Last week in local amusement circles wis notable for nothing. Managers of theaters this far west have become accustomed to gotting & few attractions early in the se son and keeping thelr housts open with whatever 1s available, until the steady flow of "good stuft’”" is established. In the mean time, the season for the smaller towns geta under way In good time, and the book- ing agencies feel that they have done the| right thing for everybody. Just at present only 4 few of the really big things have begun activities for the winter. Nearly all [ of the great stars are still to open thelr seasons. o the dim iight that now illu- mines the theatrical world is but the har- binger of the dawn, and the glory of the promised brilllance is still to come. The only production of last week that is worthy of note js the revival of “As You| Like 1t," by Miss Crosman and company at the Manhattan theater, New York. Both Mr. Winter of the Tribune and Mr. Corbin of the Thnes give Miss Crosman much pratse for her impersonation of Rosalind. “Miss Croyman, Indeed, does not conquer by the afflunt, superb potentlality of genius, says Mr. Winter, “but Miss Crosman brin to Rozalind a winning personality, a joy- ous temperament, abundant buoyancy of aximal spirits, graceful vivacity of action, special talent for mischievous banter, the lovely ardor of a kind, arnest, sweet woman, and, as to methods of expression, an Intelligent If somewhat extravagant style.” Miss Crosman is one of the real stars of the Ameri n stage In whose sue- cess Omaha feels a degree of Interest that borders on the persenal. She s a Nebras- kan by birth; and many of her girihood years it in Omaha,, where her tather, Major Crosman, was stationed with his regiment. Her flight has not been me- teoric, but she has won her distinction by bard work, and easily merits all the sudt cess that can comesto her. Mrs. Langtry also opened her season last Monday night In New York, presenting “Mrs. Deering's Divorce,” at the SBavoy. For those who have contended that the Jersey Lily had passed her zenith the fol- lowing comment by Mr. Winter of the Trib- une may contain some Information: Mra. Langtry made her re-entrance last night at the Savoy theater, presenting & frankly farcical comedy calléd “Mrs. Deer- | ing's Divorce,” and giving a brisk, impetu- oul dcmuru, charming performance of its chief part. The play is of \ight calibre, but it Ia neatly constructed and smoothly Wwrit | ten, and it possesses the attractive merit of comical situation. Mrs. Langtry's charm &4 an actress—long since consplcuously manifested and often recognized—is a blending of sweetness of temperament with elegance of manner, and this charm per- vades her present performance. The pub- lie gain from her acting, in this instance, is amusement. The actress cleverly repre- #sents a volatile, capriclous, merry, careicss, light-hearted woman, of the tashionable orx| der, who becomes involved In circumstances of comic perplexity, whose conduct arouss & transient Interest, whose experience | causes laughter, and 'whose personality—at | first seemingly superficial and trivial—grad- | jally wins upon sympathelic appreciation, | through the development of good fellowship and good feelin Coming Events. “One night” and popular prices will be the rule at the Boyd theater during the coming weck, and a wide varlety of enter- tainment will be offered. First on the list comes the West Minstrels, under the man- agement of Sanford B. Ricaby. This com- pany will present a departure from the ereotyped methods of minstrelsy, and &lve a W that 1s pronounced ‘“better than ever by those who have seen it. As usual Mr. Ricaby has some fifty members in the company, and although a few of the tavorites of the organization are to be again-seen In the front, the acquisition of some new and clever talent, in conjune- tion with a lot of new and novel features, entitles the company to claim the verlict as above, “better than ever.” 'The engage- mont is for 4 matinee and evening per- formance Sunday only. On Monday night comes for one per- formance ‘“The Land O' Cotton,” Junker & Corcoran’s play of southern life, with scenery and novel effects, well défined story, unique characters and carefully selected company. The cast is large. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee ‘the attraction will be “Reuben In New York,"” a musical farce comedy abounding In clever comedians, pretty girls, gorgeous costumes, startling #cenic effects, catchy music and exquisite stage pictures, an amalgamation of beauty, wit and melody. Chauncey Olcott comes on Thursday even- ing for one performance, presenting for the first time in this city a dramatization made expréssly for him of Mrs. B. M. Croker's widely read novel, entitled “Ter- ence;” by Mrs. Edmund Nash Morgan. The play is In four acts; time, present, ‘The scenes are located at Bally-bay, Shule and Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Olcott has writ- ten and composed, four new songs for his new play. l ! l Lawrence Russell's oddly titled rural comedy, “The Punkin Husker,” will be the attraction at the Krug for the first half of the weck, beginning with the matinee today. This Is the first season of “The Punkin' Husker,” and It i reported as a Success in the eastern citles where it has | been seen. Among the members of the | cast are numbered some of the best known theatrical performers of America. Horace Newman, the understudy and later the successor to Sol Smith Kussell, plays the title rale, Jim Daplels; Emma Marle Davis, formerly with William Gillette and other Frohman attractions, is the Alice Thacher; L. 8. De Kalb, another Frohman actor, i the Howard Willlams, Annie Inman, last season with “Arizona,” is Sarah Thatcher; George Morrison, Marle Preston and other Tepresentatives performers go to make up | Ithe o Matinees of “The Punkin | Husker” will be given Bunday and Wed- nesday. | For the last half of the week, beginning | Thursday night, with a matinee Saturday, | the Krug offers Nettle DeCoursey and her | company In the ral play, An Arphan's | Prayer! Miss DeCoursey, seen here In the Hoyt farce comedles, is sald to be meeting with great success mi her latest venture, the play affording her opportunities for strong dramatic effort a8 well as the merry singing and dancing that she followed in the Hoyt plays. “An Orphan's Prayer" permits elaboration in of all pleasant anticipations shadow of have foun: confinement of all loom which cannot be [ especlally true of foreign acts, for Pres | wards of $100,000 BECOMIN A MOTHER of the suffering and danger in store for her, scenic display and the company is sald to arry & number of massive and beautiful stage settings. The supporting company, i press notices are accurate, is a well balanced one, and the play is devold of sensational riot and clap trap effect This afternoon and evening a feature ex- traordinary and a deliclous musical treat is In store for the patrons of Krug park in the form of a fesuval,” all the leading members of Huster's Concert band “solo offering one or more solos on thelr re- spective tnstruments. Thid novel program has been in constant and long rehearsal in anticipation of presenting something new and with that quality to enhance Omaha's standing as a musical circle, With the afternoon and evening appear- ances of Amerjca's greatest cornet vir- tuoso, Mr. A. H. Knoll, his engagement will come to a close for this season. At 8 o'clock sharp today marks the last at- tempt of J. Waldorf Hall to present his death-defying stunt of belng shot from a cannon from his monster balloon. Prof. Hall will for the first time use a newly constructed apparatus with anticipations of outdoing all former efforts. The park was never more beautiful than at present and In expectation of another immense throng the street car company has promised its best service. Just one week from today, on Sunday, September 2, the Orpheum will begin its sixth season as "Omaha’s society vaude- ville theater.” The cozy play house is still in the hands of a force of decorators and mechanics. By Saturday they will have completed the work which has kept them erigaged for the past four weeks, and while the prevalling scheme of coloring, cream and green, has not been Interfered with, the deepening of tints In the process of retouching has added brightness and will effect a fresh appearance. For the opening the management promises a bill of strong merit and diversified so as to appeal to varled tastes. The bookings for the season will include very many features that have been seen here. This will be never dent Myerfield of the Orpheum Circult com- pany spent six months In Europe and personally devoted much time in search of noveltles. A valuable addition to the circult this season will be the new Orpheum theater at Denver, swhich is costing up- to construct. Among other cities In which an Orpheum house may be an amusement fixture in the near future are St. Joseph and Memphis. These additions to the circult are of much benefit in the matter of booking, for the performers can be glven more time and thus many that are in greut demand are induced to come west. Tomorrew morning at § a. m. the box office will be opened for the sale of seats which can always be reserved n week In advance and patrons desiring to secure certain seats for a particular night each week can have them held as formerly. As on former seasons preformances will be given.every evening, with matinees on Thursdays, Saturdays an Sundays. The rebooking at the Boyd for the week of September 2, with matinees on Wednes- day and Saturday, of Klaw & Erlanger's production of “Ben Hur" 18 in a measure a tribute to Omaha. The success “Ben Hur" enjoyed here last sea- son_ was far beyond anything the management had hoped for. The box office réturns equaled the Londen, New York, Chicago and Boston receipts. Thousands were unable to. gain admission to the theater and the greater portion of the dis- appointed sent letters to Mr. Burgess re- questing the rebooking of “Ben Hur” at an early date. This he was successful in doing when he placed his welght of evi- dence on Klaw & Erlanger's desk in their New York office. The book was published sn 1880, but it did not attract much attention for two years. Indeed, the coples sold during the first two years of its existence did not number 2,600 in all. But each reader be- came a warm friend and it was not long befora the publishers had all they could do to keep up with the demand, so that it fs now estimated that more than 6,000,000 people have read “Ben Hur." It has been transiated into all the modern languages and s as famillar abroad as it is in this country. General Wallace considered there weré insurmountable difficulties in the way of any dramatic presentation. It was not until Klaw & Erlanger sub- mitted the outline of thelr project that the general was Interested. He examined and studied it with exceeding care and finally gave his enthusiastic consent. The personality of the Savior is nowhere rep- presented in the acting version of “Ben Hur.” References to Him are made, but with the greatest reverence and the most absolute respect. In the scene of the heal- ing of the lepers on Mount Olivet, He is not visible, but His presence s indicated by light of singular beauty, Gosstp from Stageland. Anna Held is busy rehearsing “Mile.

Omaha was the scene of a convention of advance agents. About ten companies were represented here on Friday, and Eddle Cooke of the “Ben Hur' aggregation put ‘em all at work sending out advance matter to surrounding towns Frank Lindon, well remembered in Omaha as & member of the old Woodward Stock company, has just produced a play of his own at Pottaville, Pa.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hearing the singing of Miss Loulse Ormsby, a Central Cityan, who has been abroad for a number of years studying vocal work and works. 1 use the word pleasure ad- visedly, for despite a few things, Miss Ormsby is a delightful singer. Her voice is a dramatic soprano with a ring and a swing to It that is captivating. Her choice of work has been a wise one. She has found her mission, and the results will follow.

She shows genuine talent, the ‘feu sacre perhaps, and certainly a stralghtforward, honest artistic effort to do her work right. She appeals to one at once. Miss Ormsby does so much that is good that it seems a pity that she has suc- cumbed (to a degree only, thank heaven) to that bad habit, “chest falling and audi- ble breathing.” B8he has none of the old- fashioned shoulder-raising, “hydraulie” breathing which is, alas, too prevalent, and will continue to be while cowardly critics are too craven to call attention to 1t because the singer is the well known 8o and So.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM A very important meeting in the nature of & school of instruction for supervising deputies of the Royal Nelghbors of Amer- fca was held in this city Thursday and Friday, September 8 and 4, presided over by Supreme Oracle Mrs. E.

Every member of Maple camp No. 945, Modern Woodmen of America, is urged to be present at the meeting next Thursday evening.
