l-i THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : fJt DAY , JANUARY 1C ; 180S. AMUSEMENTS. For at Iwsl the flrnt half of last week tbe local theaters maintained the standard o Mfih-clafis entertainment which was catab llshcd about the first of the year ana Is fitll jn existence , with a prospect of lasting for Nome time to come. Even the farce cometlj which has Jiwt closed a half week's engage mcnt at Iloyd's may truthfully bo said to be not the least among farce comedies and to hate given pleasure to 1-irge numbers o people during Its tiny. The period of ten days which ended with Mr Southern's hat performance nag a record breaker , anyway. In the matter o profitable business. The tremendous attend cncc of Hint Wednesday night nhcn three comic opera Mars pang together was the larfi cst single factor In the general result , but In tlio week and a half which Includedbcatdolha performance , the engagements of "The 1'rls oner of Zenda , " "Secret Service" and E. H Southern , bealtlcs six heavily patronized ap prdrnnccs of the Woodward company , the people of Omaha paid out over $7,000 for gooe ainitKcmcnt. This Is far from being a dls creditable showing for n town , which thougl It dislikes further notoriety for poverty , has certainly not yet reached the flood tide of Its material prosperity. The average set by these achievements bltto fair to bo well up through the remainder of the season. During the coming week Walker Whltcaldo , who stands high among contemporary tragedians , will give loca theater-goers almost their first and perhaps their only chance this scasrn at the soberer plaH of Shakespeare. H Is sincerely to be hoped that Internal In the works of the groicst of drama- tlsM has not entirely per'shcd hereabouts nnd that this really worthy exponent ol mighty roles will meet with more aubstantla encouragement than has been bestowed o ! recent years upon him and his fellow trage dians. Ho has a good company and Is sale to bo giving better performances than ever before. Ilh considerable natural ability , re fined 1)V his poetic temperament and his un questioned Intelligence , makes him In Born * , respects the most satisfactory Hamlet now on the American stage. Ills most apparent fault has not concerned the conception or the delineation In general of the character portrayal , but rather the mannerism which have grown up around the method of such portrayal. Thesehe hao more than once Iiroml.scd to amend and reports from various soiirceo Indicate that ho has earnestly tried with good success , to do so. With these ex crescences removed , his Hamlet , his Illche- llcu. bis Shjlock will stand out brllllantl ) Illuminated by the light of critical as well as popular approval. Mrs. Whlteslde , whoso stage name Is Lulln Wolatan , Is once more with her husband , after a year or two de voted to other and perhaps not less congenial duties than those of the stage. His leading man , Charles D. Herman , Is very favorabl > known here , and may be relied upon to furnish bis usual powerful support ; and the company Includes several other familiar names which have been associated with Mr Whltcslde'R In past seasons. The wisdom of presenting "Hamlet" to an Omaha Sundaj audience remains to be dcmonistiated. Past experiments of similar nature have not tended to make one cangulno of any vcrj generous patronage at this time ; 1ml the at traction unquestionably deserves popular recognition and there Is some rcason'to hope that the coming engagement may bo appre ciated from the outset. Following Hard upon Shakespearean tragedy conies Madame Scalchl In a single perform ance of certain selected scenes from those justly celebrated gems of grand opera "Martbr" and "II Trovatoro" ; nnd she wll elng "Nobll Slgnor , " without which conces Ion no American audler'cq woulel ever let her KO forth alive , and perhaps "Comln * Through the llye" or "Old Folks at Home" It English , with a charming Neapolitan nc ceK. To her succeeds DeWolf Hopper , who will bring "El Capltan" among us for the second time and Is likely to find his usua cordial welcome waiting for him. He carries with hi in this season a big brass band which Is said to come In with fine effect upoi the ump-tarara of the finals. Outwardly al Is quiet once more In the Hopper domestic circle , and the long comedian and his little wife arc nightly seen together on the stage1 This Is positively all that concerns the pub lic , which ought to bo content so long as two of Itn favorites arc not professionally divided , whatever their private relations may be. Meanwhile , the beautiful Nella Bergen Is singing away down cost In "The llrldo Elect , " Uertha Waltzlnger Is again a prominent feature of the Hopper ensemble nnd the agile DeWoIf Is said to take pride ns heretofore , la the personal pulchritude1 of his feiralo chorus. It Is earnestly hopee that no unseemly displays may be made by audiences of their wolfish appetite for "Casey at the Bat" on the occasion of Mr. Hopper'H return , for he has begged The IJeo to announce , In view of the threatened riot of last year , that mighty Casej hod positive ! ) struck out for the last time , Herbert Kelcey and Eflle Shannon In "A Coat of Many Colors" will fill an engage ment at IJoyd's the first half of next week , beginning Monday , and "I'udd'nhead Wl - son.

Their olllces arc open from 9 in the morning till 0 la the evening , and all inquiries will bo cheerfully answered , by the doctors in person , and children arc especially v. ulcome < o their time. For another week .wewill continue th free examination , head of a strong cast wilt be presented nex In order. Mr. Kelcey has not been ecen nor for several years , but U not believed to bav lost his popularity. The piny , "A Coat o Many Colors , " has been , warmly comtncndcc by the eastern press , and the company which will present It contains a number o well known people. Several members of th old cast arc supporting .Mr. . .Mayo In "Pudd'n head Wilson , ' * notably Miss Grahams B Howy and Mr. Campoau as Tom. The season of cheap prices and good enter talnmcnt nt tbe Crelghton has passed ou ( it the experiment ! ) stage and Is oven thu early an assured nnd emphatic success. Dusl I'CfiH nt that bouse during ( ha last week ha been enormous. Nothing llko It waa eve known In Omalm , oven when the Wood wan company hao filled the theater to overflowing night after night on former occasions Whether this augmented patronage Is due to the superiority of the present attraction over MIMO of time paat or whether return Ing prosperity has brotigtit It about Is no altogether clear ; perhaps both nnJ still othc causes have contributed to so gratifying a outcome. That the entertainment provided Is even better worth the modest prices of admUslon than ever 'Is universally conceded , nnd tha all classes of people nave more money thai formerly to spend upon luxuries and amuse mcnts has been- abundantly proved sincetin. . first of the year. Many , however , while be stowing dibstantlil riisouragement upon the expensive attractions which come for one night or two or three , aa tno case may be nro yet hesl'atlng to spend oven a quarte upon an enterprises \\4ilch .has conic to sta ; a U which In worthy of the support of nil Mr. Woodward would bo the last to claim fo his company the Mime.1 high plane of excel lencn which one mturolly expects for In stance Mr. Sotlirrn'a organization to occupy It remains an nnJoubted truth , however that the unpretentious company compcsej o cr > 3i-gt > tlc , intelligent and aspiring young actors , Is regularly giving qullo as full a meticy's worth ap the average of widely her aided attractions which pby In opposition Hundreds of people In Omotia , who , In their wilful Igiioranro , remember only Mr. Wood ward's modest beginnings an-1 look elown scornfully upon anything lo which his name Is attached , might spend an evening far lcs profitably than by going to the Crclghtot and seeing an enjoyable dramatic perform anco. together with Incidental specialties .which alcmo are worth more tuun the sun they will be required to gplvo up for atlmls slon. They will see , too , what they are ro over accustomed to seeing a great theater packed from footlights to dome with applaud ' " 3 people , among whom they are certain to discover a great many of their own gooe friends. The Woodward rompany Is alreadj attracting all the hou.se will hold. If an ; one doubts It let him try his luck at the box office for this afternoon's or this even ing'fl performance. TJICSO who have tot yc bcon a'tracted ' are missing a good thing , am If they will take The Dee's unprejudlcee word they cai.not do better than to make up theater parties or go In palra anl see the most astciM.shlng entertainment over offeree at the > pi-Ices demaueleJ.

The Woodward company begins the se : md week of Jts remarkably eucce'ssful en ? agemcnt at the Crelghton with two per 'ormances today , rratlnee cmd evening , o Wllcon Ilurrett's great melodrama , "The SI ! vcr King. " The play Is too well known to require extended descr'ntion , although I ' is not been presented here fee some time Mr. Woodward has enlarged his company to licet tbo requirements of this olay , wftlcl will be put on with every attention to de Mil and general correctness. The mcmberr of the compaeiy are all cald to be partlculnri : well suited wjth their parts , and an in Jlvldual success Is predicted for Me. Ful 'on In tlio chaiacter of Wilfred Denver. During the latter half of tlio week the- theatrical bill will be the familiar drama "Forgiven , " which the Woodwards have played hero before. T'.io vaudeville attractions , which , In ac cordance with the policy of the house , wll bo presented at every ipccformnnce through out the coming week , are unusually ntrong They Include the Morris trained ponies , a troirc of little horses of extraordinary in telligence , whoso feats singly and In com bination , arc said to bo of a marvelous kind , and particularly. Interesting to chil dren ; the Van Aukens , whoso "turn" on the horizontal bars Is spoken of as something nulto out of the common ; and Stanley anil Jackeon , In that fveclcs of entertainment known ns a "refined sketch , " w'.ilch In their ciso Is Eald to bo actually refined and really clever. The week beginning Sunday , January 23 , will bn divided between the two plays "Mas ter and Man" and "Tho Lost Paradise. " A specially elaborate production will bo made of the former , with an augmented cast and ncenery created for this occaslcn by the artist , who is nt present devoting all Mt lim to Mr. Wcodwat'd'a necessities. He has particularly surpassed iilmsclf In the prcoa- atlon of the thrilling furnace ? ceiie , and the whole production will be a notable one. 'The Lest Paradise" was unquestionably the nest admired of all the pl-iys oresented tiere ) ast nummer by the Woodward tompEny , and the announcement that It Is to bo repeated s calculated to give general satisfaction. The specialties for that week are Manley ml Hose , a clever sketch team ; the larncr S'sters and the Nelson family , a remarkable troupe of acrobats , Any doubt of tlio penr.ncntdemand for ( Irst-clcus amuocmcnt at cheap p-lces having teen removed by the record-bre-'klng business of last week , the public may confidently look forward to an Indefinite' bctaon of goal en tertainment < n thu plan which Mr. Wood ward has succeeded In making to popular liero , Attraction which are strong enough lo draw and hold 15,000 people In a single week , are strong enough to draw and hold a. great many more rrid all classes of theater , goers , the highest as well as these not so high , will find It north their while to spend an evening now and then at the Crolghton heater. It will not ccst them much and they can- - still afford to go to see the high priced things at nnyd'i , from which , hoiv- mer , they > irc by no means certain to extract greater enjoyment than the humbler resort vlll afford them. In reapoceo to many requests , Walker Whlteelde , the tragedian whose coming en gagement Is noticed elsewhere , has con- acntcd to glvo his lecture on "The Merchant of Venice , " next Monday afternoon at < o'clock , at tbo Crelghton hall. Mr , White- Ido Is among tbo most scholarly of actoro and ha , ? iwdo a specially minute study of his play and particularly of the character of Shylock , which Is rather a favorite part of his. He Is on agreeable and always In- cresting speaker and his lecture should bo attractive to teachers , pupils and cultivated > eopo ! generally. The lecture will bo free and all who care to bear It will be welcome. Dr. Nansen , the celebrated scientist and Arctic explorer , has been engaged to give wo lectures In Omaha. There will bo a uatlneu on tbo afternoon of January " 5 nt Uu Crelghton theater end a lecture In the evening of the sanio day at tbo First Meth od 1st church. Dr. Nansen Is making a tour of 100 nights In tbla country aud , an was shown in ( ast Sunday's paper , lias met rltb phenomenal success. lie has already Hied over eoventy of the dates and most all ot Uicu la euUru cltlcj , Before Ijq fi WE'VE on r ; pi * MADE IJ To pull the price mark off of every odd pair of our heavy soled shoes and reprice it at a price that will sell them quick so Tuesday , January 18th , at 8 a. m. , the doors will open upon one of the greatest cut priced shoe clearance sales ever attempted in Omaha Not a shoe but that's our own known reliable stock not a shoe but that we can recommend as fully as before the prices were cut There will be odd sizes odd lots and complete lines put in this sale at prices that have been pushed down so low as to lose sight of the original cost it's like selling shoe strings and giving away the shoes You've received shoe values from us every day of the past year but never no , not in your whole life before have you even dreamed of such values as these Monday we will give you some prices that will show you that we mean to sell every pair of these shoes Tuesday is the day Drex L Shooman's is the place. 1419 Farnam St. ( See 8th page Monday Evening Bee. ) iaairat ! ! reJiA i * * * : W > A came to America , Nansen delivered a course of lectures In England nnd his reception there was no Icsa enthusiastic than Mt has been In this country. In both 'Europe ' and the United States ho has been received as tho' hero of the day. Ever since his return ho lias been the most prominent man before the scientific , geographical and educational world. Dr. Nansen reached a point 250 miles nearer the pole than anyone else had ever boon , but It Is not that fact that has done so much to make him famous as have the scientific results of the trip. All former explorers had believed that the region farthest north was a continent , but Nansen demonstrated that It was an open sea. His ship , while embedded In the solid ice drifted an average of a mile a day for three years , thus showing that the region was water and not land. This has rendered a -hange necessary In the maps of school geog- rophlcs. In manner Dr. Nansen Is earnest , frank ? nd modest. Ho obtained his excellent com mand of English at the University of Chrlstlanla when a student there. He la 36 years old and has obtained degrees and medals from every nation of Europe. The original plan was to make Nansen's lecture tour cover the entire country , but there has been such a general demand for return dates In eastern cities that It was supposed for awhile that no dates would bo made west of Chicago with the excep tion of those already filled In Minneapolis , but the present plan Is to go as far west as Omal'a and Kansas City and possibly to Denver. A treat 's In store for local lovers of high , class comedy. Mrnagere Paxtonand Burgesj aroounce the appearance of Mr. Herbert Kel cey and Miss Eflle Shannon and their ex cellent company at the Boyd the flrat three nights of next week , commencing Monday , January 24 , In Madeleine Lucette Hyley'a atcst and most successful comedy , "A Coat of Many Colors. " The reputations of the stars have Ions been established In coimo- polltan centers rnd while this will be their Irst stellar appearance on the local stage , ; hey are bound to meet with a warm wel come , as many of our theater-goers have en- eyed the work of these talented artlstn when In the famous Lyceum Theater stock company. In "A Coat of Many Colors" both Mr. Kelcey > ni\ \ Miss Shannon are said to lave rolfa admirably fitted ta their taeaU ! and personalities. The supporting company can safely be said to be one of the strongest dramatic organizations now on the beards. Among the members are : William J. Le- Mcyne , long one of the principal members of Daly's , Wallack's and the Lyceum Theater stock companies , and Mr. Edmund' D. Lyocu of the tame organizations. Others prom'neut ' in the cast are : Hruco Mollae , Mr. David Tcrrence. Mr. Edward See , Mr. Edwli James , Mica Elllo Wilton end Miss Georgia UiMby. The play will be presented with all the beautiful scenery , stage settings and careful attention to detail that characterized its successful run at Wallack'u theater , Now York City , Walker Whlteslde , the tragedian , Is to come to us thla year with the added prestige of a Now York success. Mr. Whltealdo made ila first appearance ID Nev. York some three years ago as an unknown quantity. The Now Yorker always looks forward to a new Hamlet as eomethlng funnier than any farce comedy could possibly be. He goes with the expectation of laughing himself sore over the udlcrous Inadequacy and the dramatic critic charpens h'e ' pencils to an extra fine ; > ant ! and ponders humorous tiotea In advance. To what was 111' a certain sense their very great disappointment , Mr. Whltesldo proved to be an actor whom one must deal with seriously. As one of the critics put It : "Those who went to scoff remained to.admire. " Having disarmed opposition by hla first visit to New York , Mr , Whlteslde madea second appearance there to challenge serious criticism. Ho was now cordially welcomed s a valuable acquisition to the Shakespercan Irama and a worthy artist. Whole columtn vere devoted to a consideration of his ability and methods , and predictions of supreme chlevemenls were made. Mr. Whltesldo has now an Increased claim upon the Interests of all lovers of the best things In the drama. lo will appear hero In a round of classical haracters. beginning with "Hamlet" at Uoyd'e tonight. Mr , Whltenlde'a company has been most arcfully selected for Individual fitness and Ir. Charles D. Herman , one of the most ! atehed and prominent of our legitimate ae ons has been specially engaged for leading man , The much bummed anil Almost universally whistled and sung "El Capltan , " with ever oj-gua and rolllcWBg DgWolt Hopper In tbo principal role , Is underlined at the Crelghton theater for mextFrlday _ evening. The pretty opera , wfilch was presented here and In every other large qltjtvilast season , proved Immensely successful , and to Its own ers and projectors" a veritable gold mine nnd In financial returns probably holds the record as being the most successful on the road. Sousa's catchy music is well and favorably known , among theater-goers everywhere and therefore neeels no comment. Klein's libretto Is full of good points and funny lines and It gives abundant opportunity for the elon gated comedian to Introduce his own peculiar methods of amusing. The opera will bo pro. eented here with Its wealth of stage settings , elaborate costumes , dresses and draperies , Its entire original cast of principals and grand chorus of fifty voices , an Increased orchestra and a complete military band , which has been especially engaged to give more tone and volume to the famous marcheo in the finales of the second and third acts and which will be given In their original surroundings. Mr. Hopper's forthcoming engagement Is limited to one night only. Tbe nalo of re served eeats opens ) nt the box offlce on next Tuesday morning. "The Girl I Left Behind Me , " which is to tie produced at Boyd .i for two performances text Sunday afternoon and evening , was produced originally at the Empire the.ater. New York , January 28 , 1893. It was the first play ever produced In that theater and was pccalbly the most successful p'.ay ever seen there. It may be described as an American drama In four act.i , written around Indlarn aad white men with a stockade for the most startling scene and Indian war whoops for the Incidental music. It has a cast of seven teen characters and every human emotion Is brought Into play dur'ng ' the action of the piece. There Is a strong love element Inti mately connected with the garrlsom life nnd there are vivid contrasts , "The Girl I Left Behind Me" lo considered tbo beat combined work of Its authors , David Belasco and Franklin Fyles. .Merely I'lnycrM , Marie Shotwell has resigned from Fanny Davenport's company.
