Miss Enio Ellslor Is Mrs. Frank Weston In
private ) life , and It Is lier huibund who plays
the delicious i'lttacus Oroon in "Hozol
Klrkc. " Mr. Weston began bis tboatncnl
cnroor In Omaha In the IOBR ago. From 1803
to 1870 ho was the property man at tbo
Academy of Muslo OH Douglas street , which
1ms latterly been known us the I'eoplo's thc-
ntor. lu those day the line * of n man's duty
Were not very strongly drawn , and ho often
octod as ciiptmn of supos , shifter of scenes
nnd slngo carpenter , nnd oven tooK un occa-
alonal turn nt soiling tickets , 'i'no old iho-
ntor would hold about 1,000 paoplo , and It
wan tlb uuusunl thing even In thosj early
dayd to play attractions to $7011 and $300
house * .
'Mr. Woiton wont from Omaha to St. Louis ,
on a bognn nctlnpr nt the Olymplo thcator In
that , clty during 1871. It was In St. Louis
that ha mot Miss Ellslor , and they bavo been
Impplly married for ulovon years. Mr.
Western moots friends of the Ellslor fnmlly
lii all parts of the Country , but ho draws tlio
line at thu man wliDsnys Iio was nscboolmuto

/Tbo most fotchlnp thing In "Indltto" Is the
rehearsal of tbo orchestra bv Uhnrlcs A. Big-
clew , the clever commudlan. It was Intro
duced Into the performance by direction of
Mr. Carluton , and the elastlcityof comic
onera permits tbolntorpolalton of tills taking
bit of ' 'business" without burious fracture of
the consistencies. Mr. Blgolow's plcca of
mimicry U not new , but It l& old cnoupli to
Rtrike modern nudlcncos wltli all the fresh-
niiss of novelty.
This amusing orchestra rehearsal was done
thirty years ago in Germany lu the produc
tion of a oiio-aut opnrettn on titled "JL'ho
Bandmaster from Vonlco. " Tno singer ImItated -
Itatod tbo instruments Just as Mr. Blgolow
does , and uven used the xuma time , w'llch ' ,
by tne way. was whistled mid bummed allover
ever DculHchlnud. In the original produc
tion tbo singer pretended to bo disploasoii
with the playing of thu kettle drum , nnd ho
topped down Into the orclicstra to coucb the
player.
Mr. Ulcolow , It will bo remembered , ust-d
Uormnii In addressing tbo orchestra , and he
did it 111(0 ono to the language born. That
diverting Interpolation will nrobnuly linger
in the memory of tbo arorngo auditor longer
than unv other novelty in "indigo. "

Sarah llornhnrdt's goniui is boy on d the
peed of petty realism , and she horsulf has
written against its use , nnd yet in tlio pro
duction of "La Toscn" she twlco resorts to
rod paint to represent blood. In neither case
Is It really needed , but then Mine. Bornbardt
Is a law unto herself. This is wbut auu has
ala about realism :
. "O no , nnd again no. Wo want no real
ism. What good Is It. The itago will ever
bo tbo homo of liction , the orison will ever
bo a thing of wood ana canvas , the edge of
the knife will never plorco the victim's
breast , the blood which Hews from the
Tiounu will still bo tinted water. No
roulitm I say. Hathor let us bo tbo expon
ents of dreams. "

tbo direction of M. Colonuo she rendered1
artistically and satisfactorily n selection by
Wider with 'collo obligate , the composer
playing the accompaniment , while tbo obiiga-
tnvas sustained by M. Delsarto of the Con-
siSrvatory. This tuloutoa young artiste Is a
daughter of Judge W. C. James ot Council

A very pretty and pleading oullphonal sor-

Among the numbortof Omuha musicians
who huvo filled prominent positions in other

Gradually the local musical colony Is wid
ening , nnd urtists of moro than local promi
nence are being attracted to Omuha as ono of
the growing musical centers of the country.
The latest artiste of note to make her entry
Into the musical life of the metropolis Is Miss
Cora Tennant Clary , who comes with the
bast of ondoMomonts from Max Marotzok ,
her teacher for years , M. Do Real p. the
Spanish voice builder , Mr. J. B. Pond , Mr.
Gustavo Frobman , Mrs. Frank Leslie , M.
le La Crolx , Mr. Will J. Davis of the Grand
opera bouse , Cbicago.and encomiums Innum
erable irom tbo ablest of our musical critics.
MUs Tennant Clary , who by the way , is a
cousin of Mrs , Henry M. Stanley , has ideas
of her own upon most subjects and among
other things believes In cboap music for the
people. She bollovos , nnd rightly too ,
that there are hundreds of people
who cannot 'afford to hoar Thomas ,
who thoroughly enjoy good music , nnd
will hear U It If It coinos within their moans.
It Is Miss Clary's Intention to glvo two pop
ular concerts after Easter , nt which the nest
muslral talent of tho'clty will appear In con
junction with betselt , and tiuiso concerts
will bo walened with Interest. There is no
reason why they should not bo eminently
successful. MUs Clarv has had the most
pronounced success in ICnusas City , having
gUon two scries there , and she doslros to add
Omaha to her list , Max Marotzok in spoalt-
ing of hoi- says , aud bow many great artistes
would bo enraptured with the same tribute
frsm such a source : " 1 bavo nlways eulo
gized her for her good and powerful volco
and encouraged her to raaka tho' concert
room , the cburoh choir and oratorios her
specialties. " MUs Claryvho seems to bo a
business woman , as well as line artiste , will
begin thu work of canvassing for subscrib
ers to her two recitals ut once.

Tonight at Boyd's Now theater Cora Tan
ner will make her bow , A feeling of plaasura
always accompanies the announcement of
this young actresi' coming , for there is great
satisfaction in observing tbo progress of ono
In Ilia histrlonlo firmament who has arrived
at tbo ( rout through dlllgonco and honorable
ambition from the most buuiblo poiltton behind -
hind the footlights. Among tUa very few
now bo r ore the public , who hold the position
by virtue of a deserving career , there Is not
ono who ha ) a bettor claim than Cora
Tunnor , who began at the bottom
round of the drauiullo ladder In
the stock company ot a Chicago
theater , unc } by ctoia application and intelli
gent use pf glfU which nature bounteously
bestowed on her , forced her wav through tbo
various grades of the art to a position which
none can dispute , lu the superlative bcnse
of the term theatric she Is a "star , " for she
Is au aotross of unquestionably power and
magnetism , and what Is moro she possesses
beauty of faca and figure that of Itself has
given her renown , in addition to the general
desire to see the favorite actress OQCO more ,
the public will bo interested in the produc
tion of the now play which she U to present
for tbo first time hero , and la which she is
said to have achieved her greatest success.
"Will She JDlvorco Him I" is a suggestive
title of the play , which was'written fur Miss
Tanuor bv thu clover playwright , Clinton
Stuurt , Us trial performance took place at
the Park theater Brooklyn , tlbo close of Iwt
season , aud BO pos'itivo was the success that
MUs Ttuiuer then snd there decided to rest
tbo chances ot ber starring tour this season
entirely on this ono piny. The scones are
laid nt Now iork and Newport. It is a
pathotio story of the present , day with a
sprinkling of high class comedy. The situa
tions ore strong , and , all In all , the piny Is
said to bo a satisfactory example of the typo
demanded by theatrical audiences of the
period. The company supporting MUs
Tanner is n well balanced ono. Howard Rus
sell , O. H. Barr , Henry Simon , Uovory Tur
ner. J. H. Hutchlnson , S. 1C. Chostor.Uharlos
Dlohl , Ada IJwyor , Mrs. Annto Chostor.Mrs.
Helen Blake being among the principals.
AtthoFiirnam Street theater , beginning
with thomatlnootodny.Mr. Joseph H.Wnlllck
will present his favorite sensational melo
drama , "Tho Bandit King. " It Is a border
drama of pronounced typo , but It is one of
the bast plays of Its kind every presented.
Mr. Wnlllck of course plays the tltlo role nnd
assumes three different character. * with
great succoss. Physically bo Is un Ideal
frontiersman and his portrayal U vigorous
and wall sustained. Incidental to tha play
Mr. WaUlck's ' wonderful acting borso ,
Raider , Charger , Texas nnd Polo , are Intro
duced , nnd nro certainly tlio moitaagactotrt
animals on the boards today. The Uowio-
knlfo duel on horseback In thu fourth act is
very realistic und almost brings tbo audience
to their feet.
On Tuusdav evening Mr. Walllck will
ch.ingo the bill and produce the equestrian
drama , "Tho Cattle King , "
"Tho Cattle King" is the style of play that
pleases all classes. The Interest commences
us soon as tlio curtain goes up , and from that
tlmo on It never ceases. It is of the sensa
tional order , but us a rule the dlalnizuo Is fur
above the average of plays of its i-las In- lit
erary quality. It Is cleverly constructed
nnd presents n number of stirring situ
ations and climaxes. It l.t well acted ,
the cast being unusually strung in the
novernl parts nnd there isn't n word In it to
bring the blush tn the chock. Virtue suffers
in the second net but triumphs In the fifth ,
while villtany which Is successful In the
beginning moots with Ignominy and retribu
tion lu the last. Mr. Wulllck , us Bob 'laylor ,
has u part well suited to his style of acting
nnd never falls to bring rotinds of applause
from the audienco.
Tno wonderful notlnir horses-Raldor ,
Charger , Texas nnd Pete are uncquidud as
equine actors uud perform wundcrful tricks
during the progress of the play. The now
scenery is haniisomo nnd tne mocUanlqal
elfocts nro novel und lueonlous.
On Thursday , Friday , Saturday nnd Sun
day next Dan man Thompson nnd George W.
Ryor's play , "Tho Two Sisteri , " will bo the
attraction at Boyd's Now theater. The play
Is ono of strong human interest und Is brim
ful of engrossing Incidents nnd Interesting
situations. The company is a very competent
ono und includes Ad. Kynmu and Jumcs A.
Muhouoy. Tbo picca is laid in JNow York
city und gives a very comprehensive iusight
into the many phases ot metropolitan lifo.
The following is n brief synopsis of "Tho
Two Sisters. " Mury and Martha Howard ,
two country girls , drift to l ow York city In
search of work. Martha , the eldest , Is a
llirt Just the opposite of nor modcst.ststor.
Wending their way toward their destination ,
chance sands ever the sumo pathway u
thoughtless young villain known as-"Hand-
some Hnrryj" whoso attentions are , Of ; sueh
un Impudent character that tlio girls seek
shelter In an unpretentious hotel that lies
nearly opposite the homo of their pursuer.
In this hotel lives our here , Hiram Pepper ,
"Just homo again" from Montana , where ho
has boon for twenty jours fortune hunting.
Ho sees the cirls when they enter tbo hotel ;
sees Harry Horton as bo follows thorn ; takes
in the situation at a glance , and tries to sep
arata tno unwholesome fascination that 1ms
tukon bold of them ; but hot blood is rebel
lious , and , Instead of cooling , it fanned Itself
iuto u flame. It started as a fancy , grow tea
a resistless passion , which fed on promises
and ended in shiuno. Tbo big
heart of Hiram Popper was
touched by the innocent face " 6f Mary
Howard , and his life was heavy with love for
Ibis pure young girl ; ho , however , bore bis
burden alone silently , faithfully , But
Cupid nipped up his heels ono summer's
niL'hl , when ho blundered Into tolling her of
his life , when ho found a mate 'honest , pure
and sincere. Martha's pilgrimage to Mftrv Is
full of pathos. Shu went 'that blio might
soeit forgiveness and go to "rest peacefully.
She did not meet uncry faces and clenched
nands driving ber back in tbo darkness. She
found fuithlul , watching her.rts wailing for
her. Harry's father hoard of his son's
treachery to this simple girl and turned from
him , unti } the quick poison of rotrlbutipn
bunded him back to the earth ho had frowned
upon.
