THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1001. 15 Amusements What pictorial adjuncts will do for In Jorlor plays wus moro than ever shown In Omaha durlnj; tho week. A most medlocro comedy-drama was on the boards for four performances, nono of which fell short In attondunco and nono of which attained a tlcRrco of excellence warranting notlco. Tlnally camo a musical comedy In most capablo hands. "Foxy Qulllcr" Is certainly a good thing, and tho company sent out with him Is In tho front rank of light opera, performers as tho matter goes nowadays. Tho fun of tho plcco Is easy, and tho muilo is tho same. At tho vaudeville houses tho usual performances wero given to tho usual attendance Well, wo havo walked up "Lovers' Lane," fcnd what camo of It? "A very pretty play," kald most of us, and thoso that didn't say Anything probably thought so, too. It was certainly staged very prettily, even effec tively! bo much so that tho crudity ct the plcco ltsolf and tho shortcomings of tho Company, which othcrwlso would havo bo;n painfully obtrusive, wero overlooked by tha Jeoplo who forgot In their admiration of tho scenlo Invcstlturo tho many things that wourd havo marred their enjoyment lad tbo grocery storo and tho npplo trojs teen less realistic. Clydo Pitch Is a dra tnatlst who has laid himself open to tho charge onco mado In congress by a fitatoj Jnan from Missouri against a statesman from Nebraska. "Tho honorablo gentle tnan," eald tho Mlssourlan, "talks when ho Isn't writing, writes when ho Isn't talking And docs bo tU when ho Isn't thinking." No, it wasn't Ilryan. Mr. Fitch has started out "to mako his muso a profltablo one, nnd In catering to tho popular tasto has not been jit nil particular about tho "eternal veri ties." Ills "Lovers' Lane" verges on tho Tnnudlln nt times, barely misses tho ridicu lous at others and never reaches tho stago tot roal merit at nny point. In Its minor (train It Is vacuous and Its major chords tiro Inane. Tho characters nro caricatures father than types and tho conversation Is as medlocro ns tho plot Is amateurish. Mr, Jlrndy has shown his acuta commercial eonso in tho nuccessful exploitation of this "hodgepodge In managerial hands less ro Hourccful It would havo fallen to pieces long ago, yet Mr. Drady has a host of com panies on tho road and all over tho country pcoplo nro nightly walking In "Lovor's Jano" nnd dally wondering why they did. Tho Hco has no objection to tho rural play 'jier bo; Is oven willing to stand for tho so icallcd modern pastoral, but Clydo Fitch 'hasn't produced ono In his "Lovers' Lane' t Private Information from Duftalo Is to jtho effect that John do Ilcnvlllo Moore, tho vcll known author of "Tho King's Ward" hnd other plays, closed his engagement nt tho Pan-American fair last night nnd is now on his way to Omaha. Tho rumor that Mr. Mooro Is returning a la Vasco da Oatna lilies, "by philosophic pcdcstrlanlsm lu daylight and surreptitious riding at flight," although supported by a photo graph showing tho genial "Pony" wending hla way down a railroad track, Is denied. During tho summer Mr. Mooro has dis played tho homo llfo of tho Filipino to ad miring thousands on tho Midway, and it Is well known that ho easily had tho prlco of a ticket loft after ho settled with Mr. i'red W. Taylor, tho superintendent of con cessions. Just what sphere of usefulness will claim his activity on his arrival In Omaha has not yet been confided to tho public. Ho will likely resume his rela tion with tho Hoyd theater, whbre ho was engaged whon Huffalo claimed him. i Another Omaha man has attracted soma Attention In tho theatrical world recently. Shrank Lea Short was director of tho class jplays glvon by Yalo studonts at tho bl centenary celebration of that university, Ono of theso was "Nathan Halo" and tho 1 othor was "Tho Founding of Yalo." Since going to Now York Mr. Short has mado rapid strides in nis profession, and has gained a standing that surely means shek els for him nt no distant day, Ills por trait, published In ono of tho Now York illustrated papers, shows that his faco has lost somo of tho splrltuello outllno familiar to those who used to know him hero a 'change that may easily bo attributed to 'prosperity, however, and not to loss of aspirations. Thoso who havo mot Mr. fJhort recently report him tho samo com panlonablo chap who used to enjoy a cigar otto and conversation nnd a llttlo some thing on tho side with his artlstto friends In Omaha only two or thrco years ago. Joromo Sykcs won his way Into tho af fections of tho theatergoers with remark Ablo caso during his brlof engagement hero past weok. "Tho Highwayman," In which iMr. Sykcs scored a triumph somo seasons (ago, wns not soon in Omaha, therefore bls ability as a comedian was known only through advanco press notices and tho pralso given his work by tho eastern press. His first appoaranco was In a performance of "Tho Mikado" in Baltltuoro In 18S5, but lie subsequently went west nnd Joined a repertoire company and played a lino of eavy parts. Dut bis gifts wero so un lonlab1yln the comedy lino that ho camo to Now York and In 1893 mado his first motropolltun hit In tho production of "Tho .Fencing Master." The following season ho sang ono of tho jirlncipal parts In "Robin Hood" with tho Bostontana und in 1S95-C Mr. Sykes nltematcd with H. C. Uarnabeo In tho principal comedian roles of that famous organization. In 1808-0 ho created tho part of Foxy Qulller in DoKovon & Smith's "Tho Highwayman," This was a distinct and emphatic sensation. Mr. Sykes' Foxy Qulller was an entirely new nnd most delicious character to tho little comic opera world, It camo ns a revelation even to thoso who had been watching his career With n great deal of Interest. Tho Jmprcs. Btqn was so strong that It did not disappear in Mr. Sykes subsequent appearances In "Tho Threo Dragoons" and "Chris and tho Wonderful Lamp." Klaw & Krlangor.then onlored a new opera In which tho central character should bo Foxy Qulller. Mr. Sykes, In course ot a conversation during tho engagement here, said: "It ws somo soventoen years ago that I started s a chorus man In light opera. I soon worked up to small parts and then my ambition overbalanced my good sense and Tvlth 'Punch' Wheeler as a partner I or SfnwaVif 8L 1 ganized nn opcratlo company ot my own. Thcro wero nine people la the company. Wo sang Tho Mikado and didn't havo to cut a note. Tho chorus was. merely painted on a drop and the little bunch ot nine, barely enough to nil the leading parti, had to double and sing tho chorus lines as welt as their own. I didn't take to tho Idea of a chorus on canvas very well, but 'Punch' nssurcd mo that as wo wero going to do cno night stands in Mexico, where they did not know tho Mikado of Japan from (leorgo Washington, tho chorus was of llttlo matter anyhow. Wo started on our trip nnd after being out a few weeks somo of tho voices commenced to show the effect of tho strain and as tho Mexicans did not knowUho English language from the Chinese we hit upon a schemo that I used to work on an old deaf schoolmaster of my boyhood days, down east. Whenever I wan not sufficiently familiar with my les sons to reclto properly and was called upon I used to stand up, mako my lips go mumblo a llttlo and tho bluff worked, Tho balance of tho class soon learned tho trick and It Bavcd many a boy and frequently a girl a halt-hour's scanco with tho teacher after school. This was tho game wo worked on tho Mexicans. Wo merely mumbled tho words, of tho choruses, 'hummed tho air and let It go at that. Thcro wero never any demands for tho return of money, so I am reasonably suro wo never played to anyone who could understand English. Times wero hard In Mexico then, so wo Boon had to abandon tho company, chorus and all, and return to manual labor. Hut I had a liking for the business and as you sco I broke Into it again, "How do I account for tho falling off in popularity of tho comlo opera? Merely that theatergoers want n change, It's tho musical c6mcdy now that seems to bo the fad. Another thing that had much to do with tho decline of light opera was the fact that about nil tho themes that could bo Imagined by tbo human mind havo been exhausted. It is so much moro difficult to wrlto a comic opera book than It Is a comic play. Tho author must havo his story frequently and continually Interrupted by musical numbers and usually Just at tho ttmo when It Is beginning to get Inter esting. When tho musical number Is fin ished tho audlcnco has lost interest In the story and so you bco what a book-wrltcr has to contend with. "Yes, I think thcro will always bo ono or two standard light oporatlo organiza tions In tho country. I look 'for an early demlso ot tbo musical comedy and after a short rest comic opera will regain much ot its popularity." Comlnir Kventa, A production of tho over-successful com edy drama, "Lost in Now York," will be given nt tho Doyd theater this afternoon and evening, with Nettle Do Coursoy, lato principal soubrotto In many of tho Hoyt farces, ab Jennie, and tho balanco of tho characters strongly played by clovor people. The Ferris comedians, with twenty-flvo people and two carloads of scenery, will open a week's engagement at Boyd's theater Monday matlnco, November 4, with a grand and gorgeous production ot "A Daughter of the South." The production will bo given completo in every detail. In addition to tho play thcro will bo Introduced be tween acts ten high-class vaudevlllo artists In new and up-to-date novelties and spo claltlcB. Thcro will bo an cntlro chango of specialties at every performance On Monday night will bo presented "In tho Land ot tho Cajuns." There will bo a lengthy bill at tho Or phoura this week, mado up of so diversified a lot ot acts that It is difficult to select the leading ono. It will bo a true variety offering, Including ns It will every possible form of entcrtatnmont. Felix and Barry will present a new acrobatic comedy act, In which they havo scored In various parts ot tho country. A newly imported and sen sational act that will bo soen horo for tho first tlmo Is that offered by tho Parros brothers, who aro acrobats of an extraor dinary typo. Each of them weighs over 200 pounds, yet they go through a scries ct stunts, including hand nnd head balancing, shoulder mounting, calling for" agility and lightness of movement that aro llttlo short of astounding In mon of tholr weight. Rider's Night Owls burlesquers are the attraction at tho Trocadcro, starting with tho usual matinee today, remaining all the week. Tbo Boo prints more paid want ads than any paper In Omaha. Why? Results count. " Piny a and Plnyrrs. Denman Thompson celebrated his 63th birthday last week. J. K. Murray nnd Clarn Lnne nro back In opera again and aro singing at the BIJou theater In Boston.

It Is proposed to put Crcncous, the trot ting champion, on the vaudevlllo stago In un net, showing his gnlt on a treadmill device and revolving panorama accompani ment. James O'Neill bids goodby to "Monto Crlsto" noxt season nnd will appear In a now play entitled "The Christian King."

Tho genuine must hv0 Our Private Dlo Stain d norvoajoTor the neck oUho bottle, J-" Z . mmp Musical Can wo havo an organization composed ot clergymen and choristers In tho inter ests of church music nnd Its dovelopmcnt? Such Is tho question asked mo by a cler ical friend. I think such an organization would bo a great, good thldg. It would cement friend ship between pulpits and cholrlotts In an unmlstakablo way I havo no doubt. Tho clergymen would find out that many musi cians are In reality endeavoring to bo "ministers" In their own way. They would' seo that tho musician In church work Is not In tho work for revenuo only, any nvjra than Is tho clergyman who goes where God sends him. Tho choirmasters would doubtless find that tho clergy wero not so fearfully orth odox and so exacting as they might seem. They would And, especially in Omaha, that thcro wero a number ot ministers who recognlzo tho wisdom of Invoking the spirit of music, not as an Incidental or an extra, but as an actual religious portion of tho service. For thero is Just as much religion In an anthem well sung ns In a scripture lesson well read. Thero should bo no fric tion between pulpit and cholrloft. There need not bo. Let the musician and tho minister havo a single eyo to tho result of tho scrvlco to tho world, not to himself, and thcro will be a perfect harmony. Of course, thero will bo times when tho musician will do things that tho mln'ster would hato wished otherwise, and por chanco tho musician might bo permitted to think that tho minister had his "off" days also, but what of It? Wo sometimes find I fault with thoso wo lovo best. Tho clergymen of today nro largely flesh and blood, they can bo talked to, and the musician la not always In tho clouds, as an Ignorant sentiment sometimes declnrcs. Music plain, dignified, devotional and In spiring la becoming moro and more a fac tor In church services, and tho minister In a largo church who falls to sco this Is sim ply going blindfold and saying there is no sun. Let us get together. I hopo that my friend who Is a member of tho coterie will take up the matter seriously and have a Joint meeting of clergymen and choristers to talk things over. Tho nieotlng will bear fruit. , I asked a clergyman last Sunday why it was that if a man sang or rather yelled a solo at tbo top ot his lung power, with muscles tenso and faco red with excitement, wo would flro him bodily at tho end of the service, that Is, If there was anyono left In tho audience to do so. But If a minister does tbo samo thing In tho pulpit wo pat him on the back and say, "Verily, verily, ho Is tho hot stuff." If a singer puts on tbo "bishop's voice" and mouths his words and Indulges In fantastlo pronunciations and funny motions ho dis gusts us with tho all too apparent affecta tion, but If a clergyman docs It h'o Is tho Lord's elect. In reply ho said some things to mo on tho matter which interested mo very greatly, and I would llko to hear a paper on that subject written by him at tho first annual meeting ot tho Associated Order ot Church Service Promoters. Of courso, It must bo understood that be fore such a Joint meeting Is called both clergy and choristers must secure consent from tho Janitors' union, for they own halt tho church buildings In Omaha. Last Monday morning was a red letter day for me. I was a guest, not without honor, at what surely must bo the most In teresting school In Omaha. Interesting be causo you have a trip around tbo world In a foronoon and beautiful muslo Inter spersed, Under the guldanco of the princi pal of tho school, Miss 'McCarthy, a name to conjuro with In Intellectual circles, I took a tour through Russia and aw many types, and I chatted with tho young people of that wonderful country, whllo tbo dark eyed beauties of Assyria flashed their bril liant eyes upon mo in curiosity. I saw the record of the woes ot the fair land of Poland clearly written In tho unconsciously sad expression of this child and that. There were the German children, and tho Italian, the Scandinavian and tbo Bohemian, the American and tho Irish. All under one roof, under one flag, under one western sky. I know not what the individualities be In tho classes. I know not tbo differences In home life. But this ono thing I know, I heard all these dear children, from every country almost under the sun, singing to gether with ono consent, under tho direc tion ot one person, and that person a young woman, representing as It wero our own Columbia. When I heard tho voices rl6o and fall, swell and diminish, thoughts of what It meant to us and to tho futuro crowded fast and furious Into my mind, and with a heart full ot gratitude and a throat full of some thing else and eyes not altogether free IN THE BATH Neutral, refreshes and clean, softens absolutely neutral soap. The medical value of Ox-Gall for the skin has been known for centuries. Gives a normal flush of health to the entire body. Perfected by a process known only to us. Adapted to all household uses. fTlSE-A THE CUDAHY from tears I fervently thanked God that' I was nn Americanl Where could such a condition exist as does exist at that won derful Pacific school but In thU beautiful country, which, with nil duo respect to Americans, you havo to bo adopted Into to fully appreciate. Wo grow accustomed to blessings that we aro born to. I cannot begin to mention tho names of tho teachers whoso work surprised 'and In terested mo. Sufflco It to say that Miss McCarthy has a corps of lieutenants (who aro "mighty men ot valor" In their woman liness and intelligent strength. And Miss Fannlo Arnold, I venturo to say, has few stronger exponents of her work than Bhe has nt tho Pacific school. By tho way, what a suitable namo for tho school which has under Its roof such a cosmopolitan as semblage. Nations upon nations, repre sented by their rising youth, under the namo "Pacific." Is It not prophetic? Is It not a sign ot tho times? I havo nover heard better alto work any where, even In "grown-up" choirs, than I heard in ono room last Monday. The teacher knew her work and thoro wns not a strident or forced tono to bo heard. In young alto voices this Is qulto unusual Miss McCarthy takes a great Interest in her music and her presence In tho room seems to bo a benediction to tho teachers. But everyone who knows her knows this. "Willie, how shall wo sing this today?" Up Jumps tho sturdy William, ago 7, "Softly, ma'am." And tho lesson begins. Tho reading Is wonderful. Tho way In which tho very young classes can sing tho Intervals by signals ot tho fingers Is some thing to bo soen, not written about. I know that my professional friends would not be lieve mo. I wish they would go nnd see somo of Miss Arnold's work and tho work of her assistants. Sho certainly has mado her Ideas decidedly clear nnd her work Is of tho very best kind. I havo heard Miss Arnold's work In tho older grades In public nnd while I enjoyed that immensely my en thusiasm Increased when I heard tho young pcoplo of tho early grades. Miss McCarthy, as a principal, la an em press In a universal realm and her scepter Is Sympathy. Her whole soul Is In her work. School work with her Is not a duty. It la a privilege I wish I had spaco enough to try to doscrlbo tho Individual types which sho presented to me. I may try later on. Prom tho denr llttlo bit of a newsboy who was Introduced to mo ns tbo head of his household, ho who furnishod tho kindling, holpcd pay tho rent and shoul dered tho household expenses very largely, to tho boy who, alone and unaided, is study ing medicine, working night nnd day, almost, thcro wos Incessant causo for warm Inter est. Miss. McCarthy "knows" her children. And they know her. Sho loves music. And they love It, too. Many of them, I havo no doubt, lovo It for her sako. Tho muslo of tho Pacific school Is surely a case of "going out Into tho world and teaching the gospel to all nations," tho gospol of peace, good-will, beauty and happiness. At Calvary Baptist church next Thursday night an Important event will take place, nn event which should rccolvo tho co-opera tion and attention of all local musicians, becauso It Is tho opening of n now nnd flno plpo organ. Tho advent .of a good church organ Is of lnestlmablo valuo to tho muMo of a community, becauso It stirs up rind stimulates to enthusiasm tho choir 'ot tho church In which It was placed, the congro gatlon which speaks with prldo of "our now organ" and the community In which the church Is situated. Tho recital which opens this organ offi cially will bo given on Thursday night of this week and tho organist will be Mr. Hall of Minneapolis, of whom I hear many good things. Mrs. Kelly, soprano, will assist. An Interesting rouslcalo was given last week at tho Pratt by tho First Presby terian choir,, assisted by Mrs. Blake, the talented local harpist, and Miss Hawley, tho scholarly pianist.
