Only enough of tha truth has bwn told to make ono side of the case clear, and not enough to give tho public a real good idea of what tha conditions are. The Bee la no lover of the trust, and least of all of the theatrical truflt. But The Bee does love to boo fnlr play. In time pant, and iome not so far paat. It lias found occasion to ciitlclro methods of tho New York managers, and enpeclally the methods of Klaw & Krlangor, and It will probably have to do so again. It han also referred In terms of regretted, but merited rebuka to Mr. David Belasco. At tl.o time tho low as llrst taking on Its serious phase, The Hen called attention to the fact that Mr. Hulasco had not discovered the enormity of the syndicate until he become dissatin;d with his position In it, and that bin suit now Is not for the disruption of tho syndicate, but to obtain an account ing with Klaw & Erlanger, so that he may find where he stands on the matter of profits. That's all. Art Is David's greatest ob ject of worship, but Art can take a vacation until he bus settled his financial rrlutluns with his enemies. Mr. Belasco bus made some very sensational statements In his published and spoken references, and these have been denied with more or lens emphasis and elegance by Mr. Kt latiger, who Is tho spokesman for himself and partner. Neither has undertaken as yet to put any of the 'mutters referred to to the proof, and so about the only thing that has been etitablishod is that each of the gentlemen la possessed of a vocabulary that should rouse the envy of & Billings gate fishwife. Also that they are adepts at its use. Persons who hava bad oc casion to visit New York since the breaking out of the war, tell some funny stories of tha sights up on shorty-second street, near Broadway about the time the gentlemen repair to. their offices each morning. But that has little or nothing to do with either ult or syndicate. In order that the matter may bo better licHX nl Duw & llayinan was unsulidated with that of C. B. Jefferson, Klaw A ErlatKter. and Nixon Zimmerman of I'hlladelphla entered the company. Various house managers throughout the country were won over to the plan, because It offered advantages that were too apparent to be mistaken, and now there Is hardly a flrst-class theater In the whole country that has not a contract with the booking company called the "syndicate." Producing manngers were as quirk in take advantage of the plan as were the managers of the theaters. It offers an opportunity to arrange a season's business at a very little expense, and In such a wny as to give the best opportunity for suc cess. The house manager has the advan tage of knowing that he is practically cer tain of getting the attractions promised, and the company manager knows that he will get the "time" arranged for. Mem bers of companies going out on syndicate bookings know that they will get their pay, and, If the company breaks on the road, that they will be taken back to the point of starting. The expense of maintaining this bureau, which 1m not small, Is de frayed by an agreed percentage of receipts of each performance. It is so small that no manager has ever yet been heard to complain of It. Syndicate, In thla Instance. Is simply business management. It Is nec essary for the sucres of the theatrical business. Where the "trust" feature comes In is In the regulation of routes, so that there will be no unnecessary competi tion. Everybody cannot have the best "time" In the best cltlet, and here the nynxHcate management operates as a re straint to competition, but Its restraint Is welcome to the managers and not a serious menace for the public. But, here comes the Philadelphia North American, and shouts at the top of Its editorial voice that the American people will stand for tampering with their politi cal liberties, and with their religious rights, but, woe betide the man or set of men. who undertake to trifle with their amusements. And then tho editor goes on to Inquire what has become of the art of Forrest, and Kean and Louisa Drew. Tt has been trampled Into tho mire beneath the hoofs of this beast of commercialism, fostered by the trust, and he calls for an uprising of the people to restore those glorious days. Well, while we are restoring things, why not restore somo other social elements that were con temporaneous with the actors mentioned? Ixst us put our railways back to those days, let us abandon telephones, and elec tric lights, and heat our theaters with stoves, and light them with yellow gus lights, and ride to them in horse cars, or walk over streets to which asphalt paving has not yet been Introduced. And understood. The Bee will try to explain, let us have the newspaper of those good tho syndicate. It Is merely a booking ar rangement, entered Into by the managers of various theaters throughout tho coun try and the managers of tha companies that go on the road. It is a sort of clear ing bouse for theatrical business, and the central office is at the headquarters of Klaw St Erlanger, who, with Al Hayman and Charles Frohman, constitute the book ing company. It was named the "syndi cate" In the early days of its existence, and the name stuck. Its enemies, who axe not so very many, call It the "trust" Home ten years ago the idea originated with Will J. Davis, then doing well In Chloago, who, with Al Hayman, tried to get control of a string of theaters reaching front New York to Ban Francisco. He un dertook to lease the Boyd theater in Omaha, but Boyd A Haynes, who then had the house, declined to give way, but did arrange to have him do the booking for the theater. About the same time C B. Jefferson, Klaw A Erlanger saw the usefulness of the plan and started a similar booking agency. Fazton ft Burgess, then managing the Crelghton In Omaha, want Into the second scheme. Later the bust- old days, too, when the yellow journal would be promptly suppressed. Quite a lot of things might as well be restored as the art of that bygone time. It Is as reasonable to ask It for one branch of human activity as for another, and If the theater Is to be turned back fifty years, why should not everything else receive a similar setback? Has, art really suffered under the direc tion of the syndicate? Omaha's experience will serve as an illustration. Up till last spring David Belasco was in harmony with the syndicate methods. Three seasons ago he had three stars out, and Ave seasons ago he had two, Blanche Bates and Leslie Carter. In those five years one of his stars appeared in Omaha, Mrs. Carter. Neither Planche Bates nor David War field did he send here. For six years the Orpheum theater might have been rented by Harrison Grey Fiske for Mrs. Flske's uses, but he did not send her here. Last winter, when he was trying to prevent Stair & Havlin from coming to an agree ment with Klaw & Erlanger, he sent his star on a tour of tha Stair & Havlin popular priced theaters, and she appeared fur one consecutive night lu Omaha. In five years, then, Omaha has had two at tractions, offered by these persistent cham pions of the art. Suppose the Onisha managers had Joined In the clamor agalnf-t the syndicate, how would the theaters have prospered here? Look on the other side of the picture. At the theater that Is "controlled by the syndicate" we have seen during this time, not one or two, but practically all the great actors and actresses of the English speaking stage, and some of the great foreigners. Irving, Mansfield. Wlllard. Sothern, Drew, Skin ner, Kenan. Terry, Bernhardt, Marlowe, Adams. Why should space be taken to name them? They have been here and have given us the best of tho playwrights" works. Does It appear from this that the cause of art has locally suffered because the contracts for the Boyd theater are made through the booking agency di rected by Klaw & Erlanger? Hardly. As to the charge, that concerns the managers alone, not the public, for Mr. Flske con vinced us that art doesn't come any less per seat because It Is "Independent." Coming Kveots. Olad tidings come from Boyd's In the announcement that Henrietta Crosman is to be the attraction at that theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This will be Miss Crosman's first visit to Omaha as a star,a and ought to awaken decided interest even among the most apathetic and occasional play-goers. She will pre sent two plays which have never been seen here. Her first offering will be "Mistress Nell." This is the comedy by George C. Haielton In which she scored a run of two years in New York. The central character Is Nell Qwyn, and the comedy begins with her meeting with Charles It, whose favorite she became. There are merry adventures and gay pranks, for no part of Nell Gwyn's char acter could be depicted without the le nunts of rogulsimcss, daring and mls chievousness, combined with tenderness and loyalty. There are mad escapades and adventurous larks, which are nono the less gay from the fact that a plot against the state Is spoiled during the merry-making. As In "Mistress Nell" MIbs Crosman has delighted all who have seen her In the comedy, io she will please her audiences In Omaha. "Mistress Nell" will be the bill for Thursday and Friday nights and for the Saturday matinee. On Satur day night Miss Crosman will appear in her celebrated double bill, "Nance Old field" and "Madeline." In this program he reveals the versatility for which .she is famous. "Nance Oldfleld" Is a comedy, while "Madeline" touches the deeper and more powerful emotions. This play was written by Mrs. W. K. Clifford, and Miss Crosman has the sole American right. It is the story of a woman scorned, who, after planning to kill the man who had rejected her to wed another, spares him and takes her own life., Miss Crosman will be supported by an excellent company, which was especially engaged for her pres ent tour. It Includes if. Reeves Smith, Addison Pitt, William Herbert, Edwin Fowler, J. R. Furlong, John Steppllng, John J. Burke, Alfred Cahill, Augustiu MacHugh, Emily Rlgl, Victoria Addison, Fanchon Campbell and Bertha Carlisle. Way" was postponed until Tuesday of this week. While tho Shrlners are holding their meeting at the temple on Wednesday, April they have arranged to entertain their ladles and children with an extra matinee at the Orpheum. Seats for the party have been reserved in a body on the first floor of the theater. The public will not be excluded ani regular patrons can purchase tickets al the box office. Members Of the Bovd School of Acting . "J- . , . . win give four one-act plays on Monday At the Krug theater for four nights and night at the the.ter-'Judlth," "The two matinees, starting Sunday matinee.' Dummy," "A Fair Equestrienne' and "In 'Heart Of iv( ny, oy rwioeri irowiniii' n Ftory. The stage embodiment of this story should prove even more attractive. It Is said that Dustln Karnum, who Is playing the title rnle. Is In his manner and appearance the Virginian himself, and, Manager Klrke Le Shelle asserts that he Ideallxes the character of this cowboy hero. Helen Holmes Is the cowboy's sweetheart. To Show Gift Owing to the recent general clamor made against medicines containing large quantities of alcohol, Doctor Pierce has decided to prove to the public that his "Favorite Prescription" for the diseases and weaknesses . of women is not a patent medicine in the full accept ance of that term. Hereafter the ingredients of his 'Favorite Prescription" will be printed on the wrapper of every bottle that leaves the laboratory. YOU CAN TRUST A medicine that has been deservedly popular for over a third of a century that has cured thousands of women of those diseases peculiar to the sex and in which the manufacturer has sufficient confidence in the sterling merit of the medicine to give to the public a full knowledge of its ingredients. -EVERY WOMAN Who takes this " Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce, will know just what she is taking. This medicine contains the non-alcoholic extracts of the following native plants: LADY'S SLIPPKR (Cypripedium Pubescens). BLACK COHOSH (Cimiciuga Kacemosa). UNICORN ROOT Chamxlirium. Luteum). BLUE COHOSH (Caulcphyllum Thalictroides). GOLDEN SEAL Hydrastis Canadensis). NATURE'S OWN QURE ' For those distressing complaints so common to women. During an extended practice, in which Dr. Pierce ' made the diseases of women a specialty, he found that n rare combination of American medicinal plants would almost invariably cure all the debilitating wastes and drains, all the acnes and pains incident to womanhood. Consequently he put up tnis favorite remedy in a form that could be easily procured at every drug ktore. DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION Keeps women looking young by keeping disease away from those marvelously delicate organs which dis tinguish the female sex. It quiets the nerves, and stops those bearing-down sensations. It fits the wife for the task of child-bearing, making the period of gestation one of comfort, shortening labor ana making Ft almost painless. It fortifies the whole system, so that recovery after confinement is quick, and there are ' no dangerous after-effects. The babe of the woman who takes "Favorite Prescription" is sure to be health- . ier than the babe of the mother who does not take it The dramatization of Owen Vv'lster's widely read novel, "The Virginian," is to be seen at Boyd's for four nights, begin ning next Sunday, with matinees Monday and Wednesday. Mr. Wlster's Virginian is a man. He lives the life of his kind and one may not like all he does; but he acts the way such a man would act, and that ts what gives life and strength to his April 23, Lincoln J. Carter's Chloago" will be seen. This play has been before the public for ten years and has been played In every town and most of the theaters of Importance In the United States and Canada. The story Is familiar to every theater patron and needs no ex planation. An excellent cast Is said to be with the attractions this year and In cludes Mr. John T. Nicholson, whose play ing of John Ames Is a finished study. Oth ers In the company are Miss Mina Marley, Clydo Hess, Emily Leasing, Charles Wells, Blanche Boyer and others. Wells and Boyer give a neat specialty during the action of the piece. There are also several other specialties introduced. At the Krug theater? for three nights and Saturday matinee, starting Thursday night, April 27, the thrilling melodrama, "Escaped from Sing Sing," will be the attraction. This play Is one of the oldest productions now before the puClic, but each season many new features have been added In order to keep the play, thoroughly up to date In every respect. The story deals with a husband whoforges a check on the bank of his wife's father In order to provide cash to assist a paramour. After his re-, lease from prison the husband becomes a notorious character. During the action of the play many sensational scenes are pre sented In an elaborate manner, with com plete electrical and mechanical effects. The place of distinction on the roster of new acts that start the week with a mat inee today at the Orpheum Is allotted to tho popular and dainty comlo opera star, Dolla Fox, who opened her tour of the Orpheum circuit at Kansas City last week. Miss Fox will sing selections from comic operas. Another exploitation Is Paul Powell's electrlo marionettes, from the Empire Music Hall, London. It Is prom ised to surpass any manikin "stunt" seen here. The little figures perform an amus ing assortment of feats, at the finish of which Is shown a beautifully illuminated electrlo grotto. Inhabited by fairies. Oeorge W. Day, in cork, will be entrusted wtlh the task of the single handed dispensation of funmaklng. He will have a budget of his own puns, Jokes and parodies to play on the rlslbles with. Mae Sailor, who may be Identified as "My Pink Pajama Girl," and Burrell, Barbar etto, the baritone, will offer a new musical skit called "The Man and the Maid with the Changeable Eyes." A comedy sketch entitled, "Between 7 and 9," that has for a theme a domestic complication that pro vides the basis for funny situations and lines, will be presentod by Mabel Bardine, while In the sensational lines the De Onza brothers, the reputed originators of the clever barrel jumping turn, will be the feature. The Ascot and Eddy troupe will furnish comedy of their own unique brand Intermixed with gymnastics. A series of timely new motion pictures will be pro Jeoted by the kinodrome. Gossip front Mageland. Willie Collier has gono to London with "The Dictator," and the English, are due for a few new sensations. Maxine Elliott reached London all right, only to find that her scenery had been left in America. Her opening In "Her Own and their recitals have all been attended by throngs, who genuinely relished the ef forts of the young folks. Wednesday evening, April M, "The Tu tor," a comedy In three acts, will be presented at the Crelghton University hall. Twenty-fifth and California streets, by a cast composed chiefly of former uni versity students. Rehearsals under a ca pable director have been going on for some weeks. Due attention has been given to costumes, and all the minor de tails of staging, action and proper deplet ing .of the various characters have re elvM studious consideration. The piece Itself, teeming with rare good humor and lively comedy, entertains and amuses con stantly from the rise of the curtain on the first act. Nearly all the members of the company have during their college course shown marked proficiency In elocu tion, oratory and the drama. The cast Is made up of the following members, who are bv no means new to Omaha audiences: Messrs. William A. Schall; John A. Benne wlts, E. F. Leary, Daniel B. Butler, John A. ijfiitleman, W. J. Donahue and J. F. Kelley. The fomalo characters will be layed by Miss Phllomena Clentlcman ana Mary Neu. whose Known ntstronio ability is sufficient guarantee that the roles assumed by each will be ably por trayed. The play Is given as a benefit lor the ureignton university Ainieuc sedation. His Crowning Effort fereeas Comes J not Before Death ta a Hrllllaat Yftang Composer. Just previous to his death W. We.tv Wells, the composer, wrote the song. "My beautiful, and ch Is so varied In char acter si tn make one wish to hear all, a rare finding In a watts, the principal strain being sit one usually rarrs to hear. The exceptional n.t tract Iveneae of "Indian Sum mer'' may be attributed largely to the composer having taken tho best strains from several of his unpublished waiters.

HIS Is the day that Christ rose, from the dead and proved to a world full of sad people that there Is something beyond death and the grave; that we are not tucked away In the brown earth forever, but simply rest In Its kind bosom until the loving Father shall call His children to a new and happier existence. Perhaps we shall live again In this same world. But for the sin which stains It nothing could be more beautiful. The old idea of streets of gold and a stiff, unbending God on a dazzling throne somewhere up In the sky Is far in the past. He Is not In the sky; He is not in the churches any more than He Is In the crowded streets or the silent woods. His spirit Ms everywhere. We shall not have to go to any strange, new place to come Into His presence. Easter day Is full of sunshine and Joy to those who still retain their earthly happi ness, whose lives have suffered no breaks and whose hearts harbor no empty places; and yet to them the reality of the promise must come but faintly and distantly. It Is to those who have tone through the ocean of sorrow, that the risen Christ comes In all His radiant glory, to know that death has an end and that some day, away off through the years, the spirits so much lovtd will be vitalized again. Paderewskl was very 111 while in Omaha, which accounts for the lack of a real, magnetic demonstration on the evening of his appearance at the Boyd's. A physician attended him during the day. It was with many misgivings that he started In on his recital. Ho said afterward that It was the worst concert, artistically speaking, that ) had given on Ills American tour, and seemed to feel depressed over It. I supixjse It Is hardly fair to expect a great artist to be always In absolute trim. There must of necessity be a few "off night." Never theleH it was disappointing not to hava Paderewskl establish his electric current In Omaha. He played superbly, but said he felt too ill to get into real touch with his audience. Much has beeij written this winter of Paderewskl'a Interpretations of Chopin, the admirers of De Pachnian censuring his manner of playing, and the worshippers at the gifted Pole's shrine, declaring that he gives Chopin, a clever, sane, Intelligent reading far beyond any living pianist. They even go so far as to call his inter pretations, "the new Chopin," as If no one before had so illumined Ills writings. Apropos the long pauses which have caused so much comment, Paderewskl stated that they were simply and solely to allow the reverberation of the piano to subside. Perhaps his ears are painfully acute, and distinguish resonance long after tlie audience has ceased to. lie pushes the Stelnway to Its last ounce. There are times when he might almost be accused of pounding. lie is after effects, which are lieyond the capacity of the pl.mo to express. A volume might be written about Paderewskl's use of the pedal. It ts nothing short of miraculous1 and the de spair of letiser men. A rather amusing siory Is told of Mine. Paderewskl. She has been with her hus band on this Journey. She is extremely sympathetic. When thev went down south she discovered oil the r veiling of her hus band's first concert that all the colored people were together In a gallery a ay up high. Her heart was Immediately touched. Vtithout saving anything to any body she climbed up and took her seat In the midst of the negToes. What was Paderewskl's amazement on coming out to begin his recital, to see hla wife sit ting In the top gallery, amid a perfect sea of darkles, but smiling and contented. "Love's Lottery" must be Just a lark for Mine. Schumann-Heink, after singing Wagner for so many years. Her greatest success was in the role of Ortrud, that sinister, gloom-ridden woman who tempts Elsa to her ruin. In her present part there Is no trace of that somber-hued creature. Who would ever have dreamed of Ortrud's changing Into such a Jolly, fun-bubbling person? At first Bchumann Heink's admirers were horrified , at the thought of light opera.- It seemed to mean that she was going down hill. That theory soon' exploded. Now her friends would rather regret to lose ' her from the ranks of true comedy. Her voice Is all that it used to be. She does light opera with the same conscientiousness that she did more exacting music. The serious songs which she interpolates are exquisite, Tho fa mous contralto has a hUBband and eight children. The last baby, little George Washington, was all but born on the Met ropolitan Opera house stage. He seemed to make no difference at all In his mother's professional engagements. He was a great pet and source of amusement to tho other members of the company after his ar rival. The concert promoters may well be proud of their first season. Five ilrst-class con certs huve been given with tho following attractions: The Suuret Trio, Jessica de Wolf, Rudolph Ganz, Ysaye and David Blapham, a pretty strong and interesting list. No money has been lost, and surely thorough satisfaction has prevailed among the subscribers,. Next year, with the repu tation which the promoters have made this season, It should nnt be difficult ' to get a much larger list of members. Mr. Borglum has shown himself a conservative, hard-headed president. More paid mem bers would lighten his responsibility greatly. The Bl.spham concert on Monday was a delight in every way and made a fitting finale to the season of 1904-5. Mr. Robert Cuscaden will give the third concert of the Philharmonic club on Thursday, April 27. at Crelghton Univer sity hall. The orchestra numbers will include the prelude to "Lohengrin," "Love Long," by Henselt, and a composition by Fred A. Cuscaden, (an Intermezzo, In waits movement.) The soloists have been chosen from members of the club. Misses Cleve, Shadduck, Miller, Mrs. Lena Dale and Mr. Franz. They will be accompanied by the full orchestra. Tickets fur sale at Hospe's music store. On May 11 "Pinafore" will be repeated at Boyd s theuter for the benefit of the Uood Shepherd s Home and the St. James Orphanage at Benson. The local com pany which performed this opera earlier In the season made a genuine success. The Omaha Guards, for their annual en tertainment nnd Ix nelit of their armory fund, will give "The Mikado" at Boyd a theater Wednesday night of this week.
