But men and women of this descrip- tlon do not exist toda It they do the find their pleasure elsewhere than at the theater. “The Merry Widow" is belng of- fered to people of ordinary flesh and blood, and therefore {s producing its effect with a certainity as exact as any chemical action could possibiy be. il Mr. Savage was sufficiently astute to provide the opera with proper investiture An Omaha friend reports having seen it In London, where the scenery was merely painted on flat drops and the stage left bare. The effect was disappointing, My vage, wise in his day, handed the mat- ter over to e Marlon, premier of American stage wizards. Under his skill ful treatment ‘‘The Mercy Widow" ‘be- comes a thing of life so attractive, so alluring, as to be absolutély irresistible, Marion's geniys for dressing the stafe musical comedies has been t asions. “The Sultan of Prince of Pllsen.” “Woodland,”" and other successes derived most of thelr popularity from the settings provided by Marion. His I8 the mind In this case that sults the ac- tlon to the word. He rehearses the dances and the movements of the chorus, He pro- vides the costumes,] whose colors blend so harmoniously Into pictures that charm the eye while the music soothes the ear fact, he leads the assault on the senses to weave the spell that charms the listener out of himself and into the mood that most favorable for the enjoyment of performanc sensuous never be moved unless, eins were actually re- Geor in he Much of Marfon's work goes apparenily unnoticed by any save the most expert of erjtical The average patron of the theater merely realizes that there is some thing about the production which meats the little girl's description of salt “'8al she said, bad when you leave it out the Marion touch. It fs what makes th production lacking in something of perfec tlon when it Is omitted. The patron. sitting comfortably In his cushfoned seat, can yes, scargoly define just exactly what it is that | ple-ses him so well, yet he realizes it is there. When It Is missing he olso realizes vomething 1s lacking, although perhaps he could not tell exactly what. George Marion krows this and works his problem out just as does any other artlst. He paints his pletures with living people moving about continually, and yet with such deftness and Turpose that the pieture fs continuous, For example, in the ballroom scene of the opens ing act of “The Merry Widow,” It would be a very obluse stage director who would not have persoms moving about to carry out the verisimilitude of the ballroom, yet it required the knowledge and good (aste of a Marion to arvange those movements #0 that at no time was there any Inter- ference with the logleal procession of the events of the act or offense in good taste, in appearance or posture. Even the pro- cession down the grand stalrway is an achlevement. SBomething about that was pecullarly uttractive. It was simply a mat- ter of detall. Mr. Marion has arranged that the women, dressed in beautitul gowns of different hues and texture, shall appear in such order as will procure the highest possible artistic effect. And so on through- out the whole play, every detall is pro- vided to the end that the fllusion may be helghtened, that the eye as well as the ear will be charmed, and at no place will one detect a false note in color any more than @ talse note In the music. In fact, Marlon Is even more certain of his results than Conductor Mandeville, for a singer may occasionally get off key, a player in the orchestra may now and then strike a wrong note, but the chorus girl is never allowed 10 wear the wrong dress or get into the Wrong place in the parade. “The Merry Widow" is now belng produced In thirty | countries, but the United Stal has the | advantage of them all because it has the | only Henry W. Savage production staged| by George Marion. pu PN Mr. Joscph Medill Patterson's expose of life In « great newspaper office Is now being paraded before the public in Chi- cago, and Is recelving much attention from the citlzens and the newspapers. In time 1t will, perhaps, drift westward and Omuha | folks will get a chance to see the secret | springs of the daily press bared of all| mystery that has hitherto surrounded them. At the risk of belng accused of Jealousy, the assertion |s made that the publisbed accounts of the plot and actlon indicate that Mr. Patterson's play bears about the same relatibn to actual new: e} -paper life as do the efforts of Mr. Kieln in similar directions to actval business life. Mr., Patterson has indulged in con- siderable poetic ‘license in order to show up the sordid character of the business | office and the subservience of the edi- torfal department thereto, Of course, ex- ceptions are admitted, but the general pub- le is not mdvised exactly as to what papers are to be classed as being outside the rule laid down by *“The Fourth tate.” Briefly, “The Fourth Estate" tells the story of the struggles of a managing edi- tor of a ‘arge and influential muckraking daily printed, of course, In & metropolitan city. The managing editor, with the con sent of the owner, is in full ery on the n the fact that its | ted on many | In | 15 | the | | *'is what makes your potatoes taste So it is with | happiness in Its Charm Through Genius of George Ma The on voted room. In the original New York produc Mr Patterson had (he managing editor change am item that was going in on another pas: which stated brietly that a woman had shot herself through the head because she was “tired of a life of prosti tution.” The managing editor substituted his name for that of the woman, changed | “herself’ to “himself” and allowed the rest of the item to stand, and as the paper went to press above the clang and roar of machinery wae heard a pistol shot that led that audience to belleve that the man« aging editor had carrled out his purpose. Whether the result of a closer study of the habits of managing editors or because of a desire to cater (o the American de mand for a happy ending, Mr, Patterson has changed this. Now, instead of blow. Ing but his brains, the managing editor finds solace in the walting arms of an- other Not the proud and haughty sriginall woman, but, as they thing equally as good | the managing editol ay In Washington, *some- ' thus showing that s mission in life ks to | fall In love. Al this is set before thepeo- {ple with much circumstantial detail in | tended to prove that nothing is safe from | the corroding i of mere money Incidentally, an experience of the man- agement In connection with the New York production may be interesting. The plece was put In with a great flourish of real- fsm. “Everything is reproduced, as the showman says, “with life-like fidelity.” The editorial room is a real hive of lndus- try, sald to very much resemble the one described by Richard Harding Davis in his celebrated article, ‘‘Election Night in a Newspaper Office,”” the llke of which ex- Ists “neither in the heavens above, the Ring Out the Ol Twelve Months and All HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is [ the greeting one hears at every point. A Happy New Year! what everyone is saying to everyone else. It is the time of ringing In the New. It is also the time of vinging out some of the Old. It |5 the First of January, thls New Year's Day. And it 1s significant that the month s named from Janus, the old Ro- man god, considered the god of light and heaven, a sun-god. Others considered Janus the god of the entrance and door, and the shrine of Janus foymed an en- trance to the Forum. This shrine was a pair of parallel arched gateways, con- nected with side-walls and furnished gates. In any case Janus was a god of the be- ginnings, and was invoked at the opening of each prayer. Janus was represented as having taces, looking In opposite directions. —@ How appropriate for the New Year's day ldea. The day when one looks back over the past and finds out what things are to be rung out, and forward to the future to find out what things are to be rung in. What will we ring out? Thoughtlesaness is a thing which we might endeavor to ring out. So many times, great injuries are done by being merely thoughtless. Friends may be hurt, and duties may be neglected, and develop- ment along the way of culture and im- provement may be set aside, through noth- ing but thoughtlessness. The roason that many of the masters In music were neg- lected was that people didn't think. reason why so many of the most beautiful things in music are not known, is because people don't think. The reason why so many people In Omaha today who are musical are not developing their musical talents, {s for the little plain reason that they have not seriously ‘thought about it. The reason why clerks in the stores have | to work late at nights, even New eYar's eve, is because we purchasers are thought- less of them, and do not buy earlier. Just thoughtlessness. The reason why people persist in under- lining and marking passages in llbrary books, against the rules of the library—is because people are thoughtless. The reason why we have to see 4 sign in the library “Please keep your feet off the books" iy because people ara thoughtless. Nothing more. Just thoughtlessness. The reason why people do not get all the that they might out of life is because they do not think, or because they do not think of others, or because they do not think “far enough.” Let us start a happy ring out thoughtlessness. S Worry s another thing that we might eudeavor to ring out. What Is the use af worry, An old man died, and just before he passed away he called his sons, all grown men, o his bedside, and he sald: “My boys, I have lived a very long life, and 1 have had a great many troubles, none of which ever happened.” You see two w Year.

The daughter discovers that her affianced lover is about | 1o hold her futher up to the world as & monumental example of rascality, and goes to the office to plead that this disgrace be not visited upon her, She faces the managing editor in his natural habitat, the same belng the composing room the newspaper. and hiere she throws her el prostrate across the truck on which has been prepared the page that wipe her father off the political map, implores the managing editor ciful and witbhold the blaw.

Ordinary papler-machs machinery was not 800d enough for this modern newspaper play. cases, real trucks on which real pages were hauled across to the stereotyping room in the rear, and, above all, four real Mergenthaler linotypes casting real slug until the climax of the dramaturglcal w reached in the presence of slx genuine life-sized printers, four of them manning the linotypes and the other two perform- Ing around the makeup table. Nothing more daring in the way of realism had ever been attempted, and nothing more perfect could be conceived: at it seemed (o the management a moment fore the curtain went up on great scere.

Worry Is useless under all circumstances. A thing can be avoided or it cannot. If it oan be avolded, avoid it. If not, try in the most optimistic manner to make the best of it. 5 1t Is far wiser 1o oppose a worry thought, than to express it. Try it earnestly and see. But really mean to make it work. Let us ring out worry. It is of no good to anyone. It never heips, and it usually hurts, and always hinde Let us ring | |out worry. | While ringing out worry might do the same thing with its friend fear. You remember the old story about the plague on its way to a large city. It was stopped by & spirlt of the air who asked “Where are you going?' The plague replied, “To in order to kill 5,000 people.” Some time afterward the plague was returning and was met agaln by the spirit of the air, Who agked, “Whence are you?' The plague replied, “From - where 15,000 | people have just died.” “But” said the spirit, “I thought you were to kill only 5,000.” And the plague replied, “Yes, und that is all I did kill; the rest died of fright.” Fear never accomplishes anything. You can trailn yourself out of the fear thought, Others have done it, scores and hundreds and thousands of people. that is we ()\I-\}]\ Why “The Mery Widow” Entrances Us Seductive Lehar Music Rendered More Potent| Real imposing stones, real type, real | be- | 0 SUNDAY th. 2, AMUSEMEN JANUARY 1010 UN AMUSEMENTS, BOYD’ AMU ll."l:"l’ Omaha’s Only First Class nnm To n lght Also Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Nights—Matines Wednesday LOUIS F.
