But the artistic Instinct overcome the mere commercial, and she elected to devote her talent to something of value, believing that she could be a success both as an artist and a money ranker. In a Inrge measure her ambition has been reallied. Hhe haa thor oughly proven her capability us an actress, and she has also been something of a sue cfss from a financial point of view. Owing to the fact t hut the range of modern drama offered her nothing better than she was leaving she turned to the classics for a play, and her first season in "Twelfth Night," while not the most notable produc derful power, and was well on the road to the grave when lie wrote the pUiy that bears the name.

The plot dates baik to the Grecian drama, Kuripedes Inning used a similar set of Incidents at least 4i years before Christ. Shakespeare borrowed his plot from a novel that was much in vogue at tlie time he produced the play, and Its anachronisms point most directly to the haste with which It ws prepared.

Only a few years before he had written "Othello," with Its Intense air of tragedy, and now he was to take the Identical theme, and work It out a different way, preserving Its essential features, and yet changing Its ultimate purpose, to the end that when the storm of Jealousy .had blown by the principals might come out. tempered In mind and soul, and "live happily ever after." Just what It was hud converted the poet to the "happy ending" Idea is not appurent, heynnd the general circum stance that he was older, his struggle over and his future secure, at least so long as he might live.

An Impressive grand opera season, where society may display Its pride In drees, where -irt and music circles may yield hom age to the great wo.ks of the muster'com posers and where the lowliest music lover may bathe In the glorified harmonies of When the time raine to select a play for the present season the choice of Miss Allen ind her brother-manager halted between "Cymhelline" and "The Iloneymcon." filially resting on "The Winter's Tale" as a sort of compromise. In this she is given an opportunity to show the elasticity of her art by enacting the widely differing Wagner or drink in the brilliant and easy- flowing melodies of the Prench and Italian schools of opera, is the almost unprece dented event in the musical history of Omaha until tl.ln year. Such a season has been promised and looked forward to by opera lovers in this and surrounding cities ever since the announcement, nearly a yeir ego, hy Henry W. Savage, the well known Boston manager, that he would send his great Fngliah-slngliig organization on a compb te transcontinental tour. With It complete equipment of artists and chorus, numbering over 15o In all. with Its full grand opera orchestra of forty-five men, and elab c.rate productions; that require a chartered train of fourteen cars for its transort. tlon, Mr. Savage's company will reach Omaha, Thuraduy, April at), presenting dur ing Its brief vHIt of three days four of the world's great masterpieces. The lepertory for the engagement Is one of unusual In terest. On Thursday evening it opens with what ha undoubtedly proved to be the most popular opera in the world. Wagner's "Lohengrin." As presented by the Bsvage company Thursday evening it will be given In Its entirety, and for those who do not take their music seriously there will bo tho charm of the "Wedding Murch" and the overture, while those who are more de voted to the master can revel In the ma Jueatic harmonies, the orchestra, prelude to the third act, Lohengrin's poetic "Swan Song." Elea's "Dream Song," and the stir ring ensembles and part songs. On Friday evening Bizet's florid and pas sionate tone picture of, gipsy life In Seville, "Carmen." will be the bill and will Intro duce to opera lovers or Omuha Minis Marlon lvell in the title role. ' Next year Mls Ivell sings this role in the lending European centers. Saturday nia;lnee will be devoted tu one of Wagner's earlier and most popular of music dramas. "Tannhuuner." No opera that Wagner ever wrote Is so prolific In individual melodies as "Tnnnhauser." nor Is there any of his music which surpassed it In charm. On Saturday evening, when the festlvul closes, there will be an opportunity for the lovers of the old school of opera to revel In the striking tunes and songs of one of Verdl'a greatest accomplishments, "11 Trov Htore. " Here will be splendid opportunity for the Suvuge forces to show their perfect ensemble training and for tho artists lo give free range to their powers. The opera will bo given In Its entirely, including the well remembered "Anvil Chorus, l'he Mlfirerle," und the stirring duet In the last act. The unexcelled performance given by the Savng Kngllsh "Parsifal" company in Omaha recently, und which made such u profound Impression, Is a guarantee for roles of the dignified and gracious queen and the untutored girl, whose dignity conies solely from her modesty and the persistent notion that "blood will tell." llennlone Is the daughter of one king and the wife of another, and it is easy to clothe her with the attributes that should surround her in her exalted station, as well as to secure for her the natural indignation that follows on a womanly woman's being foully accused by the man who should protect her. Shakespeare realized If he did not voice the sentiment so deftly phrased by Maurice Barrymore. "IOvery blow struck In defense of a woman's name puts a dent In her reputation." Here every attempt lo defend the queen against the iiccusatlon of the king only makes him the more de termined In his course. Heriulone, dragged from her bed of pain to face a trial that she realizes will be a farce, nerves herself to a most eloquent defense, not for herself, but for her children. Here the conditions are most thoroughly realized by Miss Allen's conception of the situation, and a more impressive scene is rarely afforded than that of Hermione in the dock, with the Ieontes in the Judgment sent. It hardly requires the athletic feat accom plished by the star. In hrr most realistic, tumble, to convince the close watcher of her sincerity. In voice, in manner, in atti tude and every form fof expression, the art of the actress makes her position most convincing. It was done with consummate skill and exceedingly good taste, showing that Miss Allen Is temperamentally equip ped as well as mentally fitted for the un dertaking. It Is rather us Perdlta, though, that she shows to advantage. Miss Allen's natural bent. If bent she has, seems to be for com edy rather than tragedy, and while she is impressive as the injured queen, she la more natural as the daughter. Jn the ex uberance of her girlhood, frank, free as the nature with which she lias been reared, untutored In school or court, she Is the delightful emliodlmont of the Innocent charm that makes the girl of her uge ihe sweetest of living creatures. She enters Into the conception of the role with a spirit apparently untrammeled by con ventionalities,, and gives us just what the jiart requires, a natural girl, it wus this personal attribute that enabled her to so mtlsf singly portray Viola, and would make her a success in "Cymbellne." Comedy of the higher class Is aun-ly her forte, and In It She will undoubtedly find her befet opportunity for the full use of her ac complishments. The selection of u play for her use this year was not happily made. Shakespeare had already passed the zenith of his won- the exc-ellence and high standard of merit of the Knglish grand opera company, the same superb en-emble effects being at tained. flenri French, the Kuropeati novelty alilt. will make bis tirst appearance here with the new and vatie.l bill that opens the week Willi a inntinee today at the Orepheinn. His entertainment is of the versatile kind and said to be no less clever. Rapid changes. Impersonations, facial ex pressions, "cycle stunts." throughout which he runs humor, are among his specialties. Ielmore and Lee, styled the modern ath letes, also come for the first time, with the promise of something quite original in the aerial line, especially their equilibrists act on a balancing ladder. Clinrb s Hurry and Ilulcla Halvers, formerly of the "Babes In Toyland'' company, contribute song, dunce- and comedy, (iteen und W ernes pre sent their original creation, "Babes of the Jungle," :i musical sketch with elaborate scenic investiture, In which the players treat the audience to singing, dancing and comedy In the manner of the Hottentot, the principal number being "The Congo Love Song." In addition to . her musical accomplishments. Miss Mabelle Adams, violin virtuoso, is described as very beauti ful, possessing altogether a personality with a charm that enhances the Attrac tiveness of her performance. Oallando, the' famous clay modeler, after an absence of five years, return- with his amuztngly rapid work of the studio, while to round out the program the klnodrome will pro Ject an entirely new series of the very latest motion jdctures. Sunday and Monday evenlnps at the Boyd theater. Harry c'orsoii Clarke, the well known comedian, will be seen In his latest great success. "His Absent Boy." by Sid ney Rosenfeld. This is one of thos- roar ing farces in which Mr. Clarke has made nuch a name for himself from const to coast. The piece Is one of the Rosenfeld sort, and that means much, for the gifted Sidney Is always blight and always clean. The company with Mr. Clark Is one of his own selection indeed, the clever star Is managing his own tour In every particular and Is, quite up '.o his standard. Jlla en gagement at the Boyd is necessarily lim ited to the two performances, but these should be the occasion of large gatherings. For three nights and one matinee, start lug with a matinee today, the great rail road play, "The Midnight Kxpress," will be the attraction at the Krug theater. In every scene of this great play there Is a thrill, a sob, a laugh. Comedy alternates with pathos, and the play as a whole pos sesses that great human interest which Is necessary to make a play, be It melo drama, drama or tragedy, successful. The story Is al once logical and interesting and the attention of the audience is held from the minute the curtain goes up until the final fall. The management lias spared no expense In the production and the scenic effects, as well as the company and cos tumes, will be found to be all that can be desired. Among scenes that take by the sea, the fulled Slates life savers at work and the wrecking of nn ocean liner. In the hist act a ponderous engine and twelve curs dash across the stage at the rate of fifty miles an hour. - "For Fame and Fortune," the play which Hal Rcld has written for Terry McQovern, will be the atractlon at tho Krug theater two nights and one matinee, starting with a matinee Wednesday, April IS.
