IX LOCAL MtfttlV.lL VlltUl.KS.
The Western Opera company closed a sea
son of grand opera last night at Bojd's with
the production of ,3Iascaqui's masterpiece ,
"Cavallerla RustlOana , " nn act from "Rlgo-
letto" and im assiiul d'armes by the young
ladles of the operatic school.
Viewed In a calmly critical light the per
formances In the1 main were not up to the
standard expected from the principals and
chorus constituting' this hastily formed
operatic aggregation ? , yet the season was
much more highly successful artistically than
the Inaugural season n year agb , although
financially the week was not n success.
While -organization failed In its ensemble
nt times nnd very often the principals floun
dered badly , showing1 hut faint appreciation
of the requirements of the various roles , It
would be nn nIToctlon ott the part of those
who nppreclatc mimic ; to say that they did
not enjoy the performances given. But while
borne of the operas were rendered with a
mediocrity that was surprising , there were
others that could hardly bo Improved upon ,
notably , "Lucia" nnd "Ernanl , " while
"Faust" was a success d'estlme.
The pilnclpals , as n rule , were thoroughly
capable , nnd had three operas been given
Instead of six the season would have been
greatly enhanced , both from a monetary as
well as an artistic standpoint.
One thing was demonstrated which , If ap
preciated , should Omaha have another sea
son of grand opera , cannot help but be far-
reaching , and that is , music lovers of the
metropolis will bupport good opera. While
there were mistakes in tlio management of
the enterprise Miss Clary deserves consider
able praise for having inaugurated n festival
season In this city. But for the future there
should be no attempt made to secure n guar
antee. People will purchase season tickets
to any recognized and worthy com
pany coming with the endorsement
of Manager Wolfsohn , who has
during the present tour been greatly Im
pressed with the possibilities of establishing
a circuit of webtern cities that are too
small to support a world-famous organba-
tlon llko that of Abbey nnd Gran , but suffi
ciently largo to support liberally a company
of artists surrounded by a capable chorus
and enhanced by a fair-sized orchestra under
the directorship of some ono of the well
known leaders on this side of the water.
The successes of the week were made by
Mmo. Natall as Lucia , Miss Maconda , who
made many friends by her excellent tech
nique und the flute like quality of her voice ,
Von Doenhoff as Azucona , William Mor
tens , who was thoroughly acceptable In all
the roles ho appeared In. Payne Clark was
not In good volco during tlio earlier days of
the engagement , but made a brilliant ( suc
cess as Ernanl. Perry Averlll created a
furore as the Toreador , whllo Barren Berth-
aid showed himself the possessor of n clear
tenor voice , somewhat light In quality , but
always serviceable. Pierre Delasco , whoso
work In concert gave so much promise of
operatic success , did not fill the measure of
expectation his friends entertained for htm.
Ills Mcphlsto , whllo a treat musically , failed
In Its dramatic Investiture. Probably the
best work ho did during the week was that of
Sllvn In "Ernanl , " a highly romantic part ,
which suited the robustness of his well de
veloped bass. The chorus was good , bad
nnd Indifferent by , turns , the lack of re
hearsals telling greatly against the mem
bers , who , while they showed good voices ,
were uneven In both manner nnd method.
The orchestra wna a delight to listen to und
n great deal of credit Is due the veteran Max
Maretzek for his 'jjcj olarly handling of the
band.
So much for the .professional . members of
the company , but' ' quite as much of a HUO-
cess was made by'Mrs. Katherlno B. Wads-
worth , whose assuhiptlon of the part of
Elvla In "Ernanl' was ono of the happy
surprises of the be bon. Without any ad
vance puffery Mrs , Wadsworth made n
pronounced lilt In' ' 0110 of the heaviest of
operatic roles , which1 launched her splendidly
on an operatic career that promises great
things for this unassuming , conscientious
artiste. Omaha Joins with her sister city
across the river In congratulations for this
young singer , who hi llestlned to demonstrate
to the effete east thju the west has emerged
from smct-barbarUni and U endowed with
beautiful voices tfiaj. need only opportunity
to bring them prominently before the public.
Friday night at 'the Exposition hall the
Sousa grand concert band will bo heard In
concert niwlsicl by the Apollo club chorus of
1'Hiolcig in two grand choral number * , the
nmrch from "Tnnnhauser" and the K.isler
hymn from "CavalHrla Hnstlcnnn , " nnd Miss
ln - < .MiicnskiT , H fSew ork soprano nnc
toui-hHK billlml elnqor , In vocal solos. Although -
' though Fotissi has only been here on < v wltt
his new band , the memories of that eonc rt
are so pleasant that ho Is an assured fixvorllo
I nnd stiecMs. The muslc.il success he htis
had In other places has made him famous us
the most accomplished band leader of the
day , nnd his band Is quite generally acknowl
edged to bo very much superior to any over
heard In this country , particularly In the
line of lellned pro.lurtlons and spirited com
edy numbers. Sousa gives such n concert ns nl
can enjoy , the lovers of classic music bclnj !
regaled with selections from Wagner nm
other masters , whllo they can find not hi lit ;
to dcploriIn ) his nrtlstlc treatment of even
the simplest popular nlrs. The less musi
cally cultured nro gradually educated by
hearing such music , nnd when the spirited
marchcH of Sousa'a own composition ate
played , the highest possible degree of musi
cal enthusiasm Is aroused. In marches
Sousn has pursued entirely new lines , whlcl
make him famous nil over the globe , am :
cirty tlitir catchy strains to every part oi
this country no that they nro played , whist
led nnd sung more generally than nn > thing
rise of the kind known. Ho Is happy In
composing melodious and pleasing strains
which are suitable to every sort of rendi
tion , nnd are ns striking on n piano or man
dolin or In a ball room ns nt n military b.nu
conrert. Ills arrangements of tht'su lire us
cilefully nnd elaborately carried out as
symphonies , which gives their band rendi
tion unusual attractiveness and Inspiration.
Another thing very much In favor of SOUMI'S
concerts , good ns they are , the price of nd-
mlMhm Is seldom more than $ l. which la
suitable to the great mnsscs who so much
love popular concerts.
Mr Sousn Is returning cast nfler flvo weeks
of playing nt the California Midwinter fnlr
to resume his concerts nt the Modlson sqnato
gat den In New York , which will be followe. !
by his rtgular engagement at Manhattan
beach nnd the St. Louis , exposition nnd wind
ing up about the 1st of December , n eon-
tlnnous season of forty-one weeks , the long
est band record In this country , which shows
how highly this band Is regarded by thopo
who pay big money for band music.
Among the other tnuslcales and concrts
for May the complimentary concert tendereJ
to Miss Myrtle E. Coon Is to take place on
the 22d , the date being changed from the
17th on account of the Apollo concert. Miss
Coon has secured the services of some of the
best talent In the city and looks forward to
the success of the concert.
It happens that there will bo no attraction
at either of the theaters the night of Sousn's
concert at the Exposition hall. The Dili
putlans were book d nt Boyd's so that Sousa
could not bo put In there by the Apollos , but
after they were burned out so completely nt
Milwaukee ns to necessitate the cancelling of
all their dates the Apollo club endeavored to
secure Boyd'a for the Pousa conceit , but
were unable to agr e on terms of rental , so
thev decided to remain at the Exposition
hall , which Is quite suitable for concert work.
The summer boason of the Carleton Opera
company ut Boyd's , commencing May 21 ,
will bo Inaugurated by nn elaborate produc
tion of the new "Ermlnle" as now played
by the Francis Wilson company. Mr. Carleton -
ton has secured ftom Mr. WlUon all right j
to this opera for the entire territory west of
the Missouri river. The company will be
strengthened for this engagement , as Mr.
Carleton Is desirous of making a success
sufficient to warrant an annual season In the
early summers. Several operas entirely new
In Omaha will be presented , and every effort
will be made to make the season popular In
every benso of the word.
Mr. Taber will give his twenty-seventh
oigan recital Sunday afternoon at 3:30 : at

nirs from Gounod's opera , "Philemon and
Baucis , " ndapted to the organ by Mr. Taber.

The mandolin , banjo and guitar concert
to bo given at Boyd's Friday evening. May
18 , will be , without doubt , one of the musi
cal events of the season. Several box parties

to guarantee a full house. The Omaha
Mandolin orchestra , with fifty-two members ,
led by Mr. H. P. Stitorlus and the Imperial

The separation of Gilbert nnd Sullivan

doubted by people who know of the great
Irascibility of temper of Mr. Gilbert and the
Increased 111 health of his famous col

another partner , and "Utopia , " according to
the gossips , Is the dual work of the most

He never went senility

He never saw his bank's cashier

In nil bis life be m-ver by
