To those who seek pleasure nml profit
In playhouses tho final thrco days or the
week mado up amply for whatever of tho
unworthy . might havo preceded this trt
dlurnal treat. Miss Margui-qlta Sylvn, who
hns worked her way from tho ranks by pure
pluck and hard work, has so far established
herself In Omaha that she feels assured
of a largo and kindly disposed audience
whenever It Is her pleasure to appear.
Although sho has found a warm placo In
tho public heart as a swcct-votccd singer
and clever actress, tho tnoro charming part
of ber Is reserved only for the few who
know her personally. For thoush the first
twenty years of her life weru spent In
Belgium sho Is thoroughly an American
girl at heart and during her brief stny of
four years here has converted herself Into
ii cls-Atlnntlo product of tho best type.
Sim has all tho enthusiasm, ambition and
clf-rellnnco, as well as tho beauty, which
at apart tho women on this sldo Of the
water from their less'frce nud gifted sisters
In the older countries.
"Until I was 20 years old," said Miss
Bylvo, In her lmpulslvu way, "1 never took
a stop froin homo without being' ticcoin'
pnnled by n relative or governess. Somn
times my sister nnd I would pursuado tho
attendant to wnlk'n' Llbck behind and then
wo would play wo wero alone and walk
proudly along tho avenue. N'o ono ever
dreamed of u girl" of good family wdrklng
for a living. Young women wero supposed
to dcslro nothing mora than to live idly In
their llttlo elrclo until thuir parents should
suy, 'Hero Is 11 man rich and nublo enough
for our daughter,' und then she Is con
ventionally married.
"Many of my relatives arc very devout
Catholics and several aro In tho Car
mtllto convents, uo that there wus gen
eral consternation when i could hour' no
longer to have every ambition nnd ntlvo
hoped to meet them soon nj,nln.
Among tho pleasant happenings at
Crelghton university every y.ear, dramatic
performances h.ivc always hold a conspicu
ous plarc. At present tho students aro
preparing to sustain this tradition. The
members of the Crelghton Dramatic Circle
are making elaborate preparations for the
production of tho popular drama, "A Cele
brated Case." Tho dato set for tho play
Is December 12. Tho diligent work that Is
being done by an unusually strong cast
under tho direction of tho popular and able
l'rof. Dlncon elves every assurance that
tho stirring Incidents of the plot nnd tho
difficult role of several of the chnractcrs,
for which this drama Is conspicuous, will
bo presented In n crcdltablo manner.
Tho leading character, that of John
Ilenaud the hero, will bu assumed by John
Ilcnnewltz, whoso elocutionary powers nro
peculiarly adapted to tho part. Daniel
Hurley, n f.uorlto nt the university nnd
In tho city ns an amateur, will bo nt homo
In tho j.nrt of Dennis O'Hourko, a truo
son of Krln. Tho difficult and desperate
character of Lnzarc, In his double rolo of
villain nnd counterfeit Count do Morncy,
will be given nn nblo portrayal by James
Woodard.
In fact, tho showing mado In the re
hearsals by tho whole cast Is so promising
that tho members of tho Dramitlc club
aro enthusiastic. Tho samo Is truo of tl.o
Students' Library ntroclntlon, which Is
heartily co-operating for tho success of tho
play, Inasmuch ns tho proceeds nro to go
for tho malntennnco of the library. Thcso
occasional dramatic performances nro tho
principal means of support for the students'
library and reading room, which aro frco

they learned that 1 was rtudylng for tho
Btngo 1 was given up us' beyond redemp
tion. I went back to llrussuls last sum
mer for tho first time In four years und
found all my girl friends married nud scat
tered, some In Russia, sumo ln l'.irls,
"Tho plneo did not look llko home to mo
and 1 was glad to get back to Now York,
for I lovo everything American and only
regret thnt I was not born here. In Hoi
glum tho men aro mora polite, perhaps;
they hurry to open a door or to recover
a handkerchief, but thoy may offer you
seme covert Insult tho next minute. Amer
icans are less given to such llttlo courte
sies, but you know that they feel for ono
a real respect, which Is a far higher com
pliment. Then tho Ilelglnns havo such nar
row, 'petite' minds; they aro not broad
and strong llko Americans.
"You wish to know of my first effort
befora I had learned tho language? It
was ln London, where my mothor had ac
companied me. I had attended tho musical
conservatory nt llrusscls nnd nt a recital
ln London W. S. Ollbcrt noticed my volco
and wus later good enough to pcrsuado
my mothor to allow mo a trial ln opera.
To seo whether It would bo any use he
himself went through tho part of Pygma
lion and I did tho best I could with tho
Galatea. Although I did not know tho
meaning of half the words I had studied
tho part faithfully and managed to plcaso
him.
"Then I went to New York nnd finally
got an engagement as Carmen. That opera
means more to mo than any other and I only
hope some day to bo ablo to go back to It.
It' was so woll suited to my volco and there
Is such a chanco to put ono's best work Into
it. I do not feel so about tho Princess
Chic,"
The engagement which has afforded the
most real pleasure to Miss Sylvn was that
with Alice Nielsen In "The Fortuno Teller."
Bho speaks of Miss Nielsen ln tho most en
thusiastic way as an artist without Jealousy
and a woman of tho most lovable, personal
ity. "During my connection with tho com
pany," said Mies Sylvn, "MIsb Nielsen mado
my life very hnppy. Often sho has taken mo
forcibly and thrust mo out before tho cur
tain. You know what nn Impulsive llttlo
thing she Is? I do not think 'Tho Singing
Olrl' Is ns good nn opora as 'The Fortune
Toller,' but It really gives more chanco for
Miss Nielsen tc show tho merit of her volco.
I was so attached to Miss Nielsen that I
would probably nevor have left her company
It sho had not Insisted upon 'my going into
larccr work."
Although Miss Sylvn has been en tour for
nlno woeks her voice shows not the least in
dication of wear and tear. Sho has sung
often ln nlno performances a week and
on last Sunday had tho first whole day's
rest for six weeks. Her part, ln addition,
is particularly heavy. In order to meet the
constant strain of her work Miss Sylvn
takes exceptional caro of herself. It Is hor
lnvarlablo habit to go at once to her hotel
after tho opera and sho docs not venturn
outdoors when the weather is favorablo.
Her only outdoor recreation Is horseback
riding nnd thl sho has been obliged to
give up for the winter.
It Is this conscientious endeavor which
has brought Mies Sylvn her success and
sho does not regret giving up play In the
furtherance of her art. "I don't mind hav
ing to work hard," said MIbs Sylvn, giving
nn Involuntary gltmpso of her ambition and
oacrgy, "becauBe I feel that each perform
ance advances ono Just a llttlo; don't you
think so?" Her tour will continue until
May, whon she will havo hor play days all
ln a heap '
"My Idea of a good time Is not like thnt
of Homo other stage people," said Miss
Sylva; "I enjoy most of all going out Into
tho country where thero nro plenty of
cows and dogs and horses, and simply going
on larks with my friends."
Whon the profeislonnl Interviewer enrne
to himself at tho end of his visit he felt
with some dismay that ho had forgotton
his mlsrlon. Ho had not evon tnken a
mental note and hud asked nono of thu
questions which he had prepared against
his coming. Miss Sylva's manner had
nothing in common with that of other prima
dounas ho had met. There had been n
friendliness In hor greeting and a genuine
ness In her hospltullty that hnd thrown
him off his guard. Ho managod to remark,
howover, that now that tho princess has
won our hearts It is but her bounden duty
to come often to claim them. Miss Sylvn

Tho production of "Quo Vodls," under the
direction of p. C. Whitney and Edwin
Knowles, which will bo placed on view for
the first time In this city at Hoyd's this
evening nnd will continue Mondny, Tues
day and Wednesday evenlng3 nnd Wcdncs-
any matiee, is likely to arouso interest
beyond tho ordinary, for tho theruo of the
play Is erne that appeals to a large propor
tion of the public who seldom visit a tho
atcr, as well as to every habitue.
Messrs. Whitney and Knowles wero tho
first thcatrlcnl promotors to realize tho
stage possibilities In Slenklowlc's widely
read t.ovcl, and tho Instantaneous success
of the play parallels only that of tho book.
London, New York. Chlcngo, St. Louis, Cin
cinnati, Detroit, Washington and Thlln-
dolphla wero the only cities In tho world
favored by a gllmpso of tho Whitney
Knowles production last season. Ily reason
of an oversight on the part of the author
tho stngo rights to "Quo Vadls" wero
never protected by our copyright laws nnd
ns a result thoro were dozens of feeblo
Imltntlons launched upon the theatrical sea
promptly upon tho announcement of the
great success achieved by Messrs. Whitney
anu nnowics. Few of these survived, how
over, and the stage version made for Whit
ney and Knowles is tho only ono that has
received noteworthy consideration. These
gentlemen nro also credited with giving
me piay nn adequate production, while nil
others depended solely on tho dramatic in
cidents of the book.
To thoso who have rend tho great Pole's
raasterplcco of writing thero Is said to
be little cause for disappointment ln the
stago substitute. It Is declared that It
convoys with oven tnoro telling effect than
the book the terrible martyrdom of Chris
tians in tho daya of pagnn Itomo nnd sun
plleu to tho Imagination what somo minds
may fall to grasp, even with such guidance
ns is given by Slenklowlc's marvelous de
scriptions. To undertnke tho drnmntlzntlon
of so comprehensive a work as "Quo Vadls
Is no idlo task, but It is believed to havo
been discharged with n skill that has
wholly mot tho requirements nnd restric
tions of the stage, at tho same time keep
ing Intact and convincing the story.
Prominent In the big company will be seen
Harry rtoborts, Mnrcus Kord, Joseph Calla
han, Wlllard Newell, George Schacffer,
Wlnnlfred Bonnowltz, Mary Emerson, Ellen
Hill, Grnco Turner, Mao Kearne, Annlo

That facile comedian, William Colllor,
who wns once elected the funniest fellow ln
the Lambs club, a nest of mirthful chaps
of tho stage, Including In Its membership
DeWolf Hopper, Nat Goodwin, W. II. Crnne
and nbout all tho other favorites, has a new
play for this season, which ho will present
at Uoyd's theater uext Friday and Saturday,
giving a matlneo Saturday afternoon. It Is
entitled "On tho Quiet," a namo which Is
mildly Indicative of tho theme of the com
edy, for comedy it is, and of tho cleverest
and most laughter-provoking chnrnctcr. It
treats of tho strategic energy of Itobert
Illdgwny (Wllltnm Colllor), who courts
Agnes Colt, who Inherits J20.000.000 on con
dition that sho marries with the consent
of her family, Hornce Colt, her brother and
guardian, objects to her wedding Rldgway,
but finally consents on condition that tho
lover return to collego and does not see
or communlcnto with his intended for four
yenrs. Tho lovers accept tho conditions,
but ns soon ns tho stern brother's back Is
turned Itldgway Insists to his sweetheart
thnt while ho Is willing to wait four yenrs
for her brother's consent nnd thus save her
tho millions, ho cannot seo his way clear
to waiting so long for his bride. This lends
to a daring hut wholly legitimate subter
fuge on their part.
Mr. Collier Is supported by nn unusually
talented and woll disciplined company. In
tho cnBt, Impersonating the valet of Itldg

The success which has attended Mlaco's

In the meantime, comes tho Dainty Pare
Purleaquers, another big show, which opens
a week's engagement with a matinee this
afternoon. This company carries twenty
beautiful chorus girls and seven of the

MUSIC. t
Thero Is n class of would-bo muslclaub,
or, to use tho better description of a well
known humorist, "muslclaners," which de
serves and receives tho condemnation of all
genuino artists nnd art lovers in tho pro
fession. I refer to the peoplo who d'jery
and denounce musicians who have mado
enviable reputations and who bask in the
sunshine of prosperity. Of courso, this
country Is frco and unlimited, nud Its In
habitants believe in It (even If opposed
soma of them, to tho sacred ratio) and,
among other gifts Inuring from our free
dom, Is the right to criticise, In season
and out of season; but, when criticism
descends to abuse, and comparison gives
way to fabrication of apparently; mnllclous
and certainly mendacious misrepresenta
tion, It seems an honest expression of one's
Judgment on the matter Is demanded, irre
spective of tho aforesaid existing freedom.
'Lot a man go to tho top of tho ladder
and he Is subjected to tho most merciless
attacks of tho people who "also ran." A
good man ln tho musical profession is
usually tho target . of tho multitude of
amnteur arrow-drivers whose weapons, like
those of earlier times, aro tipped with tho
poison of Jealousy nnd driven from the
bow of envy. During my career as tho
musical critic of nn Influential paper I
have been obliged to use somo delicacy ln
discrimination and I havo heard many sides
of one story. I thereforo glvo my vlcws'to
tho Indulgent peoplo who read tho musical
column of Tho Bee, so that "ho who runs
may read."
Tho musician who has "done things,"
who has evolved original "creations," .who
has Interpreted art to tho unknowing, has
his own satisfaction In that ho has done
his duty, and when tho clown saya "Hoop
la!" he can smile, when tho small-bore,
guns shoot, he enn laugh, for ha Is Invul
nerable and when tho thlnk-plant of tho
opposition becomes bankrupt nnd Is out of
tho business ho can be serene and certain
of his own God-given power.
Many music teuchern will realize tho
underlying thought ln theso lines, and will
say with "drowning:
God hns a tow of us whom ho whispers ln
tho ear,
Tho rent nuy renson, and welcome; 'tis wo

Permanent success demands permanent
effort. Lot tho successful man bo re

I hnvo been nslted mnny tlmos why wo
could not hnve n good permanent orcbpstni
In Omaha. I am always ashamed to say
that I know of no Impediment ln tho way.
Omaha should havo n permanent orchestra
and Omaha could havo one. After much
deliberation on tho subject I havo coma
to tho conclusion that the Musical union
cannot furnish a conductor. Let It be
understood that I do not state that tho
union has no conductor whose ability Is
commensurate with tho task. No, I mean
simply this, thero Is, to my mind, no con
ductor ln the union who can unlto the
best, tho very best, Instrumontul forces.
I believe, therefore, that wo must look
outside tho union for a conductor, nnd my
ayo falls nt onco upon Slgmund Lnndsborg,
a musician who possesses great gifts, tal
ent, knowledge, magnetism, enthusiasm and
executive ability. I recommend, therefore,
to tho Musical union, tho name of Mr.
Landsberg n3 tho ono who can lead tho
Instrumental forces to achievement and
distinction.
This Is not done with a view to push
Mr. Landsberg Into promlnonco, for I havo
not even asked him for pormlsulon to uso
his name, and his work as a pianist has
already secured for him nbout all tho local
honors ho requires in his business,
The organization of n permanent or
chestra will necessitate thq genesis of a
supporting fund. This could be secured It
It were looked after. Let tho aspiring
amateurs nnd business music-lovers talk.
This column Is open to dialogue.
It wns my privilege to hear the great
Inncs organization at Lincoln last Tues
day night. Tho band will surprise tho
nrmst members of tho "Inesltes" and
I can truthfully .state that I have never
heard, ln thty country or nny other, a
band whoso ensemble playing was so thrill
ing, so sympathetic or "so surprising.
Mr. Inncs has placed all his brasses ln
tho rear of tho stage and his harpist occu
pies n front rank ln tho orchestral space,
while- n zltherlst is to bo seen ln tho lm
rncdlato foreground. Tho conducting of
Inncs challenges ono's ndmlrntion, because,
oen in tho accompaniments of tho most
difficult rocltatlveB and arias of his solo
UtB, ho nover uses a score. As to his boIo
lsts, spaco Is limited and that prevents
a recapitulation of their morlts, while
tlitlr demerits could be dashed off In a
rlnglo line. Lovers of good music will
bo sure to hear Inncs and his wonderful
organization and will encourage him by
their presence. Inncs hns established a
record for tho best that band Instrumenta
tion can afford and ho deserves the. appro
bation nnd financial support of those whose
mottoes aro "Excelsior" and "Down with
Trash."
If a man or woman In Omaha doubts the
need of nn auditorium he or sho should
ponder over the fact that Lincoln, having
an auditorium, will present a season of
grand opera by the famous people of tho
Metropolitan Grand Opera company of New
York, whose tour Maurice Qrau Is direct
ing. Anyono who knows anything about
operatic conditions knows that Maurlct
Grnu Is tho "Lohengrin" of tho modern
musically dramatic world. Ho Is ably
represented ln the west by Mr. Wlllard
Kimball of Lincoln, who will present nt
tho Lincoln Auditorium, one week from
next Wednesday, a few operas which nre
the pick of tho rcpertolro and which will
be produced with tho special object, on
Mr. Kimball's part, of giving the people
their money's worth. He proposes to pro
sent "Romeo nnd Juliet," tho greatest
emanation from Gounod's facile pen, on
Wednesday afternoon, December 12, and
on tho evening of that day the tlmcworn
but beautiful opera of Donizetti, founded
on tho story of "Lucia d' Lamraermoor,"
will bo given to the public.
This Is an opportunity which tho people
of Omaha cannot afford to loso and musical
Omaha wishes Mr. Kimball success In his
enterprise, although It deplores tho fact
that there Is no auditorium here wherein
to present such n great attraction ns the
superb Orau Opera company, with the In
comparable Manclnelll conducting tho or
chestra. However, Omaha says with tho
English cockney girl: "Never mind! We
'avo 'opes."
Have you bought your brick ln the Omaha
Auditorium?
And now, having digressed n trifle, let
mo glvo tho nnmes of tho artists who appear
at tho Wlllard Kimball presentation of tho
Orau opera season nt Lincoln. In tho aft
ernoon: Mesdnmcs Suzanne Adams, Hauer
melster, Olltka and Strong; Messrs. Edouard

evening: Mesdamcs Ilnuormelstor, Melba
nnd others; Messrs. Cnmpanarl, Crcmoninl,

Mr. Mnnclnclll.
