mm THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STNDAV , JITXE 11 , 1899. 15 | AMUSEMENTS. f I There was a noticeable decrease In the n tendance flt the theater * last -week , reef - of the fact that the two that were open offered vaudeville bills well up to the standard This lack of attendance -would Indicate that local theater-goers arc willing nnd anxious to rest after a long season of high-priced attractions , and then In this hot weather Itwould take an attrpctlon of more than ordinary merit to bring them out In nny numbers. Vaudeville seems to take well in Omaha and many of the theater- peers like It , but there ore not enough ot them who do to support two first-class houses , especially during the summer months No one realizes thin fact nny moro fully than Manager flosenthal of the Or- pheum and slnco his return ho has Intima ted that he will recommend the closing of this theater during the summer months , thus saving the money It certainly would Inso to put Into better attractions for the coming season. A resort where refreshments are nerved , If conducted upon the flrst-claRS plan that the Trocodcro Is , should thrive at this irnson of the year and there should be no reason for Us not remaining a permanent summer feature. What Omaha Is ripe for Just at present is a good burlesque house. People here have seen little , or practically none , of this now form of amusement that Is creating so much cnthUHlasm In the cast and aA lie manager could fatten his exchequer ma terially by Introducing It here. Following closely the cablegram sent to the Dramatic Mirror last week by Augustln Daly asking that paper to deny the stories published In the dally press regarding his III health came the announcement from Paris of his death there on Wednesday aft ernoon , June 7. At his theater in New- York , as well an nt all of the clubs and hotels , the news was read with the deepest rcgrot. The Information was received nt Ms theater In a dispatch from Miss Ada Ilehnn to Dr. Dorney , Mr. Daly's manager , ( which said : 'VMr. Daly died today at 2 o'clock , heart failure ; break the news to his brother and sister. " Mr. Daly sailed for England on May 13. Ho had been In poor health for some time , nnd his physician warned him that he must ntop work and begin n summer's rest at once , or the consequences would be serl- oui. Ho accordingly started for England much earlier than ho had Intended Mrs. Daly nnd Miss Ada Rehan went with him. Jt was the plan that Mr and Mrs. Daly should bo the guests of Miss Rohan nt her homo In Cumberland for a considerable part of the summer. Aiiguntln Daly Tvaa born In Plymouth , IN. C. . on July 20 , 1S38. but his childhood and youth were passed In Now York. Ho began his career In I860 , at the ago of 22 , as an editorial writer and dramatic critic for the New York Sunday Courier , but soon , ( without relinquishing journalism , ho made Ills nrst prominent adventure as a play wright. On December 8 , 1862 , his adaptation of Mosenthal's "Deborah , " entitled "Leah , " rwas brought forward at the Hoston museum , with Miss Kato Batcman as the leading woman. It made a remarkable hit , nnd In January , 1863 , Mies Bateman brought it out nt Nlblo's theater , Now York , where it had n run of nine weeks. That pleco has kept the stage , and it Is still occasionally acted. Of Mr. Daly , William Winter , ono of the ( best Informed dramatic writers of the day , lias the following- say In the New York Tribune : "The death of Augustln D-xly removes the most distinguished flguro among the dramatic managers of America , slnco the time of Les ter Wnllnck. and the most now erf ul nnd most Important Intellectual force that has TJCOII opcrant In the American theater since the best days of Edwin Booth. Mr. Daly mas animated by the highest ambition , nnd In all his rotations with the staco ho was conscious of a solemn responsibility and ncted from motives that were conscientious nnd noble. The early part of his career as a manager was , naturally , marked by Bomo wlldnesa of experiment , but ho soon ' obtained a firm control of the business , nnd of his resources , nnd shaped the clear policy of aiming at the best , nnd from that pur pose he never deviated. Ho gathered the ablest men nnd iwomen In the dramatic pro- fesslon ; ho presented the best plays that wore available ; he made the theater im portant , and he kept It worthy of the sym pathy and support of the most refined taste i nnd of the beat Intellect of his time. His fertility of resource seemed inexhaustible. He was quick to decide , and the energy with which ho moved. In the execution of his plans , -was all the more splendid because It was never deranged by tumult nor marred by ostentation. As long ns ho had n Hncly Intelligent public ivlth which to deal , and _ , until the actors of the old school began Fto die nwny , giving place to the cohorts / of the drawing room , he touched nothing that did not succeed. Ho has earned n great renorwn , and ho has left an Imperlsh- nblo example. His character was marked by some eccentricities for he liked to hide tils virtues nnd to seem Indifferent and : Inrd , but It was n thin disguise. Ho had ; encountered much selfishness and much In gratitude , nnd his experience had made him ctern In Judgment nnd somewhat cold nnd ' nuaterc in manner : but those who knew him well knew that his probity was like a rock : nnd they will remember him now , as a man of perfect honesty , of Inflexible prin ciple , of n most affectionate heart and of a temperament marked by singular sim plicity , generosity nnd tenderness. The pas- elon of his llfo was to deserve true suc cess nnd beneficent power In his vocation by the genuine and unquestionable merit of his deeds. His llfo was completely free from pretense nnd flurry. Ho had a dis tinct design nnd he worked for Its accom plishment with nn Industry that never elcpt. " Ooorgo Bowles , manager of the Alice Nlel- Bcn Opera company , spent last week In Omaha , having coma from Chicago directly nftcr the close of Miss Nielsen's engagement In that city for the purpose of starting Miss Jessica Duncan , who formerly sang In the "Foitune Toller. " upon her vaudeville tour In speaking of Miss Nielsen's local engage ment nnd her future plans Mr Bowles said "Omaha was the farthest point west that no reached during the season and the gen erous patronage we received here was cer tainly appreciated by us and wo bollovo Rllss Nielsen was npprechtcd by vour theater-goers The only thing wo did re Bret was that we were unnblo to remain for a longer tlmo. The enthusiastic reception accorded Miss Nielsen and the company was only a repetition of what It was everywhere olee. In all of my theatrical experience I cannot recall the name of any other etar who made , during the first season , such an Impression upon tha theater-going public n did ftllss Nlel- EOII I am eorry to gay that It will in all probability bo n couple of ) enrs before Omaha will have another opportunity of bearing her sing. A week ngo last Satur- / < ! > Frank L. Perley closed n five years' \contract with her , and the program for the next two seaBona was mapped out. The coming season tlie will have a new opsra ' 'ahe The music will be by Victor Herbert , the lyric * by Harry B. Smith nnd the Book by BtanUlas Slnnge. The name of It has not been definitely settled upon , but will be one of the following three , at present under consideration , 'The Singing Olrl , ' 'The Little if .Minstrel' and 'Tho Street Singer.1 Our sea- ion will open In Montreal , Canada , October 2 V 'e will take four weeks to reach New- York , playing during that time all of the principal cities between Montreal and there , ' TJ * - Tr IF T f * T * ' | nnd will open nt the Casino October 30 for nn Indefinite run At the close of the run I "Hie Fortune Teller will be revised foa j short time , and then wo BO to London to ( open there on Raster Monday. From Lon don wo go to I'arU to remain during the ex position So It will probably be 1001 before your theater-goers will hear the 'Singing GlTl , ' which will Include practically the same cast as did 'The Fortune Teller. ' The locale of the now opera will be Austrian. Richard Mansfield has the reputation of having a temper the equal of which Is pos sessed by no other theatrical star on the American stage , and In order to sustain It ho created quite n lively llttlo scene In his dressing room nt 'Milwaukee ' ono evening last week. Cyrano de Bergernc's nose was the cause of It all. Mr Mansfield had com pleted his toilet , all but putting on the celebrated nose The curtain was ready to go up , but James llcebe , Mansfield's dresser , could not find the Important adjunct to the make-up. Everything was overturned In the search , hut the nose remained bidden. The star actor was frantic , the weather was hot nnd his temper ditto. The next thing the people on the stage knew Bcebe came hur riedly out of the dressing room holding hla Jaw. where Mansfield had , lie claimed , planted a sharp blow. The nose was found , but the dresser hurried from the theater to the police station in pursuit of a warrant for Mansfield. Ho could not get ono until morning , nnd ho went away breathing \engcnnco on the actor. The few persons who witnessed the trouble refused to eay anything. Later mutual apologies were ex changed and the pursuit of a warrant was dropped. Dresser Beebo took his old place , but will doubtless look more closely after Cyrano's nose hereafter. A man of many duties Is Manager "Jake" Roscnthal of the Crclghton-Orpheum nowa days. The opening of Falrmount park In Kansas City an a summer amusement resort was under hla Immediate direction , and he will bo compelled to give the enterprise much of his time until It Is brought to a close In the fall Last Wednesday he re turned to Omaha after an absence of nearly three weeks , nnd wont to Kansas City again the next day Frequent trips between hero and Kansas City will doubtless bo the order of the summer. During his absence Mr. Rosenthal spent the greater portion of his tlmo at West Baden , Ind. This was the first vacation ho had enjoyed In two years of close attention to business , and wan taken only after hla physician had positively commanded re luxation. While at the baths he fell In with a delightful and delighted cotcrlo of old- tlmo circus and theatrical men who had known him In their business when he was a bright and aspiring jouth. Only the ut most firmness of mind prevented Manager Roocnthal from losing the rest he had been sent to seek. iAs It was , ho did not have much of an opportunity to enjoy tne pleasures of solitude with such Jolly com panions about him as Lew Dockstoder and W. H. West , the mlnstrcla He also met Johnny Ray of "A Hot Old Time" and Law rence Hanley , the actor. In renewing old acquaintanceships Mr. Rosenthal succeeded In gaining several pounds of flesh , which ho trusts will not bo altogether worn away by the fast llfo which he expects to lead on the flyer between Omaha nnd Kansas City dur ing the summer. Conilni ; Invents. The features which will be presented nt the Crelghton-Orpheum this afternoon have been chosen with special attention to their fitness as summer attractions. A wide di versity of acts has been secured and these nro nil of a light and airy order , which will doubtless win instant appreciation. Many of them have been roof garden fa vorites In the larger cities.

Emmett Is a musical ventriloquist who presents by him self a sketch entitled "A Musical Court ship , " which Is described as being not only unique , but highly amusing as well. Lorciu and Allen , eccentric comedy dancers , will complete the bill. Two theatrical celebrities , seen here many times In the legitimate theaters nn stars of big companies , head the bill at the Trocadero this week. They are Charles A Loder , the American-German dialect come- dlan , and Charles Grapowln. Mr. Loder Is I remembered hero last as the star of "Oh What a Night" and "McFadden's Row o Plats. " His most recent hit was with Weber & Fields' "Pousse Cafe " His char- Aeterlzatlon of the humorous Dutchman Is n most clever bit of work. Charles Grape- win was here as the star of "A Baggage Check , " "A Railroad Ticket" and other clever farce comedies. In vaudeville Mr Grapowln Is seen In a comedietta "A MIs- mated Pair.

A gentleman sitting In the same vehicle Introduced the organist to his wife , who was also there , and she In turn said : "I want you to meet my brother John. Ho was at the rocltnl last night and he loves music. Everybody knows him as John , and so must you. " Well , John began to talk about the music which ho had heard from time to time , and In the next few mlnutos he and the mu sician were completely at ease In each other's company and John was talking en thusiastically about the last tlmo he was In Omaha. "I always go to that church where they have the chimes , " said he , "and I like to hear the music there. I am very happy In this life and I take things easy as they comn I live part of the year with one brother and ' part with another , part with a sister , and so on. " John looked at his auditor very . earnestly , and while talking he seemed to gaze wltli an unusual Intensity as It to see whether his remarks were heard nnd understood. "I remember ono concert. " ho said , "that I beard at the Congregational church Mrs. sang a solo and there was a fine pro fessor at the organ Oh , that was grand music. It just seemed as If the whole world was getting better , and as If heaven was getting nearer to earth. I forget what they played but " At this juncture the coach stopped and , with some surprise , the organist noticed that the devoted sister was helping John out of the vehicle nnd that John carried a staff and walked slowly , leaning dependently on the sympathetic arm which was extended to him , so hastening to his friend ho asked what was the matter. "Did you not notice ? " was the reply , "Why , he Is stone blind. " On arriving at the station It was discov ered that nn engine on n northbound train was off the track at a switch , and ccntc- the southbound pa eonger could not proceed Aa the truth dawned upon the Omaha peopi'e and others going west from the terminus of that branch line that they would bo obliged to stay In Crcston over night- the expressions were not of the most amicable nature they were beginning to grow somewhat Eganesque when the gentle volco of John was heard humming a bar or two of music and the sweet , patient look on that beautiful face was a reproof not to be forgotten. And It was not until John was told that ho would have to go back and wait until the next day before making his'trip to Springfield , Mo. , that a cloud came over his features , for he has the most childlike love foi < travel. But it was only momentary , for the sunshine was back again , and as the organist pressed the hand cf John and said "Good-bye , John , God bless you , " the ear nest grasp and the thanks for the music which be bad heard were so warmly given by4 this messenger of patience and hope and gentleness and peace that the organist forgot to ay "thank you. " Ho tried to do so several times , but there waa something In the vocal apparatus which would not work and crowded back the words that would fain have come. The las I seen of John was the figure of Surely no teacher of merit and experience will refuse to do so. I , for one , am willing to appear on a con cert program to be known only as n "teach ers' concert , " this entertainment to be given in one of the best cuurches where there Is a good pipe organ. Now , I do not mean to give a free- concert , but charge a moderate admission , say CO cents , the ex penses of this entertainment to bo paid out out of the receipts and the remaining pro ceeds to go to soma charitable Institution. Then there nro other reasons for giving this entertainment. We may then see bow- many people wish to show their apprecia tion of the teachers. Of course wo have a great many people In Omaha who are musical and study music as an education as well as for their great love of the art. But , alas" " they are In the minority. Wo have a number of teachers In Omaha ( I judge ac cording to my knowledge about half a dozen ) whose names are sufficient to guar antee a first-class concert. I trust you will give this matter your careful consideration and Join me In this happy thought of bringing the teachers to gether In the near future for an evening of music and pleasure. Most harmoniously. A. DELMORE CHENEY. The advantages of the plan are numerous , and at first glance It occurs to one that It would tend to bring together the teachers who know each other but very slightly , If at all. This talk which one hears BO fre quently about teachers fighting- and quar reling and all that Is largely the result of a preconceived Idea In the minds of some that they should agree to disagree. There Is moro harm done In this and every town by pupils of teachers than by teachers them selves. Of course , there must be and tloubthws are some teachers who encourage gossip amongst their students , but none of the best teachers do so. They think too much of themselves and of their pro fession. The real mischief made amongst musl clans Is largely to bo laid at the feet of that despicable and ignorant and conceited individual the "tramp" pupil , The writer was asked for a definition of the turm "tramp" pupil , and the best answer ho could thing of at the tlmo was "everybody's pupil and nobody's student. " The definition still holds good. Mr. Cheney's scheme would have a very- strong effect in ameliorating the ethics of the profession and in drawing the line be tween professional and amateur affairs. They arc as distinct as physicians and druggists , and there Is need of both. THOMAS J. KELLY. An organ recital will bo given today at Trinity cathedral by Mr J E.

Next to him stood the late Thomas John Harper , who died a llttlo wlillo back , aged SO. Ho had been sergeant trumpeter to the queen throughout her reign , nnd for fifty odd years trumpeter to the lord mayor of London. He bounded the trumpet when William IV was crowned , also at the coronation nation of Queen Victoria , at the birth of all her children , at the weddings of the princess royal ( Empress Frederick ) and the prince of Wales , Indeed at all the royal weddings Of course , ho had many decorations , among them , the Jubilee medal , bestowed by the queen herself Where many are superlatively excellent It Is hard to choose , yet among German mil itary bands the first place must be awarded to the band of the First Grenadier guards , whoso conductor Is the negro , Sabac-El- Chor. Ho IB German born , complexion to the contrary notwithstanding His father , n native of lower Egypt , came from Cairo In the sulto of Prince Albrecht , brother to old Emperor William. The son , born In 18C7 , was a musical prodigy. At 9 he played In public on the violin. Before ho was 20 lie woe In the regimental bands playing on the oboe and trombone. In 1895 ha became bandmaster , and in the post has won ever- increasing fame. Vienna's favorite band Is that of the Fourth Infantry , known otherwise as the Imperial Austrian band , which Americans heard at the World's fair. It Is not gener ally known that Its lender , Zlehrer , was couit-martlalcd when ho got homo for over staying his leave , seduced thereunto by the clink of good American dollars. He lias hew ever , been iclnstnted. Ho has many frTends nnd patrons at court , though none now living Is so much the friend and so llttlo the patron as was the luckless Crown Prlnco Rudolf When the Dutch crowned their fine young queen , of course Holland's premier band that of the Grenadier Yagero , was very much In evidence. Its leader la N. A. Bouw- man , a musician of the younger school , who 1m 1 contiol not only of his band , but of all the coronation music. No light task you will admit , when you hoar that he had In charge over 1,200 military musicians , soiflf 2,000 trained singers , male and female , and a grand chorus of 17,000 children All thes ho kept well In hand , rendering earcnadoa and choruses both nt Amsterdam and The Hague , and accompanying the voices with hU own band , as though It was but a hlnglu wonderfully varied Instrument. Not falls- fled with that , he composed two marches , ono military and ono triumphant , both of which It U needleoi to add nro dedicated to the young queen of Orange-Nassau. H may surprise many to learn that John Philip Sous i Is an American , born , of all places , In the city of Washington , something moro than forty years ago. Almost by thn tlmo he could talk ho began making music. | At 19 he conducted an orchestra , before he I i was 20 ho played as first violin In the famous J ' orchestra which Jacques Offenbach took all over the country. In 1SSO , unsolicited , there came to him an offer of leadership In the United States 'Marine ' band. Ho accepted the offer and soon made It rank among the finest military bands In the world After ten years he left the government service to organize a band after Ideas of his own Everybody knows the result how he hao Invaded every province of harmony and brought strings , brass and wood to sound In the finest ac- cord. He has competed tuneful operas , but the title of "March King" fits him best His marches are now played by above 18,000 , Greater America Exposition. TO B [ HELD AT OMAHA , NEB. , I ) . S. A.
