ABOUT PLAYS, FLAYERS AND PLAYHOUSES
Once again have the Ferris players
proved their popularity In Omaha, Warier
attendance than even lut tcison's suc
cessful record haa marked the flint week
Of their lesson, and the eoramente of the
people who go are even mora enthua.aatto.
All the praise that haa been bestowed on
the company so Jar stems meritai, too, lor
the performances have beeu uniformly
food. Tt la not an occaalon for wonder
ment, for the member of the company are
all capable and fiperl nced and have the
advantage of association with etch other
to the point of becoming faml.lar with the
methods ,ueed by each, and the leault
ahould only be a smooth performance.
And yet nut many people think of the lm
mcnaa amount of work the actors do
each week. It Is not like a "roud" com
pany, that apenda an entire season pi ly
ing one, or at the moat two or three play.
Two playa a week mean that while one h
being presented another la being rehearsed,
and the aetor Is thua forocd to carry at
the earn time the part ha la performing
and the part he li going to perform, a dual
task that not many people would care to
ahoulder. The evenness of the perform
ancee la but another Indication of the gen
eral sxoellence of the company as a whole.
During the week announcement was made
of the dliaolutlon of the Independent Book
ing agency. This Is but the natural remit
of the order of things established In the
business world of the theater, and did not
come aa a surprise to anyone who had
given the matter clore consideration, Dur
ing the winter The Bee pointed out the
coming of the end, and commented to some
extent on the falsa position In which the
members of the alleged "Ind -pendents" l ad
placed themaelves. The dissolution of the
firm of Weber at Field and the defection
Of Messrs. Campbell and Ilackett leavea
Harrison Qrey Fluke as the sole survivor
of the- independents and give the "trust"
full away In the field once more. The only
material difference this will make to
Omaha, la that It will permit of Miss Cros
man being booked at the Boyd again, and
give us a chance to see her in "Sweet
Kitty Bellalra" next season when she
comes west on her tour. We haven't missed
Jim Ilackett a great deal, but wa can
have him now. Ha will book through Klaw
A Erlanger for the next season, 'Mary
Mannerlng, the other member of the Hack
ett family, haa always been booked through
the "syndicate." It Is to be hoped that Mr,
of a humble shepherd. Allgl, on the mor
row of the ceremony which Is to make
Mm the husband of Vlenda. falls In love
with a fugitive girl, the daughter of Jorlo,
who. hounded by a rout of drunken peas
ants, seeks asylum beneath his roof. He
Is about to deliver her from them when an
angel appeara to him and protects the
daughter of Jorlo whose name, by the
way, is Mils dl Codra. Allgl take down
crucifix and lavs It across the threshold,
thu guarding against a rsld by the peas
anta. who fall upon their knees, their
. furv n,iinir In a cea mooy of
prayers. Taking Mlla with him, Allgl,
leaves his father's house ana rain im
rude mountain abode. In the grotto that
servea them as shelter. Aligl hews out
a mugh statue of the engel, Intending to
carry It to Borne os a present to the pope.
Mlln, vaguely comprehending the trouble
she has brought Into Allgl's life and fsm
llv, Is for flight, but the shepherd voices
his despair so lovingly und tenderly that
she changes her mind. He hs only hen
she Is his dearest beloved in all the world.
What should I do without thee? he
cries, with the simplicity of a child.
Allgl goes away for a few momenta ana
then comes his father, who airo is mad.y
i i a-iii, ih rinuahter 6f Jorlo. AllEl
returna. The two men claah In a scene of
tragic violence. "I am thy father; I can
do as I like, with thee, for thou art to me
even aa the ox in my stall, or aa my mat
tock or my spade. And If I will to pass
over thee with the . harrow and break thy
t.mr.u it ahnll be done. . . because
I am the father and thou the aon. To me
heih been given all power over thee from
the beginning." He calle for help endtwo
men come running to atrangle Aligi nd
carrv him off. With a blow from hi;
hatchet the hatchet with which he hewed
the rude image of the angel he alaya his
father. Human Justice takee Its course;
the shepherd Is about to pay the penalty
of parricide; he Is led before his father a

left her father's fireside she had constantly

death In his stead.

Julia Marlowe must look forward to her
nest season's engagement In association
with E. II. Sothern with even more of
eagerness, than Mr, . Qothern himself, for
It mean to her an escape from unworthy
things, She recent,ly appeared - In a re
vlva.1 of "Ingomar" In New York and this
wag followed by a presentation of a French
play, said to be by the author of "Zasa,"
and called "Yvette." It la just a little bit
th worst the charming Julia waa ever
asked to appear in, It th following from
th Cincinnati Fnqulrer'a correspondent Is
accurate:
Yvette waa the daughter of a luxurious
wanton and had recently returned from a
convent school to live among her mother's
glittering aet of evil women and dishonest
. men; that the girl waa ao Innocent as to
aee none of the sin about her; and that a
young man, slightly better than the rest,
debated offorlng marriage, or whether her
guiieieaanes waa mere coquetry, and that
a rellgloua solemnisation would not be nec
essary to tneir union.
Yvette. havlna- donned a bathlne suit in
innocent rrono, ia insuitea oy me man sna
love, wno aeea in tt deliberate coquetry.
Thua tramnled unon she Is further crushed
by overhearing a conversation between her
mother and a man who Is thereby revealed
a in woman tover. xne next aay sne
confronts her parent with the revolting
facta, whereat that thrifty old soul adv. sis
her daughter to take to the streets, deliv
ering a lengthy harangue based on the
declaration that no woman In the world la
virtuous, therefore she who makes her Im
morality pay is rather to be admired for It
than blamed. This la too much for Yvette
and Incidentally for the audience but the
worst ia yet 10 come. Tne girl from Kay s
(Httla Williams) enters In the guise of a
parlor maid, and while dusting off the fur
rilture sagely remarks that Mile. Yvette
is pretty enough to plok up many a penny
here and there, with ao many rich young
men aa frequentera of madam's house.
This Is the last straw, and presently Yvette
douse her handkerchief with chloroform
and retire to her room to die. first asylng
extremely obvious "veiled" farewells to
everyone tn the caat. A gay old supper
i'nr is in tuawncuy nxsy progress under
Yvetta's window In the play' laat acne,
when she light the gaa to aee herself die,
and tho toast heromt ao warm that the
translator left a few In French. Thev
nearly drive Yvette to suicide, but she de.
mura. Then the mad Parisian reveler
strike up a coon aong from "The Qrl from
Kay'a" and th maid no longer shrinks
from death. Mother took up at th win
dow and aeea that Yvette haa gone to bed
with the ass on, and, being an economical
body, comes up to put It out. Thereupon
numerous revelers endeavor to beat In the
door, while the lover climbs tn the win.
dow. Juat here Is where the moat drastlo
measures were taken In Marlowlalng th
drama for America. In tho French storv
Yvette, being restored to llf. decided
mother waa right, and accepted, unmarry
Inglv, the good young man. but for our
audiences tt was deemed advisable to make

Gabriel D'Annunslo hag written a play
about hi own people, th Abrusrl, a pas
toral tragedy called "Tho Daughter of
Jorlo." A translation In th Boston Tran
script from L Temp of Pari describes
the play thug; ,
He ha become th inspired Interpreter
of hi race. The cutom. th beliefs, the
prejudices, and the passions which led or
stirred th simple fourteenth century folk
who lived wlthlq the shadow of Majella
or Leonesra these he has tried to express
with perfect sincerity. To give such ex
pression a note of striking verisimilitude,
he haa put Into the mouths'of his dramatlo
persona th familiar words and locution
of that epoch; and these nslve and vigor
ous phrases have a particularly potent
charm for Italian ears, so poetic Is their
rhythm. And this Is what makes the trans
lation of the new drama exceedingly diffi
cult. If not Impossible.
'The Daughter of Jorlo" la a pastoral
tragedy. To be aure. It la more or mysflo
drama, a symbolic legend, than a tragedy
In the modern or the seventeenth century
acceptation of the word. It haa no historic
or hernia personages, reigning over a nation
:r a city and menacing, throurh their own
111 fortune, a whole people. The Abrusil
had no Atrldes. Nor does the play deal
with an IrnrKiriant eveat. .whlsh might In
tuence the nation's destiny. It I the story
can't make known tho profits of the aea-
aon," ald Mr. Conrled, "for it 1 a matter
which doesn't concern the public But
some of the Item of expense may be of
Interest. For Instance, I paid out to tho
leading singers those who are paid by the
performance $000,000. , This does not Include
those who were on weekly aalary. The
stage alterations, scenery and costumes last
fall and winter coat $2(0,000. Only one-fifth
of this waa put down to this season's ex
pendltures, though, for tho benefit of th
expenditure of this sum will last for several
years, Th stag carpenters alone got
142,600 between the opening and the end of
the aeason, Th total expenaea of the or
chestra amounted to $98,980. Of the $280,000
xponded on (tag alteration, building,
scenery and coatumea, $133,000 went to the
tag alone,"
Coming E vests.
Beginning; thia afternoon at the Boyd
theater, tb Ferris stock company will give
is performances of "Th Black Flag," one
of the most thrilling and genuine of the
old-time melo-dramaa. This play 1 not of
th cheap clap-trap typ that maaquerades
a melo-dram In tb present time, but la
a work of real merit, written and produoed
at the time when such plays a "The Two
Orphan," "The Galley Slave" and .others
wer being given to th public and taking
high rank with them. It haa not been pro
duced in Omaha for many leasons, th
modern "thriller" having crowded th bet
ter sort of mclo-dranmtlo plays off th
boards. Ita revival should be a welcome
qliange. Mr. Sullivan will appear as Harry
Olyndon, Mr. Owen aa Jack Olyndon and
Mr, Caldwell as Owen Olyndon, tho father
Of the two. Mr. Raymond will have the
part of Laiarus and Miss Pavey will appear
aa Naomi Bradford, th heroin.
On Thursday night a splendid revival of
'The Banker's Daughter" will be given.
Thia Is a fine old society drama, with the
genuine heart Interest In It. A. M. Palmer's
Union Square company first produced the
piece, over twenty-flv year ago, In New
York, with Effl Ellslcr in tho cast as the
banker's daughter. In tbs present produc
tion Mr, Sullivan will have the role of John
Btrebelow, the big-hearted husband; Mr.
Owen will be Count da Caraaao, the evil
minded and vindictive Frenchman, and
Harry Long will take tb part of Harold
Routledge, the young American, who de
fends his countrywoman's good name, and
dies for her honor. Mlaa Pavey will be
Lillian Weatbrook, the banker' daughter.
This bill will last tha rest of th week.

GREAT ACTORS' PROMPT BOOKS
Nw York Man Stskea a Donation of
Collection to Pnbllo
Library.
(Copyright by New York Herald Cq 1904.)
NEW YORK, May ?8.-(Now York Herald
Servic Special to Th Bee.) Three thou
sand prompt books, many of which are In
the writing of such actors aa Garrlck,
Macready, Forrest and Booth, containing
In themaelves an Intlmato history of th
tngnsn stago or incalculable. Importance,
are given to the New Tork public library by
th will of th late James Becks, a veteran
actor, who died laat week In St. Louis.
It wa tha intention of th testator, who
mad the amaaalng ot the collection a life
work, that th volumes should be placed
where they might be freely consulted by the
dramatic profession. He waa once per
suaded to offer the collection or sale to
Yale university. He wa glad when the
negotiation failed, for he feared that if It
were so plaecd It would not be of much
benefit to a profession to which It should
be of th moat use.'
A nominal value of 110.000 was placed on
It at that tlm; but It la believed that an
examination by experts would rhow that
It Is of far greater value.
But take th subject of the human ro'o.
The general range of any very good singer
Is n matter of two octaves at tho most, out
side of that the good average has been
passed, and Is abnormal,- Now two octave'.
If you will play the space between them
upon the pluno, consist of only about four
teen or fifteen tones. If you can make one
ton well, perfectly. It Is an easy matter
to add another ton to that, and another
to that, and so forth; and they will bo
easily added. If you but have patience. The
trouble Is that ao many. In fact most peo
ple, would far rather sing fifteen tonea "In
different well" than two or three perfectly.
When you have gained a perfect tone.
singer or violinist, or 'cellist, you will soon
add more If your patience Is equal to your
ambition and therein lies the secret.
Now, here is a lesson. When you have
once gained tha one tone, that I speak of,
you have learned to "hear;" you hav
learned to discriminate; you have learned to
separate the bad from the good.
For Ringing, In Its true sense, consists of
the art of hearing, just as painting, In Its
true significance, consists almost entirely ot
the art of seeing that Is, seeing th effects
which "light" produces, rather than what
the pigments themselves do under your
manipulation.
. Now realise, that when once you hav
learned how to produoe that perfect tone
the one alone you have something which
all tho wealth of a multimillionaire cannot
buy. Mr. Carnegie can buy hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of library build
ing' material, but cannot buy that on tone
of yours.
But to return to that conversation with
the young woman who paint china.
After she had made the comment that It
took a' long time to mak a tone properly
(a process, by the way, which largely con
sists in getting rid of wrong Ideas and
Ideals, rather than acquiring new and cor
rect ones) I pointed out to her that she
hsd used her voice, In both speaking and
singing, wrongly for about .twenty years,
and had only spent about six months in
learning to do things In th right way.
Now, just to ohow you how people will
work- earnestly and anxiously for "th
things which are seen, and are temporal,"
as against "tho things which are unseen.
and eternal," this dear girl admitted to m
In the utmost candor of a sweet and honest
soul, that while. she had given tqjier voloa
only half an hour a week, with, her teacher,
she bad given to her china painting three
lesson periods a week, and eeeh period ran
from two to three hours.
And mark you, this young woman of
whom I speak Is a hard working, diligent,
faithful, loyal student of whom any teacher
might well be proud. Bhe was not a faddist
by any means, nor a runner after frills and
fancies to pasa the time. She la serious,
honest and earneat In everything she under
takes, but she mistook the unreal for th
real. .
Do not think that this la a diatribe
against china painting, for I number,
amongst my few and valued friends, sev
eral people who are proficient along that
ln. But I would endeavor to point a
moral.
That plate, which has received much
loving attention from th artist, may be
oarelessly dropped by a three-dollar-a-
week kitchen maid, and a dosen of them
may, after months of loving work, be
smashed up in transit, when coming as
a gift, (most of us have experienced that
ilumlty).
But a good tone, well road and studied
out, with lov and car and patience, can
never be lost, while tho owner is tn nor
mal health.
You may object "so with th plat.
As long a th plates are In normal con
dition they will not bo broken." But th
atatement 1 not parallel. A long a th
artist Is In normal condition aha can
doubtless make plates, but each plat ia
liable to dire calamity, whereas, as long
as the singer Is In normal condition she
can make the beautiful tone and phrases,
and no power on earth can break them,
Juat a no power on earth can buy thera.
They may be "ranted," as It were, at a
good many hundred dollars per hour, but
th plates can be bought for, say, too a
dosen for all time.
All of which comes from thinking along
the lln that the "things which are seen"
are but temporal, while th things which
are unseen are th eternal varieties,

established as an Inn and called "Queen's
Head." Th New York Chamber of Com
mere was organised thera In 1768.
It was a meeting place for the Sons of
Liberty prior to the revolution, and as suoh
became the target for the British ship
Asia In 177S, after tha setxuro by a party of
King's college students, led by Alexander
Hamilton, of a quantity of guns and am
munition from the fort at Bowling Green,
Samuel Frauncea allied himself with tha
patriotic causa, enlisting In Colonel Hal

returning In tlm to prepare a banquet
given by Governor Qeorg Clinton to Gen
eral Washington and a distinguished body
of military officers and cltlsens upon th
triumphal entry of the Americans , on No
vember 25, 1783.

178S, that Washington bade farewell to his
officers. One hundred years later, or De
cember 4, 1883, th Sons of th Revolution
was reorganised In tho famous Long Room
of Fraunces tavern.

Dr. and Madamo Baettens announce a
ffOTGD WOHAK COMING. J
Oaly Woman Klephaat Trainer la tha
World Will Ba Here.
At this time, when tha energy and inde
pendence of woman are assisting her In
overcoming barrier and securing an en
trance Into almost every occupation, hereto
fore held exclusively by men, it Is of Inter
est to note that woman has finally proven
her ability to train tho monster elephant
to do her bidding.
Madame Viola Is the first and only
woman that has had the courage to face
the dangers Incident to the breaking of an
elephant. There have been other women
who have worked with animals, especially
Hon or beasts of the cat tribe, but no other
woman ever attempted to train elephants.
Last winter at th winter quarters of
Wallace's shows Madams Viola spent from
four to si hours per day training Maud,
ons of the smaller elephants of Wallace's
herd. Men accustomed to such dangers
stood aghast and protested that she should
not be allowed to handle elephants, as to
do so meant her certain death. Bhe In
sisted on the ground that she wanted to
prove that a woman could train an ele
phant Sh had her way, and this season
she enters the No. I ring of the Wsllac
show daily with her protege, Maud, proud
of her success.
Herr Becker Is slso In the employ of th
Wallace show. Laat year he made a reoord
In animal training by breaking an elephant
to ride a bicycle In nine weeks, when others
said It would require six months.
The ability of Herr Becker and Viola to
break elephants also demonstrates that ele
phants sre not partial to the English Ian
guag. but that they onn understand Gor
man equally a well. They can scsreely
speak a word of English, and every word
they speak la In German. Even their "cue
words" In the ring lire all In German, and
the beasts mind just ss well as If their
trainers spoke English,
