OMAHA DATLr BEE : SUNDAY , JULY 80 , 1890.
AMUSEMENTS. |
There was a marked contrast In the at
tendance at the two local thcatum which
wcro open lost week. The Boyd was well
filled nightly , while at both the Wednesday
and Saturday tnatlnco performances there
was hardly an available scat left In the the-
ntcr after the curtain went up. At the
( Trocadero the patronage was smaller than
It has cvor been since the theater
> was opened , which eeems to be proof
positive that Omaha people have had enough
vaudeville to last thorn for a time at least.
It la true that last week's bill at this play
house was n bad ono , about the very worst
that has over been offered there. However ,
last season at this time oven with bills In
which there was little or no more merit
than last week's the theater would be filled
nt each performance. Then people \\ere so
nnxloua lor vaudeville that they would
patronize almost anything , while now It
must bo of the very best In this line before
It will attract them In any numbers. Local
playhouse attendants seem to bo Juist get
ting ro-acqualnted with the Woodward Stock
company and the nature of Its productions ,
which , however , are so much bettor than
those offered by the pamo organization at
the Crelffhton last summer that there
can ho no comparison made. As a result
each succeeding engagement shows a marked
increase. During the cool evenings ot last
week thcro were but few unoccupied scats
In the auditorium , which would deem to In
dicate that with cool weather and a con
tinuation of such splendid productions as
this company h.is been giving since Us re
turn to Omaha three weeks ago people would
tie turned away nightly.
"Charley's Aunt , " which was the offering
nt Boyd's last week , llko "The Wife" and
"Tho Girl I Loft Behind Me , " was first pro-
rented In Omaha by a Frohmnn company ,
and thus theater-coors hero were given a
nplcndld opportunity of comparing the work
of the Woodward company aad tha' of Mr.
1'rohraan'a. To some people the Idea of
oven comparing a stock company , that has
practically only a week In which to prepare
for a production , with a company that takes
months to do the same thine and ono that
keeps up In a piece by playing It every day
may seem preposterous , but the majority
of the regular attendants at the playhouses
who witnessed last week's production of
"Charley's Aunt" by the Woodward com
pany wcro almost unanimous In bay
ing that with the exception ot a slight lack
ot sureness of lines upon the part of ono
or two members of the company during the
first cart of the week the piece was made
ns enjoyable as when presented here by the
original company. In many respects the
work of Hal Davis In the part of Lord
Faucourt Babberly was much more enjoyable
than that of Etlenno Glrardoux , who first
created the part. It seems , ho-wever. to
matter little Just what Dart Mr. Davis es
says In a piece , for his happy , pleasing per
sonality always seems to carry him through
nnd he rarely ever falls to make a decided
lilt rwtth his audiences. James Fulton's portrayal -
trayal of the character of Sir Francis Ches-
ney comes In for as much praise as Mr.
Davis' Babborly. In make-up , actions and
reading of lines Mr. Fulton was as nearly
n. perfect old English aristocrat as Is over
seen upon the stage. Ho made the character
one of the admirable studies of the piece.
As the two English college chums Harry
Uoresford and Walter Green made the parts
Tory enjoyable. Mr. Greene , however , was
eom'ewhat handicapped 'by ' being cast in a
part that was quite out of his line. As a
portrayer of heavy parts Mr. Green has few
equals In the stock company business , but
when It comas to light comedy or straight
parts ho Is at a disadvantage. The part ot
Jack Ohcsney , which ho had In "Charley's
lAunt , " Is ono of the longest In the play
nnd likewise ono of the most thankless ,
I there being but few opportunities In It for
any actor to make a showing. Mr. Beres-
ford was decidedly at homo In his part of
Charley Wykeham , an Oxford student. Ho
Jg nn Englishman by birth and made the
part , which Is a rather small ono , stand
out with brilliancy. Will Davis as Stephen
Spottlgue , a crusty old Englishman , made
more of lils part than any In which ho has
( been seen during the present engagement.
Air. Davis is unfortunate in possessing a
volco suitable to but few parts , but when
ho Is cast In ono of these ho makes the
most of his scenes and situations and does
not fall to leave a favorable impression.
Mr. Enos as Brassott , a servant , presented
ono of the best character bits of the piece ,
although It was a comparatively short ono.
The different parts allotted to the femi
nine portion of the company were all rather
small , ibut In each case- well done. Miss
Berkeley made a dignified , stylish Donna
Lucia d'Havadoroz , Miss Kennark a charm
ing Ela Delahay , and Misses Dunn and Nlblo
sweet young misses In love with the college
boys. The ladles' costumes came In for
considerable attention , especially the stylish
now evening gown worn by Miss Berkeley ,
which was ono of the most stunning and
effective that has been seen upon the local
stage. Miss Konnark's pure whlto evening
gown also came In for much admiration by
the ladles who saw It. "Northern Lights , "
which Is to bo this week's offering , has
never been seen In thla city. It
was qulto a success In the cast and , as the
Woodward company promises to stage It
elaborately , It should bo a big drawing card
during the week.
Last week was the closing one of
vaudeville at the Trocadero theater , which
will bo closed until August 6 , when the now
Trocadero Comic Opera company will re
open It with a production of Stahl's "Said
Pasha. " The company , which Includes some
well known people In the operatic line , will
orrlvo In the city from Chicago Tuesday
morning and will commence rehearsing for
the opera at once. Nearly all of the
principals , and chorus of the new com-
jany have been recruited from the
ranks of the Castle 6quaro Opera company ,
which closed a season ot sixteen weeks nt
tha Studebaker theater in Chicago last night.
Miss Elolso Mortimer , who Is to bo
the leading prlma donna soprano , was
the Jato Emma Abbott's understudy
and has since been tinder the manage
ment of Robert Grau , America's loading
operatic promoter. Miss Mortimer has a
repertoire of over seventy different operas ,
in any of which she Is capable of singing the
leading part with a week's rehearsal. She
Is said to possess a full resonant soprano
Yolco with an upper register that Is per
fect. She is a beautiful as well as talented
woman and should become a favorite with
music lovers tiero.
Harry Davis , the leading tenor , has occu
pied a llko position with the Castle Square
company during their Chicago engagement.
Before that he was connected with the Grau
Opera company.
Arthur Evans , the second tenor , la another
Castle Square recruit. His voice Is said to
be fully as good as that of Mr. Davis.
Maurice Hagorman , the principal comedian
nnd stage director , has had a wide and varied
experience In the operatic line , having been
connected during the last twenty-live years
with the Emma Jucb , Calhoun , Conrctd , Me-
Caull , Caatlo Square and other standard
j companies ,
Tha leading baritone parts will be sung by
1 O , Byron Drown end William Rlley Hatch.
The former has been leading tenor with 011-
bert & SuUIvan'a Opera company , as well as
I IVOyloy Carte's London company , while the
latter will be remembered by local music
lovers as having appeared hero with Camilla
d'Arvlllo ns leading baritone In "Klsniet. "
Ho U very handsome , with floe stage pres
ence and a voice that Is said to be remark
able.
able.Kelllo
Kelllo Hartfey , the lending contralto , was
for several seasons Jcsslo Dartlett Davis'
understudy with the Bostonlana , which In It
self Is n sufficient recommendation as to
her Ability.
Alice James and nthel Vane , the second
prlma donna sopranos , as well as A. W.
Collins , the leading basso , are from the
Castle Square company. The latter was for
several seasons , how over , with tbo Dostonl-
ans as understudy for Eugene Cowles. Es-
pcclaf attention Is to be paid to the costum
ing and scenic effects of the opera and In
this line Manager Cole promises a big sur
prise. The company numbers exactly forty
people , ten principals , a mnlo chorue of
twelve and eighteen beautiful , shapely and
well-voiced young women for the feminine
portion of the chorus. This venture upon
the part of the Trocadero management should
prove a decided success , as the comic opera
field here has been sadly neglected ot late
years.
CoinliiK Krcntn ,
A now production will be made at the Boyd
this week , when the Woodward company will
present , for the first time here , Barbour &
Harklns' romantic military drama , "North
ern Lights. " The play Is similar In setting
and theme to "Tho Girl I left Behind Mo"
and the management believes that It will bo
equally popular with Its patrons. The scenes
nnd Incidents relate to the campaign of
General Crook against Sitting Bull and his
followers In 1876 , which campaign led up
to the Custcr massacre. Thcro Is no nt-
temlpt to make a great comprehensive play
of military operations , but there la said to
be a successful presentation of the llfo In
cident to a frontier post , surrounded by hos
tile Indians , the dramatic situation of which
Is the rescue of the besieged soldiers and
women by reinforcements from General
Crook's command. This eceno has been elab
orately staged , and as a dozen horses will bo
used In the cavalry dash , It should be real
istic , to say the least.
But aside from the military features , the
Indian Ufa and the plcturesquencss of
the northwest , there Is a strong domestic
story to claim the attention of the nudlonco.
Sidney Sherwood , chief surgeon , has two
wives , and being a studious scientist and
a successful experimenter with poisons and
virus , ho tries to do away with ono of these
women , but his plans are frustrated by hla
assistant eurceon , .Tohn Swlftwlnd , a half-
breed , educated Indian , who , after watching
some of the practices of civilized llfo , re
turns to his tribe and to their nomadic ex
istence. Both of these characters , which will
bo played by Mr. Enos and Mr. Granger , re
spectively , are said to be very strone , but
there are other good parts , the women char
acters bolns especially strong , considering
the environment. Miss Illchmond will be
seen as the Indian clrl , Miss Berkeley will
have n eood role. Miss Dunn will be espe
cially well placed and Miss Kennark will
have a part she played In the original pro
duction.
Following "Northern Lights" the Wood
ward company will be seen In "Captain
Racket , " which should prove a very strong
bill.
During the present week the Trocadero
theater will bo closed In order to nUow re
hearsals of the new Trocadero Comic Opera
Stock company to bo held dally and also to
cnablo changes to "be " made In the stage and
scenery preparatory to the reopening of the
theater on Sunday evening , August 6 , when
Stahl's picturesque comic opera , "Said
Pasha , " will be produced. During the week ,
however , the cozy little concert garden will
bo open each evening and free concerts will
bo given by Prof. Frank Lorenz's orchee-
tra from 7 until 12'p. m. Mr. Lorenz's or
chestra has been , enlarged to a size suitable
for comic opera and after this week will ,
under the able direction ot that gentleman ,
furnish the music for all of the operatic
productions at the Trocadero. There are few ,
1 ? any , of the members of this musical or
ganization that are not soloists and capable
of playing the most dlfflcult classical solos
upon their respective Instruments.

FIorlilu'H Surfeit cif Melon * .
This section of Florida has beaten all
previous records In producing melons , re
ports the Jacksonville Metropolis. Never
before has thcro been so many and so large
and well flavored. This season , which was
tuoucht not favorable to the crowth ot
melons , was somewhat deceiving , as the
result shows. It could not have been better
More melons have hecn gr"own in the state
this season thnn can bo either shipped or
consumed. Many tralnloads have been ,
carried out and sold at small profit , and to
day the largest and finest of melons , fresh j
from the farms , are sold hero at retail at G
to 10 cents each. Farmers In this vicinity
report thousands still In the field , and of
the best varieties , but ns the markets nre
glutted few will bother to gather and ship
any more. It Is stated as a fact by
physicians nnd others hero that thcro are
a number of families , mostly * colored , who
subsist almost entirely on melons , very little
of the ordinary food being eaten. Some of
the poor people contend that the cheapness
of melons enables them to live better thnn
usual. It Is said a good melon will hurt no
one , but It Is the opinion of many that to
subsist entirely upon them will cause sick
ness chills and fever.
MUSIC.
The Musical Dictionary will now eoon bo
ready for the first Issue In volume form. It
Is exnectcd that the first Issue will bo sold
out before an hour's time has elapsed. The
book , It will be remembered , will cost $10
unless paid In advance , when It can bo had
for BO cents , quite a discount , thinks the
management. And each lady buying the
dictionary will receive a special vacation
trip to Europe and back and every man who
purchases ono will bo given a beautiful homo
with lawn mower and garden hose thrown
In.
Accompaniment Formerly this word
meant to go with a person , that Is , to bo In
harmony with one , but now It often means
to go against a person , to bo out of har
mony with ono. An accompaniment used to
mean a support to a solo , by means of which
the soloist was given prominence by the
musical background or accompaniment. Mod
ern pianists , many of them , prefer to make
the accompaniment a solo with vocal ob-
llgato ( for obligate see pages 1C and 17 , Mu
sical Dictionary ) and In many cases they
deem to attempt a wholesale extermination
of the solo.
Chord There are many kinds of chords
and each chord lias Its own peculiar sound.
Thcro Is a distinct Individuality about chords ,
although some person's ears cannot detect It ,
na General Grant used to say , "All chords
look alike to mo. " Chords are divided and
subdivided as follows : Chord , discord , con
cord , record , accord , encored , bellcord , and
there was ono other chord also , but Ade
laide Proctor and Sir Arthur Sullivan by
some mishap lest It and hence that beautiful
musical selection , "Tho Lost Chord. " A
good example of a piece ot musical cord , so
to speak , would be that hymn which Is BO
often sung at assemblies and Is entitled
"Blest bo the Tlo That Binds. " The reason
why this Is sung before great meetings like
conferences , Chatauquas , etc. , break up Is
: hat memories have been entwined , and
.wlno Is a good thins to tie to , or rather
to bind with. Mendelssohn wrote a wed
ding march especially , and the chords are
beautiful In that march ; It Is used for
tying fhe nuptial knot. Speaking of knots ,
ono may use the term In connection with
wood as ho would likewise use the term
a cord of wood , but those knots and cords
tiavo nothing to do with music. A bell cord
Is used on street care , but It has nothing
whatever to do with matrimony , even If
there Is a ring al the end of It. Adam
asked Eve ono day why a bell cord was
llko a politician , and when Eve gave It up ,
the sly and ungrateful old chap , who
afterward Warned her for the apple episode
and said "She done It ! " thereby using bad
grammar and shocking Dr. Johnscn , who
was up In one of the trees talking with
Darwin this Adam said , "Because It has
a .pull. "
Movement Something which musical
critics use to describe the swing or tempo
of a piece. They speak of a slow move
ment , a fast movement , an allegro move
ment , etc. , but this has nothing to do with
a Waltham movement , which Is also used
In regard to time. Waltham movements
have a busy life ; they are always on watch.
The movement of a piece Is what moves
people. A march will move them to pro
ceed quickly ; a waltz will move them to
tread the light fantastic , a rag-time "coon"
song will move them to trip the dark fan
tastic and a funeral inarch will move them
to walk slowly , while there are other kinds
of music which will move them to seek
a premature and self-made grave. Slnco
street bands of a strolling nature have be
come so prevalent suicides have Increased.
Music Is the poetry of motion In some ways
and when a .musician cannot pay rent his
best friend Is a movement. It Is cheaper
anyway. Some music will deeply move
people In a concert hall and other music
will move people out of a concert hall , eo
that It is easily seen how very Important
the word movement Is In a musical dic
tionary. THOMAS J. KELLY.
STALl/IOXS / FIGHT A DUE ! , .
Cniiilint Hetwcrii Two AVI1 1 Ilornca on
UK ; I'lnliiH of Tlillirt.
William Jameson Reid , who spent several
years in exploring China and Thibet , gives
the following account of the wild horses of
Thibet in his book , "Through Unexplored
Asia , " which is to bo published shortly :
"Wild horses , called by the Sifaneso
dzerllkadu , are very numerous In the coun
try to the eastward of Sukul at the base of
the mountain ranges. They are generally
In largo herds , very shy and when fright
ened continue .their flight for days. They
are never hunted owing to the difficulties
of the chase , tout are captured by strong
nooses attached to sunken stakes distributed
In the districts which they are known to
frequent , In this manner Insuring their cap
ture without Injury. These horses usually
roam over the country In groups of fifty to
100. Each lot of mares Is led by a stal
lion , the size of whoso family depends on
his ago , strength and courage , his Individual
qualities keeping the herd together. Over
this he maintains the most strict watch
fulness , for If he descries Intruders from
other herds In bis ranks he rushes to the
encounter and tries In every way , by biting
and kicking , to drive them off.
"Long before reaching this country wo
had been entertained by numerous narra
tives of a more or less nebulous character
concerning the almost human characteris
tics of these animals , In which stories wo
had placed no more faith than In those
usually told by 'the ' natives. The head man
of Sukul , wo had Immediately concluded ,
was no better than his followers , for ho
told such astonishing tales of the doings
of his equine nation that we momentarily
expected he would tell of cities , forts and
houses built by them. Wo were all the
more surprised , therefore , when , on the sec
ond' day , he came to us with the assertion
that If we were still Incredulous he was
ready and willing to put proof to the test ,
as Eoveral of his hunters had reported a
number of herds In 'tho valley plain to the
southward.
'Wbout 10 o'clock , as shivering with the
almost Arctic coolness of the weather wo
wore making the futile efforts to keep warm
and cursing our stupidity In coming to verify
fairy tales , we wore aroused to action by an
ominous stir among our ponies , who were
straining at their tethers and whimpering
nervously. A few minutes later a weird ,
shrieking howl , as of some soul In dire dlo-
trebs , floated through the air , sounding near
at hand and yet far removed , Following the
guide , wo mounted to a little Jutting crag
overlooking the "broad " plain which stretched
away for mllea from the foot of the broad
plateau and there , Indeed , saw a sight which
almost beggared description. The broad ex
panse , lighted by the new moon , which
rendered the surrounding country almost as
luminous as day , was fllle4 with herds upon
herds of horses of every size , color and de
scription. For several momenta wo were
dumbfounded at a eight so ihrllllns and awe. .
Inspiring , n vaof , surging mass of living ,
breathing animals busily cngage.l In feeding
on the luxuriant grass of the valley. Sul-
dcnly upon the night air resounded a blood
curdling neigh as clear as a bugle call and
Immediately the herd stopped feeding and
stood with heads erect , ns a mighty army at
the call of Its leader.Another prolonged
neigh , pitched In a somewhat higher key ,
and , llko a whirlwind , the whole herd boltel
up the valley , as orderly and regularly as
the flncwt disciplined army , with three or
four , which seemed to bo the leaders , sym
metrically arranged ahead of the main
body and flanking and rear detachments
posted with studious exactness.
"On reaching the head of the plain once
more they came to a halt and grazing was
resumed. Our attention had been so drawn
In following the action of this herd that
wo had not noticed that another fully RS
largo had come from far down the valley
and had Installed themselves on the feed
ing ground Just vacated. The scene In
front was now air-engaging ; cold and fa
tigue were alike forgotten In the enthralling ;
Interest of the moment. For half an hour
both herds cropped the short grass In
silence , when a shrill iiolgh from the group
nearest to us attracted our attention In their
direction. They had all stopped feeding and
stood restless and fearful , as If detecting the
approach of the terrible enemy. Suddenly !
from out the compactly gathered mass sprang '
a gigantic stallion , who , after pawing the
earth and meanwhile neighing fiercely , pro
ceeded at a galtop a full half mile up the
valley , stopping every few hundred feet to
repeat 4ils bellicose neighing.
"Following his movements we now saw
that another animal was galloping down In
a similar manner from the other herd ,
doubtless to accept the challenge. The newcomer - j
comer was a magnificent snow-whlto and
with the clear light of the moon shining
upon him he presented a gigantic appear
ance when contrasted with his smaller an
tagonist. When within a quarter of a mile
ot each other the two beasts came to an
other halt and stood facing their respective
herds , pawing the ground and neighing
flrcoiy and bending their shapely necks
much In the manner of two actors In sword
combat making the preliminary flourish pre
vious to deadly action.
"To describe the events of the next ton
minutes would require pages of hyperbole
to give In any measure a faint idea of the
herculean struggle between two giants.
They rushed at each other time and time
again llko immense catapults ; they fought
with tooth and hoof while no other sound
could bo heard the two herds , who had
meanwhile approached nearer to the strug
gle , gazing on their leaders as If carved In
stone. Ono would have had to be within a
few feet of the titanic combat to describe
accurately the events of that short quarter
of an hour. The two beasts could be seen
rearing In the air , locked together like two
wrestlers , their teeth tearing each other
and tholr great hoofa relentlessly kicking
in all directions with the force of pile-
drivers. Both onlmals wore tiring percep
tibly , when In an Instant all was over. A 1
sharp rally and then the ghostly form ot
the big white stallion rose alone and on the
ground lay the prostrate body of his an
tagonist. The victor contented himself with
Riving utterance to short , exultant neighs
and over and anon kicking the body of his
defeated foe.
"Wo had seen the great equine duel , but
wo little know what was yet In store for us.
Soon there was n movement In both herds
and with the same military promptness as
wo had witnessed before , with the mares
and colts In the center , the two bodies
formed and without the least warning or
signal rushed at each other. It seemed as
If the very heavens wcro falling In. The
din and crash as they awept togther , even
at our long distance , was terrlflc and In
the clear moonlight could bo seen the
rolllnc mass of contestants surging llko a
huco wave over the plain. At the end of
ten minutes , and as suddenly as It had
commenced the battle terminated and the
two herds slowly separated. We could now
I eeo some of the results of the awful conflict ,
, for. scattered here and there all over the
t > laln were the forms of those who had fal
len In the sanguinary conflict. "
Itnclnl ItcturlH.
When the city councils of PIttsburg paid
their annual visit to the munctpal poor farm
the other day there were Included In the
party a German and an Irishman who are
great friends , but between whom a sharp
line Is drawn In the matter of nationality.
Going through the home department , the
German , with just a suspicion ot race preju
dice , remarked :
"I notice that these people are nearly all
Irish. "
"So they are , " the Irishman said ; "but
wait till we get over Into the crazy house ;
that's where they keep the Dutch. "
, They entered the Insane department Just
as an Inmate who Imagines he Is a great
orator was making a speech In German.
"What did I toll you ? " asked the Irish-
man.
"Oh , well , " replied the Gorman , "you
can't go crazy If you haven't got brains. "
