THE OMAIIA JDA1LT BEE: SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 1901. IS T Amusements Hid Imi week was iilir.oji too hot to Allow pcoplo to even think of the theater, let alono neck amusement In one. With tho mercury nearly runnlm; over at tho top of the thermometer It has kept uvciy body bitty seeking a cool spot In which to enjoy a few moments' comfort rather than amusement. Hie fact that Ilcllstcdt was to closo his concert season at the end of tho week made the big tent pcrhupH tho most frequented amusement retort In the city, yot, with the exception of Thursday night when Miss Cameron sang, tho attend' unco wan not nearly what It should or would bavo been had the weather man ohown a llttlo consideration for the feel ings of tho ptople. Down cast tho actor people are busy In preparation for the coming season, which will open tho latter part of August. Every ship Is bringing homo some of the many who wont abroad early 'n May to enjoy a few weeks' recreation In Europo and re hearsals aro already under way for many of the big productions which arc announced for tbo coming season. Dei I ilea bringing homo the American theatrical pcoplo who have been abroad, tbo boats aro bringing over many foreign actors and actresses who expect to piny In this country during next season. A number of the conspicuous American actrosscs aro to have foreign ! stngo lovers, whllo several of the male start) are Importing leading women from England. This suggests tho possible re turn to tho Idea of Lester Wnllack and his contemporaries who always brought their leading people from England. This system brought to America such well known and prominent actors ni Mauilco llurrymorc, Herbert Kclcey, Charles Coghlan. Marry Montague and others. Maude Adams Is to hnvo iih her leading man Sidney llrough, an Englishman. lie Is strange to theater goers of this country but very popular In London. Bertha CJnlland Is to have Harry II, Stanford, who was Henry Irvlng's lead ing man during tho latter's Amcrlcon tour. Itobert Lornlne, another Londoner, will support Hilda Sprong, who is to bo one of tho season's new Btnrs. Elslo de Wolfe, another new star, will have as a leading man Frank Mills, an Englishman who played In this country some years ago un der tho Frohman management. Somo of the iictrcsics will change their leading men without going abroad for them. Ethel llinrymoro will keep 0. W. Howard for "Captain Jinks of the Horso Marines," In which sho will bo seen In Omaha next w Intel'. Mrs. LcbIIo Cartor cast about for a now man for a tlrao, but finally decided to keep Charles Stevenson, who was with her In "Znza" for the principal male rolo In 'La Du Unrry." Charles Illchman will tnko William Favcrshnm's place as leading mun of Frohninn's Empire Stock company, which Is hooked for a tour of tho prin cipal cities, among which will bo Omaha, early next spring. Amelia Bingham will keep llobcrt Edcson; Julia Marlowo will continue with Bruto Mcllao and Annlo Rus sull Is satisfied with Orrln Johnson's work as a stngo lover. Ada Rohan. Virginia Harned. Henrietta Crosman, niancho Dates and a few others aro still undecided. Mrs. Lo Moyne will wult until she settles on n play to mnko her choice If she de cides to uso "Macbeth" Ebca Plymptoo will tako tho title role. The male stars will make some changes of leading ladles. Otla Skinner, N. C. (loodwlp. Willlo Collier, II. L. McLean and a few others equally na well known have when who act In that capacity for them. E. II. Sothorn used to belong to this cUbs, but since Virginia Harned has decided to becomo n lone star, Cecilia Loftus Will tako her place as Ophelia In "Hamlet." In which Sothcrn will contlnuo for a time at least. Itlchard Mansfield In his inductions of "Monsieur Dcnucalro" and "Herod," will have Lettlco Fairfax, who was with him a few ycara ago, but hns since been ap pearing In 'London. John Drew will retain Ida Conquest. William Qlllott and William H, Crane will not mako now productions. E. M. Hollnnd has not as yot chosen a heroine for "Ebon JHolden." Kyrlo Dellew will hnvo nn American girl, Eleanor nob sun, to play hla lead In "A Gentleman of France." Eugenia Lawton will assist James O'Neill In "Monto Crlsto." Chrlitle McDonald will support Peter Daily, who Is lo be ono fit tho season's new male stars. Dan Daly will have Virginia Earle. WU llotu Favcrshara, Joseph Jefferson, Stuart Uobson and Henry Mlllor are looking aitund. Louis James will separate from Kathcrlno Kidder, but neither has as yet i:hoscn a successor for tho other. On paper tho season promises to be a l-rllllant ono from every standpoint. Omaha Is to have ono of the best lists of attrac tions that Its theatcr-goera over saw. Of course, this Is tho jnrao old stereotyped story, but there Is an excellent list on the booking shcot of tho Doyd, but whether they will all come to us or not Is another question. It looks as Ibough the old-time players aro likely to crowd out tho young as pirants for stellar honors tho coming sea son It, this series of revivals keeps up. Hero wo have Kato Claxton announced to resume In "Tho Two Orphans," Rose Cogh lan In "Peg Wofflugton" and othor plays: Ada Gray, who Is paid to have recovered suttlclently from her illness to resume "East Lynne," and now comes a report that Matlo Walnrlght' Is going to, revive "Tho School for Scandal," which, by the ny, Is to bo part of the repertoire of the It. D. MacLcan and Odette Tyler com pany. Nellie McIIenry has found ono sea son profitable In "M'llss" and la going to continue In It next season, and It Is re ported thnt Maggie Mitchell has almost been Induced to try another whirl around tho circuit with "Fanchon." In vlow of tho fact that tho youthful-acting Maggie Is C9 years old this latter report seems like pure Imagination on somebody's part.

"Tho Henrietta" will probably be seen In Omaha before the cud of Mr. Robson's fcaooii. The latest theatrical personage of prom inence to answer the roll call of the Maker was Louis Aldrlch, un actor who has until within the lust five years been prominent in tho drama nlnce 1S35. He died at his home In Maine last Monday of apoplexy. Although well known In the east, he was perhapu morn prominent in the west, owing to his almost continued association with plays dealing with 'the west, nnd naturally ho appeared In the west more frequently than In the cast. Co nil it tr iivrnt. Last week witnessed the popularity of the FcrrM Stock company, as attested by .the attendauco at the Iloyd, In spite of tho untoward circumstances. Torrid heat nnu coi'titer attractions were not enough to keep people from attending. The lust halt of tho week was In tho nature of a per sonal triumph for Miss Seward, who as sumed the difficult emotional role of Lady Vane In "East Lynne." Very few parts cnll for a deeper appreciation of human sentiment for their successful Interpreta tion thrr. docs tho heroine of this old atory. Miss Soward's talent proved equal to tho exactions, nnd while she might easily be moro congenially employed, she will hardly be nblo to more fully exem plify her great ability than she did last w.'ek. She will play the part for the last time this afternoon, nnd this evening will assume the character of Mary Morgan, tho unfortunate heroine of T. S. Arthur's powr crful melodrama, "Ten Nights In a Bar Room." On Thursday nlghi tho great French piny, "Two Orphans," whose pop ularity has never waned, will be presented. MhH Seward will be Hcnrletto and Miss Fannie Franzcr will be Loulso. Manager Odell of Lake Manawa offers the patrons of his resort Mr. and Mrs. C. (icorge Hamilton, tho celebrated entertain ers, and MacSwecncy's famous comic opera company of thirty people, headed by Miss Mnrio Bell, supported by Julius Cluezcttl, James McSwecncy, Ed Kerr, R. Ilrccn and Miss Loulso Lewis. The chorus Is a large and well drilled one. The orchestra of ten pieces Is taken from Prof, Dalbey's band. Tho vaudeville, features, Miss Es- tcllo Seafert Hamilton and tbo Trybells, tend to give a big show. The "Chimes of Normnndy" ,wlll be presented, elaborately staged and costumed. Dalbey's band of forty will present a long and varied pro gram of unusual excellence. Attendance at Xrug park has been very much increased since the not weather began. The street railway company now runs every car on the Walnut Hill line to the park In the evenings. This just doubles the former service, which was made necea sary to handle the crowds. The Lorens Concert band continues to win favor. Tho afternoon and evening concerts are one of the finest of park features. Bowling, rid ing on tho merry-go-round and rifle shoot ing continue favorites with the crowds, The employes of the Boston store will picnic at the park today. Preparations for a Fourth of July celebration on a grand scato are almost completed. Games and special features galore will be offered. In tho evening the leading feature will be a grand display of pyrotechnics. "Tho Passion Play" will be a special featuro at Krug park for two weeks, commencing Thursday, July 4. The pro dustlon Includes nearly three miles of ani mated picture films, depicting the scenes and characters of the greatest of religious dramas.

Tho lending role Is of the snmo sort ns thoso In which Mr, Daniels has mado his greatest suc cesses. Musical Tho musical critic of The Omaha Dee U a "knocker." It Is only recently that this term hag been properly defined, and tho definition Is doiid Into English by the stalwart writer, William Minion Reedy of St. Louis, whose cxcgf.sls appears In the last number of tho Philistine. Ho crnyo, what I have often felt, that there In a placo In tho propriety of things for "knocking."' I hnvo hinted before thnt I considered Noah ono of the rarest old types of tho "knocker" species that has ever existed. Ho knocked ngaliiBt tho prevalent condi tions and the people laughed at him and said: "Hello, old Drywcather, when'll the tarnation old tub bo finished," and "What will be the cost for a round trip to Jerusa lem and Joppa?" But Noah, the Father of Knockers, stroked his Imported whiskers (made In Kansas) and looked wise. A few weeks later tho emigration agen cies were, crowded and messenger boys were standing In lino to get sailing accom modations for tho rich, but all to uo pur pose, tho "standing room only" sign bad been out long before, and tho flood enme and Noah and his faithful followers who bcllcvjd In his "knocking" were the only ones who were able to get In out of tho wet. Well, this Is a digression, this little trlbuto to tho venerable Knocker. Let us return to Mr. iteedy. Ho says: "Christ knocked on paganism nnd hcartlessncss; Luther knocked on privilege and proprie torship of salvation; Cromwell, Hampden and their fellows knocked on Dlvlno Right, as did Marat, Danton nnd Robespierre." This la pretty good company for a man to be in, and thercforo say I, "Lucky is the man whom folks call a 'knocker,' for It Is a splendid compliment." Uut the St. Louis gentleman goes on to a further discussion of tho theme and quotes tho following glorious company of apostles and noble array of martyrs as prominent "knockers," towlt: Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rosscau, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, Patrick Henry, Garrison, Lovejoy, Wendell Phillips, Abraham Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Roosevelt, and then thoso whose weapon wns the pen, such famous knockers as Shakespeare, Dickens, Shelley, Words worth, Drowning, Poe, etc., etc. These words are worth remembering: "The knocker Is necessary to prod us on. It everybody told us we were all tho mus tard, we'd soon begin to believe it and sit down and do nothing. Criticism Is knock ing, yet but for criticism wo should have no, advancement." With a bow of respect nnd a heart full of gratitude, I herewith express my thanks to William Marlon Reedy, and I rejoice that many, many people have honored me by placing me In such an eminently respec table and immortal association by saying that tho Musical Critic of The Omaha Bee Is a "knocker." I feel as happy as If I bad won a "vtcatlon contest." Last year It was borne upom my con science that I should wrlto earnestly against a very unfortunate policy adopted by the commltteo on arrangements for the Musical festival. I predicted that it tho commltteo persisted In putting wholo pro grams of very poorly written music and selections Bultablo only for tbe dance hall, wo would suffer from It sooner or later la tbe way of uncomplimentary advertising In tho musical papers. I was abused and maligned thcicfor. Local papers poured avalanches of censure on my head, and so called musical people, and supposedly re fined peoplo howled with Indignation be cause I persisted in standing up for Omaha as a refined, cultured and musical city. I tried to recall to tbe minds of tbe people the real Musical festivals of Omaha, when there was no use for cheap circus slips an nouncing that such a night would bo given over to the playing of some of tho worst songs of tho variety stage. The days of Anton Setdl, of Walter Damrosch, of Theodore Thomafc, of the old Apollo club, of the Artists days of the 1898 exposition. Ia vain. Tho committee was allowed to go ahead and throw glaring Insults Into the faces of the cultured and musical people of Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs, Well, what Is the result? This year Kan sas City papers are telling the people thnt when Bellstedt played at the exposition ho did not have to play cheap, trashy rouslo In ordero draw a crowd, and this is ac counted for by the presence of so many strangers. Think of that, ye who "stand up for Omaha." But that now when Bellstedt has the Omaha people alone to draw from he Is obliged to play rag-tlmo concerts In order to pull a crowd. That makes nlco reading for an intelligent Omaha citizen. Ono paper states that "Omaha audiences enjoy Wagner If set to ragtime." And again, "Bollstedt Is a great conductor. Wo must not Judgo hlra by what has lately been done In Omaha." It Is a pleasant fact to contemplate, that In looking over tbe season of concerts Just closed tho classic nights were tho big nights, and on one of them tho remarkable Incident of an absence of standing room occurred. This looks like an encouraging result of last year's persistent "knocking." Now it Is apparent that The Bee was not knocking against tho Auditorium as al leged, or against tbe Musical festival, as alleged, or against Mr. Bellstedt, as al leged, but against the efforts of some people to place Omaha In a false light. Omaha Is young, clastic, energotlc and the rebound has come. Prepare to see a strong up ward tendency In the divine art, music. Also remember the old text, "Knock, and It shall be opened onto you." I quote from Chicago's bright weekly paper, the Musical Leader, edited by the well known critic and musical writer, Florence French, speaking of the concert ono week ngo Friday night: "It was a refutation of tho noxious statement which has been diligently put In circulation, thnt tho peoplo of Omaha want rag-tlmo music nnd will be content with nothing else. Not even for n night has Mr. Bellstedt bowed to that talso god. Ho docs not favor a low standard and hls'work has shown gratifying efforts to advance the tono of musical presentations In that city." Kansas City papers please copy. No flowers. Miss Ethel Free, the brilliant young pianist and teacher, will leave this week for a two months' vacation, after a season of hard work In her studio.
