This opens a vista so att one would fain linger by and beauties for a time. We have of the hand-tailored drama unfinished actors, that the made output o a welcome innova tion. 1t will change, at any rate Just how much, one may not exactly say, | for the foundations of Willam A.

In addition to Miss George, who {s Mrs. Brady, Robert Mantell, Louls Mann, Otis Harlan and Wright Lorimer sail under the Brady ba and will g0 with him to the Shubert A1l of which makes one tain writers, especially persist in referring to the Erlanger combination as the “monopoly” and the Shubert aggregation as ‘“the open door.” 1f the tales told by the Shuberts are to be belleved, the Klaw & KErlanger monopoly nowndays looks something like the Ro- Jostvensky fleet after our old friend Togo gave it a reception In the Sea of Japan. It 18 shot so full of holes that it resembles Harry Deuel's skimmer. And as to the “‘open door,” it opens like the orators used to say of the gates at Castle Garden— inward only. All over the United States theaters stood idle last winter, because the Shuberts could not afford the attractions to fill them. In Omaha one house went from the Shubert fold to the burlesque because of the fallure of the Shuberts to provide the bookings they had promised. In Denver the magnificent Auditorium was turned fnto a municipal playhouss, at which the Shubert attractions were to be presented for the purpose of downing the iniquitous trust, and during the short time this arrangement was in vogue the city lost so many thousand dollars that refer- erce is no longer made to it as a shining to act In ¢ Jersey active that enjoy its nad so much | presented by | Brady custom- may common or dramm was nded of tes who wept over of coined gone fold. wonder head-lino aw & why cer writer Passing Comment on Musical Matters Music Department of Woman’s Club Able Leadership of Blanche Sorens o: Information on the Establishment and Support of Symphony Orchestra AST Thursday the musical editor of The Bee had the opportunity of saying a few words to the musical department of the U] Women's club, ana was much interested in the enthusiastio body of musical people who were there to attend the last meeting of the season. Under the capable leadership of Ml Blanche Sorenson, this department has passed through one of the most successful and Instructive years in its history. The professional people have lent thelr assis- tance, not so much4n musical performance 18 in the role of lecturers or expounders. For example, there was much sald last Thursday about the splendid time the peo- ple had at the meeting previous, when Mr. Sigmund Landsberg gave very helpful and clear ideas on the various higher forms of musle. Another musiclan gave previously an fllustrated address on “Fugue.”” Mem- bers are admitted to these affairs free, having paid, however, a general fee for the season, & nominal price, $2 per an- num, and it is not necessary to belong to the Woman's club proper in order to be- long to this department. The program Thursday was a very inter- esting one, Mrs. Wagoner being the star attraction and shining very brightly in- deed In the Grieg sonata opus 7, and in the second Hungarian Rhapsody by Lisst Miss Grace Hommel and Miss Edith Collals contributed vocal solos which were en- thusiastioally recelved and Miss Bsther Duley, pupil of Mr. Henry Cox, played some violin numbers with unusually good tone, being accompanied at the piano by her teacher. Mrs. Wolcott and Mrs. H. G. Fox also assisted as accompanists. The department expressed its approcia- tion of Miss Sorenson’s leadership by pre- senting her with a valuable gold souvenir and electing her once more to the position of leader. i An out-of-town has sent me af copy of the Denver Post, which is | stated), “delivered anywhere on earth for| 15 cents a week,” and in it there is the sanest, most direct and most truthful ar ticle on the establishment of orchestras that has come before the eyes of the musi- ca) critic of The Bee for many moons. Denver is giving a festival, and the pur- pose of the festival is sald to be the foun- dation of & permanent orchestra, Strangely enough, Omaha finds itselt in exactly the same position. So it should certainly be interesting to read the following summing up of the situation. And, incidentally, it Wil serve to refresh you on the merits of our much valued Mr. Oberhoffer who, Wwith the Minneapojis Symphony orchestra, will be Omaha's guest next month at the May festival Here is the article in toto Next week Denver is to have & musical festival.

Mr. Hawley, now associate oditor of the Musical Courfer, was once upon & time a ‘cellist of otion and distinetion who found himself surrounded by a large famiiy, much musie and many problems that heap the path of existence and refu to lge the arts as negotiable securi- ‘herefore he hung his bow on a wilow tree. ran his lon T naturally thought” said Mr. Hawley, My 18 Orchestras and plavers | swoap. | west | that even Art cannot exist without support, | on the fingers of one hand; so that means | and you need not be Grace George's Husband and Manager Draws Attention " |by Joining Shuberts -~ Small Interest of the Public in the |Noisy War of Words Between the ** Trust ' and * Open | Door ™ lexample of what a theater controlled by | the public might do.

A reference to Mr. Kelly's Musi- cal Department in this lssue will show the reader that the symphony orchestras of which great citles boast are supported by private subscription; grand opera is supported in Europe by princes, in America by millionalres; the state theatera of Eu- rope have never pald, and tne Wew Theater in New York has not so far proved self- supporting. This state of facts makes the problem for the managers extremely sim- ple; they must have for the theaters that which the public will pay to see, or they must close up. Now, the actors who can always be relled upon fill a theater every night it is opened, can be counted to at plays must be depended upon, and the te of the public in plays is about as re. liable as that of bass in regard to bait, | an expert: fisherman in order to understand this. Ccinins Add Sunday Amusements wrBhYoulé o g AR L'i’rl.’fi&dy‘-.ta‘afecmn e Tt any appreciable perturbation among the syndicate.” The public announcement was made, “We have been trylng to get rid of Brady for some time.” Just how much of sincerity there is In this an- nouncement the public will never know, but the fact remains both sides to the con- troversy are acting In what they conceive to be their own Interests, and without re- gard to the public, save on the one polnt that they wish to maintain their theaters on a basis that will draw patronage to the extent of profit. Mr. Brady's addi- tional statement that he is going to es- tablish the largest theatrical manufactur- ing plant in the world amounts to no more that his mere assertion, and the con- troyersy between the “trust” and the “open door” will wage as furiously next season as it has at any time. If it can be solved in such & way as will bring to the theaters Hasa Vefi Prosperous Year Under n—DBenver People Get Very Direct the orchestra could be pushed forward as soon the final curtain has been rung down on the festival. “I find, however, that only the most nebulous ‘ideas are ‘floating about. Every one wants to do something—but what? A symphony orchestra is something that must {irst of all have a large guarantee fund that will carry for not less than five years. This fund must bs Inspired largely through the social element, after which the organisation as an educative gent can be considered. Without the interest of soclety and the rich men and women who fill its ranks it is worse than folly to waste time con- sidering the establishment of such a._thing. “No symphony orchestra in existence pays for itself or ever made a cent for anybody. “That of Minneapolis has 160 guarantors. St. Paul, 10. Cincinnati is secured by the promise of ' forty of its foremost citizens to write checks to meet the sure and cer- tain deficit. Philadelphia also has forty men willing to pay debts. Pittsburg found no trouble In Interesting fifty of its mill- fonaires in symphonic music; the Seattle orchestra goes its blithe way bulwarked by fifteen guarantors, while the St. Louis fund {s assured by fifty citizens, who realize that no agent of civil uplift is as effective as the music of its orchestra. ‘Orchestras cost money to assemble and maintain. To begin with, it is necessary for the artistic success of an orchestra to secure a director with European education and prestige. Music.is in the bones of the people on the other side and every or- ganization that has forged fo the front on this side has been under the leadership of some man trained in the orchestras and »pera houses of Europe. ““Take, for instance, hoffer of Minneapol There s & man with executive as well as musiclanly genius. He can not only inspire men to zo into thelr pockets, but he can Inspire them to turn their very heart's blood into melody. Oberhoffer came to Minnepolis slghteen years ago.

The red-haired. dreamy-eved ~musiclan first of all found out how the society people would take to such a venture and by de- vious ways interested the legders in his scheme. Then he went to several of the financial pillars of the city and one of them, Mr. Carpenter, he fllled with the zeal of leadership. “Having listened to the siren call of Oberhoffer's voice and story.

We do not waste time in efforts at lysls in dealing with Miss Adame, but accept as she I, and sum up the entire list of her attractions in the single word of “personality. Within cert well defined limits Miss Adams has been the most successful of modern actresses. Her capability is well understood and her manager Is shrewd enough to press her beyond the limit. The experiment he proposes for next seasonf When “Chante cler” will be produced in New York, with Miss Adams playing the part of the roos- ter, is already discounted. The novelty of the production will be sufficient, per- haps, to draw the multitudes, but it not expected that she will do anything to add to her historic record by means of the undertaking. siigpin The combination of Barrie and Adams has béeen an unusually successful one, and it 18 no reflection on the actress to say that the author is entitied to the larger share of the credit. Maude Adams' greatest suc- cess was achleved as “Lady Babble,” when Barrie's fame was already made secure as author of “The Little Ministe No mod- ern writer has confined himself to %o nar- row a fleld as has this genial Scotchman, nor brought forth so abundantly from so unpromising a sofl.

The others were imported and shown that it would be to their advantage to come and remain, A man never makes any money in music, but he must be promised a living. That is_what Denver must do If it expects to take its place with the art centers of the country. Enthustasm, such as is now lighting up the ecenery and furnishing motive power for the festival managers,’is a superb thing, according to Mr. Hawley, but checks are better, much better. in se- curing orchestras. To gain the latter through the former, Mr, Hawley—who, be it remembered, has made art the hand- maid of business—suggests the formation of a symphony orchestra club in which our best citizens will be recruited and put to & work guaranteeing more than their moral support. Then import a leader of known achlevement and talent. Then im- port as many musiclans as will be neces- sary. But first of all secure, as with rivets, the co-operation of society.
