COHON'S COMPOSERS RECITALS I'uMlo Kutcrlnliiinent to Ho Olrcn by Hans Albert and IIU Pupil * till * Week The Ladles' Mimlcule Dolngn of tlio Muxlcluns for the Week. One of the most enjoyable recitals of the season was that given by the Philomela ladles' quartette at Ford k Charlton's music hall last Wednesday evening under the aus pices of the Ladles Musical society. The members of the quartette sang with moro than their usual spirit , and their rendition of the three numbers In which they appeared quite captured the audience. Thoir- flrst number , "The Chimes , " by F. O. Maoy , was perhaps the most pleas ing of tlio entire program , Tlio four voices blended perfectly , and the last note was the signal for an enthusiastic- encore , to which they responded with "Dandelions , " by Phillip. Miss Clarkson appeared in two solo numbers , and her intelligent rendition of Uossmi's "Convion Partir" received a hearty encoro. Her second selection was in two parts , "Clara's SOUK" and "I Feel Thy Per fume Wafted , " by Uubensteln. Miss Anna Bishop snng two selections and responded to ns many encores. Her rendition of an Arabian love song by Do Kovcn was es pecially pleasing. * The winter term of the University of Omaha at Bcllovuo opened with an in creased Interest r.mt a number of now'pupils in the musical department. The work of the pupils during the previous term was very llattoring and the school is developing some excellent taler.t. CTho next recital of the Ladies Musical society will bo glveji early in February and will consist of a piano recital by Miss Itabln- BOH of Council Bluffs nnd soprano solos by Miss Myrtle Coon of this city. * Sir Arthur Sullivan expresses himself as highly pleased with the reception accorded "Haddon Hull" and the continued success It enjoys. On the opening night his old col- laboratour , Mr. Gilbert , sat in the orchestra stalls and gave tlio most hearty approval to the last effort of this noted English i-oni- iwsor. It Is Sir Arthur's desire to Join hands with Mr. Gilbert and produce another opera should his health permit. * Tlio first concert given by Sousa's now Marine band In Now York was very highly spoken of by tlio local press , Including the musical publications , and Is considered nil undoubted success. The organization will plvon three days festival In Omaha tills spring unless the arrangements now under way uro unsuccessful , nnd the festival will undoubtedly prove to bo tlio musical event of Jho season. A number of local'muslctans will go to Council Bluffs tomorrow evening , where they will give a concert at the First Presbyterian church for the bonellt of the- Young Men's Christian association of that city. Among those who will participate are tlio Holneeko ladles ouartot and Messrs. Hurt Butler , Copolund , Trainer , Sinims and Marshall.

" quartet Vent to Lincoln Fri day evening , where they sang at it concert pivou by one of the societies of the Wes- loyun university.

A musical program will bo rendered during the evening , which will bo followed by supper and dancing. The regular rehearsal last week was hold at Ford & Charlton's musie hall , and during the Intermission a palatable supper was served by the proprietors.

Tlio ilrst concert will bo given at Buffalo , and from there the society will proceed westward. They will also give n series of concerts on the World's fair grounds nt Chicago. * * Few church choirs In the city can compare with that of St. John's Collegiate- church ( Croighton college ) , and scarcely a Sunday morning passes by but witnesses an Intelli gent and highly creditable translation of the superior masses" " and difllcult Cathollo music by that well-trained chorus of twenty-live voices. A program of considerably moro than the usual elaboration has been pre pared for a sacred concert to bo given at St. John's churon this Sunday evening , January 2'J , at 8 o'clock.

" * * * For some time Mrs. Cotton has contem plated giving a series of composers' recitals us a means of cultivating the musical tasted of the local public and giving them an opjior- tuulty to become very familiar with the works of the greatest composers. The first recital of the series will bo given at Ford & Charlton's mnslo hall Monday evening , and the numerous applications for tickets that hu\o been already received Indicate that the public is taking an unprecedented interest in the event. The compositions of Kubcnstcin will furnish the material for the program and it had been expected that Miss E.

Patti's ' Household Sing in Opera. NEW YORK'S NOVEL MIDNIGHT THEATER Sirs , Lnngtry's Put on tlio Stngo l y Iabou- chore oT London Truth Lllllnii Ilus- scll llus a ICIval Coming At tractions Notes. On the eve of her continental tour Mmo. Ailclina Patti gave a great feast of roast bcof , plum pudding and sweetmeats to 2,000 children belonging to the parish of Ystrad"- gynlais in Swansea village. In dispensing these .hospitalities the diva was assisted by Sig. Nicolliii and a party of friends from the castle at Craig-y-Nos. A few days previously Mme. Pattl had given a 5-shilling picco to each of the ISO paupers in the same parish. These two exhibitions of good nature within a week cost the diva ? lGOO , so It may bo seen that If Mmo. Pattl earns her money easily she spends it liberally. Mme. Pattl is now at the end of her long holiday in Wales. She has remained at Craig-y-Nos since the ter mination of her engagement at the jublleo in Madison Square Garden last spring , writes a correspondent of the Now York Sun. She intended to give some London concerts last month under contract with Sig. Lago , but the sudden bankruptcy of that impresario interfered with the plan , and Mmo. Pattl , thus thrown out of an engagement , was con tent to remain longer than usual at her castle tlo In Wales. When she is at homo the diva always insists on having the castle full of guests. Carriages are continually going to and from the railroad station carrying visitors. After a sumptu ous dinner , prepared by a famous Parisian chef , the business of the evening is begun by a general exodus from the castle to the theater. This playhouse , although small , is complete in every clement. It possesses a regular orchestra at , trained musicians , a leader of reputation scpuery for an entire repertoire of pieces , olcjctrio lighting , nppll- cnncos for thunder , Hght'ri Ing , wind and rain storms. " ' "Mmo. Patti , " ono of Xuo guests said not long ago , "this thing nlust cost a fortune to maintain for six mqnths in the year. " "Well , " returned the w'a. amiably , I earn my Income in music , and , ! like to spend it in ' music. Ihavo neither'children , . nor debts , and it pleases mo to sppn.d ray money in my own way. My little opera house costs mo about 10,000 a year , lint it gives a great deal of pleasure to mo and my friends , and , after all , there is no use in having money ' ' unless you enjoy it. " , When the curtain ROCS Up the guests are amazed to see that the iliiblo but obdurate father , at whoso .f ot the famous diva entreats forgiveness or mercy , is no other than /.tho butler , who has served them at dinner. By a slmihir metamorphosis the chambermaids are con verted into haughty ladles , who spurn the lowly condition of tholr mistress. Nleollnl's valet , who , in his ordinary capacity Is a model of deference and propriety , no sooner gets * on the stage than ho Is trans formed into a villain who cuts throats for pastime. The principal coachman is a low comedian , the footmen wear tlio costumes and manners of courtiers very com- raondably. the scullion is a clown , ono of the housemaids Is a clover soubretto. while another , like Cinderella , loaves the kitchen to become the wife of a prince. Mmo. Pattl , it would seem , engages her servants not so much on account of their domestic abilities as for their talent in sing. ing and in acting. IJenco the guests are often astonished to hear the coachman singing "Largo at factotum delia cita , " as ho drives them from the depot ; or amazed to overhear a very tolerable rendering of "M'Apparl1 fruni the stable whllo ono oftho hostlers U currying his animals ; or petrified by hearing the chambermaids rendering the "Como Vinti" chorus from "Lucia" while arranging the rooms. If Patti wore not as marvelous a mistress as she is a cantatrlco , this system of doing domostio service by musical notation would destroy all discipline at Craig-y-Nos. But the diva pays enormous wages , treats her servants as companions , and teaches them to bo a faithful to duty as she Is herself. Her entire household is employed in the frequent operatic performances , most of the ser vants in the chorus , but several In the principal roles. Nicollnl is tlio only person at Craig-y-Nos who will not bo compelled to go on the stage. But no matter how tired ho may bo after a day's fishing the diva's husband never shrinks his duty as callboy , gas man and stage manager. Mr. and Mrs. Langtry had used up their small fortune by extravagant living and were on the vcrgo of actual want , when there un expectedly caino a sudden turn. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Labouchero wore at breakfast ono morning. "My dear , " said the Journalist's wife sud denly , "can't you do something for Mrs. Langtry ? " "For Mrs. Langtry I" ejaculated Labby. "What can I do for her ? Sue has done for herself most effectually. " 'Never mind that , " returned the lady. "Everybody makes mistakes , and that poor woman has paid a terrible price for hers. Do something for her , " "But what can I do ? " "Glvo her some writing. " "Fudge ! " growled the editor , "that's non sense. But I'll put her on the stage. She is a stunningly beautiful creature and dresses well. This scandal piques the public curP oslty. Of course she can't act. But people will pay to see her. I'll stop in at Bancroft's this morning. " Tlio editor of Truth was as good as his word. Ho dilated to Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft on the rjnancial advantages of putting tlio late favorite of royalty on the stago. At ilrst dubious , the manager llnally became enthu siastic of tlio scheme , and before the inter view was ended Mr. Bancroft had written a contract offering Mrs. Langtry 880 a week. It was eagerly , desperately accepted. Mr. Bancroft selected "Ours" for her debut , and Mrs. Langtry studied hard over the character of Blanche Hayes. Mr , ICyrlo Bellow was engaged for tlio part of the hero , and the supporting company was carefully selected. London was lit excitement over the matter. On the night of tlio performance tlio prince of Wales and his Marlborough house coterie filled the boxes of the Haymarkot theater. Tlio stalls held almost all the fashionable people of London. She was very crude in art , but hur earnestness , natural refinement of manner and wonderful beauty engaged the sympathy of the audience. She received cordial ap plause , and tlio question of her future career was settled. Lily Langtry was the Ilrst woman who went from the drawing room to the stage , and she has earned more fume and money than any of her followers. * * When Lillian Uussoll returned to Now York from her Western trip she was startled by the change of sentiment that had crept over the theater-going public in regard to her own fair and outspoken self. After chewing the cud of reflection she must have come to the conclusion that the theater-going public is very liicklo , because there has been an en tire absence of anything approach ing enthusiasm in the greeting extended to her after so long an exile from the town that loved her best. The audiences at the Gar den theater , where she Is singing the prin cipal role ln"La Cigalo , " have been Just as largo as thuy over were , but the fair Lillian has not , by any means , received the homage that formerly made her entrance upon tlio stage a veritable pathway of roses. Marie Tempest , who makes a very piquant and tunefnl boy in Mr. do Kovcn's opera , "Tho Fencing Master , " at the Casino , seems to have usurped a good deal of the public at tention which formerly concentrated on Miss Kusscll. Miss Tempest can't sing anywhere near as well as Miss Kussell , but she is a much hotter actress and is much less exact ing. The tendency of tlio tnno may eventu ally result in proving that Miss Uussoll is not a very good prophet. When she loft the Casino two years ago stio remarked that she would never have it successor. It looks now , however , as though Miss Tempest was to become - come as much talked about and popular us Miss Lillian Russell was in her palmiest days. IllE TIIUATEKS. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next Hoyt's bright farce comedy , "A Hole in the Ground , " will occupy the stage of Boyd's theater. Hoyt is a well known figure in dramatic circles , "and has been styled by some as the Shakespeare of farce comedy. His nlays , whllo not perhaps of extreme literary merit , are of a kind that retain the interest and have brought their author an iminon.se pecuniary success. Of the play only the best can bo said , but the company must bo Judged by Its appearance. "Tlio Hole In the Ground" is a travesty on rail roads and drummers , and in a humorous manner presents laughable scenes , typical of railroad stations , and humorous incidents common to the experience of travelers. The foundation is a happy ono , for It affords a slight pretense of'a plot and much comedy elaboration. It offers a splendid excuse for musical and specialty interruptions , a pleasIng - Ing feature of farce comedy. The specialty features , which are the essence of any farce comedy , are promised to have been much en hanced for this season. In addition to sev eral oldtlmo favorites , the cast will present a number of now names , diaries Owlcs , the Yankee coined in , well remembered from his appearance with McICco Uankin in "Tho Canuck"nvill bo seen In the role of the Stranger. Frank Lawton , the whistling comedian , will appear in an impersonation of the station agent. Barry Maxwell will play the part of the tramp so successfully assumed by him last season. A now face will bo seen in .the role of the lunch counter girl in the person of Miss Virginia Earlo. Miss Earlo is a soubrette , whoso education in the profession was obtained with high- class organizations. She is a vocalist of ac knowledged talent , and her interpretation of the character is said to bo alike original and pleasing. Miss Marguerite May will play the telegraph girl. Miss May is a charming actress , whoso dancing specialty Is said to bo remarkably clover. An entirely now complement of scenery will bo used in the presentation of tlio skit. Florence Bindloy's beautiful comody- drama "Tho Pay Train , " which will bo pro duced at < the Faruam Street theater all week , commencing with today's matinee , January S3 , is thus described : Twelve years previous to the opening of tlio story , Charles Burton , through circumstantial evidence , is convicted and sentenced for a forgery com mitted by a fellow clerk named Jack Breot. On the night Burton is being taken prisoner , ho csbapes , leaving ills wife and child to tlio care of his widowed father-in-law , Ucubon Cole , a well-to-do farmer. Mrs. Burton dies of n broken heart , but tlio child , Bcsslo , is adopted by Cole and brought up In ignorance of her true parentage. Brcot learns the whereabouts of tlio escaped convict , ami , with threats of exposure from time to time , de mands hush money from Cole , which ho pays In order to keep tlio truth from Bcsslo. Act ilrst opens at tlio Cole homestead. Bessie lias grown to bo a bright , rollicking girl of 15 , tlio lifo of the neighborhood. Frank Halo , a tramp , stops at the farm house and asks Bcsslo for something to eat. Brcot , who is on a blackmailing visit to Cole , recog nizes in Hale a former tool , and forces him to leave the place , which ho does swearing vengeance. Breut compels the farmer to sell his crops to an accomplice that ho may secure nionoy. Bcsslo overhears tlio story of her mother's death and her father's disgrace , and as Breot is about to leave with the money forced from Cole , stops him , and at the muzzle of a gun makes him return it. In act second Bessie appears disguised as iv boy , with a message for her father , who. under the name of Barnes , U foreman of the Berkley mines , The minors , who are on a strike , believe her to bo a spy , sent by the company , and threaten violence , but she is protected by Jeremiah Judge , the sheriff. Jack Breut appears upon the scene with a note of Colo's for $ ' ) , < XJO , and demands pay ment. Not having the moans , Barnes tele graphs the directors of the mines for several shares of stock , which ho agrees to transfer to Breet , but during the interval Hosslo se cures the note and burns It , exclaiming : "A $3,000 blaze and no' Insurance ! " Brcet attempts to shoot Bcsslo , but Is prevented - vented by Frank Hale , who happens on the scene. Act third takes place on pay day at the mluea. Bcsslo and hur father are re united through a locket containing a picture of her mother. Jack Breut , being out of funds , determines to rob the pay station , which ho attempts , but Is frustrated by Bessie , wiio , to secure his capture , heroically uncouples the car in which ho has taken refuge from the pay train whllo at full speed. In the fourth act Frank Halo , who has reformed , turns out to bo the real owner of the extensive Berkley mines , and through his testimony proves Burton's Innocence to the forgery committed twelve years pro- vious. Jack Breet is convicted and sen tenced for tlio attempted robbery of tlio pay station , but escapes and is pursued by the miners. Ho attempts to reach the mine by an incline used to hoist the cars , but as ho is about to reach the entrance a defective boiler bursts , the cable breaks and ho is killed in the fall. Frank Halo makes Bcsslo an offer of marriage , it is accepted , and all thus ends a most beautiful story dramatically told. For the three nights following ? "A Hole la the Ground" Boyd's theater will bo daric , and then for thrco nights , commencing Sun day , the tlUth inst. , come Frohman's comed ians presenting "Gloriana , " which is 01 o of the great comedy successes of the year. OB Friday and Saturday , January : ! and 4 , the Pauline Hall opera company will IKJ ut Boyd's. Friday Highland Saturday matinw "Erminio" will bo the bill , nnd on Saturday evening "Ptiritnnia. " In the company are Mjss Eva Davenport , Miss Irene Verona , Miss Helen Dinibarand Pauline Hall. Among tlio male members of the company are Mr. Frank David , Mr. Jacques Krugcr and Mr. John Brand. For four nights following the Pauline Hall opera company Evans & llaloy In "A Parlor Match" will bo the attraction. Ono of tlio most welcome attractions that will come to Boyd's theater tins season is Charles Frohman's comedians in James Mor timer's noted three-act English farce , "Glor iana , " which will bo soon hero on Sunday , Monday and Tuesday next. The story haste to do with Leopold Fitz-Jocolyn , an attache of the British foreign ofilco , who Is about to marry the pretty daughter of i > retired tan ner df Birmingham. Whllo ills llancco and her father are visiting him in London , thcru comes to him Mrs. Gloriana Levering , it most fascinating widow , with whom ho had had a rather heavy lllrtation thrco months before at Brighton , and has not yet been able to draw Cupid's arrow from hur heart. To become rid of her , Leopold determines to disgust her by changing vestments with his valet , and making her believe lie had de ceived her previously as to his real estate. But she doesn't disgust for a sixpence and engages him for the servant of Caunt Evitoff , whom she Is to marry. Upon tills pretty foundation is built a framework of complica tions , mistaken identities nnd tlio like , which are of a most amusing character. This ( Sunday ) evening the closing per formance of "A Nutmeg Match" will bo given at the Boyd by Miss Annie Iwowit ) , supported by LIU & D.tvis' superb comp.iny. Miss Lewis has won it great many admirers hern during her present Omaha engagement , and us "Cinders" lias proven herself a most at tractive soubrutto. The cad will always outfashlon the ex treme fashions. The swell will obsarvo the mode In all Its niceties and correctness , Im parting from time to time those deft touches of Individualism that award to him premier ship. The well dressed man will moderate tlio swell's Ideal a tritlu , so as to allay nil suspicion in his own mind that ho Is exciti ng the undue scrutiny of his fellows. fEMMjS
