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.

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

ciso Is Eald to bo actually refined and really

The week beginning Sunday , January 23 ,
will bn divided between the two plays "Mas

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 )

the announcement that It Is to bo repeated
s calculated to give general satisfaction.

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.

haracters. beginning with "Hamlet" at

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

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

and which will be given In their original
surroundings.

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
