§ AMUSEMENTS. f
The dramatic event of the season IE easily I
the production by nichard Mansfield ot I
"Cyrano do Ilergerac. " 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

The weekly change of bill at the Troi-a

Cole has chosen for this particular week n
less than three distinct features. Miss Fl

Irwln introduces her famous coon song

Another feature on the bill is the firs

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. Take for Instac
i monologlst llko Low Dockstader as
rnd man and a comedian llko George Prli
rose. They must continually keep abre :
of the times and up on the current top
of each locality In which their company ra
be plajtng and as a rule It keeps them bu
originating new basinets , so that their si
ings may not get stale and become chc
liutty. Truly the lot of an up-to-date ml
strel M not such a rosy one after all.

finest , largest and most complete companies

It Is full ot incidents presenting the ludi
crous side of human nature and has met

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

stat the Nashville Centennial. Will Then
Inconiooaer and etace manager of the C )

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

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

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.

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.
