Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew , who have Just
Moscd nn oiienRomont at the Boyd thontcr ,
jtro n couple of young actors In whom there
Is on unusual ouWio interest. The husband
Is the son of MM. John Urow , ' who was recently
Jefferson's ' company
cently soon In Omaha with
pany In "Tho Hlvnli. " Mrs. Drew " not
only si fimous actress , hut she notable for
iiavlnp managed n Philadelphia theater for
The Mrs. Drew was
( thirty years. younger
Miss UlncJys Kan kin , daughter ot McKee
Uanklu. She was only 17 when she was mar
ried , several years ago , and had Just begun
bar atago career.
Both these young notors corao ot excellent
theatrical stock , and they also have a social
stnd'Hn ? which Ui'lngn thorn many flattering
Attentions wherever they go. Tholr devotion
to cacn other Is ldylllcnud It has won them a
personal admiration quite apart from their
professional work.
'When ' wo decided on our present von1
turo , " oald Mr. Drew , In conversation the
otbor day , "It bcciuno necessary to decide on
the method of using our names. Acting on
the advlco ot my mother , who recalled a
number of examples to enforce her argu
ments , wo determined to begin our careers as
stars unaor the UUo'of Mr. and Mrs. Drow.
It Is customary for married ladles on the
stage to retain tholr maiden names In ndvnr
tlalng and newspaper matter , the thcorv
bolnir that more men will be attracted to tholr
performances. I thlnlc I understand the ro
inantlo interest whlcb young men may con
ceive for single Indies on the stage , but I had
rather my wife should win her place In public
esteem on her merits as nn artiste. Our
friends advised us against this course , but
wo havo.no reason to regret It. It may bo
that wo are losing some business w'hlch
would como to us under the era system , but
on the other hand I think wo are building up
a solid respect among a substantial class of
people , and wo hope to realize the bcnollts of
it In the future.
"It is tnreo years slnco I was In Omaha ,
and I notlco wonderful Improvements oven In
teat abort time , l was altogether In the east
for several years until wo began this tour.
Some years neo I determined not to olay any
role unless I could originate It. I expected
opposition from managers , and was not dis
appointed. It may hnvo delayed my oppor
tunities for development in some directions ,
but there were compensating advnntagosand
I llually carried my point.
" \Vo USD a curtain raiser because 'That
Girl from Mexico' Is a llttlo short to till the
evening. Wo could malto It do by lengthen
ing the waits between the nets , but I have nn
idea that it mars tbo effect of u lively comoay
. to hnvo the continuity broken by long waits.
Wo first used 'Barbara. ' a delicate llttlo
I thing by Jerome 1C. Jerome , but it is too
\qulot and Is written above the heads ot the
, \ivoraRoaudlonco. You understand ! It had
no part for mo , and that , I think I can say
without egotism , was an objection. Hooplo
naturally have an interest In the stars of a
I play , and as I was not afraid of work
sought a curtain raiser that would
bettor please the publio and afford
roles for both my wlfo and my
self. 'In Honor Bound1 Is by Syaney
Grundy , has bright lines and leaches a pretty
sentiment of forgiveness. Omaha saw our
llrst publio performance of tt. "
John U Sullivan "distinguished himself
during his Omaha engagement by publicly
scoring the legal gentleman who act as
cntlo of one of the daily papers. On the
night of his second performance the cham
pion received n curtain call , and ho improved
the opportunity to make a speech , in which
ho mndo some very caustic remarks about
tbo courageous critic. In private conversa
tion ho took occasion to UPIIV many of the
stories circulated about him since going upon
the slope , and Itvas evident that ho for
sorro of thorn keenly. Ho denounced the
yarn about dcndncatlnt : his company's way
on a Kansas truln as a Ho tnado out o't whole
cloth. Ho denied the numerous reports o
drunken brawls , and as evidence of tholi
falsity assorted that ho hnd not missed a per-
fonnanco during the entire tour. Whllo In
Seattle Francis Murphv came to him and
asked him to sign the pledge. Sullivan re
fused say Ing :
' "You're playln' a good game , Mr. Murphv.
You stick to your craft and I'll tend to
mine. "
But it was announced In the papers the
next day that tbo champion had donned the
blue ribbon and would roako a speech that
evening at the Murphy mooting , uhlch was
hold nt a low dlvo. It attracted a crowd ,
but of course John L. was not thore.
The pugilistic actor Is especially Indlgnaut
at bis treatment by some reporters. Ho
charges that aftur Interviewing dim they at
tribute to him remarks that are not his and
bring ridicule upon ulm.
According to his manager bo has boon In
terviewed by men xvho wore not reporters
but assumed that guise In order
lo moot and talk with him.

THE TllK.lTKttli.
For this weak Hanlons' great spectacle ,
Fantastna , " will bo the attraction nt Boyd's
Now theater. Since last scon here two years
ago the ploco has boon changed to a great
xtont , so that it will scarcely bo recognized
as being the old "Fantasma. " There are a
very few attractions that can como to Omaha
nnd play a whole wcok to successful busi
ness , but "Fantasma" Is one at the few , as
lias boon evinced on two previous occasions.
This company opens at Bovd's Now theater
tonight ( Sunday ) , continuing till Saturday
night next , with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
W. T , Carloton's famous opera company
playing to popular prices Is a novel and in
teresting sight , and it Is only owing to tbo
energy nnd enterprise of Manager Burgess
that Omaha will have an opportunity to hear
a thoroughly first-class company at prices
which can bo reached by everybody. Be
ginning with Sunday matlnoo , March 0 , the
Carleton company will glvo ton performances
nt the Fornam Street theater ot the prin
cipal operas of the day , and at popular
prices , loo. Hitherto Carloton's prices have
always been $1.50 for the parquet , but this
time ho plays to the regular Fitruam Struct
thontor prices. The ropertolro will consist
of the latest Paris , London and Now York
.tuccoss , Strauss' "Inlgo , " for Sunday
matlnoo and evening. Mondav and Tuesday
nights , Wednesday matlnoo and Friday and
Saturday nights ; "Notion" Wednesday
night and Saturday matinco , and ' 'Erminin"
Thursday night. The sarno performances
will bo given by this excellent com
pany as wore given in all the
largo cities of the country and the same spe
cial sconcry will boused. Tbcso performances
bv the Carlcton company have received the
highest oralso from the press all over the
United States and the management promises
that no expense will DO spared to make thu
engagement a memorable ono to the music
loving population of Omaha. Scats will bo
placed on solo Thursday moraine next at 10
o'clock.
The "Now Fantasma" requires two car
loads of trick scenery and fifty people in the
cast. ' 'Fantasma , " as presented heretofore ,
has boon a very popular success with all
classes of theatergoers , but ns ofTcrcd this
season with all tbo wonderful Improvements
invented by those gonorotis caterers to tha
public taste the Hanlons durum thoiom-
inor months , the pleco roaches tbo
acme of perfection in stage art. Tuo
plcco has been entirely rewritten and
rearranged. It Is almost entirely a now pro
duction. The llrst act opens with" the "Hue's
KotroAt , " in which Hcgwrath , a diminutive
demon delivers his uu'ssngo from his master ,
Znmnliol , commanding the assistance of the
wltchos in his diabolical scheme to entrap
the fair Lena. Then follows n weird dunce ,
In which the most prominent feature visible
is the entanglement of arms of mammoth di
mensions , two pairs of which might easily
roach across the singe. In the next scene
the village homo of Lena Is Introduced 1'Ico ,
who Is always getting Into trouble of some
kind , and who , Indeed , tills all the comic
scenes In the pioco. His adventure with the
magic lamps , the animated gnto , and the
faUo stops are simply side splitting. The
Skeleton Pass , another clover piece of me
chanism , reveals u number of skeletons , into
whoso midst poor Pico has accidentally
fallen , and who make the most of bis pret
ence by resorting to all sorts of prunks ,
winding up with a prlzo Ik-lit for his
special delectation. The latter was capi
tally done , the positions nnd movements
of the arms having ovidoutly been arranged
DV some ono well up in the tactics of the
manly art. Following the skeleton scene a
dozen or moro bears appear and chase Pico
Into a log hut which tboy demolish , Icavlne
only the chimney standing , with Pico on toi
in a very awhwntd position until his cvcntfu
rescue by the good fairy Sorotm. The scene
ut the "Bottom of the Sou"tho great success
of last season , the Hanlons have rot lined ,
and much improved by the addition of now
comlo business. In the second act n ghostly
minuet , danced by knights and ladles , wus
very neatly executed nnd well merited the
nearly anpiaaao with which It was received
Probably the most striking and orlglna
scene In "Fantasma" 1s tlio "Grotto or the
Moglo Fountain , " a combination or bouutlfu
colors and handsome faces. A novnl feature *
in this scene , invented by the Hanlous , Is the
revolving tableaux. At a given signal nbou
thirty ladles on pedestals , including a foun
tain of statuesque figures are scon to revolve
noiselessly ; tbo affect Is extremely bcauti
fill.
Following "Fantasma" at Boyci's nox
week , como KfiUi Ellslor and company will
the veteran actor C. W. Couldock , "Ha/ol
Klrke" will bo the play. The onsatromeni is
for three nights , Sunday , Monday and Tuus
day , March U , 7 and B. For the remainder ol
the wcok the llostonlans will have thobourdi
of Boyd's , producing Do ICovon's pretty
opera "Kobin Hood , " and porbapt otivordl
others , although tl > o rcportolra has not yut
boon decided upon. The Bostonlaiis nro h'uv
Ing greater success this season than evoi
before , and are much t > trongur artistically.
The Dowllng-Hasson company will open a
week's engagement at the Farnum streo
theater , beginning with a matinee today
This will bo the tirst appearance of this
famous organization In Omaha , hut tlioj
como very strongly endorsed hy tuo press ol
St. Louis , Chicago , nnd several other of the
principal oltlos of the can , wlioro they uro
publicly known as the producers of iil'-1
class western dramas , having successfully
produced them for tbo past ton year * . They
will produoa tbolr two host plays hero
"Nobody's Claim" and "Tho Hod Spider. '
opening with the former and continuing
until Wednesday evening. "Nobody'a
