NOHKOLK NKWS : Kill DAY , OlTuMKH 2 ( ? , 11)00 ) ,
DR. YOUNG , SUPERINTENDENT ,
BUYING FURNITURE.
TO OCCUPY IT NEXT MONDAY
Sixty-nine Patients Will be Moved
From Other Cottages Into the Newly
Rebuilt West Wing of the State Hos
pital Here.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
Dr. Young , Buporlntemlunt of the
Norfolk Insane hospital , was In Lin
coln all day yesterday looking over
furniture with the state board of pur
chase and supplies , preparatory to fur
nishing the new rebuilt \\cat wing of
the Institution.
The new wing will bo furnished next
Monday and will then bo filled with
patients , it had been feared that per
haps it might not bo furnished until
after the next session of the legisla
ture but the crowded condition of the
hospital here made it practically out
of the question not to ptovido some
means of utilizing the additional space.
The new wing holds sixty-nine pa
tients and there are plenty in the hos
pital here now , crowded together In
other cottages , to till it right at the
beginning.
HOW OMAHA TOOK WHITESIDE
Actor Who Pleased Norfolk Last Week ,
Made a Hit in Metropolis.
How Omaha received Walker White-
Bide is of Interest in Norfolk just now
because of the play of that actor here
last week. The following extraordi
nary tribute Is paid to the actor In
yesterday's World-Herald :
"Boys , " said the Heal Estate man ,
ns he pushed back his chair and re
garded his two companions critically ,
"this week 1mb been pretty fine doln's
tit Boyd's. Anyway , the first two
shows were good. You geniuses may
think a whole lot of Walker White-
eldo In his new piece , but I pass him
up like a snake. Me for Willie Collier
and "The Free Lance. " That's my
s\ic \ , so now get busy and jump on
me. "
The jumping was slow in coming ,
for both the Artist and the Actor were
busily engaged in delving into the hid
den mysteries of a lobster , which , as
everyone knows , demands deep and
conscientious study. Finally the Act
or mumbled over a huge chunk of
claw :
"Aw , shut up , will you. You're noth
ing but a big laugh and so that's all
you like. Whiteside made mo cry
and there weren't three dozen people
in the house. I call that acting
against such odds. "
"Huh ! That show was enough to
make anybody cry. I don't care a
whoop if there wasn't a blame soul in
the house" This remark from the
eccentric Real Estate man demanded
immediate attention , and as he con
tinued the other two dropped the
claws , feelers and other remains of
the lobster on their plates and cocked
an eager ear toward the vender of lots
and subdivisions.
"You call that a great show. You
call Whiteside a great actor. Well ,
he's a clever enough chap , but what
crazy ass wrote that thing he came
here in beats me. Look at the drivel
ing idiot Helmar , the leading charac
ter the part Whitesido played. A
little sawed-off fool who claimed he
didn't care for money a little bit all
he wanted was recognition and simi
lar hot air. He ought to get It. An
other thing about him that made me
sore the impudent way ho bawled
out Rawker , the only man in the whole
bloomin1 play that ever made any
money. That's the way with these
artiste and musicians. No respect for
fellows who have the brains to make
more money than they do. Just soft
soap along and pretend that their
hearts are in their fiddles. That don't
go with me. That kind of talk Is just
a four-flush to get some newspaper to
write up a big article on the 'eccen
tricity of the genius of Hans Do So-
and-So. ' I call it rot. Of course
Whitesido's all right but what's the
use with a blame fool play like that. "
"Of course the play wasn't very
strong In the first and third acts , " in
terposed the Actor , "but in the second
it was magnificent. Not so much In
the construction , but in the vivid cli
maxes. As for Whiteslde's work In
those climaxes it was certainly one
of the best evening's acting I ever saw
I wouldn't try to criticise the theme
the playwright Introduced to make
his play. H ho wishes to create strife
between the musician and the mon
eyed man that Is his privilege. I
don't pretend to know anything about
the tempeiamont of genius , and 1 don't
think you do , either , old Real Estater. "
The Aitlst joined in at this point
with a rush , carrying all before him.
"For once you are right , Actor. No
thing about genius not
one knows an >
oven the genius himself. Helmar , as
Whitesido played him , was a real go-
niuH , and was not aware of that qunl-
ity any more than a selfish man would
ioalis-0 that ho is not generous. No
one undci stands a musician of gen
uine temperament That is one rea
son why probably most people will not
understand the real force of 'Tho MagIc -
Ic Melody. ' Tills business man hero
sympathies with the Monarch of Mon
cy , Jordan Rawker , who has piled up
billions and practically rules the coun
try Ho cannot understand how a
weakling musician like Helmar can
feel himself more powerful , more use
ful greater than the successful man
of Wall street There is the trouble
with the play. It will appeal but tea
art and an art-
a few who appreciate
sis' struggles The greatness of the
Mini actor of llclnmr will bo hidden
imlor the musician's eccentric genius.

"Never mind about you. " snnpppil
he Real Instate man , "novor mind
You've toM us all that rot before ,
iboiit how money sickens > ou and how
MIII hate to mix up in commorclnllHin.
That hasn't anything to do with tills
day we'to discussing. I don't like the
hlng. that's my point I stand for
The Fioo I.-ince' and Willie Collier.
rhat'H my sl/o. Plenty of color and
mi and InterestVh. . \ . 'The Magic
Melody' was a regular graveyard com-
uired with those two plays Who
wants to hoar a cia/y fiddler moon
iway oxer his troubles ? Glvo mo Joe
Cnwthorn with his Gorman role and
Wllilo Collier with his solemn phi-/
I toll you the playhouse is Intended to
be a place of amusement , not a tear
factory. 1 don't want to cry when I
o to the theater. "
"That's right ! " excitedly broke In
the Aitlst , gesticulating with a lob-
stor's right bower. "That's right !
And you don't want to think , cither.
, iiy , you've been so hardened by your
business and jour struggle to get the
money you're spending now that you
think it's weak to acknowledge that
an actor is playing jour emotions.
Why , I saw the tears running down
the cheeks of poor people who had
scraped up the price to see 'The Mag
ic Melody , ' while > o" sat there and
laughed because Rawker turned Hoi-
mar down. You don't appreciate good
music , you don't appreciate the man
who makes It , so how can you hope to
appreciate the feelings of a man who
trios to tell of the wonderful tempera
ment of the artist. I agree with you
that Collier is a clc\cr comedian , and
Joe Caw thorn , too , but they are not
actors In the sense of Whiteside.
Just then the Actor exclaimed ,
"Why , heie comes that literary light
from 'Strife' Wonder what he thinks
of It. Come here and sit down. "
The Dramatic Critic sat , and said ,
after a somber pause :
"I never saw an > thing In my whole
o\entful life that struck me any hard
er than the bit of worn Mr. Whiteside
pulled off wnon ho dlscoverp that he
has been discarded by Rawker and
will not be allowed to play his violin
at tno bis concert. Like the snake
who swallowed himself , this actor who
was not satisfied with just -militarily
good acting. He cleaned up every
\estlge of artistic opportunity thdro
could be found lying around , and then
devoured himself In the role. I
couldn't suggest an improvement in
that passage to save my soul. Could
you , Edwin Booth ? "
"No ! " said the Actor , slamming
down an empty stein and ringing for
the waiter. "No ! I couldn't. They
talk of voices snow me the man who
has Whltesldo beaten at that game.
They talk of expression , in the face
and eyes. Trot out a better man than
my friend Walker. They talk of dra
matic carriage , of artistic bearing , of
the technique of the drama. I want
to bo shown this man's superior , at
least in that one passage. I don't
HKo to cry any better than tills Real
Estate Gorgon , but ho made me do
It. I love him for it. "
"Yes , " mused the Dramatic Critic ,
"he's great. He's as good in his line
as Collier or Cawthom in theirs. But
ho isn't owned by the theatrical trust ,
and he can't play in the big cities. So
no one knows him. Let's have another
lobster ? "

And that Norfolk woman brought
homo five dozen nice fresh eggs which
wore the joy of her household ami the
envy of her neighbors as long as they
lasted.
