THE OMATTA DATLT BEE: SUXDAV, MAttCTI 11, 1000. 15 I AMUSEMENTS. i Tho last week In local theatrical circles assume the coyness of femininity over his . proved to be one cf tho moaf notable of any masrullnc habit In this role Mr Collier was of tho present thcatrkal seanon so far, both sIiii?uipNv stiecessful. lie li.

I want to concert, there being but few vacant seats either nlRlit. On rrlday and naiuruay nigum Willie Collier played to larger audiences than he has during any of his previous Msltn to this city as a star. The vaudevlllo hill hrnded by dainty llttlo Lillian Ilurk ihart proved one of tho best of the season nt tho CrelRhton-Orphctim theater and was patronized accordingly.- In view of the fact that tho Lenten season Is on ami everything else considered It would seem that Omaha Is In a fair way to become one of the beat theatrical towns In tho west. That Augustus Thomas Is making a strong hid for a position In tho regard of the thc-ntcr-golng public as Amorlca'a leading dra matic writer no one who saw either his "Oliver (ioldomlth" or "Arizona" can doubt. Neither ciin the ultimate aucccrs of his am bition be doubted. Mr. Thomu3 has achieved deserved distinction as a dramatist of place nnd of type that no other American play--wrlter can claim, or not many foreign ones Tor that matter. Kew play-writers havo approached him In the ability to present with an exactness almost photographic tho characteristics of sectional Individuality. An a deviser of effective situations, too. of sit uations that thrill, Mr. Thomas has proved himself an adept. Ills "Arizona" Is a pow erful play and one that holds the Interest closely from the flirt to last act. Indeed, few as powerful dramas have been seen In Omaha In the last decade. And above all It Is moral, clean and III to be seen by every body from children up. Its Americanism Is strotiR. and with the exception of a despicable man and a wotully weak and senseless woman Its characters aro noble, wholesome end altogether lovable. One of the inrs't commendable things about "Arizona" Is the remarkable brevity of Its dialogue. There aro no long drawn-out tpcechrs that require such constant attention to every word as to tire tho brain of the ordinary spectator. And yet there Is depth enough to them to make them appeal to tho literary mind as well as that of the masses. "Oliver Cnldsmlth" was written by Mr. Thomas for the literary theater goer, while "Arizona" is n play for tho manses. Tho majority of people who go to the theater do not go there to bo ed ucated or to have their brain taxed with dia logue ho deep ns to make a vest-pocket dic tionary almost a necessity. On the other liand, they go to be amused nnd thc'playMn which action predominates Is the one that wins frcm the box-ollko point of view. "Ari zona" Is principally action nnd atmosphere. The majority of the speeches, If one may be allowed to use the actor's vocabulary, do not contain more than a half-dozen words, hut P3 pointed have they been made by the pen of Mr. Thcmas that the Idea Is ex pressed n forcibly as though twice the num ber had been used. The one thing about "Arizona" most to be regretted Is that It was only here for two performances, and that It will be at lent nnothcr year before Omaha people will have an opportunity of Feeing It again. Quito an Innovation was Introduced at the Orpheum theater Inft Thursday night In the nppearanro of Krancl.s Totter and his rplendld organization of mandolin and guitar players. A prcgram of six numbers, In cluding classical and popular selections, was rendered, much to tho delight of the large nudtence. Mr. Totter Is one of Omaha's most promising young musicians nnd his mandolin club, competed mainly of his own pupils,, shows the benefit of excellent In struction. Mr. Totter gives considerable promise ns n conductor and It Is hoped that tho Orpheum management will offer Its patrrns tho opportunity of hearing his or ganization frequently. To the uninitiated It Is nlwnys Interesting to learn how starts nro made In prnfenslonal life, and here Is n story from the Chicago Times-Herald of how Wllllo Cnllbr took his first steps that Is quite opportune In ew of the fact that WIIIIo'h performance of "Mr. Smooth," a play written by himself, was ono of tho features of last week at tho lloyd; "Willie Collier came Into the dramatic pro fession through an unusual door. He was callboy at Daly's New York theater for many n J ear. with neither ambition nor oppor tunity to r.ct further on In life than the clllco of Informing tho actors that the mo ment of their nppearnnce on the stage had ni rived. One day unexpected honor, like a bolt from the blue, fell tipcn him. On ac count of his beardless chin Augustln Daly selected him for (he role of the page In 'Tho Taming of the Shrew.' It Is u small pnrt, but capable of development.

" 'Well, I know, but, Mr. Daly,' the young ster gasped, 'after my success as tho pago I think' " 'I allow no one to think In my theater,' said Mr. Daly. 'You will return to your du ties as callboy.' "There are thoso who still retain con sclousncss after being struck by lightning. Shielding his oyos against tho glare of his manager's withering Raze Willie Collier rushed out of tho theater, crying: 'I won't bo callboy any more. There!' After that appalling nnd unprecedented oplsode ths name of Collier and Its memory were wiped from the pay roll and archives of Daly's. The callboy was officially dead and burled. "However, he was presently resurrected by John Kussell, the farce-comedy manager, and put Into tho DIJou theater, Just a bloclc from Daly's, where ho defied fato by an amusing but Infidel carlcaturo of Augustln Daly. Now Daly Is gone. Ills eompany Is scnttcrod over tho land and Wllllo Collier Is a star." There are many less wise married men In this world ithan tho well known comedian, Nat Cioodwin, who has a partner for life, handsome Maxino Klllott. MIfs Elliott Is said to hare a temper nil her own nnd It Is also rumored that because of tho latter sho and her husband are not ns hapny as tho proverbial "peas In tho pod." Evidently re alizing the effects of a "llttlo Jolly" upon the fair sex and having Fomo eapeclnl reason for "squaring" himself with his spouse, Nat gave the following Interview to a Washing ton reporter last week: "As for theso stories," said Nat. "of sepa ration between my wife, Maxino HI I lot t . and myself, cither professional or domestic do you know that makes me mad? I think moro of her llttlo linger than all the world besides. Her company Is of moro use nnd -olace to mo than anyone elso's. No bettor wlfo was ever given to a man and I ought to know; for I've had my own troubles. Pro fessionally sho Is ns much an aid to mo as I am to her. I rccognlzo her value finan cially, for she receives $200 a week salary, nnd after I make $20,000. which Is about our total living expenses (remember I pay $7."i p. week alimony), I divide tho profits with her. Seeing that my profits run from $30,000 to $80,000 it year, sho Is not badly provided for. She has got over $00,000 of her own In bank now. No, don't bolleve these absurd stories. I havo been, wild, yes, hut I am not a total fool, for I know a good thing when I've got It." Krances McMlllen. the bright and talented little Council Illuffs girl who made her debut In the theatrical profession nt tho Crclghtcn Orpheum Inst season, Is now a full-Hedge 1 actress and has an Important part In "Hello Hill." one of tho season's comedy successes new touring the east. After little Miss Mc Mlllen made her debut she was taken cas., where she spent the summer studying under competent dramatic instructors. She ad vanced so rapidly that early In the fall she wns given a week's engagement In one of Chicago's leading vaudeville thenters. Her success was so marked and created so much favorable comment In the Chlcngo papers that she found llttlo trouble In securing a season's engagement with J. J. Rosenthal's company to play one of the. leading parts In "Hello Hill." Wherever the play has been seen In the largo eastern cities little Miss McMlllen. or Kopplnr. ns she Is now known on tho stage, haa been singled out by tho dramatic critics as one of tho features of tho piece. Besides having a speaking part, the little lady does her dancing and unnnologuo ppecialty, which is said to bo wonderfully clever for ono so young. She expects to make a vaudevlllo tour of tho west ut the con clusion of her engagement with the "Hello Hill" company, and her friends in Caunfll Blurts nnd Omaha are anxiously awaiting her coming, when she will doubtless be given an ovation by them. The eastern critics arc unanimous In predicting for her a bright future In tho dramatic world. o in I hut KventN, Sunday afternoon nnd night lloyd's thenter will ho given over to colored minstrelsy. Klchard & Trlnglo's. Ituscoo & Holland's big minstrels will be the attraction. The eompany comes heralded as tho greatest ag gregation of colored talent In America, and judging by 'the names of the people who constitute It the elnlm Is not u wild one. Tho mnmgement claims that tho strength of the company Is llfty-flve peoplo and that tho stngo settings are unusually elaborate. Tho company will parado from tho Union depot to the theater at noon, In full parado costume, tho most prominent members rid ing In English boulevard traps, dtawn by four horses. "The Half-Way House" will bo tho comedy fenture of the week's bll nt the Crelghton Orpheum theater, beginning nt tho mntlneo today. It Is described as a quaint charac ter sketch, written by Ezra Kendall, which Is n guaranty that it Is meritorious. The dialogue Is said to be witty nnd the situ ations at times qulto comical. This llttlo comedy will bo produced by Mr. and Mrs. Terklns Klslier, who havo iv high reputa tion as legitimate comedy artists. It U prom ised that It will be equal to any comedy yet teen nt the Crelghton-Orphcum, nnd there havo been somo very good onea. Kelly and Vlolette. who as vocalists and travesty itars aro well known on the vaudeville stage. They will give a stnglng nnd dancing act, with other specialties. They have a handsome wardrobe. Kelly is called a phenomenal baritone. Vlolette, his wife, is n slngl I; and dancing comedienne, who wns Inm at Tahlo Kock, Neb. Julia Kaltbnrn, who sings tho la'test descriptive hongs, electrically Il lustrates her act. O'Hrlen nnd Huckley will do it mimcnl comedy act. and the L"onards, sketch artlsls. will appear In ono of their one-act comedies, entitled. "A Chappie's Expose." The T.trtle trio will perform on tho imislblo wire and the threo Hntownys, sensational ncrobars, direct from the Empire theater of London, will make their first ap pearance on tho Orpheum circuit. Charles Ynle, with his clowns, harlequins, cclcmblncn, trick fcnery and elaborate transformation!), will bo tseeti at Hnyd's for two performances, commencing Monday niijht. Like "L'mle Tom's Cabin' his "Devil's Auction" has withstood tho test of time. Kach year It emerges from Its last year's dress resplendent In new raiment and features. This year It Is promised with moro elaborate features than now. Among tho many new specialties secured are the DcV.orellls, musical grotesques, I.es Krorcs Iorolla, James A. Kcrnan, Mamo Mayo, Amalla Maveroffer and Olsolda llasseggln. Tho foremost novelties nro tho "Lcs Danse de Sousa," "Tho Festival Kantastlque" anil "Tho Keats of the Mandarins," all ballets of regal costumlc splendor. In "ls Danse do Sousa," the marches "King Cotton," "121 Capltan," "I'nchaln tho Dogs of War" and tho "Stars nnd Stripes Korever" will be II lun'.ratcd by a corps of ballet girls lu cos tumes typical of each march. William Cilllett's great war drnma, "Secret Service," will be seen for two performances at lloyd's. Thursday matinee nnd night. Thh play In the Intensity of Its scenes Is not un like the Interesting "Arizona" seen nt this theater last week. While it Is a war drama there Is no clashing of armies, thunders of cannon, or rattle of musketry in It, but you i nro made to feci all the whllo that you are In the vestlhulo of that sort of thing and that Just beyond the windows through which you seo faintly the men In tho trenches nro fighting fiercely for tho cnuto they represent. Love Is tho dominant motive of the wholo story. A woman's heart sends Its throbs through every scene nnd her Joys nnd grlefi are shared by those who watch the unfold ing of the story. There Is something re- mnrkable In this thrilling romance that made It hold the public enthralled for no leng. William II. Smith enacts the role of Captain Thome, the secret agent of tho fed eral army, nnd ..Miss Krances King that of IMIth Varney. The company numbers twenty-seven people nnd the scenic Investiture of tho piece is said to be unusually heavy and elaborate. Thoso who witnessed the performance of "Sowing tho Wind" when presented nt lloyd's last reason w ill no doubt avail them selves of tho opportunity to sec It ngaln nt tho same theater during Its engagement of five performances, opening Krlday night. Kor those who did not see It before thero Is u treat In store. One Is npt to nssoclate with tho name of Sydney Grundy everything that Is prim nnd prudish. Hut "Sowing tho Wind" Is a play In tho writing of whl.'h "Mrs. drundy" wa evidently not consulted. It Is one of the merits of tho play that It deals with n subject that Is not Indelicate. Not that It minces or refines; It dots not. It speaks with remorselessne.ss and plainness. It Is tho old story of the sins of the father upon tho children. Tho company presenting the pleco this season Is said to bo n thor oughly capable one. It Includes Charles M. Collins, Mnudo Kdnn Hall, W. H. Turner, Kninklln Kltchlo, S. Leo Daniel, A. D. Klch ardson. Mnrlo Moore, draco (Jlbbons and Ella Iialley Kobcrtson.

The remarks whbh have been heard at every turn since tho short season of Sousa concerns given hero last week Is n commen tary on the results of tho exposition manage ments In regard to music. So potent was tho educational feature of those concerts that It Is a common matter of discussion as to whether Mr. Sousa gave to the Omaha public such programs as they expected. Tlmo was when one could find none but Sousa admirers In this city, nfter the "March King" had been here, but on this, his latest visit, many comparisons have been drawn, which wero. In the main, not unfavorable to Mr. Kred N. Innes and Mr. Herman Ilell steit. Tho peoplo have learned a few things about tho possibilities of the concert band, and In the mind of n great many people the Idol, Sousn, after all, has feet of clay. The jrograms which wore presented by lnnes nnd his band, and by Hcllstedt's band, lose noth ing In comparison with the Sousa programs. Mr. Sousa pave much that was new, and not much that was heavy, and It Is to be re gretted that the best program, namely, that of tho afternoon, was heard by fewer per sons than one anticipated. Tho Rencral disposition to dlsctifs Intelli gently the various compositions nnd the mnnncr of playing them, which has been noted. Is a most encour.iRlng indication that a large proportion of Omaha peoplo havo advanced most materially in a discriminat ing knowledge of good music. Somo humorous Incidents occurred In con nection with tho concerts, not the least be ing tho statement of n young, enthusiastic gentleman who completely fell In lovo with Sousa becnuso ho played "Love Is King!" Considering the fact that Mr. Sousa nnd Mr. lnnes aro not mutual admirers the statement was rather startling. It Is probable that the gentleman thought his narch wns being played becauso the trombone players camo out In front of tho band. Mr. Wheeler sas he Is trying to secure Jean Do Reszkc for one of the freo recitals given by the person whose name appears ostentatiously at the end of this column. Mr. Wheeler Is very kind. Indeed, und his Inter est Is deeply appreciated, but ho certainly must not think for an Instant that the organ ist would consent to havo two tenors on tho same program. He still prefers to have that mjIo, "Dare to Ho n Daniel," sung by "My Wee Illrd" Dan Wheeler, In his own sweet and sympathetic way. Now, poor Mr. Hutler Is sick In bod and his friends take an unfair advantage of his Illness by printing his nnme as "J. T. Hut ler." it used to bo "J. C," but tho gen tleman's real name Is "J. K. Hutler." it Is also Interesting to note that a song recital wns given last week by "Oscara" (Jarclsscn. The union of the Italian with the Ocrmnn will Interest students of philology. Now tho addition of Monsieur will effect a good In ternational combination. In regard to tho constant and continued attacks on freo music In this column. It Is Interesting to noto that thero Is a co'.erle of real musical peoplo In Omaha, who believe In tho somewhat antiquated precept "tho laborer Is worthy of his hire." To this end they have secured the services of prominent professional peoplo In itho city, and they proposo to give muslcnles of a high order at various reshlcnces during the coming weeks of Lent. Tho musicians are engaRed at re munerative flRiires and the proceeds of the subscription tlcketB will be devoted to well known and popular charities. Tho llrst of theso muslcales, which, by the way, take place Saturday mornings, was Riven yester day at Forest ,11111, tho residence of Mr. Herman Kountze, with MIbs Bella Robinson, planlste, nnd Miss Mnrlo Crounse, violinist. Krom tho success attending tho premier oc casion, and tho Interest manifested In tho splendid proRrnm which wns superbly car ried out. the Idea la esr'.alnly n most com mondnblo one. Subscription tickets for the bnlanco of tho season will be sold nt Chase's bookstore, or by 'Mrs. Hitchcock. Purchasers will support the Creche, and the baby ward of tho Child-Saving Institute, In nddltion to hearing much that Is tho best In music. Tho cost of tho ticket Is only $2.fi0. Mr. Oscar Oarelssen has relumed from his recent trip out of tho city, and he will sing at the Woman's club muslcnle next Thursday evening, at whlcn Mrs. Weakley will also appear. Tho leading local event of the just week lu musical circles was the concert given by 'Mr. Clement H. Shaw, assisted by much local talent, nt tho llanscom Park Methodist Kpis copal church. Tho program was of suillclent length lo satisfy tho most exacting, and '.ho variety therein contained would have satisfied tho most flcklo mind. It ranged from zilher to tho violin and from local composers lo tho great masters. U Is doubtful whether Mr. Hlgglns and Mr. Landsberg wero jus tified in placing their own compositions In triple numbons, nnd In close association with compositions of Chopin, Wlenlawski and other great lights, but It must be confessed Mint itho numbers by tho local gentlemen In question were of decided Interest and un questioned merit, The Illness of Mrs. IM wards, the popular contralto, made It neces sary to omlb tho boIo by Mascheronl, and tho church quartet selecting "The Sea Hath Its Tearls." Mies Klteh's absence through Illness deprived the audience of the recitation "Tho Ahscnt-Mindcd Beggar,' of Kipling. Miss Kllsworth displayed a degree of t il entcd virtuosity In her singing of "I'na Voio Poco Ka." It wns a d I film It lumber In essay. but her singing prove,! that the choice w..s not an unwise one. Her voice Is a pleasing mezzo-soprano of moro or less dramatic qual ity, and nor musical Intelligence Is highly developed. A remarkable Instance of music il versatility Is she. for her violin playing is on a par with her vocal work, and she plays a good accompaniment on the piano. Mr. Landsberg played a good triple: of pianoforte numbers, and was Interesting to tho nudlenco on account of his Intuitive mu sical taste. Mr. Hlgglns was sufiVii-nity phasing to bo compelled to respond to on encore. Ills bowing was unusually g. od and much can be said of his legato work, whi' h was far in nihancc of his more florid pass ages. Tho trio by Miss Ellsworth, Mr. Wilbur and Mr. Shaw was earnestly applauded nnd wns acknowledged tastefully y a bow. Mis Ryan and Mrs. Kly sang a duet which wan not entirely satisfactory, o.vlng to an In equality In tho blending of tho voices Tho two slylc-s of tone production are so remote that It was well nigh Impossible to produce n hnmionlnus union of tone-color. Individ ually the work was very good. Mr. Muller made quite a hlt with his dozen or ao of children who playeil on an equal number of zithers, adding thereby a nov elty to the program. It should ho noted that tho Instruments wore in unusually good tin c. A innndrlin solo by Mr. Totter and bouip clever elocutionary work by .Mrs. Jussen Donmily wcie well received. A gratifying feature of tho concert was that It proved a financial success. Mr. Shaw deserves nil manner of credit not only en account of Ills own artistic sing ing, but also for tho finished way In which he handled tho entlro program, given as it was under hlB dlrectl n. Another distinct miiBleal feature of the week was tho playing of tho Potter Mandolin orchestra at tho Crelghton-Orpheuni the nter on Thursday night. Tho young and vig orous club wns greeted by a host of friends nnd was compelled to present a number of extra selections. Mr Muller tho zlthorlst will give his third annual concert tomorrow evening at the Young Men's I'hrl.stien as'o-Htlon hall, when his pupils will ho the entertainers. A fine program has been prepared, and he will h.ne the assistance of several well-known professionals. Mrs. Myron Smith has been engaged as contralto of the Klrst Presbyterian church. The prominent flutist. Mr. Krank Hadollet, now with the Marine band at Washington, will visit his family In Council Hluffs dur ing the latter part of this month. Ills solo work In connection with the national band has attracted much favorable comment, and well ho deserves his laurels, for he Is one of the best artists of the country on his par ticular Instrument. It Is hoped that some local organization will try to secure his services while ho Is here. Now comes Mr. Clyde Altchlson. president of the Derthlck club of Council Bluffs, nnd announces a concert by tho Max Ilendlx Con cert company (with Max Ilendlx himself), nt Council Bluffs on Thursday evening. March 22. The great violinist will be assisted by Krederlc Carberry. tho brilliant young tenor who sang In Patten's "lstlah" nt the Trana mlssisslppl Kxrosltlon, Miss De Sellem, con tralto, and Kmlly Parsons, plnntste. This concert Is tho llrst attempt at presenting out side attractions that has been made by the Derthlck club. May It prosper! It Is for tunate for Omaha that Council Bluffs, Krr mont nnd Lincoln are In such close proxim ity, as It gives an opportunity for Omaha music lovers to hear a good concert once In awhile. Crelghton college has secured Mr. Franz Adelmnnn nnd Mr. Sutorlus for Its violin nnd mandolin departments respectively. Mr. J. K.

LINCOLN'S BUDY TRANSFERRED Ileiiioveil tii i'riiipuriir.v Vault Pre liiirntnry to I'.ntlre ItcciiiiM rue llnii nl Monument. SPRINOKIHLD. III.. March 10. The re mains of Abraham Lincoln were this morn ing transferred from the crypt of tho na tional Lincoln monument to a temporary vault juet north of the tnnnumcnt and on the brow of the hill overlooking Oak Ridge cemetery. The removal of the body was made necessary by the demolition of the monument preparatory to Its entire recon struction on a different plan, for which $100,000 was appropriated by the last legis lature. Tho reremonles attending the transfer were very Informal. State Treasurer Whit temore and Superintendent of Public In struction Bayllss, representing the present board of ttustecs of the monument, were present and witnessed the removal of the casket In their nlllctal capacity and the Lin coln Monument association, tho Lincoln Ouard of Honor and the Grand Army of the Republic were nlso represented. None of the relatives of the dead president were there. When tho cedar box containing the metal lic casket was exposed to view It was found to bo In n bad state of decay and In n few years more It would havo entirely rotted away. This Is due to the moisture which has found Its way Into the concrete masonry which fonmed n covering for the casket. The casket Itself was not opened, that ceremony being postponed until the remains are placed In their finnl resting place, upon the com pletion of the new monument. The tem porary vault prepared for the casket Is twelve feet square nnd constructed with doublo decks, thus insuring room for the six bodies now under tho monument. .luckxoii Return lo Aunt rnllu.
