ciinary morn. it is i.cnt, anyway, and as
dullncts In ti necessary adjunct to this sea-j
nun. uie nine ran no apcni in pioasurnmo
anticipation of tho Sir Henry Irving, Ada
Itchan, John Drew, Nat (loodwln and Kiel'-
nrd Mansfield engagements, which are not I
far distant. ,
M tho Iloyd last week none of tho of- !
fi rings wns new. and while two of the four j
playa ptceented had scored moro than or- t
dlnary nucccs3 here during previous seasons,
the fact that Inferior players hnd been sub-
stituted for theso who appeared In the
original easta put a damper upon the en
thusiasm which might otherwise hac been
of greater proportions The fictitious an
nouncements that tho original production,
with several of the original cast of William
nillctt's pretty war drama. "Secret
Service." would bo forthcoming, wns the
means of attracting an unusually largc.au
dlenco Thursday night. Tho first net was
not more than half over when n glnnco over
the audlcnco showed disappointment pic
tured upon nlmokt every face, "rfesret
Sorvlro" Is a play of much dramatic
strength, and It takes pretty bad acting to
spoil como of tho exciting climaxes nnd
Btrong bcenes. but the company which pre
sented It Thursday accomplished oven this
most effectively.
It Is hard to blamo the management ot the
theater for this misrepresentation as It was
In no way party tn It. With many of the
nttractlma that nro foisted upen the local
management by the so-calltd theatrical syn
dl ate It has no better meatus of knowing
whether the attraction Is aa represented than
tho ordinary theater-goer. Thero Is remedy,
however, for tho recurrence of such un
palatable fakco ami that Is the refusal ot
thr local management to accept any plays
which are under tho direction of the people
nt tho head of these attractions, or by the
public's refusal to patronize them.
At tho Grclghton-Orpheum the vaudeville
entertainment presented during tho week,
while In many respects not quite up to tho
ttlamlard established at this theater earlier
in the season, offered ono or two features
of morn than ordinary merit. Tho regular
bi-monthly amateur performance was given
on Friday night beforethe usual large nudl
enco which always trots this theater's seat
ing capacity to Its limits upon these nights.
The amateur program was, as a whole, too
meritorious to furnish tho laughable amusc
nicnt usually forthcoming nt thtse perform
ances. From among the ten acts ottered at
least half of them would do credit to many
of thoie given by professionals at thin samo
theater. The first prize, a gold medal, was
given to Oclda Smith, a clever child artist,
who sang and danced like a professional:
the second, n silver medal, went to the two
popular llttlo colored lads. Butts and Spen
cer, tho former a baton twlrlcr nnd tho lat
ter a rng-tlmo dancer. During their act
mnall silver pieces thrown by tho audience
fairly rained upon tho stage. Thc lads paid
no attention to this for a time, continuing
their performance, until finally somo ono
threw a silver dollar, which foil at tho feet
of llttlo Butts. Ho glanced nt It for only
an Instant nnd then made a dive for It. It
Is unnecessary to say that their net ended
right thon, as the other lad wanted a bit of
tho money himself, nnd It was a scramble
between tho two for tho silver pieces, that
proved of morn Interest nnd amusement to
tho audience than nnythlng else upon tho
program. Tho third prlzo went to J. A.
Armstrong, n colored ontortalnor, who
offered somo Imitations that wero hits.
Among tho "also rans" were: Lottie Cor
son, a singing soubrette; Hazel Wahl, it
fancy dancer; !oulso Albcrtson, a whistler:
Saly and Sober, clever Juvenile violinists:
Clara Singer, In patriotic recitations; Lulu
tlondon. In songs and dances; Mr. Bates,
barltonv soloist; Hownrd nnd Folly, colored
entertainers, and Sabra, n dancer.
Just now It seems to bo quite the fad
for prominent stars throughout tho coun
try to give their oplnlona of tho New York
press attack upon Miss Netbersolo's pro
ductlon of "Sapho." Ono of tho latest to
glvo voice to his opinion Is John Drew,
who was Interviewed upon tho subject In
Detroit last week. As will bo seen, hU
opinion ngrees substantially with that of
Stuart Hobson ns given to the writer dur
ing Mr. Ilobson'H recent engagement here.
" 'Sapho" is a good play, and tho book
of that namo Is a classic," said Mr. Drew. I
"Tho papers In Now York that mado a 1
scandal over tho play nro not mentors cf
tho city's morals. It seems strnngo that j
New York did not seo tho samo nbout j
'Zaza' or 'Cnmllle.' 'Caralllo is not allowed
to appear on tho stago In Ixmdon. Tho
lord high chamberlain forbid It when It
was first 'brought out nnd It has been Inter
dicted ever since.
"The vulgnrlty or purity of 'Sapho' Is all
n ninttcr of onjnlon. Wo might say that to
tho pure all things nro puro and to tho
vulgar all things nro vulgar. It appears
that tho latter might apply to tho papers
1 referred to. In other words, I might eay
to tho proprietor of Mils hotel that I nm
sitting on an uncomfortable chair and tho
proprietor would reply that It was com
fortable, on tho contrary; so thero you aro
n dlfforenco ot opinion.
"Tho tendency of tho stage is toward
purer and better plays that young persons
can seo and enjoy. As for 'Sapho,' no
body is forced to seo It and thoso who go
know what they're going to sec,"
For the first tlmo since the death of her
former manager, Augustln Daly, Miss Ada
Rohan appeared upon the stage at Jersey
City last weok In Sheridan's "The School for
Scandal," Tho following extract from a
criticism of her performance shows that sho
has lest none of her nrtls'.le nblllty during
the year sho has been off tho singe:
"From her very first nppearnnco It wns
plainly npparcnt that Miss Rchan retained

"Sowing tho Wind," tho nttrnctloti that
has been current at Boyd's theater slnco
Friday night, will hold over today. Despite
tho fact that tho play Is old nnd has been
seen hero many times, it has been well at
tended nt every performance since Its open

Palace theater of London, will give what
they mnlntnln Is the best dressed act on tho
vaudovlllo stage, consisting of several
dances, Including thoso which mado them

In a few months many people will pack
their grips, valltes, and other traveling
nccesslths, and will seek a few months'
rest across tho ocean, or In the mountains,
or at summer resorts. Theso arc the peo
ple who can well afford to travel.
Then there nro hosts of others who can
not afford to go very far, and It is with
thrso that we arc nt present In touch.
It Is especially In regard to the study of
singing and Instrumental study that tho
foregoing lines havo been written, for
many ot the ambitious students of music In
this country aro not over-supplied with this
world's goods. In fact they should not be,
It they arc supplied with talents, according I
to tho law ot compensation.
The question presents Itself, "Shall tho
summer season be given over to rc3t or to
study?" Tho answer Is usually In favor cf
tho rc3t. And yet. Is It not a commentary
on the singularly Inconsistent things cf ilte,
nnd another reason for Puck's soliloquy,
"What foals theso mortals be!" in tho sum
mer time, the voice Is In its best condition,
tho body Is easy, free and supple, ns a rule,
clothing Is not cumbersome, throats are not
mufllcd up outsldo nnd surrounded with
stiff collars when In tho house. There Is n
chance to do one's singing in tho free air
of heaven, by having the studio windows
wido open. Instead of tho horrible air of
tho modern steamheated apartment. And
yet. with nil theso advantages In favor of
summer study, vocalists. In largo numbers,
prepare to close their work for the season
on the llrst day of June. The facts Just noted
havi however, been thought of many times
before, and have been acted upon by many
well known American teachers, with re
sults which wero satisfactory from an edu
cational and financial standpoint.
As to Instrumental study, there Is no
doubc about the proper tlmo to study tho
art of organ-playing. In summer, tho
churches aro warm and the heat permeates
the organ, the reeds aro usually In tune, tho
pump, motor and water pipes are not in
danger of being frozen up, the early morn
ings are bright and cool, and there Is no
danger of catching cold from damp nnd
muggy draughts ot ancient air. From the
standpoint of pianoforte music, the writer
has no deflnlto opinion, except that It Is to
bo presumed that what applies to tho organ
might also apply to tho piano In many re
spects. Truly, the summer seems to be the
very best tlmo to equip oneself for an early
autumn season.
The summer school hns proved a great
succcas In many places. Why not In Omaha?
(Musicians who aro Indiscreet enough to
applaud anything of nn Interesting nature
at concerts In Omaha should be very cau
tious ns to how they do It. Let It not bo
ohtruslvc, but gently tap tho finger of ono
hand against tho soft part of tho thumb
on the other, and let it go at that. They
should do this as uncatentatlously ns pos
sible, lest somo one be Influenced by their
oxamplo to go and do likewise. Applause Is
r. relic of barbarism. It should not be tole
rated! Imaglno tho absurdity of npplaudlng
a hostess for a good dinner and compelling
her to trot out tho whole procession of as
sistants, cook, steward, scullery maid and
so forth, and then expecting her to glvo
the dinner nil over again or another ono
equally as good. No, applnuso is no longer
Incidental to good breeding. If ono do
chance to applaud a musical numbor, let
him prepare to tnko the consequences.
Ono or two rash but well meaning persons
who wero listening to tho concert nt the
Women's club last Thursday night attempted
to greet tho chorus with a generous round
of applause. Tho result was a dismal failure
and tho guilty noisy ones wero treated to a
very generous reception of a "rubber" na-
I ture. Almost every one In tholr vicinity
I stretched out their necks, penlnsula-llkc, to
I soo tho culprits. Again, In tho samo pro
gram a gentleman from South Omaha was
Untuning Intently to Mrs. Weakley's sang,
"Tho Sands o' Dee," and when tho con
tralto repeated over and over tho phrasn
"Mary, go and call tho cattlo home," ho
beamed with satisfaction and applauded vlg-
orously. only to be repulsed by angry
Klares ,rom pergong who wero not docl,,r
! interested In stock as he was.
He felt soro nbout tho affair, for he said
tho song appealed to him, being n South
Omaha man.
In connection with this program, one can
easily bo convinced that certain music should
be given free of charge. The singing of the

nnd tho conductor, in many Instances, waved ell Bluffs and Hastings, at the close of tho
his baton In vnln. Tho compositions were
not at nil attractive, particularly tho one
by Chamlnade. Thero wero several good
voices in tho chorus and eoiuo very wall
j known singers, but If tho Women's cluh
' wishes to Impress tho people of Omaha with
productions ot musical compositions, wheso
presentation Is worthy of Imitation, they
had better arrange to havo tho exhibitions
ot their choralUts confined to department
days rather than professional conceTts to
which a 50-cent too Is charged. This la
nothing against the efforts of tho chorus,
as n chorus, nor Is It a reflection on tho
conductor, who Is obliged to us all tho ma
terial which Is given him, but thero Is a
place for all things, even Incipient cho
ruses, and whllo no chorus ever starts In
with a great degreo of perfection nnd whllo
nil choruses havo to begin at tho beginning,
It also Is truo that when a chorus makv.fi
a professional appearanco It should havo
had some provlous understanding as to what

have preferred "(lifts" lo the Persian (lar

There wero some very enthusiastic persons
at tho Woman's club a week ago Friday nnd
the cause of the enthusiasm was the won
derful precocity of tho musical llttlo daugh
tcr of Dr. and Madam Baettcns. Tho child
is only S years old and her playing Is pro- j
nounced to bo truly reninrkable. In addl
tlon tor her Instrumental attainments, which
sho has worked out under the guidance of

hns tho gift of absolute pitch. It Is seldom

suredly, ns nny one who knows her father

iA great event In musical Crete was tho
opening of tho new pipe organ there last
week. Judging from a letter received by
Mrs. Frances Ford, which sho read to tho
musical critic of The Bee, the people In
Crete nro as proud of the organ as if It
wero an automobile or an auditorium, Tho
opening recital was given by Mr. W. Irving
Andruss of Doane college, (ho does not

was superb, being mado up of some of the
very best Illustrations of organ composition.
Tho organist was assisted by Miss Chllds,
