THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1901.
Amusements
Last week served among other things to
forcibly Illustrate to local theatergoers
what a great dtffcrctico can be made In n
pluy by tho quality of production given It.
In Chicago a year ago "Sporting Llfo" was
a play of some consequence. It enjoyed au
unusually long run, and according to tho
box-ofUco reports nearly a quarter of the
tntlre population of tho raid-western metrop
olis saw It. Everyone praised tho splen
did production with which It was em
belllshed, and tho newspapers devoted n
great deal of space to laudatory notices of
tho play, company and performance alike.
Naturally theBo recommendations of Its
morlt were accepted by Omaha play-goers and
When It wan produced hero ror tho first tlmo
Monday night, thero was hardly a vacant
seat In tho theater. After tho performance
tho peopln filed out through the lobby
Into tho street with much tho saino expres
sion of disappointment and disgust upon
their f.ces as those who wcro met coming
out of the gutes of the old Shormnn avonuo
fair grounds after tho perpetration of the
Blr ship fako thero nomu years ago. They
evldoiitly felt that thoy had been "buncoed."
Tho company was composed of about as
bad a lot of actors and actresses us bavo
been seen upon the local stago recently, and
tho result was u poor performance. Whllo
tho scenery was deserving of some praise
it was by no means up to expectations.
However, "tho milk has been tipped over"
fcnd thoro Is little uso In fault-finding now.
Occurrences of this kind will havo frequent
repetitions as long as good plays urn al
lowed to fall into tho hands of speculative
managers who uro short-sighted enough to
think that any "old thing" Is good enough
for thentur-goers outsldo of Now York, Chi
cago and a few of tho largo cities of tho
country.
Coming ns It did nftor tho numerous dis
appointments of tho past fow weeks, tho
row typo of operatic entertainment, "King
Dodo," styled musical comedy for tho sako
Of novolty, proved an unusually ngreeablo
purpriso and a most gratifying entertain
taont in evory way. Tho company was
good, the Jokes original and humorous, tho
muslo tuneful and catchy, tho scenic ln-
Ycstlturo nbovo tho standard and tho cos
tumes exceptionally beautiful. Its outhors,
Messrs. Plxloy and Ludors, havo but ro
contly cntored tho field of musical play
wrltlng and nro Just now making a
itrongcr bid for popularity than any of
their rivals. "Tho Uurgomastcr," which
was tholr first effort, la in its second year
and meeting with tremendous success nil
over tho country, whllo "King Dodo" prom
ises to be equally successful. Tho music
of tho now pleco Is hardly up to "Tho
Burgomaster" standard and it will doubt
less bo sorao tlmo beforo Gustav Luders
will bo ablo to composo another piece that
Will And tho lasting favor with the inustc
lovlng public that "Tho Tale of Tho Kan
garoo" has. On tho other hand, the book
and lyrics aro vastly superior to that of
"Tho Uurgomastcr." Frank Hxley has
sot only furnished humor that Is more in
fectious and mirth-provoking beyond limit,
but he has provon that it is not necessary
to chooso an immoral thctme for his Jokes
or make them doublo mcnnlng to produco
laughter. Ono of tho most admlrablo
things about the wholo opera is its absoluto
cleanliness. Thero is not a word, lino,
ceno or situation in it that would glvo
the leant offenso to anyone. Authors of
this kind nro so few that it Ib not to bo
Wondered at that their work finds lmmo
dlato and lasting favor with tho bettor
claBs of theater-goers. Comic opera per
formances of tho purity of "King Dodo"
ro so rarely over aeon that tho pleco
should bo successful as a curiosity It thero
was nothing clso to recommend it.
At tho Orpheum thero was a marked
falling oft In business and it is doubtful it
this playhouso has suffered such lack of
patronago stneo It was first opened. The
bill offered was entertaining enough, but
thoro did not happen to bo a stnglo act
among thoso that mado up tho program
magnetic enough to attract audiences of
any size. Tho Trocadcro's burlesque bill,
on tho other hand, proved to be one of
tho best money-makers that has played at
this theater, thero being few vacant scats
at any of tho performances.
Madamo Modjeska, whoso annual visit to
this city, Is nlways looked forward to with
pleasurablo anticipation, cornea the latter
half of tho week for a short engagement.
Bbo is associated this season with Louis
James, who Is equally well known and pop
ular with local lovers of the drama. Their
production of "Henry VIII" Is among the
fow Important offerings of tho season that
will servo to mako it memorable In futuro
annala of tho stago In this country. "Henry
VIII" has not been prosonted In America
Ince 1892, so the clement of novelty la not
entirely lacking. No artist more subtllo
than Madamo Modjeska has appeared among
tho women of tho stogo of this or any other
tlmo, and surely no artist moro than she
ooulil so embody tho regal and essentially
patrlcan and womanly qualities of Queen
Katherlnc. It Is not a new rolo to bor, a3
tho character was prominent In her reper
toire when she was at tho Imperial theater
In Warsaw beforo her famo spread to
Amorlca. She also played Queen Kathcr
Ino to tho Lord Wolsoy of Edwin Dooth
and scored an artistic triumph. This rolo
Is eultablo to hor ripened years and ma
tured genius and to see her In the part now
should bo regarded In tho naturo of n dis
tinct privilege. An equal Interest Is shown
In tho assumption of Cardinal WolBcy by
Louis JamoB. In the absorbing characters
of Shakespoaro Mr. James has scarcely a
rival worthy tho namo In Amorlca. Tho
production glvon tho piece has been com
pared to thoso of tho Mansfield and Irving
standard by tho eastern prces. Madamo
Modjeska's visit to Omaha this tlmo will
also bo of unusual Importance In view of
tho fact that Intimate friends In this sec
tion contradict tho report that she has re-
nowed her engagement to appear during the
coming season under her present manage
ment and that her appenranco again In this
country after tho termination of her con
tract with Messrs. Wagentbal & Kemper
Is in doubt. Whllo In this city she will
read a paper beforo the English literature
department of tho Woman's club on Henry
VIII.
Mr. Ccorgo O. Morris, who is with Tlra
Murphy, Is ono of the veterans of tho stage
as ho Is also of tho civil war, and Is equally
proud of both. Wo do not know Just how
long Morris has been In the theatrical pro
fession, but be has played with most of the
great actors of tho last third of a century
and has been ns well a successful manager,
He Is a most genial gentleman, a steadfast
friend and an ablo all-around good fellow.
After n tour of eight weeks on tho At
lantlc seaboard, embracing appearances In
Washington, Baltlmoro, Philadelphia and
I108ton, where ho played to popular out
pourings beyond anything In his past, Rich
ard Mansfield last Monday evening entered
on the Bccond segment of this season's cyclo
when ho begun his two months' run at the
Herald Square, New York. His opening Indl
cated one of two things, either tho big town
bad been watching Mansfield's tour and has
noted his striking success In "Heaucalro,"
or tho people had made up their minds In
advauco that anything Mansfield did was
too good to bo missed. From tho tlmo tho
salo of seats for Mansfield's appearancoa bo
gan tho lino never broke. So largo was
the salo of seats for his first four weeks; so
fow wcro the seats remaining; so many
wcro thoso turned away from tho theater
unable to purchaso, that tho management
decided to put on salo overy Beat for tho
entire eight weeks. This was dono beforo
tho first night, at noon last Monday. Tho
advanco sale before New York oven had a
peep at Mansfield's "Ileaucalro" was over
$22,000. Just as soon as ho closes In New
York, Mr. Mansfield begins tho third quar
teror porhaps tho third third of bis sea
son. Ho goes to New Orleans, then north
through Texas to Cincinnati. Chicago will
then havo flvo weeks of the eolcbrated ar
tist's time, whenco ho will visit tho larger
mlddlo west cities, reaching Kansas City
on May 17. A most llattorlng offer is under
consideration to havo Mansfield contlnuo
westward, via Denver to California and tho
Pacific coast. This Is at present only a
remoto possibility. "Bcnucalre" is an elab
orate production, requiring fifty-two people
and a special train, which gives pauso to
a discroot manager when confronted with
tho Inordinate expense of Pacific transportation.
