TIIH OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: .TANUAIJY 15. 1011. Some Notes of the Managers' Troubles IS H HUE'S another case of "wnrk'r.m both sides of the street. " . Mr lanie.l f'rohman allows Jilmxelf to be Interviewed for tlie Now York Herald, and (lalv.rntrx a plan to have a drama tie de partment established In connection -with the sreat universities of the omintry. In order that our future a tors may recelv compe tent Instruction from tutors who ran train them In all that we lark of being equal to the foreign stage; It will bring, incurs Mr. FVohman, to the American stjige u class of young men and women. who arts especially trained and naturally gifted, and will surely tend to elevate tho standard of act ing. Comes also Mr. Marc Klaw of "K. & and adds his inlte to the debate, only Mr. Klaw plead for the child w ho Is being deprived of his privilege of "acting" until lie ha reached the age of 14 years. Mr. Klaw works himself up to a rral concert pitch .in Ms .remarks, as witness this sen tence. In which 'he deplores thut 'fact that the managers have not checked the ten dency to restrict the use of children on the etago: ' We have-sat idlv by while bigotry has run riot In this direction. and while the Jnon and women composing this child labor committee: may lie most reputable, thev are Koing about their work with a fanataclsm, an Indiscretion and a mercilcssnesB worthy tf the Salem witch-burners. The stage child of this rountry has been neglected all too long. There has ttlwavg been too much or too little lone for It, In.th operation to the disadvantage of the child -There lurks a suspicion that back of this child labor committee there are many peo ple who are simply using this agitation to Jtaln a little publicity and to serve personal ends. It reminds me of the etorv of JMoriysliis, the tyrant, who robbed' the vtatua of the Olymplun Jupiter of Its man tle of gold and replaced It with a woolen ; cloak, siiylng that the gold covering was loo cold In winter and too heavy in sum mer, and "We must look after Jupiter." In support of 'his argument Mr. Klnw cites a few plays that may not be enacted without the use of children, among them "KltiK John," "A Mid-summer Night's , Iream." Materlinck's "Bluebird," "nip Van Winkle,' and others. "King John" Is po rarely acted that few people who pat ronize the theater for their entertainment ever saw It on the state. "A Mid-summer Klght'a Dream" has been played, and very successfully, without children: "The Blue bird". Is a freak play, and Is not at all likely to ever become especially widely familiar; "JUp Van Winkle" has been very wall . and often played without the as sistance of children under the age of . 14 years, and. well nigh any play can be pro duced under the restriction. Hut Mr. K law's chief support for his plea for the utage child Is that It Is essential for the actor to begin early in order to achieve frreatness on the stage. He hoots at the theorythat the child should not be allowed to walk upon the stage until it Is 14 years old iia absurd: If the child Is to become an actor, It should spend Its childhood upon the stage, and grow up In the atmosphere. (This theory doesn't quite sepjare with Mr. f'rohman' notion that the future actor should be the product of a great university, but one nniBt be reasonable In dealing with the "New York managers. It Is unfair to expect them . to be consistent always. In passing, it might be said he said that the arguments Mr. Klaw makes have been urged by every employer of child labor in favor of his particular Industry. When next a foreign star comes to deal With Ooorge C. Tyler for any work In America, he will probably land In New York before he handles any considerable sum of the .money belonging- to Llebler & Co. The' experience of this firm with Pietro Mascagnl, the composer, has been such as will render It extremely unlikely that it will be caught that way again. Con tracts for the presentation of Mascagni s new opera, "Vsobel," in America were en tered into, and plans laid for the premiere in New York In November. The composer greed to come over and direct the re hearsals and conduct the first perfor mances, and was paid $10,000 in advance for Ills services. Llebler & Co. went ahead with thrlr plans, organized a company, and announced the presentation of the opera for November. Then came word from Mascagnl that he could not get the orchestration ready in time, and the open ing was, set for January. In the meantime, the company had been formed, with Miss liessie Abbott as the prima donna, and that it might be held together, a short tour of the south was arranged, the company singing some of the older operas. To this Mascagnl entered objection, saying that it was not fair that Miss Abbot should sing In another opera when she was to create the leading role -in his new composition. This objection was dismissed by the pro curing rum as trivial. When January came, no Mascagnl was In sight, and word came- that the orchestration -was not yet complete. Also, that Mr. Mascagnl desired some further payments, and that he had some changes to make. I.lehler Co, finally tired of his tactics and have decided Dot to produce the opera, but to enter - whatever legal proceedings their counsel may advise in the matter. Mine. Mas cagnl, explaining the peculiar course of her husband, says It was because Bessie Abbot had been selected to sing the lead Ing role; when the opera was first under war and contracts were made, tho part of Ysobel was one well suited to Miss Abbot's vocal equipment, but aa the work of CTim posing progressed, the part was chunked. until the maestro deemed It no longer within Miss Abbot's capacity. This and similar excuses are offered. The opera has been produced in Italy Hiid hailed there with mingled blame and praise. The episode serves to Illustrate the eccentric! ties of genius and the uncertainties that beset the manager's way in life. aSF ft CflMiil Mttiey ffara So Ciii leretoai&s I One week before inventory to clean out all odd lots and reduce the large stock of Thomas Kilpatrick and Company.

T. Cannon, Jr., came through Atlanta from Battle Cr'k Mich., on her way to Jacksonville, Fla., and be yond, driving- her horse, Dobbin, in a ver itable one-horse ehay. he has been on the road for forty-three days and expects to drive that many more before she fin ishes her trip south. From Atlanta she Is planning to follow the rout of the round-the-atate tour as far as she can and then proceed on her own road. Since Mrs. Cannon and her 17-year-old dauttliter Miss le Emery Cunnon, left Battle Cr-ek forty-three days ago they have encountered all kinds of roads and all kinds of weather, but not once during that time have they been delayed by a i-toriu or breakdown. Old lobbin does not blow out, nelthur does his radiator freeie and there waen't a puncture on the trip. This is not the first time they have taken in these driving trips through the country and betore the slops Mrs. Can non exiects to hold all records for lung distance travel by means of the old fash ioned horse and buggy. Mrs. Cannon and her daughter claim to be very much imrpoved In health and mind by their long trip and Dobbin has gained eighty I'uunjs. N A RICCENT conversation with Dr. Davidson, superintendent of the Omaha publio schools, the main theme was the possibility of a fuller recognition of music in the educational system. There ia a very good work being done by very earnest and untiring people in the line of school music, here and in other places. Hut the problem which is going to be taken up generally Is the matter of placing music on a line with other studleB. The only at tention which can be given to music at present Is on a large and, as it were, whole sale plan. There Is not the oonortunltv rn. the Individual work, nor Is there the possi bility to do anything if there were oppor tunity. Why? Because such a thing would require a host of special teachers. I eople are becoming more musical. Busi ness men, who years . ago . consid ered music as an iniiuini .nj . passing fad, are now supporting music through the subscription list to the opera, the orchestra, or the concert. Th.v have the latest mechanical Blnglng and playing devices In their homes, and by hearing frequently the best people do the test inings, they are gradually acquiring an appeUte for the best offerings of music. iiiey are now taking the position that music is worth paying for, and that the promotion of musical growth ia a oo.., business Idea. - ' ' It la safe to fssert that buBinexs men today ax a general rule have taken a very different stand as regards music than they would have done twenty years ugo or pel haps than business men of twenty jears ago in the same jKisltlon dally would have taken. ine result is bound to be tii i early future much mora attention is going to be paid to music as an Indlvldnul edu cational force. Here is one of the problems of the musi cal field. Many of our teachers of Instru mental music are sadly Inconvenienced' hv the difficulty of finding hours for the stti dents of say from 10 to 17 years of age. These students leave school In the after noon and can probably not arrive at any studio before 4 o'clock, or at the earliest half-past 3 o'clock. In the winter season, which Is the busy teaching season, It Is aooui a or t.M p. m. That gives a teacher only about a scant two hours each day for the portion of his teaching which Is devoted to school children from the grades and from high school. ThJnk of the number of possible pupils In the schools, and the limited number of good teachers, and you will see that there Is now a problem which is going to be a greater one very soon, with the rapidly increasing Interest In the matter of music. Music, aa before stated, cannot be taught In the private, individual way In the public schools; but could there not be devised a --j- uj miu-n nona nae students of music could be excused from school earlier on muslc-leeson days for outside lessens with reputable Instructors? Could not these music teachers report to the school au thorities tho progress of the pupils by a system of marking similar to that em ployed in other studies. And could not the pupils receive credit for good work done with an outside teacher, who would be considered an auxiliary teaching foroe. a co-operating adjunct to the schools without any Increased cost to the si hool fund or to the taxpayers? There Is considerable ventilation of this subject Just now, and there has been much discussion about it In other places. Dr. Davidson will be found very receptive to reasonable plans which can be made to work with the best practical results. The matter Is here mentioned for the first time, but It is expected that there will be some Interesting views of others quoted in this column from time to time. We cannot be more useful In any line that will count more, than In this study of the music of the public schools. The musical staff of our school system should have the heartiest support and co-operation of all music-loving people outside, professional and other wine. In this "column attention has fre quently been drawn to the good work of Miss Fannie Arnold and her assoclutes, as well as to the school teachers who develop the musical side of their rooms. Schools have been visited and reports of the work have been given through this medium, and that work proved interesting, intensely In teresting to the visitor, as he tried to de clare In his reports. The muslo of the public schools will al ways have the hearty Interest of this de partment, and any assistance desired thai Is reasonable will be gladly given. was a conspicuous attention to detail In these performances. True, the orchestra was entirely too small for the proper pres entation of such a work aa '"Carmen," but the chorus, while not large, was trained to do many things not usually seen In these traveling companies. They did not sing loudly all the time; they did not stand like sticks or set pieces; the minor parts were in good bands; the soloists did not try to appeal to the vulgar taste, but as a rule sang with good taste and proper Judg ment. There Is a great field for a good organization with a good-sired orchestra playing more' of the modern things and enough of the old favorites to attract those who do not yet feel ready to accept the modern things. If music Is the language of heaven, a lot YANK IS A FIGHTING NAME Hook ft I'p with Connecticut and stmeg- Congressman Will Do Ihe Rest. If there la anybody so benighted that ha does not know that the finest person on earth Is a Connecticut Yankee, let him dare to display his ignorance in the presence of Representative Ebenexer J. Hill of Nor walk. Mr. Hill rose up In his wrath and challenged the whole house of cepresenta tlves to find any fault with th far-famed sons of the Nutmeg slate. Mr. J. P. Rowell. son of the mayor of Stamford, la responsible for the row. It came about because Mr. Rowell, who was suffering from consumption, went down to of people will have to use the sign lan-oklahoma a few years ago and married We sometimes hear it said that this com munity has been making tremendous strides in musical growth. It Is not strictly true. r And It la well that .lt is not strictly true. For if it were, we might fear the danger of reaction. A "boon" . is not a good thing in music any more than In a city's expansion. It is "growth" that counts. The dictionary describes a "boom" as a. hollow roar. A lot. of noise and not much growth or power. Many a person has been a lung sufferer because of a botm,' but who has ever suffered from growth? So in music, Omaha has been '.--nn'esi'nij'' tremendous strides lately, 1ul It has no suggestion of a boom. It is the evidence of a long and steady growth. A corn crop In September la not a boom. It has made tremendous strides: these strides are perhaps especially manifest in September, but the growth has been steady since the spring. Omaha has never had belter musical pros pects than now, and this Is not due to any recent wave of musical Interest, but rather to a continued steady progress In which all of Omaha's musical workers have had a part and In which they can all .claim a share of honor. Therefore there will be no reaction. Long before any of us who are now In the harness there were valiant workers for the cause of music, and Omaha has merely passed through the process of building up, and such building that with the solid foundation already laid, we may expect great achievements and splendid results in the future. - Those who are now working quietly and privately, or publicly, have the opportunity of their lives to mould and form the musi cal sentiment of the future. An Hem of interest to lovers of music is the approaching visit of the Cincinnati I mphony orchestra. This organization is under the direction of Leopold SiukoTskl. who seems to be creating a fine impres sion. The dissolution of the 1'iusbui th Symphony orchestra gave Mr. -StokuvsAi an opportunity to get some iiootl men to add to his organisation, and the prospects are that Omaha will have a chance to heur some excelUut work. . The recent opera season by lua A burn Fnglish Urand Opera company was well supported by the people of Omaha. The manager states that he hoi to come back every year, and that he will have a larger orchestra Is practically assured through the success of this season's work. There guage when they arrive there. Music does not need appreciation any. more than does the sunshine. But we need the sunshine, and we ourselves are the beneficiaries of a musical appreciation. We can not "give up" mUBic any more than we can give up a moonlight night. But we can deprive ourselves of Its beauty and its illumination. THOMAS J. KELLY. ' Musical otes.

Representative Charles II. Burke of South Dakota, chair man of the committee on Indian affairs. Informed the house that his committee and congress had been "hoodwinked" by Mr. Rowell last spring, and that a bill passed at that time to give him some land and recognise his enrollment as an Indian ought to be repealed at once. I'p Jumped Mr. Hill, and waved In the air a telegram from the mayor of Stam ford, In which he was asked to oppose the contemplated action against, his son. lie demanded to know what was the hurry and could not Mr. Rvwell have a chance to be heard. Mr. Burke replied that an action haf been begun in the courts to compel Mr. Ballinger, secretary of the interior, to grant a patent to the land under the act passed last spring and that unless some thing was done in a hurry the court might order the law carried out to the letter. It was that this point that Representative Henry A. Cooper of Wisconsin, a repub lican "Insurgent," got Into the fray with the remark: "The house ought not to stand for being Imposed upon by this Connecticut Yankee." Mr. Hill grew red In the face, but before he could be recognized Mr. Cooper had left the chamber. "The gentleman from Wisconsin," shouted Mr. Hill, "has filed his gun and fl.d. But 1 want to say that 1 am a Connecticut Yankee with 250 years of as fine ancestors behind me as can be found anywhere, and 1 am proud of it- During the war with Spain northerners and southerners foufeiit side by side In Cuba and Porto Rico and they were called 'Yanks.' They were proud of It, too. The gentleman from Wisconsin; if he had a little bit of Connecticut Yankee blood In his veins, would be a good states man.' ' The house decided to let Mr, Rowell re main an Indian If he wanted to, but took the land away from him. New YorTt Her ald. - . JOHN BULL'S POLITICAL BARL'S A general election costs anything from fl.000,000 to 2,000,000, according to the num ber of seats contested, and activities of both parties. One of the most costly elec tions was, undoubtedely that of 1908, when liberals and conservatives, not to forget laborltes and nationalists, entered with zest and plenty of money into the strug gle for political supremacy. Altogether, It has been estimated that the election re aulted in candidates spending over f2,000, 000. And so the question arises as to how the great political parties secure the hun dreds of thousands of potmda which are absolutely necessary for their existence. Of course, the majority of members of parliament pay all their own expenses, run the local political organization, and, if they can, subscribe to the fund at head quarters, but it is the wealthy men of the country men who do not necessarily stand for parliament that the great parties look to for support. Most wealthy men have, by reason of the source of their wealth, some axe to grind. Perhaps Jones, the millionaire, believes that free trade Is responsible for his huge income. Well, then, Jones subscribes heavily to tho funds of the party which has, for one of Its objects, the maintenance of free trade On the other hand, perhaps, Robinson, also a millionaire, Is firmly convinced that If we had protection his millions would be Increased, and so he subscribes to the protection party. Then, again, there are diverse questions regarding home rule for Ireland. Welsh disestablishment, big or little navy, Indian government, and so on all these have their Influential supporters, and all are not persons who wish to make personal gain out of them. Then there Is the very large party which uses politics to get into society. It may be only the local society, but doors hith erto locked may be opened to them If they subscribe towards the local Conservative a.sociation or Liberal club. It Is estimated that during 1910 the con servatives and liberals have employed ova 160 speakers, all of whom are paid regular weekly salaries, varying from S pounds to) 20 pounds, and expenses. Then cost of touring vans must be taken Into considera tion, while the clerical staff and offices) necessary for headquarters run away wlttj thousands of pounds per annum. And to meet this, there Is constant appeal to tha wealthy. They do things In a lordly manner in the, unionist party. Thus, when Mr. Chamber, lain entertained a few of his most promi nent supporters at dinner In the early days of his protection campaign a subscription list exceeding 50,000 was taken after the' dinner. This was a record, but the liber1 ' als have also wealthy supporters, and It Is nothing unusual for the treasurer to the party to receive a check for 0.000, or even 10,000 from a prominent supporter. For the expenses of the wonderful general elec tion of 190rt a well known Industrial icer was said to have given the lllieial irty triO.OdO. . In connection with this subJiA It is well to recall the case of a financier who sent a check for 60,000 to the late Lord Sells bury for the purposes or political propa ganda. There was a condition attached to It, and Lord Salisbury felt doubtful if he would be able to fulfill it. although tliu donor was already a member of J'aiiia ment. He consulted yueen Victoria on the matter, and the queen promptly ordered the money to be returned. A few months later that self-same man wus wanted by the police for fraud. One of the strangest chapters In political history was opened by the Jameson raid, inquiry In London. It was acknowledged, by the lata Cecil Rhodes that he hail con tributed In one sum 10,000 to the funds of the Irish party. Ills condition was that Parntil should agree to accept and support a clause In any future home rule hill t enable any colony to claim representation, at Westminster proportionate to Its con. tiibutlun to Imperial purposes army, navy and diplomatic services. It will be seen that many are the sources from which the great parties obtain their supplies. Most of the contributors have their own fads to insidre them they want certain questions brought to the front, or they wish to enter Parliament. It Is eay enuut.li to' guess the reasons which prompt thousands of persons to foot the bill pre sented by a general election London Answers.
