f | { i 8 g { , thing else drew a DAY, DEC BEKR 14 Amusements Only one feature worthy of note marked | the week theatrically in Omah: the ap~- pearance of the Gordon-Shay Grand Opera company. ' This organization came un- heralded, all but unknown—although some of the individual members had been to Omaha before—and merely slipped in to B11 & vacancy left In the bookings at the Boyd by the sudden and serfous fliness of Mrs. Minnie Tittel Brune. Some appre- henston as to the success of the engage- ment was felt, owing to the shortness of the announcement and the well known in- difference of Omaha people to anything musical that does not bear the hall mark of greatness. Curiosity as much as any- fair audience to the opening performance, at which “Faust' was given. This one performance, in spite of apparent shortcomings, fairly estab- lished the company in Omaha and the matinee on Thursday drew much better, while the evening performance of “‘Carmen’ was a veritable triumph, Miss Rose Cecilia Shay, the soprano, winning one of the most enthusiastic and spontancous ovatlons ever given in the city, while the whole com- pany shared In the applause. This is a decided victory for art, both for the com- pany and the city, and local musicians feel that better days are dawning. None of the other attractions at the Boyd wa of a character to command more than passing notice. At the Orpheum a very good bill, with a single exception, which bas already been noted, entertained the patrons of this house. So far there is no evidence that vaudeville is losing any in point of popularity in Omaha. Some supersensitive patriots have taken objections to The Bee's criticism of “Alice of 01d Vincennes,” insisting that the senti- ment of the play is both lofty and noble, and that 1t serves as an excellent illustra- tion of the spirit that animated the Ameri- cans of 1776 in their efforts to throw off “the British yoke.” With all due respect for the opinions of these surcharged souls, the dramatie critic of The Bee must demur to their propositions. It is just because of a wholesome respect for the spirit that moved the colonists in their resistance to the decrees ot George 111 and his advisers that the parading of the cheap and tawdry wares of the patriotic novel type are ob- jected to. One of the most regrettable feat- | ures of the Yanko-Spanko war is the fact that, while its duration was too short to produce and its animus too uncertaln to inspire a Francis Scott Key or a Julla Ward Howe, it did give birth to an in- terminable list of intolerable gush in the form of “old flag” novels and ‘“‘mother” songs. And these are being dinned at us from the stage in the guise of “revolution- ary” or “patriotic romance” until the sober- minded citizen 1s disgusted with a condition | that allows the sentiment that induces a man to go forth to battle to be made the excuse for some of the most abominable acting and villainous play making that ever was inflicted on patient public. Revolution- ary of good manners, indeed, are these puta- tive purveyors of patriotism, which serve merely to cheapen the sentiment they pre- tend to exalt, and really do harm instead of good. It is not alone in this regard that “Alice of Old Vincennes” offend: Considered solely as a play, it is about as poorly put together as anything ever offered for public patronage. It abounds with faults of con- struction from first to last. For example, in the first act, although it is the fall of the year and the scene is laid at the edge of a ripened cornfield that skirts the banks of the Wabash, Alice is made to invite Annette to come and learn how to make & cherry ple. Pumpin ple would have been more seasonable, and apple ple more reasonable. At the close of this act a beau- tiful cloud and sunset effect is given, and spoiled by the presentation of a rainbow, when there has been no suggestion of a rafpstorm. All the really pleasant effect of the delightful comedy of the second act 1s ruined by the injection of the cheapest sort of melodramatic “business” at the close of the act. It would be quite natural for Beverly to make his escape from the upstairs room of Colonel Hamllton aftes he has been notified that Father Beret! canoe 18 waiting for him under the window. He could have destroyed the maps, also, as ‘was no doubt his intention. But the author couldn’t permit this. Poor Beverly is de- prived of taking the initiative in the matter and is required to listen to suggestions from Alice, who has him come back into full view of the audience, offer unnecessary violence to a sentinel and burn the papers ‘where everyone but Colonel Hamilton can see him do it. and then make enough noise to wake the seven sleepers in ‘getting out of the window. A far wmore effective and natural plece of business would have been for Beverly to disappear while the door was closed and the sergeant was somnol- ently watching on the outside. In the third act the offenses agalnst good. taste and correct dramatic construction are so many that to enumerate them would be tediou One of the most glaring, though, is the arrangement to have Beverly stricken with snow blindness. This is not only unneces- sarily cruel to poor Beverly, but is directly contrary to the nature of the allment, not to speak of its being a most serlous re- flection on the woodcraft of the man who had made that trip and brought Colonel Clarke to the rescue of Old Vincennes. It 18 only In the open, under the glare of the sun, that men are taken by that painful affiction; never in the “trackless” woods. And men whe know enough to find their way about in the timber or on the plains know also enough to protect their evcs. Then again, if the Wabash was out of its banks and the country flooded as a result of the heavy fall rains how was it possible to have such awful snow? And, last of all, in this act, under what compulsion were the Americans under Colonel Clarke to notify the British under Colonel Harilton that the attacking force was ready, and why, oh why, should the red coats be required to signal Always the Same Good Old BLATL BEER Tha Pride of Milwauk Send Peat# Card for New Brochure which tells why BLATZ B:ER I3 RICHT | ology can not be too severely reprehended back that they would be glad to recelve | the onslaught? Other heroines have been put into equally serious predicaments and | successtully extricated without resort to such antiquated me‘hods, and it would have been much more reasonable in the author to bave Alice defeat Colonel Hamilton by her wit than to subject an old and tried soldier, one who had in his desperation | thrown every punctilllo aside, to deteat at sword play by a young girl. Of course, | all of these assaults on reason are pro- | tected under the folds of the flag Alice | made and which she waved so gloriously in the first and last acts. Once more the functions of the critic are under discussion, this time because of the action of a Berlin judge, who imposed a fine of $100 on a newspaper writer who had re- ferred to en actress as a “hippopotamus.’ While applauding the action of the Berlin judge as both just and righteous, The Bee must protest against the use of the word “critie” in this comnection. As has been set forth in these columns before, the es- sential meaning of the word is “‘one quali- fled to judge; one capable of forming and expressing an opinion as to the artistic or lterary merits” of a play and its players, tor example. No man writer thus equipped will be found so wanting in verbal ammuni- tion as to resort to the poor expedient of | calling names In an effort to express disap- proval. The German language has some picturesque and even forcible epithets that may be applied in cases which demand such treatment, and the use of zoological phrase- One of the beauties of the English language is 1ts flexibility in this respect, and a writer ordinarily well equipped witlf a command of the tongue can excoriate an offender with- out actually applying a single epithet. But to get back to the original proposition: The Berlin writer proved by his offense that he 18 not a eritic; he may become one in time, and it is quite likely that the judge's les- son will ald him not a little in his progress toward the attainment of such mental equi- polee as will enable him to pass judgment without calling names, Another horror threatens us in the line of book plays. Having apparently ex- hausted the possibilities of the modern “guccesses” both in the “historic” and the plain “romantic” type of novels, having scoured the fleld of foreign fiction again and again for a story or a plot, the play- writer has turned at last to a forgotten era of American literature, and unless sur- tace indications are wrong, has unearthed what the micers call “a true fissure vein,” one that “runs from the grass roots to hades.” Announcement is made that two aspiring dramatists are working on a play | to be made on the framework of E. P. Roe's novel, “He Fell in Love with His Wife.” Now that they have started on this veln, | the wonden is that the writers of plays have so long overlooked the Roe novels. It can’t be that they were waiting for the time of the copyright to expire; it must be that the idea never occurred to them. | Certain it is that they have a rich field for any old sort of a play, soclety, melo, romantic, any drama youa like. Rev. Dr. Roe wrote his novels while his readers walted, and turned out stories based on | events of the day with a facility that makes the efforts of more modern writers seem | amateurish. “Barriers Burned Away,” for | example, would make “The Heart of Chi- | cago” look like not over 30 cents, while ‘What Can She Do?” would give any of our present-day problem plays a block the | start and beat it easily. Then for a pas- toral drama, one that has the heart inter- est, the rural atmosphere and the great moral lesson with all its embellishments and side lights, how would “Near to Na- ture's Heart” do? Of course Dr. Roe didn't | have the theater in mind when he wrote, | but he did furnish a lot of fine plots, which | are now ripe for the reaper’s hand, and | the doctor is dead and can't protest against the metaphorical putting forth of the sickle. | Coming Events. George Sidney will make his first ap- pearance as a farce comedy star at the | Boyd this aftermoon in the comedy, “‘Busy Izzy."” The plece and the star have been given excellent newspaper notices through- out the country. The engagement includes tonight and tomorrow night. The company numbers forty-five people, among them such well known farceurs as: Annle Martell, Fred Wykoff, Florence Ackley, Edward Clark, Lisle Bloodgood, Dannie Sulllvan, Vesta Bergen and the Jjugling Normans. The comedy is in two acts. The first represents a department store owned by lzzy Marks and the second a summer hotel at the seashore. Like in all farce comedies, there is little or no plot, but everything depends on the cleverness of the people. Twenty musical numbers are glven, besides dancing, chorus and spe- clalties. Mr. Sidney will be remembered the Yiddigh comedian with Ward and Vokes. By request of the music colony of Omaha and tho music-loving patrons of Boyd's theater, the Gordon-Shay Grand Opera com- pany has been booked for a return engage- ment at the Boyd by Manager Burgess. The, dates are Tuesday and Wednes | nights and Wednesday matinee. Four operas will be sung. Tuesday night a double bill | will be given, “I Pagliaccl” and “Caval- leria Rusticana.” Wednesday afternoon “II Trovatore” will be sung, and Wednei day night “Carmen” will be the attraction, Miss Shay will be heard in all the operas. On Thursday night a star and a.play new to Omaha will be introduced at Boyd's theater. The star is Katherine Willard, and the play s “The Power Behind the Throne.” The play is @ romantic drama end is sald to be interesting and full of | strenuous climaxes and situations. Tho story b the play is as follows: Arla, the daughter of the court musiclan, is loved by one of the barons of the court, but he is loved by & scheming duchess, who, In | order to win bim from the young woman, | hes her parents cast into prison. To save her aged mother and father the young | woman writes a letter at the dictation of | the duchess, in which she describes her- | selt as a wanton. The letter Is given | the baron, who gives up the girl and prom- | 1ses to wed the duchess. He later repents | and returns to his first love, and all ends | happlly. Mies Willard is supported by a | company npumbering twenty-five people, | headed by Wright Lorimer. The staging | of the production is said to be very elab- ! orate. Funny little Frank Daniels will be seen at the Boyd in his new musical comedy, “Miss Simplicity,”. for three performances, starting Friday night. He will be sur- rounded by a cast of over 100 people, which includes Frank Turper, Douglas Flint, John Wheeler, Harry Halliday, Grafton Baker, Kate Uart, Mal Lowery, Florence Holbrook | whole United States, may therefore justly | hoff to have gained recognition and fame | distinction of having raised it to the proud | note. role of Parisian styles. In his new “Blossoms” Daniels is nothing more antique than a trolley car conductor and his first stage exploit has to do with the newest development of modern invention, the automobile. Later he becomes the valet to a London swell of the period, who is slated for the kingship of a Zenda-like kingdom, and still later “Blossoms” be- comes the substitute ruler himself. Throughout these changing conditions “Blossoms’ " life is a burden of large and overpowering trouble, and equally, of course, all this trouble is the material with which Frank Danlels makes his audi- ences laugh The presence of Valerie Hergere on the bill opening matinee today at the Orpheum, | as far as headliners are concerned, makes it one of the most notable of the season and | a perusal of the rest of the roster shows | a number of names whose coming will be | very agreeable. Miss Bergere's last visit | to this city was in the “legitimate” and as | “Madam Butterfly” she made a strong im- | pression. She was scen here also as Cora in “Naughty Anthony,” another Belasco production. In “Billle’s First Lov al playette by Grace Griswold, she is sald to have another nicely fitting vehicle, and one that affords her emotions for the applica- tion of her versatile art running the gamut, from light comedy touches at the opéning to a climaxing mad scene. Supporting Miss Bergere are Menifee Johnstone, as a fault- finding, love-making husband, and Miss Belle Stoddard as heartless French actress. An acrobatic “stunt” will be con- tributed by the three Nevaros, two brothers and a sister, who perform some difficult and daring feats, among them tricks of their own. Meehan's comedy dogs will turnish another specialty for the little folks, and In fact for all classes to whom animal intelligence and cunning appeal. Josephine Sabel, the winsome and lively little woman, will have a number of songs, while a music | bill of a different and unique nature will | constitute the offering for the Miles Stav- erford quintette to make their initial bow. They hail from England. Their instrument is the banjo, with which they make use of the wooden resonators that are a peculiar | feature of the English “joes.” They play | classical and popular numbers with a finish and attain results that are really remark- | able. The Dillon Brothers are parodists | who alm thelr efforts at the risibles. En-| tiroly new moving pictures will be projected | by the kinodrome. ! On the evening of December 23 Miss Mary | Munchhoff, known as the Omaha girl all over the continent, gives her initial con- | cert in her home town. Miss Munchhoff | today occuples a place among the front | rank of the world's singers. With her youth and the shortness of her appearance in public this fact ie doubly remarkable and she is the first American born singer | who has scored such sensational successes in Europe, and not only Omaha, but the | be proud of her. Mme. Marchesi, the re- nowned instructor of Parls, was her teacher. The quality of her voice combines soulful sweetness with that peculiar vibrating pénetrativeness of a Stradivarius violin, and it is said by, eminent critics both here and abroad that her high notes are of a golden purity and beauty of sound. In her volce the echoes of the most flourishing epoch of Itallan vocal art are reawakened. It 1s no small achievement for Miss Munch- in a country where hitherto the branch of coloratura singing was not considered the highest form of vocalism, but in this very country, Germany, where many looked upon it as a trick, Miss Munchhoff can claim the dignity of an art and many of the most influential eritics today consider her the leading exponent of that art, not excepting Melba, Sembrich and Nevada. The appearance of Arthur Hochman at the Kountze Memorial church on Friday evening, December 19, will be an event of | He is now creating a great furore | in the east. Charles F. Stephens has gone to a great expense in bringing this great | artist to Omaha. August Spannuth, one of | New York's greatest critics, says: ‘“‘Aside | from Paderewski and Joseph Hoffman, Arthur Hochman is the pianistic success of the season.” Hochman's program will consist of works from Tschaikowsky, Saint Saens, Brahms, Sauer, Chopin and Liszt. The reserved sale of seats will be on sale at Mandelburg's, Sixteenth and Farnam streets. Plays and Players. 1t 18 now reported that Louls Mann s having Clyde Fitch ‘‘doctor” *Hoch the Consul.” How bad the play must have been if Fitch can improve it any. Blanch Bates in “The Darling of the Gods” has made almost as much of a furore In New York at the Belasco theater as Mrs, Carter did in “La DuBarry." Last night Tsadore Rush resumed her role of Lady Holyrood in_the “Florodora” company now plaving at Denver, replacing Eleanor Falk, who returns to Néw York. Eugenle Hayden is playing Madge Ches- terton jn Dan Daly's production of ““The New Clown.” She began the season as principal actress with Louls Mann in “Hoch der Consul.” Mr. Willard has produced the “Cardinal” in New York with much success. This is he declined to put on in Omaha glving us ““The Professor's instead. l Musical i | In conuection with an article which ap- peared in this column last Sunday I have recelved some letters which have gratified | me very much, and one or two written hy‘ persons who either deliberately or care- lessly or innocently misread the article. The article was a reminder that hard work is absolutely essential to any stage success One correspondent asks me to compare with the stage life the life of one who is compelled to drag through existence and drudge daily as the wife of a man. Sho suggests that the “hope of success” on the stage is “something,” whercas the living | on in a state of practical slavery to one person, the mother of children, the keeper of a houschold is & hopeless and cheerless tosk. Here she is deluded, and T am truly sorry for her, whoever she may be. But will she, can she get relief on the stage? I think not. We never can form a correct estimate of anything if we take abnormalities for eri- terions. Let us then look at the normal side. The woman who loves her family finds no drudgery in her work. “Love suffereth long and {s kind.” In the lexicon of love there is mo' such word as “drudgery” for whence could the word be derived? The world call certain things “sacrifices,” but love does mot! ‘What ordinarily would be sacrifices, or dutles, become privileges when love is king. Ask the successful actor or actress why The Season’s success comes. The answer will be bard work! Then ask, why work hard? The an- swer will be “because I love my work.” It it 5o be that they answer not thus, then ask them why they do not give it up? There are many people who say: “Ah, alas, woe is me; were I In other clrcum- stances 1 could do so much better.” And then I am reminded of that line of old Horace “Et mihi res, non me rebus, subjungere conor,’ which being translated almost lt- erally means: “And I try to bend circum- stances (or conditions) to myself, not my- self to circumetances (or conditions)" and in a freer stylo the translation might read “It T can't work out success in the sphere in which I am placed, I can’t do any better proportionately in apy other.” Think it over. This, you eay, is a plea for letting well enough alone, a plea for contentment under all circumstances and conditions, a plea for being satisfied with one's lot, however un- congenial, a plea for the stifiing of honest | ambitions. No! No! Far from it. It is a plea for falthfulness iy that which is least! You remember the parable—(and all the parables reflect reality)—of the nobleman and his servants, and you remember these words: “And He sald unto him, ‘Well thou good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou author- ity over ten cities, Lilllan Whitney says in one of her books: “The one great truth to which we all need to come is, that a successful life lies not in doing this, or going there, or possessing something else; it lies in the quality of the | daily lite. ¢ ¢ o “It is achlevement on the spiritual side of things! * * ¢ This extension is achieved, this growth toward higher things is attained by our habitual attitude of mind. It develops by truth and love and goodness; it s stunted by every emvious thought, every unjust or unkind act.” And then, reviewing the whole subject of what one can do even in his own present condition, we must not forget that “wish- ing never makes the mare go,” but a will, and a whip, and a curb, and line, and bit in the mouth, will make for progress. We cannot accomplish any results when we “wish” oursclves better off, but we can when we “will" such a thing. And every act of will must be preceded by taith, As Henry Wood says: ‘“Bellet in the power within is the key which unlocks vital energy. Faith in a thing must pre- cede its accomplishment. To stimulate be- liet we must open up our own possibilities and keep them in view.” No! my timid friend, it will not make you conceited or egotistical; it will only open your eyes to what “you” may be in your own present conditions. Remember what Horace says! And while I am on the subject of the pursuit of a will-o'-the-wisp prospect, it one were only situated differently, let me say a word to those who are encouraged to disparage their present work in looking for another sphere, And that word is this: “Be faithful in your present work.” The successful men of the world are those who have suc- ceeded in the burdensome toil. They have not spent their time in worrying over lost prospects or in thinking upon what might have been had they been situated differ- ently. They are the people who have left each working sphere with the absolute knowledge that if “things took a bad turn’* they could go back to their first work and find employment because it was done well. Such persons very rarely have to go back and when they do they find the position waiting for them. Love your work! It is all an attitude of mind! And do not forget that he who is faithful in that which is least shall be made a ruler over ten citles. Anticipate the judging! Cut out all affectation! Think not of what people are saying about you! And work for the work's sake! Then you will be crowned with success. These con- ditions are simple and by the elect they have been found not only all-indusive, but also warranty of success. Atter all, as Milton says The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. The visit of Arthur Hochman on Friday of this week will be undoubtedly a treat to those who love the plano and its fleld of composition. Mr. Hochman has chal- lenged the criticisms of the eastern critics and he has satisfied the most exacting. His temperament, techique and talent are sure to be most interesting. He will make one only appearance at the Kountze Me- morial church, Miss Mary Munchhoff will sing to a crowded house on December 23, judging from present indications. THOMAS J. KELLY. , Mr. Kelly ..
