The most flagrant violation of established
theatrical precedents and one of the most
noticeable Impositions ever perpetrated upon
the theater-going public of Omaha was that
by which those who attended latit Wednes
day night's performance of "At the White
HorFo Tavern" were forced to endure because -
cause of the lack of consideration of their
rlnhtn by a Mr. Norcross , one of Daniel and
Charles Krohman'a .managers. It seems
"Tho White Horeo Tavern" was hooked for
Kansas City following the Omaha , engage
ment and that to reach that place In tlmo
It was necessary to leave immediately after
Wednesday night's performance. Arrange
ment was made with a local railroad to hold
the regular train t > eyond Its regular sched
ule time , until Iho company was safely
aboard. Ilenardlces of this , however , and
without notice , the curtain went up a half
hour In advance of the usual time , thus do-
' prlvlng those who paid their money ex
pecting to see a full performance of at least
n half hour's enjoyment , to say nothing of
what they were deprived of by the reckless
manner In which the actors rushed through
their parts and In other ways shortening
the performance to finish it a few minutes
after 10 o'clock , Instead of 11 , ns usual.
Nor was this the only outrageIn -
etcad of using the scenery brought here for
j iho play and used on Tuesday , Manager
j Noreroas had half of It safely loaded for
, transportation to Kansas City before the
curtain went up and substituted whatever the
) theater happened to have on hand. Ono of
' the most attractive settings \vas a pretty
5 and effective scenic drop representing a
I small vlllago In the heart of the Alps , with
f a. lake In the foreground. Imagine this bc-
Inp replaced with one representing a valley
* In the Kocky mountains , with red pieces ot
flannel posted hero and there on the moun
tain sides to represent Indian signal lights.
Just oe It was arranged for use In the Wood
ward Stock company's production of "North
ern Lights" last summer. This substitution
entirely spoiled the atmosphere of "At the
"Whlto Horse Tavern , " which was meant
iby the author to be strictly Swiss.
Any ono who attended Wednesday night's
iperformancn could have justly demanded the
return of his admission fee. The prices
are Invariably always advanced for the
Frohraan attractions and theater-goers usu
ally pay the advance without hesitancy or
Crumbling , because they have corao to roB -
B rd this management to bo above the or-
ainary , but theater-goers generally will cer-
tnlnly withdraw their confidence and pat-
/ ror.ago from the Frohman attractions un-
rl less more trustworthy sub-managers arc
\ put in charge of them.
Unusual Interest Is manifest In this week's
vaudeville bill , In view of the fact that one
of tbo specialty numbers Included In It in
furnished by a former Omaha girl who returns -
'
' turns to this city after a prolonged absence ,
V during which time she has been winning
histrionic honors all over the country. The
f young woman Is Gertrude Hutledge , or Ger-
'y trudo Goff , an she was known before adopt
ing the theatrical profefelon as n means
of livelihood. Miss Goft waa 11 resident of
'
Omaha for many years and was educated In
the public schools hero. Her family have since
moved east , but her married sisters still
resldo In tha city. Miss Goff adopted the 1
stage Bomo years ago. Her first public ap-
-pcarance was made In 1SS5 In an amateur
.performance of "Cinderella" at tbo old
Uoyd's opera house under tbo direction of
a Mrs. Denton. Since that tlmo ahe has
been with some of the leading musical and
dramatic companies of the country. Four
years ago who appeared here In one of the
leading roles of " 1492" and scored a pro
nounced triumph.
Tim Murphy Is going to demonstrate that
- nu artist hampered by an uneuphonlous
name can win high stellar honors. If not
mount to the pinnacle of his profession , by
Us aid.
Tim , despite his name , -which reetim In
congruous and Inharmonious when applied
jo' one of his artistic temperament , has won
for hlinpelf n high place as a star In the
( xiteem of theatergoers. Tbo name Murphy
It , as everybody knows , n good old Irish
one , and one ltd possessor m'txl not be
n'nbamed to wear at any and all time *
whether an actor or not. Murphy IB not
the only untheatrlcal name , for many others
nro worn by actors that are to u certain
exJeni n bar to their suet-ess. For Instance ,
could n man who played foppish dude part ?
ever hope to secure the support and co
operation of theatergoer * who was blessed
with siirh H name as Ole Ole.ion , Ike
(
Srhurtzlcberger or Pat Malone wherf a |
name such a f'lnrenee Ueaumont or Chaun- |
cty Pcnsonby would be In perfect harmony i
with the part ? Again , could nil audience )
take seriously a big , burly athlete , playing '
gladiatorial parts who bore a dudlsh nam ?
It's so throughout the gamut of parts. .
Would Julia Marlowe's classic beauty be ai
appealing did she bear n less euphonious ,
prosaic and mcanlnglts * name ? Could you
Imagine Viola Allen In the part of Olorln
Quaylp If her name was Itridgct Flannlgun ?
Lawrence Barrett's name before and while
he was n struggling young aetor was IJran-
nlgon nnd William Florence's was fonlln.
Dorothy Morton , the opera singer. In glrl-
hood WHS known as Nellie McCarthy , and the
majority of the well known theatrical ccleb-
rltlen originally bore names that would give
confirmed theatergoers the nightmare were
they again to iissmne Itcm.
During his Into visit here Mr. Murphy
said that he had been coaxed by warm per-
sonal friends to cxchaugo his name In Its
entirety or else to fix It up In some way
to maUo It lese Its Milesian Identity , butte
to all such entreaties he turned a deaf car.
"I overheard a conversation recently , "
said Mr. Murphy , "In which I was the sub
ject under dissection. Two men were talkIng -
Ing uf my nlcrltn an an actor. Doth admitted
I that they thought my work clever , but one
said : 'Vcs , and ho would bo a great deal
cleverer and have a higher place In the
theatrical world as well as moro cash In
the bank If his name were not Murphy , but
Eomothlng more In keeping with him and
his personality. Every time I hear the name
Murphy I conjure up a hod carrier when
applied to an actor. '
"Ono man told mo the other day
that ho asked his wife to go with him a
certain evening to see Tim Murphy play at
n certain theater and her answer was , 'No ,
John , I don't cnro to see those Irish comedy
dramas. ' The man Insisted and when his
wlfo saw me made up In the old-fashioned
costume of Governor Cninco she refused to
bellevo that my name was Murphy.
"Why , man , how could I change my name
If I wanted to , and I don't want to ? I'd lose
my Identity , unless I shquld have my billing
matter made up something like this : 'Regi
nald do Renter , late Tim Murphy. ' No , sir ,
I'm going to stick to Tim Murphy , the name
with which I've gained everything I possess ,
and If the people don't want me with that
name I'll have to struggle along as best I
can. Chicago has accepted mo ns Tim Mur
phy , and I am to have a New York engage
ment soon and I expect to leave the metropo
lis , no matter what the critics may say ns
to my name , still bearing the cognomen of
Tim Murphy. "
Coming Event * .

The Ioird ! of Directors of thi- Omaha Pub-
lie library ban again placed the musically
Interested seMlon of the reading public
under obligations , which are gratefully nc-
knowledged. The cause Is the recent ar
rival of a package of new books on different
branches of musical literature from the
pens of the best authorities and emanating
from the best presses.
Miss KJIth Tobltt , the enthusiastic li
brarian , has done much -to Interest profes
sional musicians In the library and the honts
of amateurs who read the excellent works
on the shelves will be especially glad to hear
of the new volumes. During the last few
years some splendid works have been cata
logued nnd that they have been read over
and over In testified to by the signs of wear
and tear. They are assuredly not shelf-
worn.
Incidentally there are some readers , who ,
either through Ignorance of library rules , or
Insufferable conceit , or both , persist In
marking musical text books , especially books
on the voice , giving marginal hints of the
commentator's superior knowledge. This
has caused considerable annoyance and a
very positive and heroic treatment of such
persons should bo adopted.
Tlie now books , when placed on the
shelves , will consist of the full vocal and
piano score of the following operas : "Die
Walkure" and "Tristan and Isolde" ( Wag
ner ) ; "Aida" and "Otello" ( Verdi ) , "Le Cid"
and "King of Lahore" ( Massenet ) .
A beautiful example of book production Is
the volume entitled "Tho National Music of
America nnd Its Sources. " by the well
known Boston writer nnd lecturer , Louis
Bison. It Is copiously Illustrated and has
sorao interesting cuts ot old tunes nnd
songs. Another of Elson's good volumes Is
"Curiosities of Music , " a book whleh is
simply a collection of facts not generally
known regarding the music of the ancient
and savage nations. H Is authentic where
It claims to be. These two , added to Mr.
Bison's works already on the catalogue , con
stitute In themselves a valuable section.
One of tha best publications regarding the
human voice is that contributed to musical
literature by Emll Behnke , who , when he
lived , was one of London's representative
teachers. The book entitled "Voice , Song
and Speech. " which has been in the library
for some years , was written by Mr. Bohnke ,
v-ith Lennox Browne , the noted throat spe
cialist , as co-author. The book under pres
ent review Is entitled "The Mechanism of
the Human Voice. " It is in its ninth edi
tion , and contains a preface by Mrs.
Behnke , who is now teaching in the English
metropolis. The plates of the larynx , vocal
chords , breathing muscles , etc. , arewell
worth studying , and are the best In the
library , excepting , perhaps , one anatomical
and physiological full page Illustration ,
which is found In the "Hygiene of the
Vocal Organs , " by the once famous Sir
Morrell Mackenzie. This volume Is also one
of the recent acquisitions.
Of Interest to music committees and
amateur organists Is the work entitled
"The Organ Manual , " which Is described by
the author as a book for the use of amateurs
and church committees , containing chapters
on the history , construction and perfection
of the organ as a musical instrument , lists of
stops , specifications and prices for certain
sized Instruments , and good advice on what
not to buy In purchasing a church organ.
An appendix contains remarks on the use
of the reed organ as a substitute for its more
dignified superior. The work Is by Rev.
Henry D. Nicholson , M. A. , Trinity college ,
Cambridge England.
For those who wish to pursue the study
of the practical working of the organ the
library has bad for some years the greatest
comprehensive and exhaustive work ever
published on the subject , entitled "Tbo Or
gan ; Its History nnd Construction , " by Hop
kins and Rlmbault.
For an American musical authority , one
cannot nnd any objection to Dudley Buck ,
who has won his laurels' ' and who stands at
a high position in ecclesiastical musical
affairs. His book on "Choir Accocnpanl-
mcnt" Is worthy the most patient study
of accompanists the world over. His ex
planations are clear , his theories concisely
laid down and accurate in detail and the
work Is a valuable addition to the Instru
mental side of the musical department ot
the library. It is dedicated to S. P. War
ren , the famous organist of Grace church ,
New York.
Probably the greatest accession Is the
volume entitled "On Conducting ( Ueber Das
Dlrigen ) by Richard Wagner , translated by
the eminent Dannrcuther. This book should
bo read by all musicians , although Wagner
states that It Is ppecially designated for
executants rather than conductors
and Is a treatise on style In
the execution of classical music.
It Is replete , with splendid similes , poet
ically expressed sentiments and graceful dlc-
tlon , which is sometimes humorously satlr-
leal and at other times bristling with caustic
sarcasm.
Another and a good companion to this In
Kdwin Dannreuther's work on "Richard
Wagner , His Tendencies and Theories. "
The volume which boars the name of "The
Soprano" Is a fascinating story , not without
a moral , and Is from the pen of Jane Klnss-
ford.
ford.Tho
The library of the city of Omaha Is now
equipped with a representative list of books
far above the average general library and In
addition to tbo many volumes in the circu
lating department , to which those mentioned
will belong , there Is a flno collection of
standard and thoroughly reliable works In
the reference library.
The presontatlon of Gounod's beautiful
work , "Oalllo , " will be done In English at
tbo First Methodist church on Thursday
evening , February 8. H will bo sung by the
choirs of the First Methodist church nnd the
St. Mory'a Avenue Congregational. These
two choirs will unite , under the direction
of Mr. E. D. Keck , assisted by Mr. Kelly at
the organ. Mrs , Thomas J. Kelly will sing
the soprano aria In .the work. It Is a mat
ter of Interest when a work of this class is
presented for tbo first time in a city and It
Is hoped that the musical people will bo
anxious to hear It for lie own sake.
Those who like to hear aesthetic music
well sung , and who are Interested In the
verses of Omar Khayyam , known as the
"Rubalyat.will have the opportunity of
listening to n good Interpretation thereof on
Tuesday evening , January 30 , at the Flrbt
Congregational church. The music Is writ
ten by Liza Lehmann and will bo eung by
the Whitney Mockrldge Concert company.
Mr and Mrs. Delmore Cheney give an
Interesting musical program at Mr. Cheney's
studio last Friday night. It was a happy
idea of entertaining ono's friends In that
way Instead of the more frequent method of 1
card party and pink lea. The affair wai .
Informal and was most enjoyable. Mr.
Cheney gang a group of Schumann's songs ,
and In to doing displayed a true familiarity
with the composer. He was assisted in the
program by a few of his pupils.
