JVe i'TSr" have been led to believe that this people is a bloodless race, whose ichor mdves only to patriotic impulse, whose hearts have never throbbed with passionate pulsation, and whose minds are but a slide-rule of human conduct, and that the common aim of all Is but the domination of all affairs of mankind by the Japanese. This popular impression has been very carefully fostered, and some of its attributes have been justified by actual occurrences. Tiger hill, the crossing: of the Yalu river, One Hundred and Ten Meter hill, Mukden, the over whelming of Rojestvensky in the Japan ese seas, any of these bear eloquent testi mony to at least one aspect of Japanese devotion to Japan. If furtlver proof is lequlred, think of Nogl and his wife fol lowing on after Mutsuhito, that they might serve him in the spirit world as they had in this. Do not question the loyalty of Nippon's sons and daughters; fifty millions of them, and only one when It comes to country! It is a wonderful thing to contemplate. Also, in this month of October, when we have so recently wit nessed the celebration of another his torical event, let us recall for the moment it was Japan Columbus set sail for that day when he left Spain behind, and the great Genoese died in firm belief he had touched the shores of Cipango. Itut Walker Whiteside shows us that underneath all that devotion to country, that solemn consecration to duty, Vet tides of human life run firm and strong; love, and hate, and jealousy, friendship and kind actions, and a tender longing for the things that make the better and softer side of life, home and its dear ones, and the joys of living, when youth runs riot in the veins and the future is but a rosy veil, to be lifted with eager fingers. And greatest of all is love. It was not a good woman that Tokeramo loved; the flame of her passion had leaped for others be fore him, and had died out, only to be kindled again by a fresh Bpark from some passing fancy. Tokeramo was but the last of a considerable line, so tbe lady had the advantage of him in experience; perhaps she did him a favor in giving him her countenance. But Tokeramo loved her; it was his first love, and was so strong he was willing to give her over everything he had held dear in life, his country, hia oath, his honor, all that life meant for him, and she mocked him; and he killed her. ; What follows is purely theatric; the play ends when the doctor comes back from the bedroom and gives the verdict In 'a single word, "Dead!" The continuation is an exposition of a Caucasian concept f Mongolian emotions and purposes. It may or may not be accurate. The sacri fice of the young member of the colons that Tokeramo may finish his work; the concentration of all future attention on that work, and the unconcern with which Tokeramo's death Is accepted, once his mission has been accomplished, may or may not correctly represent the Nipponese mind in Its subtle workings; but they form a logical sequence of events whereby "what came after" is made clear. A fine high light is cast over this rather sordid situation by the presence of the German artist, whose Hfe has been wrecked by the same siren that lured the young Jap iLtuse to his destruction. This Is set out in such vivid contrast as to relieve the otherwise almost stagnant and certainly oppressive situation. As a whole, "The Typhoon' is a won derfully conceived and splendidly pre sented play. It Is eapy to understand why it has been a reigning sensation in Berlin; also, why the astute managers of New York turned it down, and why Mr. Whiteside chose It for his own, and why it has been and will be a sensation In this country for months to come. It Is a dis tinct novelty in playmaklng, technically flawless and played without fault. Mr. Whiteside has come into his own; his art has been praisea for many years through these columns, and pleasure la now found in attesting that the verdict passed by The Bee in dayB gone by is now received with approbation by both the mighty and the multitude. His re ception at the Boyd last week was such as must have given htm the highest per sonal satisfaction, . for it was one that only goes ouvto an actor who has really triumphed. It was deserved, for never has he done more convincing work than he achieves as Tokeramo; his ability for concentration as well as expression stands him well in hand here and in all ways he makes the role most impressive. After singling out Miss Fisher and Mr. Wilke, who share with the star in the burden of the play, for particular notice, the others will not take It amiss that they are grouped for a general commen dation. Better work was never yet seen on the Boyd stage and this is saying much, for that stage has felt the tread of the world s greatest actors in recent years and their supporting companies. The staging of the play is in keeping with the work of the company. j Miss Lang had a week of triumph at the Brandels. Night after night she was applauded by audiences that tested the capacity of the house, showing that her local popularity has not waned. This : all Very rilce and cannot help but please the charming young woman who was thus complimented. Yet it would be strange if it were not so; Miss Lang came among us seven years ago, young, almost inexperienced, but ambitious and eager to learn, and season after season she fame back for further work and to make new friends and to bind the old ones closer to her. No one knows better than she the length of road she has trav eled In that seven years, . the study and hard work, the effort to accomplish, to acquire and to master difficulties that stood in her way. And her present en gagement is giving proof of how she has advanced in the art of acting. She Is now mistress of many little tricks that come only with long experience;, her training In the school of the stock com pany, with Its weekly change of bill, was strenuous; in her time she has as sumed for the moment the character of more differing women than some ac tresses are called upon to present in a lifetime, and given a modicum of com mon sense and A nebulous notion of the fundamentals of human emotions, she would have been dull Indeed if she had not progressed and developed into a first rate actress. And that she Is; Omaha has paid $2 a seat with pleasure to see women no better qualified than Eva Lang, but who came here with the trumpet of fame sounding before them. nun lav sroRUWRf itjihi, Cook &-Lorenzo A BKOWSB OB BEAVTT MfULAnv Awn ttw It AT lATjin.

" Miss Lang's engagement at the Brandeis has been extended td last through the' present Veek,, she. to ,appeax..ll) . a, role that is just a little different from any she- has yet presented .-here.. While her forte has been arid ' is "light comedy, she has at times showed mucht capacity for the expression of deeper emotions, and this week she will have a part that will call for some ' really strong emotional work. In "The Spendthrift" she will play the part of a woman who nearly wrecks her life and that of others around her by her extravagance and her thoughtless indulgence! of expensive whims. It turns on her husband's request that they change their mode of living, and practice due economy till be can free himself from the load of debt she has piled up; she demurs and says she cannot defer the ball she has planned for the following) night, and finally produces $30,000 In cash, the exact sum he Is In immediate need of. He de mands to know the source of this sud denly acquired wealth, and she leads htm to think it tbe gift of an aunt. The aunt comes in, and aa the husband thanks her for the money, denies knowledge of It In the next act, the husband secures a confession from the wife that the money was loaned her by a wealthy man; the man is sent for and confirms the loan, saying he did it only on a chance. The husband forbears to shoot, but the wreck is complete. In the final act the wife is discovered expiating her mistake: it has been amply proven that she is guiltless of wrong, beyond her thoughtless ac ceptance of a loan that might be com promising. The rest Is easy. In the role of the wife Miss Lang will get scope for her fullest powers of expression. The play has been rehearsed by Mr. Wood ward, and will be shown first at the matinee this afternoon, running all week, with other matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. $ The appearance of Bertha Kalich at the Orpheumi this week will give Omaha its first chance to see this celebrated actress, who has, been called the greatest Jewish actress on the English-speaking stage. She has played many roles In America, and since she mastered the lan guage has won great distinction by her ability. It will be a cause of some regret that we do not get to sea her in a full length drama, but the sketch she pre sents Is recommended as one that gives a pplendid chance for her to show . her powers. Miss Bessie Barriscale Is one actress who believes that a player must actually feel a part in order to convey its true Import to an audience. Miss Barriscale, who plays the title role in "The Bird of Paradise," which begins an engagement at Boyd's theater tonight, has , had splendid- experience under such able tutors as James A. Heme, Louis James and Kathryn Kidder, . Miss Barriscale, as is not generally known, is scarcely out of her teens. She has advanced to practically stardom in a few weeks, what has taken others months .or years to ac complish.' ; This young actress gives promise of developing into one of our greatest emotional stars. An Important member of "The Uird of Paradise" company Is Guy Bates Post, who will be seen In the . role of "Ten Thousand Dollar Dean," a beachcomber. This hi Mr. Post's first visit to Omaha In about flvp years. His last appear ance here was In 'The-llelr to the Hoo rah." Elaborate pluns are being per fected by Oliver Morosco, the Los Angeles producer, under whose, manage ment Mr. Post Is now appearing, to star him In a new play next season. 3 Symbolism and psychology go hand in hand In the romance of Hawaii, which, in "The Bird of Paradise," Richard Wal ton Tully has woven out ot sunshine, the swish of the murmuring seas, the haunt ing melodies of the Ukalelo and the languor of the latitude where life Itself Is oiie happy, never ending dream. This play of Hawaiian life with its .wealth of beautiful scenery, a superb complement of players and brilliant and Btriklng stage effects begins tonight at the Boyd theater a four nights' engagement with a matinee on Wednesday. It comes to Omaha" bearing the endorsement of both New York and Chicago, It Is claimed that the author of the play Is an authority on life in "The Paradise of the Pacific." In making the story into play form Mr. Tully has not lost the "atmosphere" which so many producers do. The islands are shown In all their wealth of beauty ana even native musicians, singers and dancers ore used. The story, an absorbing one, faithfully portrays life in the tropics. Luana (Bessie Barriscale) Immediately after being informed by the Priest of Pele (Howard Hickman that she Is ot royal' blood, meets Paul Wilson (Lewis B. Stone), an American medical graduate, on his way to Molokal to search for the bacill of leprosy In the colony of death The pretty princess falls In love with the white man, to whom she makes Impetus ous love and wins an impulsive response. "Ten Thousand Dollar "Dean" (Guy Bates Post), a beachcomber, whu has seen bet ter days, warns the American of the dangers of his seductive environment, but all unheeded. "Diana Larned" (Margaret Lansham). Wilson's Intended, w!-o Is also one of the medical missionary paity from the states, undertakes the reformation of Dean and bids him rise from his lethargic life and "up, up to thfe light" The party of Americans proceeds upon Its way without Wilson, who has become Infatuated with his childish charmer, whom he finally marries, while Dean joins the little band of philanthropists. takes the young doctor's place and hlm- self undertakes to work among th lepers that his still undlmmed scientific education makes possible. From this on begins the gradual downfall of one man and the uplifting of th other. Wilson succumbs to the enslavement of the, sun shine and the climatic sensuousness and becomes a slave to languorous indulgence, while Dean, following Diana's bidding, goes forth to accomplish a great work. For two years Wilson Is happy with his chocolate-skinned bride, or until Dean returns with Diana. From then on he begins to tire of Luana, thinks only of what he would have been had he not ( Dear Header: As Cook A Lorene were accept able enough to' that dear Broad way to stick there two conseculve seasons in musical uooiedv It strikes me they ought to fit Into the general scheme of Omaha's en joyment this weeW K.
