THE OMAHA DAILY BEE; SUNDAY, JANUARY 10,. 100.
ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
Iat week held nothing of marked great
ness for' the edification of the people who
go to the theaters, and yet the attraction
offered In Omaha were sufficient to tempt
out more people than have attended during
a full week In a long time. Each of the
local housrs did most encouraging business,
a fact that Is In a measure due to the pres
ence of actors who are personally popular
In these parts. Among these Is Miss Jane
Ketinark, who haa been playing Cigarette
in "Under Two Flags" for tho last two
seasons. Miss Kennark made many warm
frlsnds during her residence In Dmaha,
when, she was a member of the Woodward
Stock company, and these were certainly
pleased to note the Improvement she had
made In the part during the year since she
vu last here. Not that her ability has
ao much Increased, but there was an un
fortunate air of constraint about the com
pany last season that operated against the
best production of the play. The reverse
Is true this season, and Miss Kennark now
finds herself excellently supported In all
he, undertakes, with the result that she Is
capable of giving a much more finished and
ympathetio presentation of a role whose
portrayal depends ao much on the sympa
thy of the company as well as that of the
audience. The engagement of Miss Ken
nark was on of the most successful of th
season from every point of view.
Another favorite at the Boyd wa Mr.
Tim Murphy, who comes to us this season
with the best play he has yet offered In
Omaha. This statement will very likely
be challenged by partisans of the late Mr.
Hoyt, who recall all too readily the triumph
Mr. Murphy won as Maverick Brander, and
Insist on measuring his every achievement
by that yardstick. But In Broncho Jim
Mr. Murphy has a part that I far ahead of
Maverick Brander, and the play Itself,
while It might be Improved In some minor
particulars. Is far In advance of the Hoyt
farce. It la a comedy with all of a suc
cessful comedy's essentials, and the satis
faction that this popular comedian finds in
It I plainly evident from the sent with
which be enter on it performance. Mr.
Murphy, too, enjoyed liberal patronage dur
ing his short stay.
Still another favorite who received much
deserved attention fromthe Omaha people
during the week la Miss Lilian Burkhart,
who was at the Crelghton-Orpheum with a
new one-act play. Mis Burkhart ha not
been well since the opening of her season
and ha been unable to do all she wanted
to owing to lack of strength. She has in
he repertory at present a one-act tragedy
which she has promised to present at least
once a week during the present season, but
which she haa been physically unfit to do.
i It deals with a phase of the Jewish condi
tions In Russia, the tale being based on
an Incident of the massacre at Kieff some
ten year ago. Unless something inter
vene. Miss Burkhart will present this
traglo tory In Omaha on her next visit
here.
Out of the Iroquois theater fire has come
ome good, mainly In the way of addi
tional precaution for the safety of the
publio who gather In great number at the
various place of amusement. Like all
other spasmodic reforms. It is taking on
extreme forms In some places, and In others
very nearly approaches what may be bet
ter described a '.'grand stand" manouver.
The honest manager, who ha the good of
his patron at heart, ha never needed the
pur of this sort of calamity to urge him to
adopt whatever ; protective measures he
may, but the present Instance has moved
Mm to overlook hi theater for the pur
pose of eelng If he be supplied with all
that I necessary or essential. Omaha ha
been fortunate In having It theater In the
hand of men who feel the responsibility
that devolves upon them and who do not
begrudge the expense If It only brings
added security or a sense of security. Each
of the Omaha theater had been given a
thorough Inspection before .the Iroquois
horror burst on the world, and had been
pronouneed as safe as the law requires by
the building inspector and the chief of the
fire department. At the Krug some- ug
restlon for change were made, as at the
other houses, but these dealt with minor
feature aolely. Since the fire eack of the
manager ha proceeded without th innr
of official direction to make still other ,
change to the end of lessening the danger
in - case of fire or panlo from any cause.
Kxit have been carefully overhauled,
stairway examined, fire escape ever
hauled and every possible precaution taken
to provide for easy escape in event of dis
aster. Eaoh house I equipped with full fire
fighting apparatus, hose .nossles, stand
pipes and the like. Including the "sprink
lers" to flood the stage.
At the Boyd Manager Burgess haa em
ployed an expert fireman, one who had
year of experience on the Omaha depart
ment, and ha placed him In full charge of
alt the appointment of the theater In re
gard to fire. He ha also provided numer
ous additional appurtenances to be used In
emergency. One other thing he did which
commend ltelf a one of the most
thoughtful of all his moves, and that Is to
farrang the asbestos curtain In the
theater that It can be lowered from the
tage floor as well as from the fly gallery.
Till make 1t absolutely certain that th
curtain will come down, no matter what
happen to the man tn the fly gallery.
When tha front door of th Boyd la opened
now every door In the theater 1 unlocked
and during th performance some one Is
atatloned near each, exit to see that It Is
opened if needed.
At the Crelghton-Orpheum Manager
Retter ha been equally active. He wa
the victim of a sensational report to the
effect that the steel curtain at this theater
wa unmanageable and that any attempt
to lower It suddenly would result in "tear
ing the house down."' This absurd state
ment wa traced to a young reporter who
had made no examination of the curtain
knd who would know little more If he had.
The curtain, which I a ponderous affair,
weighing over seven ton. Is so built and
counter-balanced that two men can handle
t with ease. It moved a little slow, and
consequently faster gear was put in. so
that now th curtain can be lowered In
forty seconds. For several years sfter the
t'retghton theater was opened this steel
curtain was rsNed and lowered at each
performance. n1 patrons of the house
were familiar with It; this practice haa
"Cesss, give uituttW
MU.WAUk.Ba.
"Tht bier with an honest tuccirij tfuaMy.
Has m equal in this or any o!4 country."
Always the Sams
tecu revived by Manager Holier, and tiie
curtain Is never out of eight of the au
dience now. Borne change have also been
made In the electric lighting fixtures on
the stage, the permanent "flood" lights In
the first entrance having been rearranged
so that they cannot possibly Interfere with
the operation of any of the curtain. All
the house scenery and extra drop have
been removed from the stage to the scenery
dock, where there 1 practically no danger
from fire, the change being made to allow
the presence on the stage of the minimum
amount of scenery at any on time. With
thl arrangement the danger of serious fire
Is greatly lessened, for It leave very little
to burn. Other minor alteration havo
been made, all tending to make more cer
tain the safety of the audience In case of
emergency of any kind.
At the Krug the electric Installation wa
of later design than at the other houses,
and practically no changes were necessary
there. In the body of the theater a large
number of seats were removed In order
that another aisle might be provided, thus
making exit easier. The outside doors were
overhauled, and everything that could be
suggested was undertaken to lessen the
darftger of loas of life in event of any dis
aster. The Krug's "sprinkling" apparatus
I of the latest design and is capable of
turning loose a perfect tfeluge of water
on the stage In case of emergency.
If the Omaha people have felt any trepi
dation In th matter of attending the thea
ter, it has not been noticeable at the box
office. This last week witnessed a general
revival at each of the three houses, and
every performance was attended by large
audiences. With . th knowledge that the
managers are keenly alert to the condition
and are doing all they can to provide se
curity as well as comfort for their patrons,
there Is no reason why the Omaha man or
women should not enjoy In tranquillity the
play.
Lilian Burkhart has as keen a sense of
the ludicrous as any, her natural bent
being for comedy, while her instincts are
Inflexible for the verities. She cannot abide
the Incongruous, a feature of her llttlo
p'.ays that ha been often noted, but now
and then she is the victim of circumstances,
and after the first chagrin ha passed sho
enjoys the situation as much as anyone.
One of her adventure In thl line befell
her at Philadelphia last fall, when she was
presenting a one-act play of a decidedly
traglo turn before an exclusive audience
at an entertainment given by the Toung
Men's Hebrew club of the Quaker City. In
the opening scene of the little tragedy,
which 1 by Mr. Goldsmith of Philadelphia,
the husband and wife are seated,' discuss
ing family affairs, when they are inter
rupted by a servant's announcing that the
girl from the milliner's has" come with th
hat for madame to examine. Miss Burk
hart goes on:
"Mr. Scott and Miss Denlson were pro
ceeding very nicely with their lines, when
the announcement was made, and, as the
Play require, the servant was directed to
bring in the hats. Four of these, carefully
enclosed in boxes, were carried on, and the
business of the play went on. Miss Denlson
took the first one from the box, and hold
ing It up so that It could be plainly seen,
remarked to Mr. Scott, her supposed hus
band: " 'What do you think of this, dear? It's
a beauty, and only S30.'
"A titter broke out In the house, which
wa soon a roar of laughter. 'Horrors!'
thought I, 'What ha the poor woman saldf
I could see her face turn red as she bravely
tried to hold back her feelings.
" 'Look at this one, love, "for 127.' she
said, taking up another hat, and again the
scream of laughter swept the hall. I was
dumfounded, for there was nothing in tho
remark that wa calculated to excite such
laughter, and a the play 1 traglo In It
every aspect, I could not conceive any cause
for the hilarity other than that our efforts
were failures. I had to wait some time
outside for my cue, and Miss Denlson and
Mr. Scott went on with the play, finally
selecting the hats, and sending for the
milliner's girl to come and get the money.
This was my signal for entrance. Once
on the scene I discovered why the people
had laughed, and I assure you I had a hard
time for a minute to keep my face straight
myself. Tou must know that in Philadel
phia is a store that makes a specialty of
copying fashionable hats at cheap prices,
nothing coming above $4.98. Thla Is Lltt's,
and on the front of every hat box was a
label that could be read a block, 'From
Lltt's.' Tou can Imagine the effect on that
audience when Mis Denlson held up one
of those hats and spoke of It as costing
130."

DIM
spent a season of several month at Wal
Urk' thnatnr. New York, where much wa
added to It. It received the commendation
of critical New'Tork and Wa pronounced
one of the hurt musical things on Broad
way. The cast, a to principals, haa been
changed In but one or two instances. As
It Is, It Includes Frank Moulan, Gertruda
Qulnlan, Walter Lawrence, Frank Frear,
George O'Donnell, Melville Collin and
Helen Tomllnson. Cherldah Simpson is
the prima donna of the company, taking
the place of Maude Lillian Berrl. She will
be remembered as the prima donna with
"The Burgomaster" Inst season. The
chorus, which 1 very large, Is said also to
be very beautiful.
"The Charity Nurse" come to the Krug
this afternoon for th first half of th
week. The scenes are laid In New Eng
land and New York. There are no slum
scenes, no uncalled for profanity, no gun
play nor Impossible climaxes, but a nar
rative of events Involving the life history
of a blind pastor's daughter, whoae ambi
tion to assist her afflicted father has In
duced her to clandestinely leave the home
circle lured by the miwepresentatiens of
a New York "shtrk." The cast la said to
be exceptionally good, with Selma Herman
portraying the leading role. In the part
or "Bessie Chalmers" thl actress Is said
to have really made the "hit" of her career.
Two little children have important roles.
'A Son of Rest" Is the medium In which
Manager Broadhurst and Currle are star
ring Nat M. Wills, whom they hav sur
rounded with a company of some sixty peo
ple that contain many favorite farceurs
and two score or more of pretty women.
Mr. Wills la the central figure of the en
tertalnment In the garb of tho "weary
Willie" type, but the author has provided
ror we presentation of other players. That
lilllputlan comedian, who 1 known simply
as uabriel, a diminutive little manikin,
scrace twenty-six Irfehes high, ha several
scene and there Is much ensemble work
mat snows up the strong chorus. The
ong. My Dixie Anna," and other original
numbers follow In quick succession. Thla
company carries the entire scenic produc
tion and will be seen at the Krug theater
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening
next, with a matinee Saturday.
James J. Corbett will head the Orpheum
bill for the week beginning matinee todiy.
Admitting a prevailing curiosity to see the
man fo" the fame he has won in the box
ing arena, his merits as an entertainer In
a vaudeville stunt are said to be such as
to warrant commending him to the patrons
of the house. HI monologue is described
a a genteel and refined delivery of bright
torle. Monroe, Mack and Lawrence will
present "The Two Senators," their new
comedy sketch, said' to be as big a lauch
maker as their "How to Get Rid of Your
Mother-ln-Law," In which they may be
pleasantly recalled. Clarice Vance, ren
dering the coon songs with which she has
established her reputation, will be one of
the vocal features. Bonner, known as "the
horse with tho human brain," will be
offered as .the sensational number. This
aalmal has been exhibited In nearly every
European and American country and la
described as a phenomena. Calculating In
figures and Intelligently answering varied
questions being among hi accomplish
ments, exemplifying thinking capacity of a
high order in a equln. "A Rube's Visit to

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Commenting upon the late demise of Mr.
Aaron Cahn, which was referred to last
Sunday In this column, Mr. H. H. Field Of
Council LlulT write The Bee and state
that he first formed the acquaintance of
Mr. Cahn some years ago, when Omaha
and Council Bluffs were frontier villages.
Mr. Field say that they had In thos
day of long ago an orchestra composed
of what the English people would call dis
tinguished gentlemen amateurs ,in other
words, nonprofessional music lovers and
that they played at the legislative ball at
the opening of the territorial capital,
where the high school now stands, and th
opening ball at Herndon house, now the
t'nlon Paclflo headquarters. Later, thl
distinguished orchestra played at a ball
and supper on the occasion of the presi
dent proclamation fixing the eastern ter
minus of the Union Pacific railroad.
The first violinist' was Mr. Bhults; clar
ionet, Byron Reed; flute, Mr. McLain; sec
ond violin and prompter, H. H. Field; bass,
Mr. Cahn.
Mr. Field writes: "As I look away back
and recall the happy faces of the throngs
of gallant men and beautiful women that
graced those occasions, and wonder how
many have passed away, and realise that
I alone am left of that orchestra, I fully
appreciate those beautiful though pathetic
lines by Tom Moore:
When I remember all the friends so linked
together,
I've awn around me fall like leaves in
wintry weather:
I feel like one who treads alone,
Some' banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled, whose garland' dead,
And all but he departed.
I am often told that Omaha is a very
poor place to hear concert in.
You have often been told that It is a pity
that we have no opportunity to hear good
music.
I would like to have these questions an
swered:
Why. doe every concert by a visiting
artist of acknowledged reputation go
begging?
Do we patronise what does come?
If we are not faithful in that which is
least, shall we be faithful In much?
I have received a letter from Mr. Charles
Baker of Chicago, who Is managing the
tour of Ottokar Malek, the pianist, and
another of those flowers of Prague con
servatories, to which city as a producer of
wonders Kubellk first drew our attention.
Mr. Baker tells me that Malek will play
at the Boyd theater on Monday evening,
February 8.
It is Just possible that Lillian Elauvelt,
the very popular American soprano, may
be heard here in concert in the near fu
ture. Mr. Pony Moore and Mr. Charles
Stephens have both told me that they were
In negotiations with her manager.
Just a word, while making these an
nouncement. The trouble with thee con
cert matter In Omaha Is that there Is no
work done. Go and watch how Mr. New.
man, or Mr. Baker, or Mr. Collins, or Mr.
Beach of Chicago work up a concert, and
there is yet another who manages George
Hamlin's Sunday concerts; I think It Is
"Billy" Ettln. They do not alt around In
musio store and talk about what the
probabilities will be, neither do they spec
ulate over the coffee and cigars a to why
the people of Omaha do not rush and buy
admission. Our local manager are not
hustler.
Now, I dislike to say this, for personally
I reckon each of them amongst my per
sonal friends of long standing, but by the
beard of th "profits," they will not work.
Sending out a few circular and -sticking
two-lnoh ad in one issue of the dally
papers will never do the business."
There are enough people In Omaha, Coun
cil Bluffs and South Omaha to give good
audience for an artist, and if there were
a little effort made on the part of the
manager to let th people know some
thing about th attraction, If the advertis
ing were well worked up, Interesting ad
vance notice written, personal canvasses
made, etc., any concert could be made to
pay.
Why doe not some enterprising young
woman try her hand at it? There is
money In the business. There are people
who want to go to these musical affairs,
and they would go frequently if they knew
Just what they were going to.
Of course, you and I know about Lillian
Blauvelt, her name la as familiar to us
as that of Nordlra. But how many stu
dent of musio In Omaha really know of
her? Now, honestly, I It not a small
minority? How much then, will the ordi
nary theatergoing public, or the average
musio lover know . about such a one? I
do not mean Blauvelt' especially, but I
mention her as a type.
, How many people, think ye, in the large
audience which heard Busanne Adams re
cently, knew whether or no there wa such
a person, until Mr. Willis' advance notices,
pictures and clever advertising came out7
I may be very Incorrect in my suppositions,
and if I am, I am honest enough to be
very thankful therefor.
And I have a message for the dear stu
dent. '
There are going up and down In thl
town, wive and daughter of Omaha busi
ness men, (who are howling themselves
hoarse at Ak-Sar-Ben den every year,
about Omaha, and all that), and these
same wives and daughers are telling the
musio student of Omaha that they should
hasten to get away from Omaha, they
should go to Chicago, and they say with
such a sad, patronising air, almost these
words, "I really feel so sorry for you, that
you can not go to Chicago, because you
know, there are no advantages In Omaha,
and you could do so much there, and you
can do nothing here."
Yes. there Is one feature of Ak-Sar-Ben.
I should strongly advise a "Ladles' Aid
society" In connection therewith, so that
the local Jingoism of some of the brave
sir knights, If you please, would not be
maie laughable by the absurd anti-Omaha
spirit of their wives and daughters, who
purchase their raiment In Chicago, and
fain would have every musio student go
there, for what? to come back disap
pointed, or stay there, hopelessly lost In
a bitter and eternal shuffle amongst those
who are also seeking for a bare living.
I have heard thl story so often from
some of my pupil and from some pupil
of piano teachers, that I have become ac
customed to if.
- And the funny, irresistibly funny side to
It 1 this that th person who gives the
gratuitous advice Is always, Invariably,
and without any exception whatsoever, a
person who could not get a three-dollar-a-Bundsy
Job In Chicago, nor a two-dollar-a-Sunday
Job tn Omaha,' nor an engagement
at a concert for 5, to save their lives.
Discontented, defeated, disappointed, they
try to make other so unhappy they
are, and If false representation can do
anything, they will leave nothing unsaid to
accomplish th purpose.
I wish I had time to writ fully a his
tory of a few of the people, Omaha mimi
cal failures, and I will some day, "not
namln' no names," but drawing fairly ac
curate, picture descriptions, so that the
matter of guessing Identity will be com
paratively easy. I think such an article
would make, good "roagaslne" reading, for

Tha standard of success In musio In

And bow sorry I am, down deep In my
heart, tor the day when sho wake up and
find that she has not seen "opera" at all,
much less, been In it.
But such a on Is now gottlng tba best
of It. It 1 for her that Omaha paper
reserve their choicest space, their pictures
and their long notices. Think you, did
you ever see any of Omaha' leading
church singer In th last fifteen year
get such local notice as did a few farca

who never held a tbre-dollar-a-week local
church position, becausa they had not th

There 1 an Omaha girl of whom w
musician are proud, because sha haa gone
away and has accomplished big things. Cut
did sh com back to Omaha and advise
every student to run away and go to some
other place? I do not think so. It Is cer

Mis Munchoff deserve everything sha

Munchoff got her early training In Omaha,
and she has never yet saJd a word In

Mrs. Cnthcrine Ilea ton, of 1818 Isard street, says: "I was not well for
four or five years. My back ached across the small port and sharp twinges
caught me In the kidneys when stooping or rising. The kidney secretions
were Irregular and contained brick dust deposit. When I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I got a box at Kuhn ft Co.' drug store, corner loth and Doug
la streets. They helped me right off and In my case proved a splendid
remedy. I recommend them to any one who has symptoms of kidney
trouble."

When those "returned empties" talk to
you, dear student of our Omaha teachers,
and advise you to go and siorm the big
city, just size up the situation. Auk them to
show' you what they are doing In the way
of receiving financial appreciation, like the
young man wbo smoked, and, on befttg
lectured by a normmoker who carefully
compiled figure to show that In so many
years th young man could hav a '"brown
ton front" mansion with hi cigar money,
quietly linked ril arm In thut of th non
moker and ald: "Lef walk 'round and
e your brownston front." Needles to
ay there wa none.
And then remember the old fable of the
fox who got his beautiful tull caught In a'
trap and when b got rid of the trap and
tall h went around trying to get all th
other foze to do th same, showing how
much mora delightful It wa to be without
th tall. "That Is all very well," said one
of th older foxea, "but I do not think you
would hav recommended us to do this If
you had not got caught yourself."
