THE OMAHA ILIXSTIUTKD HKP. March 2fl. 1P. About Plays, Players and Playhouses . YfAWA nnnT liav. nn nrr.s slon to f 1 complain thnt the thratrrs ofTor I nothing: to allim tli'Tri from their homes. The only objection that ran really he lalrl Is against the variety, or, rather, the, lauk of variety. Tht we.it has been overrun with mulrl comedy ompanlps of all sorts dur ing the jiresf-nt sasnn. and Hmha has had Its full share of them. The few com panies that have come along olTerinn a respite from this sort of entertainment have. liar a full share of patronage, even If some of them didn't come tip to the mark. The day Is not far ahead when we will Ret a chanc to attend the theaters and listen to something; rise. Jinnies are all right up to certain point, but they herome monot onous by repetition and Iteration. The visit of "Mother Goose" nffnrded a brief renplte from this sort of thing at the Hoyd, for It la frankly what It K and affords an venlng of distraction for both eye and ear without undertaking to do mote. The Krtig had a clever show for the first half of the meek, but went hack to the "thriller" for the closing day. At the vaudeville house a fairly good hill was accorded lib eral patronage By the way, the patronage at all the houses last week was well up to reenrd figures. The season Is Juet be ginning to take on a really profitable tinge for the munagera, and the promise of a busy spring campaign wen never better. Coming; Kventa. The "Bilver Slipper." which rimes to the Boyd for a matinee and evening perform ance today, has for Its chief comedian Snlti Edwards. Local theater-goera remember him best of all, perhaps. In "A Iiangernus Maid" and one of the stars of the Wcher A Fields organization. Ifnny Bismarck Henchs, showman, enrd-shnrp nnd nil around fakir, Is the chnractcr which Mr. Edwards assumes In "The Sliver Slipper," and for grotesqueness of situation, gesture and characterisation It seems unparalleled. Much of the Success of "The Silver Slipper" la due to the extremely lavish expenditure on stage-settings, costumes and music, but the cast after all Is responsible as much as anything else for Its popularity. Shakespeare's Immortal tragedy "Mac beth" Is full of thrill and continuous Inter est. Its characters are Rtrennous and force ful, Its climaxes fairly set Intelligent audi ence wild with enthusiasm and It Is a daxzllnf tale of enchantment In six acts by the great master of dramatic literature, treating of a subject that borders on the. occult and Is replete with siicgpstlon of the supernatural. John Griffith Is the star pre sented by tho management and will be sup ported by a company of artists who have made a study of Shakespeare. John Grif fith in "Macbeth" will be here on Monday night only at the Boyd theater. It Is said that theapccialtles offered by tho Al O. Field Greater Minstrels this sea on have been culled from the best In vaudeville. One of the features of the olio la the comedy acrobatic Juggling act by Cornulla. and Eddie. These gentlemen were horn and bred In an acrobatic atmosphere, for "Eddie" Fritz Is the son of Edwin Fritz, tho popular clown, so many 'years Identified with Itlngling and Barnum & Bailey circuses, and "C'ornalla" cornea from the Cornalla family, famous for their acro batic work. The clown of "Eddie" is fa mous and has act many an audience In an Uproar. Ills work is done in pantomime, and to see him is to laugh. The act origi nated' by those gentlemen Is said to be unique and is described as moving with snap. Eddie breaks as many plates in the course of the act us a mud bull In a china (hop. jJJs makeup In consistent with the character and the act is environed by an elaborate setting. It runs over at the aide with surprises; In fact. Its strength Is said to be In the unexpected novelties that are Introduced. The Juggling by Cornaila is clever and well worked out aa an accompa niment to the antics of the other perform er's clown. On the whole, it Is pointed to aa the best comedy juggling net that has ever lx;en offered. The minstrels will be at the Boyd Friday and Suturday, with a ' matinee on Saturday, April 1. . The following suggestions, are offered to the patrons of grand opera at the Audito rium this week, with tho idea thut con formity to them may accelerate the hand ling of the vast audience expected. Ticket holders should arrange, If possible, to leave their residences not luter than 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, the iSth, lor the Auditorium, or their business offices not later than 4:30, remembering that over s.000 peoplo will have to be seated by the ushers before 5 o'clock, at which time the curtain will promptly rise. After the first act, which will end at (1:45 p. m., there will be an Intermission of two hours, until its p. m. All who attend tho perform ance are earnestly requested to be in their places soma minutes before the beginning of each act, as once the conductor Is at his desk no one will be seated. On Thursday (light the curtain will rise at t o'clock, after which no one will be seated until the second act. Carriages will arrive at tho west muin entrance from the south. On departing carriages will again arrive from tho south. Two doors will be provided with carriage awnings. Numbers will be issued. Holders of balcony tickets, sec tions A to G. will enter at the first door on Fifteenth street (door farthest north). Holders of balcony tickets, 11 to O, will en ter at the sixth door on Fifteenth street (door farthest south). Everyone will kindly hold his or her own ticket for presentation at tho door. A large force of ushers wearing badges designating the Section they have in charge will be In at tendance. Arrangements for dimmer at the neighboring hotels, clubs or restaurants should be made at once and tables re served, because their capacity will be taxed. Booms for checking wraps and parcels for tha accommodation of visitors from out of town, aa well as retiring rooms, will bo found on tho main floor. A special detail of police, consisting of two sergeants and twelve patrolmen, will be present, as well aa a detail from the fire department on the stage. After "Parsifal" comes tho ever popular Innes and his band, assisted by the Omaha Festival Chorus snd the celebrated solo ists traveling with limes. People who can not afford to pay $5 a seat for grand opera will have their Inning when Innes arrives. He has with him this ear the strongest organization he has er taken on the road. The hand will consist of fifty high-grade musicians snd ten snlnlst. in cluding Mrs. Tartrldge, Mr. Kryl, Mr. Htittinann snd others of equal rank. The programs of this festival will cover a wide range of music, both classical and popular. Mr. Innes will reproduce his fa mous "War and peace" program now (ailed "Americana." He will give an evening of "Parsifal, " rendering all of the best portions of this great musical drams, assisted by the chorus. He will give a Wagner program, a symphony program and a concert dance program, also sacred mush' on April 9. both afternoon and even ing. The prices will he within the reach of everybody, reserved seats ranging from 3-1 to 75 cents and general admission 25 cents. Book tickets go on sale tomorrow at the Auditorium snd mux- be ordered by telephone. Ten tickets, good for reserved seats In the 60-cent section without ex tra charge, may be had for $4. or ten tik ets good for reserved seats in the 35-cent section, either upstairs or down, may be purchased for 13. At the Orpheum litis afternoon snd for the week, I.ydln. Tesmans-Tltus will make her first vaudeville appearance In this city, presenting with the assistance of her husband a little muslesl potpouT-; en titled, "Miss Understood," in which the humor is said to be bright and the whole marked with refinement. Jack Norworth now call himself "The Life of Every Party," which is appropriate enough in deed, for there Is not the slightest doubt but what the talented monologue come dian Injects live and up-to-date stories and songs In his own especially successful way Into any entertainment In which h takes part. A comedy skit called "The Clerk and the Bellboy" will serve as a vehicle for Hayes and Ilealy to provide an Install ment of liHtlerous fun-mktng. A pretty face attractive figure and altogether pleas ing personality adds much to the singing of that popular comedienne. lionise Dresser, who Is a sister of Paul Dre.'eer. the com poser. A po'ltive novelty Is assured In Drako's iheep and dog set, these being the first performing sheep presented on any stage. Athletics out of the ordinary sre promised by "The Great Fowlers." Cole and Johnson, the very successful col ored entertainers, are especially features in their songs, instrumental music rnd comedy. They have earned reputations as composers of "The Maiden with Those I'resmy Eyes." "The Bamboo Tree" snd other popular sone. An entirely new anil timely scries of motion pictures will be projected bv the kinodrome. At the Krug theater, for two nights and matinee, starting ,wlth a matinee today, will be seen Joseph Murphy as lau O'Hara In the play of "Kerry UoW." As sn setor Mr. Murphy is fairly entitled to the posi tion he hold. "The Kerry Oow" is full of good speeches. It fairly bubbles over with Irish wit and humor. Its situations are o novel that they never grow old, and the story Itself Is aa clean and sparkling ai the mountain brook. As a play, It Is per petually youthful. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee Mr. Murphy's portrayol of Larry Donovan In "Shaun Bhue" will be the bill. The play is a vivid story of Irish land troubles. The story Is exciting throughout and deals with Intrigue on the part of land agents against the tenants While tl.e situations are pathetic and somewhat sensational, yet they are consistent, and true Irish loyulty abounds in every act. At the Krug theate'r, for three nights and Saturday matinee. starting Thursday night, March 30, one of the latest and best rural comedy successes will be seen, "The Hooslcr Girl." with Miss Kate Watson us the star. At no time In her professions! career has Miss Watson ever presented a Music and Musical Notes Music Calendar for the Week, Tl'ESDAY Tuesday Morning Musical club. 10:30 a. m.. residence Mrs. Cudahy.

On Wednesdny night Mr. Con reld's production of "Parsifal" take place. Of great interest from an epoch-making stand is Mr. C'onreld's presentation This season a new idol has .will also point of "LucIh.' arisrn, tho greatest tenor this country has heard since Campaulni, Alvary and Jean de Rezke In turn set opera-goers Into hysteria. His name Is Enrico Caruso. "Lucia" of late years has become a back ground for great prima donnas, who carved their names on the page of fume by their singing of the "Mmd Scene." Caruso has brought "Lucia" back to the realm of a tenor opera with Its accompanying atmos phere of tenor worship. He has restored the fourth act. In which comes the beautiful "Lament of Kdgardo." In the days of Du prez, the first Edgardo, for whom the opera was written, this particular part was the one eagerly waited for. Caruso must have tremendous merit to establish his precedence over such a great nrttst and prime favorite as Madame 8em brlch. Miss Fremstad seems to have particularly won the hearts of Cincinnati people. Of her Kundry the Commercial Tribune says: "The seductive wiles of Kundry were so convinc ingly employed by MIfs Fremstad that one must regard her not only as one of the greatest dramatic singers of the day, but as one of the most convincing actresses of our stage." Omaha is still looking for a seductive Kundry. "Parsifal" drew a $16,000 house in Chicago last Tuesday night. The concert of the Musical Art society given at Council Bluffs, under the direc tion of Mr. Simms was a success from every point of view. First of all, ar tistically, for the members of the chorus did very excellent work; their attacks wera precise, their rhythms well austslned and, their interpretation most musical. Mr. Wilczek added the luster of Ills genius to the program. Ail too seldom have people had the chance to measure his ability. The Council Bluffs audience showered him with enthusiasm and appre ciation. Mr. Mclntyre acquitted himself with great credit, also Mr. Bndollet. The audience filled the high school audi torium iand there were many people who stood u?. The last meeting of the Tuesday Morn ing Muskal club at Mrs. Crofoot'a resi dence was a red letter occasion. The pro gram surpassed In artistic excellence any which has ever been given. Mr. Wilczek and Mr. Nordin, from the Boyd theater,, played the Brahm's "Crndle Song" with exquisite appreciation of its delicate poetic qualities. The Allegro, from Brahm's French "Horn Trio," was a complete contrast, tremendously difficult, and working up to the sort of climax that Is inspiring. Mrs. Crofoot did some splendid work at the piano. She is an untiring student and grows steadily from year to year. Mr. Wllcsek's solo number was the Adagio from Max Bruch'a first violin con certo. There are very few violinists In the country who are finer than Mr. Wilczek. He seems to have tho magic combination soul snd technique. His tone Is exquisite. The Adagio gave him a fine chance for an Interpretation, full of sentiment and tonal beauty, of which he availed himself to the utmost. The mem bers of the club who took part In the pro gram were spurred to do their best. Al together it was a memorirble morning in the history of the organisation. When F. M. Stelnhuuser came upon the stage at Washington hall lust Sunday night at his benefit concert, he presented And many other painful and serious ailments from which most mothers suffer, can be avoided by the use of , Mothirs mil. 1 his great remedy is a God-send to women, carrying them through their most critical nrrlMl virh safetv and no cain. No woman who uses '"Mother's Friend" need fear the suffering and danger incident to birth; for it robs the ordeal of its horror and insures safety to life of mother and child, and leaves her in a condition more favorable to speedy recovery. The child is also healthy, strong ana EMM also neauny. strong ana m good naturea. Our book I " I "Motherhood," is worth hi ill riryVit in errAA in sverv U IJ U woman, and will be sent free in plain envelope by addressing application to Dradfield Regulator Co. Atlanta, Ga. mm a picturesque and familiar figure, whom those Interested In band music in Omaha have seen for some twenty-five years. He is one of the old guard, and with his tall, slightly stooping figure, his striking head and his breast covered with medals, ho looks like a quaint character from the land of fiction. Me leads his orchestra with his bow, his violin held in the other hand. When the music becomes particu larly alluring he plays a few bars him self. A fresh American carnation In his button hole, alone suggested his adopted country. In the orchestra were seen many familiar faces. Mr. Cuscaden occupied the position of concert melstor. Mr. Lotz sat beside him. Over to the left was Mr. Peterson of the Boyd Willi his flute. Mr. Kcefer was at the piano, and so on through the list of prominent musicians, who had all volunteered their services. The orchestra of forty played all the good oldttmers; the overtures from "Marl tana" Hnd "William Tell;" grand selection from "Faust." One number. "Curassler Attaque," they were obliged to repeat. Tho last orchcstrul number, "Hurrah, Hurrah! for Our Army nnd Navy," composed by Mr. Stelnhauser, and dangerously near as good aa arjy match Sousa ever wrote, stirred the house to large enthusiasm, and. by tho way, enthusiasm with the Germans Is the real thing with a thrill In it. They are born musical. How they do warm up! Mr. Wilczek played the Sarasate "Gypsy Airs" with the feeling and finish of a master. Such exquisite tone color! Such sure execution! Such ease! You could have heard a pin drop, and the deafening applause when he finished was such as Is seldom heard In our city. Why wesen't more music lovers present to hear Mr. Wllcsek? The hall was Jammed full, but' not of the people who make the most fuss about their musical culture. One or two other times I recall hearing some stunning music when tho audience was almost entirely strange to me. Per haps not many peoplo know that Kubollk, when he gave his recital here, played In the afternoon at the Bohemian Turner hall on South Thirteenth street. There was an atmosphere of affection and appreciation as he performed for his countrymen, which made the occasion unique. The other event was when Mme. Matuta, the great dramatic prima donna of tho opera house at Prague, sang at Bohemian hall. She was taking her vacation in this country, traveling, not expecting to sing anywhere, but was invited by tho Bo hemians of this city to be their guest. She accepted their hospitality and in return sang for them. She was one of the most beautiful women I ever saw, with a wealth of soft, dark hair. On that evening she was gowned In a heavy pale yellow bro cade, inwrought with threads of gold. From her corsage hung a Jeweled order, pre sented to her by Queen Drsga, the mur dered sovereign of Boumania. She sang several songs of Dvorak, which showed her great dramatic ability, and then, at the end, five or six old Bohemian folk songs. The people simply went wild. They couldn't get enough. Afterward I met her, and sho was gractousness itself. When the floor was cleared for dancing, and the women were sitting against the wall, she walked the whole length of the room, shaking hands with each one and smiling. It was a beautiful sight. 4 What is It that the Germans have which we so lack? Is It a more Impressionable tem perament? Perhaps It is atmosphere, that elusive quality which certainly we Ameri cans do not create. Our music la con scious and acquired; the German's music is unconscious; It is as necessary as air or food. In the course of evolution we may arrive at that point. To return. Prof. Charles Petersen's men's chorus did some attractive unac companied work. Mr. Wngncr-Tliomas sang Ardltl's "Pails." Her singing Is very uneven. Tho best phrases that she does are good. The whole effect of a song Is to make one sorry that she has not kept all through to the standard that sho seta In a few parts. The following attractive program was given by the musicsl department of the Woman's club lost Friday morning: ' Plr.no: (a) Geh.imnlif Grieg tb) Schtrso (Hunting Bong) Aiendelssobn-Ischetlssky Mrs. Waiter Purcel Olds.

The chsracterlxa tions In "The lloosler Girl" offer Miss Wat son an opportunity to demonstrate her gteat versatility, and rluht royally does she avail herself of it. Sosae actor Stories. Kathryn Osterman has become an editor. For the last six months the actress, who is) nt present an Important factor In vaude ville snd will next season resume her star ring tour In a new comedy. "The Girl that Looks Like Me." has devoted her leisure hours to the compilation of a book, en titled "The Country Press." Those who have had a glimpse of the advance proof sheets pronounce the contents the funniest and richest reeding they have ever seen In print. It comprises a collection of short stories and happenings culled from the country papers. Miss Ostermnn Is a firm believer In the maxim, "Llve laugh and be hnppy." and for that reason she 'Wants to make her maiden effort one that will bring Jov to Its readers. "The Country Tress' will be Illustrated by Joe Miller of Phll sdelphls. who. by the wsy. Is not related to the Miller of Joke book fame. Julian Mlichell wns for years stage man ager fcr Charles Hoyt. snd. with Tim Murphy. Otis Harlan and Harry Conor, shores the honor of frequently reviving the Hoyt stories. Mr. Mitchell s newest con tribution concerns the actor to whom Hoyt on one occasion observed: "By the way. there Is a part open In 'The Brass Money;' do you think you could play It?" ar.d Hoyt named the character. "Certainly. Mr. Hoyt," said the actor. "That part Is Just In my line." "Well," said Mr. Hoyt, 'Til give you a chance at It. The company Is up In New York stste. You Join It snd I II come up to Kim lr a and see how well you play It." The day came r.d Hoyt was on hand to see the performance. The actor was very bad, and after the play was over Hoyt went bark on the stage to see him. "Well. Mr. Hoyt. how did you like me?" "Rotten." was the characteristic answer. "To toll you the truth, Mr. Hoyt. the part is not Just In my line," said the abashed player. "No." returned Hoyt. "Your line Is the Erie." There never Is any doubt of William Win ter's attitude when an Tbsen drama is an nounced for production In New York. When Maurice Campbell produced "When We Dead Awake" last week Mr. Winter ob served: "A theatrical company organised by Mau rice Campbell who might be better em ployedwill obtrude upon the public notice thia afternoon at the Knickerbocker thea ter Mr. Ibsen's erotic, morbid and absurd play, entitled 'When We Dead Awake." This lean wltted. hectic, flatulent, mystical rubhish Is in print, and. with patience and determination of purpose. It can be read. There l no good reason why It should be acted." ' "r. Winter also dislikes the drama made from the novel snd resents putting; the famous poets Into plays. For Instance: "A play called 'Nancy Stair' has been underlined for production at the Criterion theater on March 14, in which one of the characters Is Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland. Mary Mannerlng will act In this piece as the heroine, Nancy, while the poet Burns wilt be assumed by T. D. Frawley. This has all the Appear ance of a sacrilege. The public, however or aome part of It has tolerated little James Young as Lord Byron, and little Mr. Mack as Tom Moore: and perhaps It will endure little Mr. Frawley as Robert Burns. The play, probably, has been dug out of a contemptible novel that was pub lished a year or two ago on the Clarinda stori" AHt f r.MFATK. AMI KIFiT. Gossip from Ktaareland. Mrs. Langtry is now a grandmother, a daughter having been born to her daughter last week. Eugenie Blair Is playing "Saplio" In Bos ton. How'd you liko to .carry her up a flight of stairs? Mae Naudoiri sang at s Sunday concert In New York and won a great triumph, be ing recalled a dozen times. Ada Rehan Is suing the Daly estate, and a complete adjustment of accounts between star and manager is likely to ensue. R. M. Mantell, having conquered Shakes peare by presenting a "Richard III." that stands sul generis, Is now reviving "Tho Corsican Brothers." Henrietta Crosman is in Chicago, re hearsing the company with which she Is to present "Mistress Nell" on her western tour. Her visit to Omaha will be the first in five years. Mrs. Flske will take "Loan Klesrhna" on a tour of the west, opening in Chicago on April 17. She will visit the Pacific coast, hut will not be seen in Omaha, unless at the Auditorium. Maxlne Elliott is to present "Her Own Way" In London. This will give our Eng lish friends a chance to see what Americans have to stand for on the stage, and may reconcile them to some of the things they complain of. Lillian Russell refused to play a matinee at a one-night stand, although the house was sold out, and now the Shuberts are facing a suit by the house manager. The advance agent arranged for the matinee without asking the fair Lillian. Vernon Stiles, who was recently In Omaha, lost his poeketbook and arrived In Colorado Springs without n cent. Ho knew no one there, and. falling to reach his western ranch by wire, borrowed money from Grace Von Studdlford to enable hint to niake his way over the mountains to his rsncb home. Nat Goodwin has fallen back on his old repertory and Is now offering "he Glided Fool" and "An American Cltiaen," and is doing well with them. It's a pity thut no one can write a play in which Mr. Goodwin can succeed. His recent ventures In the pursuit of new ones have been lamentable and almost grotesque failures. AMISEME.MS.
