ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
In common with the other cities of the
west Omaha ta sharing the blow thnt fell
on the theatrical bunlnc when Chicago
theater were closed and the arrangement
for the season were totally disrupted. It
ta easily understood that the Interruption
In the routea, date and other details of
the sesson occasioned ty the Chicago em
bargo could not be readily adjusted and
that time waa needed for the making of
new plana for the remainder of the sea
sort. Booking for the Boyd, for example,
were "ahot all to piece-' for the month of
February and the latter half of January.
But the New Tork booking agencies were
at work all the time and making efforts to
Supply the cancelled date with a new ar
rangement. It was out of the question to
;et flrst-ctasa attraction In here for the
last three weeks, but the coming month
will see Rome Improvement In the situation,
and It la not at all unlikely that the end of
the sense n will note not a little of the bril
liance that ha been dimmed by the disas
ter. Among the dates that have been de
cided on during the last few day at the
Boyd are those for Blr Henry Irving, Mr.
K. H. Sothern, - Frank .Daniels and Anna
Held. These will be here durlriff February.
Other tour are being rearranged, and It Is
now practically certain that several other
of the great star will reach Omaha be
fore the heated term force a cessation of
theatrical activity. Among these are the
Roger brother and Mary Manntring In
her new play, "Harriet' Honeymoon." At
the Krug less of disorder resulted from
the Interruption, but ufflclent to result In
a few cancellations and rebooking. Most
of the attractions scheduled for appearance
at the Krug were so routed that their
dates here will not have to be set crer.
One of them, probably the strongest. Is
Mr. Flake, who will be her some time
after th middle of February. She will
play "Mary of Magdala," the Paul Heyse
drama In which she ha won such magnifi
cent triumph during tha last two seasons.
The verdict of the Chicago coroner's Jury,
which demand that the city authori
ties share the responsibility for the
Iroquol disaster with the owner
of th theater and the managers
of the company, will be generally
hailed a righteous. Examination of wit
nesses proved that the notorious New Tork
cry, "Higher up!" applied with force to
Chicago. It was not to lark of Inspection
that any fault n the construction, equip
ment or management of the Iroquois could
be charged. From the time the plans for the
theater were presented to the building de
partment of Chicago until after the theater
had been opened "Inspection" waa the order
of the day, until Will J. Davis, one of the
owners, complained to an Omnlia friend one
day that the building would cost more than
half as much the contract price on
account of the hindrance and annoyance
the builders had been subjected to by th
"Inspectors." Whjn the seats were put In
thirty "Inspectors" were employed In the
theater. It was known to the authorities
that the building was unfinished when It
was opened; the cupidity of the managers
led them to take the chance of Are and dis
aster,, rather than miss the opportunity of
getting the holiday business, which was
promising;.
Disaster came, and then the city authori
ties had a fit of hysteria such as has neve
been known before and every theater in
Chicago waa shut down, regardless of Its
condition. Theaters that had been doing
business for many years were suddenly dls
covered. to be unsafe, because they did not
' comply with th city building ordinance,
and although the fact had beenN patent to
th authorities for years, the law wa sud
denly put Into, fore in Its most drastlo
form. What loss this occasioned men en
gaged In the show business will never be
known. It is known that the "pull" hasn't
been abandonod to any degree. An Omaha
attorney was In Chicago quite recently,
and visited wlth a former friend who Is
now connected with the Chicago city gov
ernment, though In a drpartmeat that does
not coin Into contact with the-theaters.
Whenever the Omaha man wanted to go to
a theater, no matter which, th Chicago city
official, merely wrote on the back .of hi
card 'and the teat were forthcoming, with
out money and- without price, and good
one, too. Now, if a man whose Office did
not imping on the theater le so "strong"
what must be the case of the official who
doe come Into contact with the theaterT
And this Is only one phase of the condition.
As these facts become known the Chi
cago people, and th people outalde of Chi
cago, are thinking more and more of the
lesson that ha been taught by the Iroquois
affair. If th city official had been honeet.
Vo matter what the managers and owners
it the theater had wanted to do, they could
lot have opened their places of amuse
ment until the city laws had been complied
ilth. That la the ugly fact In the case.
I the safety of the public waa sold for the
lice of a few admission tickets, or for
ioney, then th men who sold It should be
lade to suffer. It may be that .none of
! city officials will ever be brought to
jlal for criminal responsibility In connec-
nn with the terrible affair, but It Is mor-
Sly certain that th city of Chicago will

were closed, and hundreds of actors who
had looked forward to a winter's work were
thrown out of employment. Again the
routing and booking of the season waa
overturned, and the whole System of the
theatrical world disrupted. Busied with
their affairs of the present, the managers
are making few or no plans for the future,
and next season holds ss little In prospect
as may be imagined. Not a manager or
promoter will undertake at this time to
say what he exepects to do. If they can
save anything out of the wreck of the
present they may undertake to put on
something new, but at present the outlook
Is that 1&04-05 will see more "revivals" than
any season in many ars.
Mr. William Winter of the New Tork
Tribune diein't view the present or future
with any especial equanimity. Here Is what
he has to say of the stage In New Tork
today:
There are more than forty theaters In
and about New York, and there Is scarcely
cne of them In which anybody Is doing
anything that is Interesting or Important.
They are open, as wood yards are open,
and scores of persons are sawing wood (n
them. Veterans, who might have played
beforo Noah, when he ianded from the ark,
wander about the flats and totter and
mumble. persons who were "supers" yes
terday are "stars" today. Three-cornered
rlrls, proclaimed as "actresses," rasp the
welkin with voices that rival the screech of
the peacock. The slimy muck of Mr. Ibsen
and the lunacy of Mr. Mseterllnck ere
made to trickle Into the public mind and
turn the public stomach. Degenerates from
foreign lands, provided with rancid plays
about libertines and wnntons. fix a stead
fast gase on the coast of Greenland and
whisper to the scenery In the third groove,
and are vaunted as prodlales of "nonius'
and "Intensity." Historical demireps of
England and Franco are theatrically cele
brated for social delectation. Women whom
scandalous divorce has made notorious dif
fuse upon the theater the effluvia of their
foul repute. Prizefighter and unspeakable
cranks John L. Sullivan, and "Kid" McCoy,
and Carrie Nation nrn obtruded as "ac
tors." The plays of the hour are mostly
furnished by writers who manifest the
brain of the rabbit combined with the dig
nity, of the wet hen. It seems only neces
sary to open a hole In the wall and call It
a theater, and a multitude rushes Into It,
to sweat and snlgver. There ha not been
a time In fifty years when the theater was
at so low a level as It has reached today
when the Impulse Is vanity, the motive is
greed, the method Is sordid engrossment,
the aim is exclusively "business," and the
reult Is a barren traffic snd an nrld waste.
Voices. Indeed, are faintly crying In the
wilderness, to signify that somebody be
neath the underbrush wants to "elevate the
drama": but these, In every case, are found
to be the voices of visionary sanies, like
the sentimental Mr. W. B. Yeats, whose
actual purpose Is only to elevate them
selves. The art of acting needs no "eleva
tion." It only needs competent represen
tatives and capable and efficient exercise
and display: and the present state of things
will endure until the number of theaters Is
greatly reduced, the hydra of monopoly
strangled and destroyed, 'a horde of In
competent performers driven Into other
pursuits, for which thev are fitted, the
played-out veterans tucked up in their
little beds, and the arena made clear for
th men and women who can really act.
Coming Events.
Wlllard Rlmms, the well known come
dian, will be Keen at the Boyd '.h!i after
noon and tonight In the farcical comedy,
"Pickings from Puck." This vehicle of fun
was evolved from the funny pictures and
funny stories of the quarterly "Pickings
from Puck." It contains but little or no
plot Just enough to string the comedy on.
A big chorus of pretty girls who wear
fetching costumes and who dance prettily
and sing melodiously. The music of the
piece la aald to be bright, sparkling and
tuneful. The company numbers thirty
people. Among those of prominence are
Bessie Lucler, Marguerite Bumham, May
D. Hall, Fred Luclef, Thomas Ryan, Wil
liam Woolml, O. Monlck. W. A. Williams;
F. H. Hlttler, George Summers, Harriet
Meeker, Earnest Marvin and the Crescent
quartet.
"East Lynne," . by the Forman-Dlllon
company, wlll.be seen at the Boyd Monday
and. Tuesday for a return - engagement.
Their stay Includes a special bargain mat
inee Tuesday, when any. seat will be sold
for the lowest possible price. Those who
saw the show Ourlng Its last. week's en
gagement here. can vouch for the;fact that
ic is me nest cast ana proauciion xne
piece has had In. quite a number of years.
Blanche Walsh, who created a great deal
ot favorable comment by reason of her
very realistic portrayal of Maslova In
"Resurrection" early In the current sea
son, will be seen In the same play at the
Boyd Thursday and Friday and a special
matinee Friday. The. company surround
ing Miss Walsh numbers forty-two people
and Is the same as that which gave the
play Its original presentation. The scenic
dress Is the same and Is very massive.
Walker Whltesldes, the clever young ro
mantlo actor will present two plays at
the Boyd Saturday. At the matinee he will
be seen In "We Are King" and at the
night performance "Hamlet." Miss Anna
Wolston heads the excellent support Mr.
Whltesldes has surrounded himself with.' It
was as "Hamlet" that Mr. Whltesldes rose
to stellar fame. Borne critics give Mr.
Whltesldes the credit of being the foremost
exponent of this role.
"At the Old Cross Roads" will be
presented here for a limited engagement,
starting this afternoon, at the Krug
theat-jr, by Arthur C. Alston'a com
pany of players. One "Parepa," an
octoroon upon the estate of Dayton
Thornton; Annabel Thornton, the heiress
to Magnolia Grove; Dayton Thornton, Its
master; Tom Martin of Myrtle Fern plan
tation; Doo Kerr, a steamboat gambler
on ths "Ole Mississippi;" the "Count"
de Monay from everywhere; "Young
MlestRslp," Liza's Moses in the bull
rushes;; Major Bradley Ferrar, one of
the old line; 0orge Chilton, the coroner;
Madge Thornton, a daughter of Dayton's
by a former marriage, and "Ole . Aunt
Ellxa," one of the Thorntons, are the
characters that go to make up th mlmlo
life of the romance. Th cast Is headed
by Esther Williams and J Ames M. Brophy.
Manager Alston has added as an extra
feature the "American Four Quartet,"
which has been one of the vaudeville head
liners fot the past three seasons.
The patrons of th Krug theater will
have for their attraction next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Sullivan, Harris &
Woods' big production of the sensational
New York drama, "Th King of Detec
tives." In this play are many thrilling
and sensational features. One ot,th best
situations is th climax of th court seen.
Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
le compares with
)ain and horror of
i-birth. The thought
where moving picture of a murder are
thrown on a screen to the amasement of
the Judge and Jury, who are tryfng the
heroine on a false charge. This feature
is a very expensive one, and In It are
used no less than 1.K2 separate and dis
tinct photographs. The company present
ing "The King of Detectives" Is a large
one.
About equally divided between those who
will make their Initial appearance her
In vaudeville and those who have come
on former occasions will be the list of
performers who are on the varied bill at
the Orpheum for the tveek beginning with
a matinee today. At the head of the list
comes a recent Importation by the Orpheum
Circuit company from Europe, the four
Llghtona. They sfe models of physical
development and will do posing and re
markable feats of strength. Still another
of the expected "headline" features will
be Eddie Olrard and Jessie Gardner In a
new farcical sketch called "Mr. Dooley
and the Diamond." Glrard'a Irish police
man, monkey Imitation and some other In
imatable comedy creations, have won him
popularity. He will be remembered In
"Natural Gas," as co-star with Donnelly.
Miss Gardner Is a plump and pretty sing
ing and dancing soubrette. Esmeralda,
the Instrumentalist, has let us sample her
xylophone playing before. Atav and Dclmo
will be among the new comers. They are
a pair of eccentric, Juggling comedians.
George W. Day, the monologulst, will un
ravel some funny stories. Annie Calde
well will furnish stories and song, while
the klnodrome will project entirely new
motion pictures.
Blauvelt, America's famous soprano, will
be heard In song recital Monday evening,
February 1.
Omaha Is very fortunate In having the
opportunity of hearing Blauvelt coming
from her triumph In grand opera In Eu
rope she will sing a group of Italian,
French, German and English songs.

THEATER OWNERS COMBINE
Hon. James E. Boyd at the Head of
an Organisation for Inter
Insurance.
The ownera of the leading theaters of tha
country are forming an association known
as "The Theater Owners' Inter-Insurance
Exchange," with Hon. James E. Boyd of
this city, owner of the Boyd theater, aa at
torney and manager.
The plan of this association, which Is to
be composed entirely of owners of opera
houses and theaters, will be to exchange
or Inter-Insure each other agalnat loss by
fire. A corps of expert theater Inspectors
will be maintained, and any theater that
can meet the requirements of the exchange,
as far as the construction of the building
and Its fire protection Is cpneerned, may be
Insured In this exchange upon the owner
of same becoming a member of the asso
ciation. It is estimated that this will ac
complish a great saving of expense by the
deduction of the cost of fire Insurance, In
addition to numerous benefits to be derived
from ths many safeguards to be Inaugurated
and suggested, and the feature of period
ical and expert Inspection will be one which
will be especially appreciated by the public
Such Inspection would be entirely free from
any local Influence or political preferment,
and It Is not too much to hope that this
In Itself would practically prohibit a
repetition of the Iroquois horror.
The selection of ex-Governor Boyd, who
has been a theater owner for over twenty
years, aa manager and attorney, and of
Omaha for the headquarters of the ex
change. Is a wise move on the part of the
originators.
The Boyd and Crelghton theaters of this
city will enter this exchange and there Is
no doubt that all of Omaha's theaters will
stand the test of a most rigid inspection.
Much good can be looked for by the for
mation of this association In the way of
Improvement In theaters from a standpoint
of safety to themselves, to surrounding
property and, above all, to the assurance
of aecurlty granted to patrons. '
WATER COMPANY GETS WRIT
Becnres Mandamus in Federal C'onrt
to Compel City to Pay
Hydrant Rentals.
An alternative writ of mandamus was
issued out of the United States circuit court
yesterday by Judge Hunger at tha in
stance of the Omaha, Water company, plain
tiff, against the city of Omaha and the
mayor and city council and city treasurer
of Omaha, :-equlring the defendants to levy
a sufficient tax to pay two separate Judg
ments of 146,040 each, for hydrant rentals
with costs of suit, found against the city
snd In favor of tha plaintiff, the first dated
November 10, 1903, with interest from July
1, 03, and the second January 12, 1904, both
of which bear Interest at 7 per cent per
annum.
The plaintiff's petition states that no sum
has been .paid on said Judgments, that they
are still both due, that It is tho duly of the
defendants to lew a sufficient amount to
pay said Judgments and that a tax may
be levied therefor. Also that the d fend-
nts wrongfully pretend to be without au
thority to pay said sums and wrongfully
neglect to include said sums in the levy
made for the ensuing fiscal year. Plaintiffs
pray that defendant be commanded and
enjoined to Include In the levy the sums
due plaintiffs on these Judgments with
costs and that the city treasurer be di
rected to collect the same.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Th following few thought were em
bodied In a lecture delivered before the
Young Women' Christian association, re
cently by the musical critic of The Bee,
and at the request of a few, a very few
persons, I have taken the opportunity to
reproduce them here, believing that there
may possibly be something flndable therein,
which someone may care to find.
I am going to talk to you for a little while
on the subject of "Interpretation In Music."
I must ask you all to remember that this
is a tremendous field, snd 1 cannot begin
to enter Into details, but my object is to
suggest to you a few thoughts in connec
tion with my subject, which may be of use
to you, and which will, I hope, lead you
to make further study Into the subject,
theoretically and practically, and that it
may lead you to look for meanings In what
ever you sing, or play, or hear.
We must not forget that there is a vast
difference In listening to a composition with
a view to enjoying It, and listening with
the expectation of understanding it tech
nically. How often have I heard people say,
especially of a musical masterpiece, "Oh,
It Is all Greek to me; I cannot understand
music." Many people have an Idea that
when the see the name Beethoven, Moxart,
Haydn, or Wagner upon a program, that It
la far beyond their capacity, because they
do not understand, and have never made
a technical study of the art of music.
True, to a degree. It is beyond the
average conception of the average auditor,
but Is the capacity of enjoyment limited
by the understanding of the science?
I have been recently spending some time
looking at a picture In a local art store,
which has held me fascinated, and which
I would like to own, but cannot. It is a
scene upon a coast, water, rocks, sky, that
Is all. There la no story told In descriptive
manner upon the canvas. Vet to me the
picture opens up legends, and sea tales, and
lover's lives, and it fills me with a peace
and quiet, as I muse in front of It, and
study its tranquil waters and its mysterious
sky.
And yet, I know not one color in It by
tame. I know not the art of blending
one tint with another, in faot, I can not
draw a straight line. I painted a clump
of trees once, and a friend asked me why
I wanted to "paint haystacks." That was
enough. I quit, and the world has lost a
possible Angelo or Raphael. But such Is
fate.
However, to return to my subject. Sup
pose I had gone Into that art room ami
said, "I cannot understand painting. I
guess that Is all right. If you say it is." I
am content to gaxa upon that picture and
drink In Its beauty to the full capacity of
my uneducated intellect.
Now, Is It not a fact, that people very
often lose the opportunity of enjoying good
music because they are not satisfied to
listen and gHln all that they can by the
mere listening. If they would they would
soon find that the capacity for listening
would greatly increase in a very short
time.
Borne time ago we had in this city a
great actor, In a great play. The actor has
a name which Is a household word, as it
were, where the drama Is known In the
slightest degree. He is famous for his at
tention to detail In the sumptuous mount
ings which he gives to anything which he
presents. Every member of the cast knows
now to give the' real meaning to his lines,
no mattei how unimportant they may seem
to be.
The theater Is crowded; you and I have
stood In line for perhaps an hour to be a.1
lowed the privilege of paying a good, big
price to see the production of a classic.
We sit, breathless with excitement, ss
scene after scene unfolds before us. We
are affected by the little touches, the subtle
points which are brought forth In the In
terpretation, and although we do not un
derstand the ulea of acting, or of dramatic
utterance; though we do not know the
difference between a plot and a counter
plot In construction; though you and I
would make vew poor sticks upon that
stage, yet we are so interemea xnac we
find ourselves taklne; actual part In what
is going on before us.
low, how many people would go to such
play as I started to speak of and say,
fell. I never took an elocution lesson In
my life; I am no actor; I cannot under
stand this. It Is a bore?"
But vet that la rjrerlselv the manner In
which many people, who adore ragtime,
and nothing else, listen to good music.
A friend of mine In this city, who Is a
highly educated gentleman, and who has
been aroflnd many places In his travels,
told me once that he had gone to hear a
presentation of the music drama of the
''Walkuere," by Richard Wagner. He said
that It waa most uninteresting to him; that
he did not understand It at all end that In
fact he was not at all Impressed by the
music or one, Mr. Kicnara wagner. I was
surprised, and you may Imagine how much
more nurprisea was wnrn lie Rumiiira to
me that he did not have a copy of the
libretto; that he did not know the ejtory
which was carried through the drama; did
not know the Idea which Wagner had in
mind In that wonderful creation of his; had
never heard a lecture upon It, or. In fact,
prepared himself In any way to understand
That Is unfortunately the way In which
many people listen to music.
It would not be my advice to snyone to
regin the study of Interpretation by trying
to follow closely a Waiener music drsma.
But it one will try to understand tne music
which one is liable to hear presented In
the churches, concerts, muslcales. etc.. In
one's place, she will be surprised to see
how very ouicklv she will be forming n
discerning mind and a knowledge of music
generally. Heptn on the simple things anil'
see that you Interpret every line of every
hymn you may be called upon to sing.
Consider yourself an Interpreter, and lost
Imagine that the audience 1 waiting for
your interpretation.
What I n interpreter? It Is one who
translates or explain In your language
what he know in his own. His own lan
guage is very easy to him, and he In so
fecustomed to It that he, perchance, falls
to see murh of Its beauty himself. But
when he has to o rlowly and explain it
word for word, sense for sense, to someone
who is not versed in thst language, he will
bring out Just so much more meaning him
self., '

Miss Nellie Mitchell, No. 415 S. Eleventh street, says:
"After a fall I noticed mj back aching occasionally and
finally continually. It grew so that I could only lie per
fectly straight and very often was forced to sleep on the
floor in place of my bed. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Fills, obtained at Kuhn & Co's drug store, corner 15th and
Douglas sts., gradually relieved me of the aching until It
finally disappeared."

The aches and pains that assail n woman's back when
the kidneys are sick take all the life all the energy all
the ambition out of her. Backache makes her tirvd out
and weary, 'with' nerves unstrung she must attend to
daily duties rvt-n though racking kidney pains make every

are not relieved there is the annoyance and danger of uriu
