" Augustln Daty'n company Is also presenting a version of the play in which the author In the original work Is defied and the female character made the leading one for the accommodation ot Ada Ilchan , but the production of Mr. MansflciM easily overshadows it for the other very good reason that Mr. Mansfield Is easily the foremost of American actors. Unpleas ant an Is his personality and numerous ns are his personal enemies bis standing In the profession Is recognized by all. "Cyrano do Hergcrac" Is a most ambitious production , requiring forty people In the cnst and by this is not meant a moderate number of ac tors and a wealth of supers but that num ber nho have speaking parts. The play was first produced In the language In which it was written French by the great Voquc- IIn and Mr. Mansfield made a trip to Paris for the express purpose of witnessing the production. The best of critics do not credit Mr. Mans field with so perfect a production , of the romantic , roetlo character as the great Trenchnicn for the very good reason that whllo Mansfield Is artistic and painstaking to the fullest measure , hc Is not of the warm , poetic nature of the character ho Imper sonates. His grcta art In a measure nt'on s for the deficiency and while his Cyrano do Dorgcrac Is not perfect , ho Is safe In the assurance that no one whom American au diences are ever likely to hear will do better. The New York press has never tired of making slurring remarks of the "provinces , " ns It Is pleased to term everything outside the great metropolis. Just now the press of "tho provinces" Is having an Inning and the way it Is Improving the opportunity may have n tendency to start the New Yorkers to thinking. If they ever think about anything outside their ov\n city. The numerous successes of last season which were considered too good to be allowed to depart are now being presented elsewhere nnd with few exceptions are pronounced cither vapid or vlsclous. There would appear < o bo a lesson In the continued success of some plays and the transient glory of others for managers who invest thousands of dollars In bringing out new plays to say nothing of the price paid for the plays themselves. Of all the suc cesses In the drama which have survived a Reason In the great cities and another on the road there Is not ono which has not for Ita moving object a wholesome lesson , oven though some of them do treat of sub jects usually tahcocd. The last week at the local theaters has offered a variety two kinds ono good and ono bad. The Trocadcro presented a good bill , some numbers of which were of ex ceptional excellence , notably La Petite Lund the Juvonllo vocalist ; Dlxon , Bowers and Dlxon , the three rubes , and the Flpoi ! Brothers , acrobats. The Countess von Hatz. feldt , aside from her personality , whllo falrlj clover , would not be an underlined attrac tlon. tlon.Tho The Crelghton 'Was fairly successful will a nice , clean comedy , "Tho Tno Us- cutchcons , " presented In an acceptable man' ncr. ncr.Tho Boyd was the place were extreme ! met. The week opened with "The Ronunci of Coon Hollow , " a melodrama of the clas < which , If it ever had an excuse for exist ence , has worn out its welcome with dis criminating theater-goers. Strange to say however , It was a success from the boxofTici standpoint , principally from the fact tha there were many people In town who slmpl ; . wanted some place to go and were no overly particular where. The latter part of the week was nion fortunate. "Sowing the Wind , " whlcl opened Thursday night , Is a drama nrtfull ; written and whose author had In mind i purpose In writing It. As to Its presenta tton there Is nothing to add to what was sal in reviewing the Initial performance. I was successful financially and deserved to be AlUIOUMCtMUCIltN. The weekly change of bill at the Troi-a dcro occurn at the matinee today. Manage Cole has chosen for this particular week n less than three distinct features. Miss Fl Irwln and Mr. Walter Hawley are the par tlctilar stars presenting their pretty vaudc vlllette , "A Gay Miss Con , " In which Mis Irwln introduces her famous coon song nnd Is abTy assisted by Mr. Hawley. Th little sketch Is announced as being the basl for a play which Miss Irwln is having wrll ten and which she will star next seasor Another feature on the bill is the firs Omaha appearance of the opertalc stars 1 Wilmott Eckert and Emma Berg , who hav long since been recognized as favorites I musical circles.

" U has been generally supposed that : end man with a minstrel company had vc llttlo to do or think about and that all th was expected of him was a song or two , few jokes and sallies which had all be cut and dried beforehand. But for the sa of justice let us compare his work with comic opera comedian's As a rule t comic opera man has his libretto furnish him as well as his comic bongs to ass and a merry chorus to aid him and ov trick properties and other scenic cmbcllls ments. On the other hand "tambo bones , " as the case may be. has to sit in ordinary chair and depend on his v to entertain an audience.

An attraction new to this dry Is to appear at Boyd'H theater Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday evenings , yet through Its repu tation gained In the east during the last two years , as well as the pleasant ) reminiscences of Henry Miller which will occur to the minds of our regular theater patrons , It Is recognized In advance of Its appearance as a high-class organization of great merit. Mr. Henry Miller has recently become a star In romantic plays , and as such has been accorded a prominent place upon the dra matic Btage. His success was Immediate and with his first vehicle , "Heartsease , " which ran 100 nights at the Garden theater , New York , the Initial season of his stellar career was stamped with the positive ap proval of the public. In the matter of sup porting company Mr. Miller has shown that ho appreciates the true value of the dramatic picture by allowing Mr. Charles Prohman to surround him with a cast of superior excel lence. "Heartsease" Is a romantic drama In , four acts. The hero Is Eric Temple , who I has composed a grand opera , through which I , he hopes to win fame and fortune and hereby secure a position to ask for the hand > f the "Hon. Miss Neville , " the daughtoi i of a wealthy nobleman. His love affair pro- 1 grosses favorably , when It Is discovered thai 'Lady Neville , " who Is secretly In love wilt .ho jouLg composer , has paid a number ol his debts without his sanction. The young composer , unable to explain matters , Is or dered from Lord Neville's house In greal disfavor. As he Is about to depart he dis- : overs that his opera has been stolen. Hii ipera Is subsequently produced all the Co- , ent Garden theater under a different title Sir Geoffrey Pomfret , who Is also a sultoi 'or ' Miss Neville's hand , poses as the author The new opera Is going famously. Eric , whc ina been abroad for some time , returns t ( London that night and comes to the open louse to Join his sister. Ho encounters Mlsi Neville in the foyer. While they are en ; aged In conversation the music of the open tails on his ear. He recognizes it , but be lleves he is laboring under an hallucination Suddenly the notes of the song , "Hearth ease , " which had been dedicated to hi ; sweetheart , are heard. Both recognize It tha shadow is raised from the youcg com poser's brain the music , the words of hi own opera surge through his mind. Jus then Sir Geoffrey , who has been recclvlni the congratulations of every one , appears 01 the scene. Eric seizes him and denounce him as a thief , nnd the curtain falls on i scene of Intcnso excitement and striklui dramatic force. The rest of the story Is de vcloped on equally Interesting lines. For Peace Jubilee week the Damm famll orchestra will render beautiful selection every afternoon and evening at the Schllt roof garden. The Wonderland theater offers for th coming week some excellent attractions The management ! Is building up a psrmanen business , not Intending to depart with th close of the exposition. Mr. Robert Demlng , the new stage man nger nt Oulll's concert garden , Is continual ! Introducing and arranging novelties of ol Kinds , and the program for this weel < hooded as it Is by Comedian James T. Kell and Dorothy Carter , Is no exception to th rule. At the close of the performanc Thursday night a monster cake walk v.ll take place , which will Include a number c prize winning contestants. Alonu the It Is one of the most Interesting featun of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition to sc the throngs of visitors to the great Incllr ks gravitating Scenic Hallway. While thot sands of people are constantly passing ] and out the gates , there are as many thoi sand more atandlnc and gazing in wondei ment at the rapidity of the trains ac x- the Joyous shouting of the occupants of tl cais , as they pass around the curve tie through the tunnels , down and up the ste < inclines as if controlled or propelled I some superhuman power. Visitors shou heel not fall to take a ride on Griffith's roa hen ns they will enjoy It and remember It a ol their lives. olve ve O' The proprietor of Schlltz's Pavilion < O'm m the Midway , Mr. Fritz Mueller , has been n gotlatlng with the World's exposition con In j mlcslonors In Paris , Prance , about spa ho ' to put up an American Colony and > c bo' ' tcrday received a reply to his Inqulrl be from ralnlstero du commerce , the comml ils satro general des Etas-Unls a ,1s Exposition unlvcrselle , notifying hi e.

Chlng Ling Fee , the great Chine ? en magician , and his troupe of jugglers a ih- acrobats at the theater are the best ever or brought to the United States.

The Old Plantation b lay tha ilestlnctlon of being the only Mldw lay attraction to entertain a president of t iy- United States at the Atlanta exposition , ai stat the Nashville Centennial. Will Then Inconiooaer and etace manager of the C ) Plantation ehow , Is arranging a epecl.il balad for the president's visit to the Old Planta tion. Ho Is original and unique In his work , nnd his past work guarantees a clever performance for the presidential party. As an additional feature Miss Lizzie Hherrell , the southland's greatest bass soloist , will render a selection especially adapted to the entertainment of the distinguished party. Beginning tomorrow and all the coming week the Ostrich Farm will certainly be a very lively place , as It la plucking week. Tbo birds are all now In full plumage and as they are to be returned from hero to California In three weeks , at the end ot the fair , they must all be plucked , nearly 100 of them , In the next three weeks , as their plumage would be ruined In shipping them back to California. It certainly will be a great sight to exposition visitors. The Ltbby Glass Blowers have a great many admirers at their works to see that wonder , the glass drees , made of glass , also those beautiful glass neckties that are on sale. The souvenirs that their patrons carry homo with them , given to them for their admission tickets , have sent thousands to get one , besides seeing the wonderful work done by the glass blo > vcrs and engravers. You should see their work whllo at the ex position. 1 Dr. Chauncey Dcpew and President Cal- law ay of the New York Central railroad paid the Palace of Mysteries the unusual compliment of two visits within twenty-four hours , nnd were so enthusiastic that each brought large parties to sec the wonderful ! "Lunette. " "Dancing Girl" and "She" Illu- { slons. Each pronounced the show the best on the ground and Dr. Depow added , "You can tell the public I said so. " The Indorse ment of these distinguished visitors Is very gratifying to the management. "Did you have any painting done on 'Trilby' since It came to Omaha ? " asked a lady visitor of the manager of Cooper's won derful painting , "Trilby , " yesterday. "No , why do you ask ? " ho replied. "Well , be cause I have visited It several times and it looks more and more beaultful every time I visit it. I see new things every time 1 view It and I thought peihaps the artist wag here and was working upon it. " She was told that no work has been clone on the picture since It was finished three years ago. Visitors always see now beauties In "Trilby" each time they see it and some make as many as twenty visits. "Trilby" has charmed more than 60,000 people clnce she arrived hero a month ago , and It IE onccded to bo the most refined and attrac- tvo exhibition on the grounds. To visit ho expo and not see "Trilby" Is to miss he most interesting feature. The Streets of All Nations was honored rcsterday by two distinguished visitor torn New York , Hon. Chauncey M. Depew and Hon. Warner Miller , ex-senator froa Now York. Both were extremely pleasec with the nature of the entertainment , anc : lghly spoke of La Bcllo Rosa's act , ever shook hands with her and conzratulatci ler on her success. Hon Depevv said tha La Belle Rosa Is one of the most enilurln ; actresses he has ever witnessed. Owing ti the unparalleled success of the Streets o All Nations In the Sioux City carnival thi management of the Streets of All Nation here has decided to add the Sioux Clt : show to wl-at they have In this exposition which beyond any doubt will render th > EO famous Streets of All Nations at th transmlsslsslppl a show that hcs never am will never be equaled In any exposition Visitors will BCO both shows for the satn old price of admission. Many thousand * of visitors come and g to the Japanese Tea Garden dally. The have only expressions of praise of thel Ulnd treatment and the beautiful curio they find In the curio store there. When one stops to consider the evolutlo of the orchestra and likewise the evolutlo 8 it of the band , the question will naturally pr sent Itself , What will bo the final outcome The orchestra has gradually added Instrt ment after Instrument , and contrary to tt b n old custom strings are now only notlccabl In passages of delicacy or technical brl llancy. The blare of the trumpet , the far fare of the cornets nnd the brassy tone ( the trombone cro rapidly removing the o ] Idea of an orchestra. On the other ham the brass band of our forefathers has bee 7. softened and modified so much by the add tion of purely orchestral Ihstrumcnts th ; the effect is much more soothing and lei startling than it used to be. The conce : band today stands in a rei.iarkablc posltlo : Its open harshness has been softened ar refined by the presence of the oboe , bassoo : the Trench horn , the saxophone and eve the bass viol. In addition to that , the ho low-hearted rumbling of the big bass dru has given way In a large measure to tl Hcntler and more tuneful work of tl tjmpanl , or kettle drums. The repertoire ( the first class concert band ot today Is some thing astounding. Another great advantaj that the concert band possesses Is that It enjoyed and can be heard with eiual faclll Indoors and outside. U seems rash to stai that there Is a possibility of the band of t ( years hence superseding tuo orchestra In great many wavs , but looking calmly on tl tremendous development of band rcsourc the question naturally arises , What Is golt to be done to the oichestra ? Not ono of the bands which rank as fir class In this country IB losing money , b is there anywhere an orchestra which Is < a paying basis ? The band has in It the elements of strong success because there Is somcthli to please everyone from the "Wagnerlai music lover to the man who thlnko t by ' "Forge In the Forest" Is the greatest cot Id position that ever emanated from mori d , pen. The problem is ono of Interest. ill It was a very gratifying night towitne the audiences last Friday night , and t Friday night before , which listened wl erapt attention to the Wagnerlan progra n- { played at the exposition by Innes and I ce'band. ' Every seat provided free by t g. exposition was occupied long before t s concert began , and by 7:15 : o'clock all ava Is. able seats that could be rented were take 1 The applause was most vociferous , and t im I Interest awakened has been evidenced m. ' the number of requests that came Into t ; re bureau of music for compositions of t z's greatest Richard of them all. The expc ; he mcnt of having the concerts at the expo : ve tlon In the Auditorium has met with grc nd succcss. The hall Is well adapted to su ir- music as Mr. Inncs and his band are In t : habit of playing. The exposition chorus Is somewhat Incc vcnlcnced thereby , as they have to hi } 'f their rehearsals In the Boys' and Olt Dy building , which Is not well adapted for t to rehearsals , owing to the fact that the pla ( " Is on the stage and the stage Is not lai se enough to accommodate the chorus. nd . icr What will the Omaha public do when t se exposition Is over is a question that baa be : vy asked a great many times. For those vv lly are Interested In music , there Is ono way which that question might be looked i and ( bat Is what are we going to do for lal auditorium when the exposition Is ov < ty The fact that wo have had ono during t IBS season of the exposition will tend to e ay phaslzo more strongly the absolute need ho a place which contains an organ , and Iso stage built In tiers for a chorus , and w ns , a large seating capacity. It would seem tl ld a. clock comoanv outline uu a bulldloir sul bte for the general uses of an auditorium would make auch a place pay. Of course , the argument which Is used Is the same oM pessimist friend which we have met PO often , namely , the pcoplo would not pitronlzo It. Every time the I Jen has been mentioned In Omaha it has been ridiculed. So was the building of the exposition ridiculed , but tha exposition was built , and it was a trc- mendoue success , and the people beheld and . marveled , spying to ono another , "We did not expect to see such great things done In Omaha , " and these were the people who said some months ago , "Can any good come out of Nazareth , " ( meaning Omaha. ) Some day a public-spirited man who has money at his disposal will be rash enough to build an auditorium as a memorial , and to his In tense surprise ho will discover that the thing Is going to pay , because concerts will bo given , organ recitals will be weekly oc currences , great speakers will bo there , all local entertainments of a high order will rent the place , and the building will turn out to be n pa ) Ing Investment. As it Is now , there Is absolute discouragement for any local musicians to attempt to organize a musical club ot cither Instrumentalists or vocalists as far as accommodations arc con cerned , for the simple reason that the thea ters put a prohibitive price on everything. The theaters are not really so much to blame In the matter , because they must keep a small army of employes , stage hands , | 1 electricians , carpenters , orchestra , ushers , etc. , nnd they cannot afford to rent n buildIng - I Ing for the same price as one would rent an ludttorlum , whoso running expenses are practically nothing , owing to the fact that there arc no scene lofts , no property rooms to look after and no scenes to set. The net of the matter Is the theaters would rather not rent their buildings , because they . ' .o not llko to bo looked upon as extortion ists , and still must charge In such n way 'hat It will contribute to the support of the pay roll. An auditorium could hold Sousa or a week In Omaha , filling the house at every performance , by having ex- urslons from nearby points. Nordlca could be engaged by the management of the auditorium to make moucy for herself and the auditorium company. Organ recitals , ould bo arranged for on a very cheap basis. Would that some ono might take the mat ter to heart and put up a building that .vould be n credit to Omaha. The following article appeared in last Tuesday's Bee : YORK. Neb. , Oct. 3.
