ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
Carnival week la not usually a ve-y busy
one at th theaters, but the one Just c!oanl
proved a delightful exception, for each of
the Omaha houses did not only good, but
really splendid, business all week. Of course
It waa mainly out-of-town visitors who
filled the aeata. for the Omaha people had
their handi fult in other direction, and
could hardly give time to the theater. The
attraction offered were of the aort calcu
lated to please peo.Mo on pleaaure bent,
light and at leant one Instant, airy. "Thi
Tenderfoot" proved to be all that had been
promised for It, Mr. Curie has provided a
delightful dish ot only fun, foolish, non
sensical fun, so arranged and srfved as to
Irresistibly compel laughter. And who shall
Bay that he la not ai rompllshlns; a great
mission? "A merty .lieart doeth good like
medicine," and doctors all agree thnt noth
ing la more beneficial than a hearty laugh.
Well, Mr. Carle and his company provide
omit two and a half or three hours of the
most enjoyable laughter, and certainly
should ba givan soma credit, for who knowa
how many doctors' bills they averted?
Iong may Carle and his associates In the
fun-making line be spared to go abroad
through the length and breadth of the
land, chasing dull care out of Uvea of the
"plain people."
How do they do It? Well, you may feel
like kicking yourself wben you come to
analyse the methods. Take for example
the trio between Carle, Stanley and Nor
man, "The Tortured Thomas Cat." After
Singing a verse they line up, each with
a atool, and proceed after this fashion:
Carl Gentlemen, be seated.
(Norman and Stanley perform panto
mlmlo flourishes with tambo and bonfs.)
Norman Mr. Hones, why la a man wheel
ing a wheelbarrow up the aids of a moun
tain like an onion?
Carle Why la a man wheeling a wheel
barrow tin the side of a mountsln like en
onion? I don't know. Why la a man v heel
ing a wheelbarrow up a aide of a mountain,
like an onion?
Norman Because, he la atlll your mother.
Stanley Mr. Hones, which would yoil
rather be a cellar full of butchers' blocks,
a vest with sleeves In It, or a piece of dried
Ice?
Carl Which would T rather he a cellar
full of butnhera" block, a vest with sleeves
In It. or a piece of dried Ice? Let me see;
which would you rather be a cellar full of
butchers' blocks, a vest with sleevea In It,
or a nice little piece of dried Ice?
Stanley I'd rather be a grove of poet
holes. Carle Because he la still your mother.
Stanley If It takes seven yards and a
half of baby-bluo ribbon to make a pair
of pink pajamas for an elephant, how far
will a feather have to .fall to break a
fl bill?
And then they finish the song. Think
of four grown-up men sitting down sol
emnly In front of an Immense gathering
of intelligent and cultivated people and go
lng through that rlgamarnle of nonaense;
and then think of that Immense audience
of Intelligent and cultivated people shout
ing themselves hoarse with laughter over
that aort of stuff. But that is what goes
In a musical comedy, and is what gets the
big laughs.' The part of Patsy in the piece
was a clever bit of conceit and was moet
cleverly carried out by Miss Johnson, who
got her laughs by legitimate means.
The motion pictures projected by the lilno
drome will be new and timely.
Mr. . William Winter of the New Tork
Tribune la nothing If not In earnest in his
advocacy of a healthy, reasonable drama
for a publio that la sound In body and
mind. He haa battled for the rational in
art and literature, on and off the stage, for
lo, these many years, and In all this time
has suffered no diminution of his power to
attack. Some months ago In this column
was published Mr. Winter's expressed
opinion of Ibsen,' called forth by the pro
duction of "Ghosts" by Mary Shaw In New
Tork. That the dean of American dramatic
critics has not changed his mind, but la 'as
delightfully decisive and as optimistically
oplnloned as ever, Is proven by the. follow
lng review of the Mrs. Flake production of
"Hedda Oabler" at the Manhattan,. New
York, last Monday night: ' '
All persona are. In one sense, diseased
and hastening toward the grave. In ajme
rases the disease la known and named, and
the time of the Inevitable obtequ ee can be
predicted with approximate pred ion. In
other cases the disease Is Incipient, and
hope fluctuates aa to the nrobinla arrival
of the final catastrophe. But there Is no
doubt aa to either the present condition or
the ultimate result. All flsh Is grnss; all
grass will be cut down, dried up, and, neces
sarily, withered; and. aooner or Inter, the

Four shows will till the time at the
Boyd this week, with two nights left out.
On Sunday evening "Human Hearts," the
Hal Reld drama ao well known here, will
be the offering, and on Monday night
"Two Little Vagrants," another drama of
heart Interest, will play for on night only.
On Tuesday and Wednesday one of the
best of the Imported musical comedies, "A
Chinese Honeymoon," will delight the pe
pie, and on Saturday afternoon and even
ing Blanche Walsh will present the Bat
tallle version of Tolstoi's "Resurrection."
Thursday night the theater Is rented to the
Young Men's Christian association, and
on Friday night It will be dark.
"Human Hearts" is said to leave fa
vorable impression wherever It Is pre
sented. The elements of comedy and
pathos are artistically employed and the
lights and shades of the story are finely
proportioned with a view to unity.
One of the striking features of "Two
Little Vagrants" is ths thrilling scene of
the locks on the River Seine, near Paris.
In this scene the gates are suddenly
opened by the boy hero, Fan Fsn (assumed
by Neva Harrison), who Is puisued by
thieves, a cataract of real water pours
upon the stage, In which the leader of the
thieves In drowned. ,
The coming of "A Chinese Honeymoon"
to the Boyd, beginning Tuesday evening,
for three performances naturally arouues
a good bit of anticipatory interest, for this
imported mirthful musical fabric haa had
the longest run In New York of anything
put upon the. metropolitan, stage In the
last flvs years. Incidentally, "The Honey
moon" is also still running In London, Eng
land, where It was first produced some
three years ago. It Is said to be the best
thing of Its kind musically, and the as
sertion may be credited, for Howard Talj
bot, the English composer, is well enough
known by his work on this side of the
Atlantic to Justify a cordial reception of
any new thing from his pen. There are
100 people In "A Chinese Honeymoon"
company, Including a dosen well known
artists and several dosen very pretty
girls. The stage Investiture la said to be
gorgeous almost beyond any previously
set criterion.
The success which Blanche Walsh
chleved In Chicago as Maslova In
"Resurrection" was so remarkable as to
occasion editorial comment In the news
papers such as Is rarely aocorded to the
atrical affairs. It waa officially stated bv
the manager of McVlcker's theater that
during her engagement of three weeks
$38,044 was taken In at the box office.
which represents nearly 65,000 paid ad
missions. Editorial comment suggests
that Miss Walsh's great success Is indica
tive of an Imnrovement In itmmaiin
standards. Her engagement was one of
the most remarkable in the history of
Chicago theatricals, and yet the vehicle she
used had none of the usual sensational ef.
rects to allure the Ignorant and curious.
There la no tank, no buss-saw end no In
terrupted marriage, it is a great, moving.
Intense melodrama, carrying. a great pur
pose, lncalculated to make people think
and think hard, no matter what their ata.
tion In life. So It would seem that Miss
Walsh and her managers, Messrs. Wagen-
neis Kemper, have rendered a distinct
service to the drama In America.
Miss Marlon Ward. fpupll of Miss Officer,
will give a piano recital, assisted by Miss
Julia Officer and Mr. Robert Ctisraden, at
Boyd's opera house on next Thursday after
noon, October IS, at 3. JO o'clock. Reserved
seats may be secured at Mawhtnney &
Ryan's on and after tomorrow at pop
ular prices, 2D cents and 10 cents; boxes

be happy. The play la a long-winded col

as well describe euuh a monstrous union of
vanity and depravity. Some excellent act
ing was done in the presentment of this

Have you thought- at all of the- Im
portance of the "assistant teacher?"
The assistant teacher Is sometimes the
mother, sometimes the father, sometimes
the sister of the student.
So here Is a word to the "assistant
teacher."
You are necessary In your sphere. Per
chance you cannot sing or plsy, but you
csn remind some one that the practice
hour Is now due. You can encourage ths
pupil in many ways. And why? Because
the "assistant teacher" has no studio;
does not need any. The work Is at home.
When the teacher's work with the pupil
is over, for th hour, the pupil's work Just
begins, and If the pupil has some dear,
good friend at home who will let the pupil
see that there Is a home Interest in his or
her work he or she will do better work
than you may Imagine.
I once heard a preacher, an evangelist
type, ssy: "The trouble with most of
you Is that you are awfully glad to go
out and preach the gospel to your neigh
bors, but you back out, like a coward, when
It comes to preaching a bit to some mem
ber of your own family."
How true thla Is also in other directions.
For one case of overabundance of family
appreciation and "our Mary's talent"
boosting there are a hundred cases of
starvation where a kind word from
student a slater or brother or father or
mother would mean as much as many
lessons in the wsy of encouragement.
This Is where the "assistant teacher"
comes In.
If a pupil leaves the studio encouraged
and stimulated to further work it takes
much of the heart out of the thing to come
home to an atmosphere of doubt and In
credulity and that air of "I don't see why
Mabel wastes her time so; she will never
smount to anything."
How much It means, In contrast to this.
when the pupil loaves the studio In a com
fortable frame of mind and goes home to
meet with the sympathetic. Joy ot the
Mother (the finest "assistant teacher" on
earth), who Is happy because "her girl"
brought home words of appreciation from
an exacting teacher.
Or perchance Evelyn comes home from
the studio discouraged, out of spirits, her
teacher was Irritable and she knew that
she did not do her best, and so forth. Then
the "assistant teacher" comes to the front
and tells Evelyn that It Is not half so dis
mal as it looks; that the teacher may be
Irritable at times, through the very refine
ment of his or her disposition, but that last
week the same Evelyn waa greatly encour
aged by the same teacher.
Oh! thla home encouragement of home In
dustry!
We all shout and wave hurrahs for the
encouragement of "home industries.
Do we; you and I, and all of us, do our
part In encouraging and applauding the
oms industry that Is going on in our own
homes? .
Ws may not all be teachers but we can
11 be "assistants." We can do the en
couraging work between lessons. o can
give the .members of our own households,
of our own Immediate families, the word
of approval or the reminder that It Is time
to practice, or even the question: "How
do you get along today?"
There are mothers whom I know and for
whose existence I am truly thankful, who
double 'and 1 treble ' the results obtainable
from a lesson by their work or watchful
ness and encouragement at home. They
are "assistant teachers " par excellence.
Their'- children haH ""rise up and ' call
them blessed." . -, : . .;
There are others, and I wish I could deny
this, who love their daughters or sons no
more than tbelr best clothes.
Their only happiness Is In showing them
off!
Not only that. -
Their only happiness Is In showing them
off before people who know leas than
they do!
It Is sad. It Is pathetlo and It la true, and
you and I know and have seen and have
heard such people.
Alas! for the student whose parents look
to the gushing plaudits of the Insincere
compliment-geysers (gl-sers), who bubble
up vapor and hot air and steam, to all
alike, and who ignore the opinion of those
who really know.
You know them, and I know them, and
we are sorry for them, because we know
that the path to. the Promised Lend ef
Artistic Beauty Js strewn with the whitened
bones of those who perished for want of
knowledge, whe found that .what they
thought was meat and food was a Dead
3ea apple, and what they thought Was
wine and milk was nothing but salt water,
to taste which, when thirsty, Is death.

E. M. Schnellbackcr of the Omaha Truck company, S07 South Tenth
street says: "When a young man I strained my back lifting, and ever
since any extra work, too much stooping or a cold settling in the loins
affected the kidneys and brought on backache. An advertisement
about Doan's Kidney Pills led me to procure a box at Kuhn A Co.'s
drug store, corner Fifteenth and Douglas streets. The treatment cured
me."

HOW THE NAME CAME
Melody
Story
of a Oenulno Negro
and It Discovery.
. Perhaps there are few people among the
general public who realize what an enor
mous enterprise the publishing of popular
music has become. It is meant by "popu
lar" all that the word implie"coon aonfta,
two-steps,' wa Kites or even a characteristic
dance. For lnutance, take that little tune
we see advertised ao much "Feacelui
Henry." Who would 1 magine that by
"Peaceful Henry" was meant a piece of
music? But such Is the case. The writer,
on a recent visit to Detroit, waa ahown
through the publishing house there, , Here
it waa that he learned how this bit of music
is circulated under the above title The
composer, while x traveling through the
South, came in contact with an ebony char-

Fathers and mothers, brothers and sis
ters, this Is a very momentous question.
Are you an assistant teaehert"
I have tried to show three Influences upon
a pupil.
May I, with the respect which comes from
sincerity, ask you which are you doing for
the dear student in your home.
The study of music in any department Is
no fad. Those who look upon It as such.
go awy very soon, go away empty, go
sway unsatisfied. And the teacher Is rather
pleased than otherwise.
No, it is a serious business, this study ef
a great art. It Is very serious.
Tt influences 'one's whole life. '
It moulds one's character, and the fur
ther Into It you go. the broader your field
becomes.' and 'the more -you see ef the
secrets of truth.
You do not know what Inner voice may
be talking today to your boy or girl, your
brother or sister. For heaven's sake, do
not smother t. '
: The artistic nature Is sensitive: It Is
pften too' sensitive.-but that can be over
come. ' ' ;
, If you cannot say a wxrd of comfort or
cheer, ask 'the question, "Well, how, was
your last lesBoh? "Good?"
i And this way you can water the seed,
which, perhaps, needed Just that little
spoonful of cold water, to encourage It to
tprout Into, the Art-fruit which satisfies,
which alone appeases the hunger, and
which (wlll yield more fruit to you and to
many, an hundredfold.
Tomorrow T No, today. Be an assistant
teacher In your own home today. I will!
Will you?
And for you fellow students who resd
this column, let me quote these lines of that
Master Misunderstood. Rudyard .Kipling:

"PEACEFUL HENRY"
acter In Alabama who was very musically
Inclined 'and who owned a banjo upon
which he was constantly playing one happy
little strain.
He at once recognized the peculiar nature
of the tune. He saw thut It was a rare
fern and It stayed In his brain persistently.
Is enlarged upon It and transformed It
Into what we hear todBy. naming It after
the negro who played It on his banjo,
"Peaceful Henry' B3 called from his easy
going wavs ana peaceful disposition. The
Whitney-Warner Publishing Co. paid $5,uuo
for the copvrlght of "Peact ful Henry." and
Its sales have abundunlly Justified their ac
tion. This house are publishers of the
world-famous "Hiawstlia," for which they
paid IIO.OUI. Price with them evidently is
of no account when it is a question of se
curing the very best In music.
