14 THE OMAHA DAILY SUNDAY. MAY 1. 181I8. f * I AMUSEMENTS. | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * AslJe from ( ho itcady excellence of ( lie dramatic performance * , at the Crrlghton , the visit of Clay Clement , with his ever enjoya ble presentation ot IJaron Hohunitauffen In "The . .New Dominion. " was easily the event ot the week In local theatrical circles. Mr. Clement has for a long time wondered that the success which almost Invariably attt'.iiU fals efforts In other cities should be so gen erally withheld In Omaha , and he was ex- cctdlnsly pleased that the "business" bo- towed upon him on this occasion and last utttmn was far In excess of anything he bad previously attracted In this city. He la disposed to regard.Omaha as one of the first discoverers of "The New Dominion , " by reason of the praise which has been lavishly accorded It from the very beginning by the local prcca , and ho Is naturally pleased to tec that public appreciation Is coming In generous measure , too. Clement's Daron Hohenstauffcn I * still the chlvalrl : German gentleman who never falU to capture and hold the hearts of thojc who come within his genial Influence. He U much In this respect like Clement himself , who has and exercises freely the same en viable faculty. The Impersonation remains what It was when It was at first shown to the pul/ltc one of the cleanest , most delicate nil most completely satisfactory stage figures which Is to be seen at present any where. The Illness of his charming wife whose stage name is Karra Kenw > n was much regretted , both on her own account and by reason of the disappointment of the public , which has come to Identify her with the role of the sprightly widow. It Is pleas ant to bo able to announce that at this writ ing Mrs. Clement Is much Improved In health and expects to rcjolu the company In Denver early In the WCCK. On Wednesday evenh'i. since she was tiulto unable to ap pear , her part was undertaken at extremely khort notice by Miss Lucille Laverne , who came on from New York and Joined the corn- pan- hero on Tuesday. The legion of ad mirers of 'Pudd'nbead Wilson" will re member Mlta Liverne's wonderful gowns of the caily ' 50s and ner striking delineation of the role of Aunt Patsy. She did exceedingly well Wednesday evening , aa she Is prrtty certain to do with any part she essays. The warning had been too short for her to Iwrn the lines , so she read them from the manu- crl.pt. but even that Is not the sinecure It may seem to the uninformed , and by her In telligent performance Miss Laverne. dem onstrated her ability In an unmistakable manner. Mr. Clcmejt's present company Is easily the best which has ever supported him , although It Is In mijt respects the same which he brought here laut October. All the members have been re-engaged for next Reason , when "A Southern Gentleman" will bo tried again. I Clement's visit here lost week wat the' ' occasion of the renewal of a friendship of long standing between himself and Wilson Enos , who Is each week giving his ad mirers new cause for glaJness that they arc alive. A dozen or fifteen years ago , when thsy wore all comparatively cicw to the busi ness of acting , Clement , Enos. Julia Arthur end a number of other promising youngsters wcio ostoclntcd In a company which vua headed by the German tragedian , Daniel Dandminn , who Is still living at a vigorous old ago. In llelcni , Mont. Until last Wednes day the two former companions had not won each other for a loan ? time and mls- chlexous friends ho/1 created a breach be tween them which causeJ each to think un- charltablv of the other. Clement had no matlnco Wednesday and Enos had ; and a reunion took nace ! hi the d'resslngroom ' of tbo latter , \vfclcli quite restored their.rela tions to the old footing End gave the deep est RC'Usfac'.l-n to one who was by und who heard , in the ttlef apace of on hour , more Hood stories Iran he had ever In his life 1U- loneJ to In the same length of time. Mr. Clement was so strongly Impressed with the value of M'EaoJ1 ' acting In the part of Lord Jura tl-.nt he Is more than likely to of fer htm an engagement next season. Franklyn Fyles , the playwright and dra matic critic of the New York Sun , oald tlu other day that the personal conduct of theat rical people tdould not be considered In con I nection with their professional work. That Ik easy to eay and to believe. Out It la , equally true that their real characters arc I ' nearly as public as those which they aisumo ID mimicry. To Ignore that fact Is quite useless , and from one point of view It In not desirable. A gcod proportion of the players are well behaved In private lite , and surely It Is ( Hi3 to them that they be distinguished j by esteem from those who ore obtrusively wicked. Thtro Is a dl--position to regard the color of the black sheep as that of the whale flok , notwithstanding the whiteness of the majority. Just as the typical clergyman in the minds of the ungenerous Li a hypocrite , the lawyer a shyster , the Journalist a liar and the physician a quack , so the accepted representative of the stageIs a recklero Bohemian. The men In these professions may laugh at the uncharitable Unorare : of thin Injustice , but It hoppers that about one- third of the players are women , and the good women among these are made to suffer out rageously In reputation through the merited disrepute of the bad' women. The news of a distinguished octrees' death from druok- cnnces , and ot another's commitment to the alcoholic ward of a hospital , Is read far and wide , and is commonly taken as a result ot stage employment , while the quietly cir cumspect behavior of hundreds and thou- eaada affords m Incidents for publication. The wanton exploits ot a few creatures of notoriety are accepted as craracterktlc of the 'theater , while the unimpeachable pro priety of the many goes unobserved by the general public. For every name that U foul , a dozen could be given that are clean , but the former are bandied about by sccndal and the latter are mentioned only In asso ciation with their professional work. Here Is another truth. Few ot the vicious ac- trctscu have been made so by their profes sion. Most of them had acquired their bad ness before they went on the stage , which they have done their wen-it to degrade , but which has not degraded them. Happily the moral and Intellectual average of our dra matic recruits li rising steadily. Young men and women of refinement end education ore going Into the profession more and more. They arc not alone elevating the art of act ing , but are also Increasing more ilowljr but quite as surely , the standard ot personal morals at the tbeater. > Frank Lea.

James A. Hcrne nod his excellent support ing company are announced for four per formances at Boyd's , beginning Monday evening , when they will appear In bis txjautlful play of American home life , "Shore Acres. " This piece has become so familiar to theater goers generally that It is becom ing a difficult matter to pcea fresh enco mium lupon. U Is one ot the few native plays that will bear witnessing a oeco.id or third time.

Troost announces the opening of the Omaha Museum and Theater at 1315 and 1317 Farnam otreet , Saturday evening , May 7th , at 7 o'clock. For the past two montts carpenters acid builders have been busily engaged upon the altera tion ? and decoratkns and when the museum opens Its doors to the public Saturday night a moat complete and beautiful transforma tion will have been effected. The main purpose of the projectors of the enterprise was to provide a high class fam ily resort where women and children could visit nind enjoy for a small sum , not enl > ' a clean and high claes vaudeville perform ance , but a display of curios , gathered at great expense in every part of the country. Tne Curio Parlors are beautifully decor ated In blue and old gold. The ciirlcaltlf.i will bo placed upon stands about the hall and u pen the stage at the rear will be given an hourly performance. A retiring room for women , with a matron In attendance , will bo In close proximity. In the theater upon the first floor will be presented a high claea vandevllle per formance.

"Rosedale , " Lester Wallack's famous play , has been revived at the Columbus theater , New York , by a strong stack company under the direction of Frank Mordaunt and W. J. Block. The 1,000th performance ot "My Friend from India" took place last Tuesday evenIng - Ing at the Bijou theater In New York , and the event was marked by the distribution of couvcnlrs. Dlgby Bell and "The Hoosler Doctor" have been well received In New York , although the piece was deemed to be ot too delicate a flavor for the patrons of the Fourteenth Street theater , who like their plays hot and strong. The difference * between 'William H.

Johnston of New York City had been spending the last week In Omaha and It was the writer's good fortune to have an lour's conversation with him a few dajs since. Mr. Johnston Is one of the best known managers In America , and has had under ila direction nearly all the great artists who lave visited this country , Including Plancon , Icrardy , Yaiyo and Caeswr Thompson. Mme. v'onllca wes traveling under his management whcti she visited Omaha lost December. His experience with ertlets and with the public ncludes the entire gamut of success and allure , and hie oplnlonn upon such matters rae valuable enough to merit public consid eration. During the last season It has been - cry difficult to secure engagements for ar- : tsts at prices whlefa would pay expenses , ilr. Johnston managed eight Sunday cven- ng concerts In the Metropolitan opera house n New York made money on the first ono ind kst rncney on the remaining seven or these concerts employing the greatest ar- : lsts In America , at the time , Including 'l.iticon , Mme. Sembrlch and the others men tioned above. He had the assistance of Mr. Scldl and the Metropolitan orchestra. About (300 ( was spent In advertising each concert and the programs presented have never been excelled in alt the history of the Metropolitan evening concerts. Concerning these performances Mr. John ston oald , "Until this year Sunday evening concerts at the Metropolitan opera house MVO been financially successful , but for Borne reason or other , which no manager up to thiu time has been able to discover , the concert business this fooson has been a 'allure. At first I put on at the.se concccts an array of arttats such as has never been houd at cno perAmr.ancc In New York. The expense was enormous , but so was the au dience and I made money. The next week I tried It again. The expense was the same , but the audience much less , Indeed the dif ference wcs so great that I suffered a lean. My friends advised me to reduce my expense by using only one or two artists at each con cert. This I did and while I reduced the ex- pen.ie ot the concect the audience reduced It- celt even more rapidly and my loss wcs greater. I found that I lest less money when [ Incurred the largest expense. " I asked Me. Johnston his opinion regarding the salaries paid to foreign artlsto. He said , "The falarlca which we have been paying are absolutely suicidal. At the present time It la Impossible for any manager to make his expenses and he Is pretty certain to lose money if he bn any to lose. The day ban gone by when the American public will pay uch exorbitant rates to foreigners. I do not know whether It Is because they are leen Interested In music than they used to be , or because there are a greater number of ar- ttetn requiring their support. If the New York public li willing to spend In one seascn $100,000 for concert performances the greater the number of people cinong whom It is divided the lees each munt receive. This season New York was flooded with arthts. Pianists , vlolinUts and vocal ists crowded upon one cnother In a frantic endeavor to get Into pocseeslon of the ever attractive American dollar. A large- number ot dollars were forthcoming , but not enough to go around. It would surprise the public to know tow' few musical enterprises paid expensed. It looks very grand to travel across the continent in a private car , but 'all la not gold that glitters. ' It Is my opinion that the era of large salaries Is about over nod that in the future European artists will be obliged to perform In this country for nearly the same figures which they obtain In Europe. Heretofore we have been paying for a single performance as much as they get over there for e month's cervices. It Is no wonder that we have lest money and that the public has come to feel that It Is ruthlessly bled. An effort Is being made at the present time to bring about an understanding among the leading managers of foreign attractions , whtrfa you might call perhaps the formation of a sort of trust , for self-protection , and they propcse hereafter to make the prices themselves. " I aeked Mr. Johston If ho did not think It would bo advantageous for manager and artist to enter Into a sort of partnership by uhlch the risk would be shared between tbim ; the manager to furnish the necessary funds for the Initial promotion of the enter prise and the artist to furnish his" cervices , being guaranteed an amount which would se cure him from actual loss. He said , "Tho time Is hardly ripe forthat yet , but we are. coming to It. The DeReszkes were financially Interested In the Abbcy-Grau opera company ; Indeed they were eo much Interested that poor Abbey died a pauper and Grau lit prac tically an agent upon salary. When it works that way of course It Is not advan tageous. But Mme. Melba la financially In terested In the Damrosch-EHIs opera com pany and shares not only In Its gains but In Ite losses. " 1 Inquired what effect the war wes likely to have upon amcsement enterprises and found that Mr. Johnston was decidedly pessi mistic regarding everything that pertained to the -war except the fact of our ultimate triumph. He mid : "Ber since there wns a rumor of war and people began to expect It the amusement business has suffered. Dur ing the war of the 'rebellion theaters were closed the greater part of the time and there was rarely a performance advertised more than twenty-four hours In advance. My father won a member of a stock company composed of Booth , McOuliough and others and my authority Is reliable for the effect that war has upon these things. In every well made contract there Is what wo call "war clause , " which gives us the privilege of canceling the contract in case of war , rioter or any other great social upheaval. I have already canceled four Important contracts for next eearxn with European artists because I do not believe that they could bo suc cessfully carried out under the existing cir cumstances. Other managers are doing the same and the policy Is to wait. Hero In Omaha you think you are very much Inter ested In the war and very much excited about It , but you should be la New York and witness the half-panic which prevallo there. There are a large number of Now Yorkers who fully expect that the city will be bombarded by the Spanish fleet , t have moved my family thirty-four miles Inland to a town In New Jersey , where 1 hope they -will bo permanently out ot reach of shot and shell. " I asked Mr. Johnston what he thought was the principal motive that caused American people to attend performances given by for eign artists. Unanswered : "Curiosity. They llko the music well enough ; Indeed , I think they heartily enjoy It while hearing it , but after they have heard a great pianist era a great vocalist they satisfy themselves by saying , 'I have heard him or I have heard her , ' and when tlo or ahe given another per formance they stay at home. Two years ago I brought Yaaye to this country. He had never been here and proved himself Instantly to be a great artist and everybody flocked to hear him. His western tour was finan cially a most remarkable succeos and every body was enthusiastic. Counting on the impression which he bad made , I brought htm over again this season and while the people who heard him enjoyed bla playing as much If not even more than before , yet that feeling was gone which resulted In packed houses and large box offices receipts. Public curlcslty had been satiated Yiaye had been heard. " The management ot musical enterprises Is t dtacult matter , because ; one can never foretell what the public li going to do. When Mine. Melhft waa hero a few wceki ago thono' ' experienced In nmiucmcnl msttcti | rophtilcd for tier A small hoii ep account of the Hrgo pilco charged for nhaU Yet Iloyd's theater WM well niled and-the receipts at the bax cHlco for the one petttymancc which oho gave . In Omnha were mdro than two-thirds rfs grc t ns were reco veil ln Denver for two performances. Yet. among manaRcrs Denver ' Is looked upon us behig.a . muCh better show ' town than Omaha. " A year ago Mme , Nordlca played to $700 or $500 $ more money than TUBS received at hoc performance la t'December. ' A year ago I Mr. aahtn brought TA this city Oodowsky. a pianist possessed ot considerable technique and a fair reputation , and he made money on the performance.- Encouraged by his suc cess , later on he br'oifehl hero Mme. Car- rcno , ono of the greatest pianists In the whole world , an artistboldohm Godowsky Is but u pigmy , and he'lost money. During the last season Mr. Jr. B , llullcr ot this city has given two scries of organ recitals at Trinity church , and the seating capacity ot , that large ediflco has , as a general thing , ' been Insufficient to accommodate the people who applied for admission. The recitals were ] nominally free , but a collection was taken , I the average contribution being a little over j ! 2 cents a person. At the time thceo recitals were In progress The Dee suggested the Idea ' of making a charge of 10 cents admission , that amount certainly being within the reach , of everyone-who would be likely to appreciate i the recitals and would assist In avoiding the decidedly pernicious effect of free concerts. For reasons best known to the managers of the church , this suggestion could not bo adopted and as a result of the small contri butions the recitals were abandoned. To morrow evening Olr. Kelly will Inaugurate at the First Methodist church a series of organ recitals at which an attempt will be made to carry out the 'financial ' suggestion made last winter by The Dee and the charge ot 10 cents will be made for admission to these concerts. It will be very Interesting to watch the progress of events In their con nection. The attendance upon the concert given Thursday evening by Messrs. Gahm and Albert was ono of the most encouraging signs that has been seen In this locality for a long time. It Is to be hopoJ that It Is not the exception In order to prove the rule. The excellence of the performance , the popularity and high musical standing of the perfjrm- crs no doubt had much to do with the largo audience assembled to listen to their efforts , but fine performances arc often given to empty benches. The music at the exposition this summer la going to afford an opportunity to the Omaha public to educate Itpelf In the art nuth as hES never been presented during the entire history of the city. Wuethet- will be finan cially BUCUSijful or not no one can foresee. Certain unfortunate features regarding Ho management will without doubt have sn em- barricoliiK effect and much of the benefit Is already lent which might have been secured by an active co-operation ot all local musical forces. But In spite of all thcce serious drawbacks the preacnce of a fine ccchcsf.a , of talented and twined sololata and ot the great musicians who are to taVe part In luo Musical congress will affcrd a first cXan op- pcctunlty to tc.-t the musical appreciation or the pu'ollc of the middle west. U seemn strange that It should be so difficult for Hie average person to appreciate the fact that ' good music la as good 'aa bid , and further more that It Is world paying a reasonable amount to hear. There la nj question as to the accuracy of Mr. Johnston's opinion that during the next few years the concert and opeva buslnfru of this country Is to be rev olutionized and platsd upon a different basis. The Ineane prices which have been paid to foreign artists mus'tMbe discontinued If me buslnces Is to live ; It Is a very common thing In Europe for'en , artist who by unlpr- tunate Investments l.as.lost the little wtilch he has saved to make' an engagement lor America. When Herr Vogel. the great Wag- nerlan toner from Hunlsh , made his engage ment with the Metropolitan opera company In New Yosk some-eight or nine years ago he did o > because hepKlil bourjit a large farm a few mllea ou side of Munich and was unab o to pay for It according to agreement.

M. Massenet wt s recently at Tournal and a musical festival was given In hi. ) honor. The principal feature In the program was the orator'cal "La Vlcrge. " The orchestra and chores numbered 400 and were under the direction of Henri do Loosek. Miss Marie Brema , well remembered through her connection with the Metropolitan Opera company of New York , has recently made a great success In Nuremberg aa Orucnhilde and Orpheus. She was Invited by Mme. Wagner to spend Sunday with her. Slma Reevcu , who la now nearly SO years of age , Is slowly recovering from a severe attack of bronchitis. He has been one of the greatest tenors that England has ever produced and even now occasionally flngs In public. . , The management of Covent Garden , Lon don , has been having considerable trouble In finding a successor of Anton Seldl , who was to have conducted the forthcoming per formance of Wagner opera. An effort la be ing made to eccu'-e Hans Rlchtcr of Vienna. Sir * Arthur Sullivan Is reported to be busily engaged In composing the mu&lc tea a new romantic opera to a libretto prepared by Plnero and Carr. W. A. Derrick , formerly of Omhaa , was re cently In London , but boo now gone to Bert- lln and Is studying with Alfred Blume. Miss Reglna de Sales , formerly of this city , eang recently with great uuccess with the Dublin Musical society. At the Oratorio society festival , recently given at Carnegie hall , New York , a dra matic oratorio entitled "St. Chrlotopher , " and composed by Horatio 'Parker ' , was produced for the first time. Mr. Parker la an Amer ican composer and at present at the head of the musical department of Columbia col lege. The oratorio lu severely criticised on account of lack of originality and as being especially dependent upon the Wagner music dramas for thematic inspiration and orches tration. There U no question about the ad vantage to bo obtained by the ( American com poser In studying Wagner's use of the In- etiumont of the orchestra , but the American composer needs quite as much to study his own country , his own people , their feelings and methods of thought. There are plenty of great epochs la our history which may servo as the ground work of dramatic com positions , and Mr. Parker certainly went a great wajti for very little when he took the mediaeval legion of St. Christopher aa the subject ot his oratorio. Rubenpteln once said , "tho piano Is my favorite Instrument because It Is a complete Instrument , while all the others , without ex cepting the human volco , are only parts of Instrumento.

Population In Almoxt Iti a Stntc at ( CopyrlRht , 1805. by the Associated SANTIAGO DE CUBA , via Steamer He- mus , Filed at Port Antonio , Jamaica , April' ! I 29. Don Arser.so Linares Pombo , com- | mandantc general of this division of Cuba , proclaimed four daje ago that every man between 15 and 50 years of age must en roll that night with the volunteers for mili tary oervlce , uader penalty ot arrest and military trial and death. Senor Chucho Man-Juicy , magistrate ot the high court of Santiago and knmvn aa a Intense Spanish , sympathizer , one ot the moot prominent men ' la the city , left for the camp of the Cuban brigadier general , Chivellce. He was ac companied by several kinsmen and his going produced a vivid Impression. The exoduo from the city has continued by night , the Spaniards making no opposition except that a few men have been arrested aa examples. Five thousand persccs have left for the country since the proclamation , four-fifths beng women and children. The Spanish soldiery now assume a bully ing attitude and threaten to kill every Cuban woman left In the city when the blockade begins. When the American fleet appears , as It Is dally expected to , all the noncombatants batants will be expelled. Though the governor of the city , Enrique CaprlllfH , has seized for the government all the large stores of food In private hand" , many shops still do business with small stocks , the prices doubling day by day. Mon day meat was 40 cents a pound , Tuesday 70 cents and today It Is $1 a pound. Other prices In gold today are : Rye , 24 cents a pound ; beans , 21 cents ; flour , 19 cents , and lard , 32 cents. Chickens are | 2 50 apiece. The governor announced today , to quite pub lic alarm , that a ship loaded wth provision1 was expected , but when , where from and what Us name nobody knows. The ctory Is not believed. The Spanish soldiers , and especially the sick , are also abominably fed. About 1,400 sick in the military hospitals here get noth ing except bean soup three times a day , with an ounce ot meat to a plate. Two thousand soldiers In San Luis hospital have had only salt fish this week , and conditions are now so bad that the Spaniards would almost re joice to surrender after one good fight. The preparations for defense go forward , how ever. ever.A new battery has been erected at the west harbor entrance , with four rapid-fire guns , and this correspondent hears , ten or twelve more rapid-fire , small caliber guns will be mounted on Morro and the east side battery. The Morro fort has at least fifty ancient brass cannon , marked 1764. There are re ports about torpedoes In the channel and har bor , but they are confusing. Preparations have certainly been made to lay torpedoes , but whether It has been actually done Is not known. Strong floating mines are ready to be placed. The Spaniards assemble nightly In the chief streets yelling "Long live Spain" and , "Death to the Yankees. " The military authorities seem to have little control of the soldiery and the disorderly elements. Spanish sliver Is at 45 per cent premium. The banknotes Issued by the government bank at Havana are practically worthless and sometimes pass tor 3 to 5 cents on the ' dollar. _ \ow South Ilakota UorunrnflnnH. PIERRE. S. D. , April 30.
