ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
While not particularly notable, Omaha's
last wk In the way of amuvments
enjoyable In several ways. The Boyd of
fered two of Ita strongest attractions and
ach had splendid supr orL At the Krug
during the first half of the week "Arlsrni"
drew all the people the theater could hold,
and at the Crelghton-Orpheuni a fairly writ
balanced vaudeville bill was well patron
ised. The feature of the week, probably,
was the hit made by Toby Claude. Bhe Is
certainly one of the cleverest comediennes
on the stage today, and Omaha people hop
her first visit will not be her hat. Blanche
Walsh, coming at the end of the week, was
strong enough to draw full houres to the (
Boyd at both performances, and very fash- 1
lonable audiences, too. It la s matter of
regret that her over-cautious managers
aw fit to put her on a remarkably long ,
lege of one-night stands, and to Include
Omaha In the list
Omaha's first experience with the Tolstoy
drama, since It must have been, was merci
fully visited In the most acceptable form
and the people who go to the theater were
pared the fate Inflicted on so many un
fortunates throughout the country of hav
ing It come In the shape of a visitation
by a summer stock company, or some
ether organisation equally bad. Miss
Walsh and ber associates succeed to Some
extent In making the dose palatable, but
bo vehicle has yet been discovered that
can successfully disguise the taste of
Tolstoy, and an emulsion Is both Impossi
ble and undesirable. To be sure, ' the
original active element has been much at
tenuated In the preparation served for
the stimulation of our sluggish moral na
tures, yet Its properties have not been
diluted to' the point where they are no
longer virile. Yet and the confession Is
made with no especial feeling of sadness
the single dose Is not sufficiently seductive
to make one long for a thorough course
of the treatment; other doctors offer more
pleasant . and probnbly as reliable reme
dies, although few of them appear to
be so cocksure as to the resultant cure.
Tolstoy, you know, has that abiding faith
In his own powers that marks the zealot
In any direction, and has Jong since re
solved any doubt be might ever have en
tertained In his own. favor. The great
difficulty he-has encountered lies In the ma
terialistic aspect of the world; most people
nowadays want to be "showed," and the
mere example of a single man Is not suffi
cient to convince them.
Tolstoy sincerity in his beliefs doesn't
matter In the least. It will be granted
without dispute; yet one can hardly help
wondering if Tolstoy could find In his doe
trine sufficient strength to support him In
tils cause, had he not already tasted the
weets.of life, and did he not know that
within his reach Is the cup from which he
nay again drink such as It yet contains.
Last winter, when the proBuctlon of the
"Resurrection" was first debated as among
the New York possibilities. The Bee ex
pressed an opinion as to the utility of
the Tolstoy example, and suggested what
appears to be an Inevitable conclusion that
his martyrdom to his own convictions, has
been a net loss, beyond the personal satis
faction he may have secured from the
consciousness of having done what he
thought right. And, after all, that is the
greatest of rewards. Vp to date there
has been no rush or concerted movement
OB the part of either the classes or the
masses to follow after his teachings. This
condition' doesn't deter Tolstoy, although
It does cause him sorrow, for, convinced
as he is of the correctness of his con
clusions, he Is equally certain of the good
that would come to mankind If only oil
men would follow his plan. ' Others have
felt much the same, and experienced the
same cause for poignant regret, and the
world has wagged along In Its heedless
way, and very likely will to the end. Just
because we are not all wise enough to
profit by another's experience.
One thing Tolstoy has done in Ms
handling of the sex problem and that Is to
point a possible chance for the sinner to
get back, not to original purity, but to an
attitude that organized society can tolerate.
Other dramatists, have . opened .to the
derelict one a vista aa cheerful and In
spiring as a glimpse down a coal hole;
suicide being the refuge most generally
adopted for the final disposition of the
Impulsive, woman or man who has "gang
a kenning wrarig," and the answer given
to thO' question being- the tomb. ' Tolstoy
preaches a happier doctrine, finding his
Inspiration In the thought that Is older than
creeds, that repentance Is atonement. He
doesn't claim originality for the thought,
nor does he lose sight of the fact that the
Injunction, to wait for the sinless man
to begin the stone-throwing Is continually
disregarded by those who are anxious to
practioe, marksmanship. . without consider-,
Ing the condition precedent to entry In the
competition. He simply repeats the word
to the Magdalen, ,"Qo and sin no more."
Repentance has always been held forth as
the first If not the final step to redemption,
and It Is through penitence that Tolstoy
proposes' to restore the sinner. It Is not an
an easy road he points out; It Is a road that
is lighted all the way by hope. Penitence
won Paradise for the dying thief, secured
forgiveness for the Magdalen, and la the
ons condition on which a promise of pardon
Is held ' out to all. That Is Tolstoy's
message, just as the angel at the gate gave
It to the Perl:
'do seek It and redeem thy sin:
'Tls sweet to let the pardoned In."
Mr. Richard Mansfield opened the
aew Lyrlo theater In New York, a splendid
new tempi of art built by the Shubert
brothers, on Monday night with "Old
Heidelberg," and more than redeemed the
promise of the play, both In Its production
and Its performance. "Old Heidelberg" is
a comedy based on the thought that youth
IS fleeting, and the Joys that then delight
US fade, lea vine memories unlv for i..
sterner days of real existence. Of the play
and player Mr. Winter writes In the New
York Tribune:

Heidelberg" The houfe was crowded and
the comedian was warmly weirwned the
public greeting. Indeed, being such as shows
affection lor tae man no !- the.ii -admiration
for the actor. The piny of "Old
Heidelberg," long popular In Europe, and,
to some extent, afiendy known In Amor
Ira, discovers student life In one of the
most delightful cities of the old world, and,
by an emblematical picture, at once ro
mantic and tender, humorous and pathetic,
shows the golden glory of youth, the pre
cloue value tf opportunity, and the fatal an
tagonl"m of greatness and peace. "Uneasy
Ilea the head that wears the crown." That
Is the serloua drift. The predominant
charm of the play, meanwhile. Is its ex
poslture of Bohemia. Foresail Renerous
minds, that have been young, there Is a
radiance of loveliness, that nothing can ever
obscure, over the Bohemian days of lon
hko. Hemembrance hallows them; all
their hardships are forgotten; through the
mists of time they glimmer, in unsullied
beauty, coming back with their lost loves,
their vanished comrades, their hopes that
since have withered, their dreams thxt are
dead and gone; and the heart thrills to re
member, t rid for a moment the glory of
morning streams over all the world.- In
the delicious words of Moore
"O, who would not we. come that moment's
returning,
When passion first wak'd a new life thro
his fr.me.
And his soul, like the wood that grows
precious In burning.
Gave out all its sweet to love' exquisite
flame!"
This ecatasy of recollection denotes the
whole significance of the play of "Old
Heidelberg"; and It Is because Mr. Mans
field knows the subject, and can Impart en
authentic voice to this emotion, that his
Ideal of Prince Henry of Carlsburg Is the
loveliest that his erring has ever shown.
Impersonations of wilder, stormier force he
has often accomplished, but, as the old
fable aptly tenches, the sun Is stronger
than the wind; the highest power Is
marked, not by violence, but by serenity.
In this assumption of Prince Henry there
Is a background of experience, a depth of
meaning, a mellow warmth of color, In. one
word, a maturity, that not only wins the
heart, but Irresistibly commaHis the Judg
ment. The spirit of the performance Is not
so much that of "Wllhelm Melster" which,
Indeed, It recalls as it is that of Lnngfel
low's "Hyperion"; but it Is the penuine
German spirit the peculiar blending of
seemingly incompatible elements expedi
tious promptitude end bluff humor with
wli'tfuf, tender sentiment and drifting,
dreamlike, poetic sensibility that marks
the German character in Its most attractive
phase. Achievements of this order main
tain the dlwnlty of the dramatic art and
prove Its value; not simply because they
reveal the actor, but because they benefit
the audience. The fulfillment that should
attend civilisation, as Its last result, Is a so
ciety chHracterlsed by purity of life nnd
gentleness of manners a fruition possible
only when virtue becomes elemental and
Justice supreme. Meanwhile, as things are
constituted, the great need of thy" hour Is
relief from the Incessant pressure of care
and solace from the bitterness of grief, and
thnt requirement Is. In some mensure. sat
isfied by such poetic Ideals as Mr. Mans
field has, in this Instance, marie a living
force., Diversified embellishments ornament
the play; scenes of splendid revelry and
scenes of royal state; there Is a pageant of
frolic; and the enchantment of music is In
voked, to csst around this simple story of
love and los. of sorrow nnd of noble sub
mission, the soothing glamour of delicious
sound. But aside from all this, and above
It all, the pulssince of the representation
is the spirit of the actor, making It beauti
ful as it passes, and. with sprightly, deli
cate, buoyant art and spontaneous tender
ness, leaving In every mind the strong in
centive, slwsvs and at any sncrlflco, to do
that which is right, and patiently to en
dure the ordalnment of inexorable fate.

Joseph Le Branlt's latest offering in th
tin of melodrama, "Her First False Step,"
will be the attraction at the Krug theater
the first ha(f of the week, opening with
the matinee today. The drama la In five
sets and the action Is swift and cumulstlve.
Among the stirring scenes which go to
make tip this drama Is the rescue of a
child from a den of huge African lions.
This occurs In the fifth act, which shows
the Interior of a circus tent. The child Is
thrown Into the cage by the villain snd Is
rescued by Its mother, who enters the cage
and snatches the child from the Jaws of
death.
"Are You a Mason?" comes to the Krug
for matinee and night performances Thurs
day only. Last year two companies were
necessary to fill the demand for this
amusement medium, and this senson the
best members of the two organisations
have been drawn together to Insure a
more perfect performance than that of
last year. The central Idea Is that of a man
purporting to Join the Masons when In
reality he has not. Various sub and counter
plots lend to the general effect and a lovs
story completes onp of the most artfully
constructed farces cf the present day.
"The Minister's Son" Is the attraction
at the Krug Friday and Saturday nights
and Saturday matinee. The play Itself
Is a pastoral comedy, depleting life and
scenes as they exist In everyday life. A
beautiful srhry of heart Interest, told with
loving simplicity. The scenery. Is entirely
new and very extensive, each act being
special, thus adding to an already finished
production.
At least five of the eight acts opening a
week with a matinee today at the Or-
pheum will have comedy to offer. To add
variety there will be legerdemain, song,
Instrumental music and dnnee. The head
line feature will be Sam Edwards and
company. Mr. Edwards will probably be
most readily recalled In "All the Comforts
of Home." Supporting him will be Sophia
Brant snd Mr. Francis Stuart. Their
vehlelo will be a sketch entitled "A Pass
for Two." Keourh and Ballard' will pre
sent a sketch called "A Vaudeville Sur
prise," constructed so as to offer the
greatest range for the..dlplay of versatil
ity by the players "A Picture from Life"
will be the vehicle for those "tramp"
character actors, Lew Bloom and Miss
Cooper. Last season Mr. Bloom appeared
here In monologue. T. Nelson Downs will
be among the Initial bidders. He Is
called "The King of Coins" and will offer
a stunt in legerdemain. James Richmond
Olenroy, "The Man with the Green
Gloves," promises a freshly culled budget
of Celtic Jokes with his brogue. A rapid
fire talking act will be contributed by
Phil and Nettle Peters. Herrmann La
haan Is proclaimed the latest find In the
way of a boy prodigy. Master Lahaan Is
only IS years old, but It Is claimed he
renders selections from such masters as
Beethoven. Liszt and Mozart with sur
prising ease and skill. The klnodrome
pictures promise to be of more than usual
Interest, especially to the children. The
fascinating story of "Robinson Crusoe"
will be Illustrated In a series of scenes,
commencing wittf the "ship wreck" and
continuing to the home coming, when jitia
wirs is round aged and the children grown
up.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Have you ever stopped to think of the
flowers which are "born to blush uns?en,"
even though they do not necessarily "waste
their sweetness on the desert air?"
In life, along all avenues, we come across
these ministering ones, who apparently aro
wasting their fragrance, and who are do
ing a work which does not come to the ksn
of mankind, until ws have accldently stum
bled across them.
I have In mind the musloal profession,
but you can go Into other lines yourself.
The solo has been sung. The audience Is
now free to Interchange comment. Some
people say one thing and soma another. It
Is ail about the singer. She sang well, or
he Interpreted badly, or she phrased beau
tifully or his tone-production waa poor.
And how few of us think to mention the
artist who filled In the background, which
really was quite as Important aa the song I
And my matter-of-fact one says, "Go to,
now, what Is that to usT Why should ws
hasten to analyze the whole thing, and all
thatT Why can we not enjoy It, as a
whole? Analysis kills enjoyment."
And then, he laughs at me, and says
things about me which make ma laugh too;
and he calls ma sentimental and
things like that. So that makes me think
seriously. For when a man calls you
nsmes and things he admits your superi
ority In something!
And. I come to this fact: In our efforts
to refrain from sentlmentallsm we often
kill sentiment, and sentiment (the word
being a direct derivation from the Latin
"sentlre," meaning "to precelvo by the
mind and senses," "to feel'.') means noth
ing more nor less than feeling;. and feel
ing Is close'.y, very closely, akin to love;
and love is God; for God Is love.
We should be careful lest we kill senti
ment. Let us try to find ths flowers that blush
unseen.
That secompanlst furnished the most
delightful subject tor meditation. Notice
her gifts. First, you see that she has a
very clean and well-balanced technique.
That fn Itself Is a strong point. Secondly,
she has the self-control and repose'isuch
rare gift) which enables her lo accom
modate herself readily to ths Impulses
which sway, at the moment, the aoul of
him who sings. Thirdly, she has Judg
ment, as can easily be; noticed by the way
In which Fhe accommodates her dynamlo
force to his softer or larger tones.
And then, she has,' she must have ths
poet's insight. And all these gifts help
to make her what an accompanist of ability
always Is, an unobtrusive personality a
flower that Is born to blush unseen. The
next time you hear a solo, take In the
accompaniment, too. You will be surprised
to see how quickly your enjoyment of
music will Increase, because after all,
musical growth consists not altogether
of what you hear, but also very largely
of how you hear! '
This from the purely selfish standpoint.
Then, I suppose, (with some notable ex
ceptions In your acquaintanceship) there ere
very, vesy few of us who do not wish to
know more, to learn more, -on all things,
there are in fact very many of us who are?
glad to learn something about something
not In our own line of work, every day.
This Species of listening to music,' Will
develop one's hearing resources admirably.
And when ons has learned to listen In
that broader way, one will soon learn to
look for other unseen blushers.
And his thought will try to unite with
the thought of the composer, and he will
see things he has not dreamed of, and he
will, see definite purpose on the composer's
kpart. In connection with that sequence, of
chords or that peculiar movement. And
so on. Even to ths piano builder and the
piano volcer and the piano tuner. They
are all, at times, flowers which are born
to blush unseen.
Our capacity of personal, enjoyment Is
In direct proportion to our capacity of ap
preciation of the one doing It. Aa It has
been said by those of o'.d-tlms many times
and oft: "Wei get Just what we give,"
The more appreciation we gTve, the more
enjoyment ws get.
I have received word from a musical cor
