THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1903, COMEDY CLUB IN THE GRITIC Buooessfnl Amateur Performance at the Oreighton University Aunditorium. BOCIETY APPLAUDS EXCELLENT ACTING Parefully Prepared and Well wented Scenel Pre- Win Much Kindly Commendation from the Large Aundience, 1t the chlef function of comedy is to ereaté laughter, the presentation of ““The Critie” by the Omaha Comedy club at Creighton university hall last night achieved the full purpose for which it was intended. The youthful actors entered fin- telligently into the spirit with which Richard Brinsley Sheridan sought to make ridiculous the bewigged and silken-breeched ultra-refined critics and gentlemen-dramat- fsts of his day. They succeeded In paint- ing on the humor without daubing it and by subdued and legitimate methods kept a breoze of smiles and chuckles and loud guffaws abroad in the large audlence all the time. “And the merriment was not at the expense of the actors, but was ac- credited properly to the'roles they played and the funny things the play-people did and the awkward gestures they made. The announcement that it was to be the chlet soefety event of the kind of the s6pson wis no false prophecy. Soclety filled thh auditorfum to the last seat, to thé total exglusion of almost everything else. It was kindly in its applause and generous of the, appreciation bestowed upon the first real “production” of the Comedy club. The organization has not been very long in exigtence and its members hre debutantes, or ‘what answers to debutantes among the members of the sex that wear mustaches— or wil: some day. Wise in Cholce of Play. ‘Wisdom and good sense was shown by the club in the selection of Sheridan’s ‘“The Critic” as an initial play. It is pure comedy straight through, favored with qulet but stinging satire directed to certain efforts made to elevate or disintegrate the stage, according to the point of vie “The Critie” is almost good enough and certainly is old enough to be a classic, and is a play within & play, showing a re- hearsal of a “heavy” drama by “Puff,’ a well-meaning but short-sighted gentleman- author, and witnessed by “Dangle,” a pa tron of that sort of thing, and a gimlet- eyed critlc, “Sneer.” Inasmuch as the actors have, by permission of the author, cut out such parts of the play as they like, the result is a-ludicrous combination of nonsense, bombarded by the atill more funny comments of Dangle and Sueer, they sit in a box, and the efforts of Puft 0. make the rehearsal a “go.” Mr. Harry Doorly, as Puff, had the lead- ing male role, enacting it with far more than ordinary skill. The part was hard to do just right, as it had to combine the essence of gentility and politeness that never forgets itselt with the annoyance of the author who sees the child of his brain carved to pieces by dull actors and stupld friends. Mr. Rex Moorchouse, as Sneer, the critic, disdainful and burning for the attenuated unattainable, was cleverly dextrous with inflection and man- nerisms. ‘In the part of Dangle, Mr, Bob Burns clearly showed that the former gen- tleman felt perfectly able to welgh and consider the drama, without In the least knowing ‘what it was all about. " Mins Hiteheock's Dual Rol Miss Margaret Hitchcock, by the retire- ) _Holdredge on_account of sickness of a relative, played the part of Mrs. Dangle, well as that “of Confidant, for which she was cast. 18 the former her denunciation of her hus- band for his interest in plavs, players and cFltics, was neatly done, Whether she 100ked the prettier in high, powdered colffure and stately gown as Mrs. Dangle orlin the simpler guise of Confidant wi & juestion, but she exacted all there w: fox{ praise from both the roles making ‘MQ" as automatic a Confidant as even the inspired Puff in his most inspired moments would have been. Miss Gretchen Crounse in the herofe role of Tilburnia did skiliful travestys that to Puff seem>d the most exalted things of their kind out of Olympus, but which the wudience thought delightfully funny. She wore beautiful gowns and was charm- As with all the other actors, what she did was careflly removed from the realm of the overdone. In fact, the free- dom from rant and consclous effort and slap-stick methods was one of the most satisfactory features. ‘What the Others Did. Miss Besslo Towle was a petite mald and Miss Anua Bourke and Miss Mary Holdredge were dramatic as tho two nieces who would murder poer Whiskerandos. The iatter was portrayed by Mr. Lawrence Brinker and was almost too funny to be alive. His death was a horrible example of what awtul things might happen on the stage It imagination s given froe play and allowed to forget the study of human na- ture.. Mr. Willard Barrows as Lord Bur- loigh and as Beefeater was herolcally limp and shaughtered Whiskerandoes with due respect to the absence of the location of vitdl organs under the armpits. Mr. George MclIntyre as Governor Tilbury Fort was a man of pensive gloom and grand pathos. Mr. Vernon Chase as Sir Walter Ralelgh and Mr. Tom McShane as Sir Christopher Hatton kept the desire to laugh at high ebb while they were upon the stage, while Mr. Conrad Young as Master of Horse and Mr. Paul Haskell as Prompter did all that was possible with briet lines and sudden and short appear- ancez. Tho play was glven under the direction of Miss Arabel M. Kimball, who has evi- Omaha People PRAISE PARACANPH. Evidence from home is better than & thousand miles away.

The stage management was excellent, and aet {1 was true to its time, 1799, and dainty as to appointment. It showed the breakfast room of Mr. Dangle. Minute attention had been given the matter of costuming and as a result the apparel was rich and taste- ful and exact The costumes were by Theodore Loeben and the music was fur- nished by Letovsky's orchestra.

Miss Helena first sang the grand national song five years ago, just before the declara- tion of war with Spain. It was at a con- cert in New York City, and she so aroused the patriotism of the audience that they cheered her again and again. Then she sang it the night before the Seventy-first regiment left New York for the front, 1,200 strong. In August of the same year Miss Helena was at Montauk Point, and she saw the same regiment, wasted and thinned by fighting, hardship and diseake, march by from the transport. to the deten- tion camp. That night she sang “The Star Spangled Banner' agaln, but tears were in her eyes, and hundreds of officers Who, foundly moved by the wondrous music Mrs. John A. Logan put her arms about the beautiful young singer and kissed her while she thanked her in a tear-choked voice. In the spring of 1900 Helena'was in San Antonlo, Tex., and was asked to sing at a reunfon of confederate veterans. She sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” and by her side on the opera house stage stood a white-haired man who had been a member of Jefferson Davis' cabinet during the re- bellion. The former boys in gray stood while the song was sung and when it was finished volced their delight with an old- time rebel yell. Then came u request from Oklahoma City, in July of the same year, for Helena to sing the song at the second annual reunion ot Roosevelt'’s Rough Riders. She went from San Antonio to the reunion and there ang “The Star Spangler Banner” to an audience of 20,00 people. Theodore Roose- velt stood beside her as she sang and his lips moved with the words.' A sergeant waved the torn battle flag of the Rough Riders over the heads of the singer and Colonel Roosevelt and the people’ chegred again and sgain. After the song Cofonel Roosevelt sald to Miss Helena “I have heard that song all my life; it is as familiar to me as the Lord's Prayer, but I wish to say to you that nevef before have T really heard it sung. A golden key to the, City of Qklahoma was presented to Helena and-when she took the train for Texas she wad escorfed to the depot by 1,000 Rough Riders and cowboys, who, as the cars moved off, gave her a par ing salute of honor with their six-shoote The next important occasion upon which Helena sang “The Star Spangled Banner' was at the opening of the republican na- tional campaign in Louisiana in October, 1900. For the first tie since before the war of the rebellion. “The Star Spangled Banner” was heard in public in New Or- leans. She sang it for 5,000 people In the old Washington artillery armory there, and the scene was one never to be forgotten. Men stood with the tears streaming down their cheeks and at the end went wild with excltement and enthusiasm. One old white- haired man, who had worn the stars of a general in the confederate cause, escorted Helena to her carriage and as he bade her goodnight bent over her hand and with trembling voice said: “Madame, I wish to thank you for what you have done this night. You have sung that song back into my heart once more." And so before she went on the vaudeville stage Bdith Helena got to be known as “The Star Spangled Banner” girl, and very proud is she of the title, for she loves the song above all others, and she sings it with all her soul in her voice. OMAHA VIEWERS EXPAND SOME Declde to Extend the Jurisdiction of Their Club to Comprise the “Vielnity." Atter two hours' debate the Omaha View Improvement club adopted & new constitu- tion 'and bylaws Friday night. The im- portant changes in the constitution are the | transfering of the authority of flling va- | cancles which may occur in the officlal st | of the club from the club vote to the pre- | siding officer: also the increasing of the | honorary membership fee and the extension of the club's jurisdiction Heretoore the club has represented only Omaha View district. The new constitu- tion was amended to read “Omaha View and vicinity.” Much objection was made to the change. As the jurisdiction now stands the club has taken upon itself to improve the entire Sixth ward. This will meet with Improvement club, the south boundary of which is in close proximity to that of the | northern lmits of the former boundary of the Omaha View club, while the Praipect | HUl club's interests will not conflict with | those of the Omaha View club's future ef- forts. It was the prevailing opinion that the club will soon lose its prestige, aims and {dentity and be engulfed in | vancing strides of the two other organiza- ! tions and be compelled to disband. | The president will make his appointments | to committee positions at the next meet- ing. Owing to the resignation of Treasurer O'Donnell, President Callahan appointed A. J. Storey to complete the unexpired term. It was reported that the Omaha View school building would be provided with the proper fire escapes at once. The club will make an effort to secure jog in the highway, a deed given to th city, which will permit the proposed exten- sion of the street car line along that thoroughtare. Inasmuch as the Omaha View district is the private sewer owned by the school board and extending from the-Omaha View schoolbouse, it ested that steps be taken to secure the necessary improvement it possible. It was suggested, as an al- ternative, that connection be made with the new sewer which is to be laid lute the North Osmba district. ~— bare-headed, stood at attention, were pro- | objection on the part of the North Omaha | the ad- from Mr. Reed, the owner of the strip of land on Thirty-third street which caused a now without a sewer, with the exception of AFFAIRS - AT SOUTR OMAHA Public 8chool Teachers and Janitors Will Be Paid in Oash. FINANCES OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Iscal Year Will Close with Large Decrease in the Floating Indebt- edn of Board—Magic City Gow Secretary Lott of the Board of Educa- tion has announced that there s money on hand to pay the teachers and janitors in cash for the month of February. In this case there will be no necessity for Issuing warrants, Thus the interest will be saved to the taxpayers. While the district had something over $3,000 on hand, Treasurer Howe secured from the state apportion- ment enough to make the payments in cash on March 1. 1t is understood that the school district overlap ‘will be less this year than it was twelve months ago. This year on April 1 the present board expects to have not over $30,000 overlap, as compared with $56,000 a year ago. Now 116 teachers are employed and at the same time last year only 102 were engaged in teachine. In addition to cutting down the over- lap some of the members of the board as- sert that sixteen new rooms have been bullt and that provision has been made for the large increase in the enrollment. In May the school district will have the money paid In by saloon keepers for the annual license unless Laverty secures a restraining order from the courts prevent- ing the board from using this money for the purpose of educating’ children. Ac- countants who have gore over the books of the board say that the records are In excellent shape. Christian Association Notes. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock Rev. C. W. Brinstad of Omaha wili speak at the Young Men's Christian assoclation on the subject, “Wantdd, Young Men.” Miss Louise Berg- quist will sing. Arrangements have been completed by the Young Men's Christian assoclation whereby Dr. Lyman B. Sperry of Oberlin, 0., author, lecturer and physician, will de- | liver three lectures in South Omaha, March 4, 5 and 6. ' Dr. Sperry has the reputation of being one of the strongest platform speakers of the country and is the author of “Confidential Talks with Young Men,” and other books of the same mature. The course will consist of a lecture to men only, and one to women only, to which there will be no admission fee. An illustrated popu- lar lecture will be glven to which a small admission fee will be charged. The Washington reception to be given by the Women's auxiliary has been postponed from Monday evening to Tuesday evening on account of the inability to provide cos- tumes for Monday evening. A large number of characters are to be represented—anyone who will 1s invited to come.in colon(al cos- tume. Several members of the assoclation and three delegates from the boys' department will go to Beatrice next Friday to the state convention of the Young Men's Christiap association. The list of speakers includes some of the best convention men in the country. The Get One club is proving a popular thing among the members. Most all the memmbers are hustling for their man. The bringing in of one member is necessary to membership in the club and admission to the club Banquet. Arrangements are being made for 'the banquet and prog Hoapital Affairs. 1t s stated by some of the members of the South Omaha Hospital association that an effort is soon to be made to procure a permanent building. While no one doubts that an effort to this end is being made it is a fact that three student nurses at the hospital are wanted. At the present time thirteen patients are in the hospital and there 1s a shortage of student purses. All those who desire poaitions of this kind are requested to call at the hospital at Twen- ty-fourth and C streets. As for a perma- nent hospital building, that will doubtless be a question which will come up later when the packers and the big corporations make a statement to the amount to be subscribed cach year for the maintenance of the institution. All members of the South Omaha Medical ! assoclation admit that the hospital Is doin | Bood work and, recommend that others as sist a little just* now when the hospital is in need. Laverty's Restraining Order. The restraining order secured by Jay J. Laverty o prevent the other members of the Board of Bducation of South Omaha from commencing impeachment proceedings against him will pogsibly be heard by Judge Baxter today. Some sald on the streets last night that on account of the additional information secured against Lav- erty there would most likely be & postpone- ment of the 'case for another week. At any rate the hearing is not expected to come off today, because Laverty and his agent do Dot seem to be ready to go to trial. r. E. 0.

Thursday evening Mrs. Farrell put the baby to sleep and when, two hours later, the mother attempted to awaken the child she found that it was dead. As the child had been healthy from the date of its birth no reason for its death can be given, as an autopsy was not had. Bock Still Re Henry J.

Suceessor to The Central Labor unlon attempted to put rocks in the road of Judge Smith Me- Pherson, said to be an aspirant to the posi- tion of judge of the United States court ot appeals. The resolutions were offered by one of the delegates from a unfon Interested in the Union Pacific strike. Part of the resolution follows Whereas, Mr. McPherson, during his short career Judge, has shown himself to be a bitter enemy of labor and the righ of the masses and a firm friend of ev contention made before him by the great corporations, however unjust. Whereas, Labor has no cand place of that groat apd just Judse . C.

The same report me from the express companies. Some Unlon Matters. The fight in the Team Drivers' unlon between the team owners and wage work- ers had an echo in the meeting, when Frank Weatherbee was seated as a dele- gate in place of Bert Murray, who holds membership in both the owners’ and driv- ers' unions. Murray protested, but was dropped on the recommendation of the union. A communication from the Musiclans’ unlon regarding the employment of an ex- pelled member at the Star theater was re- cefved and a committce from the union made explanations.
