THE OMAliA ILLUSTRATED - BEE. Mrc1 12, 100S. Talk About Plays and Players o NK of the d li(?hts tvnlrh will b recalled when the season has be rome but a mimory, will be tha visit "f Willie Colllrr and tils estimable wife. Louise Allen Col lier, who Is Just as dedrable as her hus band whin It mme s to tha making of srnulne fun. CoIII't hits so far advance! In his methods that hu la hardly recognis able for th same man who used to come on the stnjre aa If by right, und move Ilk a superior being nmoriK sulwrdlnates. It Is so different now. lie has learned tlio value of his art, and by the adoption of methods that are legitimate and not mere mannerisms has rightfully won a claim to a foremost place among American come dians. Mrs. Collier hus long been recog nised as a woman of superior talent, and she never showed to better advantage than In "The Dictator." The piece Itself, a frank farce. Is not without some slight satirical value, and at Its worst Is well worthy a good position In the ranks of the ephemerae, of which It Is a typo. James K. Hackett suffered somewhat In his visit to Omnha through the Insuffi ciency of bis medium. The authors of "The Fortunes of the King" not only did not choose with more than ordinary taste, btit they exhibit little skill In the ar rangement of the material they did select. 80 many really delightful romances are told of that time that one wonders that one of so little genuine merit could possi bly bs founded on the adventures of Charles Stuart and hla supporters. It Is to bo hoped that when Mr. Hackett again comes he will have a play that Is worthy of his best efforts, and that he will be surrounded by players more generally capa ble. Down at the Orpheum during the week the patrons had the pleasure of seeing another woman who has won a recognised position as a comedienne. Miss Kathryn Ostertnnn. Her llttlo sketch proved one of the most thoroughly enjoyable offered at that house during the season. Miss Os terman has two more weeks In vaude ville, and then expects to resume her In terrupted starring tour. It la her Inten tion to open In Chicago for a spring run and make a tour next season with "Tho Ulrl that Looks Like Me." One of the great teats accomplished by Mr. Palmer was tho running of the famous Jarrctt-I'almer theatrical train from New York to San Francisco, carrying the entire company from coast to coaat without stop ping for a performance. This was one of the nine days wonders at tho time, but it hits since come to be of such common occur rence as to scarcely excite comment outside of railroad and managerial circles, and then Is referred to aa a matter of course. Next week, for example, we will have In Omaha a company much larger than Mr. Palmer's, with a scenic production far greater than he ever undertook, which was Jumped from New York to the coast and la now playing back. Today Frank Pet ley, one of the well known managers, will be in Omaha, looking after some of his In terests and making final arrangements for the movement of a company with Amelia Bingham at its head from New York to San Francisco, to open for a spring tour. Last summer Ethyl Barrymore left Lon don one Saturday, and two weeks from the following Monday opened In San Francisco. -This is merely cited to show some of the advance in the business since the days of the Pa Jarrett-Ialmer special. It Is not the only respect In which improvement has .been made. But Mr. Palmer was as much a part of that advance as he was of the profession at any time. He was a man ager who kept strictly abreast of the move ment, and while his later ventures wore not so profitable, he la recalled as the pro genitor of much that ia good and nothing that is to be condemned in American stage annals. - When apoplexy overtook Albert Marsh man Palmer the curtain was run down on a career that will long be remembered for Its Influence on the affairs of,the American stage. He will . probably be best recalled for hla connection with the Union Square theater, of which he had control for ten years, from 1872 till 1881 During this time he won the fame that has ever since at tached, to him as a producer. Ho always maintained a fine company of players, and those who can recall the A. M. Palmer Union Square company will always do so with delight. This fine organization first came to Omaha about the time the old Union Square theater waa abandoned for tlie Madison Square theater. Effie Ellsler wus the star then and Charles Couldock was the dean of the company. Only the star at that time wus called the "leading lady." "Uanker's Daughter," "Hazel 'Klrke" and "Ksmeralda" were the plays, and how well they are remembered. When Palmer took his Union Square company to Chicago and presented "The Banker's Duughter" for twepty-ono consecutive nights at tho old Haverly theater, at the corner of Dearborn und Monroe streets, the newspapers bragged of it as showing that Chicago had at last achieved its metropoli tan pretensions. A run of only twenty one nights for such a company In Chicago 'now would be considered something of a 'failure. "Tho Two Orphans" waa another of Palmer's great productions In America. It would take too long to tell of all his achievements or to wrlto down the names of the famous people who were members of his companies. No one who ever ap peared under his direction ever denied It. With Auguatln Daly, he ranks as Ameri ca's foremost producer. His last visit to Omaha was as manager for Richard Mans field, four years ago, when he came ahead of tl'e company a week, to rehearse the supers for the production of "Henry V." His care In this was simply a part of his methods as a manager. The best was not too good. Mr. Palmer was born In Connecticut In 1838 nnd was educated for the bar, but never practiced law. (omlnsT Events. A new conilo opera, "The Oirl and the Bandit," which will delight the soul of the lover and the spirit of the tired, will be seen here this afternoon, tonight and Mon day night. It ia interpreted by the Frank L. Parley Opera company, a new organisa tion, brought together by the man whose name It bears. He selected the Doople of the company from l,10t voices, and. In his own words, has the "greatest group of singers now before the American public." The music of the opera was composed by Frederick Colt-Wight and the book and lyrics were written by Mrs. A. C. Tyler, a leading society woman or New York, and J. Cheever Ooodwln. '''he principals In the cast art Viola Gillette, contralto; Alice ' Dovey, soprano; Joseph Mlron, basso; George J. MacFarlane, baritone, and the following comedians: Mabel Hlte, Alice .Hosmer, Walter Jones and Nell McNeil. Henry W. Savage's production In Eng lish of Richard Wagner's sacred music drama, "Parsifal," which oomes to Boyd's theater for two nights and one matinee, Tuesday and Wednesday, March H and 15, and matlnto on Weduesday only, must be regarded as marking the beginning of a new epoch. In tho history of opera In Amer ica. For the first time one of Wagner's treat works is produced on a scale com parable with that which prevails In the best opera houses of the continent, and Is at the same time sung by the leading sing ers of the world In the language of the na tion. In order properly, to produce It in Kngllbh Mr. Savage spared neither pains nor expense: TI10 company principals, chorus and orchestra ia the result of long kearch and sifting, and began (the re ' aeanials in the middle of lust summer. The production Itself Is built or. models se cured abroad, and has been pronounced as a complete fulfillment of the best traditions of Bayreuth. Neither expense nor time has been spared to make this production of "Parsifal" In English one of the most notable from the scenic point of view that has ever been seen on the American Stage. The music-drama gives great opportunities lo the builders of stage effect, and ad vantage has been taken of all the Improve ments that Ingenuity has brought to tho theater. While the wishes of Wagner have been followed with scrupulous care, the great advance which has been made In stage mechanism in the last twenty years will allow effects of which Wagner may have dreamed, but never saw realised. Kleetrlclty for stage use has bften so de veloped since Wagner died that the light effects are enhanced tenfold. Grace Van Studdlford's magnificent voice will be heard In the title role of DeKoven, Klein and Cook's romantic opera, "Red Feather," at Boyd's theater for three nights commencing. Thursday. Lovers of music need no Introduction to Miss Van Studdiford; her undisputed triumph in this most superb operatic production has placed her at the head and front of American singers in the musical world. The company of artists, comedians and singers which has been provided for the support of the star Is an exceptionally competent one and the result Is a constant commingling of melody and humor. Tho chorus is large and com posed of excellent singers.- During the ac tion of the opera Miss Van Studdiford ren ders some glorious numbers In which her powerful and highly cultivated voice Is heard to brilliant effect. One In particular, the dashing brsvanna song, "Tho Merry Cavalier," Is a mustering; of vocalisation. The production as a whole Is acknowledged to be the most magnificent and complete of modern times. The large orchestra will be under the direction of Herman Perlet. At the Krug theater for four nights and two matinees, starting with a matinee to day, comes the latest elaborate scenic and musical gaiety, "Happy Hooligan," with a host of comedians, singers and pretty girls. It tells with unusual rapidity of action a highly amusing Invention and laughable comedy, in whch that bright and frisky polite character, based on Fred Opper's caricatures in the comic papers, seems to have captivated everybody. It Is full of Comic situations and a succession of funny episodes, admirably written, mag nificently presented and gorgeously equipped presented by the most formid able force of funmakers, among whom are George Melville, James J. Collins, James E. Leonard, Crtmmlns and Gore, Mamie Conway, Electric Comedy Four, George W. Kerr and Bert Cannon. The chorus is never overlooked and the scenic effects combine to make the performance notable from a spectacular as well as musical standpoint. This season's tour of Barney Gllmore, the Irish romantic actor and comedian. In his successful comedy drama, "Kidnaped In New York," makes the sixth annual tour of this piece. Mr. Gllmore- has had an en tire new production built, and will carry everything needed for a proper presenta tion of the play. - He has surrounded him self with the best available artists, among whom are Josephine Thill, the young emo tional actress; Grace Buler, singing and dancing soubrette; Will H. Long, jr., Juve nile leader and stage director; the well known Shirley sisters; Dan Reklaw, "king of the bike," Charles Bennington, heavy character actor;' Montgomery and Pearl, the musical comedians; Major Laird, Ger man comedian, and the clever child actress. Baby Marion. The attraction Is booked for the Krug theater for three nights und Saturday matinee, starting Thursday night, March 1. Mme. Slapoffskl, the distinguished English prima donna, will be tha star at the Or pheum for the week beginning with a mat inee today. Just a short time ago Slap offskl closed a three-year engagement In opera In Australia and the Orpheum com pany on rur return made overtures to her for a limited engagtment over their cir cuit, which she accepted. For nine years she wns soprano with the Carl Rosa opera company of London, during which time she added to her repertory sixteen oratorios and forty-two operas, ranging from "Tann hauser" to "The Fortune Teller." In years SlapotTskl 1m still a comparatively young woman among grand opera singers and her voice Is said to be fresh, powerful, sweet and of great range. Winona Shan non and company will present a playet en titled "His Long Lost Child," said to tell an Interesting and pretty story. Jack Ma son's "Society Belles" consists of a com pany of sprightly and pretty maidens who sing and dance. The music is described as catchy and tinkling and the dancrs grace ful, while the girls display several changes of attractive costumes. - Lavender and Tomson, In a little comedy called "A Touch down," will introduce their specialties. Ro flnod Instrumental music will be contrib uted by Newell and Niblo. Saxaphones, xylophones, chime and the violin are among the Instruments they use. The fa mous high wire performer, Apollo; Count De Buts, the cycle expert, and new klno drome pictures complete the- bill. One of the most stupendous of attractions promised for Omaha during the coming season is the spectacular production of "Mother Goose" the great Klaw & Erlanger spectacle, which la billed for the Boyd for a week beginning next Monday night. Matinees will be given on Wednesday, and Saturday. As a spectacle, this la said to be beyond any production ever made In this country. It la a gorgeous display of color and beauty, with a continual shifting of pictures and a constant movement of the situations. It abounds In ballets and figures, and all Is mounted with a lavishness never before undertaken. In addition, many startling and beautiful effects of lighting, are used, and the great aerial ballet Is one of the real novelties of modern stago achievements. The company Is the largest ever sent on the road by the great firm under whose direction it Is given. The opening of the sale of seats will be on Thursday next. Gossip from Stasjeland. Henry Irving will, according to cable ad vices, open his next American tour in September of this year. Sir Charles Wyndham has signed for another American engagement next season, to include a western tour. Blanche Walsh Is slated, according to rumor, for an Australian tour, under the direction of Henry Williamson. The stock company at the Boyd theater this coming summer will be under the direction of Woodward A Burgess. Harry Long will manage the stage as usual and look after the production of the plays. Miss Hattle Carmontelle was the victim of a sneak thief one day recently while playing In Indiana. She lost $160 In cash and Jewels enough to bring the total up to $700. And this is no advertising dodge, either, for Miss Carmontelle doesn't em ploy & press agent. Toby Claude, who gives her legal name, as Harrlotte M. Standing, has filed a peti tion In bankruptcy. She schedules her liabilities at 13.1X2 and her assets at noth ing:. Her debts were contracted d urine 1803 and 1904, and represented monqy ex pended for clothing, medical attendance and the like.

WEDNESDAY Boyd's theater, "Parsifal" matinee 11 a. m. ; also 6:30 p. m. SATURDAY Jose Vianna de Morla, Boyd's theater, piano recital. ill HB outlook for crowded houses at the "Parsifal" performances Is most encouraging. Omaha peo ple seem to be showing; the same vital interest In the music drama that has characterised the larger eastern Chase's lecture at the Congrega tional church ai a success in every way. The church was filled and also the chapel. The talk Itself was full of interest. Mr. Chase has a good voice and a pleasing delivery. He has not seen the opera him self, but chose hie material from the criticisms of recognised authorities, which gave his audience a broad conception and a many-sided picture which will be ef In finite benefit. Miss Paulsen lent able as sistance at the piano, and Mr. Cuecaden played the 3oot Friday music. Mr. Rubin Goldmark also 'hod a large and attentive audience on Saturday morn ing at Boyd's theater. ' Quite naturally, one compares all lecture-recital artists with Walter Damrosch. Mr. Goldmark came through the test very creditably. He has a frank, simple, convincing way of talking which Is very attractive. His playing hardly came up to the Damrosch mark. The music is fearfully difficult. He just skipped, appearing to be absolute master of 11. He struck an occasional wrong note, which seemed to bore him quite a little, and evidently came from dividing his at tention between the score and the lecture. He gave a particularly clear and fine de scription of the character of Kundry, Illus trating the music of the wild borse woman and her fearful laugh. "The Procession of the Knights," with its boll-like Intervals, Mr. Goldmark played splendidly. This particular composition comes as near to being "popular" as any thing Wagner ever wrote. It hue a haunt ing quality not usual with him. "The Flowering Meadow," or the Good Friday spell, reminds one quite forcibly In spots of Siegfried's, love song. In fact, all through the opera there are suggestion of Wagner's earlier work. Familiar strains keep sounding. Mr. Goldmark held the attention of his audience completely till the end of his lecture. Every one went away enthusiastic and filled with gratitude for this fine pre liminary light. -4, : When Mr. Savage started out on his English "Parslfsl" idea he wanted to make up a cast wholly of Americans, but this ambitious plan he waa obliged to give up. He waa frank enough to admit that it was Impossible, so he compromised by getting as many Americans as he eould and stipu lating that the others must be masters of the English language. A triple cast was needed. 'He left for Europe to hunt for material. . In London he engaged Mme. Kirby Lunn, who sings Kundry and Is one of the great ,t dramatic sopranos In the world. For five years she was the principal tnetso soprano at the Royal Opera Covent Garden, London. There also he found Francis Me Clennan, who waa born In Bay Cltyi Mich. He went to London to study with George Hensvhd and later became a member of the Moody-Manners company. Mr. Bio C'leniiaii shares the title role with Alois reniiarini. The latter tenor Mr. Savage "borrowed" i from the opera directors of Hamburg. In Fraukfort-oii-the-Maln he engaged still another America a, Putnam Qrlswold, 'of Minnesota, who had become principal basso In the opera there. In Munich yet another, Miss Florence Wickham; born in Beaver, Pa. From Brlstow came a second Kundry, Mme. Hanna Mara. The role of Amfortas Is sung by Mr. Johannes Blschoff, a young German artist who has been lcudlng baritone at Cologne, and by Mr. Franz Egenleff, who, after a rigorous training under Lllll Lehmann and Victor Maurel, won success last year at the Theater Des Westens, in Berlin. Walter II. Rothwcll, the technical dtr rector and alternate conductor, who has commandod such admiration, was secured at Amsterdam from The Netherlands Royal Opera. The following criticism from the Chicago Tribune Is most Interesting: Mr. Savage has given us in this produc tion of "Parsifal," not the most brilliant operatic production the United States has ever known, but he certainly has given us one of tho most complete and artistic. He has given us a performance In which musical, scenic and sartorial values have each been considered, and each has been aocorded equal care and thought In prepa ration. The combined result Is an en semble superior to anything opera goers in this country have knowd. In the excel lence of tho - choral work alone the "Parsifal" performances stand unequalled. We have had performances' in which the principals have been vocally more highly qualified, and occasionally we have "had performances In which the orchestral ac companiment has been as well propor tioned and as carefully shaded as (t Is In the present Instance, but not before have we been offered such perfection In every detail, such admirable balancing of all the component parts. Mr. Conreid's "Parsi fal" remains yet to be. revealed '.to us, of course, and there Is ne reason for prejudg ing it, but certain it is that It will need be of superior worth to surpass li actual val ues that which Mr. Savage has supplied. Mr. Savage, In these performances of "Parsifal," has set a 'new standard .for opera in the United States, and it dtily remains to be seen whether he will be able to continue as he has begun. But whether he attempts anything similar In the future or not, his 'Varaltal" achieve ment will ever stand to his credit. And it is firmly believed that It will come to be regarded as one of the most significant events in the history of music's progress lit this country and as the first notablo Ktep taken toward the establishing of grand opera in English. For grand opera in English must come, sooner or later. "Parsifal" has proven that the most ex acting and most complicated of all ope ratic works can be sung in the vernacular, and sung so as to be understood. Several ministers in the city have asked the Boyd management if there was a real celebration of the communion during thu performance of "Parsifal." This is rather a difficult question to answer. The cere mon of the uncovering of tha trail (the saored cup with which Joseph of Arlmathaa caught the flowing blood from the side of the crucified Saviour) is symbollo f tha communion. The knights upon every Good Friday gather in the chapel of the Holy Grail and the eup is Uncovered by their king. The sight of the vessel Is supposed to encourage and strengthen them In their good deeds. During the scene the knights, dad in. long, scarlet mantles, are seated at a lr cular table- In the center of the space Is the. shrine Of the grail. It is taken from Its resting place and elevated by the king. To those who feel as if such a ceremony upon the stage might Jar upon their sen sibilities, I will quote a short paragraph from a letter written by Right Rev. Dr. Lewis Brown of St. Paul's church, Indian apolis: Who goes to the scenes ef "Parsifal" with heart aright will come forth strength ensd anew to light agalnat temptation and be true to the noblest dictation of religion. Such an elTurt Is certainly desirable and no prejudice should be permitted to pre tnt ts accomplishment. Different temperament will naturally be affect i'i In different measure. To some the chapel scene will be' more overpowering iri Its beauty and solemnity than to others. To no one can the lesson be anything but uplifting and full of the hopefulness of ultimate triumph over sin and sorrow. The Christ-like spirit that you take with you to "Parsifal," gentle reader, will deter mine your opinion of whether or not It Is sacrellglous. What is most deplorable In connection with the presenting of "Parsifal" away from Bayreuth Is the lack of the reverent, serious spirit. It is impossible to feel as those pilgrims in the little Bavarian town, many of whom have crossed the ocean to witness Wagner's masterpiece. The things we work and pray for are the ones we appreciate in all their glory when at last they come. I am glad to know that such a genius as Walter Damrosch steadily ad heres to his conviction that "Parsifal" ought never to have been taken away from Bayreuth. Therefore, ye who might bfe orltlcal, sep arate - the music-drama utterly from the great American public go to it as you would to a solemn service. - The more up lifted your mood and the farthor your spirit from every-day things, the greater will be your benefit. MARY LEARNED. ' Kotes and Personals. Jose Vianna de Motta, the Portuguese pianist, has reserved March 18 at Boyd's theater for a recital. - A series of musical services will be given at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at All Saints' church through Lent. Henry W. Savage's English Grand Opera company begins an engagement at Boyd's theater on April 20. Four performances will be given. Mr. Chase repeated his lecture on "Parsi fal" Thursday evening, March 9, at the First Congregational church. Miss Paulsen .and Mr. Cuscaden assisting. . The Tuesday Morning Musical club will meet this week at the residence of Mrs. F. P. Klrkendall. Miss Hill has charge of the program, which will be devoted to the works of Sveklng and Dvorak.
