Rt.mdanl erccllcnco Is promlned. The event
of the week will of course bo tiho engage-
jnent of the Kills Opera company , which
will ulng "Carmen" In Trench on Thursday
evening.
Stuart llortion foi some years has prac
tically done nolhlnp that save him a right
to c-onimiiml advance prices at nny Iheatcr
or In any city , but this season ho has re
trieved hlmBclf Ills companies and his
jdas , slnco "Tho Hcnrletla , " have 'been '
jraor save when ho offered revivals and
the enormous following ho built up when ,
lie and Crane > were associated had begun |
to desert him. Had ho been fortunate ,
enough to unearth an acceptable play ho
would not have profited therob } , for the
actors ho VVIIM surrounded with could not
Interpret It satisfactorily. Fortunately for
Sir. Uobson , same kind friend told him that
ho must alter hid methods or be left far
In the rear cf Iho procession. Uast week
ho came lo this city with n company that
( would reflect credit on any slar , whatsoever
Ills standing , and u comc.Iy that was amus
ing , If not nvomlerfully clover. The onthu-
nlasm dlspl.ijed 'by ' his nudlcnco tould per
mit no question as to the wisdom of bin
ourso In strengthening his support and
securing n playvvright of tested ability to
prepare \chlclo for his use. | i
It takes onn back to Iho das of Kobson I
nnd Crane and "Tho Ilcnrlottn" lo nolo Iho '
cordial way In which Mr. Hobson was given
the glad hand this season And ho justly
deserves It , for there are few players who
can provoke laughtci so reidlly and who
nre so liberally provided wllh Iho natural
iharacteilstlcs that make for mirth. The
little Impediment In his speech and slight
lisp are essentially his own , and when one
hears him speak , no mutter what ho flays , It
Is laughable He Is merely his natural self
upon the stage nnd If ho were to try to
lie otherwise he would bo a disappointment.
It used to be that the ability to write a
light comedy of the brilliant sort nbout mod
em society was attributed almost solely to
the playwrights of Paris. Theater-goers
used Instinctively lo look at the title on
the progiam to see fiom what Trench play
had been taken the trlllo of three acts , all
fioth , and } el possessed of a pungency qullo
Blrong and nil Its own. In which the sexes
played or worked out n rlsquo problem of
social ethics lint Mr Thomas' now com
edy , "Tho Meddler , " happily correcls the
notion that vso must go over the seas to got
this sort of thing. It Is as polished , as
pretly and mlQUant a little comedy as ever
o.imo from Paris. Mr. Thomas , who has
given us such dramas as "Alabama , " "In
iMl77ouia , " "Tho Iloosier Doctoi" nnd
olheis , has paid far moro allentlon to con
struction In this play than In some which
luivo recently come frcxm his pen , and again
lie must be congratulated on his proud right
to the title of ono of the leading dramatists
of America The merits of "The Meddler"
consist of the direct manner of the storytelling -
tolling , the avoidance of vulgarity and rough
rnd tumble methods ; then , too , the presence
of any number of brlsht lines must bo
noted , while Ihe attempt at characteilzatlon
nnisl como In for commendation. As a
vvholo the construction Is free from grievous
faults , with the o\cer > ton ! of one or two
pollloqual momcnls , while the finale Is
neatly worked out.
Mr. nobson's company contains many
names alreadj honored on the stage and at
least four of the people who wcro with him
have been stars Marie Burroughs was the
lirlght nnd shining light and shared the
Jionors gracefully with the star himself. Her
jieiformanco of the wife , over whom nil the
pother Is mado. Is about the best work she
lias over done In this city , and she has been
peon hero many times before. It was In
nowise reminiscent of the heavy , dull por-
tonatlons she used to advance She scorns
nlso to have grown younger and even moro
IxMUliful and certainly her corned ) Is betlcr ,
> It Is not too much to claim that she
rtlll has a light to wear stellar honors her
self , which 11 Is announced she will do next
Heason ,
Miss Gertrude Perry was very dainty and
graceful In the part of a ) oung woman of
the nrtlstlo tilbe , whoso love affairs cut a
figure In the part.
Frank C Bangs , Maude Granger and Har-
rold Russell lent n luster lo rather unim
portant parts nnd , In fact , the only ono who
Fcomed to to out of harmony with the au
thor's key of naturalness was Theodore
lUbcock , who played the part of Chandler
In a remarkably bad way IIo was about
n.s affected as a man could have been and
was over objectionably self-conscious , as If
ho fancied he should be admired for his
beau ly.
It Is quite evident from the Interest that
Is being taken In the coming production for
charity of a play called "Tho Rough Mr
ltder , " by local talent , that Doyd's theater
will have another crowd such as attended
the recent local talent affair of the Dlks.
Whnt doubtless adds Intnrest to thH play
i.s that It In from thn pen of n well known
young lady of this city , whose name Is to
bo announced later It deals with the ad-
" .enturea of ono llufus Hydcr , a would-bo
lioro , who pretends to have been fighting
in Cubi with the Hough aiders , when In
fact he was hiding In Wnhoo vvllh an eccen
tric tiKWbpaper man named Ivan , who In
older to deceive Hdcr's family and friends
keeps 1 the newspapers alive with his supposed -
posed deeds of braviry After Hvder returns -
turns home , where ho Is showered with
honor" 1 , he Is alarmed by an article In the
New : York Herald , whloh describes the arrival -
rival of an Infuriated Cuban , who Is looking
for a man b > the name of Hdci that eloped
with hlit daughter. Ilder and Kan have
been 1 Induced lo take charge of a Cuban
If fete , during which the captain of the Poughl
kcopsle 1 Guards Is mistaken for Ihe Cuban.
The general store at Wahoo Is robbed of a
case of canned beef while n.der and Kan
arc them and n crowd of Jay dctecllves
Irnco It lo Hyder , who proudl ) exhibits the i
canned lieef an a troph ) of the war Hdcr , '
to escape the detecllves and Cuban , dls-
guises himself as a French dancing masler
Complications come thick and fast , but
finally overthing Is cleared up b ) llder
confessing Ml Tommy Got ? Is conducting
the tcheat-sals and the company will Include -
cludo practical ! ) the same amateurs that
appeared In "A Night In Bohemia " nlta
MathOAs will create the parl of Mrs Uyder
nnd ns her nblllly Is known , something
worth seeing can be expected In this char-
actor. The Associated Charities nro to be
the bencllclarles of the entertainment.
Admirers of the best In romantic drama
are promised a ticat next Friday and Sat
urday , when that admirable exponent of the
hcrole and chlvalrlc In drama , Robert ft
Mantc-ll , comes lo Uoyd's theater for two
nights and a matinee Friday evening Mr.
Mnntcll and his excellent company will ap
pear In "A Secret Warrant , " n new ro
mance-drama by W A Tremane , suggcsled
by an episode of French history In the
) eir 1720 Saturda ) afternoon Ihe card will ,
bo Mr Manlcll's prime favorlle , "Monbars , '
In which he has appeared over 1.000 limes
Saturdit ) evening Ihe compan ) will present
ono of the most charmliiE dramas of the
most romantic period of French hlstorj , |
"Tho Face In the Moonlight , " by Charles i
Ojborne , founded on n hlstoilcal Inclilcnl in | '
1SU In Iho lalter .Mr Manlell carries two
'star roles , miking the necessaiy changes
of voice nnd costume without detection
The compaii ) comes with numerous accessories
series , superb costumes and a lalented cast
Among the theatrical people who are In
let esllng Inlkors there nre few , If nny , more
so than Stuart Robton , and while In this
city last week ho unbowomed himself , In
the course of a half-hour's chat with the
write ? , on n number of subjects of Intercut
to theater-goers Speaking of the rage for
vaudeville , ho said
"Vaudeville Is only one of the crazes of
the time. You know theater-goers have
some peculiar notions One season It will
bo romantic plays they want , the next
Shakespearean plays , then comedies , nnd in
my opinion vaudeville Is the result of Just
sucCi B notion , and If It lasts It will be
a miracle. The limit has about been leached
In the knockdown nnd dragout acts , so to
speak They can do but little more than
has been done In this line and now that
they are presenting one-act pla > e It may
prolong the life of It for a time , but there
Is so much sameness to II that It cannot
compete with the drama. Of course It Is
cheap , which Is a great deal In Its favor ,
but my experience with Iho American tbcn-
tei-goers , and It has been of forty jcars
duration. Is that they do not quibble aboin
the price If you give them something that
v til please them.
"What do I think about the unusually laige
number of vulgar plays that are being pro
duced In America this season ? Well , I
think It Is the people's fault that these
playa nro put on and I think so long as they
are patronized Just so long will they con
tinue to live. Right here let me say that
In this matter the church could do some
good work and I think In many wns the
church and theater uro getting closer to-
gethci each year , and one can help the
other It they only will. Playwrights , as a
rule , novvadas are writing plays that are
uplifting In their general tone and character
and I think If ministers would keep In
formed on Iho plays of the time and keep
their congregations advised as to whether
they are fit for their daughters and sons
to sco or not It would be a boon to the
actor as well ns the theater goers
"Such plas as 'The Sign of the Cross. '
'Tl'o Chrlsllan' and 'Tho Little Minister'
bring a class of people to the theater that
never attend at any other time and I am
sure that the regular theater-goers ntlond
ns well. These plas are sermons In them
selves.
"Who Is my favorite actor ? Well , I don't i
know that I have any particular favorites , |
but I admlro Henr ) Irving very much 1 i
think his life has been one of the grandeit
of any of the actors. You know , he Is very
charllably Inclined , so much so lhat I doubt
If he should die today If he would leave |
$10.000. Ho nlvvajs has any number of
old , broken down actors upon his pay roll
that perhaps he uses not oftcner than a
few times a year , but nevertheless he pajs I
them regularly Another thing that makes '
Irving practically poor Is that he spends
BO much money on his productions , which
are nlwas very elaborate. |
"Do I over expect to retire' Not as long
ns my health permits mo to acl. I am fil
joar.s old , but do not feel more than 40 and
I shall continue to try to amuse the people ,
unlll I die. "

MUSIC.
The news of the sad an * unexpected
death of Doctor MoQuold. who for the last
few I jears has occupied the pulpit of the
First ] Methodist church , was .1 severe blow
to I the people of Omaha , but especially did
It I strike with cutting force the membership
of < his church , and more particularly the
choir
In ihese dajs there Is a grow Ing tendency
to \ look upon the church choir In a some
what mercenary -nav , nnd to consider that
those i persons who oceup ) the seats In the
choir loft are there slmpl ) to nhow off their
musical ; ablltt ) , and that they arc alto
gether , beneath and Incapable of the higher
spiritual plane experienced b ) the congrega
tion , which Is unado tip of the same llesh
nnd blood , anil not n bit better than the
choir , take It through and through
AVhy this Idea should have gained In an
Intelligent age Is a mjsterj. Hut that It
has cannot bo denied. The musp | of a
church Is ono of the most Important fea
tures , of the services Pt > eple who are lovers
of music to the extent of attending rehearsals -
sals onoo or twice a week and regulaily
twice eveiv Sunday nro not very far from
the Kingdom of heaven , If their alms are
sincere , their hearts are right , and their
work Is honest. Music draws out the best
that Is In n man or woman nnd the poetic
disposition Is easily handled , If ono knows
how to handle It. The Uuc musical dispo
sition Is loving , kind , smpalhellc , forglv-
ng and generous. It Is easily moulded be
cause It Is emotional Still the choristers
of the present day are considered "cranks , "
and , after all , what Is a crank but a person
who Is as firm In his was as we are in
ours If wo could admit the good points
n others as well as we can in ourselves It
voiild be a pleasant world to live In.
Ml of which thoughts conic to one's mind
when the fact has ) been emphasl/cd thai
) octor McQuold has passed awa ) He Is not
lead he slcepeth , we are told and may ho
lave the dreamless rest which ho so de
serves. As to his choir. It will sing on
Hastei dn ) "Leave Us Not , Neither For-
bake Us. O ( Sod of Our Salvation " Little
lid the > think how \cry appropilate those
words would be on this occasion Hcsurrec-
tlon anthems will fill the house of worship
i ml glad buists of triumph will hall the
d.iwn of rcsurtcctlon the grand triumphal
celebration of the Christian church It will
be hard for the choir to forget Its own
grief In the general jubilation of the gieat
loctilne of the resurrection , but the service
will be as Doctor McQuold would have
wished It. And wh > this grief and wh > this
sorrow over the death of a clergman' >
Simply this- The cerginan : who has now-
been called to another conference had In
iilm that broad , full , artlbtlc comprehension
nnd he knew the possibilities of influence
on the artistic minds of his choir. This
organization , composed of members of other
denominations , not being confined to the
Methodist church , has known and loved the
synipathellc hearl of him who Is no longer
their pastor The members ha\o felt that
he considered them his best helpers , and
his warmest friends , when In the pulpit. In
stead of being a separate organisation which
was to sing an anthem and go home , and
then come back next week and do the same
Di McQuold was a magnificent example
of what a clcrgjman should be from the
choir's standpoint , and thai his tender , lov
ing disposition Influenced his choir to hear
and profit bj his practical , forcible and sen
sible sermons Is not a matter of doubt. It
Is a pleasuie to note this feeling which
existed In the First Mcthodlsl church , nnd
It Is hoped that all churches will soon get
a grasp on the right way of handling choirs ;
then the result will be one of great satis
faction and lasting pride
