dero uncommonly good vaudeville bills

Is still on the lists as a "one nUht" town,
but It must be eminently satisfactory to
the managers of alt companies that come
here to Dnd the seats all filled on that
one night, rather than extended over two
or three In this respect Omaha enjoys a
distinct advantage over other points on the.
western theatrical circuit. It Is an ex
tremely rare occurrence fcr a really first
class attraction to pai this city without
appearing at the Iloyd. and. on the other
hand, the "bookings" have been so arranged
tlat It seldom happens that a poor show Is
brought In merely to Oil time. It Is a
physical impossibility this far west to al
ways have tho best on exhibition, but
Omaha easily gets lt share, and during the
last two seasons at least has fared far
better than some of the more pretentious
but less discriminating cities on this side
of tho .Mississippi. Last week was a good
sample. Howard Oould, Thomas Q. Sea

Howard Oould Is kept as busy as a nailer

It would seem that he would bo glad when
tho end comes and he Is relieved of th?
arduous combination of lightning change

and the like as though he really enjoyj
hard work. Senbrooke left his usual mirk
In Omaha "I may bo wrong" and added
to his Hat of friends. Strauss Is Straus.
EUff with the air of the most exclusive
court In Europe, ho was found absolutely
unapproachable. Indeed, It Is doubtful if
Franz-Josef himself would bo harder to
net at than Strauss. Hanford made an
excellent Impression and gave a very good
answer to the wondering query why he left
aieasr3. WMgcnhill & Kemper's trl-star com
bination. Ho has a good play and Is doln;
better for himself than ho could have done
with the James Kidder company.
Thcro was nothing wonderful at cither
the Orpheum cr tho Trocadcro during the
reek. Local Interest In May de Sousa drew
many people to the Orpbcum.
Of Strauss a man now In Omaha tells
Iks follow Inn story: "I was engaged by
Manager Ulakeley to act as advanco agent
ror Uic tour In 1S&0. I saw Strauss but
lour times during the entire tour, but one
of thtie Ubhh gavo me a good notion of
one of his little peculiarities. That Is In
regard to the spelling of his name. If It
eoizw ont Edward Instead cf Eduanl thcro's
trouble. A. Milwaukee I was called back
tcr consultation with Mr. Hlakclcy. and
UTlTid at the hotel Just In tlrco to hear
Strauss make his great kick. He was to
ippcar at a matinee that afternoon and
had somehow gotten hold of a house
program. There was the fatal w, and
Strauss "sras burning with rage. Ho flatly
and absolutely refused to go on with his
concert tin! res his name was spelled as ho
-wauled It. The npshot of the whole matter
was that I had to 'arrange for the reprint
ing of the programs, and Mr. nlakcley had
to pay ths bill, but Kdcard Strauss' name
was stxjlled dz he wanttd It."
It Is cas to understand from this
anecdote why Strauss shut his door against
Omaha musicians who sought hlxa at his
hotel and at the theater on Friday.
Not Is tho time to Icok up your Ollen
dorf and your history of France. Sarah
Tlernhardt and her company. Including M.
Cornel In. will be !n Omaha for ono night
only. Tuesday, February 3, when the
ItcstaiaJ play. "IAlglon," will he presented.
One of the remarkable features of modern
literature la that presented In the designa
tion cf the one-act play. "Maximo Butter
fly," as a charming story. Omaha people
haie yet to see It on tho stage, tu: are
tamlllar with It. as the tale was published
first In a leading magazine. There la no
question as to the dramatic strength of
"Madame Butterfly." it Is the talo of a
Japanese girl's 'cr 33 officer In tho
American nav7. Thej aro wedded and set
BP an establishment la the Japancso city
nhtre she was bcra. Her parents and rela
tives expect to profit by her connection with
the American and aro Intensely uisgusicu
when they find that sho Is actually married
to him InstcaJ of merely sustaining th9
nod the trust. It is gratifying to note.
tLough, tha ib'- is finding playhouses In
j-ltnty where she can give her plays, for
it would be the crudest possible blow If
the "truil"' were to deprive the public en
tirely of Minnie's sweet presence on the
strge.
Mils Crosman will begin her Independent
tour next week, her first appearance In
"Mlstrejs Nell" outside of New York being
at the Orpheum theater in Philadelphia on
January ii. Her manager. Mr. Campbell,
says he has hail no trouble in arranging
a tour for his star, and that be has really
had to decline offers from managers of the
aters because he could not fill all the en
gagements. In the meantime the theatrical papers are
tcnnlng over with the discussion of tho
situation, the rebellion of Miss Crosman
having added fuel to the flames that were
smoldering since the outbreak that fol
lowed Mrs. Fiske's defection. If there Is
no other result of the affair, two charming
and popular actresses will be the recipients
of an Immense amount of advertising they
could not otherwise have obtained.

Charles E. Evans comes to Boyd's theater
this afternoon to remain until Tuenlay
night, giving four performances of a double
bill, "Naughty Anthony" and "Madame
Butterfly." Mr. Evans became famous In "A
Parlor Match" and "Naughty Anthony."
which Is one of David Belasco's comedies,
affords hlra an equal opportunity fcr the dlf
play of his gifts as a comedian. In
"Naughty Anthony" Mr. Etans acts the
prcfessor of moral culture to the life. Aside
from Mr. Evans there Is. of course, much
Intcrcs.lng matter and manv Interesting
people In "Naughty Anthony." Cora, the
professor's star pupil, acted by Miss Valerie
Bergere. furnishes more than sufficient
excuse for the professor's many peccadilloes
Before ;he fun of "Naughty Anmony" be
glut, however, the curtain first rises upon
"Madame Butterfly." which has aroused the
apptauie of thousands of play-goers. The
heroine is acted by Miss Bergere. who
shows her versatility In portraying suc
cessfully the widely divergent characters
In the double bill.
Beginning with a matinee Wednesday
afternoon and concluding Thursday night
"My Friend from India" will be given three
presentations at Boyd's theater this week
by the Myron B. Rice comedy company.

With her are Edna Ewcn, Ro6e Tapley,
Emma Chase, Lewis Peters. Walter Col
ligan. Lute Vrohman, Millard Simpson. Wil
liam T. Gaunt. Frank Parry anil Os:ar
Luckstone. A number of high-class
vaudeville features have been introduced
into the play this season and the music Is
of such a character that It has been found
necessary to carry a musical director to
Interpret it.
Beginning Friday night and continuing
for two performances, Mr. Frank Keenan
cornea to Boyd's theater to present "A Poor
Relation," a play made famous by Sol
Smith Russell. Mr. Keenan and company
are under the direction of Mr, Fred G.
Bergera, who has for years been manager
for Sol Smith Russell. Mr. Keenan took
Mr. Russell's place last winter when that
actor was takon 111 and starred In this
play, scoring a success which surprised his
most ardent metropolitan admirers. He Is
supported by a capable and well balanced
company. Including such well known play
ers us Miss Maud Abbott, who was last
season with Viola Allen In "The Christian:"
Miss Kato Long, who was the character
comedienne of tho Sol Smith Russell com
pany; Miss Katharine Doollng, who has for
two seasons been creating soubretto roles

and varied with all the skill of long-experienced
managerial craft will be provided at

goers of all classes with the most exalted
standard of modern vaudeville. Kara, the
marvelous Juggler, will represent' ono of
tho greatest novelties ever presented In
this country. A delightful feature of the

Omaha music'ans who have known Mr.
Whitney Mockrldge. the celebrated tenor,
were very fortunate, during the last few
days, In having the privilege of being with
him a great deal of the time, as It so hap
pened that there was a break In his Itin
erary which gave him more time than was
expected lis the city of Omaha. Personally,
I was dcldedly encouraged by his visit, en
couraged In more ways than one. Some
times It becomes burdensome to keep up
a running fight on sham, shoddy and stuff,
but when one meets and talks with a man
like Mockrldge he Is Inspired with new
vigor and he feels that It Is worth white
to stand up for the right, the true and
the beautiful In music.
Mr. Mockrldge Is convincing In his sing
In?, and he Is earnest In his work. He
satisfies the measurements of Fra Elbertus,
for ho truly finds "Joy" In his "work."
Looking at him from the standpoint of a
singer one can draw a few lessons which
arc perhaps worth careful consideration.
Ease The absence of effort Is very no
ticeable In bis ulnglng, his highest and full
est tone Is delivered with the case of the
lowest and softest. An absolute control of
the breathing muscles and of the voice
producing clement shows Itself In every
sound he utters.
Tone Color There is no danger of mis
taking his "0" for his "00," or his "A"
for an "E." Every vowel has Its own
color, and that Is something which every
real singer ought to aim for. Beware of
the teacher who altows one to slide around
and all over a vowel, Instead of giving It
Its proper color. Mr. Mockrldge can lay
claim to perfect articulation and this Is
largely due to the wonderful mannrr In
which he emphasizes his vowel colors. So
many tenors nowadays are careless about
this phase of the art. expecting a good
voice to atone for all kinds of faults, In
minor degree, that It Is a genuine pleasure
to pay Mr. Mockrldge a well-earned tribute.
Tho authority of Mr. Mockrldge's work
impresses one. It Is sincere. One canndt
but feel that he Is a man with a message
to deliver and that he does his duty In
delivering It. He sings as though no one
could dispute him. and this Is because he
has carefully thought and studied out the
manner In which he Is going to give forth
his utterances. He does not wait on In
spiration. Inspiration waits on him. Whit
ney Mockrldge is a good man for singers
to copy.
When Strauss comes upon the stage
there is a fascination about the peculiar
but gifted member of the old Vienna
family which passes powers of descrip
tion. On Friday night he was full of man
nerism and that Individuality which goes
to make up the name of a great master of
an art. After all, music is so great that
unless a man has some distinguishing
characteristic, he is likely to be over
looked. Eduard Strauss has peculiarities,
but they are not eccentricities. He is
simply original. He Is unique. While the
orchestra Is composed of good musicians,
there arc few artists nnd scarcely any
solo players. But the work is generally
good and the men are all simply parts of
a great ensemble.

nas styled a few restful moments. Ono of
tho most entertaining features In the vaude
ville world Is Tom Lewis and Sam J. Ryan,
two well known comedians, in a laughable
sketch. "Tho Two Actors." Lewis blacks
up and advertises himself as a comedian
who is funny, whllo Ryan Impersonates a
broken-down actor and Is billed as a
cornelian who can act. The brother.) Heme

daring act. Edna Collins, the phenomenal

Tho attraction at Mlaco's Trocadero for
this week, beginning with tho matinee to
day. Is Bissell's "Fads nnd Follies"
Burlesquer. under the direction of William
Blsscll, who Is also manager of the Star
theater. Brooklyn, N. Y. "Fads and
Follies" will bo presented for the first
tlmo this season and will be clothed In an
cntlro new garb. The opening burletta Is
entitled "Tim Sullivan's Chowder." br
Roy Smith, whose songs have earned
and gained a wide popularity, has secured
another friend In Whitney Mockrldge, who
wilt sing one or more of the products of
the Nebraska composer In London next
season. Mr. Mockrldge sang "My Wee
Bird" at his concert tho other night and
he sang It beautifully. Mr. Smith will
doubtless be encouraged to continue In his
work as n song writer nnd it is to be
hoped that he will meet with success. He
Is tho victim of a rare disease; that Is.
modesty. If he claimed more than he does
ho would gain more. I am Inclined to
think that If it had not been for Oan
Wheeler, the popular tenor, who has not
only sung, but published Roy Smith's
hongs, Mr. Smith would yet be one of the
"unknowns."
At the annual congregational meeting of
Kountze Memorial church last week
tho music was furnished by a
quartet, which will doubtless be
heard frequently in church and con
cert work and which Includes some very
good talent. The members of the quartet
are Mlfs Weaver. Miss Schoncfeldt. Mr.
Dan Wheeler, Jr., and Mr. Delmore
Cheney.
Mr. Cheney Is one of those delightful fel
lows who can talk music and something
else besides. He is the Ideal musician
from the critic's standpoint, because
he can stand criticism. He docs not
feel that the critic is an enemy,
but he considers him n friend. I
am told on good authority that Mr. Cheney
Is making a great success of his choir work
and Mr. Trefz has whispered to me that
Mr. Cheney Is "all right."

local music lovers Is the advent of Mmc.

local manager, will put his seats on sale

an opportunity to hear an opera which has
