AMUSEMENTS.
As a whole the last * eek In lival thi-a-
triral dcrle * was n rather dull one ' H "
can o She J/ovecl Him So , " one of William
Olllo.te'fl mcst recent comedy gucreaies ,
was ploanlnK In fact , few hotter legitimate
comedies have been seen hero In lale years
- but. unfortunately , the ensaKompnt fel1
upon Sunday and was limited to two per
formances upon that ono day , thus depriv
ing many of the opportunity of seeing It.
The Scalchl concert proved n treat for
Biutlc lovers , The Ulks' benefit entertain-
eirnt furnhhed two nights of first-clans
amateur entertainment , while thn week's
vaudeville hill wao one of the best seen
during the present season. "I'hroso , " Ed
mund Rofio'B dramatization of Anthony
Hope's novel by the same name , proved
one of the greatest disappointments local
theatergoers have suffered In some time.
Coming , ns It did , under Charles Krohman's
management and with Odctto Tyler , nn , ir-
tlwt of known reputation In the leading
role , theatorgoero naturally expected one
of HIP treats of the season and their disap
pointment was keen.
What llttlp favor "I'hroso" may find with
thi < public will be only through the pres
tige of Anthony Hope ns a romnnllc writer.
Whntrvcr the romance upon which It Is
founded may be , the play Itself shows none
of the strong cohesive and dramatic force
that might fairly bo expected from the
nuthor of "Tho Prisoner of Zonda , " nor
nny of the fine frenzy of social satire which
the genuine comic power of "Tho Dolly
Dialogued , " themselves practically undi
gested comediettas , and "Tho Adventure
of Lady Ursula" gave good reason to an
ticipate. In fact , "I'hroso" Is n bitter dis
appointment , and shows , if over a play did ,
the recklessness of Judgment which attempts
to build a second success upon the exalted
high pinnacle reached by a first popular
achievement. Its author's reputation may
balance It there for n time , but when It
/alls woo allko to Anthony Hope and
"I'hroso ! " H Is not enough to say that
Anthony Hope Is n romancer whoso skill
nt plot-woldlng , fluency In story telling
nnd aptness at character-building have given
him hla present otandlng , and that "I'hroso"
Is the exact nntlthcsla of all these elements
upon which Us author's fame Is founded.
Its plot Is unwieldy , Its story Illogical and
Incoherent and Its characters among the
craziest , most Incomprehensible personages
known to modern melodrama.
When amateur night was Inaugurated at
the Orpheum It was announced by the man
agement that any local amateurs who might
exhibit moro than ordinary talent would bo
given nn opportunity to show what they
could do professionally by a week's engage
ment. The first of thcsu aspirants for hl.s-
trlonlo honors to secure the coveted prize
Is William Shepley and Thomas Miles , two
Council n luffs boj-8 , whoso act , consisting
principally of n burlesque Hulu-Hulu or
Hawaiian dance , was the real hit of the first
amateur performance nnd Is really a novelty
on the vaudovlllo stage. With the experi
ence acquired only by continued appearnncn
before largo audiences the young men give
promise of scoring success. At least the
good wishes of numerous friends will ac
company their professional appearance.

as to Ita moral tone has been made. Some
critics say It Is risque to the point of dis
gust , while others look upon It as n story
pointing out a strong moral. If the tltlo

In safe to assume that It could not bo used
as a rcllRlous tract. Mrs. Langtry's ex
perience with dcRcnerntcs should glvo her
n wonderful conception of her own role In
the piece.
Some writer has said that the story of
"Tho Degenerates" was taken trom bits of
Mrs. Langtry's own life. What nn Interest
ing story It must be. Degeneracy In Lon
don Is evidently not confined to the slums ,
n the characters In Mrs. hingtry's piny
all bear the titles of lords and dukes and
ladles. The piece , bo Its moral tone pure

'Iho following letter has been received
from ono of Omaha's singers , who Is now
singing professionally In n Boston church :
NEW ENOLAND CONSEUVATOHY.
BOSTON , Mass . Jan. 2. To the Mustcnl
Editor of The Hoc : Hurrah for I'.nO ! Hur
rah for the snow ! Boston Is now wreathed
In white where before were only Christmas
Kreenh nnd Indian summer. When we hear
the merry tinkling of the alelghbells we are
nlmost tempted to leave the merrier tink
ling of our pianos and the nbsorblngly in
teresting study of harmony to go out In
the fresh whlto snow and play like the
little folks In the park. Just across the
HtM'ut.
But I started to write nf Boston's pres
ent musical season iind 1 will not dluress
further. Wo have had another treat ot
grand opera during the two weeks' en
gagement of the Orau company here.
Calve wns , of course , the stnr of the sen-
son. It is well known thnt her Carmen is
uh nliitoly utmiMironchable. Three times
wn.s It given during the two weeks nnd
ouch tlmo to packed houses. Cnlvo Rtxvo
us a Marguerite In "Fauit" which wns a
revolution. Of course wo girls all ruvo over
her , ns schoolgirls nrc npt to do.
Stmbrieh was liner than ever and Nor-
illoa , our own Nordlca , wns splendid In endi
part she took. As Urtinhilde In "WnlkunV
which nho took In Boston lor the llrst time ,
she wns exceptionally good. Plancon was
magnificent as ever nnd Cntnpanlni won nil
the girls' hearts.
During the Christmas holidays we girls
had 11 tieat , which shows thnt we as music
students are not one-sided , but appreciate
the bountiful In literary thought ns well n.s
In musical thought. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe ,
who Is now In her Slst year , came to the
conservatory nnd gave us a delightful talk
on a "Plea for Humor. " She was Intro
duced by Mary A. Hvermore , but a year
land Conservatory lietietlcent society. Let
me explain In passing that this society Is
one made tip of and managed by homo of
the best known people In Boston , anil It.s
sole aim in life Is to help poor but talented
students of the divine art of music. It Is a
rare pleasure to us to have an opportunity
to meet such famous women , whom thu
world delights to honor.
The Symphony concerts nre as popular ni
over , and what wonder ! Where In the
world Is there another orchestra like the
Boston Symphony ? Speaking- the Sym
phony , one could hardly believe how much
pleasure there Is in being able to pick out
the principle themes , counter themes , thesis
anil antithesis and so on. While It cer
tainly does not Impair the primary enjoy
ment of the muslo It gives ono a certain
non.se of mastery over it nil. That is ono
of the great advantages of a conservatory
training It gives one such a broad knowl
edge of the whole subject of music. Truly
the study of music is a beautiful one and
as It unfolds new nnd more charming
phases to one's mind It cannot but remind
one of the sweet unfolding of a rosebud. I
don't claim any originality In that state
ment , but it is true nevertheless.
In the Symphony program wo nnd the
names of many eminent soloists , the hist
one being Paderew.skl. r know the critics
abused him and Boston has some very
severe critics , but I certainly enjoyed his
playing. We have heard Sauer. Cnrreno ,
De Pnchmann nnd all the rest , but still
there Is a charm about Paderewskl's piny-
Ing which will not allow us to give him a
second place.
The Handel and Haydn society In Its reg
ular Christmas rendition of the "Messiah"
Introduced a new bass to its list of favorite
soloists , a Boston man , Myron W. Whitnpv.
Jr. , who bids fair to become as universally
popular ns his famous father.
But there is so much to bo heard and en
joyed I could not describe It all. One gets
so enthusiastic over music , especially iii
Boston and the New England conservatory.
It Is hard to find a stopping- place after ono
once begins to tell about it.
CATHHYN CORTELYOU.
lA word in defense of the Omaha churches.
A gentleman who deplores the fact that
the churches of Omaha do not open their
hearts nnd give to aspiring organists a
chance to practice on the organs which
ho churches have purchased , has been
added recently to the staff of a local society
paper. The writer of these nrtlcles on
churchly duties Ignored the existence of
a certain course of organ recitals , which
vero given last year nt one of the churches ,
n which 'the ' organist tried to Interest the
musically-Inclined In the pursuit of a knowl
edge of the best that the musical compo
sition of the world contains. Whether the
recitals were worthy offerings or not , it
does not concern the writer , hut the fact
remains that these recitals were given from
Sunday to Sunday , short addresses were
given on the principal numbers played and
be contemporary critic was not present at
any ono of them.
The critic aforesaid says that upon in
vestigation bo finds that the church music
committees object to hnvoMhc organs In
heir respective churches played by nny
nib their own organists. Had the esteemed
nvcstigator pursued his Investigations
mere closely , in fact , had he interviewed
some of the principal churches of the city
10 would not have written as ho did.
Ho deplores the fact that 'Mr. ' W. E.
Young Is not heard enough In Omaha
churches. In reply to this let it bo said
that 'Mr. ' Young was tendered the solo
work nt both services on 'the ' Sunday when
the present pastor of the First Methodist
church was Installed , the regular organist
taking the accompanlmerttal parts of the
service. Later , the same gentleman was
asked by Sir. Butler , organist of Trinity
cathedral , to share the honors of ono of
his very T pulnr Sunday reutnls The
writer of this article was naked not long
ngo to play a recital on the organ which
la In the hands of Mrs Fonl. of Iho First
Congregational , nnd nt present writing Mrs. j
Ford's Invitation Is still open.
The critic , therefore , la somewhat er
roneously Informed BS regards some or
gans and some churches. Why this should
be , doubtless can be explained by the critic
aforesaid.
Now ns to churches. An organ Is nn
expensive Investment , nnd nny organist will
explain to the * atlsfactlon cf nn anxious
Inquirer thnt an organ Is not Improved by
being Indiscriminately used by persons
whose laudnblo ambition , the critic thinks ,
should entitle them to the use of any in
strument for practice.
However , the writer of this screed < nUea
It upon himself to pjato thnt when the music
stores will let ambitious pianists have piano
rent free , so thnt they can become pro
ficient pianists , then the churches will not
bo found wanting In their spirit of gener
osity.
It Is not , after all , a gracious thing to
criticise churches for their wnnt of interest
In encouraging musical aspirants , when ono
considers that today the only regularly paid
singers In the city are In the employ of nn 1
are paid by the churches.
Were It not for the churches there would
be many a singer without pay. The cburcho *
expect to pay for their musical services and
If other Institutions of the community
would but do ns much ns the churches do ,
It would be well for the musical section of
the community.
The following letter has been received
from Mr. Staims. the genial and muslclnnly
organist of All Saints' church :
"To the Musical Critic of The Bee Dear
Sir : I read your remarks In last Sunday's
Boo about the art of program-malting , more
especially In the line of church music , nnd
as two of the Instances of carelessness you
refer to were frcm the program of Christmas
music In All Saints' church , I should bo
glad If you would allow mo a brief reply.
In one Instance your correction Is thankfully
acknowledged , but In another the mlstako
or carelessness , whichever you may call ( t ,
Is certainly on your side. You say 'the cele
brated composer , Oliver King , appears In
ono of the Christmas services ns H , J. King. '
The nnthpm you refer to was not composed
by Oliver King , but by H. J. King , ( or to
i give him his full nnme , Henry John King ) ,
1
an organist of Melbourne. This looks like
'a horse apiece. ' Yours very truly ,
"J. H. SIMMS. "
And herein Is n peculiar state of affairs.
There Is a great anthem for Chrlsttnastlde ,
entitled , "When All Things Were In Quiet'
Silence. " It Is In the repertoire of All
Saints' choir and It was written by Oliver
King , the great composer. Knowing the
ability of the choir mentioned , It wns but
natural to suppose thnt this arrangement ,
being n dlfllcult and a very fine one , wns
the ono sung by Mr. Slmms' choir. Now-
one Is Inclined to think that Mr , H. J. King
wns trying to steal some of Oliver King's
thunder.
Mr. Slmme' letter is appreciated fully , nnd
it is hoped that ho will wrHo some moro
from time to time. Ho is a good musician
and a good fellow , and the "horse" alluded
to will cheerfully be "shaken off. "
A notable feature of the Butler organ re
cital this afternoon at 4:30 : Is to be the song
"My Crucifix , " which haa a considerable
amount of local Interest clustered around It.
It Is one of a set of poetical gems from a
collection of ecclesiastical poems written by
nn Omaha man , Mr. Charles Curtz Hahn.
Mr. .Hahn has a tenderly devotional senti
ment running through his work , and espe
cially Is it vivid in this particular ono. The
music is also by an Omaha man , Slgmund
Lnndsberg , and tie composition will bo sting
by Mr. Oarelssen and accompanied by string
quartet nnd organ.
Mr. Butler will play the Dubols arrange
ment of "Lohengrin" excerpts , the cele
brated "Fanfare Mllltalre" of Lemmens and
the "Cradle Song" of Gounod , together with
other known compositions.
Carl Smith , 'cellist , will play Godnrd'e
"Berceuse" and a string quartet , consisting
ot Messrs. Norden , Hoffman , Huster and
Smith , will play a Grelg quartet In G minor.
The prospects for any kind of remunera
tive concerts In Omaha when such programs
'as this nro given free nro not very encour
aging. If they were patronized largely by
those who could not afford to go to enter
tainments where nn admission fee Is charged
It would be a "grand good thing" ( to quote
from Dean Fair. ) But unfortunately they
are patronized mostly by people who can
well afford to pay the sum which entitles
ono to a sent at a "pay" concert , nnd who
are notably absent on such occasions.
Of course there are exceptions. Some
times dollars and half dollars nre found In
the alms basin , and this signifies thnt there
are some who are willing to pay for what
they get. Mr. Butler did not ask for these
words , nor did Dean Fair. The worthy
dean will doubtless make his usual appeal
today and meet with the usual financial re
sults. The condition Is unfortunate that no
charge can bo made nt the cathedral , but
sternly conscientious persons will bo able to
have their scruples set aside by donations.
Are free recitals of this kind Injurious to
the best Interests of the profession ? MeanIng -
Ing bj that regular free recitals.
