TTIE OMATIA DATLT BEE: STIS DAY, FEIVRVAHY .1. 1901. 15 AMUSEMENTS. ft Nothing at the local theaters during the? last week calls for comment further than already Riven. It Is not in discussions of tho last week's doings, anyway, that th ater-Roers will find Interest, hut In what Is to come this week tho engagement of Mine Dcrnhardt and M. Coriuelln, who arc to glvo us "I.a Tosca." llernhardl Is con sidered very generally to bo tho greatest living tragedienne, while Coquclln Is France's lending exponent of tho dramatic art. Therefore the opportunity which Is to ho offered on Turmlay night is one rarely presented and one that will bo pretty well tukon rdvantago of. Judging from the ad vance sale of seals for the engagement. When this salo first opened there were few people falling over one another to get choice Bouts and at thu end of the first day any number of desirable seats were to be had Tho demand has been steady, though, and there 1m no doubt but what tho great fitnrs will bo greeted on Tuesday night by nn audlenco limited In size only by the ca pacity of lioyd's theater. This Is roqucl'fl'R first visit to Omaha, but Mine Ilernhurdt has on two termor ccra Mons before graced the local stage with her prr.Htt.rn. She first appeared here In 1SS7 ni the old Ilod opera house. Her engagement was for three performances, and, although at that lime she was considered nno of the world's great actresses, idle appeared before audiences rathT Ind If' rent In size. Her necond visit was In February, 1802. She ap peared at lioyd's new theater for ono night only, and her offering was tho same piece that sh Is to play Tuesday night "I.a Tosca." The audlenco which greeted hei wns one of tho largest ever nsacmblod to ne'her In Omaha. Although tho piece was done entirely in French, not nn F.ngllsh word be. tig spoken from thotnge during the performance, every ono seemed to gj away from the theater pleased. After the performan"o Mint. Hernhardt accompanied by her manager, Henry II. Abbey, called upon K. Kosowntcr nt Thft lleo olllce anil were shown the workings ot a great nowspaper oinco nt the busy mid night hour. Tho great tragedienne was dn llghtid with the beauty of the building, which was brilliantly Illuminated In honor of her visit, and expressed her Interest and admiration In tho most charming French phrase and manner. There Is not n llttlo disappointment In Omaha that Hernhardt Is to play "La Tosca" here, l'eoplo wanted to sco "I. Alglon." Wo are put off with a plea that tho syndicate; tinder whoso direction tho local theater Is Intends to bring Maud Adams hero with the English version of tho Kostand play and that were Hernhardt to produce the play hero now It would destroy tho businesH for Adams. This very fine spun reason falls in two easily, for at Kansas City "lAlglon" Is put on and from thero tho sconery Is shipped direct to Den ver, where the plcco will again bo pre sented. In both these cities tho syndlcato Is In control nnd it Is singular that tho busi ness of Omaha should be deemed so sensi tive while In tho others tho managers are willing to take tho risk of a Hernhardt production affecting the receipts for an Adams performance. Last spring Omaha had another similar experience, when Irving ml Terry gavo us "Shylock" Instead of the "ItobeHplerro" wo wonted. This was, of course, disappointing, but not so much so as the present Instance, for tho dlvlno Sarah has given us "La Tosca" before and l'annle Davenport nnd Illanche Walsh havo made us qnlto familiar with tho horrors of the Sardou notion of how to Inculcate" a moral lesson through an exhibition of so mil' h that Is base In mankind. While Horn liardl will undoubtedly glvo us a most Im pressive portrayal of the several emotions of love, Jenlousy, anguish, hope, despair nnd resignation, the mnln Interest In tho performance will center around the Scarpla of Coquclln. Ho is well known to Omaha people by reputation as n comedian nnd to nee him in tlio role of the cruel, crafty Italian minister of police will be tho desire of moro people than would bo attracted solely by tho Hernhardt name. They cannot play tho old sjlays these new actor men nnd women who havo been com ing to us with reproductions or revivals of plays made familiar by snmo one of the old guard. Quito ncently n notable example of this was given In Omaha when Mr. Keenan tried to Interest people in n revival of "Poor Relation " It is no reflection on Mr. Keenan's ability that ho failed. He Is un questionably n clever artist, but Ills man ager makes n serious mistake In seeking to rloiho his star In the cast-off raiment of nnother. Sol Smith Uussell might havo failed, even as did Mr. Keenan. had tho latter created tho part of Noah Vale and then the former essayed its lines and bus iness. In time a generation may grow up which will know nothing of tho man who mndn tho poor lnventer's woes and win nings a part of himself, anil then, perhaps, another may get a hearing in "Poor Hcla tlon." Why, though, should thero be any attempt i DEATH fo the germi means health to humanity.

To be sure, people will go to hear tho old plays, Just like they stop to hear the old songs, but thero Is not the satisfaction, cither for tho actor or the auditor. For the ono cannot help feeling the comment of contrast tho other Is sure to make, and thus both suffer through the comparison. Tho moral to It all Is that an actor should be too ambitious to allow him self to wtar second-hand another man's character. He should as llcf wear the oth er's cast-off clothing. It seems that Omaha theater-goers orw not tho only ones who have to put up with tho smudgy advertising pamphlets that are handed out to patrons of tho different local playhouses and that by common courtes only nro called programs. New York, Bos ton and others of the large eastern cities seem to be compelled to suffer the same nultanco, Judging from soino of tho caustic artlclfs anent this subject which havo re cent y found their way in'o tho press of that section. Says the New York Times: A collection of programs of this sort, and there ono has attended the performances presented, especially if the period covereil Is fifteen or twenty years, cannot hut bo of tare value and Interest to the possessor. A program should be n souvenir, nnd I krow I should, nnd I believe many others would, havr made a collection of programs on tint stone lines us my ut'iitmlntnnre If irom a insteriu or artistic point or view tho nvernxe program of todav or yester day was worth the preserving The old lime bill of tho play stands In dlgnltlcd contrast with the smutrhy Inked ndvertlse Ing sheet, In which the program Is an Incident, to which the theater or opera goer must at present submit. 1 believe this Is hitting pretty hard nt a certain Held of advertising which has been developed largely of late years, but renlly 1 don't think the average theater-goer wants the subjects of hair dve, pickles and corn remedy obtruded upon his notice when he If comfortably enscounred In an expensive sent ready to Indulge In an artistic feast. I respectfully beg to suggest a reform and tho $2 theaters can afford It. Let the progrnm be a souvenir no advertising. If necessary ,u nominal charge of ,1 or B rents ran be made, if advertising there must tie, make it so the advertising matter ran be detached, and tho program pre served In Its Integrity ns a truo bill of the play. Tho New York Dramatic Mirror dis courses upon the same subject thuswlae: The so-called theater program that Is Imposed upon the public Is but nn Incident among many incidents that are natural to tho commercializing of tho theater. It Is but one of the many schemes of the trad ers that control the theaters for revenue only. The essential features of this con trol and Its results are dally becoming better understood by the theater public, which, nfter bearing Imposition after Im position, evidently Is awakening to the facts nnd In some recent cases Iran had tho spirit to apply tho remedy. The Council Bluffs Dramatic club will present "Tho Charity nail" at the Dohany theator In Council Bluffs Friday evening, February 15. Tho piece, which Is nno of Charles Frohman's successes of a few years ago, hns been staged and rehearsed under tho direction of Miss Lillian Fitch of this city and tho performance will bo watched with Interest by this young woman's local friends and admirers, as It Is practically her first effort of this kind. Tho'proceeds of tho performance will go to a Council Bluffs hospital. ('limine Kvrnts. . ;In "Arizona" Mr. Augustus Thomas has written what critics have pronounced a success. It teems with llfo and nctlon, the dash of cowboy frolics and military i duties. In his treatment of story, char Inctcr and details Mr. Thomas has been ' notably realistic, even to the picturesque swear-words of a young Mexican vaquero, who had absorbed his limited vocabulary of English from' his crude, surroundings, learning tho bad with the good. Tho scenery and dressing of the play aro complete and accurate to the minutest detail. "Arizona" will bo presented at Boyd's theater tonight, tomorrow night and at a matinee today. Mr. Itobcrt Downing will be seen In an entirely now production of a now play called "The Seventh Commandment." Tho piny comprises many phases In a profes , slonal career which aro seldom taken jp , by dramatists. There Is not a vulgar sltua j tlon or lino throughout tho plcco and tho I comedy element Is well supplied by a 1 French maid nnd nn Irish valet. The en gagement is far two nights and Saturday i matinee, commencing February 8. I This week's bill at tho Orphcum will bo j ono mado up mainly of comedy acts and u roaring show Ib promised. Five of the seven specialties upon the program aio comedy turns, thereforo the performance should bo productive of an nbundance of laughter among tho audiences who wlt I ness It. Dlgby Dell, tho former comic opera and comedy-drama Btar, who has but recently I entered tho vaudovlllo field, Is by no means ;a stranger to local patrons of tho theaters, i lie hns always been a favorlto here, having I established himself as such by his clover work as a comedian during his first visit to this city many years ago. In vaudo vlllo ho offers a monologue act entitled, "The Information Bureau." The Hawthorn I sisters, who aro said to be beautiful as I well ob shapely young women, are to ap pear In a musical skit named "Tho Willow 1'attcrn Plate." Musical Dale, about whom so much has been published regarding his bell playing, will be another feature of tho program. Lottlo Oladstone, chango artist; Al and Mamie Anderson, In tho "Coon nnd tho Cherub;" Mndcna and Stanton, far ceurs, and the klnndromo picture machine will make up the bnlnnce of what promises to bo an entertaining bill.

MUSIC. An article on "Tcachlnc" has recently been handed to mo by Mr. Joseph (lahm, who wns so much struck bv the strength of tho contents that ho wishes the students of Omaha to receive tho benefit thereof. On reading the said article over 1 havo been much Impressed by tho plain, direct lutein cence which tho writer has niinlled to the subject In hand and 1 preface his rcmnrks- tho best of which I must limit this article to on necount of limited snace by stating that tho writer thereof Is Ernst Perabo, the well known and distinguished Boston teacher of tho piano, and eminent virtuoso. "Teachers aro to a nation what roots arc to tho trees. No moro serious task con fronts a teacher than the placing of im portant information accurately and wisely upon tho tender, gentle, grateful nnd sensi tive Dlvlno tablet, that silently directs de cisions and events. Tho development of the mind requires Blow growth, assisted by tho warm sun of affection and guided by con scivativo teachers with honest nnd Ideal conceptions, who understand how to so load its precious cargo that it may not shirt during life's tempestuous vicissitudes. Tho old masters hao furnished, for this great end, not only tho solid food, but also the choicest delicacies, and have dono this bo lavishly that all great composors subse quently have drawn upon their Immortal treasury. Beautiful piano playing is a great art, to which people, bring various qualifica tions. To gather these into one method is not possible and the teacher must bo guided by Individual conditions. Certain methods have becomo 'fads, which bcllttlo both tho pupil nnd tho teacher, lending more to busi ness nnd 'standing' than to the truth and understanding. Moderato practico, with caro nnd thought, Is preferable to closo ap plication of from six to twelve hours a day, as somo late teachers are advocating. As tho first and gentlo pressuro gives tho rich est wine, bo the highest information Is most deeply rooted when quarried for without great strain or fatigue. Tho groove of a corroct habit Is a graceful, poetic mold, gradually and lovingly shaped, not, llko a hole, to bo dug and hammered out me chanically. It Is not well to put pupils back, owing to differing with previous ad visors. When valuable information has al ready been gained let us rather bo grateful to those who havo thus facilitated our labors." Thero Is a vast amount ot truth In what Is i-ald In this article concerning "methods." Tho word "methed" Is responsible for many Ills In tho study of music. As Mr. Perabo so aptly says: "Certain methods have bo como 'fads' which bcllttlo both the pupil and the tenchor, leading moro to 'business' nnd 'standing' than to tho truth nod under standing." Mr. Beetmoyer uses the Trnlskl method! Mini), b'olongskl 1b the leading disciple of tho Vcrdante-Grncla method! Herr vou Vogclsplel teaches tho famous Bricaban method! While It Is true that In splto of all this "method" crazo some excellent re suits have been attained It does not follow that a "method" student is necessarily thw budding promise of a great artist. The teachers of today ore beginning to see that the art of singing and the art ot playing nro not matters which can ho learned by the application of fixed and un nlto.able rules, Irrespective of temperamont. Individuality is tho secret of success In tho teaching of today. What will suit ono case will fall In the next. Happy Is ho who ac cumulates knowledge from all good sources and uses It with discrimination. Tho many friends of Mrs. Frances F. Ford will unite with mo in congratulating her upon her success In securing tho posi tion of organist In ono of tho leading churches of the Presbyterian denomination In Philadelphia. Tho following Interesting Hues concerning tho city in which she bus taken up her residence give a good idea of Its musical llfo: "This Is a moro musical city than I had expected. We havo everything there Is, Just now It Is the opera season. Damrosch with Nordlca, Ternlna, Schumnnn-Helnk, Bispham, Van Dyck yes, and tho I)e Heszkcs. Tho Boston, Philadelphia nnd Pittsburg orchestras all play here this month, and MncDowoll plays ono of his own concortos with tho Philadelphia orchestra early In February. Tho church musical service, except in tho Episcopal churches, Is-relegated universally to tbn quartet. The organists aro a gcod well-o-iulppcd lot of men nnd women, ns I have seen nnd heard them, and thero aro somo beautiful Instru ments here." Speaking of organists reminds mo that at tho Victoria memorial servlco to bo held hero today at the First Congregational church, four organists will piny, each of whom was born under tho British flag. Mr. Walter Young of tho First Congregational church. Mr. Slmma of All Saints' church Mr. Butler of Trinity cathedral and tho or ganist of tho First Methodist church, ho who Indites theso lines. Tho complication Is a dangerous ono. tho last two mentioned being Irishmen and tho first two English men. It Is to be hoped that England and Ireland will reconcile their differences for ono afternoon, however. I havo always heard that Philadelphia was behind thetlmes. In many ways, and much fun has been poked nt It on account of its nlleged slowness. This is borne out by tho statement of Mrs. Ford that tho music of most of the churches Is relegated to tho quartot. I hope to hear from Mrs. Ford In about a year and I will then find that Phil ndolphla has succumbed to her enterprise and push, for she has had enough western experience to mako her a valuable acquisi tion to any community which Is "a little backward In coming forward." Tho appearance of Sousa was the one great musical event of the week, nnd as the concerts were given an exhaustive review In tho subsequent tssuo of The Bee, It Is unnecessary to comment on anything at this time except tho general excellence of the ' program and the two numbers particularly I attractive, which were the Ballet Suite of Mario Costa and tho Dervish Chorus of I Sebek. Tho truly beautiful accompaniments for the soloists exhibited unusual ilnllinrv I for a band and. In fact, I have heard or chestras whoso planlsslmos were not as dis tinctly subdued.
