Among recent notices is the following llattcrlng mention In the Now York Kpcordor of 11 pitted young lady who bus innnv friends In this city : "Another young vocalist of ability Is Miss Carrlo Muudo Ponnocit , who has recently conio lo Now Yoik from Omaha , Nob. , nna succeeded In charming her many audiences last winter. Miss I'unnock is a prnduato of tbo Nebraska stnto university , nnd her musical training previous to coming to Now York was received In Mllwnulioo and Chi- caeo under the best masters these cities afford. Shu Is gifted with a high t-oprano volco. In person she is of n dollcatc Dlond typo , tall and slender. Her volco IB dramatic In quality nnd she Is preparing for oono or nud oratorio. " The experiment of a season of summer opera tried at the Farnnm street theater lias not proven n brilliant success , nnd It may bo considered as fairly well settled that the conditions are nut rlpo in Omaha forsuoh an enterprise. Whll'j the woalhor was cool there was n reasonably good attendance ) and n llttlo money was made. The ilrst hot nights drove tbo people olsowboro , nnd the business of the Inst three weeks was hardly enough to Imivo uny profit. To complicate matters for the performers the putative owner of the enterprise wont cast nnd leu them to shift for themselves. In this emergency the principals agreed that the members of the chorus nhould Ilrst ro- colvo their salaries out of the company's sliaro of the receipts und they would tnlto their chances of a balance. It is hardly necessary to sixy that there has been no bal- unco , but by this hcrulo treatment the com pany has been kept together nud the prom ises to tbo public carried out. The company has tnndo a contract to play four weeUs at a summer theater being orectoa nt Uarflold Beach near Silt Lake , and if It proves successful tbo engagement may bo continued eight weeks longer. Tbo company will leave today for tbo west nnd will open nt the Bench on July 1. This week will bo put In lu rehearsing or In playing at Ogdou. People have so much to say about the his torically good old days of the claislo stock companies of London , JJrury Lane , Covent Garden , etc. , writes HosoCoghlan , but when wo como to look closolv into luoso times wo IInil that the work was hard and the pay was poor , nnd that if London got good acting It was because thcro was no acting ut nil outside - side of London , except in tbo sheerest , barn storming on the circuit bounded by Nor wich. York. Liverpool and Bath , a droarv nnd thankless round , on which a Ilamlot might earn T a weak nnd a King Claudius perhaps in shillings. The ambition of every deserving Thespian was to got Into n London company , and this competition uupt down salaries. Still salaries sufficient to support the porforncrs wore certainly paid ; the stngo of that period was n peed ono , nnd gave vise to n great deal of meritorious play-writing , some of which wo oven now-roproduro with moio or less satis faction to modern audiences , who , however , continually neo less and loss to ndiniro In "John Bull " the " " , "Hoir-al-Law" and the "Lovo Chase , " and compel managers to rop- rcsont "adaptations' " of the "School for Scandal" nnd tbo "Rivals" rather than the genuine text. Perhaps wo may say that wo hnvo the Ideal stage In tbo rare yet excellent stock companies now assembled in the Un ted States , BO few in number , and that our actual Bingo is inado up of man ) hundred companies who each season , by various Intricate com binations and series of dates , supply ever 2,000 opera houses and theaters nil ever the United States. * The American stage of today is opulent In axcollcut comedians , says William H. Crane In a recent magazine article. Hand in hand with the stock company tragedy ha * made Its farewell bow. Wo'nood relief from care ; wo do not covet the doubtful luxury of woo ; the old tragedies are almost too much worn ; they nro too familiar ; our actors do not con thorn , nnd do not covet parts that call for the dagger or the bowl ; and nobody writes now ones. Is iho assertion a bold one. Is it unsup ported , that DO American manager In this year 1893 would entertain or produce n man uscript tragedy , no matter who might be Its nuthorl it Is an assertion In which I thlntt 1 urn justified. Thus wo fall back on comedy , not "as n last resort , " but because It is the natural evolution of the ago and of our civilization. And our star system , which encourages the education nnd development of Individual talent far moro than iho stock company sys tem , since the rewards of excellence , and especially of very superior excellence , nro vastly greater , tends to produce and keep In constant activity n brilliant class of comla dramatic artists. Their routes are laid out for them , seats nro sold far In advance nnd tbo knowledge In December that the "take" for u given night , in Jnnunry nt some point tundrods of ratios away has boon many hundreds of dollars spurs on the nctor to live up to the reputation that thus runs before him unit paves his way with gold. This stimulus acts not only upon iho star , but upon his com pany. They nro n portion of his triumph , and they llnd themselves naturally doing all in tholr power lo give him tbo best possible support. t Our loading comedians nro In constant touch with our nlnywritora , and they teach the latter what lines of dramatic incident to take and what to avoid. They nrrlvo by tin- inlstakablo conclusions at the consensus of American opinion , and among the ilrst lus- son * Is tills , that American families do not hanker after the upollod drama of Franco. < ll ) ll Of till !

And they nllsorvejtho same purpose of tholr being In advertising hor. The Into French composer , Ernst Quirnud , bad a novel nnd offoctlvo way of prolonging bis life.

Al though the play will give n correct represen tation of the brilliant out corrupt court nt Versailles , the plot is purely Imaginative. A movement has bean started in Philadel phia to arrange for atostiinotilal performance In uonor of Mmo.

Is an nccomplisbad musi cian nnd is said to bo greatly troubled by the condition In which be tlnds tbo music of the church. Ho aspires to walk hi the footsteps of tno great St. Gregory , and has recently addressed a circular letter to the prominent composers of Europe and America , request ing their co-oporatlon in bis effort to bring about n reform in the domain of sacred music. This is n task that has taxed Iho irreatost minds of the chuvch in nil nges. Tan pope complains that the music of tbo church is "too mundane and theatrical. " Tbo sconlo artists of Now York have formed nn association for solf-protoctlon. Ono of the chief grievances of the scenic painters who work by the "job , " ns the best of thorn now do , Is the fnot that their scones are sot , not ns they direct , but as the stage manager of the theater orders. Tbo painters insist that some of the best of tholr artistic effects are spoiled by tbo failure of tbo staeo. manager to properly display thorn , nnd war upon this tyrant Is to bo begun at once. The plan is for the artists belonging to the asso ciation lo accept no work from a theater ex cept on n distinct ncreouiont that tholr scones , when completed , shall bo but as they shall dictate. The Daly company will present "As You Llko It" in the open nlr nt Senator Farwoll's suburban residence , near Chicago , uoxt Thursday afternoon , for the bonolit of a child's homo. Six hundred tickets nro offered at $5 each. The stage will bo on the lawn. Thcro will bo no curtain , and a chorus will announce the commencement of each act. The proscenium will bo formed bv natural trees , und on the stasro Hsclf an arrangement of evergreens , maples , oaks nnd fits will rep- rosonttho forest of Ardon. In the distance , tbo waters of the lakes will glisten through Iho trees , and on tbo stngo mossy banks will break the level of tbo lawn and afford n rest ing plnco for weary Hosnllnd. The orchestra will bo hidden behind a screen of saplings , and in the arrangement there will bo noth ing to remind ouo of a theater. A remarkable scene occurred at St. James hall In London on tbo occasion of Pador- owsln's only rocltal in London during the present season. At the close of the pro gram Paderowskl returned to the platform llvo times and bowed his thanks to his en thusiastic uudlcnca. The applause contin ued und llnnlly Paderewski's , manager an nounced t'Jut the pianist was too fatigued to play again. This failed to appease these present , nnd repeated calls were made for Padorowskt who had withdrawn. Ho reap peared , wuoroupon the wnll dressed mob in vaded the platform , bogclng him to play again. Hoachlng Mis sent with difficulty , Pudcrowstfl performed Chopin's "Barca rolle , " and then , at the request ol n young lauy who was loaning over his shoulder , ho played ono of Chopin's valsos. The encoring broke out ugain , and there was n struggle to secure n handshake from the artist. Infatu ated ladle * plucked Iho ( lowers from their dresses oud handed thorn to Puuorowsld ever the heads of these nearer to him. i'lnally ho escaped to the artist's room In an exhausted condt'.ion.
