TI1E OMAIIA ILLUSTRATED BEE. November 27. 1!X4. About Plays, Players and Playhouses iMAKA people had ritily a mixJer- atcly vnrlfd lill from wMch to choose their Thank-nlvIng smuw merits, jret what wax nfforfd fulrlv met the reniilreinnts. In- dced. It Is llkrly that the bt pnni: was offered, for If laughter ha the effect it in credited with In the matter of aiding dilu tion, then tle play at the theater were Just what In desired afttr a hearty meal, not to apeak of the glorious gorge that ac companied Thanksgiving day. Comedy at one house, thriller at another and vaude ville at the, third certainly afforded the light and airy triflfx that went to make uj the after-dinner dlvertl.-ement essential to wd slumber after heavy eating. The patronage at each of the three houses In dicntea that the local public fed well, for the business of theaters was good all week. Omaha again hadachanre to enjoy a genuine tretit last week, when Wililnm and Walker returned for a short engnge ment to the HoyU theater. The mnrvell:us succers thla tir of colored comedians has achlvcd In a really short time for It Is only about three years Fines they really tartcd on the upturn Is due enllrfly to merit, and not to a auduVn vogue for en tertainment of the sort thy nlT"rl. Bert 'Williams if a gifted comedian of genuiuJ ability. His characteristics are those of the rural sort, nnd thftdaikey he presentj on the stage Is a figure famllia.- to those who have an ritensive acquaintance with the race. He docs not exagnerate the con fiding, simplicity of the unsciBii-tlcated ne gro nor doe he overdo the occatdonai flsrtie.s of shrewdness that mark his prog ress. His type Is not frequently encoun tered In the north, save In the "river ' towns, but In the south he Is common enough. Joel Chandler Harria has given us glimpM of him In "The Chronicles of Aunt Minerva" and other short sketches; Harry Stllwell Kdwnrds, Martha McCul- loch Williams, Virginia Fraxer Hnyle and other writers havo made us mote or Iras acquainted with him In their stories of southern life, but It has remained for Bert Williams to give him In his natural state on the atagc. It la done with such fidelity aa to challenge the admiration of the most critical, and Is a positive delight to these who really know the American negro. On the other hand, C.eorge Walker presents an excellent example of tlio danger of a little learning. He gives an Illustration of the negro who has tried to Imitate the white man in all things. He has convinced himself that tho glumour and swagger that mark his course la tho real th.ng, while none are ao blind but they can flts tect the pinchbeck Imitation. Th!a claa of negro is dmigerous, for It blinds the thoughtless among the race, and by ap parent success counteracts the Influence of the thinking men who are- earnestly striv ing to lead the American negro into proper paths. Booker Washington's ad vice, that the negro learn to respect him self, and to conduct himawlf with the d.g nity that comports with good behavior, and allow the world to wag as It will, Is de stroyed by the example of such darkles aa Walker presents. Whether It Is inten tional or not, the contrast of the two types presented by these comedians is well worthy, of study, for In it Ilea much of the real Interest in the race questlou. Mme. Rejane's opening week in New York was a tremendous success in every way, even to the reopening of the dlscusaion as to (he diverse views of marriage enter tained by the French and the Anglo-Saxon ran.. "La Amoureuse," In which she llrst appeared during her present engagement, deals. with the affair of a man who married because he thought It respectable; main tained a 'mistress, who happened to be a courtesan, flung his wife, who really loved him. to his friend, who loved her, and after he had done all this discovered that he did love his wife, and a reunion fol lowed. It Is not at all difficult to believe that such an arrangement would set even. 'New York tongues .to wagging. We all re member,' though; how the French resented the retort made- by Mark Twain to the sneer from M. Bourget. The Frenchman patrontslngly said that an American fre quently had difficulty In knowing who his grandfather was, and Twain replied that in France the man often was at a loss to know wh. was his father. The debate Is not running high, but Is sufficiently deep to . Interest some of the writers. Mr. Cor bin of ths Times after discussing to some extent the matter of marriages of convenience, goes on In this strain: Let us by all means have our conven tional shiver at tne modern French reper tory of comedy. All wholesome people are at heart conventional. Hut wholesome peo- rle also think lovllishly think, at times, t is th shallowest of cynicisms that the cure for love Is matrimony. With reul people and only real people count in the theme of a play love la a malady that burns continuously, or breaks out In spots, until It Is cut short by the master mainly of doath. Many decades ago Washington Irving pointed out that novels end where the real life of hero and heroine beg'n and his saying cannot be ruled out of court, even on the plea that he was a lifelong bachelor. The only self Untiled diseass of the heart. In fact, Is the kinl of love we call romantic. The reason why Shake spuare killed off Romeo and Juliet, accord ing to frof. Barret Wendell. Is that to make them live on would have been to brliia upon them the vaster and deeper tragic note of snoring. Even lhat bold, bad cynlclat, you see. did not dare enter tain 'the thought tiiat the light wings of love with which Romeo o'erleaped the wall between Rosallnq and Juliet might have carried him on Mill further flights. Romeo died, but Shakespeare lived and thought. The critical censors of the press who cry aloud against the plays In Mme. Rejane's repertory forget that the greatest and aoundest of dramatists wrote "Measure for Measure" and "Antnony and Cleo patra." i The question Is not of suhject. but of treatment. In a community accustomed to think about the drama, even to think not devilishly hut angelically, the distinction here would be self-evident. Insofar ss what Is called morality Is In harmony with the scheme of the universe, fact Is always moral nnd If mornlltv Is not so, all the worse for morality The trouble with us mortem Anglo-Saxons Is that we refuse to he Inlererfteil In fart .until It I sentimen talised whereupon It censes to he fact and Instantly becomes Immoral.

The milieu of "La Paeserelle" Is one of levity and Impropriety, but It Is quite true-all too true, perhaps to certain obvious) phases of F'anaian life. and. moreover, dellclously funny. 'Amoureuse,-' for all Its surface brilliancy, has a serious theme, and treat It seriously. We may agree with the younar Dumas who treated a precisely similar theme In "Franclllon." and com mented on It In one of his brilliant pref aces that for vhe purposes of pure com ly It is fatal 10 r present the wife ac tually surrendering her virtue to be re venged on a husband whom she love. . Henrietta Crosraan Is coming west next spring and It Is potltlvely settled that she will appear In Omaha. There may havs been obstacles In the way of Miss Cros- man' appearance here In the past, but ly I now announced that the have been overcome. Just how thla has been brought about Is not set forth, but Maurice Camp bell. Miss Crosman manager, announces the fact positively. Omaha has long desired to see this same Henrietta Crosman. who l remembered here as the atar In Bron tn Howard's comedy, "One of Our Qlrls," some six years ago, and which was Mis Croeman's first season aa a star. flnco that time Miss Crosman has gained a world wide reputation; her position In the drama Is assured, and she Is looked upon as our greatest comedienne and the successor of Kllen Terry. It is some lour years a since Mis Crosman compelled New York recognition and now sbe has the metropolis at her feet. Every city cast of the Mis sissippi has acclaimed Miss Crosman's greatness, and It is only owing to circum stances that she has not app-Miv3 here before. Now. however, the toart.'s clear and she Is coming. It will De remembered that Miss Crosman first ttar:ted the coun try with her production if hr now famous "Mistress Nell." She appeared tmknewn In this play one night In New York, and the next morning woke up to find herself fa mous. Her success I a matter of theatrical history now. and Is unparalleled. With "Mistress Nell" Miss Crosman toured the country after a season In New York; never, however, coming this far west. Then Oame another season In New York, .and thla time as Rosalind In "As You Like It." Her suc cess as Rosalind was great, and she is now considered our greatest Rosalind, and the part has only been played by her of late years. Miss Crosman's remarkable New York season In "As You Like It" some three years ago opened the eyes of our managers to the fact that Shakespeare, properly presented, is profitable, and she Is responsible for the many Shakespearean revivals lately. The next season came her production of "The Sword of the King," and another success Just as marked; then last year came an alliance between David . Belasco and Maurice Campbell for Mis Crosman's appearance at the Belnsco thc- Music and Musical Notes LDEN TEXT-"Lord. what mualo hast Thou provided for Thy saints In heaven, when Thou affordest bad men such music on earth." Isaak Walton. G We have much, Indeed, to be thankful for. Such is the thought which fl Is every portion of my appreciative faculties as I contemplate the past and the present and the future. And, in the words of the good old German chorale. "Nun Danket alle Qott," which, Mr. Stead says, comes sec ond only to Luther's famous "Eln festa Burg," one U constrained to lift heart nnd voice with thanksgiving: ' Now thank we all our God, With hearts and hand and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom His world rejoices: Who from our mothers arm Hath bleated us on our way With counties giits of lovu, And. still Is ours today. O, may thla bounteous God Through all our life bo near us, With ever Joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer lift: And keep us In His grace, And guide us when peiplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. In connection with th- i anions eld hymn by Rlnkart, written in :.ti. Mr. William T. Stead tays in his book, "Hymns that I.'ava Helped." a book which should be In every tlin .luster's and minister's library; It has !ten used sine 1618 as the German Te Deum at all national festivals of war and of peace. It was sung by the army of Frederick the Great after the Prussians had won the battle of Lejthen, and It was constantly sung In the last Frano'i-Prti-slan war. It was also sung at the cere mony that marked the completion of Cnlogue cathedral and at the living of the foundation stone of the new Ra'.chxtag. Mendelssohn Introduces "Nun Danket" Into his "Hymn of Pralie" or Lobg-jsang." What have we to be thankful for? We should be thankful that wc have a field to work In, and a 1e!d in mmy waya congenial. There, is a feeling of good fel lowship and generosity In the profession among those who are Its mlnlatora. There are many students of music In Omaha, who are really nnd truly striving to get close to the heart of the great, art. Bo they vocalists or Instrumentalists, there are many, many young people, and some older ones, who are diligently searching after truth In the realm of music. There are good church choirs In Omaha and churches which support very materially the cause of good music. There are organisations, both choral and Instrumental, working assiduously for the results that remain, and the fruit which Is permanent. There are leaders in the society domain who find time to seriously develop along musical lines, nnd' who worship the art In spirit and In truth. There are many suppci lers of the art who contribute of their earthly substsneo and of their strong sympathy toward lis maintenance. There ure concerts promised this season which are sure to do good, and the atmos phere Is permeated with music as It has never been before In the tnen.ory of the present writer. With a deep sense of gratitude tu the Giver of every good and perfect gift, the source of all harmony, and the inrplrtr of our greatest musk-luna, In times past as well as today, we take our cup of Is the joy ol tha household, tot wfthoin it no happiness can be complete.

With this he has swept everything before her. Two seasons' run In New York In the same play Is her record In this and always to capacity house. In the matter of re ceipts she probably holds the recoid of any English speaking atar, for on one occasion In the great Academy of Music In Philadelphia she had ln the house $1. 075. Such Is the wonderful record of suc cess of Henrietta Crosman. who Is com ing to one of our local theaters next spring. Just what play Miss Crosman will appear in ha not yet been decided upon, but it will probably be her "Mistress Nell" which, notwithstanding her other great succe.vs. stands supreme, and as It has not been seen here It will no doubt receive a most generous welcome. t'omlaa- Events. No form of musical entertainment meets with such popular acclaim as musical corned)-, with Its Intermingling song, Jest and story. It Is with this object In view that prompts Cam 8. Schubert to send on tour such musical successes as "The Royal Chef," which comes to the Boyd theater for four performances, beginning with a matinee this afternoon, after having run for twenty-three weeks In Chicago, with thr, same big cast and the same bevy of pretty girls. The costumes and scenic ln vestures are of a most elaborate character, und should obtain the same good opinion earned when seen In New . York and Chi cago. The company, upon whom devolves the privilege of presenting the tuneful lyr ics of Stoddard and Taylor and the music of Ben M. Jerome, Is composed of the best known people In tho musical comedy line In America today. This Is the original com pany nnd the only one presenting "The Royal Chef." The ensemble work and the grouping show team work that reflects great credit on Frank Smlthson, the well knuwn stage director and producer. It Is the aim of Sam S. Schubert, who Is man aging this attraction, to retain his chorus intact and utilise them In future produc tions that he will make. The strange part of the affair 1 that this play marks their first appearance on the stage. Another thing Is that they are all western girl and in their work show that earnest endeavor to be better than any one else In their line which is characteristic of the west. "The Two Orphans" wilt be presented at Boyd' theater December 2 and 3, with one of the greatest casts ever presented In any one production, It 1 composed of actors and actresses who are, or who have been, stars. Prominent among them are Louis James, James O'Neill, J. E. Dodson, James Lee Finney and William Beach; Clara Mor ris, Mrs. Le Moyne, Grace Oeorge, Ellta Troctor Otis, Sarah Truax and BIJou Fer nandez. The piece is one of the most pow- thanksgiving and rejoice today, not that , we have harvested our grain or filled our barns with stock, though that Is well enough, but we rejoice that we are alive, and that we have health, and. that we are permitted to minister to the world, In some degree, of the good things which music affords, and that we are workers In a great ministry, and disciples of a great truth. What a privilege It is to be a musician! Musicians are said to be a warring tribe; they are supposed to be persecuting each other and to be unable to accord recogni tion to each other's good points. But let us ruminate. When you see a musician busy and prosperous, you will Invariably And him satisfied that others are prospering, too. If he Is successful, you will find that he does not object to the ' fact that others are prosperous also. . Is this so In business? Is It not a fre quent occurrence that when a business man gets prosperous he wants to get ah the opposition out of the wayT - Think over it. - I do not believe that the musician is so constituted. We hear of business men forming them selves Into trusts to crowd out the "lltttlo fellows." 1 read somewhere recently a story of how a man who had built up a good buxiness was approached by another man wha represented a larger concern and wanted to buy the first man out, as he was "In the way" of the big concern, which had determined to crush all opposi tion. He refused, and the result was that the big concern began to cut prices In such a way that ultimate ruin stared the first man In ( the face, and at last a morning paper contained a sad account of the "suicide of a formerly prosperous young business man." This is business. One of the proverbs which should be eli minated from the literature of a civilized nation, and one that has caused untold Buffering to Innocent people, Is that damnable heresy, "Business is business." We do not find that in the musical pro fession. When a musician is at the top of his pro fession he is usually helnlna the other fellow who has been less fortunate. He is j not inclined to ireexe the lesser out in order that he himself may have more than he requires. You do not hear of a musical corporation driving all the others out of the business. Imagine the Thomas orchestra driving the theater orchestras out of existence. As a business motto the altruistic state ment, "Live and let live," beats "Business Is business" all to pieces, and Is better business In the end. To a very large degree each man Is "his brother's keeper." Let ua who are musicians be thankful. Yea, the subject grows upon one. Wt see dry goods merchants selling books, booksellers doing printing and engraving, grocers selling meat, butchers selling gro ceries, both of them selling vegetables, churches running restaurants, silk mer chants selling china (aa well aa china silk), china merchants selling cutlery, hardware tores selling woodenware, haberdashers selling clothes, clothiers selling haberdash ery, department stores selling everything, and politicians selling the people. Each doth truffle In what does not belong to his craft. And the trading stamp? The musicians are different. Let us be thankful. It will now be In order for some local musical celebrity to compose an aria, a symphony or a cantata In honor of the re paving of Sixteenth street. It should coaUt of gentle variations between the keys of C-sharp (alluding to the former dangers of driving), and 8-natural (alluding to the present normal condition of that much abused thoroughfare). A "Thanksgiving Ode on the Repaying of Sixteenth Street" might go down into history. An ode to the "opening" of North Twentieth street would also be appropriate. This is now the Via Sacra, or Holey street. But the street it self la there. Let us be thankful. THOMAS J. KELLY. sfosleal Kates.

The undergTaduatesof Crelghton univer sity will present "The Critic" at Cniverslty hall on December . It Is customary at the university for the students to give a play each year and, although some of the pro ductions cf Tormer years have set A high mark for amateur theatricals. It Is the In tention of the director and those taking part to make this year's play eclipse any of former years. There is considerable his trionic talent among the students at Creigh ton this year and "The Critic," one of the brightest comedies ever written, affords an opportunity for much clever acting. The costuming and scenery will be managed by experts and the production on the whole will be of a character to Interest not only the friends of the university but all lovers of theatricals. A, the Krug theater, for four nights and two matinees, starting with a matinee to day, "In Old Kentucky'" will be the bill. It Is a play that one need not be afraid to bring his wife, sister or sweetheart to see, as :t Is wholesome and refined and appeals to the better nature of the play goer. The various episodes of the play are too well known to the average theater patron to require extended notice at this late date. There la the stirring swing across the chasm In tho first act, when the heroine saves her lover by reaching his side In time to snatch a dynamite bomb and hurl It Into the abyss before the explosion; there is a realistic flre scene, where the villain at tempts to burn up "Queen Bess," the thor oughbred mare that Is to run In the big race; there Is the enjoyable barn yard scene, In which numerous little pickaninnies disport themselves and sing and dance; there I the thrilling race scene. In which the heroine, dressed as a Jockey, rides "Queen Bess" to victory and saves the for tune of her sweetheart. These are only a few of the many episodes that crowd this remarkable drama of southern life. Patrice and her company In "Driven from Home" Is the bill at the Krug theater for three nights and Saturday matinee, starting Thursday night. December 1: The scenes of the play are laid In the country along the Hudson river and In New York City. The opening scene the Maynard homestead la said to be one of the most realistic farm yard scenes ever produced on any stage. The house, barns and farm ing Implements appear to be almost the usual slxe, and with chickens and cattle moving around, one seems to forget that It Is only a stage picture. The second act shows both the exterior and interior of a country Inn, and Its dimension take up the entire space of the stage.
