e Omaha people will look back with pleas [present ute to the week just passed for one event In the theatrical line—the coming of Miss Harned and her company In “Irls.” The Bee has long since expressed Its opinfon as 6 the advisability of presenting such plays and sees nothing In the present instance 16 warrant a change in that opinion. Tt is fifm in the belief that the theme with which “Irls” deals 1s not one for public discuseion, and that, without being prudish, people can well afford to, and do, eschew ffom general conversation. It deals with & certaln phase of soclal conditions, ex- pounds a possibllity, If not a probability, and s offered with such verlsimflitude as to almost convince one of its reality. Yet it overshoots the mark in an effort at in- struction, for the public mind fs not yet prépared to grasp the details and assimi- late the arguments involved in the debhte, and it falls short of the primary object of the theater, the entertainment of the peo- ple. But so long as we are to have the Pinero play presented at all, how fortunate we are to have it given to us by people who are in every way capable of remdering it telligently and satistactorily. Pinero's eharm Is purely intellectual, and its evanes- cent fragrance is easily lost. The least rough treatment destroys the delicate per- fume and disappointment is the result of any attempt to furnish a Pinero play with any but the best of talent. And this is Just what we recelved at the Boyd during the engagement of Miss Harned and her eompany. | Arthur Wing Pinero has won his place among the foremost of modern dramatists. He I8 thoroughly technical In his construc- tion, but so deftly does he bufld that events follow each other with a sequence that is so logical, so natural and so en- tirely free from ‘apparent strain that it appears the working of fate rather than the Intention of a writer that hurries his characters along through their several orbits to the ultimate ending. Bo rarely does he resort to the melodramatic that the instance, when noted, is worthy of comment. One of these rare times occurs in the third act of “Irfs.” It has to do with the checkbook incident. It is a harsh note, and jars on the sensitive Imagina- tion. One would much prefer that Mr. Pinero had found some other and less gross method of bringing Iris into the tolls of Maldonado. “In vain is the net of the fowler spread in sight of the bird" ought to apply here as elsewhere. It is quite easy to belleve Maldonado capable of such & brutal exhibition, but it is hard to concelve a woman, so animated by high resolve, so buoYed up by determina- tlon lately taken on in the presence of the man she really loves, 5o easily allowing herself to be ensnared by the one she has mo#t yeason to fear. Aside from this, the plece 18 of the true Pinero ring, sparkling in places with bitter sarcasm and lighted with frony and wit at the expense of so- clety. “What is a financler?” asks one of the young women. “A pawnbroker with ideas,” answers another. But Pinero is not cynical. He merely undertakes to be practical, and If he has so far been baffled In his efforts to find an avenue of escaps for his heroine it has not been because he has not searched. nor is it at all Ifkely that he will abandon the search. He knows of course of the way pointed out by Tolstol, but he doesn’t deal with women of the Maslova type. Nor has he given us & Dmitri as yet. His people are people of culture, surrounded by every refinement of civilfzation, and his soclal fabric is of the Aside from - the pleasure afforded . by Pinero’s skill as a comstructor is the -de- 1ight &fforded by the ease and grace with ‘whiolt ha usey' the English language. There. is a facility, a fluency and grace in his sentences attained by few of the moderns. No one who has becomo at all familiar with the English language s lacking in . regard for fits wonderful possibilities, a feeling that easily grows Into reverence, and when one may listen to the easy pro- nunciation of carefully constructed phrases, in which the beauties of words properly assembled are brought into high relfef, clothing sentences of pith and mean- ing, the delight is enhanced by that feel- ing of respect and affection for the tongue. Mr; Pinero understands this, and has the very happy faculty of so wording his sen- tences as to give them an effect that is distinctive, and at the same time to pre- merve tie rhythm and “béat’ that makes them melodious. He also understands how to use words so as to get that greatest of advantages from the English tongue— to be able to shade his meanipgs as dell- cately as a painter may modulate his col- ors or a musician may phrase his passages. Given & Pinero play and a competent com- pany, and the student of English may en- joy himself thoroughly and never for a moment consider the theme or its treat- ment. In the November Prof. Brander In this connection: mber . of Scribner Matthews has an article on ‘“The Literary Merit of the Modern Drama,” In which he deals some vigorous blows against the ultra-stylists, those persons who Insist that because a play I8 popular it is necessarily bad. Quoting from one of these, who says “I would rather have fallure with Tennyson than success with the writer who is now engaged In whitewashing Julia,™ Prof. Matthews poluts to the undeniable fact that Shakespeare, Mollere, Corneille, .Cervantes, all of the writers who have become famous, wrote first for the money that came with success. Shakespeare's plays were produced to please the people, and it was some hundreds of years before the world discovered that W. Shakespeare was the greatest of psychologists. Like- wise Cervantes died without knowing that the tunny story he wrote was really the weapon that was to give the death blow to & ridiculous custom. Rostand, Pinero, Jones, all of the moderns, are writing to please the people, for they want the people’s money. Even Tennyson, who fafled as & dramatist, however well his play may read, first wrote for money and was disappointed when it did not come to him, His success In another fleld of Mter- ary endeavor is an evidence of this. Itisa decidedly healthy, commonsense view that Prof. Matthews takes of thé literary phase of the modern drama and one that is certain to be indorsed by thoughttul per- sons. At all of the local playhouses busineas was good during the week. The bill at the Orpheum was one of the best ever given at that house, and was lmmenscly popu- lar with the public. One of its featur: extensively commented upon was the sing- ing of Princess Losoros, the Hindu canta- trice, whose volce was listened to with much pleasure by the musical people of the clty. Bhe came to Omaha & stranger, but Jeaves many friends who will welcome her back should she ever return. Last week reference was made to the straits in which Mme. Janauschek found herself and the impending auction of her treasures. From the Dramatic Mirror the following is taken: Mme. k was foroed through cir- cumatances bo. oiter for' maie Iast. Week 3 colieotton E‘IU.- of stage 'U'l., elry r articles, all of which heart of the venerable actress t more to her than they wandered about overhauling the dainty bits of laces, costly gowns, jewelry, cibbons, *old-fashioned caps and bonnets, and the various Articles offered for sale. The attendance Included curiosity seek investors and others, but there were very few who had even a passing thought for Ull‘.d woman whose stage treasures were s0ld. The auctioneer lamented the lack of en- thuslasm, as indeed he might, when & gown worn in Macbeth brought buf a paltry sum. It was sad 10 see wome of the articles sold for & song. The gowns, bonnets and knick- knacks were dispiayed about the store and were at the merey of any and all wished to handle them. Gowns that of her greatest triumphs, when the ap. plause of thousands greeted her ears and when homage of the masses was bestowed upon her, seemed to inpire no specal in- terest in those at the sale. A gold bracelet with a diamond and sap- hire setting of Greek design brought $10. Jihis was presented to Mme. Janauschek by King Ludwig 11 of Bavaria and was worn by Her as Medea. A decoration preasnte her by the king of Baxony sold for $0, a gold watch marked “Janauschek' brought ut $16 and an antique silyer crucifix sold for $17. A set of real coral in gold setting, which was presented Mme. Janauschek by the late dowager empress of Germany, was s0ld for $135. N. 8. Wood paid fhe highest price for any article when he purchased a Set of turquolse and pearls for §20. Thers were a number of other articles which brought nominal prices, but for the greater part the objects brought much less than they were worth. 1t Is refreshing to note that considerable Interest is being taken in the venerable actress’ condition. Last week Virginia Harned gent a check ‘for $100 to start a fund, which has already grown to over $300. Mme. Janauschek was offered a perma- nent home In either the Actors' Fund home on Staten Island or in the Edwin Forrest home in_Philadelphia, but was forced to decline them, as #he requires the constant attendance of & maid, and this the homes do not allow. Her condition remains much the same and she is still at the home of Dr. J. E. Kelly in Saratoga Springs. Coming Events, “Foxy Grandpa,” a farcleal comedy, con- structed from the humorous pictures which originated In the Sunday supplements, will be given at the Boyd this afternoon. The engagement includes tonight and Monday night. Joseph Hart, well known here in vaudeville, and before that of the firm of Hallen and Hart, and Carrie DeMar head the sixty farceurs employed in the cast. A large chorus of pretty girls are employed to add gest to the fun, which s ald to be fast and furious. The play is uilt around twenty-five sketches of Mr. Schults, the creator of ‘Foxy Grandpa.” The scenes are laid at the Vermont Bum- mer hotel,” where Goodelby Goodman, Foxy Grandpa, and his two grandsons are rest- ing for the summer. All sorts of pranks are played on the old man by the boys. “D'Arcy of the Guards,” with Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin, co-stars, will be seen at the Boyd Tuesday night. While Mr. Miller enacts the title role Miss Anglin has a very conspicuous part In the young American girl who, loyal to her cause, per- forms many hasardous deeds, but finally succumbs to the love making of the rol- licking, handsome guardsman, D'Arcy. Henry Miller, who plays the leading role, shows a witty Irish guardsman of the sort made famous by Charles and Samuel Lever. A quaint scene is the one where the British officers in a jolly sceme, quaft bumpers of American brewed punch and join in singing “Sally in Our Alley,” the quaint old ballad which was then in vogue, or just getting to be. The best act, the third, is where the heroine is stopped in her attempt to convey a warn- ing to Washington's army, and shoots the gallant D'Arcy. Among the regular events on the local ‘stage is James and Frederick Wardo, which is announced for next Wednes- day in an entirély new ‘historical dramia Touhded upon’ th eventful caréer of Alexander?'the Great; Mr. James appear- Ing I the title role, and Mr. Warde as Perdiccas, his minister of state, “The ad- ditiomal ‘slemént of novelty will, therefore, make the Oceusion more interesting than sual. ‘At the age of 20 Alexander com- manded the greatest army that had ever Dbeen brought together, and in less than thirteen years he conquered all of what was then known of the civilised world. Populous cities he swept out of existence and others he brought into belng where, before, had been nothing but a desert. As an fllustration of the latter, is the proud city he founded on the banks of the Nile, which he named Alexander and which, although twenty-three centuries have come and gone, still remaind a highway for the commerce of three great continents. Mary Shaw will be seen in Ibsen's “Ghost” at the Boyd Thursday night for, one performance. ‘“Ghosts” is sald to be the best thing In a literary way that this celebrated writer has ever done, certainly it is the effort that has caused the most wilespread comment. The action of the play takes place at Mrs. Al ving's country house near one of the large fjords In western Norway. Mrs, Alving, the central figure of the play, is the role assumed by Miss Shaw. She fs the widow of Captain Alving, late chamberlain to the king. The captain was a libertine, openly in the day of his youth, and secretly 80 in latter years, after he had attained the reputation of a man of great worth and plety chiefly through the instrumen- tality of his wife who lived a lfe for the #ake of their only son. Mrs, Alving sent her son abroad to have him away from the bad influence of his father. He becomes a painter and resides in Paris. The play opens on the day of his return to be pres- ent at the dedication of an orphanage, ralsed as a memorial to the philanthropy and plety of his father. Clay Clement, after several years' ab- sence from Omaha, will be the attraction at the Boyd Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Matinees will be given Saturday and Sunday. “The New Dominion,” the beautiful southerm drama written_by Mr. Clement, will be the offering, as it was on his last visit. He will enact the role of Baron Von Hohenstauften, the eccentric German botanist. Miss Clement will be seen In her old role of Flora May Ran- dolph, the southern girl whom the barom falls inlove with. Miss Mignon Oxer, Miss Rilla Willard, John Foy Palmer, W. Rath, Thomas Normoyle and M. A, R. Harvey are other members of the company. There are four acts in “Heart's Adrift." The first has for its locale & banker's office in the Wall street district in New York City. ~Act II is first placed In the con- demned cells of the city prison, and the second scene In one of the curious East side restaurants. For the third act there are also two scenes, the first of which shows the workshop of the inventor of an airship, and the second, the airship ftself salling through space away up In. clond- land, and to helghten the effect there is a big electrical storm in frogress. In the last act there are also two scemes, the first of which shows & cove on Long Island sound and the second one of the hand- somest residences on the sanks of the Hudson river, where wealthy New York- ers delight to spend the neated term. “Hearts Adrift” is to be the attraction st the Krug theater the first half of the week, opening this afternoon. Musical comedy In its best expression. Such 1s the promise for the Krug theater next Thursday and Friday evenings when Ward and Vokes will present their new frolic, “A Pair of Pinks" This popular duo of comedians have not been seen in Omaha in several years, but it is promised that they will now be seen in the very best oftering of thelr' career. The cast includes such weill known people as Lucy Daly, Margeret Daly Vokes, Vinle Daly, Charles Howard, Topy Willlams, Gus therg | Bruno, Ruth Gould, Lew Milier, David st ‘those | DeWoIf_and Dan Coleman. The eogege- [ment 1s ‘for two Wvering performantes only. “The Head Walters” will be seen at the Krug next Baturday matinee and night, brought up to date. The company, headed by Joe Kelly, includes Inman and Vincent, Dolly De Vyne, Franza Hayford, Elsle Harvey, Plerce and Roslyn, Nate Jackson, Eureka Comedy Four, Bert Walnwright, Lew Kelly and twenty-five chorus girls. Eight blg acts, varied and for the most part presented by artists that havs not ap- peared locally in vaudevitle, will open the week at the Orpheum with a matines to- day. Charles Dickson and his own little company will fill the headline position. He will be recalled in leading roles of “Mis- takes Wil Happen,” “Incog” and other comedy successes. His vechicle this time will be “Heart to Heart Talks.” Another Prominent card will be Paxton's Art Studies, one of the biggest acts booked here this season. This turn consists of a series of beautiful and impressive plctures, in which living models do the posing. Emily Lytton and Willlam Gerard will offer a sketch entitled “A Lucky Duck,” which is put on with a splendid scenic investiture. Mr. and Mrs. Scarl Allen will appear in a skit called “The Sign Painter.” A sensational balancing ‘“stunt” will be contributed by Alfred Arnesen. Some of his work is done on a slack wire and he does some remarkable hand balancing on a pedestal. Almont and Dumont play trumpets and all kinds df wind instru- ments. They wear the handsome uniforms of the Hussars, “A Sting Town Yap,” a lvely conversational skit, will be the of- fering of Carleton and Terre. The motion plctures projected by the kinodrome will be entirely new. Gowsslp from StageMnd, B. H. Sothern will open the New Lyceum theater in New York on tomorrow night 8ir Henry Irving produced ‘Dante” in New York last week. The reviewcrs de- vote much #pace to praise of the play and its performance. Charles B. Dillingham and Frank Perley have just completed a new arrangement by which Miss Maud Fealey is (0 become a star next season under thelr management, \Kthel Levey is to join Andrew Macas's company in a few weeks when he puts on “Lady Molly,” his newest Irish play. Thus tar Mr. Mack has been meeting with suc- cebs in’ his revival of “Arrah-Na-Pogue.' Jane Kennark and “Under iwo Ilags” did a blg week's business at the Meiropolis theater in New York and moved to Fhila- delphia. Mr. Woodward went to Philadel- Rhie during the weck to look atter some angerial detalls. “Hearts Courageous’ has proven & fallure in spite of all the enhusiasiic boosting de- voted {o it, and Oriin Johnson closed b starring career in it lasi night. He appear at Daly's as leading man in A Japanese Nightengale.” The opening of the New Amsterdam the- ater by Nat Goodwin in “A Miasummer Night's Dream” was the event of the weck in "New York. Both the theater and the production are praised for their magnifi- cence by the New York papers. Ethel Barrymore, in her new imported comedy, ‘‘Cousin Kate,” has scored an- other 'hit equal to her first fine starring venture in “Captaln Jinks.” Miss Barry- more is at present making one of the successes of her stellar career in New York City, where they have taken most kindly to the English comedy she is usiag this season. Miss Viola Allen began her first season as “an actress-manager at Springoeld, Mass., last- week, where her scenic producs ton of “Twelfth Night'" was given its nrst presentation. It was also Miss Allen's first appearance in Shakespeare for a good many jgare., The reports (rom there indicate that iss Allen has & big success on her hands. The star's performance of Viola Is highly spoken of. rhe work of John Blair as S volio an rence Handysides as Sir Tob; is _also commended. i Julla Marlowe has turned up her pretty nose at “The Pretty Sister of Jose' ronounces it unworthy of her further e orts. She will close her season in Chicago, having eancelled all her western tour, an announces that she will write for the mag azines during the time between now and the opening of Eer joint starring tour with Mr, Sothern. Miss Marlowe may be right as to the play; it probably is unworthy of her, but she is doing one dangerous thing: shg is teaching a large share of the American ublic that they can get along without er, and maybe some day they will decide to do se. Mrs. Fiske has begun her tour of the country, that will include this city, most brilliantly after her very notable engage- ment in New York. In Baltimore she opened the beautiful New Maryland theater, play- ing “Mary of Magdala,” and the 'house was thronged during her Week's engage- ment. On Monday, October 2, Mrs, Fitke began an engagement at Ottawa, Canad and on the first night she was compl nted by the presence of several dith gulshed parties that came long distances to Witness _her in the Heyse drama. Lord foyermor general ot Canada. ‘with Lady Minto and party, ar- rived in Ottawa by special trafn for the event, and special trains were run to Ot- tawa'from various points, some of them far distant. One came from Montreal, where Mrs. Fiske will not be seen this sea- fon; and anofher party attended from Tup- per's Lake, In the Adirondacks. On Mon- day, November 2, Mrs. Fiske will dedicate the 'new Majestic theater in Toronto, the finest theater in that city, where she will play for a week. MUSIC AND MUSICIANS The following letter was received last week at this offic OMAHA, Oct. 26.—Having been a constant reader of your articies in Musical cl‘.’)e;nllr:- ment of The Bee, I thought I would ask you to explain a few matters to me. 1Is it possible to be a judge of good music if you fi:;‘n,ot play or haye had no musical educa- Are the dramatic critics good authority lnllrlm:vhl! is good or bad in the musical The reasons why I ask the above ques- tions are as follows: I am the wife of a laboring man and to gratif; music have to g0 to the Boy cal comedy—now 1 read of rt my love for to some musi- the coming at- %, fine volces, ¥ *for Instance, which I do not think had very fine music or such good voices, but maybe I am like the beside me at a performance Gordon Opera company sald: company. ' Maybe ignorant of music I am no judge, I thought Louise Gun, ning with De Wolf Hopper had a beautiful voice, but I did not see her recelve much notice, while Anna Held, who I think is & poor singer, received a couple of columns. Why is it in a city llké Omaha, where {here are lots of people like myself who are ond of music but have to stay on the out- side and enjoy reading about it, some one does not get up a good entertalnment and have a reasonablé admission fee. 1 wonder it the people who have all those ivate musicales are not a little selfish ceping all the music for people who have it all the time. I think that is why musical comedy is so popular, for if you afe fond of music and are not too proud to sit away up or away back, you can get considerable enjoyment for little money, and it is not Iways the people In front who appreciatée fhe beat, Yof the most appreciative lstener w was a white-haired old lady with d-fashioned nubla, who was at & per- formance of “Il Trovatore”—she was a re- fiection of 'all the emotions enacted on the n of pleasure at & beautl- ful high note sustained by the leadin singer. Another case of genulne enjoymen was that of a boy about 17, whom 1 saw at the “Tenderfoot, ' He had never been to & hea fore, living away out west, ey fand of fausic and. -would 1 am so glid 1 't they sing an ol ! ow starved and i Treat In store for him as he grows older. 1 am sorry to have troubled You, but this letier grew out of my review o & lot of eriticisms on past events, one oritio sayl " and another sayin e greatly in doubt. The wife of a laboring man! Bless her heart, and I wonder how many of the people Who ocecupy boxes, or sit in the choice seats of our local theaters could write as intelligently upon the musical situation! What & stinging rebuke to some of our vapid, silly, uneducated American musioal critics, who contend that the “masses” must be given nothing but driv- elling songs about “carvin' chicken,” hot tamales, ete., sgt a la ragtime, as the first step of their musical education. I wish to goodness there were more sensible women like the one whose letter I have quoted writing for the papers. and less of these strutting musical erities, so-called, who talk and prate about “the masses” and commot music. Huth, rot! Here is a thing | to make one think. A letter from a woman who saye she is one of the masses, the “wife of a laboring man” All honor to het, and to her husband, for they reprove many of those who #t In high places in Omaha and pretend very highly educated indeed, and yet thelr musical capacity Is as limited as the usefulness of Niagara falls to the Sahara desert. , In reply to some of the questions let me say, first, it is absolutely impossible to be a judge of good music if you have had no musical education. But in reply to this reply you may say, “Do all good critics, then, sing or play, or act?” I will answer that question by an fllus- tration. I know nothing about electricity, trolley cars or strect rallway systems, but 1 do know, and know most positively that the Dodge street car line is disgraceful, Is an insult to the very large traffic it ought to cater to, and would not be tol- erated In any city but Omaha by the hun- dreds of people who are compelled to ride on it every day. Now, do you see the point? What makes me able to form that opinion? Because I am compelled to ride on the Dodge street card, and I have rid- den upon the cars which traverse Far- nam street, the Harney street cars, the Walnut Hill cars and the Hanscom Park and North Twenty-fourth street cars. You see, by constant comparison and constant appreciation of the differences between each I have become educated as to what constitutes good street car serv- fee. Now, if 1 just got on the car and read the paper and did not notice anything elther right or wrong about the service I ‘would' not be capable of criticising. Critics, that 1s, good critics, in the same way, becorde éducated very thoroughly in time and are sure of the points of excel- lence or the reverse, But they must keep both eyes wide open. Another question which is asked is this: “Are the dramatic critics good authority on what is good or bad in the musical line?" I have referred that question to one in whose judgment ‘I have implicit confidence, in aftairs dramatic (as well as other things), an opinion which is shared by the dramatic press of this country, the man who writes under the head of “About Plays, Players and Playhouses” in The Sunday Bee. And he says, what do you suppose? “Well, tell the lady that you know of one dramatic critic who knows nothing about music and is da— just awfully glad he doesn't.” Now, I don't know what he means by that. You can translate it for yourself. Further replying to the letter in ques- tion, I regret that I cannot give an opinion on the merits of “The Chinese Honey- moon,”” Loulse Gunning or Anna Held. I gave up the farce-comedy habit some time ago. There was a time when we musical critics wrote up comic operas, but there are no comic operas nowadays, not since the “Serenade” or the “Fortune Teller'* or “Princess Chic.” Then the dramatic crit- les took a whirl at writing up the musical productions; beeause there was so much more stage business, dialogue, scenery, and those things which come under the juris- dlction of the dramatic pen. Nowadays the dramatic critics are bored to death with the shows, as a rule, which call them- selves comic operas, operettas, musical comedies, etc. And In a few seasons you will find a blank report in the newspaper offices to be filed in by the office boy, for each suc- ceeding account of each succeeding musical spasm, labelled by whatsoever name ft may be. And now e very. serlous question pre- sents itself. “Why Is it that some one does not give a good entertainment and have a reasonable admission fee?” There 13 one answer, The musiclans are tired of paying meney out of thelr own pockets to develop musical conditions, when they put In the work as well, and especially when they do not have to do it, for the sake of pecuniary results.
