In the February number ot that bright
militant Ilttto monthly publication , '
Ifihmaeltte , appear * a thoughtful and \
timely essay "Concerning the Ilomai
1'lay , " from the pen of Otis Skinner.
The I.ihmaollto has not the largo clrculal
hereabout to which Its tncrlti undenlo
entitle It , and as Mr. Skinner has a host
friends and admirers In Omaha who ml
otherwise bo deprived of the pleasure
reading his words on a subject concern
which ho Is exceptionally well qualified
speak , thn essay 1 : here reprinted.
Skinner's latest engagement here furnls
proof ot the correctness of his theories ,
fas as ho himself Is concerned ; for his p
"A Soldier of Fortune , " being the only
of his reptrtory which he himself we
rlasMfy as "rcrcantlc1 not only attracted
largest audience of the week , but furnls
by far the most satisfactory cnterti
tncnt.
"Tlio Urm 'romantic drama , ' " says
Skinner , "haa of late been applied to
particular kind of play that contains mov
Incidents , quarrels , the clash of swords ,
swagger ot bravos , the plotting of vllli
and the rescuing of fair maldcna by gall
men. This U the Idea , conveyed as soon
the vrord 'romantic' l applied to a p
Although the- spirit of romance may permi
the many otter kinds ot plays , they m
be parceled off as emotional , sensatloi
classic , romlc , tragic , melodramatic , don
tic , etc. The drama ot Incident , just I
swinging Into vogue , demanded a name , h
ever , and hence this monopoly of terml
v.'hlch Is palpably unjust to many pi
of a somewhat different character.
"A curious evidence ot the mutability
rubllc tcato Is shown In the demand
bloodshed and adventure In the novels
plays of today ; but It Is only a repetlt
of conditions that have persistently appea
la stage literature from time to time. '
play-going public la as eager for novelty
a man of fashion Is for a new mode
clothes. Some time ago It was 'farce ' c <
cdy' that claimed popular support. 1
kind of entertainment was apparently
Tented by Charles Hoyt , who discovered t
plays could cxlnt without plots , provl
they were furnished with a sulllclcnt num
of pretty glrle , choruses , Jokes and spec
ties. Hefore this , melodrama of a i
nounccd English character , full of ex ]
elons , realistic effects and bad clmract
prevailed. This class of play has a
cceded the drama ot Intrigue taken fi
French imurccs , of which 'The Two
phans' Is a memorable example ; and I
fashion had In turn been preceded by
emotional French drama , which had to
with Infractions of the seventh comma
mcnt. Then there were the English soi
comedies of Robertson and Ilyron. The
Is not by any means complete , for there
numerous minor classifications , such as
New Kngland farm play , the American i
drama , as well as the social problem pi
which recent dramatic literature owes
Ibsen , Sudermann , I'lnero and others ,
all these examples of different literature
has been the play that porsessed the grt
est amount of romance that has been m
successful. Hardly a notable example <
be found In the record ? , of plays devoid
romance , that have pleased the public i
won men's hearts.
"The last of'my classifications , the EOC
problem play , rose a few years ago In
fiance of the apparently well-established 1
of the romantic In stage writing. The ,
vocates ot this new cult , said : 'Wo i
tlreU of the old , exaggerated , false > thei
that the drama has for years been ba :
upon , , of Its cast-Iron rules and of Its fa
conception ot life. Why not represent life
It really Is ? Why not reproduce the stn
glea , envies , ambitions and desolations
everyday existence ? They are the r
tragedies : they "hold the mirror ui >
nature. " ' This Uieory seemed reasonal
and Ibsenvas balled as the Messiah
the drama.
"It has been some years since- the coml
of. Ibsen. In the meantime Ills works ht
been exploited , discussed"adrtilred/Toject
made subjects of paeans of praise and v
leys of damnation. Dut In splto of all t
notoriety of the pioneer realist and that
Ills followers , Sudermann , Hauptmann n
I'lncro , their plays have never had r
and lasting popularity , I think that 1
reason la not hard to find. It lies In I
fact that when we go to the theatre wo wi
to bo taken out of ourselves and trai
ported to an Ideal and wonderful world , a
the most potent agents to this end i
Idealism and romance. These are wl
make the stage world a paradoxical real
to us ; WP crave Illusion , not literalism ; 1
closer to the lines of Idealism this Illusl
Is brought the keener Is the delight to I
refined mind. It Is Illusion that gives poi
lar acceptance to the wild extravagances
farce and burlesque , and Illusion that i
genders belief lu even the stale devices
cheap melodrama.
"This has been the touchstone to the sj
pathloa of audiences and not bald literal !
and photographic realities. We do not wo
when we go to the theatre , to find condltlc
that thrust us back Into the world fr
which wo came. It Is neither cnlfgbtcnl
elevating nor wholesome to find discs
lunacy , starvation , groveling passions or t
torted emotions made tlie- leading subjects
playg. It Is the normal wo crave the norr
with Its easy , natural attributes and it
the normal that rlnea by quick ascent to
Ideal. To the normal mind the Ideal wo
Is as real as the world or sewers , hosplt
and morgues. Thoughts are real things c
It Is the realm of thougtir , poetry and
manco that wo recognlzo as true In <
pursuit of pure enjoyment at tlie theatre

and the tramp , the former to get her prc
Ised $20,000 , and the latter to secure eve
thing he can lay 'his ' hands on. This ,

Institution , i
The affairs of tlio American Savings bank
formed tlio subject of a eliort discussion In
Judge Scott's court yesterday , and tl.o
anuouncoracnt made by the court will ba
received with rejoicing by the depositors
In tlmt Institution , this Announcement being
to tlio effect that the depositors will prob
ably receive full payment on their deposits
within the next two weeks.
The matter came up on an application by
a number of depositors represented by their
attorney , thcso depositors being anxious to
know more about the affaire of tlio bank
and the probability of their ever getting
anything out of the assets of Uio bank.
When the attorney brought the matter to
the attention of the court Judge Scott' In
terrupted htm to sny that ho was glad to
Inform him and his clients ns well as all
other depositors that within the next ton
days or two weeks there would be juld la
the sum of $25,000 , with which all undla-
put oil claims against the bank would bo
paid. The court said the disputed claims
and the liability of the stockholders would
bo settled. If the $25,000 was not enough
to pay all claims then remaining the stock
holders would bo required to pay tho" bal
ance. Continuing , the court said there
would probably be no litigation , but that
all disputes would bo settled amicably and
the affaire of the bank wound tip In an ex
peditious manner. In commenting ou this
ease Judge Scott said ho waaited especially
to compliment the receiver , J.V. . Thomas ,
on the buslncss-llki > ' way In which ho had
conducted Urn offalra of this bank. The
court said the affairs had been carried on
In a most satisfactory way and the receiver
had used excellent business tact In getting
the matters In such shape that the liabili
ties would probably be settled without liti
gation.
The attorney stated that the desire of
the stockholders wan to preserve the assets
of the bank Intact , so far as possible. Ho
said his clients had made no objection to
this , but they had Insisted that the stock
holders should pay tlio depositors. Ho said
the capital stock of the hank was ( $100,000 ,
on which only 25 per ent had been paid ,
and there wan enough still duo from solvent
stockholders to pay 85 per cent of the
claims. The attention of the court was
called to the fact that Judge Ambrose had
fixed the compensation of the receiver at
| 300 per mot.th and atked to reduce this
amount.
Judge Scott said ho would not acknowledge
the right of another judge to fix the com
pensation of a receiver In a case under his
Jurisdiction and ho said ho would set the
order asldo temporarily , leaving the matter
of compensation to bo determined later. Tlio
court said he wished to bo ( understood au
not objecting to the amount fixed , but said
this was a question which could only bo de
termined when the matter was settled.
The order was set aside and the applica
tion was put over for two weeks , pending
the payment by the stockholders.

/ / you have been deceived by stores
selling some browned and ground Rye and Corn
" " don't let that *
as a "Cereal Coffee , please exper
fence prejudice you about POSTUM CEREAL
Coffee , the only genuine and original cereal
coffee with a coffee flavor and made as a pure
food drink. CUNNING MERCHANTS
take your money for RUBBISH.
Let us Explain :
Wn Imvo illricuvuruil that cci'tniu inv-
chains In tills city purchased u little
I'ostuin Uuival Food Coffee Rome time
iifjo , beniuso there was a ureat demand
for It. They advertised the fact that
they had It for Kale and really Hold
some Kcmilnu pnckn fH. They KOt the
trade started wltU them , whweuj > ou
they began to Herve their ciiKtomera
with some browned and ground rye ,
corn , etc. , In bull ; , having lar e nl us
put up with "Cereal Coffee" on tlii'in ,
anil Inquirers for I'ostuin Cereal Kood
Coffee were given that base Imitation.
Naturally , those who knew tlm taste of
I'ostum goou discovered ( something
wrong , but those who had never tried
the genuine , wo fear , never will , unless
they learn that u rank nnd unpalatable
Imitation was put off on them. J'u.s-
tuin IK NIOVKIl SOLD IN IMJMC. It
comes In packages , having tlie red seals
with the words "It makes red blood , "
our U. S. registered trade mark , which
the Impostera dare not copy. The gen-
nine I'ofituin IB kept at all first class
fancy groceries at 15 and 25 cents per
package. It brows as black and rich
as the finest Mocha if boiled 15 min
utes , and it Is made by pure food ex
perts , whoso experiments extended over
u period of Homo- twelve months , before -
fore they were nlo | to learn how to
make I'ostum. Anybody can brown
some gralna and grind them and make
a "sort of drink , " but that kind of rub-
birth linnlly pleases customers. It Is
dllllfult to tell what a grocer will not
do who will purposely deceive his cus
tomers lu tills fashion for a llttlo ex
tra gain. The public can bo their own
Judge. Our duty Is to warn them of
tlio Imposture. If people know at tlio
time of purchase tlmt they are buying
an unpalatable Imitation , It is hardly
so bud as when they are Ind by signs
and talk to believe they are getting
tlio real and genuine In return for
their money. Insist on the Healed
packages marked "I'ostum Cereal" and
with the red disks and words , "It
Makes Ited Wood. "
