! Public Taste and Immodesty at the Theaters " THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE H#-question of what should or should not be shown at the theater 18 10 be decided by, law At Des Moines, if the present agitation culminates in the passage of the ord e pend- iug before the council of that city. 1In débating the matter, Mr. Anderson, dra- matic editor B the Des Moines Capital, writes_thu #o much hysierla and so little common wense |8 manifested in the wholesale ax rajgnment of the stage by most of the iglormers that to advoeate calmer and saner consideration of wubject seemns 1utile. Besides, the que thoroughly discussed in these columns in the past that wo far. as my own views are concerned there s little to add. But 1 have t0o much pride in the city's progress 1o-#tand by without protest at an attempt 19 #et the town back, theatfically, into the days of the Puritans. ‘I'he original theater ordinance introduced I8 the city councll this week is absurd eough to place Des Moines in the lime.

But mn the over-seslous attempt to curb Indecent and pernieious exhibitions, u literal Interpretation and en forcement ' of 'the ordinance, It passed, would prohiblt the presentation of any play which treated of crime or sulcide. ‘This would mean the banishment from the igcal stage of the greater part of the serl s dramas, which of dramatic necessity £0r & moral lesson involve in some form or other the tragic misdeeds of humanity. We uld have to go to Omala to see “Ham It ‘Whieh is filled with murder and sul- e; 1o Kansas City, or some other city equally iniguitious in’ dramatic liberty, to sde '“The Thief,” for theft is a crime, ‘and Chicago and New York might be expected 10 revive "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for the amusement of provincial visitors who would b8 denied its exhilarating detalls at home. Of course, it s quite improbable that the ordinance will be passed in its original form. 1 only cite its introduction as an instance of how blindly and violently the raformers seek to deal in matters pertain- ing to the stage. The stage has there are occaslo; moral standard In ev institution of human has a great influence on our modern lite, and appealing more widely (o the masses than any of e other arts, «the drama should be nurtured with the most intel- lectual care. It Is needless to say that all those who have the welfare of the public at heart will endorse any movement to eliminate vice from the stage and further the progress of dramatic art. But the work 10 be effectual must be done by those wno have thoroughly investigated the conditivn Wno are qualified to point out the specific evils that demand attention and to sugKest a remedy that will not work a hardship upon the legltimate drama. m_the interest of simple justice it is to be deplored that the reformers who most loudly condemn the stage know the least about it: 1s it fair to condemn any instl- tution without making first a careful study of ‘the conditions and having specific knowi- edge upon which to base complaint? I admit that there is indecency and vul- garity on the stage. These are most fre- quently explofted in unmasked shape in the lower order of theatricals, but indecency and vulgarity masked as art are sometimes found in the more select playhouses. But hs curing of these evils never will be ac- complished by frantic execrations embra- the iheaters and all that there is in The question must be faced ealmly; Feformery must know whereof | th speak, and must be able to Alstinguish tween that which Is bad and that which is Bood, it & a difficult matter to define just what is indecent or immoral in pla; When it comea to a question of nudity, there b> a greater display of it In 'the box€s at the opera than on the stage. I have seen plays heralded as the most indetent of exhibitions, which are nothing more than repulsively vulgar. Again there are plays which, in thelr presentation and lan- Buage, would be passed without question by self-appointed censors tnat in their léstons are more immoral than the “in- decencles” which cause the purists to shriek with horror. In my opinion the only way to have a oral stage is to cultivate a healthy )T amusement and exerclse it. tion has been ®o viclousness, just deflections from , In as the ht In his closing paragraph Mr. Anderson Nas summed up the whole of the remedy. Yery lately some comment has been made in these columns anent the tople, the con- clusion then being that the public must diyide responsibility with the managers for the conditions complained of. The cul- tivation of a healthy moral sentiment must not be placed entirely on one or the other of the parties te the coutroversy, elther. ch must contribute In some way, each ng his share to bring about the result » generally desired. The managers can assist 4n this by refusing to produce a play of any kind whose chief attraction will depend on Its suggestiveness, Its im- morality or ils close approach to the im- modest or indecent: Such things are not essential to real success. Mr. Anderson does not strengthen his case when he re- fers to “Hamlet” as containing the ele- ments of - vlolence; frequently one hears some un(hinking person denouncing the Bible because within its sacred pages are 10 be found stories of violence and im- morality, These are but the somber depths ot sin inst which the context is di- re¢ted. The message of the Bible {s for good, for the uplift of mankind and for the spread of morality and the encourage- ment of right lving. The effect of a properly digested and correctly presented play is the same. No objection may be lodged against the theater on this score. Nor is it puritanical to ask that this be not lost sight of. gltess I Oue of the difficulties the earnest work- €¥s W the world of the theater encounter is that the vulgar mind readily seeks out vulgarity and will exchange its coin for the opportunity to withess a display of fm- modesty that has only its vulgarity to com- mend 1t to notice. To the healthy mind no Qanger resides in such a condition, It s only when evil bedecks Itself in garments of wit and sparkles under the fair cloak of intelloctual respectability that it assumes e attitude of genuine danger. Men and women have lost but little in moral stature because some things that were considered immodest & few yaars ago are no longer looked upon as sugh. Custom has changed. Many things are permitted nowadays that A generation ago would not have been toler- ated. For example, In the seventles Lydia Thompson's “British Blondes” were sidered the very acme of daring, and the debate that followed them in thely tour across the country was loud and Terce. Today the statuesque Lydia and her fair companions would be looked upon as rather mild, when compared to some of the dis- [t con- plays made In connection with musical comedies and burlesque shows. Whether the world is better or worse for this change Is not in point; the change has come over the habits of thought, and peo- ple ure no longer shocked at the appear- ance of & Woman In tights on the stage. It is only when that appearance is ac- companied by suggestive act allusion ihat it becomes offensive to §ood manners. or e This shifting view of public morals has other aspects. In no way has It abandoned the basic principles of hopesty or in dividual responsibility. Certdin things have Lisen wrong since the beginning of man's aveer as a responsible being. Aside from (hese fundamentals, which are too obvious | 8 require specification, “mordlity" has long been & matter of geograp Conduct congidered Improper inone locality is con- sidered correct in mnother, and to under- take 1o lay down hard and fast rules on @i points that might be mentioned is to bring the whole question into ridieul And the perversity of man's nature is that he prefers to do those things he ought not to do. One case will serve to lllustrate, When Arnold Daly first wundertook to oduce “Mrs. Warren's Profession” in 2 ‘w York, much to do was occasioned by o project. Press and pulpit railed and thundered against the drama as lmmoral end unfit for public presentation, and the authoritics were bestiried to action. Ounly ofie way to tell exactly appeared, and that was 1o wee the performance. So Mr. Daly was permitted to go ahead with a single performance. On that night the jam at the theater exceeded anything New York had ever witnessed. Men and women strug- gled madly to get inside, and as high as 825 paid for a seat. The police re- | ported against the drama, and the actors were put under arrest for giving an im- moral performance. . The case dragged | along some months, and finally the judge handed down his opinion, 1o the effect that was “Mrs. Warren's Profession” Is not an im- moral play. An/ effort was made to re- vive it, and no one cared to see it, It had lost the attractive quality of evil. Thig' argument proceeds in a circle al- and comes back to the point taken Mr. Anderson. ‘“‘Cultivate a healthy ways by Julian Eltinge HE Traveling Salesman,” James Forbes' latest comedy success, which will be seen under the management of Henry B. Davis at the Boyd theater for four nights, beginning tonight, s a comedy of character and Is distinguished by an abundance of wholesome humor, energetic action, breezy dialogue and sym- pathetic touches of human emotions, that marked the author's previous offering, “The Chorus Lady.” Mark Smith will be seen In the role of Bob Blake, the jovial “knight of the road,” who finds the romance of his life In the Grand Crossing railroad station, where he has been marconed on | & cheerless Christmas day. Miss Miriam Nesbitt will appear ih the part of the sympathetic station operator and ticket agent, who shares her meager Christmas lunch with the persuasive stranger and presently finds her heart enmeshed in the tendrils of his' Jove. The story of “The Traveling Salesman” is simple and to the point. Beth Elliott is about to lose an apparently worthless plece of land through a tax sale. A professed lover, Frankiyn Royce, enters Into a plan with a millionaire sharper to buy it in, knowing that the rallroad wants it and will pay any price to acquire it. During a poker game in the second act, which incidentally is the most laughable creation that ever emanated from the brain of a playwright, Royce becomes intoxicated and babbles about the scheme to Blake, who s already head over heels In love with the girl. Blake anticipates the intended flank movement of the enemy and plans to block it. This Impetuous action on his part Involves him in all sort of pre-| dicaments and imperils his position with his firm. His action is misconstrued by the girl and, for a While, his affair of the heart is In danger, although before the final cur- tain falls everything is straightened out and the pair are happily married. Through- out ‘the entire action of the play mirth runs riot and the audience is never for a moment without a hearty laugh. Others in the company which helped t6' make the plece such an emphatic success during Its metropolitan runs are James O'Nell, jr.; Clitfford Stork, Lawrence Sheehan, Theo- dore Kehrwald, Danlel Jarrett, Guy B. Hoffman, Emmett Shackleford, Robert Hamilton, Miss Diana Huneker, Miss Mar- fo Stephenson and Miss Virginla Hamil- ton. LT One of the latest musical comedies, namely, “The Prince of Tonight,” will be- gin a three nights' engagéement at Boyd's, starting Thursday evening, with a matinee on Saturday. The cast Is headed by Henry Woodruff, the well known leading man, and serves to introduce him for the finst time in Omaha as a musical comedy star. ‘The Prince of Tonlght” has what few musical comedies of the present day have, a thoroughly defined plot, dealing with the old legend that whoever is.at the blgoming of a century plant his wish will be' granted for twenty-four hours. Mr. Woodruft, who plays the hero, utters this | wish and is transformed from a poor col- lege boy Into the Prince of Lunitania, a mythical land of falries, dreams and moon- light. He goes through the usual vicls tudes that occur to the hero of a musical comedy, but finally wins the girll of his heart and eyerything ends happlly. Among the successful songs are “I Wonder Whose Kissing Her Now,” “You're a Dear Old World After AlL"” “Can 'This Be Love," “Her Eyes Are Blue for Yale. Miss Ruth Pecbles, late | prima donna of Savage's forces; Viola Hopkins, Margaret McBride, Arthur Aylesworth, John C. Leach, Joseph Herbert, jr.; Lew Lawson, Edward Beck and forty or more show girfs and brollers assist Mr. Woodruff, In “The Lion and the Mouse” Charles | Klein, its alithor, has succeeded in drawing clean-cut, powerful studies of two widely contrasting types. He portrays in “Ready Money Rydq the enormously rich man whose life Is gulded solely by business principles and he draws with firm, sure touch and masterful skill, the woman of tenderness and sympathy to whom the severe, cruel man of business is little better than a monster. He has concelved prob- able situations in which the conflict of these two types is one of force and semi- brutality on one side and lightning-like { keenness and brilliancy on the other. He |makes the wit of “The Mouse" sironger than the might ot “The Lion." The play Is interesting, convincing and persuasive. The forthcoming local engagement of “THe Lion and the Mouse” at the Krug on Sun- day for a week's engagement is particu- larly interesting, from the fact that it will be offered for the first time' at popular prices, thereby giving opportunity to those of moderate income to witness this allur- ing play. The cast is still at the $1.50 standard, As is also the scenic surround- ings. The cast contains many sterling, standard players, prominent among whom may be mentioned Oliver Doug Byron, |Clifford Leigh, Seymour Stratten, Willlam | & Burton, Walter ‘Allen, George Carson- | Cassellberry, Edith Barker, Ida Glenn, |Rose E. Tapley, Dora L. Allen, Elizabeth De Witt and Ella Craven. Matinees will {be glven as usual on Wednesday and Satur- | day i | The Lambardi Grand Opera company has | toured the United Btates for many years, | visiting ,this eity often in its travels, but | Tmpregsario Mario Lambardi promises that this year he will bring the most complete company that he has ever brought here. | Included 1n the company of M7 pefsons 1s | 40 orchestra of tifty and & chorus of sixty, | both far superior to any orehestra or | chorus. that has ever visited Omaha with ' | thia or any other company in recent years. | Thirty-seven principals will interpret the Regulation by Ordinance Not Likely to Bring About Reformation Sought -- Cultivation of | Healthy Amusement Appetite the One Remedy taste for amusement and exercise it.” Frank Lea Short, well these parts for his never failing smile, his optimistic views and his devotion to “art for art's sake,” is filling his mission and incldentally offering opportunity for play writers such as they have never had be- fore. Mr. Short is undertaking to bring writer and producer together in a rational way. In other business transactions the purchaser generally gets some sort of visualized idea of the nature of his pur- remembered in chase. In buying a drama the producer has | taken it on the author's reputation or his own managerial judgment, and many a flat fallure has resulted because of this. On the other hand, many a good play has gone begging, and some of the greatest of popular successes have been handed At the Omaha Theaters “The Traveling Salesman” and “The Prince of Tonight,” Both New, Coming to the Boyd—‘The Lion and the Mouse” to Have a Week at the Krug—Orpheum Offers Vaudeville and Gayety.

The repertoire here is “La Boheme,” Thursday, February 3; “Faust," Friday; “Lucla,” Saturday matinee, and “Il Trovatore,” Saturday evening. it Claiming that her recent visit to London, where she scored tha greatest hit ever achieved by an American actress, has only resulted in increasing her thorough love of all things American, Rose Stahl will con- tinue her tour this season in James Forbes' comedy, “The CMorus Lady,” and will be seen at the Boyd theater for four nights, commencing Sunday, January 3. The pro- duction and cast will be almost identical Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian who last year took New York by storm and who crowded the huge New York theater to its capacity for elght weeks, will be seen in Omaha at the Auditorfum for two perfor- mances, matinee, and evening, on Wednes- day next. He ls something more than a fad, for a fad is a matter of the moment, and when one has once seen Harry Lauder he is forever an admirer of the genial little Scotchman who is today the highest sal- aried artist on the stage. To the posses- sion of a splendid baritone voice he adds the abllity to write songs that linger in the memory and then sings them as no one else can sing them. There 18 a rollicking go and dash to his work that is a real treat And in the sincerity of his humor lies his chiefest charm. He is versatile, too, this clever man, for there is a world of con- trast in the tender sentiment of “I Love a Lass the splendid character work in m the Safest o' the Family,” the rollick- Ing spirit of “Fou the Noo" and the humor of “Back to Bonnle Scotland.” Hach char- acter is as distinct and separate from the others as would be the work of another man and each possesses its appeal. Mr. Lauder heads a company of American and Buropean artists, each of whom is ordi- narily a star, and a special orchestra Is carried which ls under the direction of Mr, Lauder's personal director, Mr. Charles Frank. One of the most interesting bills of the seasonis scheduled for the Orpheum thea- ter this week. “Our Boys in Blue,” a military spectacle, makes its American re- Appearance after a three years' tour In Europe. It Is given by a company of seven- téen men and one woman, Who plays tho part of the Red Cross nurse. The work includes' artillery drill, infantry drill, biyouac and a battle, in which & miniature battleship takes part.

To this he adds a serics of amusing and difficult feats. The Picquays, just ar- rived from Burope, promise something novel in their-offering. - Another foature of this week's bill is “Rosa Roma,” who in ‘addition to her skill as a violinist, has a personality that captivates her audlence. The Orpheum orchestra will contribute to each entertalnment a fine program of con- cert selections. The kinodroms will offer something new in motion plctures.
