and the new theater was tilled to Its ca- , ney strcit was opened by the original com-
paclty. PrevlouB to that time the Academy
of Music, now the Nebraska Music hall, on
tho south side of Douglas street near Thir
teenth, was tho leading theater.
Boyd's opera house was built by James E.
Uoyd, the preecnt owner of Boyd's theater,
and wan one of the Ilnest theaters In the
west. Morgan L. MeElfatrlck of St. Louis
was tho architect and later made the plana
for Hoyd's theater. The opening of the
theater marked an cpoeh In the history of
tho new western town. General Manderson,
Ezra Millard. James K. lioyd and other
prominent citizens were called upon for
cpccchfc. Oeneral Manderson occupied a
rent In the lower box nt the left of the stage.
Vmcn the ciirtnln dropped on the first act of
"The Mascot" General Manderson spoke In
part as follows:
"We who reside In Omaha this thriving
city of ours feel called upon frequently to
bemoan our dUi:omforts and our v.ants.

considerable litigation changed Us name to
the Fifteenth Street theater and continued
under that name until It was dejtroyed In

GRAND TESTIMONIAL BENEFIT
given by his numerous friands tJ
Jake
for pavements, better hotel accommodations
nnd numerous other needs. Paradoxical as
it may seem, there in comfort in thcie d 1 a -comforts.
The want means a needed supply.
The supply means happlncs created. Our
happiness can only tie measured by the
extent of our former misery. Our gratifica
tion In this beautiful structure tonight Is
immeasurably increased by the keen sense
of pant deprivation. Tonight means a new
departure for Omaha; it means that Omaha
has commenced to be metropolitan; for,
looking Into the future I sec that this build
ing is to bear an Important part In the city's
history. The citizens of Omaha will gather
here to bear and see all that Is best on the
operatic and dramatl.- stage nnd will take
into their lives culture and refinement from
seeing all the best that can he seen and
heard."
In a brief speech Hz" Millard commended
the enterprise of Mr. .joyil in offering tho
city such a creditable opera house. Resolu
tions of appreciation were passed by tho
audlenco and Mr. Boyd came beforo tho
curtain and thanked tho audlenco for the
hearty manner in which it was supporting
him In his new venture.
Tho programs for tho opening were
printed on satin nnd were very elaborate.
Omaha had such a limited population nt
the time Boyd's opera house was opened that
it was not pofslblo to have more than three
performances a week even In the height of
tho Bcauon. In a few years, however, the
city developed Into one of tbo best show
towns In the went, Mary Anderson, Booth,
Barrett, Nllson. Forrest. Abbott nnd nearly
all the great actors and singers were seen
at Boyd's opera house from the time of Its
opening in 1881 until It was burned on Oc
tobcr 2, 1S93. Katie Emmett In the "Walts
of New York" was the attraction that was
playing at the house at the time of the
fire. She and her players flnlihed a re
hearsal at ft o'clock In the nftcrnoon and
left the theater. By 6 o'clock the theater
was In ruins and the cause of tb.2 Are was
ncTer known.
The most money that was ever taken in
at Boyd's opera house on straight adrai3'
slons was tho night of January 2. 1SS3
The Christine Nllsson Concert company was
the attraction. The Swedish singer was
then In tho height of her powers and was
thn hr-st drawing card ever brought to
America. The prlco of tho best seats was
advanced to J4. and the receipts for the
evcnlnc were S3,6.'I.eO. Nllsson wns sup
tiortort at that time by Hope Glenn, the
famous contralto, and Depuente, a well
known baritone of that day.
Kdwln Booth came to Boyd's opera house
before ho became a Joint star wlth'Lawren.e
Barrett. He afterwards played at the
theater many times with Mr. Barret.. The
largest houso the Joint stars ever drew In
the city netted J3.200. Mary Anderson, jonn
McCullough and nil the famous interpreters
nf ShnltPHnf .Trcan roles with ths exception
,.f nnnrv Irvine, wero soen In the old
thpater.
In the opinion of Thomas F. Boyd, who
mnnairpd tho theater, the most noianie
nmninv that ever clayed in the old houso
tho McfAiill Onera company, which
presented "The Queen's Laco Handkerchief.'
In March of 1SS3. Francis nson appeaic
in Omaha then for the first time and played
tho low comedy role, rerugini. wno auer
nnrrt married Lillian Uussell. and has re
cently been playing In "The Turtle," wns
tho leading tenor, l-uy rcoi, .time, w
trcllv and W. T. Carlcton weer also mem
vr nf the company.
The Bo?tonlan made their first bow to
an Omaha nudlence at Boyd's opera house
n,.rinc thplr first season tney appeared un
ih mnnacemcnt of Mrs. K. H. Obe
and wero known ns the Boston Ideals
Shortly afterwards Barnaoee ami .mcuoh
aid amumed control of the company and
changed the name of the company to tho
Boitonlans.
Emma Abbott played many engagements
at tho old horse and was always a prlmo
favorite with Omaha audiences. Mrs. Flake
of Becky Sharpe fame came to this house
annually In her light comedy roles nnd
was greeted by largo audiences that never
expected the Minnie Maddera of those daa
to becoem ono of the best known women
In tho profession. In speaking of Minnie
Maddern. Thomas F. Boyd Fttd:
"In tho days when Mlnno Maddern vstd
to come hero regularly every season, she
was a cute-looking little red-headed g rl
who looked as though she didn't weigh more
than 100 pounds. She never had much of a
elnglng voice, but she had a winning way
with her and was n much greater favorite
than miny singers with better volcss."
In ISSt Mary Anderson played a notable
engagement In Omaha. She printed
"Pygmalion and Galatea" and a little cur
tain raiser called "Comedy and Tragedy
nt a matinee, which was the best attended
afternoon performance ever given In the
city. ,
Langtry came to the old theater several
times nnd alwnys proved a good drawing
rnrd. Mrs. Leslie Carter wat seen at the
old house In "Ugly Duckling," and hsd con
siderable difficulty getting out of the city
on account of insistent creditors. Carter
of that day was not as greit an attraction
as tho Carter who set New York and Lon
don wild with her "Zaza."
Joseph Jefferson played In Onnhi Sep
tember 26. ISS5. Rip Van Wlnk'e was ths
bill nnd tho price for the best seats wr.s
jl Barnum's circus showed In eppos tlm
to Jefferson, but In spite of that fact ho
played to a buslnels of Jl.OtO. Itta plaved
three engagements In Boyd's opera house
and always filled the house to Its full ca
pacity. , . .,
Fanny Davfnport was a prime favorite
Rlth Omaha theater goers of tho '80s. nnd
un annual vUltor. One of her greatjst
naa tt ...... -
succerees In Omaha was In "Lady of loons.
Frederick DeBcllvllle was then her leading
man.
In ISSt tho Mapleon upora cumpjnjr
visited Omaha nnd presented "Lucli de
Lamraermoor." At that time Etelka (let
ter was the leading soprano of the company
and was a notable operatic star. The per
formance in Omaha was a greu eucefsa
financially nnd artistically, the receipt! for
the ono performnce being $3,151.
Modjeska was an annual visitor to Boyd s
enera house. Her most notihlo eneagtments
la the city were
formance tho police cetsors find tho play
unworthy of further repetition it will have a
police finish.
The company presenting "Sapho" is saw
to be an excellent one. many of Its mem
bers having been scon hero before In first-
lass companies. Miss Lylllan Atwood en
acts the role of Fairy Lcgrande or Sapho.
Krvan Blunkall is the Jean Gaussln; Nevo
!aucherenu Is handled by Grace Valals:
Flammant by W. II. McDaugall, and Paul
Sechelctto by Alex Randolph. During tho
company's engagement at the Trocadiro the
claim is made that the sale of liquid re
freshments will bo prohibited.
Jakp Rosenthal's benefit at the Boyd Tues
day night promises to be a most succcrsful
affair, both from a histrionic and financial
standpoint. It certainly will be ono of the
most diversified programs ever given In the
city. It will bo given In two parts, opening
with a minstrel first part, in which the on
tiro male 'trength of the. company will take
part. Th j minstrel feature will bo followed
by that part on the program In which the
local talent will be seen. An Intermission
separate? this part from the closing part, in
which are Included all the professional acts.
In tho minstrel first part the end men will be
Billy Hlce, the old-time minstrel. Jake
Rosenthal, Charles Stewart, Bd Mullen.

Tho other program was that preiented
by the Woman's club, as the last concert
of the season. It was not particularly
noteworthy. It Is to be hoped that the
musical department of that great and mag
nificent organization called the Woman's
club will next season be put on a piano
where It will be worthy of association
with the other departments. With the
one notable exception of Mrs. Ford, there
Is no one at the head of tho musical de
partment who has weight In the musical
council of the city. The Woman's club
do;s a magnificent work in other depart
ments, and It is strange that the musical
department Is not brought to where It be
longs, and used to wield an Influence for
tho advancement of art In music, Instead
of ns a certnln sort of free distribution
agency for delivering to an audience the
uucharged-for services of Omaha profes
