. Omaha has been unusually favored of late
In the matter of the presence of playwrights
In town , no less than three out or the four
engagements ; or the week having bean adored
'y the bly appearance of the authors of
the plays presented , In connection wlth . the
work of their hands , or pens lS the case may
be. Mr. loyt did not act In "A Contented '
Woman ; " he loft that lo his wife , who ; to be
sure , llld nol act either , but whose lovely
face left I more than commonly permanent
impression upon the. retina , although the
natural sweetness of that face In repose II
.sadly marred by self-consciousness before an
audlenco. Mr. 10yt. however , made a speech
after the third act . anti assured his hearers
that his play had nD local significance peculiar -
. liar to Omaha , which was calculated to reassure -
sure any who were inclined to credit the
. author , In addition to his otherlarge . endow-
ments with such gif of prophecy as enabled
llln to foresee the c lncldelce of the prol\uc-
t tlon of his play with the existence hereabouts
ef a strong tendency' toward reform In poll-
tlcs. I may bl doubted whether even the
heedless thousands \ who crowded Boyd's the
ater througbout the loyt engagement , and
who usually join with like-minded thousands
elsewhere In fervent praline of anything which
. bears the name of Hoyt cared overmuch for
"A Contented 'oman. " Not because It was
vulgar not because the characters depIcted
were lacking In ladylike and gentlemanly Instincts -
stincts . not becuso the humor was of that
kind which smites one like a failing house-
all these charges might bi maintained , but
then one expects these qualities : In a 10yt
farco. One ale expects what one did not
find ' In "A Contented Woman" as prs.ntll
bere . a competent cast . 11' . 10yt has clever
people about him a a rule but ho seems to
have depended , for ' the success of this latest
effort , less upon the qualifratlona of the supporting -
porting company than upon the regular fea-
tures of Caroline Miskel and upon the quality
of his own dialogue . which Is neither higher
nor lower than the average of that which
, adorns his phyl The performance of Mrs.
Clarke was Irle.Oy but favorably commented
on In an early notice at the pleco. I still
remains 0 bright spot against a background ,
of modlocrlty. I will le a plMsure to see
this artist again In more congenial surround. i
Ings. . AIlllo from her characterization of the I
gay widow , and the effective work of George
Ober along the limes of farce , there was noth-
Ing In the representation to tale ply or
. players even lo the customary 10yt level.
The appearance of "On the flowery" at
DOYll'l theater on this ( Sunday ) evening and
the two following evenings wilt prove a most
Interesting event and already considerable '
. ' ' knows thai
Interest Is evinced. Everybody ,
this play ) lIy H. N. Stephens I the one In '
which Is displayed the personality of that
much heard or New York Product , Steve
Brodie I was 0 profitable thought to make
sucha typical Bowery character a Brodie a
figure In a play touching on Bowe.ry life. The
llrolle of the stage and the Broie of real lo
are one and the ume. The clay ] tell a melo
dramatic 1101'1 as exciting as may be found
In any New York sensational drama on the
contemporary Itago A young reporter falsely
accused of robbing ! the father of his sweet-
heart must bo free to prove hIs innocence and .
i
r escapes through a window-- The pursuing I
policeman blunderingly captures an Innocent
old farmer In his Itnd. The crime wu
really committed by t"'o.burglars and was
. wln6le by the teporter'i rival . who hu
obtained some of the plunder. This fact \
! known to I woman whom the rival has de-
tl'lnd and II trying 4o avoid. The rival sets
about pulling this girl out of the way . , 8 her
existence Imperlo both his safety and his
prospects of marrying the reporter's sweetheart -
heart . le fads the burglar on the flowery
and by threats of eXltOIUre { and premiere to
pay he secures their aId 11 his scheme to
lure the deceived girl to Brooklyn bridge a
nlgbl-n promise of marylug hN In Brook-
! o-aud to drop her from the bridge Into
+ the Eat river Tha reporter . who has found
. . ' .
" .
refuge In Steve Brodlo's saloon haD reason to
suspect the burglars and also discovers -
ers that they arc In communication with his
rival lie sees them drive off with , the cab ,
but Is prevented from giving chase by the
arrival of the police , who have been informed
of his whereabouts by the rival. Steve
Brodie prevents him from beIng arrested and
then goes with him after the cab. Drodlo
and the reporter arrive on Brooklyn bridge
just after the burglars have thrown the girl
Into the river and ned. Bredlo jumps from
the bridge and saves her. 10 lands with her
at a pier , where he Is Joined by the reporter
and the olll farmer , who proves to " be the
rescued girl' father. The reporter 15 again !
nearly cornered by the police , but the farmer
leads them off on 0 false chase. The 10- ,
perter's rival sets fire to the watch house In
which ho learns that his Intended victim Is
recovering from the elects of her river ex-
perlence but Broie ascends to the second
story and rescues her. The proof of the re- !
porler's Innocence and his rivers gui Is
thus forthcoming at the proper time and all
ends happily for the well-deserving.
As this brief recital of theory indicates
the production of "On the Uow ory" requires
an uncommonly fine scenic equipment. I Is
pictorial In' the highest degree possible to a
play of its klnll. John Ii. Young bas never
excelled In Ingenuity and effectiveness the
wonderful Brooklyn bridge scene that he designed -
signed and painted for "On the Bowery , " at
lie ( order or Manager Davis and Keogh.
Another scene that Is unique on the stage Is
that representing Steve Brollle's curiously
decorated saloon. The pier scene Is the most
elaborate scene of Its kind ever built and the
fire Is as realistic and exciting al a stage
fire can pssibly be. The outdoor Bowery
and Chatham Square views when vhown out-
side of New York must make any New
Yorker homesiclr , so true to the actual are
they.
To make "On the Dower , " al many.sldell
an entertainment oa possible . a number of
very amusing specialties are rendered by the
comedy characters . and these are In every
case appropriate 10 the nature of the play.
Theatergoers of every class will find plenty
to thrill or amuse them In "On the Bowery. "
At the Creighton , one actor-author. ( tarrIng -
log In his own play has mule a strong bid
fnr a share of popular favor , and another .
already established In the esteem of the
publlc . bas done what he could to strengthen
hhnself In his position Mr. Hal Reid , although -
though his merit a an actor and al a writer
of plays suited lo his own abilities has nol
received the recognition during this engage-
ment which It deserved his made friends
with "liuman hearts" who will keep him
In mind against his next coming. One dOlI
not look for greatness In dramatic repre ' en -
latonl of this hind . nor , indeed after many
unsuccessful quests , In many more preten-
tous efforts : but excellence such a Mr.
'RoWs will not always go unrewarlled , and
h1s In It potJlbltes of development which
'wi not stop at " 'luman hearts. "
Mr Hoyle's new play was discussed at
some length Immeiately after its first pre
sentaton hero I was well liked by the
majority of those who law it . although the
warmer welcome was reserved for the older
favorite . "Friends " I Is not Imposible
that this company may play a return engagement -

I Is nn Interesting fact that speaks well
for the dramatic qualities of the novel that
the three most distngished successes of the
theatrical season arc plays that have been
taken from books These pieces of course ,
are "Trllly. " " 7ho Prisoner of Zenda" and ,
"A Social Highwayman " This last piece ,
adapted by Miss Mary A. Stone from the
story of that name by Elizabeth Phipps
Train , has just made a splendid success at
the Garrick New York , and has given both
E. M. an" Joseph Holland serous characters
to interpret . In which they are seen to the
bet poslllie allvantage. "A Social HIghway-
man" contains all thc excitement of II melo-
drcma without any of the claptrap methods
and expedients noticed In that class of play
and I has the refined atmosphere that we
might expect In the best class of society
wherein the drama tak.s. place. ThO character -
acter of Courlce Jattrey . the gentleman
thief , played with gent dignity and fore
by Joseph Holland . belongs to the category
of "Jim the Penman" and "Captain Swift . "
but I has many attributes that are dls-
Uncty Individual The role of Jenkins
Hanby the ex-convIct. faithful valet and
friend of Jnlrey , presents E. M. Holland
In a most sympathetic light : and the Ones e
and discretion of these admirable actors'
performances cannot be tea highly com-
mended. The spiritualistic seance and thc
falll collapse of masonry In the last act
which kills CourUce Jafrey make two of
the most thrilling Eluatons that have ben
seen for a long time upon' ' the New York
stnHo. The success of "A Social Highway-
man" Is so great that It could easily run according -
cording to present indications . throughout
the entire season If not well Into the sum -
mar , but the fact that Mme. Mojeska begins
her engagement at the Garrick October 7
and the engagements made for the Hol-
lands In the other cities make such a run
ctes
Impossible.
