AMUSEMENTS. I
The now pla > s , which before the opening
of the acaon were heralded as so full o !
promise , have not OK a rule como up to the
standard of the managerial announcements
One which the Frohmnns had brought ou' '
elaborately , "Little Miss Nobody , " was
HOvercly criticised nt Philadelphia and wo-
transferred to Baltimore In the hopes tha
change of atmosphere might revive It , bu
without BUCOCRB. and the company will b (

while It has done fair business In Nev
York , was treated rather roughly by thi
critics This lies been the story of tnos
of the pretentious new plays Some o
last year's New York successes , notnbl ;
"The romiufrors " which was brought t <
Chicago , have been unmercifully scored ni
carrying the problem play far beyond thi
borderland of decency Outsldo critics taki
the same view of the run of the new ploy

With the more pretentious new produc
tlons as a rule being set down as dramatl
failures or bad In their tendencies th
lesser lights have as a rule been fortunat
in their selections and bavo broucht ou
some choice , clean drama and are reapln
their reward. Another noticeable featur
ot the jet joung season Is the phenomena

the plays which have been reigning favor

Modjcska Is Bald to be contemplating

IB best fltteil to Interpret this fasctnatln
character. It Is promised that In case it I
finally decided to produce It her nri Is t

Omaha la not alone In the matter of larg
attendance at theaters. Prom almost ever

town , , famusements with nn nppetlto whet
ted by a period of abstinence. The Improve
ment in the business situation Is also
moving cause.
The lost week has , kept up the rccor
of the ono which preceded It In the way c
phenomenal business nt the local places c
amusement. All places looked alike to tli
crowds of people who were In the city. Tli
Woodward Stock company nt the Cielghtoi
with an excellent presentation of a fin
drama , "Lost Paradise , " the Trocndcro , wit
nn exceptionally good vaudeville bill , and tli
Hoyd , with its second week of "Hogan's A
Jcy , " all drew crowded houses. There ai
legitimate reasons for the success ot th
first two , but a dcslro to go somewhoi
nlono can account for a production Ilk
"Hogan's Alley" running two weeks.
Outsldo of the amusement feature llttl
Miss Gertie Cochran , one of the attraction
lost week nt the Trocadero , Is worthy <

She Is not ) n "child wonder" In the sens
that she has the Instincts and manncrlsn
of nn adult , but Is Just like other brlgl

her memorj any fact , date , event or colle <

at will. It would seem to be Impossible tin
such a faculty at her ago should bo tl

KM the Mexican band Enter the Inncs
hand.
For sl\ weeks the musical people who
have visited the exposition have had n treat.
The concerts which have been Riven by the
Mexican band have elicited the hearty ap
plause and sincere commendation ot all who
arc Interested In the better class ot musical
composition * . The band , governed as It Is
under the strict laws ot military discipline ,
Is obliged to attend regular dally rehearsal ,
whether the members may need It or not.
With tha carctut guidance ot the highly
educated maestro , Hlcanlo Pnchcco , these
rehearsals are used for the production ot a
repertory which would seem to be endless.
Captain 1'acheco Is a thorough musician ,
well versed In the music ot all schools. Ho
conducts with equal case and Interprets
with absolute accuracy. The suite "Scenes
I'lttorcBques" ot Massenet , the "Paellacd"
prologue ot Leoncavallo , and the "Tann-
hauser" overture of Richard Wagner ,
thereby showing a great fund ot musical
knowledge , playing such widely different
compositions , each a supreme masterpiece
of one of the thrco great modern schools
The band Is composed ot forty musicians
vho lead an Ideal existence. It Is quite
a common mistake to suppose these Mexican
oldlcrs have a very bird time , but from
nformatlon obtained from the most reliable
ourco It appears that they arc treated with
great consideration and they thoroughly en-
oy life. It Is truly wonderful to see them
lay some of the standard operatic fantasies
The emotion that IB displayed , In such ma-
erlallstlc Instruments as the cornet , trom-
> on § , and c\en the kettle drums when Ir
ho hands of their respective owners anil
musters , Is astonishing. On Wcdncsdaj
night last "Tro\atoro" was played. Th <
ones which emanated from the trombone Ir
playing the "Prison Scene" were beautiful
chety , and more like the rich diapason o
an old mellow organ. The trombone sololsi
s the sergeant of the band. The plccolc
eololst Is also a wonder on his Instrument.
The band has made a magnificent Inv
presslon icon the visitors of the exposl <
.Ion and especially upon all those who an
ntirestecl In music of the high grade , am
it Is with feelings of great regret that thi
word soodbic Is said. The peculiar unl
forms , with the nodding plume , the tas
sele < l chevron and the mysterious llttli
black bac , have gone. "La Paloma" wll
doubtless bo played hero again by othe
bands , but it will never be the "La Paloma'
of the last six weeks. The "Golondrlna1
plajed by any other band will be lacktni
In Its own Intensity. The gallant captain
with his fascinating bow , his magnctl
charm In conducting and his cap , nlway
a little to one side of bis head , will n
longer grace the beautiful structure whicl
stands on the Grand Plaza , a monumen
dedicated to art.
And so , the Mexican band has gone an
once more Mexico will be bright wit' '
music , and for us as far as the Mexico
band Is concerned "Darkness again and ;
Bllencc. "
But while the Mexican band leaves , Inne :
the creat bandmaster of New York , ar
rives and will give his opening cancel
today at 3:30 : p. m. Mr. Innes Is a ma
of stronc personality , very magnetic an
very commanding. He Is a fine musicia
and an excellent conductor , making hi
personality felt by all those who come 1
contact with him. He plays programs c
the very best order. Ho knows how to catc :
the people and will be fully as popula
as Sousa would bo. He has with him som
very fine solo Instrumentalists and Mr. Inne
himself Is a celebrated trombone sololsl
In fact , ho made his debut In the musics
world with that Instrument.
The Choral congress , which was to ha\
been held In connection with the expoiitlo
nit this very time , had to bo abandoned fo
three reasons. First , the fact that advan
tageous railroad rates could not be secure' '
Second , because a great many people wh
had decided to como changed their plan
when they heard of the Peace Jubilee , nn
th fact that the president of the Unite
States was to bo here. Third , the dlscourag
Ing apathy which seems to exist when an
educational musical feature Is attempted
The exposition management has been writ
ten to and preached nt about the glorlou
opportunity for developing art , and the e\po
sltion management has already bhovvn tha
It Is willing to do anything to advance th
cause of art by sinking many thousands c
( Jollars In concert work. It Is urged noi
that this Is the time to glvo concerts. Tha
the people will go to them now , but un
one who is a judge of human natiuo an
who Is at all Interested in watching th
crowds will find out with certainty that 1 * I
Impossible to get an audience to stay quU
In one place for nn hour or an hour nn
a half In any entertainment. Cven th
band concerts have a fluctuating audlenci
The Auditorium , during the organ rccitali
holds an audience of about 800 from start t
finish , but that 800 changes Its Identity aftc
every number. The people are restless , the
are on the move to see all they can In n
short a time ns possible. Therefore the
will go In and hear one number of a concei
merely to bo able > to go bat U homo nn
say they have heard such and such a or
play or sing. The exposition crowds ni
not seriously disposed. They are out for
good time und they don't want education.
And speaking along this line , a gre :
many Omaha musicians have complained bli
terly because they have not reclved en ngi
monts , because the management does n <
run a series of symphony concerts and son
recitals for the benefit of a few artists an
an audience of I'bout 150 people , and yi
singers who are known to donate their sen
Ive to many events of minor Importanc
that take place In Omaha have attached I
their service for Iho exposition a price whlc
they were never known ho have received IK
