Tin3 OMAHA DAILY DEE: SUNDAY, XOVEMTVET? 18, 1000. 15 AMUSEMENTS. There will be no change In the manage ment of Iloyd's theater for eomo time to come. Lato ycsterd.iy afternoon papers were signed which kUc Messrs. Woodward & llurgcss the control of this popular play houso for a term of years. Although, the details had been practically agreed upon somo days bro, It was not until Saturday afternoon that tho signatures of tho par ties wero nIDxed to tho document nnd tho announcement of tho arrangement made public. t'ndcr tho new lease a number of Im provements aro to ho raado which will add greatly to tho present appearance of the theater. New carpets arc to bo put In, tho Interior Is to be entirely redecorated, tho foyer nnd lobby fitted with new fur nishings and the chatrn rcupholstercd to correspond with tho color scheme of the Interior. Manager Hurgess will nsk trie best artists of Nov York, Chicago ai'l Omaha to submit plans for tho work and tho ono that best meets his approval and gives promise of producing tho moiit ar tistic effect will bo tho ono that will be adopted when It comes tlmo to make tho decision. As n matter of fact, tho changes that aro now In contemplation will make tho Interior of tho theater seem llko an altogether new place and will Involve tho expenditure of soveral thousands of dol lars, While tho leano stipulates that these Improvements shall bo mado and tho thea ter as a wholo beautified, It goes farther and expressly provides that only high grado attractions shall bo given on Its Htago and that tho house shall bo at oil times maintained as a first-class place of amusement. While this clauso was probably unnecessary, In view of tho fact that tho present managers will retain con trol of tho place, It Insures tho contlnu unco of tho samo high standard of amuse ments that have hern given on Its stage In tho past. It would seem that tho owner of tho thcatHr and the lesiices aro to bo mutually congratulated on tho consum mation of an arrangement so favorablo to both parties. Omaha playgoers havo no Just catiso for complaint over tho character of tho attrac tions that havo been presented thus far In tbo present season, and Manager Uur gess Is entitled to tho thanks of tho cn tlro community for tho effort ho has mado to give tho patrons of his house tho best of everything that can bo secured. Not only havo the attractions, with a few ex ceptions, been wholly unobjectionable from tho standpoint of tho purist, but thcro has been a pleasing variety as well, and tho tastes of evcryono Beem to havo been taken Into consideration In making tho bookings. Tho plays that wero notoriously wretched havo been fow, nnd none of them was given hero for tho first time. Their Intrusion Into tho Boyd, while deplorable, Is easily forgiven In view of tho rarity with which they havo mado an appearance, and of tho furthor fact that tho good attractions havo been of more than ordinary excellence. Managers nnd producers In the east have evldontly been plucking straws and havo learned whero sets tho wind. With tho oxcoptlon of tho rovlval of "Sapho" by Nethorsolo and of "Zaza" by Lesllo Car ter, not one of tho season's offerings hn. been objected to by the reputable critics of the New York press. Public favor seems to havo set the seal of its condemnation on tho prurlout and pornographic drama and it has passed from the boards of rep utabjo theaters. May it never couo back. l.ulu Olaser's now opera, "Sweet Anna Tage," was given Its first production at the Kmplro theater In Albany, N. Y., last Monday night nr.d scored an instantaneous hit. In tho nnmo part Miss Olaser Is said to havo found a rolo which affords her ample opportunity for tho exercise of thoso raro talents that attracted so much favor ablo attention when sho was leading woman with Francis Wilson, and which will mako her tho peer of nny of the comic opera stars of tho present day. Tho book of the new piece, which is by Louts do Lange and Edgar Smith, Is said to he brimful of bright witticisms and clever verse, nnd tho muslo by W. II. Neldllnger Is pronounced as good as tho libretto. After expending n considerable sura- $20,000 Is tho Ilguro given out Llobecr & Co. havo Bholvcd Langdon Mitchell's dra matlzatlon of his father's novel, "Tho Ad ventures of Francois," In which Mr. Homy R. Dlxcy has been cast as a star. Mr. Mitchell, who Is a young man, without much dramatic experience, refused to al low certain chauKC3 to bo mndo In hit) manuscript. Tho night of tho Initial pro ductlon the experienced eye of tho man ager detected serious flaws which retarded tho nctlon at critical moments. Only a moderate success at first, this play could havo been made Into one of tho great hits of tho season, and tho years of experience hard, solid experience, gained at great rxponse possessed by this manager could havo trimmed this prolix piny Into proper proportions. Having expended such u sum lie considered he had tho right to mako any necessary alterations In u work for which ho expected to pay handsomely. "No," said tho author. "This play Is tho artistic creation of my own brain. You shall not mutilate It. That would be sacrilege." And bo this experienced manager, after vainly endeavoring to reason with this hot headed, Impetuous, Inexperienced play wrlght, decided not to throw good money after bad. "Off with tho play," he ordered. "In Its present shapo It Is n failure and I will havo no more of It." So "Tho Advon turen of Kraneolb" hus been withdrawn and Langdon Mitchell, tho author, Is de prived of royalties which would probably havo amounted to $15,000 during this sea son. As n result of the affair this manager has announce that never ngaln will ho te - A RARE BREW. 1 BLATZ brand, of possesses llavor so pe culiarly good that It has gained a most on viable reputation.

Mr. Mansfield will travel with n much longer train than when ho was playing repertoire. The forty suits of armor can not bo folded anil made compact, so that each suit will bo provided with n special crate. The armorial outfit, therefore, will very nearly fill a car. Tho six papier macho horses used In tho tableaux of the battle of Aglncourt will cat up moro room than they would hay If they wero alive. Then there aro the crntes for tho fur niture, tho battle flags, tho pikes, shields, helmets, picks, battlo axes nnd other war llko paraphernalia used by the soldiery. Tho calculations are, that tho production will require a train of ten cars. Thero will bo two baggage carloads of trunks, In cluding tho personal trunks of tho play ers, which will go to tho hotels, and the costume trunks, which will go to the dress ing rooms: two sixty-foot baggago car loads of scenery, a carload of armor In crates, a carload of properties and fur niture, three sleeping roaches for tho com pany and Mr. Mansfield's prlvato car. This Is what William Winter of the New York Tribune says of Joseph Jefferson In "flip Van Winkle": Perhaps the nerfeetlnn of .Tinti .TrfYer. son's noting Is seen In tho weird and beautiful Interview with tho ghosts.

Then suddcnlv tlm Htiell Is broken. shouts of Kotil'n laughter resound over tho echoing mountain, tho moon Is lost In strug gling clouds, the specters glide away nnd slowly vanish and Kip Van Winkle with the drowsy, piteous murmur. "Don't leavo me, boys," falls Into his mystic sleep. M. Mycrfeld, Jr., president of tho Orphcum Circuit company, spent several days of last week looking over tho local situation. Ho expressed much satisfaction with tho busi ness done at tho Crelghton-Orpheum so far this season and thinks tho season's returns will bo satisfactory. Mr. Mycrfeld left for the east Friday, and before returning hero on his way homo to San Francisco will visit New Orleans, whero ho Is constructing a new theater to add to his circuit. Co ml ii k KvrntK. Julia Marlowe, who, as Barbara Frletchlo, In Clydo Fitch's play of that name, achieved ono of tho very genuine successes of last season, comes to lioyd'a theater Monday evening, November 19. Clydo Fitch's Ilar- bara Is nn altogether different personage from tho herolno of Whlttler's poem. Sho Is a beautiful young daughter of a leading family of Frederick, Md., nt a time, In 1S62, when the town was occupied by federal troops. It Is In the last act of the piny that tho lines of Whlttler's poem are realized to some extent. In tho first act Barbara becomes be trothed to her union lover, in spite of his being a Yankee, nnd tolls htm how tho old flag has been torn down In rags from tho balcony polo at the outbreak of tbo war After tho comedy sceno tho lovers plight their troth, but Barbara's father orders tho union captain from her sight forever. She resolves to olope and tho Becond act shows her at tho minister's houso In Hagcrstown, whero tho wedding Ib to bo solemnized. Hero sho places tho Btars and stripes over tho captain's heart as a wedding gift. In tho third act ho Is brought, wounded and dylne, to Frletchle's homo. In tho fourth and last act tho captain dies. The sceno shifts to the outside of thp houso and tho crowuea siago piciuro or ino play is re vcalcd "Stonewall" Jackson's reception by his soldiers and tho populace. Barbara unfolds the flag from her lover's breast Old "Stonewall," as In the poem, orders nono to shoot. Then the sensational climax ot tho play's story occurs and the curtain falls. Tho successful comodv with thn km gestlvo title, "A Wlso Woman," will be pro- Bonicu at iioyns tncater Tuesday, Novem ber 20. This piece has been Been hero before and Is recalled as n legtttmato comedy, abounding In sparkling wit am pleasing nltuations. It will bo presontei by a well balanced company, at the hca of which Is Miss Ann Scalfo, who has s growing reputation as n clever and tnlente. comedienne. Tho nlot is Mnht nnri nimv but tho Incidents nnd complications uro decidedly nmusing and full of breezlness. Tho first-part minstrel sceno of Prim rose 4c Dockstader's minstrels, which nppcar nt tho Boyd theater Wedues duy night nnd at tho Wednesday afternoon matinee, has been described as the pret tiest of the many pretty scenes presented by minstrel companies. Tho company Is nttired In orango costumes, whllo tho scenic accessories are said to bo finer than anything heretofore attempted. Everything Is rich, graceful and elegant. Thero is ono new act, Introduced by Mr. Prlmroso entitled "Sunny, Sunny South," which re quires threo magnificent scenes that aro works of tho highest art, Ono represents a southern bayou, with an old Bteamboat sunk Into the sand, covered with tangled vines; another a cotton Held ablazo with the beautiful white balls and extendrug to a river that winds lazily off toward dls taut hills, and tho last nn old southern cabin, veiled in vines and protected by tho snaaows or Pig trees. Tho electric and calcium efTects aro mado to represent sun rise, midday twilight and dreamy moon light. Ono of tho striking features of tho entertainment will bo Mr. Dockstader's Impersonations of McKtnley, Bryan, Hanna, Kooseveu ami otticr political leaders bpeaklng from tho rear of a Pullman coach " 'Way Down East," which will be given for tho ilrst tlmo hero nt the Boyd theater Friday nnd Saturday nights, with a matinee Saturday afternoon, Is tho samo play that for over two years crowded tho Mauhattan theater nnd Academy of Music In Now lork. It Is to bo given with a great cast elaborate scenery, tho famous snowstorm that Is one of the sensations of tho piece, una every accessory that has mado It so popular elsewhere. It has been said of this piny that Is makes tho heart beat faster, nnd that Its nppeal Is aimed straight at tho heart of the healthy, right-minded man or woman. Tho best evidence of this Is that It has received tho endorsement of hun dreds of clergymen and school teachers and others who nro not usually classed as thcater-gocrs. In It tho samo people aro found who havo been seen In other Nelv England plays, but their motives are changed. Tho story Is graphically devel cped In a way to bring out Its moral lesson with the utmost pathos. At Mlaco's Trocadero tho Parisian Belles appear tnis atternoon for a week's engage ment. Hie snow includes ten funny men, II f teen pretty and talented women, a won altli ot special tcenery and costumes to dazzle mo eyes ui u sioic. a special Icaturo w Ik supplemental to the rierformun t-lvr. tho Parisian Bolles la tho great polyscopo moving pictures snowing scenes nt Oal tlon during the storm. Thcso pictures of historical interest. In view of thn ea aro fact that the Oalveston .storm attracted attcn tlon irom tne entire civinzeu worm, series has Just been completed and The has never before been given public exhibition. Manager Rosenthal secured this attraction at nn expense which at first thought seemed almost prohibitive, but believing the at traction to warrant tho outlay, ho took tho chances. So tho pictures nro now here nnd will bo teen for tho first tlmo nt Mlaco's Trocadero this afternoon. In nddltlon to tho Galveston pictures thero will also bo others, showing a Grand Army of tho Re public parado, a floral parade, an automobile parade, an exact .'eproductlon of the Mil waukee) tiro department enrouto to a fire a marvel In photography and electrical mechanism. A search through newspaper flics, old programs nnd several books devoted to the stage nnd Its people reveals the somen bat astonishing fact that Julia Marlowe, al though a young woman, has nppeared In no less than thlrty-threo different roles. The completo list, In chronological order, Is as follows: 'horns singer In a Juvcnllo production of "Pinafore," Sir Joseph Porter In a Juvenile production of "Plmunre."

Tho Orphcum will present a notnblo bill for a week commencing with a mntlnco to day. Somo of tho faces aro familiar, while others are strangers; but they aro said to bo good, and have been established as favor ites In othor spheres. Tho Willis troupe of musicians has played In only a few cities In America, but sluco tho family Is a favor- Ito organization In England nnd Europe something pretty good may be expected from It. In tho family thcro nro threo men and two girls, and their vcrsaltty as musicians may bo Judged from tho fact that they In troduce In tho neighborhood of thirty In struments during their performance. Hal Davis and Inez Macuuley scarcely need an Introduction. During their long engagement with tho Woodward Stock company In this city they contracted tho friendship of thea ter-goers and aro assured a big reception. Tho vchkle of their bucccss Is tho work of Will M. Cressey ami Is entitled "One Christ mas Eve."

Tho following talo of two Octobers will perhaps be of Interest to tho readers of tho musical column of Tho Beo Just at this particular time, when ho who has not for his watchword "Auditorium" Is considered a degenerate and a shrimp. Many Ideas nnent nn auditorium havo been suggested and It remained for Di rector Paffenrath to Improve upon Tho Beo musical critic's Idea of "bricks" Instead of "buttons," as set forth below. Ho will havo real mlnlnturo bricks. Of course thoro aro many dlfforlng Ideas as to what kind of an auditorium needs. Provision should be made for the concerts by local agencies and for tho lectures which aro now given In churches, Tho church should not bo a concert hall or a dining hall, nor yet a secular lecturo hall, to my thinking. Ot courso that Is only an opinion and the country Is free. Therefore wo need a hall where these things can bo properly taken care of, a hall with a reasonably sized organ, whereon recitals could bo given for a charge of 5 cents n person nnd music aud art would be encouraged to flourish. If It Is possible, tho musical and artistic sldo of Omaha should bo given somo con sideration In tho nudltortuin scheme. If it Ib not possible wo will urge tho auditorium commltteo to give us another hall for a dessert and meanwhile wo will bo ablo to thank our constellations that with a largo auditorium wo can hear grand opera for a reduced prlco and, perchance, have Sou3i for a week's stand. Tho artlclo which appears first In this tale of two Octobers, which follows, was written for Tho Sunday Beo of October 1 1SS9, and wns specially designed for the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben: Thcso knights and vallnnt gentlemen have done much to advance the Interests ot this pluco In which wo aro all citizens und thev aro doubtless prepared to do more. It will now bo only a matter of time until thcro will bo created In this town an auditorium to milt till purposes, Why not now? The Untchts will ere long be obllced to ntiandnn their somewhat barren looking den and thn tlmo now Is wlnm they should hnve a verltaoio ensue, u uieso gentlemen snould start a popular subscription for thu erec tlon of a building down town to bo called Al:.Sar-l)en Cast o and dovoto thereto that energy which Iiuh nlwayn hitherto brought them to Biccess Omaha would havo uome thing long needed, The Den Ih Inaccessible to a degree and a castle down town would Im a great boon. Let It be built with a front of castlc-llkn appearance, lnsldo of It a largo tloor. suitable for the Initiations, exercises, functions, partl-s, etc., nf the knights, also for a drill floor for our Thurston Klfles, Omaha Guards, cadets and others, who would no doubt have their armories In the building, on nn upper floor. This place could then be Used for band concerts by the great band's of the country, wuere a nost oi peonie coum uo ndimucii nt a low price, thereto making It possllilo ior tne engagement to result proiunniy. ; Hero could n'so bo given llower shows. : ugrlcjltural displays, horie shows and 1 iMZiirs. Hero would bo held all tho con-1 veiuions visiting ino iowh aim many couiu be had now, without nny doubt, If thcro. wero a pluco lurgo cnougn to contain a crowd. Tho auditorium for Bmaller events could he arranged for In conjunction with this, The auditorium could bo used for concerts of nil kinds, recltn'.s, lectures, amateur per formances nnd, perchance, the Womnn's club would make that ulaco Its uermuncnt headq.inrters. on thn upper floors a scries ' of stilillns anil clnss rooms would lie a I source nf Incomo nnd would lie n godsend to ino musio leactierH oi too city na wen ns 10 the nrtlMtn, for whom tho nor'.'.i trout could be reserved . . Tho Initiation fees of the Knights of AU-Bar-Ben for one vear would bo a milcndld start toward the erection of their new hnimi and n monster notiulnr suliscrlntlon could, with their recommendation, bo or-1 ganized, livery cniiii couiu be provided with a quantity of small, red tickets, each i one representing a tincK to no p acea in tho wnlls of the ciXtlo of Ak-Sar-Ben. Theso bricks could cosily be sold for 25 cents each nnd every child would feel a personal Interest In helping to build tho great castle. A prl2? would be donated by somo of our storekeepers for the five chil dren selling the most tickets, For the older -people a ticket of rojgh gray enrd board could be provided, each ticket repre senting a stone to be placed In the front walls and each stone to cost the purchaser $1. With the co-operntlon of the press and tne miguty lnnnenco increot, togetner witn the push of the knlghtii, It would not be long until the people of Omahn, the people themselves, would have erected a worthy monument, which In Its turn would be made to pay a rair revenue 10 wio ivnignis or Ak-Sar-Ben. to bo used for tho good of the city. Let not theso remarks be taken as an Impertinent Interference with the busi ness or tne valiant Kiiigni.i, oucn is not tno intention. And now. In October, 1900, Is itsued a circular which seems an echo from the Octo ber of 1690, and which is headed "Tho Omaha Auditorium Company of Omaha, Neb." Is It possible or Is It a dream? No, we nro convinced that It Is a reality when we look over tho names of tho directorate. And this Is what Is stated amongst other Import ant Items In tho circular; , Tho nudltorlum will bo used for manu facturers' exhibits, trades cxhlbltB, home patronage exhibits, agricultural exhibits, fat Btock shows, stock growers' exhibits, blooded stock sales, horso shows, political musH meetings, national conventions. Btato conventions, county conventions, city con- ventions, great uunti concents uruim oiirra events, great spectacular Bhows, military tournameiitH, athletic tournaments, great lecture events, Sjndny religious as semblages, religious conventions, educa tional conventions, charity bazars, flower Bhows, poultry shows, dog shows, wild west shows, bicycle shows, winter circus, midsummer concerts, great ik lltlcat banquets, electrical arts exhibits, Masonic conclaves, Knights of Pythlns con claves, llva Btock conventions, dairymen's conventions and many others which Omaha has always been witnout uccnuso it mis had no placo In which to hold them. Tho structure will bo in Blzn 132x2M feet, covering one-half of a city block. It wilt lm nrnntlpnt'v ilrenroof. handsome In ap pearance and embody the most modern con veniences required ny an entases oi ex-hlbltorH-nlso for seating, lighting, heating and ventilating. Tho main lloor will b about two feet above tho blde.walk level. A gallery will encircle tho entire audience room nnd a grand promenade will bo an lmiHirtant feature. It will be artistically decorated, brilliantly Illuminated and pro vided with numerous exits. It will have a seating capacity of about 10,000 people and tho nrena, which will be un Important feature, will bo about 90x180 feet. It has been practically decided now to abandon the idea of a building for studios, offlces, small concert or lecture hall, etc., but that does not remove the fact of the necessity therefor. Neither docs It dis sipate tho fond hopo of n homo for music and the other flno arts. That will como also. If not in this auditorium scheme, It will In another. With this one built the need for the other will nppcar. Tbereforo It la but right to "boost" tho present auditorium scheme for all It Is worth and leavo the detailed plans for time to adjust and promulgate. Tho hopo of a choral society has again been revived In tho hearts of Omaha people and all wo need Is a sentiment. If one can create a sentiment for a commodity tho success Is sure. Sentiment Is laughed at by many of our business men, but let It be understood sentiment la what pays. Let n choral society sentiment bo created and It will pay. Tho money will come. Tho ma terial Is here. In tho town of Kearney, Neb., thcro Is n musician, an artiste, who has worked earnestly and faithfully and who Is now earning her laurels, If ono Is to Judge by a rocent copy of tho Kearney Hub. Nebraska has many bright musicians amongst tho fair sex and Mrs. Hull, to whom I refer, Is a leader. Sho Is doing a good work In Kearney and her students attest her ability. Mr. Butler has received from Mr. Sutorlus an article which appeared In a Minneapolis paper recently. It of courso does' not glvo credit to Tho Beo or Its musical critic for tho article, but states that nn Omaha organist Is being teased by his friends about matrimony nnd then prints tho numbers which appeared on Mr. Butler's program, when tho "Bridal Song" was followed by "Save Me, O God." Mr. Sutorlus sayn: "Although no namo is men tioned. I feel sure that you are tho organist alluded to." Now Mr. Butler and his recitals nro being advertised far and wide. The anthem at the First Methodist church this morning will bo "Our Soul on God with Patience Walts" (Garrett), Mr. McCrcary taking the tenor solos. THOMAS J. KELLY. Mme.

The grey hair, the sunken cheek are upon us ere we know it, while we cling:, with bated breath, at the feet of Fate, begging for life. That Is not the way to obtain health.
