ABOUT PLAYS PLAYERS
Th. Fsverahsms formed the only feature
o( th. rk In Omaha, so tat as th. the
ater li concerned. Their coming had about
It th. element of novelty, for Mr. Faver
ahaan had not bean her. sine. th Season
ha waj riven John Drew's placa aa leading
man for tht Empire Theater Block eorn

the aama orgonlantlon. HI share In the
production of Sowing the Wind." "Liberty
Hull" and "Aristocracy" wui So pirns'
ntly remembered that people were quite
willing to accept him at a, atar, and were
not disappointed. More real Intareit, prob
ably, waa felt In the coming of Mra. rarer
ham, who waa unknown her aava by
name. She thoroughly realised the antic
Ifatlon; without affectation, simple, sln
cere, and apparently possessed of mind
tbat la aufflcletnly broad and analytical
to grasp the aubtletlea of a character, her
presentation of a woman who could be a
"good fellow" and a good woman at the
en me time waa ao delicately done M to
win for her at once the esteem of the
local public. The Favershama may come
to Omaha 'aa often aa they like, and will
always be welcomed.
During the course of a brief but Inter
eating chat on Monday evening, Mr. Paul
Qilmore remarked: "In connection, with
the debate about an endowed theater, I
have a suggestion to make. It would be
a good thing if some one would endow a
school to teach actora the English Ian
guage." Amen! to that, and let ua ex
tend the scope of the suggestion to Include
writers for the stage as well. In fact,
moat of the modern writers might easily
be Included in the list of those who for
get certain of the verities In their seal
for purity or fidelity to the theme. Mr.
Gllmore'e present play affords one or two
notable Instances of offense agalnat good
manners In this regard. In tbe past The
Bee has pointed out that people do not
ordinarily converse In epigrams: of course,
the bright and brilliant set who ft their
doings chronicled for atage purposes live
In an atmosphere that Is surcharged with
the static forces of wit and elegance, and
only a little agitation la needed to alter
the character of this latent element and
develop the dynumlc. In this Hoe the only
excuse for the very fine speeches we hear
from time to time In the mouths of actors.
Certainly this serves a purpose, for it
.continually Illustrates the possibilities of
our beautiful language, showing how deftly
phrases may be turned and how delicately
meanings may be shaded by one who un
derstands the use of the tongue. Yet seal
In this direction not Infrequently leads to
excess, just as seal iloes In almost any
direction. In the second act of "The
Mummy and the Hummingbird" each of
the two principal female characters is
called upon to deliver a speech of aome
length, one under the spur of chagrin at
her lover's bungling; the other goaded by
a sudden realisation that she Is about to
be discovered by the husband she has
abused, and each In a manner somewhat
hysterical. Mr. Henderson gives each of
these women under these trying clroum-
- stances sentences of Addisonian orotundlty.
Polished with Byronesque precision and
fitted together with Tennysonlan accuracy.
In the case of the wife the Speech Is a
sophistical defense of a false position, and
4s about the lust thing that would likely
come welling up from a heart surcharged
with a sense of Its own wrongs. Had hus
band and wife sat calmly down over a
up of tea, or something of that sort, as
husbands and wives always do when About
to dlsouss their Impending separation (if
we are to believe the smart writers!, one
would have expected the polished disquisi
tion on the ethics of married life, the
duty of a husband to see that his wife is
properly amused, and all that sort of thing.
But suoh outbursts do not ride forth on
the tide of passion; anger and indignation
are certainly provocatives of eloquence, but
are as certainly antagonistic to logical or
sequential argument. It Is hot unreason
able that Lady lAiinlcy should deliver her
self of a long speech Just before rushing
away to keep her appointment with the
Italian; but it la asking a little too much
of us to Insist that we accept the sareful
defense Mr. Hendorson offers as the spon
taneous outburst of a woman's heart un
der the trying circumstances. This Is
squally true of the Phllllpplc with which
Mrs. Thornton overwhelms Lord Ranalds
In the same act. The words and sentencea
are neatly put together and express with
ering Irony In the superlative degree, 'but
tt is as unlikely as it Is that she would
address him In Arabic. People do not talk
tbat way under normal conditions, and
rtalnly not under stress.
Another form of offending Is trices til to
tbe thoughtlessness of writers of flctl n.
One of the most familiar characters in
modern short stories Is the foreigner who !
peaks broken English. Not Infrequently
two of these are Introduced, and when
they are we have the weird spectacle of
two characters, each familiar with one lan
guage, conversing In a jargon supposed to
represent their concept or control of an
ether. When a third party who speaks only
English is present, this Is merely a trib
ute to politeness, snd la expectedi but hy,
oh why, should two Frenchmen, alone, ad
dress each other In a miserable dialect
that has come to conventionally represent
the French effort at modern Eng'leh? . Yet
you encounter this sort of thing In almost
every story In which such charactera are
Introduced, One writer who has gained a
great vogue, and who certainly deserves
lila popularity because he has the virility
and warmth of real life In his stories, has
made the mistake of having a half-breed.
French and Indian, talk broken Englte'i
to the dogs he drives over the frosen trail,
This la quite as bad aa the placing of a
long and neatly polished speech In ths
mouth of a character In a play when the
character Is supposed to be acting rfect.y
natural tit all other r Sards.
What is desired Is that writers shall give
due consideration to the element of proba
bility In their problems, snd rartlculnly
in the conversations they prepare. This
Is one of the most difficult of acquirements,
and few Indeed are the writers who have
It. Its rarity adds much to Its value, ar.d

aii ot una can be avoided,
however, by the use of Mother' Friend before baby comet, as this
great ILurnent always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
; reserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the
anger of.child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through
this critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.

should stimulate the endeavor to acquire It.
Merely mellifluous sentences sre' not
enough, for along with rythm must be
reasonableness, and the sentences must
mean something and sound well, too. And
to suit the modern demsnd for propriety
the writer must always keep In mind the
difference between written snd spoken
English; the fact that people may be very
precise, accurate, even polished In writing,
and quite laconic, even given to Id omstlo
brevity In their conversation. Foreigners
who are not thoroughly at ease with the
English language, when alone are quite
prone to resort to their native tongue; and
If it becomes necessary In a book or a play
(other than a Weberfleld or Roger Broth
ers), to have them converse It la merely
courteous to let them talk purs Eng'l-h,
or st least a literal translation of their
mother tongue. But don't Wk your char
acters to reclts essays on any topic. Peo
ple don't do tt In rest life, and the Isngusge
Isn't so circumscribed as to require It. The
biggest of Mess csn often be expressed In
a few words, snd even when the words are
many, their weight will not be lessened by
risking them simple.

Nothing but fresh fun, delightfully served,
marks ths three acts of humor and music
of "Weary Willy Walker," ths latest of
the tramp farce comedies. Which come to
the Boyd this afternoon and evening. It Is
clean and blight, 'and has a fine array
of comedians and dashing show girls to
Interpret Its wit and music. The engage
ment Is for Bundtty only.
On Monday evening Mr. Walter Dam
roach, the well known Interpreter and
lecturer on Wagner, with his New Tork
Bymphony orchestra and eight well known
vocalists, Will give "Parsifal" at the Boyd
theater. This Is properly the musical
event Of the season, and as such is hailed
by those of Omaha who really appreciate
art. Mr. Damroach, who has expressed
himself strongly on the subject of giving
"Parsifal" outside of Balreuth, does not
attempt an operatic production at all. The
music Is" given without costume or scenery.
On the other hand, those parts which many
hearera And too long and even dull are
omitted, and the performance IS curtailed
from alx and a half hours (groas) to the
length of an ordinary concert. Great care
Is taken, however. In making the outs ao
as to retain the most characteristic music
and the performance should - give one a
very good notion of "Parsifal. Those
who have heard It In operatic form in Bal
reuth of New Tork will be glad to refresh
their memories.. and thoae who have that
treat still to look forward to could have
no better preparation than by listening to
the tr.ualc In concert form. It may be sug
gested that the text should be studied In
advance as carefully as though the full
work were to be given with acenery, and
a reading of a description of the stage
soei.es will help to give one a fuller no
tion of the work. A valuable feature of
Mr. Damrosch's Interpretation is , the
accompanying lecture by him On "Parsi
fal," which be has given In all the prin
cipal eastern cities this winter and Is
really a special event In Itself.
Annie Kussell Is to give us at Boyd's
theater on Wednesday, April IS, "Mice and
Men," the play which Charles Frohman
had especially written for her by Made
leine L-uoetle Ryley, and In which she
made such a great suooess. Almost the
entire season at the Oarrick theater In
New Tork, was devoted to Miss Russell
lit "Mloe and Men," it proving to be such
a big success. Ths production here will
be as seen when the play waa originally
presented. "The cast Is one of the beat
thAt Charles Frohman Jias ever engaged
to support Miss Russell. Drear old Mrs.
Gilbert stilt temslns a member of the com
pany, and haa the best part In which she
has been seen In years. John Mason, Os
wald , Torke, John Olendinnlng, Charles
Butler and E. A. Eberle are prominent
members of Miss Russell's splendid com
pany. David Hlgglns and Orace Atweli will
present the new play entitled, "His Last
Dollar," under the management of Messrs,
Btalr Nloolai, at the Krug theater for
an engagement of four daya, beginning with
the matinee today. A share of the receipts
of the Omaha engagement will go to the
rire department relief fund. The ptsy tells
the story of a rich young westerner, who
has oome east to try his hand at Walt
street. The Incidents and troubles resulting
are Involved In the story of Bleanor
Downs, a Kentucky girl, who hns brought
her horse to race In the great futurity, and
the gradual development of the heart ro
mance of these two young persons con
stitute the basis of the play's plot. Mr.
Hlgglns, who has made himself well known
as an earnest and cspoble exponent of his
own Pla' "- characters, will appear as
joe Braxton, ana Miss Atweil as Eleanor
Downs. The supporting company Is large
and the play permits of an elaborate set
ting, which has been provided. The scene
of the drama is In and near New Tork
In the summer of 1891 and among the set
tings are the paddork at Sheepehead Bay;
a downtown pool room In the Wall street
district, and a scene at Long Branch. '
"Why Girls Leave Home" It the title
of the play that baa bee selected for the
Krug attraction Thursday. Friday and
Saturday. It Is said to be a play with a
strong lesson, combining all the qualities
which Risks for success In melodrama. The
! story Is thst of a young girl in a small
! town who leaves home with a young man
in opposition to her parents' wishes, and
j the various scenes depict the adventures
j and temptations that befall her In a big
j olty. The production le entirely new snd
j the scenery and costumes ars lavish and
elaborate. Vance Sullivan are managers
of "Why airla Leave Home." The open
ing performance will be given Thursday
night
The fset thst Hal Davis and Ins Mc
Cauley are billed as the principal lumln
arles of the Orpneum bill for the week
commencing matinee today adds a special
local Interest, for both these plsyers are
well known favorites here. Mr. Davis was
for severs) seasons leading comsdlsn with
the Woodward Stock company and Miss
Erery worn in eotet a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
leg of heir girlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children U often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.

McCauley the Ingenue. Their vehicle for
this engagement will be "Psls," a plsyette
by Edmund Day. It relates a story of the
Spark of love that refuses to die; of the
unfaithfulness of "the best friend." with
the woes that occasionally follow over
measured good fellowship. Humor Is In
jected here snd there and It Is climaxed
In a decidedly sensational scene. In the
support will tie Walter D. Oreen, who
also played with the Woodward company,
and William F. Powell. The Bisters
Ossch will be another of the prominent
features. They are attractive and mus
cular equilibrists and acrobats, who prom
ise a remarkable act and a number of
feats that sre very unusual for women to
attempt. Humorous burlesques of drama
and tragedy will be contributed by Jutes
and Ella Garrison, a salient part of their
turn being a rendition of "The Address of
Bpartscus to the Oladlntors." George H.
Wood, known as "the somewhat different
comedian." will he among those to pro
mote an effort directed at ths rlsibles,
while still another of the single-handed
workers, and a new comer, will be Hal

NEWARK MAN LEARNS TO TALK
New Jersey Victim of Assault lias
Forgotten ths 1'se of
Words.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co.. 1904.)
NEW YORK. April .-tNew York Her
ald ServiceSpecial to The Bee.) Although
In his thirtieth year, Martin Thorns Is be
ing taught to talk, just aa a little child
would be. Words of one syllable ars
spoken to him and he la made to repeat
them. He la being carefully led from
speaking single words to putting the words
together Into sentences and it is expected
that in a few months he will be able to
talk ss well aa would be expected of a
normal child of 3 or 4 years old.
Thorns was assaulted at his home, New
ark, two months ago by two men, who
thought to rob him of TOO which he was
believed to hays In his house, but he had
paid It all out a few hours before and tht
robbers got nothing.
Hs wss taken to the Beth Israel hospi
tal In Newark, where It waa found that
his skull was fractured ss badly by a
blunt Instrument with which he had been
struck that It waa found necessary to re
move a piece of bone two inches square
which was pressing upon his brain.
The operation was entirely successful so
far ss restoring him to health was con
cerned, except that when he returned to
consciousness and ever since, he hsd lost
(he power of speech. It was evident that
he could think well enough and he was able
to Indicate by signs when he was hungry
or thirsty, but when it came to forming
words lie was totally at a loss.
Gradually he came to understand what
was said to hlro. but It waa only a few
days ago that the patient efforts of sur
geons and nurres who huve been working
over- him began to bear fruit. He is now
able to speak the simplest words, however,
and yesterday pleased his teachers by ro
pea ting after them a word of two syllables.
