestes Bean and is owned by the Donnt Dramatic syndicate. On August 11 at the Balt Lake theater it will be given its first presentation. Joseph Haworth will have the leading part and will be assisted by an all-star cast from New York. One hundred volces from the great Mormon tabernacle choir will furnish the voecal numbers inel- dent to the play; the ballet will contain 100 beautiful western girls and 100 young Mormon men will make up the Astec bodyguard. Scenery and costumes from New York, efcient stage direction and lavish equipment promise to make this the most notable production .ever put on ‘n the west. It is certalnly the most am- bitious. The selection by King Edward of Charles Wyndham for knighthood instead of George Alexander or Beerbohm Tree seems to have been expected by London theatrical people. Mr. Wyndham is“older in years d stage” distinction than either of the others, his soclal hold is firmer and he has dove more for charity. Mr. Wyndham is not an American by birth, as many have supposed, but he served in our federal army during the first year of the war of the rebellion, and made his debut as an sctor with John Wilkes Booth in a Shake- spearean cast. He returned to England fn 1865 and went into Henry Irving's Sent Fres 1o Men.

His first Lon- don achlevement was In “Brighton,” a ocalized version of Bronson Howard's Saratoga,” in which he played the lisht comedy role, which James Lewis bad as- sumed In Augustin Daly's production. His sister is the wife of Mr. Howard. After establishing himself as a favorite In farces at the Criterion he took to comedies, uch as “Still Waters Run Deep” and David Garrick.” Among his later pleces were “The Bauble Shop,” “Rosemary” and “The Tyranny of Tears,” each of which ylelded a part for John Drew in this coun- try. His latest success was “‘Mrs. Dane's Defense,” and his latest fallure was with “The Mummy and the Humming Bird.” The other actor knights are Henry Irving, who earned the honor by his development of dramatic art in all its branches, and Squire Bancroft, who is not unanimously thought to have deserved it except for high respectability, though he did bring out ths Robertson comedies. There 18 no way to ascertain whether Francis Cowley Burnand was knighted as editor of Punch or as a playwright. He has written more than a hundred extravaganzas, including “Ixion,” in which Lydia Thomp- son and her English blondes Introduced themselves in New York. Some of our old timers may recall that frisky troupe with its Lisa Weber, Pauline Markham and Ada Harland, now Mrs, Brander Matthews. But Mr. Burnand’'s contributions to the stage have not all been frivolous. He I8 the author of a dozen quite serious dram Still, it seems unlikely that the king pre- ferred him as a playwright over Pinero, Jones, Grundy and other better workers than he in stageland. Doubtless the re- ward was for belng Punch's editor. There is the same kind of speculation to the knighting of Conan Doyle and Gilbert Par- ker. Dr. Doyle wrote “The Story of Waterloo" for Irving and provided the ma- terial for Mr. Gillette’s acting version of “Sherlock Holmes,” but probably the nar- ratives of the astounding detective were what carried the point for him. Mr. Parker Is a dramatist of his own novels. The bestowal of knighthood on John McDougall displeases some theatrical people because, s chairman of the committes on theaters in the London County Councll, he led a movement against the sale of Intoxicating beverages not only in music halls, but in dramatic houses as well. His crusade made a vast deal of trouble for the managers, but at length he modified his views consider- ably and vaudeville gained greatly through its Incidental exploftation. Coming Event For the opening of the new week today Krug Park presents one of the lengthiest and most varied high class programs of the season. One of the sensational features will be a balloon race between Prof. J. Waldrof Hall and Prof. S. M. Heller, who have made enviable records of ascensions and parachute leaps. The former claims the record for high ascensions. The man- agement has hung up a purse, besides which the men bhave made side bets. The race will commence at 6 p. m. if the weather conditions permit. Another in- teresting number will, be the moving pic- tures of the Mount Pelee volcanic disaster, the most terrible calamity of the age. The scenes show the action of the volcano and the burning city of Martinique, vividly dis pleting the horrors of the fire. The Lor- etta family, who contribute to the vaude- ville portion of the bill afternoon and even- ing, make their initial appearance. Two of them are twins, six years of age, while the third one, who is a funny clown, is nine years old. Thelr stunt includes glant y | *Ving, forward and backward, with somer- sault off, freo knee swing with drop fin- ish, foot wheels and other difficult feats. Vennetta King, the pretty young cornet virtuoso, will be un extra musical feature. Huster’s concert band will render an en- tire change of program, embracing works of the best known standard. composer: Director Huster will play a selected num- ber on the trombone., Messrs. J. C. Lott and F. Schollhouse will play a duet for cornet and baritone. In the evening the “Passion Play” will as usual be presented, while Mr. Danlel Hurley recites the story of the “Life of Christ’ The excursion through the morth rich grove is one of the popular things of the park with the young women and children. On Wednesday eve- ning the fifth ragtime concert will be glven by Huster's band. These events have increased In popularity, the last one break- ing all records for week-day attendance with one of the most fashionable gather- ings that ever visited the park.

It is now thought to be a good thing to escape from all kinds of work it possible. It is, Powever, a bad time to let one's musical endeavor wane and one's artistic impulses cool. Now is the dangerous time for the student. A lapse into indifterence now may cause a good amount of hard work later, which might as well be avoided. This is & good time to develop one's own resource. Even if the teacher has left for a vacation or has closed his studio for a time, that fact should not prevent “the stu- , has it not occurred to you that the teacher does not really teach the actual “you,” but rather to teach yourseit. He is for he shows you the pitfal the dangerous places, the things to avold. He shows you how you must direct the thcughts of your own brain, how you must teach yourself (o accomplish tnmgs, by polnting out the obstacles—and how to get rid of them. After all, the real art of doing anything Is knowing how to remove all obstacles, so that the real principle may be free to act. Is not the great actor, the one who has been successful in gotting rid of the arti- ficlal mannerizme, the stilted express:on and the stereotyped formula. Onme who, creat- ing new characters, 1s, for the time being, the actual personality whom he aeplots, and not “Mr So-and-So as Richard the Third.” Is not the great singer he who is “Tristan” or she who is “Marguerite,” the Idiosyncracies of the person singing, belng dispersed and scattered, in the towering suggestion of the personality depicred? Take it In practical housework, Is it not the housekeeper who knows how to mix ingredients properly, leaving out the ob- stacles to success, excluding over-propor- tlons of\ this and that, keeping the fire bright and frée and the utensils clean and useable; is 1t nbt she, I say, who is suc- cessful in the art of cooking? Take the successful farmer, for example; does he not plant his seed, keep down tho weeds (obstacles again) and leave the vital principle free to act? And s he not an artist in that he has discovered the art of leaving the life prineiple free to act? Is it not true, then, that the real art of dolng anything is knowing how to remove all obstacles so that the life principle s to act?

One must learn from a teacher how to lay ide the weights, but he must also leara how to lay them aside—for himself—in- dividually. Now is the time. The days of summer are here. I would urge upon every stu- dent who reads this column to make this summer season one of personal achleve- ment, of eritical self-examination, of earn- est thought on the question, “What am I doing for my teacher?’ rather than “‘What is my teacher doing for me?” Each one (of us who are pursuing the study of the great art of music) has inherent in him- self, in herself, a tremendous potentiality, a powerful possibility, a great opportunity. Timid though you may be, it is there. Difident though you may be, it is thers. Skeptical though you may be, it is there. What are you doing with it? Are you expecting a teacher to develop it for you? You are deceived. He cannot do it. He can stand as a guldepost, with arm outstretched, showing you the way, but, like the guidepost, he cannot go with you. You must enter the path and walk steadfastly, faithfully, fn the way the suidepost points out. You ocannot take the guldepost with you. You must go it alone. But, ever and ever, as you look back, the guidepost will still be encour- aging you onward. And mark you, mark you well, that he who placed the guidepost there knew, of & truth, that the destination to which it pointed was a reality. Follow the dire tions of the teacher, but don't expect him to go with you. Go yourself. You must. You cannot arrive at your destination otherwise. You can mever get there by banging around the guldepost. Move on! An innovation has been introduced in & church in the model city of New York, from which we are suppased to take all our cues for proper musical ideas. The church of the Baptist brethren on Lexing- ton avenue varied the ususl program by having & whistling solo during the recel ing of the offertory. After the service the lady who whistled was induced to give ‘The Mocking Bird,” whether this re- ferred to the lady herself in regard to her attitude toward church worship I do not kmow, But the dispatches say the “worshipers were entertained.” There is & little sentence which is suficlently in- congruous, ““Worshipers were enter- talned.” Now, it might be & good idea to fntro- duce the “Florodora” sextet, the minister and choirmen taking the “Tell Me Pretty Mailden,” and the choirwomen snd congre- “There are a few, kind sir.” The assistance of the puckered lips and inflated cheeks, in sacred whistle blent, Is & new but perhaps necessary adjunot to the exposition of the plain, simple rules of life which the sincere clergyman is sup- posed to remind us of Sunday after Sun- day. If it has come to pass that good Bap- tist “worshipers” go to church for that kind of “entertainment,” I have nothing to | say against Sunday golf. An fnteresting feature must not be over- looked. We are told that the lady “whistlist” “wore a dress of pure white,’ and “she 1s 19 years of age.” In future I shall expect all local church soloists to notify me of the costume to be worn dur- ing the offertory and a “public notary” atement as to age when they send In church notices for this column. 1 see now why wé' have had so much rain lately and so little sun. A certain church of the Episcopal faith, whose chimes are heard every Sunday—a church not far trom the postofice—has a choir, and this cholr has been persistently advising us for weeks that “The sun shall be no more.” The cholrmaster manages to get this anthem advertised so frequently that I call his attention to the fact that the corn erop needs pleaty of sun, and the reports are that small grain is In questionable shape. It is also devoutly to be hoped that the congregation of that church will soon raise up and answer the question so fre- quently put by the choir, “Who are these that are arrayed in white robes The charch I refer to Is a notable institution as regards rectitude, for the dean and the choirmaster are falr and right. Miss Mabelle Crawford, one of Amer- fea’s foremost contraltos, s visiting triends in the city and enjoying a well- earned rest. It is mot likely that she will be heard here in solo work.
