AMUSEMENTS.
Whllo tho Inst week has not been fraught
1th an abundance of theutrlcal amuse
munts It ban been by no means tho least
interesting ono of tho season. There wcro
but two new plays offered for the con
eldoratton of local patrons of the drama,
"Madatno Ilutterfly" and '"Naughty An
thony." Thcflo brought us a welcome return
of ttvans, who has mado his namo a house
hold word In connection wlthJtoey. nnd Miss
Iiergere, whoso stylo Is as rofrcshlnK as
the star's. It Is too bad Ihey did not get
the patronngo they so easily merited.
During tho last half of tho week Frank
Kecnau, who Is making an earnest on
diavor to All Sol Smith Itussell's place upon
tho stage, during what Is sincerely hoprd
to bo but tho latter's temporary retirement,
Jicct'eded In creditably portraying ono of
Mr. Itussell's best characters. Mr. Kcennn
has a voice that could bo easily taken for
Mr. Itussell's and ho has Btudlcd the lat
ter's make-up ami mannerisms until ho Is
nblo to copy them with a high degreo of
accuracy, but people havo seen Itussell hlm
Belf In his original creation of tho character
of "Noah Valo" and do not caro to ucccpt
a substitute.
At tho vaudovlllo theaters tho entertain
ment ottered was of a high quality for this
class of amusement and tho patronngo
during tho week was exceptionally liberal,
Speaking of Sol Smith HufscH's retire
ment, T. N. O'Xoll, who Is munnglng Mr.
Kcenan's tour, which Is being made under
tho direction of Mr. l'rcd Ilergcr. Mr.
Itussell's brothcr-ln-lnw, said: "Just now
Mr. Hussoll Is enjoying a iuupIi needed rest
nnd, not withstanding all tho Btorlcs of
his weakness of mind, will bo on tho road
ngnln next season. Kred Herger, Ills man
ager, Is looking after the Interests of his
own stock company In Washington and Mr.
Itussell Is with hint. As Is tho caBo with
all stock companies, rehearsals aro held
every duy and many of them aro personally
directed by Mr. Itussell. Ills break down
two years ago was caused by overwork,
Imply a collap.se of thn nervous system.
It will, of course, tako tlmo for him to fully
recover, but tbero Is not tho slightest
truth In thn rumor that his mind is per
manently affected. Mr. Herger Is having a
new play written for him nnd ho will ntnrt
on a tour next fall. Tho now pleco Is to
havo twenty-six speaking parts anil a
sumptuous production. Anyone acquainted
with Mr. Itussell and his plays knows that
In none of them aro there moro than
eight or ten speaking parts and the magni
tude of tho proposed production can ha
loncolvod somewhat by this statement." '
Valeria Hcrgcrc, tho charming Httlo
woman who appeared In tho title rolo of
N'Modamo Iltjtterlly" hero last week,
Is an actress in whom David
Ilclasco thinks ho has another Mrs.
Leslie Carter and it is said that he Is
writing a play in which she Is to star
next season. In Bpcnklng of how sho camo
to Join Mr. Ilelasco's forces Miss Iiorgere
said: "Shortly after I commenced to act
I made a personal application to Mr.
Ilclasco for an engagement and, while ho
was very nlcn to me, ho exhibited a little
surprise nt an actress of so littlo standing
in thn thcatrlcnl world as myself applying
to him for n position and told mo to make
application nnothor time, after I had had
moro experience. Not discouraged, I ac
cepted an engagement with a Btock com
pany In Philadelphia. I remained thero
for some tlmo, playing a number of varied
roles, which, proved to bo nn cxcollent
pchool for mo. Lnst season I accepted a,
position as leading lady with tho Dear
born Stock company of Chicago and after
Its closo I concluded to try Mr. Ilclasco
ngaln. This tlmo I wns successful. I
told him I should llko to try tho part of
Mme. Ilutterfly, knowing that ho was
going to put It on tho road this year. Ha
declined to promlso that I should havo
this part nnd seemed to doubt my ability
to do It, but said ho would lot mo ro
hearBo it. I will hardly forgot tho first
rohenrsol, at which Mr. Uclasco was pres
ent. Ho sat nlono- In tho parquot and
watched every movo made upon tho stngo.
Of courso I had no way of knowing whethor
my work was Impressing him or not until
Just before tho death sccno, which, as you
know, Is tho most dlfllcult to handlo of
nny In tho piece. At this Juncturo I am
compelled to turn my back to tho front of
tho stago for an Instant, and you can lm
nglno my feelings when upon turning around
I Baw Mr. Ilclasco deliberately get up nnd
leave tho thentcr. That Instant I lost all
Interest In my work, for I felt that It was
nil over; that Mr. liolnsco had stood It
as long as posslbla and left tho theater
rather than seo mo butcher tho last nnd
most Important sccno of his pretty play.
I felt thnt my summer's study and hard
work had been for naught, and I was upon
tho point of collapse when tho stngo man
nger saw that something wns wrong nnd
nnnounced that tho rehearsal of 'Butterfly'
would terminate, for tho tlmo nt least, and
thnt wo should return In tho afternoon for
a, rehearsal of 'Naughty Anthony.' I

lug for my lunch but a little bread and
milk and started Immediately for tho thea
ter, expecting to hear my fate. On my
arrival I found Mr. Delasco there. ..o
chatted for a moment upon topics of the
day, when ho suddenly stopped In tho mid
dle of a sentence nnd snld: 'Say, I think
you nre going to be great as Ilutterfly.'
Well, here wns another surprise. I could
have embraced him on tho spot, but, In
stend, I asked for nn explanation of hi.i
stinn&e nctlons nnd was Informed that
while my back wns to him his secretary
camo to Inform him that ho wns wanted
at once In tho box otllcc of the thenter, and
that this was tho cause of his sudden de
parture. After that he personally con
ducted many of tho rchenrsals nnd, as you
seo I am playing Ilutterfly. I consider
Mr. Ilclasco one of the greatest dratuntlsU
and stngc mamgers In tho world today
and to rehearse nnd appear under his direc
tions Is tho best schooling any nctrcss
can get."
Tho theatrical event of tho year In Omaha
will bo tho engagement of Sarah Hcrnhardt
and Constant Coquelln, supported by their
Parisian company of players. Uoth Hern
hardt and Coquelln have delighted Amer
ican thenter-goers In past years and al
ways under nusplccs that wcro artistic to n
superlative degree, but the peculiar Interest
nf tho present tour lies In their association,
n union In which there Is Indeed strength
of historic Importance in theatrical annals.
Mr. Maurice (Iran, under whose manage
ment they are now touring America, feels
qulto Justly that In this engagement lies
ono of tho most notable achievements of his
long and successful managerial career. Cer
tainly expense hns not been considered and
from every point of view tho plays of thn
striking rcpertolro aro presented on n moat
lavish scale. In this city, where tho en
gagement Is for Tuesday evening, Kobrunry
li, they will present "I.a Tosca," which was
written by Snrdou especially for Mme.
Ilcrnhnrdt. Tho local management Is do
servlng of tho wnnncst appreciation of tho
public for having secured so notnhlo and su
perior nn nttractlon for this city nnd its
efTort to provide for Omnha people this
opportunity of seeing theso two Btars to
gether. "Thero hns been a wonderful chango In
nil tlio western cities slnco I last visited
them some twelve or fourteen years ago
and especially noticeable Is tho chango In
Omnha," snid Charles li. Kvans, tho come
dian, In tho courso of n conversation with
tho writer during his engagement hero lnst
week. "You know I havo not been on tho
road for so long that tho'west and Its cities
havo grown almost beyond my comprehen
sion. On my first visit to Omaha back In
tho '70s thero wcro but few business
houses hero nnd tho city wns merely a vil
lage. I always mako It n point to look up
old landmarks when I vUlt cities whore I
played whon Hilly Hoey and I wore out to
gether. Monday afternoon I stnrtcd out to
hunt up Iloyd's first opera house, which
used to bo located about a block from tho
I'axton hotel. I found tho hotel, but could
not find tho opera house, and on Inquiry I
learned that It had long slnco burned down
Then I thought I would look up tho old
Acadomy of Music, whore In '78 Hill Ifooy
nnd I nppcared In 'Tho Book Agent,' which
wns afterwards rewritten by tho Into
Charles Hoyt and christened 'A Parlor
Match.' I knew that It was near tbo Mil
lard hotel and aa I sauntered down tho
north eldo of Douglas street I saw a build
ing upon tho opposite sldo of tho street
that looked familiar, but It did not bear
tho namo of tho ono I wns looking for. I
was sure, however, that It was the place
and know that tho namo must havo been
changed. I went ncross tho Btrect nnd
seeing a man In tho box office bought a
ticket and went up to havo n look at tho
placo which twenty-two years ago was tho
pride of Omaha, being nt that tlmo your best
theater. Tho sccno that met my gaze whon
I entered stunned mo for nn Instant, but It
did not tnko mo much longer to mako my
escape."
Frances Koppler, tho little Council
Illuffs girl who mado her dobut upon tho
local stago two years bko nnd who lina
slnco rlson to a placo of prominence upon
wie vauucviuo stage, is now touring tho
Kioth circuit in tho cast. Sho Is winning
praise from public and press nllko, somo
of tho Intter oven going so far ns to place
hor at tho head of America's child artists.
After finishing her eastern tour sho will
rest for a tlmo before going on tho road
with a sumptuous production of "A Mid
summer Night's Dream," which Is to bo
put on tho road next season by a promi
nent enstern managor and In which she
has been engaged to play tho part of Puck.
.John Scott, tho genial and good-natured
young man who has had chargo of tho box
offlco nt Iloyd's thenter for tho last two
seasons, has been elevated to tho position
of assistant manager, a well-deserved pro
motion. While Mr. Scott will continuo to
pnss out tho little ndmlssion pasteboards
at tho window ho will in tho absonco of
Mr. Ilurgess have full chargo of tho theater,
which at such times beforo has been
theoretically without n manager.
Mr. Scott has been associated with Mr.
Ilurgess ever slnco tho latter camo to
Omaha somo nine years ago. Ills first po
sition was that of a balcony usher In tho
old Farnam street theater. Ho has a host
of friends nmong the theatergoing public,
all of whom will doubtless bo glad to learn
of his promotion.

"Tho Olrl from Maxim's," a French fnrco
comedy, will bo nt Iloyd's theater tonight.
Thero Is but one company playing it, nnd

cessories and tho snmo elaborato production
given tho piny in New York. Tho cast is
headed by Miss Hnttle Williams, who has,
In the rolo of tho frisky girl from Mnxlm's,
met with considerable success. Miss Wil
liams' creation of tho wicked nnd frolicsome
but fascinating music hall favnrlto Is snld
to be a delightful and artistic characteriza
tion. With her In tho enst aro Thomas

creation In "Wilkinson's Widows;" Joseph
Alien and Unto Ten Kyck, the latter the
original Nannie In "Tho Little Minister."

cert tour of Europo last year was a succes
sion of financial and artistic triumphs. Tho
bnnd was entertained In every city visited
nnd Sousa was tho recipient of many soclnl
and otllclnl honors. Critical comments on
tho work of Sousa's band wero equally as
cordial and the press of the continent
tcomed with praise of It, written by tho
finest musical critics In tho world. Tho

MUSIC.
The musicians of Omnha arc surely a sin
gular combination of cross-purposes and
plans gangin' agley. Three concerts last
Thursday night nt three different churches!
What a task for n critic. When such a
thing occurs ngnln It Is to bo hoped that
the concert-givers will arrange to havo a
long dlstaucc telephonic connection placed
In tho critic's studio with threo distinct
ear tubes, so that each concert mny bo
heard alternately. It was Impossible for
mo to attend all threo concerts, of courso,
nnd Inasmuch as Rev. Newton SInnn's con
cert nt Unity church wns nnnounced llrst
nnd I had promised to attend that ono I wna
obliged to omit Mr. Shaw's concert at tho
St. Mary's Avenuo Congregational church,
and was also obliged to miss tho opportu
nity of hearing a free organ recital at
Kountze Memorial church. I hato to mls3
such nn opportunity because most musical
peoplo In Omnha know how eagerly I pur
sue such a form of entertainment, and then
I did dislike to mlsa tbo concert given at St.
Mary's Avenuo Congregational church by
Mr. Clement D. Shaw. What was tho mat
ter? Why did not Mr. Keck glvo a concert
nt Hnnscnm Park Methodist church? I wns
nonplussed at recclvlug tickets to this con
cert nnd hastened to nsk Mr. Keck If ho had
"yumped his yob" at St. Mary's. Mr. Keck
merely said: "No, they aro going to have
somo good music there tonight." (With an
accent on tho good.) However, I havo
learned from my enterprising newspaper
friends what u "story" Id, nnd how to get
It, and eo I proceeded on the Wlcklzer sys
tem, so well known to most news huntors
and used exclusively by Mr. Sherlock
Holmes,
From a member of tho choir I' learned

of this city never fall to apprise each other

Professional ethics In Omaha nre not nt
a very high point of development. Thero Is
no hnrm In ono's giving n concert wherever
ho wishes, without tho nld or consent of
nny nation on earth, or any person, who Is
"only n musician." Hut thero Is a littlo
rule which for altruistic excellence has
never been equalled, nnd thnt Is tho motto
which attracts tho attention of all tlioso
who congregate nt Unity church, for It Is
blazoned forth In letters of gold on tho
chancol nrch nnd reads: "Do unto others
ns you would that othors should do unto
you."
This rule works well. It works boih
wnys. It blesses him who acts upon It. It
Is worth considering. Wo all nocd sym
pathywo beings called musicians. Wo
mny as well begin at homo and become sym
pathetic offo to tho other. It will do us nil
good. Tho new century Is beginning and It
Is yet tlmo to think!
Now theso threo concerts last Thursday
night Interfered with each othor there can
bo no doubt. And tho musicians wore not,
I feel sure, plotting ngalnst each other.
I3ut "ovll Is wrought from wnnt of thought,"
says tho poet, and ho ought to know, nnd
so the conditions which mndo laymen feel
Inclined to say, "I told you so," when they
snw announcements of three musicians of
reputo holding forth at threo different
plnces were merely tho result of a littlo
thoughtlessness, which might hnve been
avoided had ench of tho concert promoters
looked out for the other nnd avoided simul
taneous dates.
This thoughtlessness, however, Is what
makes tho world consider musicians a war
ring tribe, and Interests genealogists In
proving thnt nuslclans nro descendants of
Ishmacl, concerning whom It was predicted
"And ho will bo a wild man; his band will
be against every man, and every man's
hand agalnBt him."
Perhaps It might not he a bad Idea for
us to adopt rather tho sentiment expressed
by nn ancient writer as follows: "They
helped every ono his neighbor; nnd ovory
ono Bald to his brother, Ho of good courogo.
So the carpenter encouraged tho goldsmith,
and ho that smoothoth with tho hammor,
him that smoto tho anvil, saying, It Is ready
for the soldering, and ho fastened It with
nails, that It uhould not bo moved."
This use of tho "hammer," smoothing
down with It, would bo very much better
than tho prosont use of tho Instrument, as
described by tho vulgar element In tho
torse phrase, "He has his hammor out."
Let us all "smooth down" with the hammer!
The most distressing condition with which
tho teacher of music, Instrumental or
vocal, Is confronted, 1b probably that which
wo describe as lack of spontanolty. How
often havo wo soen what might have proved
a most onjoyablo exposition of a song, or
Instrumental solo, marred by that fearful
word self-consciousness. Truly tho words
of nn ancient writer might be echoed by
those who sing nnd play In public. "Oh!
wretched man that I tun, who shall dollvcr
me from this body of death."
When wo see n man with eyes bursting
from their sockets, cheeks puffed out, body
In a tense condition, struggling to attain
a tono which ho thinks Is difficult to reach,
we feel a sympathy for him oven though
realizing that tho effort Is unnecessary.
The same fooling on our part Is Induced by
tho unfortunnto stato of tho prima donna
who, with upraised shoulders, contracted
chest nnd sqvcnzod waist, attempts to glvo
forth to n waiting world thnt wonderful
nnd nll-pervadlng sourco of power which
wo call Voice
Immnglno tho feeling of tho dear old
Saint Chrysostom ns ho looked upon tho
modern concert performance! Surely ho
would chango his lnnguago which ho once
so beautifully uttered, whon ho Bald, "Tho
truo Sheklnnh Is Man." How truo nro tho
words of Carlylo when wo comparo what
man might be, with what ho Is. "Alas, poor
devil! spectres aro appointed to haunt him;
ono ngo he Is hag-ridden, bewitched; the
noxt priest-ridden, befooled; In our ago
bedeviled, and now tho genius of mechan
ics smothers him worso than any nightmare
would, 'till tho soul Is nigh choked out of
him, and only n kind of dlgcstlvo
mechanic llfo remains."
As a matter of fact, and as I havo often
stated beforo In this column, wo nro all In
clined very strongly to bo anything hut our
selves. If wo could once get out of this
Idea music would loso Its apparent dllll
cultlcs of execution and tho study thereof
would become n Joyous pastlmo Instead of a
bore, whllo our powers of expression would
fit and fashion us for further conquests In
stead of making us mlsorablo with fear and
dread lest pcrohance wo may "break down."
Ilut wo are not ourselves, Whon chil
dren wo want to strut around In mother's
gown, or father's coat, or grandpa's spec
tacles; we make a kitchen chair Into ft

Old men made young again!
gilded coach and a rocker Into a Pullman
sleeping car.
When we grow older v?o march all tho
other fellows of tho neighborhood up and
down tho street to tho tuno of "Yankee
Doodle," furnished by a band whoso Instru
mentation consists of a pleco of tissue
paper, a comb, a rolled-up pleco of card
board, a drum and an empty dinner pall.
Later on wo grow Into this stylo of ac
tion, until our nature Is actually all affec
tation, puro nnd slmplo. Wo scarcoly talk
naturally to ourselves. Wo vlo with our
neighbors In seeing how very unllko our
selves wo can bo. Wo go to comic operas
and pay our good money to seo how very
unllko tholr real selves other people can
bo, nnd wo como homo nnd nro delighted
with tho successful attempts of tho stago
peoplo at becoming "somebody else."
So nothing will do hut thnt wo must try
that. 'If wo and ourfrlcnds havo any
dramatic talent, wo "get up" prlvato
theatricals. If wo havo musical talont,
wo "get up" n comic opera, and If wo havo
neither wo "get up" n fancy dress ball.
Tho only time wo aro really natural Is at
tho seaside, In bathing suit attired, nnd
oven then our very naturalness Is un
natural. It Is therefore tho results of a llfo of
being something nnd somebody olbo that
tho singer has to strugglo against when he
steps out in front of an nudlonco and at
tempts to sing,
Ilut, did ho havo tho real secret of how
to do It, could ho but send tho mcssago
straight from the soul, ho would ovorcomo
tho strain, and the stress, and tho strcnu
ousness. Tho telegraph polo docs not
swny and bend nnd strain nnd pull and
twist whllo tho message Is going from one
end of tho country to tho other. It Is n
passive agent. It keeps its placo. What
Is man, after all, but a telegraph polo?
Carlylo likens him to a "forked radish."
