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.

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

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
