Tho production li so elaborate) find the company o t;eneroun that he can only play In theaters In which tho statfe Is ample and the houso of suCTlrlcnt slo to bring In large receipts. Tho bookings so far decided upon are two weeks, btglnnltig December 10, In I'hllndelphla; December 24, Pittsburg; lie cembir 31. Cincinnati; January 7. St. Louis; and Jnnunry 14, at the Grand opera house, ChUflKo. for flvo weeks, "If I can And a man who can tell me what the people want In the lino of theat rlcal amusements I will gladly pay him a alary that wilt enablo him to retire at the end of a couple of years and all the work he needs to do Is to give me the benefit of his prescience," aald Manugcr V. J, Jlurgess as he sat In his oHlcu nt Iloyd's tho opening night of "The Helle tif New York." "I will array him In fine linen, put a ring on bis hand, kill nil the fattud calves In South Omaha and make life one loag, blissful dreum for him. lie can have anything he watitH at my ex pensc, even to a Krcnrh valet and un Kng llsh bulldog. 1 wish you would say In The Dee that 1 am looking for some one who has just thli ono qualification. I don't care anything about tho rest." "What's the matter now?" was asked. "Juit this: Yesterday, you know, wo played that perennial chestnut, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' ami what was tho result? Why. do you know that tho lino In front of that window was unbroken from I) o'clock In the morning until 7:!0 In tho evening, nt which tlmo every seat In the bouse was sold. When Mr. Mnrtln asked mo to book him I hesitated, for it didn't i'(m possible that there would be fifty people In Omaha who would put up good money to see that piece again. Finally I did no, hut I expected tu lose. You know tho result. Ilouso packed at tho matinee and people Humoring for stand ing room In the evening nnd willing to Rive up their coin to get even that. "Now look at this house tonight. Not half full, yet there Is ono of tho prettiest, brightest, funniest, most attractive shows wn have had thus far this season, ('lever people, catchy songs, funny comedians, nrtlsts of national reputation In tho lead ing roles and all of them playing to empty seats. I don't wonder the men who nro tnnnAglng theaters throughout tho country grow gray prematurely. "Kind that mill for mo as soon ns you ran, and the day you lnnd him I'll glvo you $1,000 and n pass for yourself and friends ns loni as I retain tho management of this theater." And Manager Hurgess was right. It li Hi Imposslblo to predict what a play wilt do In a city as It Is to fortcll tho weather for six months ahend of a given date. Old playfi that have grown gray nr.o revived with u success that mukei managers smite nnd their piirncH plethoric, whllb new productions Hint look like Buro winners fall flat and aro dropped after a Bhort trlnl. An Instance of the truth of this statement Is found In the hiicccss with which Jamci O'NcIII'h revlvnl of "Monte Crlsto" la meeting. Ono Saturday night, In the face of the big Flrynn demonstration at Madison Kqunru Harden and the Tammany Hall rallies Just around tho corner on Four teenth street, tho Acudemy of Music was packed from pit to dome with un audi ence which deposited $1,070 at tho tiox office for the privilege of witnessing the persecution, thrilling cscnpe and royal ro venga of Kdmoud Dantcs, afterward the millionaire Count of Mcnte Crlsto, Con Hlderlng that $1 Is the highest price charged for a seat In this theutor, It will bo seen that tho senson'a novelties nro not the only things that havo sufllclent vitality to draw money from the people's pocket. "Come uway. poor boy, come away," aang Scarlet Wilt to Alan-a-I)ale, In basso pianissimo, whllo Hobln Hood was pour ing forth In the most mellifluous of tenor Htralns a dollKhtful serenado to Muld Marian under tho lmprenslou that ho was tarrying out a contract with the coquet tish Annabel. And Alnn-B-U.vlc's broken heart was pouring Itself forth In u mellow contralto torrent of grief and anger and Jealousy and hope for revenge, whllo tho Hiidlcnco sat enraptured by ono of tho sweetest lyrli? trios ever listened to. It was on the stago of the old Uoyd theater In tho winter of 18M). Jesslo Hart lett Davis was Alan-n-Dale, Tom Karl wnB llobln Hood, Holan llertram was Maid Marian, Kugeno CowIch was Scarlet Will nnd Alice Nellsen was Annabel, Vorlly none shall escapo tho mutations of time, even though voice and figure may defy Its rarklng tooth. Auother of tho company it tbut time wan Camilla d'Arvillo. Two are now In vaudeville, two aro In "The Singing Olrl," one threuteiiB to break Into tho legitimate (having but lately been some what dlfiippolnted at tho culmination of ail announced engagement to wed n titled persou who turned out to bo a blackleg), and tho waters of used-to-be seem to have Hosed over tho head of tho big man who led the merry bandits of Sherwood forest when nil wore tho green nnd good old Har- nabco'tt legs and voice wero still service thin and amenable to tho requirements of tho score. The presence during tho woaK in Omaha of Miss Davis, Miss Nollsen and Mr. Cowles called up many tender nnd mtlsfylng reminiscences In tho minds of Omaha theater-goers who can recall tho old company and tho old playhouse, whoso nshes hao Joined tho past, ns well as those of tho once great, nay. greatest, company of lyric singers. Sol Smith Hussoll enjoyed the novel hoiiMitlon of Hieing his own play acted by another man recently at the Columbia theater In WnMilngton. Mr. HtiHsell arrived In town early one week with Mrs, Hus hell, to upend the winter nt tho homu ot his manager, Fred Hergcr. Wedncaduy night ho occupied ii box at the Columbia nnd saw Tim Murphy play his old role of David Holmes In "A Hachiior's Homonce." "This Is tho first time I have ever seen tho play." said Mr. Russell between the nets. "Though I plnyod It for two sea amis. I never before had tho opportunity of seeing the play from In tront of the footlights. It secniB Just UKo a new pro duction to me nnd I am enjoying It thoroughly. Mr. Murphy, 1 understand, never haw mo play the part and so It Is a now creation for him. 1 can detect mnny muall polutR which are new to mo simply because I didn't play them that way, but 1 must say that eery now bit of business Mr. Murphy has Introduced tends to Im prove It. It has been n long tlmo slnco I enjoyed a play fo much." .Mr. Hussoll certulnly seemed to enjoy It, and the kindly smile which Illuminated his countenance nt some original Idea of Mr. Murphy nnd the genial applause ho bestowed upon his successor In tho part constituted In themselves the finest praise Mr. Murphy can receive for his admirable acting. Hlchard Mansfield hns arranged to remain At tho Harden theutcr In New York a week longer than his original engagement, so ho will bo there three weekB more. He CiiiiiIiiu KtriitN. Heginmng with tho matinee this after noon and continuing for four nights, with a matinee Wednesday, the stage of Iloyd's will bo Liven over to Harry Illaney's farce comedy, "A Female Drummer." The scene Is laid In n department store and tho story deals with tho ravages tipon tho susceptible inpsculliio hearts of tho proprietor') of the establishment by n clashing and audacious woman In tho role of a femalo commerclnl traveler, who insists on unloading upon the firm bar largo stock of lingerie. The casto comprises enough people to mako n creditable showing In n department Btoro nnd the staging nnd costuming are at tractive. Tho company comprises about forty people, among them being twenty five pretty women. Tho tltlo rolo Is sus tained by Miss Helen Ityron ns Hnsa liar gain. Miss Helen O'Neill has the part of the gum-chewing girl, Cnrrlo Cash. Some good singing and clever specialties are Introduced and the pleco Is marked throughout by clean nnd vigorous comedy. Ileglnnlng Thursday evening nnd continu ing through Sunday night, with matinees Saturday and Sunday, Kleanor Mcrron's successful rural pluy, "The Dairy Farm," will bo presented nt tho Doyd. In It Is promised u simple, homely story of the loves nnd hates, tho nobler and menner natures, the comic und tragic occurrences that help to make up tho cum of human oxlstencj In rural communities. Among tho characters are tho village miser and his antithesis, the vlllugo pastor, tho blurt old country squire, the peddler and his pretty daughter, tho plowboy In love, tho nmblttouB youth with aspirations beyond those compassed by tho vlllngo limits, n fugitive slave nnd n negress with n flute llko volco that Is n factor In the drnnn. The sceno is laid In tho vlllago of Hurley, N. Y., In the dnys "beforo tho war," and the plot Is said to bo a strango and stirring commingling of the ludicrous nnd pathetic. Tho quaint manners of that remote day, tho old-fashioned costumes nnd strango customs and the beautiful scenery of Ulster county form a delightful setting for this simple but stirring story of rurnl life. Tho underground railway system of slavery days as practiced In abolition communities Is portrayed and tbo anti-slavery mcetlncs that wero popular In that early day aro said to be vividly recalled and reproduced. The bill at Mlnco's Trocodero for the cur ront week will be the "I.lttln travaganzu company, ono of tho biggest uunesque organizations on tho road.

Tho engagement opens with u mntlnco this afternoon. If headliners can bo rolled upon ns nn In dication of the high worth of an attraction, this weuk'H bill at the Orpheum should cer tainly bo a winner. At least three of tho nets havo nt different times been tho star features at Keith's in New York, which Is the highest recommendation that can bo offered. Tom Nawn and his company havo been seen here beforo and left pleasant rec ollections, Nawn possesses a faco full of ster ling Irish character, thnt If he possessed no other qualification would furnish some merit to his efforts. Tom Nawn Is looked upon today as the funniest of Irish character delineators, nnd ho and his company wilt ap pear In "Pat nnd tho Genii," tho lutest ve hicle of their success. Patrlco returns with u brand new play entitled "Tho Olrl In the Moon." It Is. n fairy piny with elaborate light effects and upoctncular scenery. Charles T.

Thomus Jefferson, tho son of Joseph Jefferson, Is liming mJch success In "Hip Vnn Winkle" mid Is drawing overflowing irullelii't'H everywhere. All who huve seen the newest Hip are surprised In Voting Mr. Jefferson'M interpretation of the part. The resemblance between father ami son In thlM character Is remarkable, extending even to the voice, odd tricks of speech and manner. Tho Impersonation Is skilled and artistic and shown a talent that promises easily lo perpetuate the name of Jefferson nt tho bead of all thnt Is best In comedy. It Is said Lulu Glaser will have plenty of opportunity to show her versatility In "Sweet Anne Page," tho new Do Lango-Smlth-Ncldllngcr comic opera, in which fho iiiakeH bur debut as thn star tomorrow night nt Albany, N. Y. The character she assumes Is tbut of n tlvely young woman of sou brettlsh prorllvltlos. During the action of the opera sb wilt lie seen In various ills gtilsen. Including that of tin Irish widow nnd of Pierrot In white faco, llnlf a dozen solos full to tier nnd slut tlgures In duets und other musical lumbers, Mnx Free man, under whose direction the opera Is Mow being rehenrsed, predicts that "Sweet Anne Page" will prove ono of thu season's successes, i music. I The value to a community of the "art" of music Is something which cannot be exactly determined, Tho valuo of the "science" of music to tho student Is something that can be determined with exnetnecs. It Is there foro with a view to a short talk on tho sub ject of the art and science ot music that I tako for my text tho preceding lines, I will divide my Ideas Into propositions as follows: Proposition 1. There Is a difference be tween tbo urt und the science of music. The art of music Ib to my mind tbo art of ac cumulating. Interpreting und illustrating musical scientific facts and giving them life, though tho medium of a soul, which Is In tho person of tho nrtlst. Proposition 2. The art of music con be enjoyed by tho public generally, even though the science of music Is not under stood, but the trouble seems to be that list eners usually have a singular feeling that the science must be comprehended In order to havo tho art enjoyed. Proposition 3. Students delve Into tho science of music In order that the art may bo presented without any statistical puzzles. Tho statistical and didactic part of tho work belongs to tho studio. Tho artistic end Is given to tbo public for Its edification. Proposition 4. Itotnny Is not understood by tho laity, but we nil love flowers. There nro few people who could give tho proper namo of tho most ordinary flower, but who doeB not lovo tho delicate perfume of the violet, the simple beauty of tho pansy, the graceful poise of tho Illy or tho marvelous construction of tho carnation? Wo love flowers for their own takes, and for tho pleasure they give us In sight nnd smell. We do not, howover, even know their names. Botany teaches this, nnd botany unites specimen with specimen and Is tho science which enables tho soul of tho gardener to draw deductions, mix kinds and produco rare and beautiful cren tlons. It is not given to all men to be gardeners, but It Is given to all to Inhale tho fragrance of tho flower. It Is not necessary that ono should understand tho botuny of munlc thnt Is, Its science nor Is It given to all men to be musicians, but all men can enjoy good music. Therefore, to sura up; Let tho average listener assume that the music Is not "be yond him," to uso n prevalent but nbsurd phrase. Let him see If he cannot enjoy tho music, without wishing to understand, or feeling that ho ought to understand tho names of tho notes, or the difference be tween the diminished seventh nnd tho chord of the slxth-nnd-fourth. fler all. what Ib iuubIo us far as the avciago listener Is concerned? Is It nol u ccucourso of sweet sounds so arranged us to be pleasing to the oar? Then why should not one cultivate n tasto for tho best in music, without ranting about "being forced to be educated!" I am fond of po tetoos; cauliflower Is a delight to mo; corn on the cob Is an Interesting, problematic tood, and ns for strawberries and cream why, language falls! Hut 1 must confess I do not decline tueo things becauso, for sooth, I know not tho rules for producing theso things, and to be frank, I don't earn a button for tho knowledge of the "rotation of cropB." Why not let tho public approach music In tho same way? Perhaps at first It may meet with chords and progressions which seem to them unmusical, but what of It? Is music to be condomned therefor? Is the man who made It to bo maligned there for? OHe me the name of the man who en Joy t il his first olive, when hu mistook it for a greengage! Whcro Is tho woman who enjoyed her tlrst cnvlar on toast? People, however, becomo accustomed to theBo things, and bless tbo original Oliver, and the first cnvlarlst. So, music, can bo en Joyed In time. If people will appreciate the truo method at approach. Hundreds of cases can be cited In proof, I know n man who thinks thero Is nothing written that comes up to tho grent chorus nnd trio from "Tho Creation," that num. her so well known and so much sung, "Tho IIcaons Aro Tolling." Yet that man su)n ho does not euro for classic music. Now, here Is a peculiar phacu, nnd It seems to mo It cau bo cxplalued, I bcllevo that man has ut como time been a i:,cinbcr of some social or church circle whcro music won Introduced n good deal, and Instead ot the musicians playing nnd Bluglng for their friends, they "showed off," to ubo a com mon, but forcible term. I am of tho opinion thnt hosts of church slngcra ore hampering tho cause of mualc by turning tbo service Into u recital room or a studio matinee. Keep vocalises and scalo studies out ot tho church services. I have heard quartets of singers sing without sufllclent rehearsal certain affairs misnamed musical anthems, and I have seen the congregation bored to dtath. Why Is this? There was no soul In the composition, and If there was a soul there It would be frozen out, as a rule, A quartet Is Incapable of giving the best results In church music. It Is a delightful and even In many cases necessary appur tenance to a choir, but may the day come soon when It ceases to be the whole choir. In the article on Sims Reeves In last Sunday's Issue the name Mmc, Pattl should havo been printed Mmc, Pntcy. Mme. Patey was tbo 'famous English contralto who died a few years ago. She made a tour of the United States In 1S71. Elbert Hubbard, the man that made East Aurora famous, has Issued n proclamation In his usual forcible style anent the use of tho Hlshop's Voice. It Is .one of the best and most valuable of his precious sayings (or thinkings, If preferable). He deplores tho tendency of young men In the ministry to develop a gruff unnatural voice, bo that one will feel the weight of tho episcopal enunciations nnd denuncia tions when tho neophytes aro elevated to tho high and dignified office. He plcada for more uaturalncss and less concealment of tho real self. From the standpoint of n teacher of the culture and proper use of tho singing volco I would that every vocal student In America could read that article and take It to heart seriously, digesting It three times a day for threo hours ut a time. There Is a prevalent Idea among young singers and budding professionals that the Hlshop's Voice Is a grand thing. And so they cultivate tho great bigness of a tono rather than tho easy, convincing resonance. What Is the result? Faulty enunciation, emasculating of tho conso unnts, a relief to both singer and audience when the song Is over and In many cases the foundation of n serious throat trouble. In a column ot a great dally I cannot utter the anathema of Mr. Hubbard, but I feel It Let the Hlshop's Volco bo excommunicated! Miss Daisy Hlgglns will sing the offertory solo at All Saints' church this morning. Mrs. Frederick Teal will sing "Hosanna," by Granlcr, at tho Westminster Presby tcrlnn church this morning and In the evening u quartet, consisting ot Mrs. Karl Reed, Miss Julia Newcomb, Mr. Charles Detwellor ond Mr. Kratz (director) will sing Krogmann's "Two Angels." Mr. Hutler'a recital nt Trinity last Sun doy was a great success. Dean Fair was almost obliged to vacato his stall on ac count of the tremendous crowd which clam ored for admission and would not be de nied. The best feature of the recital was that Mr. Hutler played u most legitimate program and an educative one, proving thereby that ho hns a mission and that he can fulfill It, becauso his congregation, or audlenco as somo prefer, was not scared away by o high grade program. Let thu good work prosper! THOMAS J. KELLY. Fading and Despondent Women Revitalizid md RelnviEoratod by Or. Greene's Nervura. Mme. Muenteferlng, planoforto studio, 120 N. 2th. Ante Room Echoes.
