113 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE : STNDAY , SEPTEMBER 24 , 1809.
§ AMUSEMENTS. *
About the only events that attracted more
than ordinary Interest at any of the local
( boaters last week were the beautiful pro
duction of Bronson Howard's success of ten
years ago , "Shenandoah , " given at Boyd'a
the first half of the week , and the debut , In
vaudeville , ot a well kn"\\n young Omaha
woman at the Orphcum , Wednesday night.
"Shcnandonli" has been frequently pro-
ecntcd in this city during the last ten years ,
but never before was it given such a truly
magnificent production as that scon hero
last week. It Is cno of the prettiest nnd
test constructed co-called military dramas
of the century. Its author , thinking that It
Oiftd outlived Its popularity , shelved It some
ncoflona ago. However , phortly after the
opening of the late war with Spain , Jacob
Lltt saw a splendid opportunity fcr the repe
tition of Its former success and produced It
In both Chicago and Now York , elaborating
upon the scenario , thus adding new luster
to the piece. In both cltlca It enjoyed an
entire season's run. At each cf the local
performances last week Hoyd's theater was
crowded.
Miss Nollo Paris' debut at the Orphoum
proved most successful. The theater was
crowded with her admiring friends , all of
whom were much pleased with her first pro
fessional effort. She expects to secure east
ern engagements peen , and will doubtless
succeed on the stage.
The Trocadcro Opera company presented
the usual opera-comlquo production , this
time "Tho Ohlmes of Normandy. " Light
opera Is 'becoming ' decidedly popular In
Omaha , and promises to continue so for an
Indefinite time. The week's production "was
a credltablo one In every way.
For the week commencing today one new
play Is to bo offered. It will bo the three-
act farce , "Dear Old Charley , " which was
first produced In Chicago last spring and ,
whllo the press at that time was not very
flattering In Its criticisms , it Is said that
the rough edges , always noticeable In a
flrst presentation , haVe been emoothed off
nnd that the pleco la really a clover one.
The principals In the cast are well known
hero as capable artists. They are George
C. Boniface , Jr. , George Ober , Kathryn Os-
torman and Bertha Waltslnger. Ths other
attraction at the Boyd , "At Plney nidge , " Is
nn old but meretcrlous one. At the Troca-
dero , "Glrofle-Glrofla , " Lecocq's comic opera ,
will bo aung. At 'tho ' Orphcum Minnie
Palmer "will head the bill. Altogether , a
week's list of fairly good entertainments le
offered.
William niloy Hatch , the first loading
baritone engaged for the now opera com
pany , nnd who left It recently to join the
Woodward Stock company In Kansas City ,
has ibocn ro-engagcd nnd will bo In the cast
of "Glrofle-Girofla" this week. Mr. Hatch
made friends In Omaha during hla previous
etoort engagement , all cf whom aie glad to
have him return.
Mentioning the Woodward Stock company
brings to mind the fact that slnco It left
Omaha three weeks ago It has been playing
to record-breaking audiences at the Audi
torium In Kansas City. It has produced so
fur about the same line of pieces that It did
In Omaha , Including "Tho Musketeers" and
"Northern Lights. " These plajs , which
Omaha theater-goers patronized In a way
anything but liberal , have been nillng the
Iftieater hi the City on the Kaw. Slnco the
Woodward company has been absent this
tlmo local patrons of the theater have had
Inflicted upon them some attractions that
could In no way compare with the Wood
wards , yet the theater-goers have been com
pelled to pay twice the price of ftdmlsslot
to- see these Inferior entertainments. This
1s bringing the people to realize , but too
late , Just what a splendid organization the
Woodward Stock company was.
Many plays are written , 'but ' few are
chosen. The conventional Idea seems to bo
that playwrltlng Is something easy , and that
dramas are dashed off after dinner or be
tween days , us a mere diversion. The fact
Is that writing a play Is no easy exploit In
romance nnd several degrees moro difficult
to do than 'to ' put a book together.
Not long ago In Now York a theatrical
manager wna approached by a callow young
man who desired ponmisslon to see the
etape. Ho stated frankly that ho had writ
ten a play nnd was now very d-esslroua to
see the unknown world -behind the scenes
Such Instances of technical Ignorance are
frequent experiences with a manager , bul
the good , bravo work of playwrltlng moves
on as merrily as over. J. J. Rosenthal , ono
of the best known managers of theatrical
attractions in this country , who was In the
city on business latit week , said that
three months ho had read no less than aov-
onty-ono now plays that were submitted to
him , and failed to nnd a single ono that , to
hla mind , had sufficiency of merit to risk
producing. Ho had given up nil hope of
securing a now farce for this season untl
ho received a letter from a friend In Lon
don telling him that Charles Brookfleld had
Just completed a now comedy called "Dear
Old Charley. " Ho cabled at once to eond
tha manuscript. It was just the thing he
wanted.
The most Important new playn produced In
Now York last week wcro "The Gadfly , " a
religious drama by Stuart Hobson , and an
operatic version of Rostand's famous "Cy
rano do Bcrgerac , " by Francis Wilson. So
Car as the critics were concerned both plays
'
woro' Hat failures , but during the week thcj
drowr "standing room only" houses. All o ;
tlio critlcti "roasted" "Tho Gadfly , " and be
low will bo found portions of some of their
criticisms.
The Peat said : "Of all the problems sug
gested by 'Tho Gadfly , ' a nightmare In four
acts , which was Inflicted upon n longsuffering
ing audience , the moat difficult to solve la

'or ' any ono with the least experience In
Iramatlc affaire to witness a single ro-
le.irsal without recognizing its utter worth-
essnoss , In its present form , cither as
drama or for any purpose of entertainment.
Nothing qulto eo extraordinary In the way
of portcnUous futility bos been seen on the
oca ! Btfliro within recent memory. Every
act la heavy with dullness and crammed
with alfiurdlty. 1'rofessedly the piece IB
what Is called a liberal adaptation of the
lovcl of the eamo name , and the subject ot
t Is ono of the Innumerable political con
spiracies of which the modern history of
: taly largely consists. The hero Is the 11-
egltlmato son of a prleEt , who abjures re-
Iglon on the discovery of his parentage ,
and the Imagined porfldy of his lady love ,
and after y vrs of cxllo In South America ,
where ho undergoes * frightful hardships , ro-
turnd to Italy In a badly crippled condition ,
o bend a revolution , perform prodigies of
valor , and excUo universal admiration by
his resourcefulness , his eloquence , his eyn-
clsm , his tender-heartedness , his stoicism
and other superlative and contradictory
qualifications. In the end , after a variety of
emotional but not altogether comprehen
sible passages with hla wicked parent now
cardinal , pofsessod of dictatorial powers
nnd the gift of Ubiquity and his betrothed ,
who Is as faithful as she Is obtuse , he Is
captured and shot , a catastrophe which
would have eavcd much unnecessary trouble
If It had occurred earlier In the proceed
ings.
"All this may not bo very clear , but It Is
as lucid aa the play , which , from first to last ,
Is a mass of bewildering nonsense. Con
cealed In It somenhcro there Is supposed to
bo something In the nature of an assault
upon religion or the church , but If this ex
ists , It la too vague , Irrelevant and puerile
to causu disquiet or resentment on the part
of anybody. There Is , Indeed , no discerni
ble motive In the whole affair , although Mr.
Stuart Robson must have had ono In as-
aiamlng the part of the hero , for which ho
Is , artistically an.d constitutionally , utterly
unflttetl. It would bo moro than uncivil It
would bo cruel , and It certainly would bs
useless to discuss his performance In do-
tall. It Is sufficient to say that the char
acter , If licked Into some sort of practicable
shape , A\ould test the capacity of a strong ,
emotional and romantic actor , which , for
obvious reasons , he Is not , and never can be.
His failure was absolute , but was due qulto
aa much to the Insuperable obstacles put In
his way by nature as to lack of Intelligence.
It Is only fair to add that Jlrs. Voynlch
the autlior til the original novel , has dis
avowed all connection with or responsibility
for the place , which eho contemptuously and
righteously duba an Illiterate mc-lodrama. "
The Herald treated it " '
as follows : 'The
Gadfly' assumes to bo a 'liberal adaptation *
of Mrs. Voynloh's novel. In point of fact It
bears the same relation to the novel that a
homeopathic doctor's prescription of arsenic
or strychnine bears to the original poison.
It dilutes the dose to a point whcro the
vigor Is lost with the venom. Mrs. Voy-
nlch's novel la a vigorous but venomous
diatribe against the Catholic church. Mr.
Rcso's 'adaptation' Is a concession to tlio
Catholic , and. Indeed , to the Christian , clement -
ment In the audience , ny a backward pro
cess It converts acetose Into saccharine mat
ter. "
And the Trlbuno thus : "Tho pleco Is an
lold-fashloned melodrama , very clumsily put
together , Tvrlttcn In florid English and need
lessly weighted with a Jargon of false ethics
and ribald rhetoric. Dark intimations had
been given that this play would give deep
.offenso to the church and would cause the
ecclesiastical establishment to tremble , but
In fact Its chief effect was to cause a g6od-
natured grin. Once In a whllo the stage
kindly vouchsafes this sort of frosty Joy
a pleco nnd a performance so seriously In
tended and so pretentiously bad that they
become ocmlc. 'The Gadfly' Is a thing of this
kind and for an old cynic nothing could bo
moro delicious in this peculiar vein. "
Francis Wilson fared no better than Mr.
Robeon , as will bo seen by some of the fol
lowing criticisms. The Honald says :
"Tho Knickerbocker theater opened for
the season with Francis Wilson's prductlou
of 'Cyrano do Bergerao' In comic opera
form. Stuart Reed has made the book ,
Hurry D. Smith has supplied itho lyrics and
the ecoro Is by Victor Herbert. There were
the usual flret-nlght encores ( would they
might ccaso to bo considered 'tho thing ! ' ) ,
and after the second act Mr. Wilson was
called out and made a speech. Out the
opera was not received vUth the same
hearty favor which has been meted out to
BOIUO of Mr. Wilson's past productions , and
the reason Is not far to seek.
"There was Just ono way 10 make a suc
cessful work for a musical comedian out of
Rostand's famous play , and that was to ex
aggerate Cyrano's eccentricities and make
the opera a burlesque , or at least a scml-
burlcsquo throughout. Out as it stands it
verges on burlesque. In spots , and then como
serious lines and episodes , which , though
lakon out of the play , seem for their sur
roundings only Iko echoes of It.
The Post says : "Although a largo nnd
friendly audience gathered to listen to the
flrst performance of the now operetta , 'Cyr-
nuo do Bergerac , ' they could got up lut llt-
tlo enthusiasm and the piece fell somewhat
flat. Mr , Victor Herbert has written some
pleasing music which Is 'catchy' In places ,
and the solos may Uo appreciated when they
are sung as they were not on this occasion.
Mr. Francis Wilson has made a mlttako In
Imagining that his forte Is In serious actIng -
Ing , Tlio public have learned to regard htm
as a fun-maker , nnd ho < eema out of hU
proper element when ho curays long poetic
rultatlons and love ballads. They much
prefer him In his accustomed whimsicalities ) ,
for which the writer of the book iaa not
afforded him many opportunities. "
The Tribune says ; "After this it will not
surprise any ono familiar with the taste and
Intelligence of Now York operetta audiences
to bear that the people who greeted the
now work In friendly fashion , because they
have long admired Mr. Wilson and could not
cscapo the fascination of Mr. Herbert's nu-
fclc , eoemcd a good deal puzzled by the en
tertainment set before them. Mr. Wilson
tried to ploy familiar scones seriously , tried
to declaim and act so as to stir the emotions
of his auditors ; but ho Is least of all an un
conscious humorist , and be was only enter
taining when he was amusing and only
amusing when he was funny on the old \VII-
poulan lines mlnua the acrobatics. The
simplest explanation of the phenomenon
might be that the public found 'Cyrano de
Dorgerac' as done into music In palpable
imitation of the French play , but without
credit , neither flsb , flesh nor fowl , and knew
not what to do with good red herring. "
Cuiulni ; I2veiit ,
George C. Boniface , Jr. , and George Ober ,
in the now farce , "Dear Old Charley , " will
'be ' the attraction at Boyd'3 opera house four
nights , beginning today with a matinee on
WoJuesday , This 'win also be the flrst pre
sentation in this city of Charles DrooKfleld's
play , which Is eald to contain some well-
defined and nicely designed character
studies , although it Is of the farce order ,
The lines In "Dear Old Charley" are said
to be bright and ' \\ltty , and the plot novel.
Ono of the features Is a female character
that never appears on the stage. At timed
her voice IB heard and on several occasions
she la prevented from appearing by the mer
est breath , and yet , although tha woman is
never eoen , uho is a most important factor
In the element of fun that permeates the
piece. The old adage , ' 'Never make love
through nn Jnk bottle , " ha1) a great deal to
do with the story of "Dear Old Charley. "
A bundle of love letters , together with the
reminiscences of two old cronies of his
bachelor darn , are the moans of getting the
hero Into numerous Bcrapes thai provide
the laugh-compolllns situations In the new
comedy. Besides Boniface and Ober the
members of ths organization are Kathryn
Ostorman , John Hyams , Helen Harcourt ,
Stephen Matey , ntta Gllroy , John W. Bur
ton , Florence Turner and Maybelle Rother.
Bertha Waltslnger , well known ns a comic
opera prlma donna , Is also an Important
member of the organization.
Now In full swing of Its third tour ot
success , the splendid play of the south "At
I'lney Ridge , " 'with ' Its author-actor , Mr.
David Hlgglns , at the head ot a strong
company , appear at Boyd's theater for thros
nights nnd a matinee , commencing Thurs
day , September IS. While its success bos
called out many Imitations and lured from
a dcsorvod obscurity many so-eallsd south
ern dramas or "pictures of southern life , "
truthful only In the fact that they show
the south as It Isn't , the beautiful story
etill stands alone And 'far aloft , easily the
most consistent dramatic etory yet given
from the stage of the real south as it Is to
day. There never has boon nor never will
bo too many good American plays , nnd the
only regret Is that there are not moro llko
"At I'lney Rldgo" clean , crisp and whole
some. The work of the company Is up to
the standard , and the carload of scenery car
ried by the organization is by the best New
York artists.
At the Crolghton-Orpheum this week , be
ginning with the matlneo today , probably
the most Interesting event will bo the de
but In vaudeville of the famous come
dienne , Minnie Palmort Avho was recently
starring In "My Sweetheart" company. Mls3
Palmer will appear In a one-net play en
titled "Rose Pcnn-Pom. " She will be sup
ported by Francis Gerard and company.
AVhat promises to bo another feature of the
week is the appearance of the Cardownlo
troupe of dancers. The troupe consists of
three women and two men , who execute
Vthat is said to be some of tlio most novel
and refined dances ever seen on the stago.
The American blograph ia another attrac
tion that will doubtless prove popular. It
shows an entirely now series of war pic
tures and other views. Among the pic
tures to bo shown this week ia "Admiral
Dewey Receiving His Mall. " The admiral
scats himself , the mallcarrlcr hands him
the mall , and whllo reading "Bob , " the
dog , Jumps up on Ui3 chnlr besldo him.
The admiral stops reading , pets the dog and
takea his cap off. Another fine picture Is
that of the United States ship Oregon In
the naval parade at New York City. Polo
vaulting by Columbia college athletes , show
ing five Jumps , la a very witching plctuie ,
and when given In reverse motion Is very
amusing and somewhat mycitlfylng. A very
timely picture Is "Rounding the Stake Bs
Before the Finish. " This shows tlhe racs
between the Columbia and Defender , with
the former In the lead. Other plctur.s are
"Tho Schoolmaster's " " -
Surprise , "How-
Tommy Played a ( W ) ringing Good Joke on
His Dad. "
The rest cf the bill Is made up of Frank
Hall and Cass Staley In the "Twentieth
Century Burglar ; " Irene Franklin , singing
comedienne ; Powers and Pearl , rag-tlmo
dancers and singers , and Chevrlel , a charmIng -
Ing entertainer.
That splendid light opera stock company
which is now eight weeks along In an In
definite run at the Trocadoro theater , which
is gaining an exceptionally largo following
In select musical circles and 'the fashionable
contingent , will this week sing Charles Le-
cocq'e three-act comic opera "Glroflo-
Glrofla , " which achieved such universal fa
vor some years ago and was at that time
voted ono of the musical hits of the cen
tury. Lecocq's Insistent and sparkling
music has been exemplified In several operas
hero before. This particular opera , how
ever , exploits the entire strength of the or
ganization and presents as strong an en
sqmble as any composition they have In
their repertoire. It Is brimful of melody
and contains moro than fifteen popular solo
numbers , distributed among the chief artists
