AMUSEMENTS.
Last week was remarkable In Omaha only
for tho annual visit of tho Uostonlans,
whoso chlof claim to distinction at present
lies In tho fact that thero Isn't much left
of tho old company which in ado tho namu
famous. Parnabco Is still tho oak around
which tho Ivy of tho troupo clings, but even
llarnabeo Is fast going tho way of tho flesh.
Ills volco and legs show only too plainly tho
nlloct of passing years and It Is apparent
to oven his most enthusiastic friends that
soon tho tlmo will como when llarnabeo
will bo known no moro In all tho length and
brendth of ntagclaml. Probably that Is tho
reason pcoplo still turn out to hear him;
they want to say they were present at his
farcwoll porforirance. Of tho rost of tho
company not much Is to bo said. Hard luck
lins camped on Its trail of late. Tor tho
first tlmo In history a company tried to play
n two weeks' stand In Denver. It was the
Ilostonlans, and tho result wus that In two
weeks the receipts wero less than they wcro
last season In one. Whllo thero W. II.
MacDonald becarao Involved In tho tragedy
wliorcln his brother killed n man nt Wash
ington and took his own life. Then MIsb
Hello Ilartlett (Ilelle Fremont on tho bills),
nloco of Miss Josephlno Dnrtlctt, nnd who
was slnglug soprano roles with tho company,
was takon suddenly 111 with pneumonia
nnd was loft In 11 very critical condition
at n Denver hospital, whero her llfo Is now
despaired of. Hilda Clurk slipped on an Icy
nldownlk and sprained her nnklo nnd thero
wcro sundry nnd divers other mishaps that
nil combined to mako tho company glad to
got away from Denver. If nnyone noticed
a lack of spirit In tho Omaha performances,
tliey may safely uttrlbuto It to somo of tho
causes hero set out. Largo audiences
greeted tho singers each tlmo tho curtain
went up.
Wnlker Whltesldo ended tho week. With
n fairly cnpablo company, Mr. Whltesldo
has been presenting art to tho pcoplo of
lown. South Dakota and northern Nebraska
this winter with moro of success than when
ho undertook to cducato tho dwellers In
largo cities to n tnsto for his own stylo of
Hamlet. Critics dllfer as to Mr. Wbltcsldo's
personation of tho character of tho melan
choly prlnco of Denmark. It Is only rertnln
that ho spent considerable money and much
palnstnklng elTort during two soaisons, only
to scoro a fnlluro on tho metropolitan cir
cuit. Ills Inter experiences nmoug the one
night towns havo been moro financially, If
less nrtlstlcnlly. successful; and Mr. Whltc
li! has learned thnt tho world has n sordid
fldo. Ho has a romantic drama to go along
with "Hnmlct" now, n play In which tnero
nro lots of swords nnd much swaggering
and tho hero gets plenty of nctlon In tho
center of tho stage, and ho bus really scored
a hit so far no tho country Is concerned, nt
Irnst. Mr. Whltesldo realizes this, nnd
while his wagon Is still hitched to tho star,
his hold on earth has not been released.
"It Is not In mortal to command nucccss,"
but. llko Sempronlus mentor, Walker
Whltesldo 1b bound to descrvo It.
At tho vaudovlllo houses bills of no un
usual merit wcro given all week to excel
lent patronage.
"I havo decided to discontinue entirely
after this season 'io playing" of Shakes
pearean roles." said Walker Whltesldo yes
terday nftcrnoon during nn Intermission
of his Interesting new romantic drama,
"Heart, nnd Hwonl." "Tho American pco
plo nro essentially n commercial pcoplo. and
to this fact, perhaps moro than any other,
rnn bo assigned their partiality to en
deavor and achievements nlong lines other
than tragedy nnd Shakespcrlan effort. I
have been generously treated by tho people
of this whole country, but I do not believe
my success has been what It would had 1
directed my energies from tho start to
. high comedy nnd the romantic draruu.
" "In 1S9.1 I hogan tho delineation of tho
Bhnkcspcarean roles. It has been a hard
task, nn uphill Journey, for I had to con
tend with n prejudlco thnt will never be
removed from tho minds of tho American
pcoplo, It wns that no ir.nn would over
bo produced who could enact Slmkespeai'c
nnd attain tho success In tragedy reached
by nooth and Barrett. I was considered
presumptuous for attempting oven to
weakly portray that which theso men so
grandly accomplished. I'crhaps this
opinion was correct. Perhaps It Is this
reason entirely that hnB Us reflex In nn
apparent lack of Interest In Shakespearean
drama. I was younger then than now. 1
was not matured mentally. I begin to
rcatUo moro and moro that nn actor must
establish a reputation for versatility and
bo nblo to plcnso tho peoplo through tho
means of vehicles lighter nnd moro to
their approelaiion limn Ilnmlof nnd 'lllchc
lleu.' "An actor may mcasuro his success in
tho satisfaction ho" derives from getting
what appears to him to bo tho best out of
his art. Ho may bo praised for achieve
montB In tho hlghor realms of tho art, hut
ho Is, nt tho satno time, not successful un
less ho so Ingratiates himself with tho thca-ter-golng
populnco thnt his engagement Is
a sntlsfnctlon to tho box ofllco men. I re
mombcr nn Instnnco proving this. I ap
peared In Iluffnlo n few years ago for tho
first time. My rcpcrtolro Included nothing
but tho classics. I was kindly received. My
efforts seemed to please the peoplo nnd my
work wns highly praised. Hut 1 returned
tho following season and my nudloncos
wero smaller than thc wcro at first. Ho
peatcd Instances of this kind tlnally brought
mo to nn tpprcclatlon of tho fact that I was
wrong or else tho oeoplo wero wrong. I
certnlnly do not nrrogato to myBolf tho pro
sumption thnt everybody was wrong but my
self, us Is witnessed In my determination
to discontinue entirely future attempts In
Shakespearean roles,
"I havo been gradually reaching tho
point where I can creditably leavo off what
I at Ursr Uotermlned to follow to tho end.
I began with a production of JJugone
Aram,' which I consider a dramn of tho
highest typo. I followed this with 'Tho
Ited Cockndo,' and It, too, seemed to pleaBO
tho people. This year I presented 'Heart
nnd Sword,' and Its success has been very
satisfactory. I havo novor yet nppcared
In n modern drama. Next season I hopo
to do so. I havo with mo now tho manu
script of what I believe will bo a very pretty
society drama and 1 hopo to produco It
next season.
"I will carry from Omaha with mo this
year tho raoBt delightful memories of the
treatment accorded mo by the people here.
I like Omnha. I mado up my mind from
tho tlmo I appeared hero first, In 1894, to
mako this feeling mutual, and I bellevo I
havo In a mcasuro accomplished what I
sought. Hut hereafter I wnnt my friends
to know mo ns tho actor and not tho trage
dian. Hah! Do. you know that tho very
nanio Is somewhat distasteful to mo7 And,
mind you, It Is not thnt I havo been a
failure. I say this without n touch of
conceit, but had I been I would havo been
relegated to oblivion years ago. I am
happy, however, to hnvo reached the real
ization thnt I havo whllo I nm yet young
nnd ambitious. In tho future, It may bo
that I will resumo Shakospearo, but nftcr
fhls season for n tlmo, nt any rate, I will
not oven tako up 'Hamlet. "
Omaha ndmlrcrs of Miss Gertrude Cogh
lan, nnd tho list Includes nil who witnessed
her prcscntntlon of "Hccky Sharp," will
bo Interested In knowing that sho doesn't
rirnnntn in tin r1nnnr.il with tllO cheap nt-
tractlons. When tho company reached Cin
cinnati on Its Joyous round Miss cognian
mado tho discovery that sho wns billed to
play at "popular" prices. Sho promptly
put her foot down nnd declared sho would
not do It. When sho signed to piny "Hccky
Sharp" It was written In tho contrnct thnt
tho ottractlon should bo given only for
first-class prices In first-class houses. Mls3
Coghlan would not go on nnd tho curtain
did hot rlso until nftcr 9 o'clock, and then
under a compromise arrangement. On the
next night Miss Coghlan took a little look
Into the box ofllco and found tho low-priced
scats on snlo again. Here's whero "Becky
RlmrnV n-nl nntlirn camo to the surface.
Instead of stamping nnd scolding, Miss
Coghlan qulcty resigned from mo com
pany. Sho snys sho will return to New
York unless tho managers arrango matters
satisfactory to her.
Lincoln pcoplo will find somo negative
consolation In tho news thnt tho Kngllsh
firnnd Opera company, under tho Metro
politan management, has proved n fnlluro
and will nbnndon Its tour nftcr Its Chicago
engagement. Western pcoplo wnnt n run
for their money, apparently, and find It
moro to their tastes to watch Murray ami
Mack "Shooting tho Chutes" thnn to follow
Carmen, Kscnmlllo and Don Joso through
tho mazes of love, brigandage, bull lights
nnd murdor. Now, this must not bo tuken
ns h reflection on tho tnsto of western peo
pie. It Is not so Intended. In setting It
down ono merely oxprcsses tho condition
Alexander Snlvlnl voiced It excellently well
when In Omaha on IiIb flrst starring tour,
Ho wns playing "Don Caesar do Haznn" nt
tho old Hoyd, giving n most delightful
presentation of that charming comedy to
receipts that Just nbout paid for lighting
tho opera house. Uctwecn nets ho was
debating tho work ho had sot about, and
somewhat pessimistically, too, for tho Hoyt
"comedy" nnd tho tank "drama" wero
"turning 'cm away" In thoso days. "Tho
American goes to tho theater to bo amused,
nnd not for Instruction," said Mr. Snlvlnl
"Ho has enough to think nbout during tho
dny In his business. When night comes nnd
ho goes to tho theater ho goes for diversion.
Pcoplo wnnt to be distracted, not to be
mado to think." Slnco thnt dny thoro has
been n mnrked subsldonco In tho popularity
of farce comedy, nnd n corresponding rlso
In appreciation of tho moro sorlous typo
of play tho romantic, drnmn having very
largely taken the placo of both tho old
stylo tragedy and tho modern problem
play yet It will bo ii long tlmo beforo
western peoplo will nbandon "Bobln Hood"
for the Wngner trlloKy, even at "popular
prices."
Co in I it K Event".
An ctitlro comedy presented on tho
"legitimate" stago by n negro cast wus
never nttempted until Messrs, Colo nnd
Johnson presented "A Trip to Coontown,"
both of theso comedians stnrrlng In the
plcco three sonsons. For Its fourth tour
of tho country many new features nnd nov
oltleH will bo Introduced In tho comedy,
nnd everything possible dono to advance Its
excellence. Tho artists that wero with the
company last season havo been re-engaged,
with additions from tho pick of tho col-,
ored profession. Messrs. Colo nnd Johnson
havo by their Individual work with tho
company given nn entertainment that Is
refined, fascinating nnd nmuslng, Mr.
Cole's tramp being Incomparable,, nnd Mr.
Johnson hns had a long experience on tho
stage, being tho lending comedian In tho
most famous productions given by colored
talent. "A Trip to Coontown" Is tho best
diversion ever given tho public by tho
negroes on tho stago. It will bo given nt'
Hoyd's theater, commencing this nftcrnoon
and continuing until Tuesday night.
Miss Uugcnlo Ulnlr and her company will
bo seen hero nt Hoyd's theater Wednesday
mattneo In "A Lady of Quality" and
Wednesilay nnd Thursday nights In "Car
men." Knch production will ho given with
a wonderful degree of elaborateness nnd
completeness. Miss Hlntr In tho star rolo
of "Clorlnda Wlldalrs" has won n placo In
the esteem of tho discriminating thenter
goers ns n result of long nnd earnest effort.
A conscientious, accomplished nnd trained
actress and n woman of marked Intelli
gence, her presenco In this strong, human
play would of Itself entltlo It to tho con
sideration of thoughtful nnd discriminating
thenter-goors, oven If tho play wcro Inching
In dramatic merit, which Is far from tho
case. In "Carmen" Miss Blair takes upon
herself tho principal burden of nn arduous
performance. Miss Hlnlr's "Carmen" Is In
ono Important respect esscntlnlly different
from tho conventional "Carmen," Sho Is
no worso nor no coarser than nn artistic
ndherenco to tho story requires her to bo.
In fact, It cannot bo cnld that she Is at any
tlmo really coarse, though sho Is wayward,
capricious, coquettish nnd reckless. In her
conception of tho character of tho zypsy
girl M(ss Hlnlr has made n study of Don
Jose. She has found In tho young soldier
bravery, gentleness nnd nntural refinement,
a man unfamiliar with intrigues, dissipa
tions or aught clso calculated to destroy
Unit freshness and purity of sentiment thnt
a good man can bring to his flrst love.
With this much established In tho charac
ter of Don Jose, the deduction Is obvious
thnt his flrst lovo would not bo coarse nnd

"Tho Prisoner of Zcnda" comes to
Hoyd's theater for two performances, bo-
glnnlng with a matinee on Saturday
afternoon. There is nothing in Action that
surpassos this story In nil the elements
that flt It for strong dramatic portrayal.
Tho company Is composed In tho main of
tho original Lyceum theater players nnd Is
said to be ono of tho strongest organiza
tions on tho road. It Is not n one-nrtlst
Aggregation, so constructed ns to show off
somo Individual actor regardless of tho
merits of tho general production, but tho
company Is evenly balanced nnd each mem
ber hns been chosen with a view to his or
her fitness for tho part to be sustained.
Tho parting of tho lovers In tho last net,
whllo In tho distance Is heard tho pealing
of the great organ, accompanied by tho
chanting ie requiem over tho rcmrtns of
tho Hlar phberg, by n corps of well
trained s, Is ono of the most Impres
sive nnd pathetic scenes ever born of stage
craft. Among thoso ,dio participate are
Vaughn Olascr, W. L. Buchanan, Cecil
Owen, Helen Hell, Helen Strickland, Mary
Howe, Mnry La Pierre, Miss Welles, C. C.
Brandt, Luke and Itobcrt Conncss, W. M.
Wndsworth, Willis Page, Francis Clay,
Louis Gilbert, Daniel Dickers nnd Edward
Parks. With Its romantic story of lovo nnd
ndventure, Its frequent touches of delightful
comedy, Its plcturcsquo costumes, elaborate
stago settings nnd capablo cast, this pro
duction has been meeting with favor every
where this season.
Commencing with n matinee today, tho bill
for tho week at tho Orphcum Is composed of
artists that hnvo established reputations In
vaudovlllo and somo of whom enjoyed stellar
careers In tho legltlmnto previous to going
Into vaudovlllo. Mary Dupont and Charles
Lothian nro new stars In vaudovlllo. Thoy
will mako their bid for favor In tho comedy
entitled "A Visit to Aunt Martha," which
has proven n most satisfactory vehicle to
their success. The llttlo drama tells n
story of lovo Intermixed with amusing
complications und Is snld to bo ono of tho
best constructed nnd brightest In dialogue
of recent-day sketches. Frank Oardnor
nnd Lottlo Vincent havo both been seen
hero nnd scored hits on previous occasions.
Mr. Oardnor was hero with Flcurotto
about a year ago. Ho Is a vcrsatllo come
dian. Miss Vincent was horo with tho
Four Rosebuds nnd with a sweet nnd pleas
ing presenco nnd a Alio volco becamo qulto

which tho klnodromo will project now mov

Miner & Van's "Dig nohcmlan Hurles

all this week, commenclug with tho matlnca
today. Tho opening burlesquo Is entitled
"A Cnso of Con," a musical melango of
mirth nnd specialties Introducing tho full
strength of tho company, the principal in
gredients of which nro droll comedians,
grnceful dancers, magnificent scenery nnd
Irresistible, music. Tho closing amusemont
vehicle is called "A Scrambled Egg," In
which Mr. Van will nppear ns "Patsey,"
tho bell boy, a chnrnctcr which affords him
an opportunity to dlnplny his versatility,
keeping tho nudlenco In a contlnunl roar
of laughter. In this, ns in tho opening
skit, muslcnl selections, up-to-date songs
nnd specialties will bo Introduced, singly
nnd collectively. Taking It nil In nil, this
Is snld to bo "tho" show of tho season.
MUSIC. I
'.A
Tho futuro holds n few musical dates In
storo when ono may have tho alcnsuro of
exchanging coin of tho realm for nn op
portunity to tako a Beat and listen to tho
strntns of that harmonious nectar which
doth gladden tho heart of man.
Tho cvor popular Sousa with his band
will appear under tho management of tho
Boyd theater, and tho celebrated Strnuss
with his world-rcnowncd Vlcnnoso orchostra
will bo hero In tho very near futuro and
will pack tho theater from carpet to celling.
It Is whispered that Sembrlch will ba
horo under nnothcr local management, nnd
that tho old worn-out excuse, "Darber of
Seville," will bo presented. Just how long
American people will ncccept and pay for
tho nbsurdlty of putting a comic opera (al
though, of course, the music Ib great In
Itsolf), In n forolgn tonguo beforo nn
nudlenco which docs not understand a word
that Is boing sung, is n problem. Ono can
appreciate to a degree tho sublime acting
of n Bernhardt or Tomaso Salvlnt In n
tragedy, written and played In n foreign
language, but In nn opera, which Is stilted
enough when it Is serious, thero Is no pos
sible benellt to bo received by an nudlenco
commensurate with what should bo received
If another vehlclo of expression wero
choson, rathor than that of comedy. But
tho "Barber" requires llttlo scenery, fow
people, nnd thero you are. Tho prlco Is
Just as high as that paid for a great cast,
a flno chorus, n grnceful ballot, and n
grand opora, In renllty.
Thero Is also n prospect of a concert or
two from tho "President's Own Hand" (the
United States Marino), under Director
Lieutenant Santolmann. This popular or
ganlzntlon has been Increased by act of
congress to scventy-thrco men, nnd Is now
nt its best. Tho salaries of tho men havo
been also advanced, which secures a higher
grndo of musicianship. Tho tour of this
bnnd Is under tho direction of Howard Pow,
who has managed almost every band In tho
country, nnd It Is mndo by special permls
slon from th authorities nt Washington.
A lottor from Mr. Hollln Hond, who was
engaged with his band to play for somo
tlmo nt tho Greater Amorlca exposition,
being ured In the nature of a utility or
ganization, discloses tho fact that ho has
removed to York, Neb., where ho will glvo
a series of band concerts In the Auditorium
there, assisted by locnl talent, Instrumental
nnd vocal.
It Is officially announced that Edward
Lloyd, tho great English tenor, whoso volco
hns delighted millions of people, has retired
from public life. Mr. Lloyd has done a wlsa
thing, In his day and genorntlon, nnd It Is n
forclblo example for younger singers, In
this Increasingly commercial ago, Mr,
Lloyd retires In tho full, ripe afternoon of
his career, without ono thought of what ho
was, but with tho sweet consciousness of
what ha Is. One Interesting featuro of his
farewell coucort at tho Itoyal Albort hall,
which was filled complstoly, was his sing-
Ins of tho now fnmoiis "Holy City," by
Storhon Adams, with the composer playing
the accompaniment, Just as at the flrst
production of the ballad eight years ago
at St. James' hall.
It Is to bo hoped that Edward Lloyd will
not be tempted Into making n series of
"farowell concerts," ns most of his con
temporaries have done nnd nro doing, nnd
from what Is known of tho high character,
houcst art-Integrity and Intellectual dignity
of tho man It Is generally conceded that he
will be nbovo this temptation.
Which reminds us that nil people should
end their art careers beforo they show
signs of wear and It would bo well for
auditors It somo careers had ended beforo
they began.
There aro fow changes to be mado In the
personnel of tho choirs this senson so far
as at present reported. The St. Mary's
Avcnuo Congregational church choir gave
n very credltablo production of tho cele
brated "Dcttlngen To Doum," by Handel,
two weeks ngo nnd tho work of that choir
Is steadily gaining In musical strength,
thanks to Mr. Keck, the earnest nnd In
dustrious choirmaster, assisted by Mr.
Allen nt tho organ. Trinity cathedral Is
handicapped by not having n choirmaster
who can bo seen by all or most of tho
choir. It Is n chancel choir and It Is Im
possible for Mr. Hutler to see after nnd
attend to everything, from tho unfortunato
plnclng of tho organ keyboard, In respect
to tho choir. Mr. Butler, to his credit bo
It said, makes tho best of untoward cir
cumstances. Trinity cathedral Is a citadel
of church music, from which much Is ex
pected, nnd It Is not coming un to ex
pectations,
Mr. Butler's recitals nro ns nonular ns
over nnd will contlnuo to bo so us ion na
ho plays good programs. In tho last pro
gram thero was n noticeable falling nway
irom mo nest composers, tho "Nuptial
March" of Gullmant being tho only really
great number on tho nroeram. I nm in.
cllned to deprecate Mr. Butler's Judgmont
in putting u on ror tho first number. That
Is tho placo whero tho comnulsorv ntimhnra
aro usually written down. I mean by com-
imisury numuors moso which nro nt n
big public concert usually presented bo
causo somo extremists will omoM ihnm
Thoy aro over tho sooner. But this should
nut uppiy to uuiimant, nnd especially to
tho "Nuptial March." it would bo n good
