Omaha patrons of the theater had varied mssortment to make selection from last week, five attractions being presented at the Boyd, three at the Krug, and the regular excellent vaudeville at the Crelgh- ton-Orpheum. None of the offerings was of the first magnitude unless the Mary Bhaw engagement be considered as such. The Ibsen play hardly proved popula: he same is true of the Miller-Anglin and ‘Watde-James engagements. No one ques- tion# the ability of either of these, for each has too well proven a right to be Nsted among the stars, but nelther “I’Arcy of the “Alexander the MGreat’ mnor ¥ is worthy the pains bestowed upon them. If any permanent recollection attaches to the engagement it will be be- cause the actors are recalled and not the | plays. Joseph Hart and Carrle DeMar were heartily welcomed early in the week with their little bunch of fun, ‘Foxy @randpa,” and Clay Clement closed the busy week with his customary tasteful offering of ““The New Dominion.” At the Krug the customary thriller had the first half of the .week, and gave way to two nights of oapdcity-testing welcome to Ward and thelr ronsense, served under the “A Pair of Pinks.” On Saturday night the “Ward and Vokes discard, “The Heall Walters,” delighted another large crowd with Joseph Kelly at tho head of the campany. The bill at the Orpheum was worthy of the patronage it received. This house has well lived up to its promise to @#ivé only the best in the way of vaude- ville attractions. Omahans who have vis- ited the eastern houses of the class give cheerful testimony to the statement that the Orphéum is the peer of any. of The OMAHA, Nov. 3.—To the Edit Beo ) ee there In Haturday’s lssue of The o Ry play “Irig" which @ifterent from what seems to me to te, natural interprotation of the subject ed by the dramatist 1 ask for present the story as It appealed 1 page and the po o Bee, the "At_the Play Houses” is siways ght. 1 ifke a g0od play, one that it 18, even though It shows for man or n stations in society.

Granting that Mr. Clark is not merely conventional In signing himeelf, and that he has sincerely approached the problem “Iris” presénts, The Bee will undertake to briefly consider the character from the only standpoint charity will permit. Pity oftentimes outruns charity, as in the case of Goldsmith's village pastor; but this is a case In which pity has no part in the final decision.' To begin with, Mr. Clark complains that Irls was a vietim of con- ventionality. Admitted. What s the con- vention of which he complains on her beHalf? It is simply that a woman can not do certain.things and retain her posi- tion in soclety. Who made this conven- tion? Soclety. It is‘not a written law, but it is as inexorable as any statute that ever was given life by being published. In coneidefing the condition of Mrs. Bel- lamy, the actfons of Mr. Maldonado and Mr. Trenwith can only be pleaded in ex- tenuation and not as exculpating the woman. Mrs. Bellamy knew that she could not have all the things she wanted. In the very opening lines of the play she owns to her solicitor and trustee that she 15 trying to choose between her luxurious stonce and marriage with a man that will bring her only poverty. At the close of the first act she has made the gambler's choice. and ‘has undertaken to defy fate for as long a time as possible, knowing she has sacrificed her good name for her personal comfort. Once again is she given an opportunity to choose, for she has a second chance to escape the inevitable out- come of her course if persisted in, and agafr does she shun the difficulties that beset the honest path In life. When she accepts the check book, or rather when sho writes the first check, it may have been an impulsive but honest action; but when she put that check book into her handbag she knew what she was doing, and was again gambling with fate. No matter what her after struggles were, she had signed away her right to Lawrence Trenwith's love, for she had deliberately accepted Maldonado's favor. Trenwith might have later accepted her explanation and have taken her to be his wife, but conventional soclety has an awfully ugly name to call such a man, one even worse than it applies to ths woman. aye hposs And Iris knew all these things, and went into it with her eyes open. She was not an unsophisticated girl, just entering on the world; she was the “dlvinity” of a cir- cle in which much stress is laid upon the observance of the very rules for personal conduct which she chose not to observe. She cannot even plead the time-worn ex- cusé of fgnorance. She-did not face the condition that o many other women have faced, the condition that turned a Katusha into a Maslova. Her fortune had been swept away, but she was left with a rem- nant, however pitiful it seemed to her, was sufficlent to have provided her with at least the necessaries of life. Beven hundred and fitty dollars & year isn't a princely income, but many an English and many an Ame: fcan family has been kept In comfort on no more, and on this Mrs. Bellamy was asked to live not longer than three years. But she- was unable to do so, even witl th great reward of her lover's return to look forward to. Fully realizing the end toward which she was moving, she took her course, and while she certainly deserved pity, sl eould not expect condonation from society, from her lover, or from the man to whom she had proved doubly faithless. A terrible price she paid for her self-indulgence, but it 1s the Teast tHat hds éver been éxacted from any. ‘Why should this price be exacted from the sinner? Because the existence of so- clety depends on the enforcement of cer- tain. rules, laws made, to govern certain conditions. None of these promise any re- ward for their observance, but all provide penalties for their infraction. It is abso- Tutely necessary that these laws be en- forced, strictly, and with exactness. Once & very able Nebraska jurist remarked that it was not the severity of the penalty that made the law respected, but the certainty of its infllotion, Penalties attaching to written laws may be evaded, but once con- victed (and mere suspicion in cases such as that of Iris is tantamount to conviction) of an infraction of an unwritten law, and the penalty at once becomes operative. This may be conventional, may be cowardly, may be weak, but it is the crystallization of the experierice of all soclety since thé dawn of eclvilization. '\ even savage tribes cxact the same penalty. And the weakness that leads soclety to condemn the wrongdoer 18 as nothing to the weak- ness that leads the individual to do wrong ! because it appears easier than doing right. Among all virile, strong peoples, among every nation that has set an indelible stamp on history, a barrier has been erected be- tween the good woman and the bad woman, ‘This does not mean to say that the division has always been exact, but it does fit the odse of Iris, and Iris knew of that barrier, knew when she crossed it, and knew that, once across it, she could never return. Trenwith was probably as guilty as she at the outset, but it was not weakness that led him to turn his back on her in the end. She had ceased to be his idolized mistress and Nad become = mefe wanton, and his love died in the revulsion that followed her disclosure. This, too, may be conventional, but it i & convention as ojd as humanity. 1t may be based on a sentiment, but it is & sentiment common to all mankind, and it UNION PAI"‘H‘ ‘;, EVERY DAY from Sept. 15th to Nov. 30th, inclusive, the UNION PACIFIC will soll one-way tickets from Missour!

No fault is found with Mr. Pinero for his optimistic pursuit of a way by which his | heroine may eventually escape the natural result of her folly and regain a place in so- clety. He mAy portray a condition of actual existence; but, thanks to convention, it is not a condition so gengral as to de. mand the treatment that followed the ex- posure of what Mr. Clark conceives to have been the actual conditions prevaling in the south, of'which “Uncle Tom's Cabn” pur- POrts to be & true pleture. A healchy public sentiment has always prevalled in regard 1o the social oonuldons suggested by the Pinero play, and that sentiment is based on the strict observance of the seventh com- mandment. This is known fto- all, and ft any offend auch must oxpect to pay the pe ty. That is all. Iris teaches nothing new in this regard. No doubt all “those with sympathetic hearts looked beyond the closed door and wept over the prostrate form of another human being;" but does Mr. Clark under~ take to say that the conventionality that demands at least bodily purlty is “hypo- critical and vilainous,” or aces he mainian that the conventivn that demands that one must choose between right and wiong is “hypocritical and villainous?’ Would he have soclety reorganised so that the wan- ton may run his or hgr course of wanton- ness, and then, returning, say, “I am aweary of my play and willing to be good,” and be restored to all the privieg and immunities that are now forfeited by such? Let him think a moment and picture to himself what sort of soclety would resuit from that condition. He might as well re- store the feast and rites of the Babylonish goddess and have done with it. Boclety has sald to its oftenders that they must bring forth fruits meet for repent- ance. Restoration to lives of. usefulness does not foliow immealately on the ac- knowledgment of the fault. Irls did not think of Trenwith that night when Mal- donado drove her from his flat; she thought of herself, just as she had from the fir What came to her in after years may be conjectured only. In “Resurreciion’ we had a picture of what might be and in “‘The Second Mrs. Tanquary’ another. But neither of these nor the extenuailng cir- cumstances surrounding the cases of either of thess women, is sufficient to cause £o- clety to revoke or modify Its decres con- cerning the status of both. The rule is the embodiment of mankind's respect for what is right, and anything that transcends or | transgresses it is wrong, and the wrong- doer must expect to be punished, and wiil not escape if detected. Clay Clement, who has been pleasing his audiences at the Boyd since the opening of his engagement Friday aight in “The New Dominion,” will close his engagement with two - performances today—matinee and night. “On the Bridge at Midnight" will be the offering at the Boyd Tuesday and Wednes- day nights and Wednesday matinee. George Klimt and Alma Hearn head the cast. The play fs called by its author a comedy- drama, although in fact it is a melodrama with & number of comedy scencs. The ac- tion of the play takes place in Chicago, in a district frequented by the slum résidents of the West Side. The main incident of the plece, an attempted murder, occurs on the Jackknife bridge which spans the river at n ;. street. This heavy plece of mechanism lifts {ts glant arms to allow a boat to pass and in so doing frustrates the evil design of the black mustached villlan. The story of the plece deals with the ventures of a blind mother, who seeks to find her child, who has been kidnaped. Everything, of course, ends happily. Miss Alma Hearn plays the part of “Reddy,” a stréet walf, who afterward proves to be the kidnaped child. Mr. Klimt will be seen as a cultured German, who befriends the walf and becomes the hero of the many ad- ventures the villlan forces on him. “The Little Prince: with Millle James fn the name part, will be the offering on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, A matinee performance will be given on Baturday. "The Little Princess” was writ- ten by Frances Hodgson Burmett, author of “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” Twelve ju- venlle artists assist Miss James. “The Little Princess” tells of the life of Sara Crewe, a pupll of Miss Minchin's school in London. Her father, Captain Paul Crewe of the English army, being very wealthy, has left hér at the school during his ser- vice In Indla, entrusting his money to a friend, Mr. Carisford. The latter invests his own and his friend's capital in a dla- mond mine, which proves a total loss. Crewe dles broken-hearted, and Carisfora is stricken with brain fever. Sara, who has hitherto had everything that her heart could desire, is suddenly made a charity pupll, treated with cruelty and neglect, made to sleep In'a rat-infested garret, scantlly clothed and starved. Carlsford recovers from his fever. Then he loarns that his investments have proven very profitable. He knows of Crew's daughter and seeks to make restitution. By chance he has taken a residence mnext to the school of Miss Minchin's. One day he sees the pitiful little Sara trudging by and his heart is filled with sympathy., He directs his Lascar servants to go to her garret while she s asleep, and they transform it Into & place of beauty. The child seeks her lonely bed In the dismal garret, ima- gines that she is warm and well fed, and that she is lo¥ed and pitled, and falls asleep. Then the room is changed by white robed Lascars into a veritable fairy- laind. Bara wakes, BShe still, thinks she dreams, and prays that If so she may dream always. Eventually little Sara comes to Carisford's house and he finds out that she is the child of his friend. At the Krug theater the first half of the week, opening with the matinee today, will be seen ‘The Beauty Doctor,” a musical comedy by C. Herbert Kerr and Howard M. Shelley, the former a young composer and the latter a Philadelphia Hewspaper man. It has been given an elaborate production by Fred B. Wright, and will be seen here with the entire com- pany of sixty and the complete scenio pro- duction. The story of the plece deals with the beauty culture fad, which is treated in & broadly satirical vein. The muslc is #aid to be bright and a dosen of the'songs are sald to be hits. The choruses and finales have a particularly dashing style, and are said to be effectively handled by the big beauty chorus, which has voice a8 well as looks. The show girls are sowned in Worth creations of taste and gorgeousness and there is a “pony ballet” of twenty girls whosé costumes are of an entirely new design. “The Peddler,” which comes to the Krug theater next Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, iw the vehicle which serves to intro- duce the Hebrew character delineator, Job Welch, as a star. The plot of the plece carries a story sald to be full of heart fn- terest and pathos, yet with sufficient com- edy thrown in to keep the audience in & happy frame of mind throughout. The story treats of the machinations of an adventuress, who lures the son of & re- spectable Hebrew clothing dealer Away from his father and drags him down the road to ruin. He denles his father for this ‘woman, robs his father's store and ruins him, yet, despite it all, father love pre- valls, and the merchant saves his son m prison and death. Mr. Welch, in the acter of Abraham Jacobson, has been given plenty of scope to show his histrionie abllity. He is surrounded with & big aet- ing company, while his managers, Sullivan, gan | &uding M Harris & Woods, bave seen to It that all stenic settings, mechanical effects and ae- cessories are the best Frederiek Bond, who may be recalled as a comedian with Frohman attractions, and his own little company, Ppresenting “My Awful Dad,"” are scheduled in the headline position of the new bill of eight varied features that opens the week with a matinee today at Orpheum.

Ordinarily one must perforce consign to the stern doom of the waste paper basket much of the epistolary eloquence expended upon musical and dramatic critics, but when a letter like the one to which 1 refer comes to one's notice it makes one think it much can be learned indirectly by taking the text of the letter and making it the spirit of one's text. To resumme, then, let us look at the matter from the critic's standpoint, as last week we looked at it entirely from that of the correspondent. , First of all, we must be careful, very careful, to read clearly and accurately just exactly what critics say. The present writer has suffered much contumely, much abuse (very well meant, and therefore harmless to the writer) through being misquoted, and through having people read Into the lines a meaning which was entirely foreign to the matter and a conclusion which was not in any way germane to tlhie case in point. I fear that my correspondent has erred in this particular, and I know that she will be glad to have this fact called to her at- tention, for the letter was a very honest one. She says: “I thought Loulse Gunning, with De Wolf Hopper, had a beautitul voice, but I did not see her recelve much notice, while Anna Held, who, I think, is a poor msinger, recelved a couple ef columns. Now, In the first piace, my correspondent should remember that Anna Held is not considered as a singer. She is just Anna Held, She does not draw the full houses Anna Held; she is an individuality; there 1s no other. She may have imitators, but they are just as conspicuously imitators as are the many imitations of that four- dollars-the-package beverage, which Ann: Held tells us “tastes like nee-eedl: Friends of mine who have the necessary wealth to Indulge in the imported have told me of this difference. ‘Whereas, Louise Gunning was merely an incldent of the De Wolf Hopper combina- tion, which was a very strong one, and in- cluded such old-time favorites and honored ones as Laura Joyce Bell, Digby Bell, Harry Norman, Grant Stewart and J. K. Adams. Most of the ainging was given to the men, and thi what The Bee sald about Miss Gunnin “Loulse Gunning looks ltke & sghool girl, but her contribution to the success of the performance is mainly through her volce, which, while not strong, i remarkably pure and sweet in tone; the solos ‘Speak Low' and the ‘Rainbow,’ sung by Miss were also well recelved.” in which Miss Gunning figured got 178 e lines in The Bee, and Miss Held's show got only 166, and that is far from “a couple of columns." I intended also to mention last week that there is not a Sunday in the year, more especlally during the season fro) September 1 to July 1, when people can not go to church in Omaha and have enough good music to last through the whole week. 1 notice in every Saturday's evening edition of The Bee & number of cholee programs, not one or two, but sev, eral, which the musicians who are engaged in the churches present for the enjoyment as well as the uplifting of the people. There s no admission fee charged, and the collection is a voluntary one. The services do not last long, and from the class of musiclans who are engaged in the leading churches, and the standing of those musiclans in the community, T can safely assert, without fear of contradic- tion, that the musiclans give to their Sun- day programs much time and much study and care, for which their salary does not begin to remunerate them. They are working for a great art. They are in love with it. Your presence will cheer them, your word of appreciation of thelr work, the fact that they may have helped raise your thoughts from the worries and crosses, and burdens of this life, for an hour, these things, I say, will gladden the hearts of the musicians in the churches and will make them more keen than ever to develop their opportunities, Would it not be a good idea té start, say today, on & weekly visit to any one ef these churches?
