Then there is the detall of look- ing up the meaning of all foreign words or unknown signs, which everybody who studies musie must do as many times as necessary in order to remember them if they would play or sing correctly. There are the detalls of musical taste, which #should be developed simultaneously with €very new composition studied, There are the detalls of musical feeling, which are cousing of the last mentioned, but which include more. The details of musical taste would include a nicety of phrasing, clearness of passage work, and balance of tone, while details of musical feeling would include a larger poetic grasp of the entire composition, the development of ® fecling of rhythm; the detalls of think- Ing out puzsling passages so as to por- tray them most logically, the enotional detafls one might say. There are the de- tails of memory, for no one either sings or plays in public nowadays with music excepting, of course, orgnists, who have enough to memorize withéut the notes.

M. Gillan, former manager of the Auditorium, who went to San Francisco to be present at the closing of the big exposition, has written of the stirring scenes of that last night and of the part Art Smith, the daring aviator, who was here two years ago and startied the Ak- Sar-Ben vieitors by his numerous and daring gyrations in the air. Mr. Gillan ““The closing day of the great Panama- Pacitic exposition was one of wonderful interest and enjoyment to the 460,000 peo- ple who thronged the grounde. ““The scens at midnight was one never to be forgotten. At the stroke of 13| President Moore began to turn off the lights in the magnificent Tower of Jewels. “A moment of quiet and then, whoop, Ia! the air was full of fireworks and the shrieks of whistles that almost split one's head. “Then Art Smith appeared over the bay, soaring high into the sky in the darkness with great streams of flame following his gyrations. “When Smith finally took his plunge toward earth to make his landing the immense throng began to move toward the gates. The thing was done. “As the light began to fade from the glittering structure one could hear many soba from the multitude of people stand- ing in silence in the Court of the Universe, walting and watching for the last view of this marvelous lllumination; and many & tear trickied down the cheeks of both women and men as darkness mantled the superb structure in a gloom that seemed almost pathetic. The people of San Francisco, and, In fact nearly everybody who has visited the exposition, have loved that matchless ‘“Tower of Jewels “We have all been so impressed with that popular feature that we have al- most learned to look upon it with #pirit of worship. It was so uplifting and wholesome and inspiring that everybody | foll in love with its towering, scintilating beauty at first sight. and cut out the electric lamps in that beautiful structure, last night at mid- night, but no human hand—no, not even God himself—will ever turn off the light that will shine forever and forever in the souls of those who looked upon that matchless piece of architecture. The “Tower of Jewels" will continue to throw out its myriad colors of cheerfulneas, not only for the people of California, but to all quarters of the civilized globe; for millions of people have carried away with them the glittering image of that beautiful structure, on the tablets of their memory and in the fiber of their soul “The people of California deserve the ning and carrying to success this won- | derful exposition, Considering the terri- ble conditions wnder which nearly all of Aljee Vi Davis presents Gertrude Al '_mt;-l.'ru b of Europe has been struggling ever since the exposition opened, it is indeed mar- velous that 'S0 stupendous a project should h been carried to success. “I shall ever remember the last few “President Moore turned off the switch | congratulations of the world for plan- | THE | | | | | N THE art of toe critics have declared Bessie Clayton supreme.

Since she has firmly established herself in Burope und In America as a premiere danseuse, her coming to the Orpheum for the week starting today is to be reckoned as one | of the leading events of the vaudeville season. Having been featured in *‘Miss Nobody from Starland” and “A Modern Bve,” Bertle Beaumont and Jack Arnold come in a skit called “The Doctorine.' It 1s & musical comedy in miniature. A feature that proved attractive enough to return over the circult is “Love in the Buburbe,” a breezy and snappy comedy sketch by Charles M.’ Dickson. It has a thread of a story, a human interest bit In ft.

Three headliners that will constitute the distinction this particular week are, “The Telephone Tan- kle,” one of the biggest features in vaude- ville; Frank Fogarty, styled “The Dub- line Minstrel,” and Long Tack Sam, the Chinese humorist, who is one of the most unique figures in vaudeville, The next attraction at the Brandeis the- ater will be the de Koven Opera com- pany, on December 28 and 29, in an am- bitious production of “Robin Hood.” This is the company organized by Reginald de Koven, the composer, for the purpose of restoring the glories of English light opera. Heading the present company are Ivy Scott, dramatic soprano, from ‘the “Madam Butterfly” company, who sang | Maid Marian all last season, and James | Btevens of the Chicago Grand Opera com- | pany, who sang Little John last season. Another valuable member this season 18 | William Schuster, who will be #sean in the jrole of Friar Tuck.

W, (Billy) Cole. This will be the fourth week of Omaha's popular stock company. The new bill is full of bright comedy, amusing slans and wholesome village humor. The story and action run through four acts of solid en- joyment. Bob Blal a knight of the grip, meets Beth Elliott at a rallroad station where she is ticket seller and operator. Peth shares her Christmas lunch with | new friend, who learns that the girl is about to lose some valuable property on account of unpald taxes. There is a love interest and a counter plot, with a | happy ending when Bob and Beth be- come husband and wife. | The Chicago Ladies' Orchestra has re-| hearsed a new program and will ‘be in evidence. These young women have re- celved a measure of the applause during the three weeks they have beenm here, Matinees will be given on Thursday and | Saturday. Reservations may be made for any performance, and the same seats may | be reserved from week to week by ap- plying at the box office. The manage- ment once more calls attention to the policy of respectabllity being observed at the Krug, whose clientele is growing with each performance. The Krug theater management an- | nounces that arrangements have been | made for the presentation of the follow- | ing plays during the weeks to col | “Parish Priest,”” “Tempest and Sunshine, “Niobe,” “Broken Rosary,” jLion and Mouse,” “Girls,” “Spendthrift” and “Kindling." Manager Cole assures patrons of the theater that a careful presentation | will be given of each play. | The bill at the Empress for the first| half of the week promises to be one nri the best vaudeville bills of the Season. | Out of the four aots three are real head- liners. The first act heading the bill is | the Four Reguls in their most sensational and scenic production, ‘“The Armorers.” This 1s & real novelty and act that has no equal. Vaudeville patrons have been enthused over strong men, but never | bave they been able to see an act which | consists of four strong men. Emil Regal, | the prince of strong men, holds & 0. pound anvil by his teeth, while his broth- ers beat it with sixteen-pound sledge- Beaumonte At the Raul Griffith hammers. This is only one of their dar- ing feats of strength and acrobatics. A {.-«cnnd headline attraction is Arthur Loeb, the “hero of the Eastland disaster,” the seventy-two hours. The third attraction is Victorson and Forrest in their sketch, “Outwitted.” And last, but not least, is Cavanaugh and Shaw in their black and tan comedy, offering songs, talks and ec- centric dancing. The feature photo-pro- | duction for the first half of the week is | & Broadway star feature, “Wasted Lives,” with Arline Pretty and Leo Delaney in the leading roles.
