TITE OMAHA DATLY 33EE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1901. lft AMUSEMENTS. Last week wasn't especially notabto at tho Omaha play houses. Iloyd's opened th week with a rather Indifferent attraction, which met probably all tho patronage It merited, which wasn't much, Eugenie IJIalr received her customary welcome, and pre sented her, somewhat shop-worn play, "A I.ady of fjuallly," to two largo audiences, and gave a blazing hot "Carmen" to an other. Outsldo of Its qualities as a "sex against sex" play "A Lady of Quality" has no very good reason for existing. It doesn't call for any especial forco on tho part of Its actors, and doesn't convey any very Rood lesson, unless It bo tho brief one npoken by Clo Wlldalrs In tho roso garden scene: "Why do women weep and beat their breasts? Ilccauso they havo lost the lovo of a man? They never had It!" In all Its aspects tho story Is exaggerated, and to n point whero It almost defeats Us own end. "Carn.cn" Is simply tho tragedy of a Spanish gypsy and licr lovers, which Is sur charged with caloric. In cither the acting or singing version of tho story ono must continually remind oneself that the personi represented aro those of tho warm blood of sunny Spain, and aro consequently not bound by the hard and fast rules of action which govern tho conduct of tho natives of tho north. Last night "Tho Prisoner of SCcnda" was presented by a fairly capabla company to an appreciative assemblage of admirers of Hope's dashing hero. Modern lltcraturo has presented many types of tho romantic lover, but Rudolph Ilasscndyll Is clearly at tho head of them all. In fact, he Is In a class by himself. There Is a degree of fascination about tho whole tnlc, whether In tho novel or tho piny, that Is rarely at tained, and added to tho sparkling wit of Its Inventor tho combination Is ono ex tremely satisfying. It has the added merit of cleanliness, thero being but a single sug gestive remark In tho whole tnlc, and that by Hupcrt of Hent7.au, who dcllbcrntcly casts n slur on I'rlnccsa Klavla for tho very purpose of angering Itassendyll. It has tho. effect and tho stab Is delivered under Its mvrr. Itassendyll was surely tho "noblest Elphbcrg of them all." Manager Ilurgcss Insists that It was by nceldent rather than design that tho sequel to 'Tho Prisoner of Zemin" follows the main story nt tho Iloyd. "Hupcrt of Hentrau" was undoubtedly written by Hopo to satisfy n public demand for moro of his auburn hatred horo, and with an eyo to dramatiza tion. It will bo very satisfying to Omaha pcoplo to bo able to follow him from start to finish In two nights. At tho vaudevlllo houses last week ordi narily good blllH received excellent patron age. Tho popularity of this form of amuse ment Is an ovldcnco of public tasto along tho linn suggested In The Deo last week. People want to bo amused and distracted, rather than Instructed, at tho plnyhouses. Tho short sketches and widely differing nets that mako up tho vaudevlllo programs certainly meet u popular demand. Eugenie Illnlr has many worm friends among tho theater-goers of tho west. Her annual trip Is always looked forward to with pleasure, and theso friends aro hoping tLnt soon, say next season, they may sea her In a play that will glvo her great natural talent mora scope. Sho has been a charming Parthenla ono who would havo tamed oven n wilder savage- than Ingomar for such reward as Ills ; a wIiihoiuo Vir ginia, n lovely Desdcmona, a hoydenlsh Clo, anil u tantalizing Carmen. Now wo want to seo her In something better. As Clnrlnda Wlldalrs sho lifts u rommonplaco melo dramatic part almost to tho level of high art. No actress could lift It higher than does Miss Hlnlr. Hut tho part does not call for tho actress. From tho very be ginning of tho play to Its closing Its every line, Its every situation Is arranged to enlist the sympathy of tho audience on the Ido of tho star. Thoro aro powerfully dramatic climaxes lu tho plUy, but not one of them requires n great actress, us tho natural action of tho play Is such as abso lutely precludes any of her support, how ever umbltlous, from "taking the, scene." This sort of drama, oven though It docs draw well, cannot prove satisfactory to a palnstnklng, zealous artist, such as Miss Dlalr. Kor all that sho Invests tho char actor with her own llro, sho must feel all the time that s'ho Is falling short of her capabilities. In this light her friends nrn pt to look on her and long for tho day when sho will llnd the play that will com pel her to do her utmost In order to con quer nnd command tho npplauso und cur tain call that now fallow all too easily on platitudinous heroics declolmcd In her musical way. Miss Illnlr's talent Is of too flno a quality to bo wasted much longer on Clorlnda WlldalrB. Another favorite nmons western pcoplo has como to tho front of tho public stugo during tho week. Miss Henrietta Crossman has enlisted under the banner of Mrs. Minnie. Maddorn-Klske, and will devote the rest of her llfo to fighting tho "octopus" as It la roprojented In things theatrical by tho general firm of Klaw & Erlnngcr. It Is too long n store to relate hero, tho occasion for Miss Crossmnn's sudden rebellion. Like all stories, It has two sides, Last Saturday night Mlsi Crossman addressed her nudl onco at tho Savoy theater In New York, whero sho has been presenting "Mlstross Nell," telling them thero would bo no further presentation of tho play at tho Bavoy, Sho enumerated a list of reasons, saying sho had been subjected to many, petty persecutions by Messrs. Klaw & Krlangcr, tho final act being tho refusal of permis sion to seo her husband, who Is also her manager, during a performance, Miss Crossman was cheered by tho audience. On thn other hand, It Is set up by Messrs. Klaw & Krlangcr that tho play was not tho success It has been reported, (lint tho re olp.B were c ns an ly falling nway, trat Mr. Campbell had not sought for bookings for a tour among tho theaters controlled by tho syndicate, and that It was advantageous to both sides to break off tho contract nt tho Savoy. This U. in brief, tho statement of tho case. Miss Crossman Is now lined up with Mrs. Minnie Maddcrn-Klske, Inde pendent of tho syndicate Theso two charm ing women havo tho spirit to light against tho great odd's they will encounter, for not only has tho syndicate n tremendous ad vantage In tho control of a lino list of mm you don't mi well.

Insist on gottlng tho genuine article HostetterS Stomach Bitters theaters throughout the country, but It also has plays very similar to those offered by Mrs. Klsko nnd Miss Crossman, presented by women equally well known. As, for ex ample, Ada Itehan Is presenting "Sweet Nell of Old Drury" to take tho place In Now York of Henrietta Crossman In "Mistress Nell." Sympathy will all be with tho women who hopo by their Individual merit to win against n powerful combina tion of capital, managerial ability and ar tistic talent. Miss Crossman's manager Is her husband, Mr. Maurice Campbell, a former Journalist, who had won for himself nn excellent name In tho New York newspaper world and whose ripe Judgment nnd keen Insight saw tho possibilities of tho play which has scored so heavily In New York. He figures largely In tho dlDlculty. and It Is not nt all Im probable that ho will secure for his charm ing wlfo nil tho advantage, that will grow from her present prominent position. Tho week promises to bo one of the most Important of tho season nt the Iloyd. Open ing with Ilownrd (lould In "Hupcrt of Hcntzau" and closing with Charles II, Han ford In "Private John Allen," ThomaB Q. Scabrooko and Kduard Strauss coming be tween, It will bo ono continual round of good things. Howard Gould has established a reputation as an actor of the Klpberg parts nlmost equal to that of Hackctt. He will bo as well liked here. Seabrooke Is pleasantly recalled In connection with his "Islo of Champagne" and his "Derby Win ner" and Omaha people class him with Hopper, Daniels nnd Wilson ns a fun maker. Strauss Is, of course, tho only Strauss, and Hanford Is too well known ns a strong comedian of tho moro serious school to require a lengthy Introduction. Ho was with Kidder and James last sea son, taking tho Fred Wardo end of tho firm, but Is now offering to tho people n play that suits him Immensely well. This list ought to Insure excellent business at tho Hoyd. Kach of tho vaudevlllo houses Is offering a splendid bill, nnd altogether there Is much to attract people to the playhouses. f'onilliu: lit I'litN. Tho romantic story of love and ad venture which Anthony Hopo told lit "Tuo Prisoner of Zenda," nnd continued in "Hu pcrt of Hcntzau," forms tho basis of a fascinating pair of dramas. Tho appear nnco nt Iloyd's theater Sunday afternoon and night und Monday night of Mr. Howard Oould and compnuy. presenting "Hupcrt of Hcntzau," under tho auspices of Daniel Krohman, w'll bo welcomed by local theater patrons nnd admirers of Anthony Hope's books nnd plays. "Hupert of Hcntzau" tells of tho futuro doings of tho characters mado famous In "Tho Prisoner of Zenda." Tho story unfolds with a striking scene In the cnstlo of Zcndn In tho tlrst act, and Is carried on rapidly through a series of thrilling Incidents In tho forest of Zenda in tho second act, to reach what has been called tho "penultimato climax" of tho play at tho closo of tho third act, a duel sccno that for originality of conception and uncanventlonnlity of method has not been equaled In recent dramatic produc tions. There Is n fourth act which affords a plcturcsquo contrast ,to those which havo preceded It. "Tho nounders" Is tho namo of tho latest Now York Casino success, which will bo seen nt Iloyd's theater Tuesday night nnd Wednesday matinee nnd night, with come dian Thomas Q. Scabrooko as Its brightest, most particular star. Manager Lcdcrcr presents Thomas Q. Seahrookc as Maglnnls Pasha at tho head of tho organization which Is n guaranty ns to tho quality of tho comedy clement. Mr. Scnbrooko Is so well known that tho slmplo announcement of his name Is sufficient. Tho play Is from tho French musical farco entitled "Lei Fetards," written by Mars Hennequln nnd adapted with original lyrics by Harry II. Smith, on original musical scoro having i been composed by Ludwlg Knglonder. Tho story Is that of an American girl, mar ried to a wicked French marquis, who bo- haves as such aristocrats do, especially on tlje Btnge. Sho falls to fall Into his ways and Instend of becoming "Parlslnnlzed"' sho sits around nnd mopes, thinking that It Is nil very unfortunate. Sho eventually gets a little worldly wisdom and resolves to do n llttlo Hlrtlng herself, not for tho lllrtn lion's sake, but morely as a medicinal dose for her wayward husband. Sho simulates an attachment for Maglnnls Pnshn, tho Irish Turk, nnd Incidentally tho funny man of tho piny. Mixed up with tho Btory Is a blaso man of tho world, who has tried "everything and found nothing In It," nn "up-to-dato American girl" nnd a host of Parisian Jolly people. Herr Kduard Strauss, the surviving mem ber of tho celebrated Strauss family of com posers and conductors, will bo at tho Iloyd on Friday night of this week nt tho head of his own Vienna orchestra. This slmplo announcement Is enough, for wherever thn waltz Is known tho nnmo of Strauss li rovered. As n conductor Kduard excels any of tho fnmlly, and memories of his former visit here cluster around n wizard In a severo uniform who, with his baton, evoked such music from tho grcnt orchestra as Justified, Indeed, the trtto expression, "dreamy." This will bo ono of the musical ovents of tho year In Omaha. Next Saturday at iloyd's theater Charles 11. Hanford nnd a company In artistic keep ing with his superior ability will present at afternoon and ovenlng performances tho refined political comedy, "Private John Allen." The sceno of this play Is laid In Caddo pariah, Louisiana, and It deals with the stirring Incidents nnd situations sur rounding n fierce political contest, but In such a manner ns to wholly avoid possible offenBO to any partisan. Tho rolo essnyed by Mr. Hanford affords him opportunity for strong, sentimental, dramatic achievement rather than hllarlousness. Thoro aro so many good turns on the Or pheum bill for tho coining week that two or throo might be termed headllners. Prob ably moro people In Omnha will be Inter ested In May do Snusa than In any other act, owing to her having attended tho Sa cred Heart academy for a long time. She Is n vocalist with a well modulated soprano volco and Is a favorite wherever sho np- BLOOD pears. She will sing among others "Bath House" John Coughlln's song "Tho Midnight of Love." Llzzlo and Vine Daly, dancers, Introduce n wide range of steps from the clog to n veritable whirlwind finish. Wright Huntington, who was with the Woodward Stock company In Omnha several years ago, heads a clever company nnd gives to the public his comedy, "A Stolen Kiss." Hob ertus and Wllfrcdo, who come direct from Kuropc, are very clover Jugglers and equili brists, their work being graceful, difficult and neat. Hilda Thomas Is a bundle of vivacity In her new skit, "The Lono Star." In which sho is assisted by Lou Hall. The Harmony Four, James Urnchman, F. M. Harnett, T. 0. Ilergeion and Kdwnrd Hughes, offer on oct that Is new and pleas ing, being a comedy with musical Interrup tions, "At tho Way Station." Dorothy Wal tcrs will give a whistling turn. The kino dromo will show all new pictures, among which Is one ol n circular panorama of Mauch Chunk, Pa. May do Sousa, who appears at tho Or phcum this week, has signed with Manager Pcrlcy to understudy Miss Alice Ncllson and will leavo vaudevlllo to Join them March 1. Thursday evening tho Modern Woodmen of America will nttend tho Crolghton-Or-phcum In a body. For this week, commencing with tho mat Inco today, nt Mlaco's Trocadcro, Manager Rosenthal has secured Fred Irwin's Ma jestic Ilurlesqucrs, ono of tho largest and best burlesque attractions on the rond. This company Is of such magnltudo Hint It is rarely seen outside of Now York or Chicago. Tho eastern advance notices in regard to this company.spcok In tho highest terms of tho "Majesties;" tho scenic effects ore pro nounced to bo marvels, the costumes wcro Imported from Paris for this production, tho electrical effects aro dazzling and weird. In the olio aro such well known specialty artists as Mile. Roy, tho dancing sensation; Swain nnd Hurgcss, German dia lect comedians; liaader and La Velio, fancy nnd trick bicyclists; Jessie Pndgham, Bwcet vocalist; the Hydon and Nelson trio, triple bar experts; Ilcllln sisters, singing sou brettcs; Trolley Car Trio, Kuropcan novelty acrobats. As a special attraction n num ber of living pictures, models of famous pictures, will bo Introduced. Tho two burlesques wero written especially to nmuso nnd are entitled "Mixed nnd Twisted" nnd "Tho Knelpp Cure." The engagement Is for ono week only, with dally matinees at 2:15; Ono of tho real treats of the season will bo tho return by Klbcrt Hubbard of tho Philistine- nt tho First Methodist church on Mondny night. Fra Klbcrtus will talk of William Morris, tho great Kngllsh ndvo cnte of handcraft In whoso path tho Hoy crofters aro following. William Morris was not alono a great poet; ho was a prac tical poet, and gavo his Ideas llfo In works. Ho revived handcraft In Knglnnd and placed It on a high plane. His printing houso Is famous nil through tho world of letters, tho Kelmscott editions being as precious as tho Klzcvlrs or other triumphs of early skill In bookmaklng. Mr. Morris believed In tho honest wedding of hend and hand In tho doing of whatever task was allotted to the doer, and Klbert Hubbard Is tho highest exponent of this Idea on this sldo of the Atlantic. It will bo pleasant to hear tho eminent dUclplo on tho subject of tho work of tho great master. MUSIC, Under tho beaming moon Is thero to bo found a civilized place where tho fascinating movements of tho gilding waltz aro not known? Is thero a placo whero tho poetry of motion Is set a-going by music nnd tho dreamy,- lovo-llt waltz Is not seized upon ns tho ono dnnco In which a tender sym pathy of eenso nnd soul can bo experienced? And yet, the many young people who so enjoy that amusement (by sonio deemed so harmful and by somo so Innocent), aro not all aware that tho Strauss family of Vlcnnn created and dovelopcd to Its present Btnge that danco which today stands as the great cosmopolitan danco-movement. Tho origin of tho wnltz is by Bomo attributed to Schubert, and, whether this Is so or not, It Is truo that tho elder Johann Strauss Imbued his work with tho characteristic Classic Elmnllcltv nnd nrnrnfiil nnlvntn nt tho swcot-souled Frnnzf Peter, whoso last name wob scliubert. Tho elder Strnusa, who Is called tho Father of tho Waltz, was a contemporary of Joseph Lanncr nnd played viola In his quartet. Later, when Lannor Increased his forces, Johann Strauss, tho elder, becamo assistant nnd conducted one of tho two sections of tho large orchestra, which was tho natural outgrowth of multiplicity of engagements. It wns but a short tlmo until Johnnn formed an organiza tion of his own, and, while ho and Lannor remained good friends, thero were Lnn nerltes nnd Strnussltes among tho people, each faction worshipping its own Ideal. Do" tween theso two men tho waltz originated, tho waltz as wo understand It, useful for concert or ball room. In view of tho fact that one of tho sons of this Johann Strauss Is at present In this country nnd with his Vlcnneso orchestra will nppear hero at the Iloyd theater on Friday night of this week, this family sketch may not bo uninteresting. The son alluded to Is Kduard, who Is ono of tho three great sons of a great father. Kduard has conducted that magnetic orchestra, whoso famo Is world-renowned, ever slnco tho year 1870, at all of tho court balls and In tho Volksgnrten. Ho Is a good con ductor, nnd, while ho has not mado tho great and lasting namo of his brother, Johann, tho younger, who died but a short time ago, yet his compositions are not, by any means, to bo thought lightly of. Tho great and prolific Johann, who wroto tho "Hluo Dnnube," (although this Is not representative of his best works), was born In October, 182,". and was married to Jotty Treffz, a well known actress and singer, and through her Influence, it Is said, Johann turned his attention from tho ball room nnd tho court dance to tho Btngo and laid tho foundation for what wo know today ns comic opera. For ho choso to wrlto waltzes, polkas and sketches nnd to string them to gethcr on a libretto, making thereby an "operetta." This was foreshadowed by his "niuo Danube," which wns written for mnlo chorus and orchestra. Though not always fortuuato In his llbrottlsts, theso chnplets of songs, words, dances nnd Jolly rhythmis Beetles developed Into tho production of operettas, or light operas, which today are sung In various languages and aro popular the world over, such for Instnnco as the "Gipsy Ilaron," tho "Queen's Lnco Handker chief," tho "Merry War," etc. But In future generations Johann Strauss, the younger, will bo remembered as tho "Waltz King." Just ns his father was tho "Father of tho Waltz," Tho greatness of his work In that line consists In tho fact that ho brought the classle beauty of the highest music to the development of the lowly form of tho humble waltz and clothed It thereby with a rich and beautiful ap pnrel, Theodoro Thomas has done mneli in further tho Strauss movemont In America, tils programs frequently containing ono of tho flnor waltzes of Strnuss, written with more design for concert use than ntlinmUn i Johann 8trauss was u genius. Ho was also n musi r in selecting material for his in strumentation, His colorings are full of piquancy nnd delicacy and no ono should miss hearing tho great Vienna organization, wY.cn possible, for It Ib revelation, pure and slmplo. It Is tho Ideal form of musical en joyment for the peoplo generally, Ono does not require keen analytical Interpretation nor musical knowlcdgo to feel that magnetic rhyme. It is omnipresent nnd nll-pcrvad-lng Johann was nt tho Peace Jubilee at Ilos ton In 182 with tho orchestrn and Kduard was in this country before In 1890, conduct ing tho famous Viennese Instrumentalists and appearing at tho historic Coliseum lu this city, Kduard Is conducting on this tour. An nrtlclo appeared In a recent Issue of tho Kpworth Herald relating to the progress of tho Methodist Kptscopal church In tho century which has Just passed. Tho Kp worth Herald may be said to represent the younger clement of Methodism. In tho article aforesaid thero Is a statement to tho effect that when Illshop Asbury beheld for tho first tlmo n Methodist church In Newport, H. I., with n splro ho exclaimed, "Well, well, a splro nnd a bell, tho next thing vlllhe nn organ and n choir, and then good-bye Methodism." A local church pa per commenting on this suggests that Meth odism, with Its magnificent churches, col leges, universities, seminaries and deacon ess' homes nnd hospitals, etc., would prob ably open tho eyes of tho conservative old prclato who thought that Music, which Is tho gift of God and has for Its Inspiration divinity, would turn tho pcoplo cnllcd Meth odists from tho object of their worship. How nbsurd to think that what comes from God should turn pcoplo away from Ills church. Illshop Asbury wns doubtless a great man along certain lines, but he was not great enough to realize tho greatness of music. A greater than he, John Wesley, tho founder of the Mothodlst church, said on ono occasion, "Tho music of 'Glory to God In tho Highest' pealed forth from such nn organ ns I never snw or heard be faro, so largo, so beautiful and so full toned." If churches were to have their fato settled by some of their ndhorcnts a single threat would bo enough to accomplish tholr overthrow. Iitshop Asbury Is dead. Methodism Is ra diantly alive and growing moro so, notwith standing tho fact that Its churches havo spires and bells, stained glass windows nnd organs, choirs, In many cases vested or gowned (nftcr tho truo manner of Wesleyan democracy) and beautiful choral services. And, furthermore, tho said church Is ting ling with n concentration of Its live forces and Is stretching forth to still mightier nchlevemcnts, despite the Intc-lamented bishop's gloomy prognostication, nnd also dcsplto tho exlstenco of Bomo present-day followers of Illshop Asbury! Music, Heavenly maid, knows no theology, no sect, no creed, no ngc, no nationality, has no geographical limits, nor limits ecclesiastical. Every slnco the Heavenly muse, "that on tho fiocrct top of Orcb, or of Slnal, dld'st Inspire that Shepherd, who first taught tho chosen seed In tho beginning, how tho Heavens nnd earth roso out of Chaos." Kvcr slnco that tlmo when "Such music (ns tls' paid) Hefore. was never made, Hut when of old tho sons of morning sung, While tho Creator grcnt Ills constellations set, And tho well-balanced world on hinges hung, And cast tho dark foundations deep. And bid tho weltering waves their oozy channel keep." jvcr tlnco, music has been tho hand maid of God and his religion, Tho ox Vlalcabla theology, tho ono phaso of wor ship, accepted Dy secto differing on all other points, tho ono sourco of Inspiration, to all nntlons without exception. Tho ono creed whoso disciples aro to bo found In all places known to geography, and tho ono cosmopoli tan language, which binds man to his fellow-men by chords of sympathy and feel ing. The following Item Is clipped from tho Horlln, Kngllsh and American Register of November 4, and may be of Interest to some locnl friends and admirers of tho gentle man alluded to. Tho Item has been sent to mo by a mutual friend: "Mr. nnd Mrs. Vlco Consul General Hanauer, at Frankfort-on-Mnln, last week entertained Captain Heart of tho United States army nnd his son, Victor Hlnrt. Tho latter, n native from Leavenworth, Kan., Is a prodigy In music and a worthy compeer of Paderowskl and Rosenthal. "This young American star pianist will, next week, delight tho Gotha by performing in concerts nt Gotha. Later on ho will fill engagements nt Herlln. America nnd all Americans at homo or abroad havo Just cause to bo proud of this musical paragon of American growth." I can vouch for tho certainty of Mr. Wil lis In announcing tho Whitney Mockrldge Concert company as his great Young Men's Christian association attraction for Thurs day night next. Whitney Mockrldgo has been heard hero before on many occasions nnd his beautiful tenor volco hn3 never failed to please. A certain disappointment was felt lost season over a concert given supposedly by Whitney Mockrldgo nnd com pany. This attraction Is not tho samo. Tho Young Men's Christian association concert will be given by tho real Mockrldgo. Mme. Sembrlch, at tho head of her op eratic company, Is booked for an evening at tho Hoyd. Sousa Is' booked at tho Hoyd for tho last of this month. Tho following Is tho Strauss program for Friday night, alluded to In the beginning of this article: Part I.
