THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STTXDAY , AUGUST 21 , 1808. + * * * * * + * + * * + * * + * + * + * + * * * * | AMUSEMENTS. j * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 5 After a. reason ot darkness much longer than anticipated when the Boyd closed for < lic season , the doors of the house wilt bo thrown open again to the public tomorrow c\cnlng. It Is not the beginning of the regular bookings for the year , but the latter will follow on without nny break. When the house closed last spring It was the In tention to open it for an onRURfment of light opera , commencing the latter part ot July , but ono delay followed another , and It was not until a week ago that the contract was closed with the Dorothy Morton com * pany , which was just concluding a sum mer etiBaBCincnt nt Uhrlg's , St. Louis. The company has a repertory sufficiently larso to put on two operas a week during the three weeks' cngaRcment , and with the other omuBemcnt placrs now running In the city nhould be able to furnish Omaha people ple with variety enough to satisfy all kinds of tastes. Several of the leading members of the company have previously been seen in this city , Including the star , though not during the past season , and arc pleasantly remembered. The reorganization of th'J Woodward Block company for the season , which com mences Sunday , September 11 , has been nccompllslipd. With the week proceeding that date Miss Kcnnark will conclude her engagement at the house and return to Baltimore. The company will continue to occupy the CrelRhton and the traveling at tractions will all go to the Doyd , aa during the past season. The departure of Miss Kcnnark will bo generally regretted , though unavoidable. She Is a hard work ing , painstaking and capable actreds and lias won many friends here. The manage ment arc confident , however , that In the new leading lady , Miss Bertha Crelghton , they have ono thoroughly capable of main taining the standard of the company. She IB by no means a stranger to Omaha , hav ing played hero before , the last time as a member of Sol Smith Russell's company. She has also been connected In leading roles with a number ot strong organizations , and judging by her past shall make an exceptionable leading lady. Frederick Montague , who came hero origi nally to fill out the remainder of the season us loading man after Mr. Salisbury , made a failure of the attempt , has proven so ac ceptable that It has been decided to retain him for the coming season. His work here epeaks for Itself. Ho has succeeded BO far in satisfying the patrons ot the house , and there is no reason why he should not con tinue to do so. Another new face In the company will be Frank Llnclon , whose specialty Is "old man" parts , though ho has done creditable work in other roles. This has been the weakest point In the stock company heretofore , but it Is confidently believed that It will bo so no more. Other now faces In the company -will bo Grace Fox , who comes from an Albany stock company ; Lettio Allen , from Chicago ; De Witt Clinton , from Baltimore and Little CVIarle Snowdcn for juvenile parts. The com ing season will also sec the return o.f Miss Emma Dunn , who so successfully assumed ingenue roles In the company last season , but has not been with the company for come time. Of the present organization there will re main Wllsou Enos , Will Davis , Hal Davis , Walter Greene , Harry Long and Mlas Ger trude Berkeley. The last week the theaters of Omaha have continued to prosper. A variety of weather , both hot and cold , seemed to make no per- clptlblo difference. The Increasing num ber of oxposttlon visitors Is doubtless re sponsible for the increased patronage , but it Is doubtless largely duo to the fact that people's fancies turn to the theater at this tlmo of the year just as naturally as the young man's fancies are apt to bo captivated by cupId's charms In the spring. The Crelghton during the week presented "Captain Swift" whose last previous ap pearance In the city was several years ago. It Is a play In which the Interest is most thoroughly sustained from the rising of the curtain until It falls on the closing scene , presenting numerous stirring climaxes and etlrrlnc scenes and both the play and ite presentation by the Woodward Stock com pany furnish ample proof that vlolenl declamation Is not an essential to the crea tion of stirring scenes , but Is used more often for the same purpose as n bass drum In an amatuer band to drown the discord : of the less resonant instruments. The plaj was happily cast In most respects , thougt the part assigned Miss Berkely was probablj the least suited to hei * ot anything she has essayed for a long time , but such things must always be In stock companies pre senting a wide range of plays. The Trocadero during the last week pre eentcd on the whole a much stronger bll than on the preceding week , ' holdln over one feature and that decidedly cleve ot Its kind the Arab gun spinner. How nrd's comedy ponies were probably the moa attractive number. Acts of this kind alway take If good and these are certainly cntl tied to rankIn that class , Zayarra , th equilibrist , is easily the most clever pel pormer on the big wooden ball ever seer in the city. His balancing on such an un etable object is simply wonderful. Horwlt and Bowers , travesty stars , are exceptional ! clover , but it Is doubtful which was th greater hit , the travesty portion ot the ! net , or the pittno playing of Horwltz. Fred crick brothers and Tenney manage to ml In considerable fun with a quantity of goo music. The other numbers on the progran while nothing1 superlative , were not provol atlvo ot any tired feeling. Announcement ! . Commencing with the matinee today th Woodward Stock company will present H Maurer's great play , "Trilby. " This Is 11 doubt the greatest effort yet made by th company for popular favor nud is an ur dertaklng of magnitude. "Trilby" has bee presented numerous times In Omaha by tt road companies , but there are thousands i pcoplo In Omaha who have never seen I The part of Gecko will be played by M Franz Adelmann , who has never been ESC on the local stage , although ho has had c : pericnce in Germany In this line of wor : Mr. Adelmann Is well qualified for the pa ot Gecko In point ot slzo and tempcramei and his natural speech will bo BO' near th ; required by the part ns to malco him mo fitted for It. His knowledge of the vloll will also be displayed to advantage. Ml Kcnnard will play Trilby , a part which si Trill no doubt do well. Mr. Moutaguo wl play Svengall and the balance ot the ca will bo seen to the best of their ability the supporting parts. Next Sunday Wlllla Glllet's comedy drama , "Esmeralda. " Boyd's theater will be opened tomorro evening by tbo Dorothy Morton Opera coo pany In "Glrollo-Glrofla. " The star of tl organization is somewhat ot a stranger , Omaha her last appearance here being se eral seasons ago when she eang the prln donna roles with Frank Daniels in "Tl Wizard of the Nile. " In the east , howevc where she has been recently dividing'b time between playing In her owu compai and with Augustln Daly's "Geisha" con pany. she has come to bo looked upon i one of the moat competent of prtmu donna cither of the Imported or domeatlc varlet She U a native ot St. Louis , by the wa and comes directly from that city to Oman For the last ten weeki she and her con pany have been the attraction ot UUVis' Cave , a fnct which nhould recommend the organization as ono of merit , not to say In- cuilng a finished performance of whatever wtrW may be undertaken. Tfc selection of Lecoq's tuneful opera , "Olroic-Olrolla , " for her debut as a star In Oniahft was Miss Morton's choice , partly be cause of her signal success In the opera In Chicago and St. Louts and partly because of the opportunities It has for displaying the Individual abilities of her support and the combined cblllty of her chorus. The com pany comprises In Its make-up Hubert Wllke , well known as the leading baritone with the Lillian Russell and Dlgby Bell companies and Klaw & Erlanger's musical attractions ; William Stephens and Edward Webb , tenors ; Fred Frcar , comedian and late star of "The Tar and Tartar" company ; Charles Drew , comedian , who will be re membered from hlu own company , which played In Omaha a few years ago ; Marie Dell , who joined Miss Morton nt the con clusion of a successful tour at the head ol her own company ; Miss Sylvester Cornish , Iltta Harrington , Marlon Rae and others. The Trocadcro management at today's mattneo and all the week will offer one of their famous vaudeville bills , the roster ol which contains tome of the stclter lights ol this branch of the profession and Its gen eral mnlte up will be ono of the Trocadcro's cat bills. Billy Van , the only laugh pro- ucer within the large retinue of minstrel omcdlans , will head the bill.with the foi- owing well known features : Miss Florence IncKnlght , dramatic soprano , now en route vcr the Orpheum circuit ; Scott and Wtl- on , the acknowledged leaders In acrobatic omedy ; Lotto , a premier equilibrist and and balancer ; Lee and Adalr , original ketch artists , In their latest craze , "Whj ones Came Back ; " Miss Josephine Harvey , je world's foremost trotnbouo sollst , late leading feature with all the large circuses , [ or playing and execution upon this Intrl- ate Instrument has won a distinction foi ler that Is famous the world over.

Suet performances as offered by Manager Cole ai this popular place ot amusement are wbal ho Omaha public have been craving foi cars and now just patronage should en ourage the enterprise. Usual matinees wll ie given on Sundays , Wednesdays and Sat' irdays. Miss Fannie Frankol , who 1ms been de- Ighttng the audiences at Schlltz roof gar- en , has been re-engaged for thla week. Among the many original and novel fcati hlch will be visible In Buffalo Hill's Wll < 3 Vest , hero on August 30 and 31 , those ol hclk Had ] Tahar's troupe of fanatic and vlld Arabs have attracted much attentloi ml favorable comment. These doaert-borr omnds are not only fierce and flaring horse men , but athletes and tumblers ot vcr ; mlque and extraordinary strength and upplcness. In their gymnastic drill the ) whirl and manipulate their long guns wltt Imost the rapidity ot chain lightning They perform acts of head to head balancing , ml carrying seemingly miracles ol qulllbrtsm , and requiring necks of Iron. A Samcon among them sustains the wholi weight of nine others In pyramidal thape uilt with the agility ot cats. They whir n singular cart-wheels the whole lengtl if the big arena at foot-racing speed , rut about on their hands as If they were feet urn high spreads and side somersaulti ver bayonets and swords , and Introduce many other wonderfully unique feats.

AlonK the Midway. Unlike other expositions , where th 'amous ' Midway has had Its ups and down ! t can be truthfully said that with the ex ceptlon of a very few days so evenly In erspersed during June and July that 1 was hardly notlceabl * there never has b.ei at any exposition a more prosperous , a nor encouraging and a more successful perlo 'rom ' the start than at the "Trangtnlsals slppl. " Some few Inexperienced showmet who have embarked ID wild visionary enter irises , probably thinking they'could "foe .he people. " have had their bltsa Monday and succumbed. Even In thin , howevei there has been but two or three Instance where they started In on nothing and th good days and good people did not come jut at the right time to enable them to pay tb carpenter and lumberman. Such adventur ers In the show business should always kee uppermost In mind the old adage , which I a , good one , that "You can fool some c the people part of the time" and "all th people come of the time , " but you cannc fool "all the people all the time. " For thl very reason there has been but few "fake shows started and none a's yet succeeded c the "TransrnlsslsBlppl. " That the Mlflwa Is going to bo a grand success In point good shows , financially and otherwise , tb last week has amply Indicated. Those wh have invested their money In good prooos tlons and not as yet had satisfactory returt need only go for consolation to come of tb old-time and experienced showmen llh Plerson ot the ostrich farm , Bostock < Hnggenbnck's , Roltalrs ot the Maine , Qrll flth ot the Scenic Railway , Morris i "Trilby , " Oaston A. Konn ot "All Nations , Turpru ot Cycloraraa and many others , an If they arc not satisfied with their pn diction of the already started coming BUI cess , they can easily get their investe money back. Schlltz' pavilion nt the junction of Twei tleth and West Midway is headquarters fc the lovers of good music and good llvtni Fritz Mueller has many friends both In ao out ot the city who are constantly comln to the exposition and make themselves i home at his place. The garden annex I the main pavilion Is fast becoming populc as a family resort. Here good singing an Instrumental music can bo heard whl ! lunching and dining , The Chinese theater Is constantly chant Ing its attractions. The old maglclai Chlng-Llng-Foo , introduces something ne every day. His celebrated trick ot pri duclng a large bowl of water from nothlt continues to be the sensational feature i the Midway. Wednesday evening he entei talned the Governor of Texas and his sta with a special performance , Introduclr some new and novel legerdemain never b < fore seen In this country. Hermann In h best days never equalled the work of Chlni Llng-Foo. The East Midway has experienced quli a busy week. The many attractions , i which the Moorish Village concessions ai largely In the majority , have had a harv i during the last five days. Mr. Jamleso : manager of the village , while not an "old showman but a thorough business maa- has a keen scent for the coming necess ties for the entertainment of the thousam to come , and has sufficiently "caught on to the showman's methods to not only gl\ some ot them "pointers , " but gets the pai In the direction ot constantly Inaugurating new Ideas , new attraction * and new people , which ho and his company can already con- ratulato themselves upon the good results , as la Illustrated In the new departure f the "Moorish Harem , " a first class show. lurdcned with a high price of admission It IQS been greatly poputarltcd by the timely siuance of Mr , Jamlcson's ardor for a re- uctlnn of the price of admission to 10 cent : nd has been thronged with visitors from ornlng until night over since , necessitating ie running of a continuous performance nd an Increase ot the seating capacity. Mr. amloson la contemplating decided change * t the "chutes , " which If Inaugurated will make It a very popular and busy place. Looming up on the north Bide of the West [ Idway , head and ohoaldrrs above the sur- oundlng buildings , Is icon the mammoth octagon-shaped building , the "Cyclorntna,1 ocstructed by Prof. Turpln for the purpose t displaying some of his handsome am ! neat costly reproductions of grand stcenerj K > th on land and water. Here can bo seer ie finest and most expansive reproduction ! t the battle between two of the most notet ronclada that ever floated upon the watcri urlng our civil war. The "Moorish Harem" Is enjoying quite s breeze" since the action of the new manage ment in reducing the price of admission rom 25 to 10 cents , the capacity of the plac < IBS been taxed to Its utmost. U Is the onlj how ot Its Idnd on the grounds. The won- erful Egyptian dancing girl , La Belle > cllka , here reigns supreme , entrancing the Id and young alike and kept busy during ic Intermissions refusing pressing request ! or Introductions ; also the burning of the eautlful woman , Haggard's "She , " Is wit- cased here amid wild exclamations ol ahs , " "sobs" and "tears. " The Japanese Tea Garden receives hun teds of visitors dally who are profuse Ii heir expressions ot kind treatment and tip ireclatloos ot the merits of the dellcacle served them In the customary style of thel atlon. It is a novelty to 00 per cent o be visitors. The "Flying Lady" continues to attrac arge crowds on the East Midway. TU question of how she navigates space with 'Ut ' "wings" or apparent support has no et been solved by the multitudes of dall ; Isltors to the village. It is certainly < most wonderful thing. The wonderful "Trilby" by Astley D. M tooper has been attracting crowds of or overs since the exhibition opened las Thursday evening. Nearly every one wh ias visited the exhibition pronounces I he most remarkable work of art they hav ver se n. The effect when ono first enter he room Is startling. The visitors thin hey are looking at a beautiful living mode ! The relief In so wonderful ; the * figure stand out just like life and seems to bo two o hroe feet from the canvass. The flesh tint ro said to have never been equalled There Is nothing at all suggestive about th picture and It Is charmingly refined an adits are lavish In their praise of It. N one should fall to see this great work , as description falls entirely to convey th lightest Idea ot Its grandeur. The Streets of All Nations Is above all ihow that does not require any more ad vertlslng ta long as the thousands of 11 visitors are every one of them a walkln advertisement to spread Its reputation an alk about the merits of this grand un iqualcd show. But once In awhile , wheneve a change of program has taken plac necessity is then obliged to have the publl nforaed of such a change. In fact tli change Is going to be simply In the natui of an addition to the show , because th management does not see fit to dlspcm with the old features that have been UK deserlbably favored by the public. The nc 'eatures ' will bo almost the entire show c Mr. Rodltl , proprietor of India in Cone Island , consisting of elephants , camels , Ji panese balancers and jugglers , acrobats an > yramlds , magicians and other new act hat have not yet been witnessed In th country. The brilltency and splendor chai acterlstlc of the Streets of All Nation ' owing to the style of its construction an the magnificence of Its richly furnished an decorated booths , to say nothing about tt costumes of the performers and people cot nected with the enterprise , are by then selves sufficient to credit the big show wit the reputation of being one of the be : shows on the exposition grounds. The Haeenback Trained Wild Anlmi Show has just closed one of the most sui cecsful weeks of the season. This entertati ment Is constantly growing in favor with U public and not without reason. New ac and features are being added every weel The two latent features being Prof. Agentoi champion roller skater of the world , recent ! returned from his European tour , intri duclng his new act of skating In a den i lions. Few people realize the daring ar courage displayed In this exhibition. Ii brings a remarkable act to a close by Illui tratlng a "human top , " making several hut dred revolutions a minute. The other fei ture is William. Jackson and his educate "Quagga. " Thla beautiful little animal dt plays his intelligence in numerous clevi tricks of balancing and pedestal mountln Both of these acts will be retained for t Indefinite time. This week will be mm memorable by the return of Matt Johns ; and his elephant "Jolly. " Everyone hi seen or heard of Jolly. He has just return ) from a western trip , where he scored decided hit. Lion Trainer Lewis was aga attacked last week by the lion "Emerson He la on the mend , however , and will I all right In a few days. The Ostrich Farm has a standing off < of money back if you want it , but so ft everybody has been pleased , and the rat Idly increailng attendance is largely dt to the fact that people visiting the farm t away singing Its praises to all their friend and neighbors. Admiral Dewey now welt used to bis harness ac the phaeton which Mr. Studi baker Is building for him will be ready t Monday or Tuesday , when a new feature wl be added to the already exciting program. The Great Wild West is giving hourl performances to good audiences. H is i the kind the people like and they go I large numbers.

Mr. Griffiths of the Scenic Hallway has icon making decided Improvements In the rack arid gearing of the cars during tbo > ast week while business was at Its best. le Is always looking to the safety and com- ort of his patrons. It Is really a treat to ake a ride on the Scenic road , then sit In he main pavilion or waiting station and Isten while lunching to the sweet strains of the Griffith Silver Cornet band con- tnntly playing day and evening for the pleasure of their guests and patrons. The "Birth of Our Nation , " on Twentieth trcet , near the West Midway , closed Its doors Friday evening. The place will bo oepned about the middle of the week as a cstaurant by Mr. Coates of the Dellono hotel. The Camera Obscura has changed hands and will soon present a now front nnd be mown by Its proper name , "The Passing Show.
