The play opens, showing Youth called away from his home and his sweetheart, Love, by Ambition. When Youth reaches the great city he meets “Experience” on the street Vacillation, who promises Youth that he will be his constant and helpful companion in his journey. Gay Pleas- ure is introduced to Youth and with her subtle charms wins him from Am- bition to the primrose path. There, heedless to the voice of Opportunity, Youth mects and mingles with all the temptations that inevitably sur- round the young. Youth wastes his time and money with Intoxication, Passion and other' gay ladies and gradually drifts lower and lower in the world. He is at last saved from Crime only by the miracle of a moth- er’s love. The stage settings of “Experience” are elaborate and spectacular. The costumes are the very latest achieve- ments in sartorial art and the inci- dental music in the play is said by the critic to be very delightful. The variety of attractions “Experience” presents appeals to every one, the dramatic writers say, no matter whether it is an evening's entertain- ment, a fashion show, or an intensely human drama. In the cast of notable players will be Conrad Nagel, Louise Gerard, Maude Furniss, Edmund Elton, Ediia Fenton, Peggy Ford, Duncan Pen- warden, Lilie Leslie, Adele Durand, Holt, Harriet Gustin, Guy Collins, Lillian Armstrong, Dan Van Charles, Chiltonham Raulkner, William Bemus, Irene Palmer, Edward Van Vechten, Joseph Weber, Peggy O'Keefe, Louise Everett, Betty Blythe, Mar- garet Browning, Harold Burnett, Al- bert Gran, Max Rudnick, Alice Pal- mer, John Harrington, George Barry, John F.

OME TIME ago the writer asked Mr. Kelly for infor- mation concerning the ic Music association of munity clubs it sponsors. report of the association, a program book, and a brief bulletin, all of which ciety are “to promote and encourage the “understanding, appreciagion and study of the art of music and the de- out the community, principally by providing music entertainments and instruction gratuitously, or at little expense, in the small parks and play- grounds and other civic centers.” The membership is made up of con- tributing members who pay $50, or more, and this list includes some of the names of Chicago's most promi- nent citizens; sustaining who pay $2 a year and who make up the largest portion of the member- ship; and the neighborhood members at 50 cents a year. These are mem- bers of the community clubs and their dues make many of them practically self-supporting. Many special contri- butions are made by clubs and organi- zations. sociation are the leading musical | clubs, the Chicago Association of Commerce, the Chicago Women's club, the Orchestra association, the commissioners of the public parks (the South Park commission appro- priating $800 in recognitiori of the work done in organizing music clubs), the Department of Public Welfare, the Board of Education :(which not only gives free use of its buildings, butpermits an admission fee of 10 cen'ts) and the music extension com- mittee of the City club. gt The membership fees and contri- butions all go to make up the annual budget, which carries the association through each season. This money is spent in salaries for a superintendent and stenographer, musical directors, teachers and accompanists for the civic music clubs, all of whom are Lpaid; in artists concerts, for music, printing, etc. The officers and di- rectors are from the best known residents of Chicago and include among others Mrs. George B. Car- enter, Mr. William H. Rehm, Angus ibbard, . Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield John C. Schaffer and Mr. John Alden Carpenter, '/ | According to the Chicago Post: “Last winter the Civic Music associa- in small parks and schools, twenty- eight children’s classes, nine commu- nity signs' and three community con- certs on the Municipal Pier, 307 choral rehearsals in small parks and schools, 147 artist ~programs and twenty-five local-talent programs In small parks and,gchools,” besides six- ty-nine Dalcroze lessons for children, eighteen class violin lessons, a Christ- mas. festival of carols, two spring fes- tivals by civic music clubs and a big community cgneert at the Lane.Tech- nical High schools, besides other ac- tivities.” Pretty good for one season, isn't it? From the superintendent’s report one learns that “too much cannot be said on behalf of the musicians who give their services for a nominal sum, either for concert programs or for conducting civic music clubs. In that connection I should like to add that too much cannot be said for the Civic Music association for paying the mu- sicians even the nominal sum. In some pldces the musicians have been expected to go in all sorts of weather and pay their own way to get to out- ter Garden extravaganza, “A World of Pleasure,” is annéunced for an en- gagement at the Boyd theater for three nights, beginning November 16, with matinee Saturday. This spec- tacular production has created phe- nomenal successes in New York, Chi- cago, Boston, Philadelphia and other large cities in the east, and it comes to this city not'only with the un- qualified endorsement of theatergoers and dramatic reviewers, but with the same splendid cast, chorus and scenic gagement in Chicago. The play was but recently re-costumed, as a feature of its presentation has been a fashion parade of the la!es) gowns. —— For the week of November 5, the Orphetm will present Mrs. Langtry ture. A specially featured attraction for the week of November 5, will be Harry and Emma Sharrock, in “Be- hind “the Grand Stand,” cast as no- mads of the county and state fairs and give a baffling exhibition of their phsycic powers. b Rose Sydells famous “London Belles,” a century ahead of all com- peting organizations, is the attraction at the popular Gayety this week. The company this season carries fifty peo- ple together with a complete scenic and electrical equipment; the cos- tumes are gorgeous, producing to the eye a constant dazzling effect. The broduction is a two-act musical bur- esque entitled “A Trip to Washing- ton,” concoction of laughable situa- tions, intermingled with catchy mu- sical ensembles introduced by the large chorus of handsome girls rich- ly gowned. Johnnie Weber and Bill Campbell, comedians, keep the fun moving at a warm speed, never let- ting it get cold. The rest of the cast is Ward Coulfield, Frankl Sinclair, Ed Wright, Harry Waltjerl, Frances Cornell, Grace Tremont, Kate Pull- man, Norine and Rose Sydell herself. Today's mawlee starts at 3 o'clock. S e The bill opening at the Empress to- day is headlined by an organization of pretty and talented young girls, six daughters of Dixie, in an artistic mu- sicafnov:lty, On the same bill Swain’s pets are presented in Omaha for the first time. Performing cats and rats is the nature of the act. The old- time enenies of animal life seem to get along famously on the stage and show the effect of the intelligent training of their master. The boys from Louisville, Bowman Bros., have a singing act above the average and Smith & McGarry present new steps in excentric dancing in a very clever sketch. velopment of musical talent through- | members, | who pay $10 a year; regular members, | Co-operating with the as-| Zeisler, Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Mr.; tion conducted 549 children’s classes | equipment that it had duying its en-| (Lady De Bathe) as its stellar fea-| | of-the-way places to perform for nothing.

The objects of this so- | cause shows how the musicians them- selves appreciate the spirit of the club and also their interest in its activi- ties.” It was through the combined ef- | forts of the Civic Music association and the Music Extension committee of the City club that the “popular” concerts of the Chicago Symphony orchestra have become a permanent factor in Chicago's musical life. On November 14 the fall festival of the Civic Music association will take place in Orchestra hall. The Chicago Symphony orchestra, Frederick Stock conducting; Mme. Julia Claussen, as- sisting soloist, and the Civic Music clubs will furnish the program. At the close Mr. Kelly wilf)cor!ductlthe audience in some community Sing- ing, such as he has been doing at the Municipal Pier. Omaha is not so large as Chicago, it is true, but we are large enough to have a Civic Music association, a city that can support a Tuesday Morning Musical club of 600 members, a Drama league of 700 and other clubs of like dimensions. .With such a club we could do upon a proportionate scale much of the same kind of work in the ’ same kind of way that the Civic Music association of Chicago does. True, also, we have not a municipal pier, such as the city of Chicago gave the Civic Music association the use of, but we have a Municipal Auditorium | and a whole lot of citizens from all walks of life who would enjoy com- munity “sings” just as much as the Chicagoans do. ’I,ust see how the peo- ple turn out for band concerts. Yet at a band concert they are only “op the bleachers,” as Karlton Hackett would say. They are not really taking part. With a real live Civic Music club in Omaha, with the right people at the helm, there is no limit to what could be accomplished, not only in a musical way, but in com- munity uplift as well. And this club might also co-operate with other clubs and with the city in its activities, The city has already shown interest along these lines by what has been donetin the parks and with municipal beaches this summer. Why not get.. busy and have one right away. e Echoes of the Ellis Opera company are still reverberating around musi- cal circles. Farrar, with her thought- less, heartless, fascinating, yet not vulgar conception of the character of Carmen, apd her splendid acting; Muratore, with his wonderful and well trained voice, his artistry and his dra- matic ability, which lifted the role of Don Jose away above that of any other we have ever witnessed; the sweet Helen Stanley, so consistent in the part of Micaela, and so blessed with vocal gifts, and the thorough- ly great Louise Homer, who thrilled maha_as it is not given to many to do, and consequently received a deserved ovation, all of these magnifi- cent artists are still being discussed and revelled in by the musical en- thusiasts. With sdch an orchestra, chorus and ballet, suclrprincipals, an such a master mind directing, the vivid memories of the event will long remain. It was interesting to feel how the melodies of “Il Travatore,” the poor hackneyed, abused and worn melodies, which every hand organ and me- chanical machine, from the earliest memoties of our youth have ground to pieces, lived with all their freshness and glowing charm under the magic touch of Maestro Campanini and his orchestra. “Il Trovatore” has been played in Omaha before, but we must needs agree with the musical friend who said, “I have seen ‘Il Trevatore’ before, but I have never really seen ‘Il Trovatore’ until last Tu:sd\ay night.” e In the review of the opera “Car- men” in The Bee Tuesday we were _ accredited with saying, in speaking of Muratore “The dramatic ostensity of the booklet fairly took one’s breath away.” Something fairly did ours when we read that sentence. What we really had written was “His drav: matic intensity in the last act, etc. In typing we had left some out, so we scratched it and wrote the words in by hand, and that was too much for the printer. Two flattering friends thought the writer knew one more word than they did and looked up ostensity in the dictionary. —— Musical Notes, Sunday evening, October 29, at the West. minster Presbyterlan church, Twenty-ninth and Mason, at 7:30 there will be a spectal musical service, Miss Alice Mackenzie, mu- sical director.
