19 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE! SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1901. Amusements The month of November, Just closed, has been more rcmarhablo In one way than any of its predecessors slnco the first page of Omaha's theatrical history was written otno twenty years ago. During its four weeks theater-goers have been furnished with entertainment most unusual in Its variety, Almost every lino of theatrical amuiomont known to tho present genera tion has been forthcoming. Wo bavo had everything, from tho cheapest varloty show Up to tho highest typo of modern play, Including necromancy, minstrelsy, vaudo vlllo, a romantic drama, a society play, a comlo opera, a melo-drama, a problem play, t, religious play, a tragedy, a rural drama and nverythlng In the category. Another remarkable thing about tho month Is that with but a single exception there has boon lio two plays of the samo typo Not much can bo said for the quality of the offer ings, although a few of thorn have possessed unusual merit, whllo the majority of tho .others have fallen bolow tho lovel of mo dlocrlty. Wo have had n number of lu minaries who havo occupied positions In tho theatrical firmament long enough so as to bo able to attract largo audiences by merely having their names posted upon tho billboards, but In almost every Instance they havo proven a disappointment, whllo tho unheralded ones havo Invariably plcasod In each case. The patronago has been unusually good and about equally divided among the different classes of attractions. For tho month opening today another diversified list of attractions Is announced. Among them nro somo known to possess morlt of high grade, whllo sprinkled through tho list hero and there nro a few common place bookings, fortunately, howover, the latter class nre, In almost every case, cheduled for Sunday night presentations. Bo In reality theater-goers havo many things to look forward to with plcasurablo anticipation. Tho most important booking of tHo month, If not tho season, comes on tho final day of tho year nnd tho opening ono of 1902. It is Sir Henry Irving nnd Ellen Terry. They nro to glvo four per formances In tho city and will offer dif ferent play at each of them. tlon of elaborate scenery came with Sir Henry Irving'.) first visit to this country, when bo brought with him the splendid scenlo productions of tho different Shake spearian plays. Slnco that tlmo fine scenery has been absolutely necessary to lnsuro the success of any kind of a dra matic productlo'n. "In tho earlier days we did mako somo pretense of costuming at least the lead ing parts correctly. Our supernumer aries were somowhat neglected, however. For Instance, tho soldiers In Richard's army when we played 'Illchard HI' woro a nondescript pair of pants and a Jacket with a hood, nil of brown stuff with braid sewed diagonally across It horo or there. These same suits were used for Iloman, Grecian, English and French armies nllko, but they made tho men look more like Esquimaux than anything olse. I remem ber ono tlmo when wo wero playing horo Archibald Forbes was lecturing In tho city nnd ho camo to sco our performance After It was over ho camo back to our dressing room and said, In his droll way: 'I have learned a lesson In archaeology to night. I knew tho Roman conquests ex tended as far as Briton nnd Gaul, but I did not know that they had over Improssod tho Esquimaux Into their service' Early In tho season somo dejeoted human bolng suffering from melancholia wroto from Iowa to tho Now York Dramatic Mir ror, stating thnt tho fnlluro of tho corn crop In Iowa, Knnsas und Nebraska hud loft tho pcoplo of this section of tho country In a bad financial way, as well aB a do kroisod stato of mind. Managers of tho Wrgo attractions wero advised that a visit )o auy of theso states with their companies jrould mean largo financial losses, and thoy iroro advised to await tho result of an Ithor season's crops. Tho best ovldcnco tf tho absolute falsity of this statement Is furnished by Manager UurgcBS of tho lloyd theater, who says: "Tho season so far has boon ono of tho best I havo over known ba tho west. Hoth of our Kansas City (heaters havo been playing to unprecedented business, while, as you know, tho thoators In Omaha are well filled nt every perform ance. On Thursday, Thanksgiving dny, the receipts of tho thrco theaters controlled by Mr. Woodward and myself, tho Century and Auditorium In Kansas City and tho Ooydore, amounted to $5,200, and nt the Contury 30 cents is the hlghost price of admission charged, whllo tho lowest Is 10 cants. There may not be much corn monoy Included In this amount, but there Is enough extra wheat money thero to moro than even matters up. It's lunacy to say that tho partial failure of tho corn crop Is having any effect upon the theatrical business In tha west" "Ono of tho most delightful associations of my llfo was when I played twenty weeks In support of Edwin Booth. Wo did not como west, but confined our tour to tho south nnd caBt. This was In 1870, I think. I think Mr. Dooth was ono of tho grandest mon, personally, that it has ever been my good fortune to know, desplto tho fact that his entlro llfo was ono contlnuod trag edy. Why was It a tragedy? In the first place, ho lnherllcd his father's passion for drink. This naturally warped and clouded his early career. Then, ho married Mary . Dovlln, a woman to whom ho was warmly nttnehed. Ho had a daughter by this mar- rlago, but ho wanted a son to succeed him and to Inherit tho namo of his distin guished self nnd father. His wlfo died after a brief period and this was nnothcr great sorrow to him. Then camo tho mur der of President Lincoln by his brothor and his forced retirement from tho stage for a year. Ho reappeared next In Now York and mado tho wonderful run of 100 nights with 'Hamlet.' This rehabilitated hlH fortunes. Then In his desire to erect a monument to tho name of Dooth ho built tho Dooth theater in Now York. It was tho finest In tho world nt tho tlmo and It was, his ambition to havo It tho home of all classic productions of nolo. Everything produced In It must represent tho highest form of dramatic art. It was too early then to establish n theater of thnt kind. Now York could not support It and his fortunes soou dwindled to nothing. He went to Chicago after ho loBt his Now York theater and on tho ovo of his mar rlago to Mary McVlcker ho opened tho Mc Vlcker theater, playing Romeo to Miss McVlcker's Jullot. Through tho skill of Mr. MoVlckor, his wlfo's father, as a tlnan oler, Dooth was enabled to recuperate his depleted purso. Then, when ho again rose to tho head of tho tragic department of the stage, camo another cloud In his life In the unfortunato estrangement between him solf nnd his wlfo and her family. This was probably the saddest and most painful expcrlcnco of his life. Shortly after this and when his happiness was all gono ho and Luwrenco Darrett combined and this con solidation resulted In ono of tho most profitable theatrical enterprises over known In this or any other country. Ho made a fortune, but his fortune did not bring him what ho most desired happiness. There aro few, If nny, men In tho the atrical profession today who are bettor Informed on the history of the druuia or on dramatic topics of any kind than Fred rick Wardo. tho famouB tragedian, who played an engagement in this city tho lattor part of last week. Mr. Wnrdo possesses an Inexhaustible fund of Information re garding tho early dramatic history of this country and tho pcoplo who holpod to mako It. When seen Just boforo tho matlneo per formance of "Tho Mountebank" at tho Doyd Saturday ho was In a reminiscent mood and talked freely of tho past. "It was In tho fall of 1870 that I first camo to Omaha and the visit Is qulto as green In my memory as though It was but a year ago, rather than twenty-two. When I stoppod from tho train yosterday morn ing and walked up through the palatial depot Into tho streot I oould not help contrnstiuR It with tho old wooden shed that stood nenr tho samo spot when I first visited Omaha. As I took my Beat In tho omnibus nnd was whirled away over the paved streets to a hotel my mind went back to tho day of my first entry. Tho 'bus then wns a broken-down trap of a thing that looked Ilka It might havo been discarded by somo 'forty-niner. Tho streets were hub deop with mud and it took us fully halt an hour to make tho trip that required but a few minutes yesterday. I remember all of this distinctly, us we were unnblo to fill our engagement at tho opera houso that night, owing to tho fact that the wagon engaged to haul our large wardrono trunks mired In the mud at Tenth and Jones stroets and 'all of tho king's horses and nil tho king's men' could not pull It out, try as hard as they might, with vary dovlco known to man. Nebraska nud proved tho conqueror, and so we bad to disappoint our audience. "In those days we did not carry scenery of our own, but used any that might be on hand at tho theater whero wo played. Times Innumerable I have delivered Maro Antony's addrese standing on a common cloth-covered dry goods box In front of a modern fltroet-scono drop, with such signs as 'Jones & Co., grocers,' or 'Planter & Co., undertakers,' In those days the au dlenco paid llttlo attention to tho sconery. It was the force of tho actor's art that attracted ther attontlou. The Introduo "He then founded tho Playors' club In New York. This was as much for the purpose of a stopping placo for himself whllo In New York as anything else, and It was hore that ho spent tho final days of his life. Ho donated his splendid library of pootry and dramatic literature, Includ ing tho ontlre collection of an artistic life. With Dootb's death tho stago lost ono who, to my mind, was Its greatest benefactor. Tho present generation has failed to fur nish a worthy successor to him and It la extremely doubtful It one will ever be found." A woman without fads and fren from all tho eccentricities which aro characteristic of the sex. Such Is Blanche Walsh. She doesn't enro for society nnd eschews fancy work and pots. Acting is her work and books aro her recreation. The theater and a comfortable room, well filled with books, are the only places which have any attrac tlon for tho tragedlonue. Sho abhors tunc tlons at which sho Is to be exhibited to curious guests. Dooks are her best friends and she Is never happier than when closeted with her fnvorlto novelists and historians, "Where do you spend your vacations?" was asked of Miss Walsh during hor recent visit to Omaha. "Oh, I seldom havo vacations which nro long enough to glvo mo an opportunity to tako much of an outing. I work nil tho time nnd am never happier than when In tho midst of rehearsals. I work evory sum mer. Last season I was with the stock company In Denver. It was there that I had an opportunity to play Romeo to the Juliet of Maude Foaly, and a .charming little Juliet she made. Sho Is now lu Lon don with Mr. Gillette. I liked Romeo and hopo to havo an opportunity to aBSume the role again. It Is a pleasure to havo au opportunity to take part In a Shakespearean production." Dramatic critics have frequently spoken of Miss Walsh as a dashing brunette. Her flashing black eyes have had such a promi nent placo In all discussions of her work that people take It for granted the actress Is a stunning brunette. Dut the Blancho Walsh who spends leisure hours among her books Is a falr-complexloned woman with a wealth of auburn hair and dark hazel eyes. Her appearance Is wholly unllko that of tho dashing heroines whom she portrays. She is reserved and unassuming and tho voice nlono betrays tho Blanche Walsh whom tho public knows. And what a voice It Is. So full and rich that It makes ono long for a school where other actresses might have their voices brought down sev eral octaves and rounded out after the Walsh plan. Work Is Dlnnche Walsh's watchword. She Is never too tired for rehearsal and was never known to bo late. Sho lives for her art and everything else must glvo way to It. Miss Walsh has broken all records as a quick study and has never yet beon known to say "no" when n manager imposed somo heavy task upon her. During tho orlglnnl run of "Trilby" In New York Miss Virginia Harned was taken sick ono morning and hor understudy could not bo found. Miss Walsh wns playing In melodrama at another thentcr. At noon sho finished n rehearsal and started homo. Sho was hailed by Miss Harncd's manager, who announced to her that she must play Trilby for him that nfternoon. Ho had a big salo and could not abandon the matinee. A seamstress was called nnd took n few stitches In Mlas Hnrned's gowns to make them set to Miss Walsh's figure. Miss Walsh locked herself In her dressing room for an hour and a halt and learned tho long part. A twenty-ralnuto rehoareal followed. At 2 o'clock the curtain was rung up and Miss Walsh played Trilby so well that only tho mcmbors of tho company know how short a tlmo sho had studied the part. 'Yes, I was a llttlo nervous beforo the performance," Miss Walsh remarked In dis cussing this achievement, "but I know I would not fall and folt suro of myself after I stopped upon tho stage. Tho fact thnt I had seen Miss Hnrncd play Trilby mado my work much easier. "But I had n much moro trying experience than that when I accepted tho rolo of Edith Varney In 'Secret Sorvlco.' I had never seen tho piny and had only a little more than two hours for study. That was whore long expcrlcnco In stock companies wns valuablo to mo. I know I would not fall and I didn't, but I hopo It will bo n long tlmo boforo I havo to plungo Into uncor tnlnty the way I did that night." Ccimlng: Events. Manager Jacob Lltt's flno production of C. T. Dazey's popular play, "In Old Ken tucky," comes to tho Boyd Sunday night for ono performance. It Is now In Its ninth year and apparently as strong In popular favor as over. Mr. Lltt has with excellent Judgment kept tho company up to n high pitch of excellence. Tho original company will appear hero. Its scries of pictures of southern life havo caught tho fancy of playgoers wherever tho play has been pre sented. It Is a melodramatic spectacle of great splendor and a completo now outfit of scenery has been gotten up for this sooson's tour. "SDOrtInc Life" Is to lin fllTtl linrn fnr ihn first tlmo nt tho Doyd Monday night. Tho nig melodrama enjoyed runs of six and five months respectively In Now York and Chi cago last season, and 1b pronounced a mar vel of Its class. Tho story has to do with tho fortunes of n certain young Lord Wood stock, n manly, wholcsomo English sports man, who loves sport for sport's s.akc, but who gets himself Into a tight place by reck less hotting. "King Dodo," a brand new comedy opera, with a reputation of having broken tho record for long theatrical engagements In Chicago, will bo seen at Boyd's for four performences, starting Tuesday night. "King Dodo" Is tho creation of Messrs. Pixley and Luders, two young authors who have achieved tamo by provlous successful efforts In the samo line. The lavish charac ter of the costuming Is a fcaturo which Is strongly dwelt upon by the management, and the display of finery, seldom equalled, Is expected upon tho occasion of the visit of tho company to this city. Prominent memhors of tho big company raontioned aro: Raymond Hitchcock, Cherldah Simp son, Qertrudo Qulnlan, Mtro Delamottn, Greta Rlsloy, Elsa Ryan, Edward A. Clark, Arthur Wooley nnd Charles W. Moyor. One of tho most ctiormlng promises which the dramatic season holds out Is tho com ing of Mr. Tim Murphy in his latest suc cess, "A Capitol Comedy," which hs to be seen at Boyd's Saturday matinee and night of this week. This Is a play of llfo In Wash ington, by Paul Wllstach, n writer- who knows his topic well. It deals In an ab sorbing story with conditions which may be found In tho national capltol by an ob serving student who cares to ransack tho nooks and crannies of human nature. Evory element of tho comedy Is said to bo gathered from roal Ufa. It Is in a way a mosaic of lncldouts from human docu ments from tho fllos of both halves of a remarkable city. Every character has been mado a typo and tho actors to bo seen with Mr. Murphy havo been solccted because of their peculiar adaptability to the roles they play.

With ono exception the nets composing tho program at tho Orpheum for tho week commencing with a matlneo today will be presented by artists who havo never been seen on the local vaudeville stage, and thoy nre of such divergent character that the rnnge of variety covered by them Is only limited by their number. Tho Faust family of acrobats, nine In number, Including children, who In particular havo everywhere won favor of the fomlnlno portion of tho audiences, will show what they can do in tho acrobatic line, which has won for them fame on two continents. Thorno and Carleton make the one exception In having been seen by local vaudeville patrons; they como with a budget of new Jokes, calculated to create laughter of the whirlwind type and lay claim to originality. "A Perfect Lady," a little comedy, will serve as n vehicle to Introduce Emily Lytton as tho star of her own production. Formerly Miss Lytton was a raembor of tho team of Hayes and Lytton, whoso work will be pleasantly re verted to by thoso who saw them.
